COURT DECISION

By A. F. of L. News Service.
Akron, Ohio.-Rubber workers in
the Firestone and Goodrich plants
here are marking time, confidently ex-
pecting that elections for selection Of

ing will soon proceed.
Meantime, due to the action entered

tions Board, which had ordered the

$500 Income
Needed For Living

Boston, Mass.-The Rev. Francis ].
Haas, labor representative on the gen.
eral NRA board, in an address here,
asserted that, when minimum wages
are being set, mot less than $1,000
year" should be considered as the
amount required to maintain FAM
lily in reasonable comfort. Rev. Haas
also made this significant statement:
"If Section 7-A-the collective bar
gaining clause in the recovery act
had been allowed to operate freely
during the past year, it would have
had the certain effect of increasing
purchasing power"

Hit Chain Store Wages

Ottawa, Canada.-The parliament
tary mass buying commission, in re-
cent hearings, has revealed many
startling facts in connection with
wages paid chain store employees,
which is expected to result favorably
for the workers. An example is cited
in the case of the F. w. Woolworth
Company, Ltd, which, while making
profit of $1,8O0,OO0, representing
20 per cent on their investment, in
1892, reduced employees wages 10 per
cent. Average pay was found to be
$1,000, with some getting as low as
81 for full week.

TROUBLE
Predicted By Mayors Unless
JObless Get Work

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Trou-
BILE looms in American industrial CEN
ters this winter unless the government
supports a big public works program
for unemployment relief, representa-
tives of the American Conference of
Mayors told Secretary Ickes here.
"The relief load will jump from
100000 to 23,O0o,000 persons un-
less the administration supplies mon
ey to put millions of men to work, !"
Paul Betters, Chicago, secretary of
the mayors conference, said.
"Unless the government stimulates
employment" he said, "there will be
trouble in Americas industrial CEN
tiers this winter"
Mayors Dan Hoan, Milwaukee, T.
Semmes Walmsley, New Orleans, and
Henry Worley, Columbus, Ohio, in
formed Ickes that the mayors confer
ence, in it's recent meeting in Chicago,
had pledged its unanimous support to
the governments public works pro-
gram
"But," said Mayor Hoan, "if the
administration does not recommend
continuance of public works, Ameri-
can mayors will go direct to con-
gress."
After conferring with Secretary
Ickes, the mayors met with Admins
traitor Hopkins, where they declared
themselves in "hearty accord" with
the proposed low-cost housing and
slum clearance program.
"The only thing standing in the
way Of a public works and low-cost
housing program" Hoan said, sis the
fact that prices of building materials
are far too high. We are going to
ask the administration or congress to
do something about lowering them. !"

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Peek's Task in For.
eign Trade Declared
Merely Groundwork.
BY PAUL MALLON.

NE man in this Government
4 believes something important
l can be done about foreign
" trade. He is George Peek.
Other officials, who smoke up
big statements and gr-r-reat speeches
on the subject, will tell you behind
their hands that it is just a little
governmental by-play.
Several insiders actually believe that
President Roosevelt started the tariff
trade talk only because he had to get
Peek out of the A. A. A. and had no
place else to put him.
Wiser ones haze better theory.
They point out that the adminiS-
tration iDas forced to do something
on the tariff because OF campaign
promises Serious action tDds i'm
possible because OF Dorld condt-
tions. What could be better, then,
than to haze Mr.. Peek play around
NTH the issue in a harmless lit
tie way?
Maybe some day in year, or two.
or three, the world situation will get
around to where something important
can be done. In the meantime. Mr..
Peek is laying a good groundwork.
That is the real story underneath
the bushel baskets full of words and
figures now being exhibited by Mr..
Peek and the foreign trade bally-
hoo squad.
