ENFORCING MINIMUM WAGE
RATES

New York is trying an interesting
experiment in invoking public opin-
ion in the enforcement of minimum
wage rates. The new minimum wage
law provides that for the first nine
months of any wage order the indus
try affected shall have time to set
it's house in order and that no one
may be sent to Jail for failing to pay
the rates. But public opinion can be
used to bring immediate compliance,
by publication of the names of en-
ployers who do not pay the rates.
The plan is now being tested in the
case Of the laundry industry, the
names of Al Brooklyn laundries who
refused to pay the minimum rates
having been published as legal ad-
vertising in the Brookly newspapers
by the state department of labor.
The mere prospect of publication
brought many laundry owners in line.
Others defed the department of labor
until the last moment and then agreed
to comply. 1t is evident that the plan
is getting results but it seems certain
that in every industry there will be
a small minority of employers who do
not comply until forced to by legal
action.

and ten cent stores fattening off the
overflow.
The big stores spend thousands Of
dollars a year in advertising, bring
ing the crowds into their territory,
and the five and ten-cent stores thrive
as result of that advertising. But
the five and tens will do no adver-
tising. In other words they dance
but do not pay the fiddler.
But that isn't the worst Of it, a
great deal of similar merchandise on
sale in the department stores also
finds it's way to the five and tens, and
through distress selling Of some man.
ufacturers' prices are made that COM
pletely ruin the stock purchased at
fair merchandising prices by the de-
partment stores.
Many buyer in some department
store has stocked his department up
with merchandise and felt the criti-
cism and sting of the big boss for loss
in the department by reason Of the
five and ten-cent store selling some
thing similar purchased at distress
prices, and all the profits went for
the purchase of some Russian duke or
count or something.
We don't know what, if anything,
can be done about it, but it seems
as if all kinds of business is being
regulated these days, and certainly
here is one situation that ought to be
remedied.-The Labor Union, Dayton,
Ohio.
And no better example or dupli-
cate of the Dayton situation can be
found anywhere than right here in
Hamilton, where the five and tens
don't spend a nickel for advertising
but they do lick up the cream and
gravy resulting from advertising by
other merchants and events staged by
them, such as Dollar Day, Hamilton
Days, etc. But, as the Dayton Labor
Union WOULD ask: "What can be done
about it," 1t is to be hoped that
some one in the near future will hit
on some remedy for the situation and
the FIVE and tens owners be made to
toe the scratch and "Do their part"

AMERICA LAGS IN REHOUSING

AMERICA LAGS IN REHOUSING
Recurrence of slum fires in Amer.
lean cities is a CHASTITY reminder OF
the tragedies in the "warrens of the
poor" In New York's most disgrace
full district children and adults were
recently trapped and perished miser-
ably. How many victims this form of
mans inhumanity to man claims
each year would make an appealing
total.
Fire prevention is possible in all
cities. Only the greed of landlords
and the indifference of the public
makes it difficult to bring about bet
ter conditions. According to New
York's tenement house commissioner
Langdon Post, there has not been a
fatal fire in any of Manhattan's new
law tenants.
What is needed to bring home to
American cities their failure in meet
ing the housing needs of working
mems families? Cities and states
alone can undertake the task of raz-
ing slums and rehousing the six mil
lion or more families in need of de-
cent homes. But the federal govern
ment stands ready to help with loans
and grants.
So far only five states have passed
proper laws authorizing cooperation
in housing projects with the public
works administration at Washington
Only Milwaukee and Los Angeles
among the large cities have charters
permitting them to go ahead without
special state legislation. The states
are holding up the governments re-
housing program.

housed one-eighth of her population

PANIC CAUSES

Edward F. McGrady, NRA assist.
ant administrator, told the American
people something that cannot be too
strongly emphasized when he said:
"In the last hundred years we have
had ten major panics which left in
their wake disaster and ruin. The
causes in the main were all similar
There was no balance between pur.
chasing and producing power. Con-
suming power Jagged because indus
try did not distribute to the consum-
ers enough money to buy the goods
produced"

Unions Urge
Revision of Codes

York, Pa. (ILNS) - Resolutions
urging the president and the NRA
to raise minimum wages under all
codes, to drastically reduce maximum
hours in all codes, and to make union
membership mandatory upon all en-
ployes in shops where the majority
vote for it, were adopted at a mass
meeting of workers sponsored by the
York Federation of Trade Unions
and affiliated locals.

mems Trade Union League, in pro-
testing recently at an NRA hear
ing against sex wage differentials in
codes.
"The sex differential," Miss Christ
man said, "simply lowers the whole
scale. It makes the woman's submis-
sion the actual minimum rate for the
industry, and that cuts two ways.
It keeps the women at low wages,
oftentimes so low as to provide a
bare existence, yes, and in instances,
even less. It keeps mems wages down,
and it invites the employer to en-
ploy women instead Of men.
$50 if you argue that working wo-
men don't need as much to live on as
men because they have fathers and
husbands to support them-which is
absurd, of course, for women who
work nearly always contribute heav-
lily to their familys support-then
you must realize that you lessen the
number Of jobs for fathers and hus-
bands and you reduce their wages too.
You simply cannot raise wages, you
cannot even maintain a wage scale
and consuming power, don't forget
if You have a double standard of
wage rates.
"The double standard is an unfair
trade practice, too. It hurts the good
employer. If the employer of women
is allowed to pay wages lower than
the employer of men, he can undercut
his competitor to the ultimate dis
advantage Of both. It is this kind Of
thing that produces sweatshops-
which you have noticed are exploiters
of women and children, rather than
Of men,"

WHAT NEXT?

Potato starch, so important in the
textile industry that $4,000, 900
pounds have been imported in single

has also produced new type of post
age stamp gum from the sweet po-
tato. These new uses for the sweet
potato are expected to help the sweet

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

What royal joke there is in this
10 per cent wage-raise and 10 per
cent hours-reduction.
Maybe nobody figured it out in ad-
vance. Maybe it was just a snap
judgment thing.
But it gives the workers the worst
OF it and thus operates as a work
sharing proposal.
Take the man working 40 hours at
40 cents. He gets SIC week. If he
is cut to 80 hours and raised to so
cents, he gets SIS week, wage
cut of 81 per week.
Isn't that nice?
All yes, Cicero, it's nice--a regular
piece of big business trickery.
And when workers get stuck that
way the only thing they can do is go
out and build themselves union and
then go back and sock the outfit with
the solidarity and purpose of organ
ization.
Bill Collins, that veteran of scores
of labor battles, stood up in Wash
ington before Senator Wagner and
told him plenty about the auto indus
try.
When you read the glowing auto
ads, read also what Bill Collins had
to say about the oppressive policies
of the big outfits. Those guys think
automobiles are just steel and book
keeping. Collins, chief A. F. of L.
organizer in Detroit, could testify
that there are AZ unions of auto max
ers in Michigan and as many more
in other states.
That's piece Of big news, that is.
You don't have to be gray haired to
remember back to where there wasn't
even one such union. Now there are
80 of them. TIME RACES ON!
Less than six months ago this
writer proposed to the representative
of big auto company that the COM
pany unionize and beat the gun with
a union-made automobile. Well, the
big company couldn't see it then.
/ But it won't be long now before
we have union-made automobiles.
And do you know there are certain
business machines, including type
writer's, that are almost wholly union
made?
I That's an achievement of the last
few months. Think it over.
Labor is moving ahead. Again there
are men in the field with the fervor
of evangelical effort in their souls
the light Of battle in their eye. They
see the full meaning of unionism.
That band of big business men who
stood up in the code conference in
Washington and marked out the line
of today as their Marne may have
meant to stop labor in it's tracks
with no further progress.
But what guess they have com.
