General Workers Union
Adds 10000 Members

London, England.-The National
Union of General and Municipal
Workers increased its membership by
10000 during the first nine months
of this year, over 10000 new members
having joined during the September
quarter, according to an announce
ment by the general council of the
union. Dues paid increased 5000
pounds over the June quarter, while
the reserves were increased by 5000
pounds and now stands at $4,000
pounds.
Will Thorne, secretary of the union
said the membership figures are "the
strongest evidence that an extraor-
dinary revival of trade unionism is
taking place"

New York City (ILNS)-Continu-
ance of relief work by private agen-
cies is absolutely imperative to pre-
vent dire suffering this winter, Sen
ator Robert F. Wagner declared in
a message to James G. Blaine, chair
man of the citizens family welfare
committee.
Despite the relief efforts of the
government, there will be 100000
persons idle when 1884 comes, Sena-
tor Wagner said He added that
federal relief appropriations are in
adequate to care for these millions
and urged generous private relief
funds to supplement public aid.
The only federal funds to care for
the 100000 which he said would be
jobless are the '1ess than $1OO,000,-
900 remaining in the hands of the
federal emergency relief admins
tration, and about half this amount
with the surplus relief corporation"
Senator Wagner wrote
Private Aid Urged
If this entire amount were spent
over period of only two months, he
added, "it means only so cents day
for each unemployed family of five
people in the United States" 1t is
therefore up to private welfare
groups, financed by voluntary contri-
buttons, he said, to bear great part
of the burden.
Senator Wagner explained that
everyone knows the work being done
by public agencies. The scope of the
various governmental plans has been
"dramatized in the press and on the
air." he said, and all parts of the
country have "felt the miracles of
their execution"
"In March 100000 persons were
out of work." Senator Wagner said.
"Of these 100000 have been re-
engaged due to the stimulation and
reorganization of industry under the
guidance Of the recovery act. The
public construction program has alb
sorbed another million, and should
double this accomplishment within a
few months. The recently created
civil work administration repre-
setnts complete recognition of the
right not only to live, but also to live
by an honest days work and to earn
a comfortable wage. 1t provided for
over LOO, 900 people during the first
week of it's existence, and shows every
indication of reaching the established
goal of 100000 by January /.
Hopes for Results by Spring
"By next spring, when the funds of
all these agencies will have been ex-
hausted, we trust that the impetus

OF labor to organize and bargain col
lectively, free from all restraint and
interference of employers. This
right, stated in the famous Section 7
(a) OF the act, gave a great impetus
to organization of the workers, re-
sulting in the addition of many thou
sands of new members to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Organiza-
tion is still going on at rapid rate,
and 1884 is expected to see the A. F.
OF l.. reach record membership.
Labor Loyalty Supports Act
Labor, though not entirely salts
fed with the recovery act, gave it
loyal and answering support from
the beginning, and has been a great
factor in its success. Labor has in
sisted the act must be upheld and has
been big force in preventing it's vio-
lation. Great strides were made in
bringing all industry under the MIRA
codes, and 1884 finds the act the DOM
mating influence in the American
business and industrial scene.
The recovery act was hailed as
marking new policy and outlook in
American life, opening the way to
higher standards of life for the
masses and spelling new deal" for
the entire nation. The intent of the
act was stated by congress to be "to
provide for the general welfare by
promoting the organization of indus
try for the purpose of cooperative
action among trade groups, to induce
and maintain united action of labor
and management under adequate gov
ermental sanctions and supervision,
to eliminate unfair competitive prac-
tees, to promote the fullest possible
utilization of the present productive
capacity of industries, to avoid un-
dues restriction of production Except
as may be temporarily required), to
increase the consumption of industrial
and agricultural products by increas-
ing purchasing power, to reduce and
relieve unemployment, to improve
standards of labor, and otherwise to
rehabilitate industry and to conserve
natural resources"
In October came the great conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor in Washington, of vital inter-
est to all organized workers. The
convention accomplished much effec-
tive work, placing itself squarely be-
hind every sound effort to better the
condition of labor. President William
Green and all officers were reelected
by unanimous vote.
The 30-hour week was set as the
goal for immediate attainment fol
all industry, the convention declar-
ing that if the MIRA does not bring
about employment through the
operation of codes reducing hours
and increasing wares, bill provid-
ing for a compulsory S0-hour maxi
mum work week will be introduced
in congress this winter.
AS means of improving the oper-
alton of the recovery act, and extend
ing full cooperation, the convention
demanded inclusion of labor repre-
sentatives on all recovery act boards
and agencies, whether national, state
or local. Following the convention
the A. F. of L. pressed the fight for

y. S. Took Heart and Began
Great Recovery Fight
Under National Legislative Program Enacted in War On
Hard Times" Labor Starts Forward March Toward
Greater Power.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
year 1888 was of epochal Importance
to all American labor.
Outstanding above all else was the
beginning of the first determined ma
tional effort, backed by virtually
unanimous public sentiment, to cope
with the four-year-old depression and
bring recovery. The national indus
trial recovery act was the spearhead
of the attack. Other legislation was
of tremendous but secondary impor-
tance.
When President Roosevelt took
office on March a, the nation was in
the depths. Unemployment had in
creased to unprecedented proportions,
with 25 per cent of the population on
relief rolls. Fourteen million or more
persons were jobless and desperate.
The Roosevelt administration tackled
the situation with a speed and vigor
hardly dreamed possible, and in a
short time the psychology of the ma
ton was changed from despair to
hope. The long fight for recovery was
begun.
Banking Collapse Prevented
First move was the closing of the
banks by presidential order, prevent
ing complete collapse of the banking
system and stopping the spread of
what might have become uncontroll-
able panic. At the end of the bank
ing holiday, a majority of the banks
were permitted to open for business.
Many found unable to meet the re-
quirements of sound banking practice
were placed in the hands of treasury
department conservators, for orderly
salvage in cases where they could
not be reopened. Since then, thou
sands of closed banks have been open
ed and great sums of money released
for circulation. Liquidation of banks
in the hands of receivers has pro-
ceeded, with depositors getting SUBJ
stantial part of the money in many
cases through government loans made
to the banks of "frozen" assets.
Modification of the Volstead act to
permit the manufacture and sale of
beer, long advocated by organized la
Dor, was one of the first pieces of
recovery legislation passed by con-
gress. In record time, the bill modi-
flying the act was put through and the
breweries reopened, giving employ
! to hundreds of thousands of men in
more than a score of trades and in
dustries.
Another important piece Of recov-
cry legislation was the act establish
ing the Civilian Conservation Corps,
taking 100000 unemployed young
men off the streets and putting them
to work at reforestation and other
conservation projects.
MIRA Comes Next
The all-important MIRA soon fol-
lowed, resulting in large scale re-
employment, estimated at 100000,
higher wages and shorter hours for
millions and great increase in nation
al purchasing power. In addition, the
act largely abolished child labor, ban
ished the sweatshop and brought
other important gains.
For organized labor, one Nof the
biggest gains from the MIRA was
it's recognition Of the absolute right

promise of more even prosperity for
the next decade.
Miss Perkins said that great gains
had been made in putting men and
women back to work since last March,
the low point in the depression. "By
shortening hours millions have been
put to work on the present scale Of
production" she said. "By setting as
a minimum a living wage, bottom
has been put in the suicidal fall OF
prices. BY combination Of these
two, two billion dollar wage earn
ers' market has been built up in the
United States in six months. By
putting men at public works on Q
So 300, 100000 program industry lis
being stimulated along many lines
with work widely spread. By ade-
quate provisions for relief those in
need are being taken care of. By the
ingenuity of CWA men and women
are being taken off the relief rolls
and are again working for wages. By
housing construction the plans are be-
ing laid to revive the building trades.
"The building trades will benefit
greatly from this phase of planned
recovery. The resumption Of con-
struction will put thousands of
bricklayers, masons, plasterers,
painters, carpenters, plumbers, and
other skilled craftsmen back to work
at good wages. The railroads will
benefit directly through this for they
will carry more freight and passen-
gers. They, in turn, will buy more
equipment and improve their shops
and roadbeds,, joining the cycle that
should spell improvement for their
workers"
