LABOR GAINS THROUGH
CONFERENCE

Organized workers in two great
industries-oil and cotton textiles
have just made important gains by
sitting down and talking things over
with the employers, though in the
case of the textile industry a strike
was threatened.
tional Recovery Administrator John
son, in which the employers, as repre-
sented by the code authority, Joined,
the textile workers won more of a
voice in code management and admin
istration. They also won a NRA in
vestigation of wages, hours, and man
hour productivity in textiles, with
particular reference to the question
of wage increases. By the agreement,
the workers get closer to the inside
of the industry.
The oil workers won recognition
from the important Sinclair compan-
les. The agreement, President Green,
of the A. F. of L., said, provides ma
chinery for the settlement of disputes
in such manner as "to secure justice
for the workers without compelling
them to resort to a strike" The
agreement, first of it's kind on a ma
tional scale, is the entering wedge of
trade, unionism in the oil industry
hitherto largely dominated by the
company union.
Gains of the oil and textile workers
show the value of negotiation with the
employer. Revolutionary" critics OF
the labor movement are fond of advis-
ing the worker to strike on any and
all excuse. The workers know from

SOUND RULING

A Cleveland worsted mill recently
asked exemption from the machinery
hours limitation of the code for the
wool textile industry on the ground
that a strike in March had decreased
production, and it wished to make up
for lost ground. The NRA denied the
application.
The code authority and the advisory
boards took the sound position that
the granting of the application would
tend to establish a dangerous prece-
dent. 1t pointed out that if employers
knew they could secure exemptions to
make up for time lost by strikes, they
would be less apt to make an earnest
endeavor to get along in peace with
their employees.
If the ruling is an indication of
NRA policy in the future, it is of
great Importance and significance.
Labor believes that the application of
the Cleveland mill was very properly
denied, and hopes that similar appli-
cations will be rejected.

WORK WEEK MUST BE
SHORTENED

The gravity of the situation result
ing from the continual mechanization
of industry is emphasized by the fol-
lowing statement coming from no less
an authority than DIR. Morris Citeles,
of the University of Pennsylvania, in
a radio address:
During the next ten years, ten
million white collar men will have
to change to manual labor, and fifteen
million manual workers of today will
find it necessary to take up work diff
ferent from that for which they have
been trained"
Mechanization of industry has alb
waited the necessity of continuing a
work week of more than thirty hours
Organized labor has consistently
advocated reduction of hours in
order that our scientific progress may
benefit all of the people.
Otherwise, labor saving devices
will be a continual curse instead of a
blessing for the bulk of the popula-
ton.

THE MAGIC KEY

In commenting on problems faced
by agriculture, particularly those
concerning international exchange of
farm products, C. o. Moser, vice pres
ident of the American Cotton Co.
Operative Association, said that CO.
operation is the magic key to success
cooperation in production, CO.
operation in moving products into
market, and cooperation in regulat-
ing their exchange value"
The best proof of that lies in the
experience of the immediate past. It
is not an exaggeration to say that
agriculture, year or two ago, was
faced with complete chaos. Markets
were disorganized and prices had
fallen far below the cost of produc-
tion. There were tremendous sur
pluses of almost every agricultural
commodity-andm more were constant
ly being produced. At that time the
co-operatives started a determined
and aggressive campaign to cause
farmers to pull together for the COM
mon good, and to urge the passage of
essential legislation.
That campaign was a success.
Prices are low, but they are rising,
and are substantially better than they
would have been had the cooperative
movement not existed. Markets are
becoming stabilized. And the work of
the co-operatives finds its reflection in
federal legislation designed to carry

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
O~ we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
f0undly, sometimes nippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

There's an interesting development
in the labor field today. Any one Of
dozen unions know all about it.
Workers by the thousands upon
thousands are eager to belong to un-
ions, but they are not eager to pay
dues.
Why is that?
Everyone can give his own answer.
But here is one answer:
There is mass resentment against
the general raw deal of the last half
dozen years, and it is resentment
that knows it will get nowhere unless
| it gets there en- masse.
The feeling that all must stick to-
gether is stronger than ever.
But too many men don't see any
reason why they should pay dues
They are willing to fight but they
don't want to pay the cost of battle
Of course a good deal of this lack
of willingness to pay dues is because
the newly enraged ones think the ole
officers go too slow. They don't real
| ize yet that the old officers are sea-
soned campaigners, that they know
something about discipline, and that
they have an idea of what battle
means and what you can expect
through battle.
| Impatience is a good thing in its
way, but impatience without discipline
| has led more armies to suicide thar
ever went there any other way.
Let the recruits take little coun
sci. There is not an officer of an in
ternational union that doesn't wan
all that can be got for labor, ant
there isn't one that won't go as fal
as his union will follow.
/ Mostly, American union leaders ar
the ones who have been held back, in
| stead of the rank and file being helt
back. Leaders have feared thei
armies wouldn't follow.
i If some of the leaders have got S,
used to holding back because of thei
fear they are soon going to have i
shaken out of them, for the job now il
the other way around, quite clearly.
| Even during the last year big bust
ness has misused NRA to give tn
workers still more dirt.
| The soreness is beyond computa
ton. 1t is plenty, plus.
Resentment is seen on every hano
i Indeed, some employers who hav
refused to deal whit constructive
moderate leaders may soon lose tha
chance forever, for there is a BIZ
rumbling in the land.
i The wanton violation of Sectio
IA of MIRA is a chicken that seem
destined to come home to roost in
good many factory rafters.

WHAT NEXT?

A $5,000,000 corporation has just
been formed in Great Britain to erect
and operate a chain of 20 distilla-
tion plants for the production of gaso-
line from coal. The scheme is the
elimination of over three years in
tensive experimental research work
in the plant on the Cannock Chase
coal field. Gasoline has been produced
from coal at this plant and marketed
since last September at the rate OF
1000 gallons day.

CURRENT PESSISM

Just now there is being aired much
pessimism about union labor. This
comes not only from traditional ene-
mics, but from loyal friends. Pessim-
ism isn't always bad, because it pre-
supposes a standard-a hope-even a
vision of a greater and more powerful
labor movement. 1t is because labor
appears to have fallen short of ar
attainable ideal that friends feel dis
couraged.
This is being written not to stave
off criticism, but to illuminate labor's
present problems and difficulties, anc
to bring about fuller understanding, il
possible.
The chief cause of complaint is la.
boris slowness in adapting itself tt
the New Deal. Where this slowness
is due to wilful obstruction, or to re-
fusal to understand that a new era
of industrial control has arrived, OF
where it is due to a perverse adher
ence to old methods and stubborn
pitiable clinging to old ways for tn,
sake Of old ways, it is to be deplored

Canadian Job Index
Again Disappointing

Ottawa (ILNS)-The index of Ca
madam employment for May was
again disappointing, being 81 as COM
pared with 91.3 in April. This gain
is lses than the average gain record
ed for May over 13 years, so that the
curve of employment, when adjusted
for seasonal influences, showed de-
cline. The adjusted index of employ
ment began to decline in March.
Industries showing the greatest
contrasts in May employment were
the building trades with an index OF
42.5, and the silk and silk goods in
dustry with an index of 481.7.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1934-06-15

It is likely that good many employ
ers are just about scared stiff rlgnt
now.
That's OK. They ought to be.
The thing that is needed every
where is an honest facing of the fact
that workers have rights that must
be respected, that the law means Wnat
it says, and that feudal days are over
With that basic understanding and
a moderate amount of common
sense, American could become over
night land of vast industrial peace
and good will.
But that won't happen. There are
still too many Rip Van Wrinkles still
sleeping in the mountains.

A HINT TO PROPERTY OWNERS

The next major activity of govern
ment will be an attempt to stimulate
heavy industries - which normally
provide the bulk of employment, were
hit hardest by depression, and have
been the most lethargic in recovering
from it. And the first step in doing
that will be to unloose capital for
BODYBUILDING and repairing, through
federal guarantees of mortgages. Mr..
Roosevelt has sent special message
to congress to expedite such legisla-
ton.
Experts estimate that it is possible
to unloose credit to the tune of ST.
500, 100000 or more in this manner.
That money would go to painters, car
penters, masons, plumbers, contrac-
tors. 1t would buy cement, steel
paint, lumber, roofing, electric fix
lures. 1t would pass through a hun
dred great industries, creating jobs
and opportunities as it went. 1t does
MT take much imagination to visualize
the extent Of it's influence in pulling
businesses of all kinds out of the dol
drums.

erty-owner to start considering right

Yesterday afternoon several Mex
leans attending a meeting Of the

of the industrial union while at
tending a meeting in the aSsocia-
ton S hall at Tenth and G streets,
Brawley. What threatened for a
serious affair was soon quoted and
NJ. Murrillo was arrested. He is
now in the Brawley Jail but no
charges have as yet been placed
against him. He was questioned
by police today regarding his part
in the affairs. Three Of the associa-
lion members were beaten, pain
fully but not seriously.
Bench warrants were issued to-
day by Judge Griffin. Brawley. for
the arrest of Dorothy Ray an1
Stanley Hancock. Grounds for
this action are that the pair who
had been guilty of disturbing the
peace in a Brawley court and re-
ceived sentences of six months each
in the county Jail, had failed to
perfect their appeal being two days
late in filing their written and Of
fetal notices of appeal. Following
their conviction and sentence they
had notified the court, orally, OF
their intention to appeal the judg-
ment but failed to take any further
steps in that direction.
Hancock is thought to be still in
