Derby, Vim States

BIZ United Press
FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind,
April 24.-Colonel Matt Vim,
president of the American Turf As
ISOLATION, which operates Churchill
Downs, said today he wouldn't be
surprised if a crowd of $4,000
attended the Kentucky Derby at
Louisville, May 5.
The outlook is most encourage
ing said Colonel Vim, and if the
weather is fair the crowd may reach
$1,000 and might even top the record
of 10000"
Colonel VIM expects a large field,
with as many as twenty candidates
going to the post. He's seen every
Kentucky Derby-ffty-nine of them
starting with the first in 1875,
which he saw from his fathers

BLUE DEVIL THINLIES
POINT FOR CITY MEET

Don R. Knight, track mentor at
Shortridge high school, is sending
his charges through several tough
workouts this week to prepare them
for the city track meet at Tech field
Friday. Coach knight is working
for individual wins, rather than a
team victory. The distance men,
Hoatson in the mile, and Fraser
in the alf-mile, are conceded the
best chances to win. The fast half
mile relay team, which also has won
points in three meets so far, is ex-
pected to place.
The Shortridge high school golf
team held its first tryouts of the
season today at Highland Country
Club. The members chosen for the
team by Lieutenant George Mayor
will travel to Culver Saturday to
encounter the cadet team.

NY. TRUCKERS WIN
WAGE INCREASE

New York (AFL)-The menace of
a trucking strike which threatened
to tie up industry and hamper the
handling Of food supplies for the en-
tire city of New York was averted
when virtually all the principal truck
ing concerns signed a new agreement
which calls for $5 per week wage in
crease. The settlement was brought
about as the result of the mediation
efforts of Mrs. Gilmore M. Herrick and
Ben Golden, vice chairman and exec
utive secretary of the Regional Labor
Board.
The wage increase was demanded by
members of locals of the international
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs,
Stablemen and Helpers Of America
Under the new agreement drivers
pay runs from $45 to $47.50 per week
Helpers will receive $36 per week.

Jersey City, N. j. (AFL)-Vice
Chancellor Charles NJ Egan believes
in the injunction as most effective
weapon with which to arm employers
in their struggle to impose low wages
and ether forms of exploitation on
working men and women.
At the request of counsel for the
Restful Slipper Company, Inc, he
signed temporary injunction requir-

in a strike against the shoe company
or from picketing the factory at 81
Wilkinson avenue, Jersey City, and
even from communicating to anybody
in any way that there is strike OF
the company's employees.
Experts on injunctions said the
Egan injunction was the most dras-
tice one issued against pickets here
since the picket campaign was started
last spring.

said in the report, international
union law should be amended to estab-
lish 40-hour as the maximum work
week in both branches of the indus
try. In some jurisdiction it is de-
sirable to divide the work week into
five shifts and in others conditions
are favorable for six shifts of five
hours and forty minutes each.
'In smaller places where the hourly
and daily wage rates are low as COM
pared with the scales of large unions,
it has required a real sacrifice upon
the part of the members to observe
the five-day law in it's present form.
On the other hand the benefits derived
from the application of the five-day
law under this condition have not
been of any considerable advantage
in assisting to solve the unemploy-
ment problem
Four-Day Law Opposed
Referring to agitation for. adoption
of an amendment permitting local
unions to limit the work week to four

opinion 'it would be most unwise and

Demands Are Just
"This strike is founded upon just
demands-minimum demands. The
workers, a half million strong, have
shown their power to stop the wheels
of the mills by simply walking out.
Without labor power the mills do not
run.
"Our strike line is in magnificent

upon the discipline of our members
everywhere to keep it so. To permit
our members to be drawn into con-

BLAME PUT ON MANAGEMENT
FOR FAILURE OF PEACE MOVE
Employers Will Be Held Strictly Accountable for Stand
Strike Head Declares-Strikers Urged to Hold Fast
Lines and Permit No Provocation to Drive Them to
Violence.

Employers isued their statement
through the cotton textile code author
ity, saying that the proposals of the
union leaders were impossible" and
that any changes as to hours of work
and wages as we'll as problems of the
"stretch-out" and collective bargain
ing must be adjusted through the es-
tablished NRA machinery.
In issuing their statement through
the code authority, the manufacturers
evidently sought to show that they
were working through NRA machin-
cry and abiding by NRA practice. 1t
is significant that the three govern
ment members of the code authority,
although invited, were not present at
the meeting at which the statement
was adopted. The three government
representatives are Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson, NRA administrator; Leo
Wolman, member of the NRA Labor
Advisory Board and Nelson Slater,
industrialist.
Green Attacks Employers
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, assail-
ed the employers for assuming an ar
bitrary attitude and declared their
attitude was barring quick settle
ment. He said:
"The Presidents Board has explor-
ed the situation. They are convinced
no agreement can be reached with the
manufacturers. I should judge the
next step would be a report to the
president.
"The manufacturers assumed an er-
roneous and unsound position. In the
midst of great emergency they owe
| it to the public to agree to some form
Of arbitration by which the issues can
be judicially determined. The board is
| to be commended for it's fine service.
The workers have shown a willing
ness to arbitrate. They still are will
! ing. The arbitrary attitude of the
employers has prevented a speedy
settlement"
Use of Troops Assailed

First announcement of the rejection
by the employers of arbitration pro-
posals came from the presidents spe-

brief statement:
"After two days of effort we have

equivalent. We regret this deeply, but

Pay Cuts Prevented

"The wage provision of the daily
newspaper code fixes the minimum at
40 cents per hour for mechanical
workers and provides for maintaining
existing rates above that figure. I'm
der this provision we have been able
to prevent reductions and through the
negotiation of new contracts have
been able to secure material increases
in hourly rates above the low levels
which existed in 1888"

s'Local unions are privileged to ne
gotiate contracts for the four day
week, or the six-hour day. However,
one factor which must be given con-
sideration in this connection is the
weekly compensation. Established
standards cannot be reduced below
reasonable level. Weekly earnings
for full time must be maintained at
as high point as is consistent with
conditions in the industry and the
general condition of the nations busi-
ness"
President Howard said in his in
troductory remarks that work of thu
union this past year has been devoted
largely to reconstruction. He con-
tended the newspaper NRA code has
not generally increased wages or re-
duced hours in the printing trade.
He added, however, that wage rates
have been maintained under the code.
On this point he reported:
