PLANS FOR PROTECTIVE
LEAGUE UNDER DISCUSSION

Tentative plans are being made for
o Vashon Island Farmers Game Pro-
tective League. While no definite pro-
gram has been outlined the operation
of the plan under consideration would
provide for hunting restrictions only
within 100 yards of hen house OF
residence. A fee of Is cents for
pheasants and 10 cents for quail would
be charged the hunter, who would be
held responsible for any damage done.
Questions arising would be settled by
an Island game protector to be chosen
by the League.
The Sportsmans Association aims
to be honest and fair, and to promote
real craftsmanship. The members
realize that the poor craftsmanship of
one individual can paint the whole
fraternity with poor reputation.
They feel also that lot of infrac-
tions are blameable to local men and
boys, as well as hunters from off of
the Island and the entire membership
Is working toward Island wide CO.
operation.
An effort will be made to have
hunters from the mainland register
when they arrive and check out before
getting ON the ferry. BY cooperation
on the part of local and foreign sports
men the time may come when the Is
land farmers will feel it is no longer
necessary to post their farms, and 1t
, would be boost for the Island for
sportsmen to know that there was q
place in this part of the state where
they would find no mo Hunting"
signs.
Every farmer and sportsman on the
Island Is urged to attend the next
meeting of the Sportsman's Associ-
alton to be held at the Island Club
next Friday evening, May 5th, when
this new plan for protective league
will be fully discussed.
E. r. NePage, President.

TEXTILE OWNERS
VIOLATE NRA CODE
ATLANTA REPRESENTATIVE OF
A. F. OF l.. FILES 500 COM
PLANTS WITH MIRA.

WASHINGTON - Cotton textile
mill owners in the South have resort
ed to wholesale violation of the labor
provisions of the code for that indus
try promulgated by President Roose-
welt, according to a report received by
the National Recovery Administration
from George L. Googe, in charge of
the American Federation of Labor or
ganizing campaign headquarters in
Atlanta, Ga.
Mr.. Googe transmitted about SOC
complaints of violations of the code to
Edward f. McGrady, Assistant Recov-
cry Administrator.
The violations complained of in
cluded the CHASING experienced men
as learners, the use of the Stretch
out" system, discrimination against
union workers, and failure to pay over
time for maintenance employees.
"No mills that | know Of r living
up to the code as signed by the Presi-

Steel BaronS Bar Green
from Labor Conference
Angered at Organized Labors Success in Striking the
Company Union Scheme from Their Code, Corporation
Officials Bolt Farley When A. F. L. President Appears.

WASHINGTON.-The Labor Ad-
visory Board of the National Recov-
cry Administration protested the ac-
ton of President William A. Irwin of
the U. S. Steel Corporation, President
E. G. Grace of Bethlehem Steel and
other steel leaders, in declining to
meet with William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor and
one of the Recovery Administrations
labor advisors on the steel code, in a
conference on wages and hours called
by Secretary of Labor Perkins.
At the hearings the steel men de-
manded a 40-hour week, while labor
asked 30 hours. On wages the steel
gentry said from 80 to 40 cents an
hour was high enough for the mini
mum wage, while Mr.. Green and Or
ganized labor insisted on 60 cents an
hour flat.
Meeting with Secretary of Labor
Perkins and officials of the Recovery
Administration, the steel men abrupt
ly left the room when Mr.. Green APP
peared.
As a member of the Labor Advisory
Board assigned to the steel code prob
lem, Mr.. Green not only had a right
to attend the conference, but it was
his duty to do SC.
At the hearings on the fair compe-
tition code, organized labor, led by
Mr.. Green, succeeded in knocking the
company union, which is the pet
scheme of the steel barons for en-
shaving their employees, from the code.
The success of this fight evidently
aroused the deep animosity of the
anti-union steel men and to show the
deep-seated nature of their enmity for
the workers they bolted the confer
ence rather than discuss hours and
wages with the leader Of the Ameri-
can labor movement.
Company Unions Issue.
The issue in steel is the guarantee
of the Recovery Acts provisions for
collective bargaining for labor, and
the Interpretation of them, as opposed
to the industry's policy of operating
company unions and barring national
ly organized unions.
Explaining that he was present at
the conference as a member of the
Labor Advisory Board as well as on
the invitation of Secretary Perkins,
Green contended the walking out of
steel leaders was a challenge to the
Government" and added:
"The question is whether steel is to
dictate to the Government or whether

WASHINGTON.-The officers and
members of 48 State Federations of
Labor, LOO City Central Bodies,
and 10000 Local Trade I'm
ions were called upon to mobilize
their forces for the complete enforce
ment of President Roosevelt's volun-
5try agreement and the National Re-
covery Act by William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor.
Both the voluntary agreement and
the specific fair competition codes
contain important provisions relative
to the maximum length of the work
day and the work week, minimum
wages, employment Of child labor, and
various other matters vital to the re-
employment of millions of jobless and
the increase of mass purchasing pow
er, which are the essential features of
the entire recovery program.
There is no provision in the Recov-
cry Act for Government inspectors to
watch over the enforcement of the
codes. In this contingency it is neces-
sary for organized labor to step into
the breach and keep a careful and

WOMEN WORKERS
WIN PROTECTIVE
LEGISLATION

A wider acceptance of responsible
ity by state governments for the well
fare of wa%ge-earning women is indi-
Gated in a recent summary of labor
legislation in the six months ended
June 80, prepared by the Federal
Women's Bureau. AT least IA state
legislatures enacted new labor laws
for women or passed amendments to
existing laws during that period.
Seven states provided machinery for
the setting up of minimum wages, &C.
cording to the report. Six of these
New York, New Jersey, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Ohio and Illinois,
passed laws that are essentially SIM
liar, being patterned on a standard
bill advocated by the National Con-
sumers' League. The law of the sew
enth state, Utah, is modelled on that
of California. These laws all apply
to women and minor employees and
are broad in scope, their coverage in
Guiding practically all occupations.
"The enactment OF minimum-wage
statutes" states the Women's Bur-
eau summary, SHOULD be a strong
bulwark in these states to establish
more permanently the social and eco
nomic benefits sought to be obtained
through minimum-wage provisions of
the National codes now being agreed
to-"
In addition to the new minimum
wage statutes enacted, two amend
ments to the existing Massachusetts
Act on this subject were passed, both
designed to make the law more eff
fective. One increases the penalty
for failure to keep and submit for in
spection the required record of en-
ployees, their hours, and wages. The
second requires manufacturers paying
less than a decreed minimum wage so
to label their products. Retailers al
so may be required to inform pur-
chasers that the goods were made I'M
der s~ubstandard conditions.
In Rhode Island, where a minimum
wage bill failed of passage, a legisla-
tive committee was appointed to in
vestigate working conditions.
Six states enacted changes n hour
laws affecting ome New Mexico
and Wyoming joined the group OF pro.
gressive states that guarantee legal
maximum hours of 8 daily and 4e
weekly to women workers. Connectl,
cut reduced the working hours Of
women in certain employments includ'
ing mercantile and restaurants, from
8 hours weekly to 81 weekly and
daily. Other changes in existing houl
laws were as follows: Minnesota mad

The commandments follow:
81. Thou shalt have no other codes

"2. Thou shalt not make unto thy

special privileges that are not in har-
mony with the ideals of the Recovery
Act.
"Thou shalt not stoop down beneath

upon the heads of those who violate
the ethics of the new deal.
"And will show consideration to all
those who serve it faithfully and keep

"3. Thou shalt not speak irrever-
emily concerning the government for
the government will not hold him
blameless that findeth fault.
"a. Remember the Sabbath Day to
keep it holy. Five days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work. Thirty-five
hours in seven days is allotted to mar

LABOR SUNDAY
MESSAGE, sept.
3RD, 1888


ISSUED by the Executive Commit
tee of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America,
through its Department of the Church
and Social Service.)
ass
In this period of long-continued
hardship and human suffering, the
churches in giving spiritual help and
physical relief to individuals, should
not forget to lift high the ideals and
principles of their faith upon which a
better world must now be built. The
voice of the prophet needs once more
to be heard, both proclaiming the need
of personal righteousness and calling
men and nations to repentance for
unchristian relationships in our eco
nomic life; crying in the wilderness
of modern times, make straight in
the desert a highway for u God"
The teachings of Christ which bear
on economics are not expressed in
technical terms. They deal primarily
with motives and human values. They
are therefore the more searching and
timeless. They center upon the price
less worth of the humblest human be-
ing; the fundamental place of love in
human life; the religious significance
of daily bread, shelter and security.
They give supreme emphasis to the
motive Of serving the common good as
over against private s~elf-seeking;
"Whosoever loseth his life for my
sake, shall find it,"
These teachings strike at the very
root of the exploitation of human life
for profit, at the mania for gambling
and stock speculation, and at all eff
forts to acquire wealth while making
no personal contribution to society,
Jesus teachings of love and brother
hood are in sharp contrast with the
present shocking inequalities of wealth
and income. His teachings clearly set
forth principles that demand an in
dustrial and economic system dedi-
Gated to the common good.
AS an expression of the specific
ideals for which the chuches should
stand in seeking to bring in this bet
ter social order, we would point to
those articles of the recently revised
Social Ideals of the Churches which
deal with economic questions. They
include the following declarations:
The Churches Should Strive For:
Practical application of the Chris
tian principle of social well-being Il
the acquisition and use of wealth
subordination of speculation and tn
profit motive to the creative and co
operative spirit.

TORONTO, Ont.-(FP) Eager
eyes in Canada are riveted on the
Roosevelt recovery program in the
United States. Estimates of its sue
cess tend to be skeptical though they
are not unsympathetic. The Canadian
Forum, leading organ of liberal opin-
ion in the dominion, says in its Aug
ust issue:
"If the Roosevelt recovery program
cannot put real props under the pres
ent (price) levels before the natural
deflation sets in, there are sad days
ahead for both the country and the
administration. At the time of writ
ing chances do not look any too
bright. If the Roosevelt program
fails before it has a fair trial, it should
be a matter of unqualified regret for
the nations as a whole.
"The Roosevelt program is an eff
fort to bring about such a change

essential alteration in the existing
capitalist organization other than GER
tain restrictions imposed by the gov
eminent for the good of the commun-
ity at large. If this effort can be car
ried to a decisive conclusion we shall
have learned much about the adequacy
or limitations Of such a program as
well as about it's cost to the nation

Howard Hits Child Labor
in Daily Newspaper Code
President of International Typographical Union Declares
the Blue Eagle of MIRA While ~Scuttling Its Principles

Observation-Disclosures opposi-
ton to the fair competition code
submitted to the National Recovery
Administration by the American News
paper Publishers Association was
expressed by Charles P. Howard,
President of the International Typo
graphical Union, who is in Washington
to look after the interests of the
printers in connection with codes
covering the industry.
Mr.. Howard condemned absolutely
the code provision which permits the
employment Of children, and said the
International Typographical Union
would fight to a finish the employers
proposed 40 and 44-hour week.
Mr.. Towards statement follows, in
part:
Employers Favor Child Labor.
"When the employers in textiles and
other industries were forced by the
President to abolish child labor to Sc
cure approval of codes under the
MIRA the country applauded. News
paper publishers gave hearty approval
in both editorial and news columns,
And now when a code is presented
for daily newspapers it is the only one
that purposes no regulation Of child
labor and if approved in the form pre-
scented it will permit children to sell
and distribute newspapers during any
hours of the day or night.
In a survey by the Children's Bur-
eau of the Department of Labor,
published under the title Child Work
ers in City Streets it is shown that
this is one of the most demoralizing,
strenuous, and hazardous types OF
child labor found anywhere.
"Under present conditions there is
a surplusage of adult labor and youths
over 16 years of age available for this
work, and the failure Of the newspaper
publishers to eliminate child labor in
their code is a further evidence of the
desire to be considered a privileged
class because they control the avenues
of publicity.
Code Violates Recovery Law.
"The code presented by the publish
ers does not conform to either the
spirit or letter of the law. Section
4 (a) of the MIRA anticipates that
there shall be conferences between
employees in formulating a code ant
mutual agreement when possible. The
code presented was prepared by ant
on behalf of the employers in thu
daily newspaper industry without con
ference and without consideration o.
