WAGES
IN BOSS
BOARD ADMITS

NEW YORK-(FP)-Real weekly
earnings of the workers throughout
the nation declined 1.8 per cent dur
ing August, according to the National
Industrial Conference Board, a con-
sentative employers group. The sur
vey was based on the reports of 25
nationwide manufacturing industries.
This decline in real wages occurred
while average hourly earnings Of wage
earners rose from 45.5c in July to
49.7c in August and average hours of
work a week fell from 1926 to 1873.
The net result of these two develop
ments was a slight rise of Toe in aver
age weekly earnings, which was off
set because the cost of living rose
more than earnings.
The survey reported that the num-
Der of persons employed increased SO
per cent in August over July, while
total payrolls rose 9 per cent. these
changes the survey says, reflect the
governments industrial policies rather
than increased business activity"

BLUE EAGLE
DISPLAYING THE
UNION LABEL

MONTEREY, Cal.-(FP) The
Blue Eagle has replaced the union
label and the establishment of codes
takes the place of union agreements,
A. w. Hoch, president of the Califor-
mia Federation of Labor, declared at
the 34th annual convention of that
body, held at Monterey.
Unconditional pardon for Tom
Mooney was demanded by the fedora
tion, which through the Citizens Com
mittee on Legal Reforms, a subsidiary
body, has asked the legislature to
make the necessary changes in the
law so as to remedy the defects in
criminal procedure brought to light
through the Mooney-Billings cases.
The federation sustained a drop of
more than 5000 members in good
standing during the past year, it was
reported. The number of union MEM
bers in bad standing, however, is ex-
~ceptionally high due to unemployment.
Membership in the federation now
was given as 80, 100, with 564 affil-
lated locals and % central labor coun-
oils.

In addition to this, Fuller & Co.

weeks vacation with full pay had not
been in force the past two years.

LOS ANGELES-(FP)-Upton Sin

PEELED from the Socialist Party of
California by the state executive COM
mittee after he had announced that
he had registered as a Democrat and
that he would try for the Democratic
nomination for governor.
Harold Ashe, state secretary of the
party, declared it "a futile SUPPOSE
ton that Socialists can use a capital
list party to further the interests of
the working class" Ashe revealed
that Sinclair had not been a dues-pay-
ing member of the Socialist Party
since March 81.
Sinclair has declared that, if elect
ed governor, he would do away with
poverty in California in two years.

SCAB SHOP MAKES
MEMORIALFOR
GOMPERS

NEW YORK-(FP)-A spontan-
eous strike against low wages at the
plant of the General Bronze Corp. in
Corona, New York suburb, has brought
out the fact that the memorial to Sam
uel Gompers, long president of the
American Federation Of Labor, has
just been completed in a scab shop.
The memorial was completed Sept.
"a, the company reports, and adds that
it has no agreement with any union"
The boss also denies that there had
been a strike at its plant for two
weeks before the memorial was COM
pleted but it appears that there was a
spontaneous walkout, not led by any
of the metal workers unions.
AS a member of the Cigarmakers'
Union, which originated the union la
bel, and leader of A. F. of L. forces
for nearly half a century, Gompers
was the nations outstanding propo-
nent of patronizing union industry as
a means Of building the labor move
ment and assuring fair conditions for
the workers.

NEW ~YORK-(FP)-A supreme eff
fort to build a united front Of prac-

ing militarism and war preparations,
which are worldwide, is seen in the U.
S. Anti-War Congress meeting, Sept.

Henri B~arbusse, noted French auth
or and peace leader, is the outstand-
ing foreigner attending the sessions.
Tom Mann, aged British radical lead
err, was barred by the Department of
Labor until too late for him to at
tend the sessions but he will spend the
two weeks following the congress in
a lecture tour of the country. He
arrives the day after the congress adj
journs-a sardonic touch on Washing

Congress headquarters report that
$500 delegates represent the most

together in a peace meeting, with
church delegations rubbing elbows
with Communists, the Industrial Work
ers of the World and the American
Federation of Labor on the same
committees, with liberals, veterans
and farmers intermixed.

TO All Central Labor Bodies:
Dear Sir and Brothers:

To All Central Labor Bodies:
Dear Sir and Brothers:
The Coopers' International Union is
asking your support to have the Pub
lie drink from union-made barrels.
We wish to call your attention to
the fact that many brewers are buy
ing foreign-made and non-union bar
rels in preference to American union
made barrels. We also advise that
steel barrels are non-union and are a
poor substitute for the wooden bar
rels. They are affected by the heat
and cold and rust thus endangering
the public's health.
The Coopers' International Union,
one of the oldest organizations in the
labor movement, respectfully requests
that your body go on record as in
favor of the Brewers buying union
made wooden barrels and that the
Press be notified of your action.
Fraternally yours,
COOPERS' INTL. UNION,
James j. Doyle, Sec'y-Treas.

FLINT, Mich.-(FP)- More than
1900 die and pattern makers in the
Buick, Chevrolet and A. C. Spark
Plug plants walked out demanding an
increase in wages from 85c an hour to
81 and a 5-day week. The men r
organized in the Mechanics Educa-
tional Assn, an independent union
composed mainly of skilled tool and
die workers. This is their busy sea-
son.
Matthew Smith, Chevrolet employee
and leader of the strikers, declared
that all units of the General Motors
Corp. in Flint were disregarding the

All three plants have recently in

40 AND 48 HOURS PER WEEK HAVE
BEEN ESTABLISHED WHEN 3O-HOUR
WEEK is LIMIT TO PUT MILLIONS OF
JOBLESS BACK TO WORK.
SOME CODES HAVE ACTUALLY DE-
CREASED THE WORKERS. EARNINGS

WASHINGTON Strong criticism
of the hours and wages thus far in
%corporated in the fair competition
codes set up under the National Re-
covery Act as utterly inadequate to
meet the crisis presented by yer H.
100000 unemployed workers and pro-
vide the decent living standards i'm
peratively necessary to absorb the
products Of our industrial plants, was
made by the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor in their
report to the Federation's convention
in session here.
In plain violation of the spirit of
the Recovery Act, the Council said,
employers have so perverted some
codes as to actually increase hours
and decrease workers incomes.
The Council also protested vigorous
ly against the anomaly that although
the workers have more at stake than
any other element they are refused
membership in the bodies established
to administer the codes.
''The standards established by the
codes thus far approved" the Council
asserted, disclose definitely the fol-
lowing developments and problems:
"Hours Of work are too long to as
sure absorption of the millions with
out jobs.
Minimum wages are so low that
purchasing power lags behind produc-
ton.
Wage Differentials Assailed.
"The differential between wages to
negro workers and white workers will
maintain the differential in living
standards and purchasing power be-
tween the two races and will continue
the wide spread between average in
comes in the South and those in the
North.
"The territorial differential based
upon an assumed difference in costs
of living in various regions and be-
tween small and large communities for
which no sustaining data exist, will
encourage the migration of industries
seeking lower labor costs and will con
tinue an undesirable factor in COM
petition and in the distribution of in
dustrial establishments.

THOUSANDS NOW
ON STRIKE FOR
NEW UNION

WILKES-BARRE, Pa (FP) -
Foreshadowing further labor unrest
throughout the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania, a call for a strike of
all employees of the Hudson Coal Co.
was needed by thousands of miners,
who succeeded in closing down every
operating mine of that company in
Luzerne county, center Of the hard
coal territory. Several mines in Lack
awanna county were also closed.
The strike call was issued by the
newly-organized Anthracite Miners of
Pennsylvania. Claiming to have 1902
locals of the old United Mine Work
ers of America behind them, the new
union is preparing to call a strike of
the Glen Alden Coal Co. miners in
the near future, which, if successful,
will radically change union conditions
in this old u. M. w. A. territory.

leaders of the Natl. Miners Union,

syndicalism, have been released on
$4,000 bond each. One of the three,
Paul Crouch, also faces trial on a

Crouch, Charles Guynn and Charles

the defendants seems to be that they
