hatband workers of Paterson notified
the manufacturers that unless the
latter consented to conference for
the purpose of formulating a fair
competition code in accordance with
the terms of the national recovery act
they would declare a general strike.
Although the hatband industry is
one of the most skilled divisions OF
silk manufacturing, wages have been
reduced until now the average week
ly pay is about $40, it was said. In
asmuch as approximately 80 per cent
of the hatband plants are located in
Paterson, general strike would vir-
tually tie up the whole hatband manu-
featuring industry.

LOWER ELECTRIC RATES

At it's meeting held last week cit.
council took action to reduce electri
rates to the users of current from
the city plant. The new rates meal
reductions in the bills of the domes
tic consumers of 21 to so per cen
and commercial % per cent. The new
rates are to go into immediate effect
Consumers of city current will bene
fit from the new rates in the very
next bills they receive.
This is indeed good news for city
current consumers. And especially sc
the workers of the city, many OF
whom are unemployed and have beer
so for many months. Every dime
yes, every penny, cut in the family
expenses, at this time when dimes and
pennies count so much, means a lot
to the jobless who don't know which
way to turn to make ends meet The
coming of the reduced rates is really
most timely and they receive a warm
welcome from all those patronizing
the city plant, and especially from the
working classes who constitute the
great majority Of domestic consum-
ers.
And credit where credit is due. To
City Manager Russell P. Price and his
able corps of assistants all credit is
due for the saving of thousands and
thousands of dollars annually to the
city electric current consumers by
reason of the lowered rates. 1t is due
to the efficient manner in which the

four years., and yet keep the depart

members Of city council, too, praise
is due for their prompt action upon
the recommendation of Mr.. Price so
that the reduced rates go into effect
at once, and with no delay.
Come again, Mr.. Price, still lower
electric rates, lower water and gas
rates if possible; all will get warm
and glad welcome from all the
people.

SEVEN STATES
Pass Minimum Pay Laws
Since January /

Washington, d. G. QLNS)-Mini-
mum wage legislation made inroads
into the Middle West recently when
Illinois passed minimum wage law,
making the seventh state to pass such
a wage law since the first of the year.
The law follows the pattern Of all
the other state laws and enforcement
problems will be the same, according
to Secretary Of Labor Perkins.
An invitation to confer in Wash
ington with Secretary Perkins on the
subject of enforcement of the mini
mum wage laws will be sent to Off
Gals of the seven states which have
passed laws this year. They are:
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Utah,
Connecticut, New Hampshire and
Illinois.
Recovery act administration Off
cials will confer with the state off
cials, but the state minimum wage
laws will not in any way be connected
with the industrial recovery act 1t
is thought that the passage of these
state laws will strengthen the fabric
of the national program, however.

rience were paid $2.98 for two weeks
work.
The testimony also revealed that
owners of and 10 cent stores work
their employees an average of sixty
hours week for 81 and compel them
to work Sundays preparing the stock.
In a sales contest one store owner
compelled girls who failed to sell an
average amount of goods to carry un-
wrapped nursing bottles to and from
work.
The inhuman wages, hours and
working conditions imposed on wom-
en- and girls by the sweatshop en-
ployers of Pittsburgh are duplicated
by unscrupulous employers in other
industrial sections of the state.
The conditions revealed by the Gal
lagher commission are a severe blow
to the prestige of Pennsylvania. The
state has labor laws galore, but they
do not enable the authorities to smite
the sweatshop owners.
A mandatory minimum wage law
of the New York type, which prohibits
the employment of women and minors
at wages unreasonably low and not
fairly commensurate with the value
of the service rendered, with ade-
quate penalties for violation, seems
to be absolutely necessary to end the
economic slavery imposed on thou
sands of Pennsylvania women work
ers by proft-mad employers.
Governor Clifford Pinchot should act
promptly and convene special ses-
sion of the Legislature for the pur-
pose of wiping out of Pennsylvania
industrial life the stigma of sweat
shop employers and starvation wages.

PENNSYLVANIA'S DISGRACE

The low wages and long hours i'm

Pennsylvania employers, brought to

state government for its failure
promptly to remedy the situation.

PRICE INCREASES AND WAGES

PRICE INCREASES AND WAGES
Some misinformed storekeepers and
others have gotten the idea that the
national industrial recovery act iusti-
fies them in immediately raising
prices. That is exactly what the re-
covery administration is seeking to
avoid
The law has been taken in some
circles as warrant to enter combina
tions to fix fees and prices and the
scale has run upward to 100 per cent
in numerous instances.
Price-boosting concerns have over
looked the essential point in the re-
covery program that wages should
go up in advance of price increases
or at least keep pace with them. In
some cases wages have actually been
advanced, but in no instance has the
increase been commensurate with the
greater cost of the service or price
of the commodity.
President Roosevelt has directed
attention to the fact that the whole
recovery program will fail if price
increases are put ahead of the pur-
chasing power of the consumer. That
seems to be what is actually taking
place all over the nation. and the
government will have to act quickly
and stop this petty profteering or the
plan will be seriously impeded.

TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN

Remember that jingle about the

It's necessary only to observe the
codes that are being filed with the

Knowing full we'll the purpose of
the law, they come tripping along
with codes that are as full of tricks
as magician's hat.
They know a real and sharp short
ening of the work week is needed and
planned. But they offer work weeks
running as long as 48 hours.
They offer wages for hard labor
that ought to shame 10-cent store.
They just don't get the idea.
But they will, never fear. They
will
These poor fellows who two months
ago were wailing in despair, many
of them certain that they were all
doomed, are riding hard, making
every effort to see how deep they dig
into what they now believe is to be
new and unfailing well of profits.
The great American Business Man
is, in many respects, a pain in the

sometimes recklessly.
How patriotic is businessl

How patriotic is business!
The cotton textile code is promul-
gated, effective certain day.
And what, ladies and gentlemen,
happens?
Do all of the textile mills sit up
nights getting ready for the new
program
The answer, trusting souls, is that
they do not.
They proceed to act like pack of
wolves, each working with high fever
and under high pressure, to see how
much ADVANCE SURPLUS they can
pile up at the old low wages and
with the old long work-week
The more they can pile up in sur
plus at the old low production costs,
the more PROFIT, kind people, they
can pile up when prices advance un-
der the new schedules of wages and
hours
That's pretty good picture of the
wisdom and the patriotism of indus
try.
You can look for an increase of
about per cent in price, on account
of the new code. If there is additional
increase, start yelling like blazes.
| Of course the industrial recovery
act doesn't confer upon anybody the
power to go out and grab chisellers
and throw them sans ceremony into
the hoosegow.
But the law does not confer the
power upon administrators and courts
to get them by the neck in an orderly
and lawful manner and do to them
things drastic, swift and plenty.
So, observe the patriotism of busi-
ness and watch for further happen
ings.
The nation is coming swiftly to an
era of higher wages and, of course
higher prices. But prices must not
run too far ahead or there will be
a grand smash-and trouble in car
