De made TO STAND up.
Big employers are now making a
strenuous effort to maintain the cheap
labor guarantee by applying for ex-
emptions from the minimum wage
provisions in coded industries. For
tunately, the applications are meet
ing difficulties because of the NRA
requirement of proof.
Recently, in the application for ex-
emption from the cotton garment
code, manufacturer of work trous-
ers in Culpepper, Va, who was sup
ported by the commercial organfza-
tions of his town, submitted a list
of codes as evidence he could not pay
the minimum weekly wage of $12.
But the costs were questioned at a
public hearing. The workmanship on
the trousers exhibited was held to be
better than that of ordinary work
trousers. AS result, the cause OF
cheap labor seems to have suffered
another setback.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
BUNCOMBE

Automobile workers organized un-
der the banner of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor are seeking to "run"
the automobile industry, the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
says in full page advertisements in
the daily press.
This assertion is only one of many
misleading statements in the adver-
tisement, which is patiently intended
to prejudice the public against the
automobile workers. There is of
course no truth in the assertion. The
organized automobile workers are not
trying to "run" the industry. They
are only asking the right to organ
ize and have voice in the determi-
nation of the wages they receive and
the conditions under which they work.
1liS
magnates are fighting the right of the
workers to organize without interfer-
ence. AS President William Green, of
the American Federation of Labor,
says:
"The issue raised between the work
ers and their employers in the auto
mobile industry is clear and cannot
be confused. The question is: Do the
automobile manufacturers intend to
observe the law? Will they permit
automobile workers to enjoy the
rights guaranteed them by the labor
provisions of the automobile indus
trial code of fair practice? Shall the
workers be permitted to organize
their own union, bargain collectively,
be represented by men of their own
choosing, and do this free from intim-
idation or coercion of their employ
ers?
"That is the only issue involved in
the industrial conflict between the
automobile manufacturers and their
employees"

events of the day. If we can but
bring to bear upon some of the wis.
dom that is our heritage, then we
have learned we'll and to some real
purpose.
1t is to the point then to take note
of book just off the press. Matthew
Woll, who has never written book
before, but whose writings would fill
many books, and William English
Walling, who has written many books,
have joined in preparing the first of
labor's books under the New Deal.
A lot of men have been writing of
the New Deal, but these two have
done job that outranks them all.
How many labor men will read this
book? Who can know? Yet, all ought
to read it. The title is 'The Next
Step" Here is labor's philosophy.
1t has been said that not many
American trade unionists read books.
Nobody can really know if that is
true, but booksellers say so. Here is
a time when it ought to be proved
that trade unionists do read books.
There is just this to be said: The
day has passed when there can be
any successful meeting of issues
without real knowledge in the head.
Of course not all knowledge is got
out of books, but great deal of it
is secured there and much time is
saved by getting as much as possible
in that way.
One thing that makes so many
| American business men so utterly
stupid is that they do not read. They
think they know their own business
and that no more is needed.
They don't know their own bust.
ness, of course, for in this complex
order no man can know his own bust.
ness unless and until he knows what
lies all around it. To show how many
did NOT know their own business
look back to 1929. Or even observe
today's code hearings.
Well, so much for that. Mr.. Ar
thus Brisbane has been thought by
many a great writer 1t would seen
that, after reading some of his amaz
ing pieces about labor in these last
few days, that opinion might at Least
be held in allegiance as far as labor
matters are concerned.
| Few writer's have shown such al
utter lack of understanding or such &
wholesale disregard of plain and OBJ
vious facts.
Mr.. Brisbane's copy should be reac
by someone who knows what's going
on in the world. Does he miss fire
on other things as badly as he has
missed fire on labor in the automo
bile situation?

NEWSPRINT men
ASK SIX-H0UR DAY

Glens Falls, N. Y. ILNS)-Ad-
dressing union meeting here, John
P. Burke, president of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Pulp, sulphite
and Paper Mill Workers, said that
members of his union would go on a
six-hour day, but "before we'll take
another reduction in wages, we'll close
mills down."
Burke declared that the 40-hour
week as established under the NRA
code has not solved the unemploy-
ment problem in the industry. He
added that the six-hour day must
come to place an extra shift of men
in the mills.
United States mills, operating un-
der the NRA newsprint code, could
not compete with Canadian mills
bound by nc code, Burke said, and
something must be done against un-
fair competition.

Following his announcement OF

in his plants, Henry Ford said that
president Roosevelt is stopping a
good many harmful things that
otherwise would be put over on the
people," Predicting industrial and
commercial conditions twill continue
to improve throughout 1884," Mr..
Ford warned against "get-rich
schemes, whether they come from the
stock market, the politician, or the So
called labor leaders," and continued:
81 believe the bankers cannot put
anything more over on the American
people, at least not in this genera
ton. In the last year the American
people have learned so much about the
bankers that they are no longer afraid
of them. In the present condition OF
the country, good many harmful
things would be put over on the peo-
pie if the president did not stop them.
Most of those things come into col
lision with President Roosevelt. He
stops them."
This is whole lot coming from
the man who, in 1882, predicted Hoov-
er's defeat would be calamity.

of jurisdiction to Canada, this name

RICHMOND, Jan. 23.-One Of
the first moves in this session Of
the General Assembly to consoH!
date the governmental functions
of counties will come up for con-
sideration tomorrow afternoon
when the Senate Courts Of
Justice Committee holds hearings
on the economy committee bill
calling for establishment of trial
justices in the counties instead
Of the present justice Of the
peace courts.
The act provides, among other
things, two counties may, with
the approval of the board Of
supervisors, in the discretion Of
the judge or judges of the circuit
courts for such counties, be COM
bined, and one trial justice and
one substitute trial justice be
appointed for the two counties"
An incorporated town or city
within any county may be COM
bined with the county or two
such counties with the approval
Of the boards of supervisors Of
the counties and the council OF
the municipality.
This bill is aimed to do away
with the waste of the present
justice Of the peace courts, as
was pointed out in The Washing
ton Times last Friday. The 81.
P.'s" annually receive approx
mately $500,000 in fees and the
State could save about $380,000
