drafted for the United States and
submitted to the French govern

hope that President Roosevelt
would use his knowledge Of IL to

States $1,000, 100000 debtors.

Jobs for $500, 900 Unemployed.

In a criticism of the American Federation Of
Labor's demand for the 30-hour week to relieve
unemployment, the trade journal Business
Week" admits that at least 2,650,0O0 jobless
would be provided with work by the application
of the shorter hours proposal.
According to private statistics collected by
Business Week" employees in the manufactur-
ing industries are working 344 hours per week.
Therefore, on the basis of 90 millions employed,
the 30-hour week would add 10000 unemployed
to the payrolls. The statistics of Business
Week" for II other industries, where large num-
bers work more than 40 hours, show that the 30
hour week would give employment to 100000,
making a total of 2,650,O0O% unemployed to whom
the 30-hour week would give direct employment.
But the total number Of jobless put to work
would be much larger than this figure, which
does not take into consideration the purchasing
power of the wages paid to the re-employed
workers. If the entire 2,650,000 whom "Busi-
ness Week admits would be ~re-employed were
taken from relief rolls the net increase in com
modify and service purchases would be the diff
ference between the purchasing power of the
wages paid and the amounts received from relief
funds, which would undoubtedly total many mil
lions of dollars. These millions spent for the
good things of life would enable employers to
provide work for hundreds of thousands in adj
dition to those directly employed by means Of
the hours cut.
The main criticism Of Business Week" is that
the A. T. of L. plan is not a complete remedy for
unemployment-that it will not put all Of the
ten million unemployed to work. The A. F.. of L.
Joac oct c0,+a,J 4bo4 4ba IN hour 1vaa1r 1u;f1
create jobs for all Of the iobless. But when the
conservative estimate of the conservative "Busi-
ness Week" declares that it would take 2,650,000
from the unemployed army, and with them and
their depedents remove about 100000 persons
from relief rolls, the plan is certainly worth
deep consideration by those who own and con-
troll industry and by the Government, which is
pledged to restore prosperity.

Book Workers Protest to Washington
Against Firing of Unionists

WASHINGTON. OPP Demands
for the reinstatement of office EN-
ployes discharged by the Macaulay
Publishing Co. of New York for union
activity were carried to the White
House and the National Labor Rela-
tons Board November 2 by a delega-
ton of striking office workers and
writer's supporting them.
H. A. Mills of the N. L. R. B. would
give the delegation no immediate de-
cision on the question of whether Pub
lie Resolution "A (the substitute for
the Wagner labor disputes bill passed
by the last Congress) gave his board
authority to act in the case Of an I'M
codified industry. The Maculay dis
pute arose before the book publishing
code went into effect.
When four union members, making
up the entire shop committee, were
suddenly fired on September IA, the
Office Workers Union called a strike,
which has been carried on aggressively
with picketing in which many famous
authors have joined. The strike has
also received the active support Of the
New York Newspaper Guild. The
union agreement which the company
broke by firing the shop committee had
been won by an earlier strike, in June.
The union has won a decision from
the New York Regional Labor Board
ordering the immediate reinstatement
Of all the discharged workers. But the
company refused to attend the hear
ings or to abide by the decision.

WASHINGTON. -(FP)- Hearings
on the complaint OF steel workers en-
ployed by the Jones & Laughlin Co.,
Aliquippa, Pa, have been postponed to
November 10 at Pittsburgh by the Ma
tional Steel Labor Relations Board.
The fact that both company and union
attornies are engaged in the Weirton
case is given as the reason for the post
ponement.
The Jones & Laughlin workers
charge that the company has used in
timidation, interference and coercion to
break up the formation of a lodge Of

Murray Is Grateful

To the Montana Labor News,
Butte, Montana.
Dear Sirs;
| desire to take the opportunity of
expressing through the medium of your
newspaper my very sincere aPpreci-
alton of the support which was given
me by the members of Organized Labor
in Silver Bow County.
The endorsement of my candidacy in
the Primary Campaign by the Silver
Bow County Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil undoubtedly was the major factor
in bringing about my nomination. The
endorsement of my candidacy in this
County brought me the support of Or
ganized Labor throughout the State in
the General Election, and naturally
was a main factor in winning the cleo
ton.
1t was a great honor to me to have
the support of Organized Labor, and
will make a supreme effort t. merit the
confidence and trust that has been re-
posed in me by the workers of my
State. ! will always welcome the add
vice of Labor in every matter affecting
it's interests and will strive in every
way possible to see that its rights are
protected and enforced.
| invite the Labor Unions Of Silver
Bow County to write me freely regard
ing any matters in which they are in
terested. | realize, Of course, that my
election to the office of u. S. Senator
is not merely a personal matter, but is
an expression of approval of President
Roosevelt's New DEAL policies. 1t is
but a movement of the people, and
am but an fundamentally through
which they have expressed themselves.
| wish to thank sincerely my many
friends and supporters in the Labor
ranks Of Silver Bow County and | as
sure them that ! will make every effort
to continue to merit their confidence.
Yours respectfully,
JAMES E. MURRAY,
Senator-Elect
