WHO'S CRAZY9 YOUR GUESS
A man walked into the Senate gal
lery the other day and he was very
nearly nude.
To be exact. he wore sandals, 4
loin cloth and . short white cape
over his shoulders. NAter 10 de-.
scribed himself g "the American
oandhi.")
Anyway, he wore 50 little that he
caused no end Of conformation and
was promptly hustled out Of view BY
sergeant-at-Arms Chesley Jurney and
half q dozen policemen.
It was Ut that point that Sen.
atsr Frederic G. Walcott q Con.
necticut, . Republican Il evee
there was one, demanded:
"What Do you want 70 arrest
him for? Probably he's the only
sane man In Washington"
There's . certain amount Of eu-
dence that Walcott was giving voice
to an opinion widely held not only In
Washington, but also In the country
outside. To be brutality frank, how
ever, one must admit that nearly al
congressman, as well Is most New
Dealers, harbor IN idea that the rest
Of the nation Is not crazy, but Just
plain dumb. (Neither idea Is COM
pletely true.)

URISDICTIONAL
FIGHT Is TO BE


LOS ANGELES-(FP)-The settl-
ing of a jurisdictional dispute be-
tween two unions by an election Of
the workers involved has been ordered
by the National Labor Board. 1t has
authorized the Los Angeles regional
board to supervise balloting of Holly
wood soundmen to let them determine
whether they shall belong to the init
Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employ
es or to the Init. Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers.
The election was ordered after
Judge Leon Yankwich in California
Superior Court dismissed the l. A. T.
S. e. suit for an injunction against
the |. B. E. w. contract with the Hol-
lywood Producers Committee. The
alliance maintained that the brother
hood had signed the contract in vio-
lation of the 1926 agreement between
the two organizations which put
the soundmen under l. A. 7. S. E.
jurisdiction. The producers-brother
hood pact provided for an l. B. E. w.

AUTO WORKERS
FIGHT VICIOUS
WAGE CUTS

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Fighting
with their backs to the wall, organized
auto workers in the commercial We
hicle body division of the industry de-
nounced the proposed NRA code, Jan.
~, as threatening to cut their already
meager wages in half. The bosses
propose minimums of 81 lie in the
north and 35c in the south for men,
and 80 1-2c and 30c for women, with
further cuts of lie in plants in
cities of less than 100000.
J.. j. Williams, organizer of Phila-
delphia Auto Workers, Local 2, pro-
posed a scale starting from SOC for
common labor to 81 for skilled opera
tives. Workers are now 65 per cent
unemployed or underemployed, he
said. In coach building plants, wages
range from 43 to SIC an hour. The
spokesman for that union said he was
getting the top wage, $22.67 a week.
If that is reduced to 81 lie he would
have to go on relief.
Philadelphia auto workers are pre-
pared to strike if the proposed code
is adopted, union representatives
warned.
Montana labor news., 1934-01-25

On Tuesday night of next week the
largest labor demonstration held in
Butte for years will take place, when
the unions of Butte will parade in
honor of President Roosevelt. The
parade is being held as a manifesto
ton Of labor's support and apprecia-
ton of the program the President is
sponsoring for the benefit of the
workers of the United States. Butte

for such a purpose. It is expected
that some 5000 union men and women
will participate in the march.
The marshal of the parade will be
President Brown of Bate Miners
Union No. /. His aides are F. w.
Krabler, Paul Erler, VIM. Palmer,
Tom McGarry, Chas. Malloy, Francis
McElvey, James Combo, Press David
son and VIM. Moran. The Miners
Union will head the first division
while the CWA workers will head the
second.
Not to Be COmmercialized.
The committee in charge announces
that the parade will not be CONNER
cialized in any way. No trucks will
be allowed in the parade and no COM
mercial advertising banners will be al
lowed. Only union men and women
will be allowed to march. The only
banners allowed will be banners per-
tanning to labor and especially to un-
ionism.
Line and Order of March.
Following is the line of march as
well as the order in which the unions
will parade. Two large bands will

creed by the American Federation Of
Labor conventions, including those
made at the 1888 convention. They al
so agree to have all building and re-

With regard to wages, the agree
ment prescribes that the prevailing
union wage scales of the unions hav-
ing jurisdiction in specific territories
shall govern all breweries which are
a party to the agreement. In return
the unions agree to authorize the use
of a suitable label to certify that the
breweries' products are 100 per cent

Relative to the settlement of the
controversies the contract declares:

administrator, informed officials of
the Hotel & Restaurant Employees In

they were to be joined by thousands
of others throughout the country.
No details of the notifications
were released by Robert B. Hesketh,

TEACHERS TALK
UNIONISM In
CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND-(FP)- Trade un.
ionism for teachers is now a hot sub
ject of discussion in Cleveland schools
The Teachers Federation has a com
mittee Investigating the question Of
affiliation with the American Fedora
ton of Teachers, A. F. of l.. The
Cleveland Teachers Club is debating
it at its meetings, and regardless of
the action of existing organizations
an A. F. 7. local is expected to be
formed in the present school year,
with an initial membership of from
200 to 500 teachers.
Group meetings have been held
among the teachers in different parts
Of the city, and union advocates de-
clare they look for a membership of
1000 in the first year.
James c. Adell, science teacher at
the John Hay High School, has been
the leading advocate of unionism in
the Teachers Federation, and the
cause has now been publicly espoused
by DR.. Henry Harap of the School of
Education.
Meeting the objections of "profes-
%sional, intellectual and social snobs'
who twill say almost automatically
that it would not be respectable to

CIR ISSUES
A. F. L.


WASHINGTON-(FP)- Moment
Gus issues are due for decision at the
enlarged conference in Washington,
Jan. "a, of national and international
union officials with the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor.
Uppermost will be the need for
stating the A. F. Of l.. attitude to-
ward the administration of NRA. The
Federation not only supported the en-
actment of MIRA but claims a meas
ure of credit for initiating its main
labor provisions, which are similar to
those of the Davis-Kelly bill. This
measure was introduced during the
Hoover regime for the United Mine
Workers in al attempt to provide
machinery to break down the intense
competition within the coal industry
and to build up relations between the
operators and the u. M. w.
Now the Federation finds NRA COM
pletely under the thumb of Gen. John
son and his big business associates.
The codes as negotiated by Johnson
and his assistants do little to re-em-
ploy the II, 000, 900 industrial jobless
or to provide increased purchasing
power.
The "co-partnership of industry and
labor" which MIRA was supposed to
set up has been completely muffed,
aaaardinp 70 A IA sc laoln.c u1la
codes for "self-governing" industries
are being administered in most cases
with no labor representatives on the
code authorities. The most insistent
demand is that the unions be given
equal representation with employers
on these authorities to implement the
announced 'co-partnership."
The coming conference is also ex-
pected to demand the inclusion of the
30-hour week. Both these demands
will get nowhere with johnson, it is
admitted, so the conference will APP
peal directly to Congress to amend
MIRA. That promises to be the lead
ing issue before the present session
of congress, so far as the A. F. of L.
is concerned.
Another issue, which means ever
more to the internal life of the trade
union movement, is the demand by
groups of newly established federal
labor unions for national charters.
Among these groups are electrical in
dustry employees and aluminium, rub

WIERTON
STEEL l, WORK
Frs, 0

Observation-Disclosures wins
on a technicalityl That seems to be
the decision on the fight between
Weirton Steel and the national labor
board, on the issue of a labor board
election to decide whether Weirton
workers want a regular union or a
company union.
The judges have been in confer
ence a week on the matter. On Jan.
IL they filed into the White House
to seek presidential guidance. Pres.
Roosevelt refused comment to the
press, aside from saying that the
conferees had gone over the facts in
the case.
Sen. Wagner, Sec. of Labor Perkins,
Atty. Gen. Cummings and Gen. John
son have been consulting about what
to do. The department of justice,
which was asked to get an injunction
against Weir, feels that the labor
board failed until the last minute to
notify Pres. E. T. "Shoot a Few" Weir
about the intended election Dec. 10,
although the press had been full of
articles about it for weeks previous.
That's one of the technicalities.
That leaves Weir on top Of the
heap, thanks to the astute advice from
the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute's attorneys, who have also adj
vised U. S. Steel's Prick Coke Co. to
defy the labor board. Weir, who
vowed never to deal with a bona fide
union, gained his s%obriquet during the
strike of his $4,000 workers last Oc-
tober. At that time he confided to
the sheriff that they might have to
"shoot a few" pickets before the strike
could be broken.
The strike was ended by the ma
tional labor boards assurance that it
would hold an election, but Weir
stated at the time that he would never
deal with the union, no matter what
the labor board decided, and later he
defied the boards right to hold any
election.

BOSSES RIDING
NRA TO SMASH
UP, DAWSON


employers are going to wreck NRA,
and out of the smashup, the govern
ment will have to step in and oper-
ate the nations basic industries"
That's how Sec. Il. G. Dawson of the
Init. Assn. of Machinists sees the out
come of the present administration
and execution of the national recov-
cry act.
Reports coming into this office
Dawson told Federated Press, "show
a desperate condition in the industrial
centers. Men are being laid off, those
who are working are working longer
hours, and wage cutting seems to be
general. The mechanic, the skilled
worker, is worse off now than before
employers got hold of the NRA."
Dawson conceded that MIRA codes
may have helped unskilled workers
who earned less than 35-4Oc an hour
but machinists are finding that boss
es are taking whatever concessions
they make to the poorest paid work
ers out of the hides of the better paid.
Not only are skilled scales cut to
compensate for higher common labor
rates, but a longer working week is
being installed. In machine industry
the 24-hour and 30-hour week have
been common since the crisis hit the
bottom, Dawson explained. Now the
schedule is being pulled out to the full
40 hours allowed by the codes, and
thousands of men are being dumped
out of jobs.
Another artifiee of employers, the
machinists secretary asserted, is to
place a good proportion of their work.
ers on apprentice" and t~learner"
rates. There is not the least reason
for introducing any learners into in
dustry now, with 1000, 900 unemploy-
3D." Dawson said. "It's just a trick
to cut the wages Of 40c an hour work
ers down to the apprentice scale"
Plenty Of complaints are coming in
to machinists' headquarters in Wash
ington, Dawson said, regarding the
paying of common labor rates to
skilled workers. Machinists are be-
ing hired on PWA and CWA jobs to
do machinists' work, and are being
paid 40-50c an hour, the common la
Dor rate.
The result of the growing disillu-
sionment of workers with the opera
ton of the NRA codes is a mounting
demand for unionism, according to
the cold records in the 1. A. M. Of
fices. A month ago the unions mem
bership was rising at the rate of 1000
a week. Now the tempo is 1900 new
members weekly, according to Da-
vison.
Next spring l expect that the
present stream of new members will
grow into a torrent" he said. The
more workers see that reliance can't
be placed in NRA codes and in en-
ployers' fairness in administering
them, the more they are going to de-
mand that the unions step in"
TITS a funny thing" Dawson sum
med up. "This whole NRA set-up
was put in to save private business
and employers. But somehow or
other they can't see the point. If
things keep up at the present rate,
the whole private greed machine is
going to smash up"

Der, auto and radio workers. These
federal labor unions are dissatisfied
both with their status as federal la
Dor unions, lacking autonomy, and
with the threatened split-up of their
memberships into various craft I'M
ions.
A group of federal labor unions are
expected to ask the A. F. of L. ION
ference to establish industry unions"
for at least the electrical auto and
rubber industries, to come under a
special industry union" department
of the A. F. of L., on a basis of equal
ity with the building and metal trades
departments.
Their fight is likely to run into the
opposition Of some of the more pro-
gressive A. F. of L. internationals,
such as the Electrical Workers and
the Machinists, which are most con-
cerned about building up locals in the
basic industries. Some of the "indus-
try union" locals threaten to throw
up their A. F. of L. federal labor UNI
ion charters and organize a federal
council of industry unions," if their
views are not met by the A. F. of L.
enlarged conference. Just how far a
group Of newly-organized unions
would get with such a nov is of
course predetermined.
