MISSOULA COUNTY
TRADES
AND B COUNCIL

The following resolution pertaining
to Building Trades Crafts was unani-
mously carried at the Special Conven-
ton of Montana State Federation of
Labor, held at Helena, Mont, Aug.
81 to 20 inclusive.
Recommendations for wage scales
and working conditions were pre-
sented by the State Council of Car
p~enters and by the Building Trades
Council of Great Falls.
The Building Trades delegates had
a meeting of their own on the even
ing of Aug. 81, and at this meeting
several suggestions were made in adj
dition to those contained in the two
resolutions mentioned. By motion
carried, the chairman was instructed
to appoint a committee of seven to
draw up a resolution e%mbodying the
several suggestions agreed upon, and
the committee was especially instruct
ed to declare for the six-hour day
and thirty-hour week, and to ascer-
tain what were the highest wage
scales for the several crafts on July
18th, 1929, and to use such scales for
the proposed code.
The committee reported on the next
day as follows:
Resolution.
Whereas, The Federal Government
has taken cOgnizance Of the emer-
.gency now existing through unemploy-
ment, and
Whereas, An emergency relief meas
ure has been enacted, commonly known
as the National Industrial Recovery
Act, which purpose is to bring about
unemployment and reviving of the
purchasing power of the population Of
United States of America, and
Whereas, The Building Trades
Craftsmen have especially suffered
through unemployment and depletion
of purchasing power, and
Whereas, A concerted effort is be-
ing put forth to relieve this unemploy-
ment situation in the building indus
try by lowering the number of hours
in a work day and work week and es-
tablishing for such work a living scale
of wages,
Now Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED,
by the Montana State Federation Of
Labor in Convention Assembled:
Montana labor news., 1933-09-07

and recommended that on construc-
ton jobs in value of $4,000, or above,
the establishment of more than one
shift per day be approved, but that
such shifts be made continuous with
a maximum of one hour intermission
for lunch, and that there be no work
permitted on Saturday and Sundays or
Legal Holidays, but in the event ex-
IRENE contingencies may arise where
by it becomes necessary to work some
employees more than the above men,
toned maximum hours per day or on
Saturdays, Sundays and Legal Holt
days, there must be paid at least time
and one-half for such overtime work.
4th. That copies of this resolution
be sent to the International Officers
of the several building craft unions
and to the National Officers Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
to Gen. Hugh Johnson and that the
Officers Of the International Unions
and American Federation Of Labor be
respectfully requested to use their
best efforts in bringing to the atten-
ton of the Administrator of the N. r,
A. the exceptionally high cost of liv-
ing in Montana as compared to other
states in the northern part of the
United States, making it desirious and
necessary that the above scales should
be established on all building work in
Montana in order that the purpose of
the N. R. A. be not defeated through
establishment of a lower wage scale.

HOME LOAN ACT
is NO HELP TO
HOME OWNERS
(By M STEELE.)

CLEVELAND-(FP) = Thousands
of small home-owners jammed the
Cleveland office of the Home Owners
Loan Corp. when it was opened but
they are discovering that few Of them
will receive help.
First, many of the home owners
mortgages are held by insurance COM
panies, which have refused to accept
the bonds of the corporation in return
for the mortgages. Also, many mort
cages are held by the defunct Union
Trust and Guardian Trust companies
and the government officials who are
liquidating them have not indicated
whether or not they will take the
bonds. 1t is rather probable that they
won't since the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. headquarters has stated
that it won't accept such bonds.
Second, since many of the small
home owners are unemployed and de-
pendent on the Associated Charities
for their food it is impossible for them
to scrape up the So necessary to Sc
cure an appraisal after their applica-
ton has been accepted by the local
office.
If the home owner is fortunate
enough to have his application ac-
cepted and can pay the appraisal fee
he can only secure aid to the extent
of 80 per cent of the appraised value
or so per cent or 40 per cent, de-
pending on which category his appli-
cation is in. Most of these home own
ers who need help bought their places
at the inflated prices of five to 10
years ago and had but little paid when
the boom broke. The appraised value
of the property is to be determined
by averaging the contract price of the
property, its rental value in the in
tervening years, and its present value.
This will obviously be far below the
contract price and certainly insuffi-
cient to cover most mortgages now in
default or in danger of becoming so.
For example, suppose a worker
bought a house in 1929 at $500, paid
$500 down and $40 a month. Let us
take the $40 a month as the rental
value (although this is actually far
too high and set the appraised value
today at $4,000, which is also a lib
eral estimate. This worker will have
paid in $2,720 by the end of 1893.

CHICAGO LABOR
LEADER MUIR
DERED
STRIKES ARE PREVALENT IN
CHICAGO AREA

CHICAG0-(FP)-The first muir
der Of a union official under the NRA
in Chicago was the tragic peak of a
week of industrial unrest in Chicago.
The needle, leather and piano trades
are on strike and police have been
busy with arrests while another of
the now familiar NRA injunctions has
been issued against workers striking
for a living wage and human condi-
tions.
The murdered unionist was John
Pippan, secretary Of the Italian Bread
Drivers League, which includes ltal-
ian bakery workers as well as drivers.
Overlapping on two jurisdictions of
craft unionism the league is not affil-
lated with the American Federation
of Labor. The Italian bakery bosses
are accused of hiring gangsters to kill
Pippan because the union demanded
minimum wages and shorter hours UNI
der NRA code provisions. Some of
the bakery workers had been toiling
20 to 80 hours a weekw, including
Sundays, for a wage of 81 to So a
week.
aas
The %murderers will be prosecuted.
Two gangsters have been tracked
down and the Cook County section of
the Continental Congress is aiding the
prosecution. Atty. Joseph Jacobs of
the congress declares that Pippan
"died a martyr to the principle that
a labor organization should be led by
labor and not by ~exploiters and rack
eteers."
While murder was the NRA high
point of the week, the beating up of
girls and men picketing for the mill
linery union of the A. F. of L. also put
in doubt the radio assertion of Pres.
Roosevelt assuring the workers that
the whole country is united to give
them their rights. International Or
ganizer Carolyn Wolfe reports over
1000 millinery workers out of the
shops, demanding that the wage
clauses Of the code be lived up to and
hat the preferential shop be enforced.
This means that no non-unionist should
be fired until all competent unem-
ployed union workers have been put
to work and that firing of workers
should be a matter for inquiry and
arbitration. The arrested pickets
were dubbed, booked and released on
bond.
HAA
Wages in the code shops of the mill
linery bosses are in some instances
$3.50 to 81 for a week of 35 hours.
The hours used to be up to 81 hours
before the code came in. At n shop
the police used tear gas to dispense
pickets, and seriously injured a woman
by clubbing her in the stomach. Judge
David did his part by issuing an in
junction against the strikers.
David's injunction is mild, however,
compared with the injunction against
