LABELS
To Show Quality Urged For
Garment Trade

New York City ILNS)-Agree-
ment to form committee to devise
a tag or label to mark garments
made under good conditions, was
reached at meeting here of repre-
sentatives of several organizations.
The meeting was called by the Wom-
ems Trade Union League.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt endors-
ed the proposal, saying that all IN
telligent employers know that the
greatest market for their products
was among working people and that
if wages were too low, they would
lose their chief market. She said the
public must be educated to the nee
essity of demanding products made
under fair wage and working condi-
tions, and advocated publicity and
advertising campaign to make known
the facts.
Mary Anderson, chief of the Wom-
ems Bureau of the United States De-
partment of Labor, emphasized the
need for building up minimum wage
standards before the label campaign
was undertaken. He said that to push
the label program now would be IN
effective because of the cut-throat
competition of employers which is
steadily driving wages downward.
David Dubinsky, president of the
international Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, said that the average
earnings of workers in the needle
trades was below the minimum OF sub
sistence. and that unless this move
ment was checked there would be a
return to the insanitary sweatshor
of twenty-five years ago.

BREWERY STRIKE
First Since Coming of Beer
Closes Big Plant

Newark, N. J. (ILNS)-The Gott-
fried Kreuger Brewery Company's
plant here was closed by the first
strike of brewery workers in the
United States since beer became legal
A strike of machinists, followed by
walkout of firemen and engineers,
tied up the brewery, said to be one
of the largest in the East.
When the union agreement expired
the brewery asked for 25 per cent
reduction, which was refused by the
workers. The management then ar
bitrarily cut wages Is per cent, which
caused the strike. About 700 men
were made idle by the walkout.

Measure Faces Delay in
House, Rainey Indicates

"Outstandng Achievement in Fight on UnempIoy-
ment.
ment.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Hailed
by labor as an Outstanding achieve
men" and "blow at the vital spot
of unemployment" the Black 30-hour
week bill was passed in the senate
by vote of So to 80.
The bill would limit employment to
not more than six hours a day and
not more than five days week in
"any mine, quarry, mill cannery,
workshop, factor Or manufacturing
establishment" The senate amended
the measure to provide number of
exemptions.
Action in the house on the Black
bill is not expected at once, as
Speaker Rainey said it would not be
considered until emergency legislation
recommended by President Roosevelt
had been taken up. A similar bill
has been favorably reported by the
house labor committee.
Zine Thing" Green Says
Pleased by the passing of the bill
in the senate by large majority,
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, said:
"The senate of the United States
did very fine thing when it rejected
proposal to change the Black shorter
work week bill from a 30-hour to q
36-hour work week measure. 1t die
finer thing when by decisive ma
iority it passed the Black bill which
provides for five-day work week
six-hour work day law, which applies
to those employers of labor whose
manufactured goods are shipped IL
interstate commerce.
"This action of the senate can BIZ
properly interpreted as blow at the
vital spot of unemployment. In oper.
alton it will create work opportun
tiles for millions of idle working mer
and women. 1t represents the first
real practical step on the part of the
government to constructively dea
with the problem of unemployment
Labor regards the passage of the
Black bill by the United States sen
ate as an outstanding achievement.

FEWER TEACHERS
Now Handle More Pupils
in Pennsylvania

Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS)-Due to
the depression and the consequent
demand for Economy" Pennsylvania
has approximately 700 fewer public
school teachers this year than last,
the department of public instruction
reports. The drop is the direct result
of action by local school boards IN
not filing vacancies and the merging
of classes and buildings. In some dis
tricts supervisors have been returned
to teaching position to fill vacancies.
DR.. James N. Rule, state superin-
tendent, says the reduced teaching
staff is caring for record high en-
rollment of pupils and in many schools
the teachers are carrying much
heavier load than they should This
is condition that organized labor
has frequently warned against.
Needless reduction of teaching
stats is poor economy for commu-
nifty these days." DR.. Rule pointed out.
thousands of teachers not only are
helping friends and relatives through
the emergency, but they are feeding
and clothing countless numbers OF
children who otherwise could not at
tend school. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that teachers Of this state
last year spent $20,0O0,0O0 of their
own money for welfare work and in
addition supplied half million articles
of clothing.
"Half of the teachers report hav-
ing provided 86,OOO,O0O meals for
children at an average cost of eight
cents each. Certainly the teacher is
an asset to the entire community

The way the school election went was
so obviously the only way out of the finan-
cial mess the district is in that we wonder
at the few votes which were registered the
other way. Drastic reductions in transporta-
ton supplies or term of school were the only
alternatives, none of which would find favor
with a majority of the patrons of the dis
trict. The most bitter opponent of the propo-
sition cannot find the excuse, in light of the
large number of votes cast that the project
is not in accord with the wishes of the dis
trict. The refunding plan will benefit the
district we think in more ways than the
mere matter of saving money. The know
ledge, for instance, that the teachers war;
rants will be cashable, will result in increased
efficiency, no doubt. We congratulate the
patrons of School District No. IL on their
stand as shown by the vote in Mondays
election.

THIS IS AIMED AT YOU, ENNUI


Strange as it seems, there appears to be
q decided ennui towards accepting little
real coin of the realm among Kennewick
folks.
The Courier Reporter last week an
nounced an extraordinary campaign in
which every participant is assured large
sums Of cash in prizes or commissions for
just little of their spare time Some few
local citizens, endowed with some real am
bition and initiative, realized Immediately
that here at last, was that opportunity"
that so many have been longing for since Old
Man Depression got the country in his grip.
Others sighed, gave another extra long
yawn, muttered something like there must
be catch to it" mentally decided that their
enforced depression vacations from work
were much easier on the energy, and hoped
to high heaven that no job would ever catch
up with them.
And so, today, The Courier-Reporter's
outstanding offer, guaranteeing every par
ticipant real cash for just as little or as much
Of his spare time as he wishes to use, is still
awaiting some claimants.
True, there are some who have already
decided that a local institution, twice winner
Of The Seattle Times trophy for outstanding
makeup among more than 200 newspapers in
the state, which makes such an offer, must
be sincere in its aim to distribute large cash
sums among local citizens who are willing to
use their spare time to earn their share.
But there are still many circles, neigh
borhoods and communities served by The
CourierRepo which have not yet offered
up wide-awake candidate. Can it be that

Kennewick folks actually are so comfortably
fixed financially speaking, that these large
cash sums do not appeal to them? We would
be wonderfully pleased if we could really be-
lieve that this is so ~. but, well, we have
our doubts
So far our offer seems to have hit more
or less Of stone wall, entitled that afore-
mentioned financial "ennui.''
And so, here's little bombshell that we
hope will tear down that barrier and awaken
few Industrious folks to the exceptional
opportunity that can be theirs
The Courier Reporter will pay $4,000 to
the local person who gets in and secures the
most new subscriptions during this next
week only-and this in addition to whatever
other cash prize or commission he must win
by SO participating. Is that an offer or
is it?
This is our challenge to folks to make
some profitable use of their spare time.
Sponsored by the Washington Press As
ISOLATION of which we are member, this
campaign is fair, impartial and worthwhile.
Can you honestly think of a reason why
you should not make the most of this offer?
If $4,000 in cash doesn't appeal to you
S. well, we'd like to meet you, Mr.. Missing
Link!

BERLIN. May l1.-Only the ashes
remained today of thousands of books
by German and foreign authors. Amer
leans included, which burned on pyres
throughout the country last night.
The works Of such Americans as
Jack London, Franz Boas and Helen
Keller we're among the literature con-
demned as contrary to the new Ger

by the cartload by students.

the books, you had the duty to support

bells, Nazi minister of public enlight-
enment, in blessing the blaze on Opera
Square in Berlin.
THE fire signals to the entire world
that the November revolutionaries have
sunk to earth and a new spirit has
arisen" he said. This reference was
to the Marxists who led the German
revolution of 1918.
The period of Jewish intellectual
ism now has ended" Goebels added.

in Berlin. 1t began to fall as students
were trucking the collected books to
