The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1934-08-31

The past year witnessed gradual
recovery of industry, and, of more inn
portance, an increasing acceptance of
the new order of industrial discipline.
Gradually the old idea is passing
that the great industrial enterprises
on which the national welfare SO
largely rests, are purely private
affairs to be conducted as one might
play a game 1t would be a curious
commentary on our form of govern
ment if under it only the old game
could be played.
Organized labor, equally with the
industrialists, holds to the institution
of private property and to the virtue
of private initiative. 1t distrusts the
regimentation of life, but it feels that
the requirements of social justice and
common welfare are not wholly prob
lens of charity, but of politics.
Take the matter of the UNEMPLOYED

estimated at between 8 and 10 million
and with their dependents constitut-
ing one-fourth of our population. Are
they to be supported by private or pub
lie charity? Such plan involves the
degradation of the class and leaves
the nation as whole carrying the
burden. In fact, the burden will cal
for higher taxes--a form of govern
mental power not disputed-and may
be expected ultimately to bear heav-
lest upon those who now so blindly
oppose any practical solution of the
problem.
Is it not plain that work must be
distributed by shortening the work
day and work week? Is it not also
obvious that unemployment reserves
or insurance must be set up in indus

tally this is cost item which each
industry may reasonably be expected
to bear. Why should an industry turn
out its employees, at periods it deems
profitable not to use them, and let
the private or public charities take
care of them until they are called
back to work?
AS to the six-hour day and five-day
week, the condition today reinforces
the need for passage of the Black
Connery bill. All the promises and
predictions that industry would take
up the slack of employment have fail
ed. It is evident that industry has,
by mechanization and economics in
labor, thrown these millions on the
scrap pile where they will stay unless
the hours of labor are adjusted. And
this should be done without putting
the burden on those employed by re-
ducing the burden on those employed
by reducing their wages. To reduce
the wages of those now working in
order to employ more, is to lower the
whole wage structure upon which our
industrial and agriculture markets de-
pend. Where will the money come
from? Where does it come from now!
If these are industrial obligations,
then industry must bear them, even If
it involves readjustment of market
realizations.
Organized labor issists that the pro-
visions of codes containing Section Ia
be enforced in spirit and letter. Can
employers enjoy their code privileges
or commercial agreements and trade
consortiums and contest the conditions
of labor relations upon which those
privileges are being exercised?
One word more upon the organized
| movement. The time has come when
| the employees in mass industries must
be permitted and encouraged to or
ganize themselves into industrial
| unions. This is the only form of or
ganization that will meet their re-
quirements. The American Federation
of Labor must authorize such policy.

of $4,000 francs, or $3.50, has been
fixed by the general council of the
labor party for members who hold
government posts. Money received
above this figure is to go to the party
fund.
The council reached its decision
in the absence of most of its group
leaders. As a result, many Socialist
senators, deputies and mayors say
they will not comply with the deci-
sion.
Camille Huysmans, mayor Of Ant
werp, is cited by opponents OF the
decree as a Leading example of how
hard the measure will strike. He
draws a salary of $4,000 francs as
mayor and another of $4,000 francs
as a deputy He thus would have to
abandon 77,000 francs, or $4,000, to
the party fund.
The decision applies to senators,
deputies, mayors, communal and
provincial counsellors and others.
