sarily organized, the result has been
that while no discrimination was ex-
exercised against organized labor the
operation of the plan has undoubtedly
prevented organized labor from par
ticipation in the benefits of the civil
works administration to as great ex-
tent, proportionate to its membership
as has unorganized labor.
"It is, therefore, the declared policy
of the civil works administration that
wherever possible personnel needed
for replacement of workers on civil
works administration projects shall
be secured through recognized union
locals where such exist, in such num-
bers as will be just and fair. Local
civil works administrators are hereby
directed to follow the policy herein

WOLL EMPHASIZES
Vital Importance of Home
Market

New York City (ILNS)-In radio
address stressing the overwhelming
Importance of the home market, Mat
thew Woll, president of America s
Wage Farmers Protective Conference
and vice president of the American
Federation Of Labor, declared that
regardless of how advantages and
disadvantages are balanced, the
"fact remains that the foreign mar
ket is not SO desirable as the home
market-either for capital or for la
bor."
what the nation needs and is be-
ginning to know it needs" he declar-
ed, "is not great economic depend
ence upon the foreign market, but
exactly the opposite-greater econ
nomic independence"
Advocating proper tariff protection
for American industry, Mr.. Woll said:
I'm hundreds of thousands of in
stances the question of tariff rates
means employment or unemployment
to American industrial workers. Raise
tariff rates in certain commodities
and you make possible continued en-
ployment and the maintenance of
proper standards of living. Lower
rates and the reverse is true.

STEEL WORKERS
Win Strike For Rights I'm
der NRA

Dover, Ohio.-Twelve hundred en-
ployes of the Greer Steel Company
and the Reeves Manufacturing Com
pany here voted to end the strike
against both concerns on the an
nouncement by the officials of the
two companies that they would en-
ploy all former employees without pre-
judice or discrimination and bargain
collectively with representatives of
the workers in accordance with Sec
ton IA of the national industrial
recovery act.
The company officials also agreed
to meet with any official of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers who may be chosen
by the employees to represent them,
and promised to cease interfering with
the right of the workers to unionize
the plants.
No wage dispute was involved in
the controversy. Locals Of the Anal
gamated Association were organized
here last summer. Officers of the
unions alleged that company officials
repeatedly attempted to prevent their
employees from organizing and dis
charged large number of workmen
on account of their union activities.
Finally union officers, accompanied
by Organizer John McKeown asked
the officials of both companies to re-
instate the discharged men. This re-
quest was refused. The local unions
then declared a strike and picketed
both plants, permitting none to en-
ter except foremen and office workers
who were given passes to get through
the "lines."
City officials requested the inter
vention of the Cancellation Bureau of
the u. S. Department of Labor,
which sent Fred Keightly and Rob-
ert Fox here to effect settlement.
After a number of conferences Off
cials of both companies agreed to re-
employ all discharged employees, stop
interfering with the workers right
to organize, and to meet with the duly
elected representatives of the en-
ployes.
The strike was settled in less than
week.

EICHT-HOUR DAY

New York.-The Board of Estimate
branch Of the municipal assembly
passed the bill, previously adopted by
the Board of Aldermen, providing an
eight-hour day for city firemen, be-
ginning on January 1, 1886.
Vincent j. Kane, president of the
Uniformed Firemen's Association
affiliated with the international AS
sociation of Fire Fighters, declared
that the change could be accomplished
for as little as 100000 at the begin
ming. The citizens budget commits
sion, which opposed the BILL estimat-
ed that it would make necessary the
addition of 5000 firemen and comput-
ed the increased cost at $7,500,000 for
the first year.
Under the law the mayor is requir-
ed to hold public hearing before de-
Gliding whether to sign the measure
Mayor LaGuardia's signature, how.
ever, is regarded as certain. During
his campaign for mayor he said he
favored an eight-hour day for fire
men, which he believed was in accord
ance with principles of the NRA.
The bill had the firm support of
the American Federation of Labor
During the 1888 convention of the
federation, the New York Uniformed
Firemen's Association presented Will
liam Green, president of the A. F. of
L., with a handsome tie clasp in rec
ognition OF his work for the fire
fighters of New York city in their
efforts to secure the shorter work

sociation.

Labor Disturbed, He SAYS

For these reasons great uneasi-
ness prevails among hundreds of
thousands of our industrial workers
who are unable to understand the un-
due stress which is being laid upon
the value of export trade" The
speaker referred to the proposal of
the state department and importing
groups that the United States enter
into reciprocal trade treaties with
foreign countries and said:
Labor is apprehensive and greatly
disturbed lest authorization be given
to agents of the federal government
to enter into reciprocal trade treaties
with foreign governmnts, and, as an
incentive to foreign nations, reduce
or enable the reduction of our present
tariff duties by SO per cent without
further action either on the part of
the congress or the tariff commits
sion"
American valuation Favored
American labor" he continued,
"favors tariff policy where in i'm
ports will be valued on the basis of
the value of the imported article in
the United States-a policy better
known as the American valuation
and not upon the deprecated or ma
nipulated values of foreign countries
CAS- against all these urgencies for
increased export trade, reciprocal
trade treaties and other devices urged
to that end, Americas wage earners
raise the more important issue of en-
larging our domestic purchasing
power and of increasing and protect
ing our home markets." he added.
