SYMPATHY STRIKERS

Trade unionism shows it's greatest
cooperation and solidarity when it
goes out as whole to protect the
rights of it's fellow workers.
Trade unionists have been severely
criticized because of workers who are
apparently content to go out on strike
with workers who have just griev-
ances to fight out with employers.
This shows the typical trade union
ism spirit. One union man is not
working for himself. He is working
for the rights of more than seven mil
lion union men. Their wrongs effect
him just as much as the workers who
are actually having to fight for their
rights.
Unions are not individual concerns.
They are made up of thousands Of
workers who are working co-operat-
lively for better working conditions.
Unions fight their battles in this CO.
operative sense Unions are compact
armies that are battling for decent
conditions.

organize themselves and affiliate with
the American Federation of Labor

SMALL BUSINESS AND
CHISELING

Much is said these days about the
aches and pains of little business men
under the NRA codes. Unquestion-
ably some of them are hard put, espe-
cially where the business is not on a
sound footing, and many of them are
deserving of consideration.
But some of the trouble arises also
in the fact that codes have raised a
barrier of kind against unrestricted
chiseling; in other words, against
wage smashing at will, lengthening
hours, employing children and resort
ing to any trade practice not prohib-
tied by the criminal code.
Some of these "little fellows" who
are crying loudest now that the shoe
pinches are the ones who led the way
two and three years ago in the relent-
less wage slashing that made the de-
preston more severe than it would
have otherwise been, broke up homes,
led to mortgage foreclosures, and by
pressure, started the victims down.

ance should be known. If they are
merely looking for latitude and free
dom to chisel, they are entitled to no
consideration whatever.

Barbering Youngest Art,
Oldest of Professions

Barbering is the Oldest Of the pro-
fessions and the youngest of the arts,
says correspondent In the Modern
Thinker 1t has seen many vicissi-
tudes. 1t was indirectly controlled by
church and state long before it fell
into the hands Of the more whimsical
decree Of fashion, or conficted In any
way with the laws Of sanitation.
It was an ancient craft before union
shops were thought of, and in some
Oriental countries the barber still plies
his trade by the roadside, or wherever
it Is convenient for his patrons to sit.
BARRIERS were our first surgeons, first
dentists and the first to make prac-
tical application Of the science Of
oralogy. Combined with these duties,
the barber was also a specialist In
phlebotomy (the operation Of blood
letting), and when under Henry VIII
the Company Of BARRIERS was incorpor-
ated with the Company of Surgeons.
the BARRIERS were still permitted to
draw teeth and to let blood, while the
surgeons were forbidden to do any
"barbery"

more essentially, the future program
must relate to rebuilding and i'm
provement of roads already paved.
Many Of them need to be rebuilt to
three and four lane widths; others
should be changed into dual high
ways. Most pressing of all is need for
by-passes that will divert through
traffic around towns and cities and
congested areas. There are new
bridges to be built and old bridges to
be strengthened, and railway and
highway grade crossings to be separ-
ated. This work will provide millions
of man-hours of labor in the future.
Most important of all is that high
way tax funds should not be diverted
to other governmental purposes.

their employers trouble. 1t has been
said that the aim of every union is to
call strikes.
This is far from true. A strike is
never called where employers treat
their workers fairly in that the un-
ions are recognized and collective
bargaining with employers and en-
ployes is part of the laws of the
firm. Strikes are not everyday oc-
currences with unions. They are used
only when arbitration and every other
possible means of peaceful settlement
has been resorted to and still fails.
Union will still continue to work as
a whole. They will continue to fight
the battles of the American working
man. There is nothing that can stop
this. They are formed for this pur-
pose-the right to work cooperative
ly and peacefully with employers and
employees.

LAW IN IT'S OWN RIGHT

The view of governmental legal
authorities that the resolution of the
last congress creating labor relations
boards also lifted Section Ia out of
the recovery act and made it law in
its own right, is quite the most i'm
portant development from the stand
point of workers interests since the
passage of the recovery act itself.
That this view is shared by such
learned and eminent jurists as Jus
tice Stacy, chairman of the Steel La
Dor Relations Board, is manifest in
the all-important rulings that have
been made recently.
A fundamental obstacle to progress
and final decision that has been faced
in the application of Section Ia has
been that it was an integral part of
the recovery act, and so regarded by
Gen. Johnson in his administration of
that law While the National Labor
Board was set up to deal with ques-
tions arising under this section. Gen.
Johnson as administrator of the
whole law, felt that such matters un-
der this section came within his ad-
ministrative province. His concern
was to preserve the essential nice
ties" and it was not strange, there
fore, that he should seek at all times
to change or overrule decisions of this
board, and to otherwise control or
nullify its actions and findings.
Removal of questions of employer
and employe relations from the realm
of administrative functions, and plac
ing them in judicial atmosphere of
their own, where sound and lasting
precedents may be developed and

When Pins Were 4 Luxury

Before the advent of that necessary
little contraption, the pin, skewers Of
silver, wood, and bone were used, and
very clumsy they must have been,
too. In 1543 when the common or
garden variety of pin was invented 1t
was considered luxury. and, although
it was intended for the upper classes,
all women became avid for it. Prepar-
ing for the day-there were certain
ones during the year-when the max
ers of pins sold their wares women
Of all degrees set aside coins they
called their "pin money" for the
event. Thus was born the phrase we
hear even to this day.

~ Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
O0 we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes nippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Donald Richberg has offered some
very fine testimony as to the effec-
tiveness of the New Deal. What
America wants is results in terms of
more human welfare.
The picture offered is good pic
ture-as far as it goes.
But lay your bets on this PROPOSE
ton: Unless there is more improve
ment by winter, this winter will be
worse than last winter for wage
earners.
A great many corporations have
got out Of the red, but there are mil
lions of workers further in than ever.
That's one of the reasons for
strikes.
There are too many indications that
a great section of corporate wealth is
standing with it's fat back to the wall
saying, mo further if we can help it,"
1t won't be long before some very
disappointing figures come out on
housing, unless all signs fail and un-
less advance dribblings of inormation
are all wrong.
The reason for this will be buried in
the private films of New York banks
and big business.
They will not be able to check this
fine program permanently, of course,
but they will make it necessary for
the government to step harder on
certain toes if there are to be results
in volumes.
Those who have felt that big bust
ness would not sacrifice people for
profits will yet come to the conclusion
that they have another guess coming.
They'll do it any time and gov
ernment has lately shown many signs
of knowing it very we'll and of being
prepared to meet the issue. Here's
hoping.
Textile Workers, Get Ready is the
title of a circular now being distrib-
uted throughout the textile centers
by the United Textile Workers of
America
Ready for what?
Ready for strike.
Back of that we find years of over
capitalization-watered stock upon
which dividends must be paid out of
the very hide of the workers.
Pleasant to contemplate, isn't it?
Perhaps the shirt on your back
was woven in a mill capitalized for
twice it's worth. Decent wages could
MT be paid, of course, because divi-
dends must come first.
That's been the story in mill after
mill.
NRA should have fixed up the sit
uation. AS in SO many other places,
it has helped but it hasn't cured, by
thousand miles.
Don't look for a winter of peace
and plenty. Look for a winter of
struggle and Of plenty of tough going
for plenty of Americans.
The old order is passing, but it is
sending uS devil of backfire on the
way.
The MELONS don't get mellow very
fast, the Steel Trust doesn't grow
wings and turn over new leaf. And
so on. Gains have been made-very
important gains. There are gains
will stand as great landmarks for
ever.
But there is just no use in kidding
ourselves to the effect that all is light
and sweetness.
Just because so much has been
gained, the powers of wealth are
fighting more desperately to keep
from being pushed clear off the
throne.
In the end they will pass, of course,
but meanwhile-it will be a hard
winter.
