After the city electrician of Petersburg had disconnected the power high line to the Scowbay sawmill by opening a large switch on the pole, the workmen on the line considered the electricity off until Whitey Olsen remarked that the poles were getting awfully hot Upon Investigating it was found that a resident of Scowbay, who was interested in getting the power back on for the sawmill, had placed a ladder against the light pole, crawling over the danger si n, marked Danger, 22,000 yolts," and put the switch back in on his own accord.

They report that there is considerable prospecting in the interior and the placer mining outlook is brighter than it has been for several years. One of the most likely looking prospects is on Odell creek, a tributary of the Sa- lima river. It is owned by Lawrence Dewitt, Charles Swanson, Il s Johnson and Laughing Ole" Olsen, who are down r feet, but have not as yet struck bedrock. In sixty days work they took out about 35 ounces of gold.

CHISELINC
Employers Forced to Two
Millions in Back Wages

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Efforts
of NRA compliance and enforcement
agencies have resulted in restitution
of $788, ,422 in back wages to workmen
between June 16 and September 90,
1884, the NRA compliance division re-
ports. This brings to approximately
100000 the amount of back-wage
restitution obtained through interven-
tion of administration agencies since
the recovery act was passed.
This sum represents the amount re-
paid workers through intervention of
NRA's 4wn agencies, AMI does not in
ciude the wages restored through ef-
forts Of various industries code
authorities. 1t is the difference be-
tween the amounts actually paid
workers as wages and what should
have been paid them under their
codes.
During the period surveyed, resti.
tuition of back wages was made
through NRA intervention in 8,736
cases, involving 35,148 employees. The
total during the first year of NRA
has been estimated at more than
$1,000,O00.
The compliance division pointed out
that it's figure for restitution of back
wages does not include the amounts
of wage increases brought about un-
der code clauses providing for
Reputable adjustment of wages abovs
the minimum. AS an effort is being
made to collect this information.
Preliminary statistics from sur
vey in Indiana, covering nine firms

Newer Organization Favored
For Autos, Cement, Aluminium
Move Hailed Labors Answer to Company Unions And
Red Un0nizatiOn Efforts

San Francisco (ILNS)-In an en-
deavor to advance organization in the
mass production industries, the fifty
fourth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor here
decided to organize such workers along
industrial, rather than strictly craft,
lines.

trial unions featuring closing ses-
sions of the convention, which ended
with the reelection of President Will
liam Green and the entire executive
council, which was enlarged by the
addition of seven new members, MAX
ing council of 18.
The convention continued its boy
colt of German-made goods and serv-
ices and adopted resolution on
demning the appointment of S. Clay
Williams, tobacco magnate, to the
NRA Administration Board.
Adopting as it's slogan and watch
word, "Organize the Unorganized," !"
the convention enthusiastically ap
proved a report of the resolutions
committee favoring the issuance of
international union charters to local
unions in the automobile, cement and
aluminium industries. This action had
been urged by the executive council.
The three new international unions
will have complete autonomy in their
own affairs.
Union Drive in Steel Voted
At the same time, the convention
voted to conduct an aggressive or
ganization campaign in the iron and
steel industries as soon as possible.
under direct A. F. of l.. supervision.
In voting for industrial or ver-
tical unionism in the mass pro-
duction industries, the convention
gave assurance to the craft un-
ions that they would be protected
in their own sphere. Assurance
was also given to mass production
industry workers that craft un-
ions would not seek to take them
over and divide them between the
craft organizations.
Delegates speaking for the resolu-
tion favoring industrial unions pre-
dicted that it would bring hundreds
of thousands of new members to the
labor movement. They hailed adop-
tion of the resolution as organized
labor's answer to the company unions
in the mass production industries as
well as to the competition of COM
munist labor organization.

INDUSTRIAL
Leaders Oppose ROosevelt's
Labor s'Truce"
By A. F. of L. News Service.

BY A. F. of L. News Service.
New York.-According to special
article appearing in the New York
Journal Of Commerce, presumably fol-
lowing an extensive inquiry, industry
will not submit voluntarily to arbi-
tration by the various new labor rela-
tion boards. Neither will industry
enter into a truce with labor on the
terms proposed by President Roose-
velt.
Corporation executives in charge of
industrial relations, it was learned,
have become convinced that the ad-
ministration is more than ever "com-
mitted to the cause Of organized
labor" and industry will not write
a blank check"
Because industrial leaders are op-
posed to the proposed truce, failure
of the presidents efforts in this re-
spect is predicted.
On the other hand, organized labor
through President William Green, OF
the A. F. of L., has announced COM
plete willingness to confer with Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the proposed
truce and to continue its established
policy of cooperating in every pos
sible way with the government.

'In connection with these resolu-

New Condition Faces Labor
''The evidence presented in the

questions involved, there should be a
clear and definite policy outlined by
this convention that will adequately

Roosevelt Hits VOt-
ing Bar Against
Persons on Relief

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt regards as n-Ameri
can any movement or suggestion that
would classify as paupers and bar
from voting in some states, persons
on relief rolls who wish to work but
are unable to do so.
His views came in reply to state
ment that at least IL states had laws
prohibiting paupers from voting.
Under no possible decent concep-
ton could a person willing to work
but unable to find work eclassified

paratively new and are under the con-
troll Of great corporations and aggre-
cations of capital which have resisted
all efforts at organization.
"The provision of the national in
dustrial recovery act protecting the
right of employees to organize and Sc
lect representatives of their own
choice, without interference ON the
part of employers or their agents, has
had the effect of freeing the flood of
organization sentiment existing in the
breasts of millions of workers who
have been prevented by employer op-
position from satisfying their desire
for organization.
Craft Unions Protected
'The American Federation of Labor
is desirous of meeting this demand.
We consider it our duty to formulate
policies which will fully protect the
jurisdictional rights of all trade un-
ions organized upon craft lines and
afford every opportunity for develp-
ment and accession Of those workers
engaged upon work over which these
organizations exercise jurisdiction.
Experience has shown that craft
organization is most effective in pro-
tecting the welfare and advancing the
interests of workers where the nature
of the industry, such as the lines of
demarkation between crafts, are dis
dinguishable.
However, it is also realized that in
many of the industries in which thou
sands of workers are employed new
condition exists requiring organiza-
ton upon a different basis to be most
effective.
Issuance of Charters Ordered
"To meet this new condition the
executive council is directed to issue
charters for national or international
unions in the automotive, cement,
aluminium and such other mass pro-
duction and miscellaneous industries
as in the judgment Of the executive
council may be necessary to meet the
situation.
