COMPER'S
Memorial Is Monument To
Principle of Voluntary
Action, Says Green

Washington, D. c.. (ILNS)-La-
boris memorial tribute to Samuel
Gompers, given expression in bronze
and marble, will be dedicated here on
Saturday, October z, to take its place
in the capital with other enduring
memorials to the nations great.
President Roosevelt will be the chief
speaker. Discussing what the memo
rial means to labor and the nation,
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, said:
"The Gompers' memorial is desig-
mated as a lasting memorial to the
work of the beloved leader of labor
in the interest of justice, liberty, the
home and children. 1t will remind
generations to come of the work Of
Gompers, who was one Of the great
builders Of this nation, during both
peace and war
"The memorial, built with the vol
untary offerings of thousands of trade
unionists, is monument to the prin-
ciple of voluntary action to which
Gompers contributed so much and
which has come to be recognized in
democratic countries as the soundest
basis for progress. This principle is
now recognized in the national indus
trial recovery act, under which wage
earners are given the right to organ
ize freely and voluntarily, without
restraint or interference. 1t is the
principle to which Mr. Gompers gave
alliance during his long life of serv-
ice to humanity"

Landlords Want 60
Hour Week for Apart
ment House Employees

Cleveland Residents of apartment
houses, who all through the depres-
sion have been trying to induce the
landlords to cut rents at least a frac-
tional proportion to common pay re-
ductions, will be interestd to learn
that the National Association OF
Apartment Owners and Managers was
told in convention here that it would
be Suicidal" for them to accept the
presidents "Blue Eagle" agreement
without reservations.
Particularly, they feel that they
must work their employees at least &C
hours a week, and their committee
turned down the so-called Summer
days code which called for a 54-houl
week. The convention was urged te
combine with the National Building
Owners and Managers Association te
obtain "fair" treatment from the ma.
tional recovery administration.

Labor Representation Demanded
In Every Phase of MIRA Activity
CODE HOURS
Too Long, According to Re-
ports to A. f. of L.

Washington, D. C. ILNS)-Hours
of work established by MIRA codes
were condemned as too long, and the
30-hour week with no reduction in
pay was advocated in reports pre-
sented to the annual conventions of
the metal trades department and
building trades department Of the
American Federation Of Labor, held
previous to the opening of the feder-
atoms annual convention here.
The report of President James
O'Connell and Secretary Treasurer
John P. Frey to the metal trades CON
vention said that federal statistics
show that 40-hour week, set in many
of the codes, is much too long if the
purpose Of regulating the length of
the work week is to give everyone
an opportunity for employment"
The available federal statistics for
industry as whole indicate that it
would require work week of less
than 30 hours to give employment to
the army of the unemployed" the re-
port said.
President NJ. j. McDonough, of the
building trades department, analyzing
the proposed code for the building
industry, advocated maximum 80
hour working week, and declared the
proposed code wages were totally in
adequate.
Solomon Barkin, of the MIRA La
Dor Advisory Borad, supported the
,, departments demand for the 90-hour
week, and said that a 30-hour week
is imperative if direct attack is to
be made on unemployment"
only 81 out of every 100 workers
are employed, and of these only half
are engaged full time" he said. "The
30-hour week is short enough to make
significant impression on the unem-
ployment situation and long enough
to provide a basic income"

FIRE FIGHTERS
In st. Paul Win COst-Of
Living Pay Suit

st. Paul, Minn.-Members of Local
No. 81, International Association of
Fire Fighters, have won a hotly-con-
tested suit in district court here to
compel the city to live up to wage
contract with its employees.
F. L. Lundstrum, secretary of the
local, explains that in 1922 the city
council passed an ordinance providing
that pay of classified service employ
es should be computed on the living
cost base established by the June sur
vey of the United States Bureau of
Labor Statistics. During the boom
years, when commodity prices scared,
the firemen's wages Jagged.
So when the city council in 1882,
early in the depression, had up an Or
dinance cutting city wages, the fire
men tried unsuccessfully to obtain an
exemption. When many of them
thought it lost cause, the majority
decided otherwise and placed the mat
ter in the hands of law firm, the
local paying its retainer, the balance
of their fee to be paid by benefciar
les on a contingent basis.
As a result of the court victory,
the city has budgeted $4,000 as first
installment on a total Of approx
mately $24O,000 the firemen will re-
ceive.

Among the charges were the fol

The presidents agreement, as

The agreement has not served
to increase employment, but has
operated merely to further

the employees.
Regular employees are hired

there is no real emergency, but

Higher Compensation Asked
For Children Hurt at Work

New York City (ILNS-A study
conducted in Tennessee, Wisconsin
and Illinois reveals that compensation
for minors injured in industrial acci-
dents is inadequate, the national
child labor committee reports. The
committee asks that state laws be
amended to provide adequate COM
pensation for minors.
The report, submitted by Charles E.
Gibbons, said the recovery act pro-
gram has removed many children"
from industry, but that the number of
workers between 16 and 18 years of
age is still we'll over a million"
I'm fact" the report said, their
number may be increasing in certain
industries where the codes permit a
lower wage rate for junior employees"

Utility Workers Charge
Violation Of Blanket Code
Electric Light and Power Companies Are Floutng Pres

Told

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Charg-
ing that public utilities are violating
the presidents unemployment code,
by cutting pay, altering working con-
ditions to suit their convenience
against and in some cases carrying
on campaign against union affilia-
ton, utility employees all over the
nation are threatening to strike. This
was made known in letter sent to
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, recovery ad-
ministrator, by the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
The letter points out that no code
has been provided for the electric
light and power industry and urgently
requests that date for public hear
ing on code be set. 1t charges that
the electric utilities were violating
the letter and spirit of the recovery
act before the acceptance of the
presidents unemployment agree
ment, and says the companies are
using the agreement to lower wages,
in many instances, and otherwise to
modify existing conditions to favor
themselves.
Charges in the letter are based upon
a nationwide survey just completed
by the electrical workers. Reports
from local unions charge violations Of

trio light and power companies in

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Mak-
ing public the monthly unemployment
report of the American Federation of
Labor, based on data from affiliated
organizations, President William
Green said that the federation esti-
mates unemployment is still more
/ than 100000, though $4,000 per-
sons returned to work in August.
President Green warned that i'm
provement in employment must not
mislead the nation into thinking that
the need for relief is over. Relief
needs this winter will be greater than
ever before" he added.
"The presidents unemployment
program in it's first month brought
greater progress in employment than
in any month since the depression
began" Mr. Green said. He contin-
ued:
Reports of the labor department
show that in the II industries covered
by their figures, 100000 persons went
back to work from July Is to August
Is, and when other industries are add
ed to this total, the federation esti-
mate shows that in all $4,000 men
and women went back to work in the
month of August This reduces un-
employment to 1,001 900, according
to our preliminary estimate.
"Trade union reports for the first
part of September indicate that the
unemployment program is still going
forward. They show larger en-
ployment gain in September than in
August, the largest gain in fact for
any month since March, 1888, except
June In September 22.6qo of the
membership were out of work, COM
pared with 23:7@o in August, 241%
in July, and 26.6%d in March. The
gains were chiefly in full time work,
for part-time work did not increase.
OF our "a cities, 20 reported gain
in employment.
Nevertheless when one considers
the 11,001, 900 persons still out of
work and looks ahead to winter
months when more than a million will
probably lose their jobs, progress in
the conquest of unemployment seems
slow indeed. But miracles do not hap
pen even under the NRA, and the fact
that more than 2,800000 have gone
back to work since March, when all
industries are counted is at least a
beginning toward recovery. Unem-
ployment has been reduced by 20 per
cent since its peak in March.
This beginning of unemployment
must not mislead US into thinking that
the need for relief is over or that it
is even decreasing. Despite the re-
turn to work of 100000 by August,
the number of families on relief rolls
in our principal cities in August was
S5 to 80 per cent above August last

washington, ~. y. (ILN y LABOR
representation in every phase of the
operation of the national industrial
recovery act is demanded by the ex-
ecutiye council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in its report to the
annual convention of the federation
here. The report declares labor rep
resentation is essential to success of
the recovery act.
Pointing out that the recovery act
vitality affects every worker, the ex-
ecutive council says that the age-long
struggle for human justice has cen
tered around the right of representa-
tion for those affected by decisions.
1t continues:
"The right to participation in de-
cisions which concern us either per-
sonally or by representation, is
principle growing out Of the facts Of
human nature and human experience.
To secure this fundamental right is
the primary purpose of the labor
movement.
Workers Directly Affected
'The national recovery administra-
tion in attempting to direct planning
in industry, is setting up industrial
policies and standards that affect
wage earners profoundly. The whole
organization of industry, trade prac-
tices, accounting and recording pro-
cedures, declaration of dividends, re-
serves, ETC., directly condition and con-
troll the opportunities and sources
within which standards for wage
earners must be fixed. In order to
exercise any real control wage earn
ers must have the right of represen-
tation where decisions are made that
limit their own opportunities.
'The right of representation is es-
sential to developing balanced data
upon which to make decisions to as
sure balance in economic progress
and, hence, sustained prosperity. La
Dor maintains, therefore, that if the
recovery act is to achieve its purpose
jobs for the unemployed and in
creased buying power-representa-
tives of wage earners must have a
voice in every stage of code making.
Labor Representation Vital
'Inequitable distribution of income
and unemployment were the result of
an industrial control from which la
Dor was excluded. We cannot expect
to reverse these two causes OF eco
nomic disaster unless specific provi-
sions are made for wage-earner rep
resentation and participation in every
stage Of control.
"The American Federation of Labor
declares that labor representation in
the drafting of code proposals in
every stage of code hearing before
the national recovery administration
and in the enforcement and admins
trative agencies provided by the code,
is essential to achieving the purposes
Of the national recovery act and to
meeting the requirements of human
justice"
In discussing tendencies and prob
lens Of the recovery act, the report
again stresses labor representation,
| saying:
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1933-10-06
Organization Stressed

The council declares that if the
purpose of the recovery act is to be
achieved, it is obvious that many
codes must be re-opened for construc-
tive revision.
"'The future of the recovery act de-
pends upon the honesty and impair
tiality of such revisions and the in
creasing development of balanced
participation in decisions of policy and
standards" the report adds.
The report points out that the
workers must be organized to secure
the maximum benefits under the re-
covery act.
Reorganization of wage earners in
unions is the first step for labor's
participation in national planning and
economic control, as it has ever been
the first step in labor's progress" it
is declared. "Unions can provide rep
iresentative authority and responsible
ity. With adequate and competent
representation, labor can do its share
in carrying out the purpose of the
recovery act, and in directing develop
ments so that accomplishments may
constitute a foundation for future
growth"

TO VOICE IN ALL DECISIONS
A. F. of l.. Executive Council Declares Workers Must Be
Represented if Purpose of Recovery Act Is to Be
Achieved.

Wage earners, although co-equal
with capital as producing essential
are in almost every code ignored in
setting up the continuing code au.
thority for the industry with power
to legislate. AS codes will provide in
dustrial government, the significance
of this situation is very grave Work
ers as such should have representa-
tion on the code authority on an equal
footing with all other members"
Code Revision Urged
The report reiterates and empha-
sizes labor's view that hours are toe
long and wages too low in codes al
ready established. A summary OF
standards set up by codes, the report
says, discloses definitely the following
development and problems:
Hours of work are too long to
assure absorption of the millions
without Jobs.
Minimum wages are so low that
purchasing power lags behind
production.
'In order to make the national re.
covery act serve the purpose for which
it was intended" the report says, "it
will be necessary to have much great.
er reductions in work hours and very
much higher standards for minimum
wages :. Forty and 48 hours-anc
even longer on those exempted groups
such as watch and repair crews-have
been set by codes and agreements
when the figures showed that nc
longer than 30 hours per week could
be allowed if we were to find jobs fol
