LABOR SCORES.
Gates UNION
PROGRAM
Resiuned NRA officials Views
Would Have NuIIified
Work, Leaders Say

The vertical union" views OF
Dudley Gates, which proved so
much out of line with NRA poll
cies that he submitted his resig-
nation, were today characterized
by labor officials as constituting
a scheme that would have made
union organization wholly inef.
fectual.
The impression gained some
headway that what Gates really
wanted was an industrial union,
organized on the basis of indus
tries rather than by crafts.
On the contrary, labor special
lists assert that his plan was for
the organization of unions by in
dividual businesses, much like the
company union"
Three Types
There are three more or less
recognized types of union organi-
zation-first, the trade or craft
union, typified by most of the or
ganizations of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Under this ar
rangement, all electricians, for
example, would be organized on
the basis of their occupation, and
their union would be connected
with other unions of electricians
throughout the country.
Second, there is the industrial
union, of which the National Mi
nerS' Union and the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers are ex-
amples. In such unions all en-
ployes of the industry are mem.
bers of the same union, though
they may be engaged in many
kinds of work.
The third type, the company
union, is. as its name implies,
practically dominated by the COM
pany for which the employees
work. 1t is not, in general. con-
sidered a legitimate labor union,
so far as the NRA is concerned.
The vertical union" proposed
by Gates would not necessarily
be a company union, but it would
be a union composed simply Of
the employees of one firm or cor
poration.
Labor Opposed
Labor's opposition to his plan,
therefore, was that it would rem
der the unions ineffective, and
General Johnson's opposition was
due to his opinion that the Gates
idea ran counter to the intent
of NRA.
The conflict between Gates and
labor officials of the NRA began
almost with his entry to the
scene. He felt that he should
sit in on all meetings of the
labor advisory board, it is said,
and the board was opposed to
the idea.

HIGHLAND, N. Y, Sept. 4
(U.SO The most exclusive the.
atrical first-night ever staged on
or off Broadway was held in a
makeshift auditorium here Satur-
day night, when the ardent mud
lists who compose the Out-of-Doors
Club presented the one-act COM
edy, Barely Proper" for the
entertainment of their members.
Costuming was a simple prob
lem, for the members of the cast
wore nothing.
Audience Clothed
And unless you were a men,
ber of the nudist colony or of
the working press, you couldn't
beg, buy, borrow or steal ticket.
Close to 100 members of the
club formed the audience, who
grouped themselves on chairs and
stools in one of the club build
ings and applauded the un-
clothed actors.
The footlights we're kerosene
lamps with reflectors, and amateur
stagehands worked the curtains.
BARELY Proper" IS work from
the pen of Tom Gushing, who
feels that probably his brainchild
will never see the light of Broad
way.
The plot concerns a proper and
fully dressed young BritiSher
whose fiancee, a German girl.
brings him to visit her home
before she informs him that her
family are members of nudist
colony.
Has Happy Ending
When his fiancee demands for
the sake of their love that he dis
card his horrid clothes and his
horrid thoughts all at once, there
is a high dramatic climax.

(Secretary of Labor
Distributed by Universal Service.

Distributed by Universal Service.
We are called upon to observe
Labor Day in a more thoughtful
and serious spirit perhaps than
in any of the 46 years in which
it has been holiday.
Never in all that time have we
been faced by a condition calling
for such united efforts by wage
earners, employers and consumers
to help in solving the problems
which have been so pressing in
the last few years. Only by con-
certed action can we rout the
forces which have brought want,
despair and misery to so many
homes.
To Support NRA
If we will all, on this day, make
up our minds to do everything
individually possible to build up
the purchasing power Of the ma
ton to balance our great produc-
ing power, then Labor Day Of
1888 should mark a turn toward
better times and usher in a new
era for the country'S wage
earners, salaried workers and en-
ployers. In other words, let us
give the National Recovery Ad-
ministration our whole-hearted
support, for it's objective is to in
crease buying power so as to fur
nish more jobs at better wages.
If and when it accompliShes this
purpose. we should all reap bene-

Repeal in Texas
To Give Value
To Grapes

DALLAS - The mustange
grape has come into its own.
For years this purple grape, as
large as the Concord, has
grown wild in many parts of
Texas, but only thrifty house
wives have bothered with it,
turning its hulls into preserves
and its juice into jelly.
Some quality of the hulls that
"takes the roof off your mouth"
if the grape is eaten raw, keeps
it from being a table delicacy.
It's wine-making qualities have
long been known, but what mar
ket would there be for wine in
dry Texas?
Now, however, with repeal
close at hand, wine-drinkers
seem to be getting anxious.
They have created a demand
for the grape and have given it
a commercial value for the first
time.

F AIMED COUNTER

Another old landmark familiar
to hundreds of thous ands of
Washingtonians has felt the ak
of things modern and has joined
the limbo of forgotten things.
1t is the old walnut counter in

Washington Gas Light Company
which has been replaced in the
company's program of renovizing
the plant.
Hundreds of thousands of Wash

ness over the old counter which
has played an important part in
the growth of the plant during
the last half century. The main
business office is now redecorated,
it's walls having a soft shade of

Clerks Convention Hears Hot
Words From Leader About
Federal "SWeatshop"
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Il
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 4
Laying down a barrage of explo-
Sive accusations against Federal
officials for "tWo-faced" dealings
with the American people, Luther
c. Steward president of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, today hurled into the ma
tional convention here bitter
charges of governmental incon-
SiStency.
The attack on the Governments
policy of seeking higher wages in
private industry while paying its
own employees greatly reduced sal
aries was made when Steward
opened the convention and sub
mitted his biennial report.
"SweatshOp" Charged
Interrupted many times by
cheers and applause, he hurled
charge after charge against the
Government for it's treatment OF
employees, saying:
"The Federal Government is
practicing upon its own en-
plOyeS the very sweatShOp meth.
OdS it has aSSailed in private
industry. 1t has undertaken to
prevent private employers from
victimizing their employees, yet
It has taken away by admins
trative action from its own
workers the Saturday half-hOli'
days granted them by legisla-
tiOn.
"Only strength Of character
and devotion to duty have pre-.
vented the morale Of Federal
workers from being completely
shattered"
Reviewing economy" legisla.
tion, Steward bitterly blamed
selfish and short7sighted" indi-
viduals occupying positions where
their views carried more Welgnt
than they deserved.
A. F. of L. ASsailed
He also flayed the American
Federation of Labor for its first
action in "betraying" an affiliated
organization at the 1881 Van
couver convention by going on
record against classification and
for attempting to destroy the Ma
tional Federation by boring
from within"
He further charged it with sub
sidizing union whose sole pur-
pose is to attempt to inflict dam
age upon the National Federation
Of Federal Employees"
This attempt has been, he de-
clared, completely and abjectly
unsuccessful"
McCarI Attacked
Steward next assailed a Gov
eminent official delegates readily
identified as Comptroller General
John B. McCarl, charging that
statements had been issued, pub
icized, and in some cases in only
a few hours, been refuted.
Orders were issued only to be
countermanded, he said, altered
or postponed, resulting in a state
Of near-panic for Federal en-
ployeS.
In concluding his report the
president warned that reaffilia-
ton with the Federation of La
Dor will be possible only by dis
banding the employees federation
and joining the rump group in
dividually on the latter's terms.
With a large representation Of
Washington men and women
and delegates from approx
mately 500 union branches Of
the Federation in attendance,
the convention is faced with
numerous problems.
