LABOR BOARD
Asked to Bar Codes Which
Bring Strikes

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Inter-
vention of the National Labor Board
to prevent the drawing of NRA codes
which are so unjust to the workers
as to cause strikes is asked by the
international Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers in letter to the
boards chairman, Senator Robert F.
Wagner.
The letter, signed by International
President d. w. Tracy and Interna-
tional Secretary G. M. Bugniazat. of
the union, says:
eve are aware that the purpose of
the National Labor Board is to apply
the rule of reason to industrial ills,
especially those that take form as
strike protests. It's function in refer
ence to NRA is patent. Yet it ap-
pears to US that to allow codes to be
drawn that are on their face unfair,
inequitable and unjust to workers,
and then to seek to head off strikes
which these very codes induce, is
hardly an application of the rule of
reason codes which are destined
to goad large group of otherwise
patent, orderly, and intelligent work
ers to strike are menace -.
eve refer to impending codes for
the building construction industry, in
particular the code of fair competi-
ton for the electrical contracting
division.
eve have repeatedly protested fea-
lures of this code. We have mar
shalled facts, figures and principles,
and we have warned that if the pro-
posed minimum wage rate of go cents
an hour, and certain other features of
this proposed code were actually in
stituted, only one result could be ex-
pected: namely, wholesale strikes.
Please allow US to enumerate certain
features of this proposed code:
81 A minimum wage of from $18
to $24 a week for 'the finest crafts
men in the world the same men who
made from $50 to $75 week in 1929.
"2. A shady clause that will be
used by unscrupulous employers to
break building trades unions.
"3. Clauses that set premium
upon the anti-social employer, and
which will penalize the fair employer
who has always paid good wages, and
granted good conditions.
eve. urgently request the interven-
ton of the National Labor Board at
this time, on the ground it is better
to prevent strikes than to try to ad-
just them. after incensed workers
walk out in protest against intoler-
able and impossible regulations.

Puerto RicOn Workers
Progressing, AFL Says

Much satisfaction with the progress
made by the workers of Puerto Rico,
in organization and social and labor
legislation, was expressed by the 1888
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. "The development of
the people Of Puerto Rico as reflect
ed in the recent legislation passed
speaks we'll for the people of that
island" the convention added.
The convention praised Governor
Gore, of Puerto Rico, saying:
The new governor, Hon. Robert H.
Gore, who was installed on July first,
has enlisted the sympathy and good
will of the citizens of the island and
especially those in the organized la
Dor movement.
"His inaugural address contained
many promises of assistance for the
mass of people in the form of new
legislation. 1t is to be hoped that he
will speedily place his proposals be-
for the insular legislature and give
sympathetic consideration to the
problems of labor and carry out the
promises made in his inaugural ad-
dress"

Employees Get Writ Enjoining
Big Public Utility Company
New York Edison, Accused Of Violating Presidents Re-
Employment Agreement is Forbidden by Federal
Court to Interfere With Right of Workers to
Organize.

New York City (ILNS)-A tempo
rary injunction restraining the big
New York Edison Company from
interfering with the right of its en-
ployes to organize under the collective
bargaining section of the national re-
covery act was issued by Federal
Judge Robert P. Patterson.
The injunction was obtained by the
Brotherhood of Edison Employees, an
Independent labor organization. The
injunction upheld the right of the
brotherhood to organize the $4,000
employees of the Edison Company and
restrained the activities of the Asso-
citation of Employees of the New Edi-
son Company, characterized as a
company union"
In its complaint, the Brotherhood
of Edison Employees accused the Edi-
son Company of engaging in con-
spiracy with John H. McNulty, head
of the company union" to violate
the terms of the presidents re-em-
ployment agreement.
The brotherhood alleges the COM
pany and its officials were about to
"intimidate, influence and coerce"
their employees into accepting COM
pany union plan contrary to the
NRA.

company signed on August l, gives

Assails Code Wages

Assails Code Wages
Concerning wage provisions for
common labor in the code which range
from 27 cents to 40 cents per hour
Morrln said proposal of such rates of
pay for adult workers "by one of our
most basic and profitable industries
would leave the country without hope
for "a better economic system" He
said proposal of such low wage
standards Clearly demonstrates that
an entire change of plans and poll
cies should be formulated by the re-
covery administration. These plans
should include shortening of hours,
increase in wages, control of pro-
duction and prices, he said
President William Green, of the A.
F. of L., characterized the code as
Jumping under uniform provisions
two distinct and separate branches of
the industry-the fabrication and
erection of products" He said hours
of work in industry are now less than
those proposed in code and that sc
per cent of the workers are unem-
ployed. Hours proposed in the code
are an average of 40 over any six
months period, 48 maximum per
week, 6 days per week.
Walsh Attacks Code
Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the
union, said it was not very difficult to
find the "bug under the chip" in the
steel industry and described interests
of fabricating steel plants in erection.
He recounted several instances of at
tempts by steel companies to force
union men out of plants.
Summing up his brief Walsh said
"the adoption of such code as this
would be to give the steel interests
complete control of the erecting busi-
ness as soon as they choose to exer-
else their powers. And, under the re-
covery act, with its provision that the
antitrust laws shall cease to oper.
ate as soon as code is approved
there would be no reason why this
power should not be exercised in full.

WEAVERS WIN
Higher Wages to End Strike
In Eastern Mills

Washington.-Labor's fight to re-
wise fair practice codes for higher
wages won its first point when the
National Labor Board decided that
striking silk workers in Paterson,
N. j., and various towns in Pennsyl-
vania and New England return to
work Immediately at piece work rates
averaging S25 for a 40-hour week.
The decision affects between 10000
and $4,000 workers who have been
striking for an agreement whereby
they would be guaranteed fixed wages
in the codes.
Opposition of Mill Owners
Chairman Robert F Wagner, of the
Labor Board, said he had reports that
in some Southern communities weav-
ers have been receiving as low as
$14 week.
He and NRA officials have been
striving to increase the wage to $25
in plants affected by the strikes, but
were handicapped by the refusal of
the mill owners to pay that wage un-
less they were protected against un-
affected mills paying less.
According to the decision the strik-
ers will be reinstated without dis
elimination, weavers' rates will be
fixed so that they will average $25
a week, and the rates of wages of
other workers will be fairly adjust
ed" to those of the weavers.
Mr.. Wagner said the rates would
probably be written into the codes and
that it would be necessary for the
NRA to help raise the pay to the fig
ure agreed upon during the boards
arbitration proceedings.
What is the NRA for" he said, "if
it is not to eliminate the inequities
and raise wages to meet American
standards ?"

Silk Strikers Ask
Higher Minimum Pay

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Strik-
ing silk workers from Paterson, N. J.
and other silk centers told the Ma
tional Labor Board that minimum
wage provisions for weavers under
the silk code are too low and asked
revision of the rate from $22 to $27
They said that the industry can solve
other matters at issue if the weaver
pay provisions are changed.
The workers were mostly members
of the Silk Workers Union, affiliated
with the American Federation OF
Labor.
The action of the workers was the
first time since the national recovery
administration began functioning
that labor has asked upward revision
of minimum wage provisions of key
industry.

New Orleans (ILNS)-A resolution

vided in the code, higher wage

llshments- as exemplified by the
United States Steel Corporation and
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation-the
steel fabricating and erection indus
tries must be segregated into separ.
ate codes. This vital fact, like the
old rule of evidence under Roman
law, speaks for itself and requires no
argument"
Separate codes for the fabricatinp
and erection divisions were demanded
by Morrin who said such action is
necessary if the public works admin
istration and NRA are not to be
brought into direct conflict. The
building trades department of the A.
F. of L. has entered into an agree
ment with the public works admins
tration covering wages and hours and
providing for standards on steel erec-

struction. He recommended adoption
