smallest of the debtors, whose total
obligation amounts to $8,726,645, is
expected to meet it's current in

who owes $1,000, 900, 900, and is
due to pay $59.OO0,00O Italy,

GAG RULE

Speaker Rainey today declared
the autocratic gag-rule, imposed
to end Republican filbuster on
pending legislation. was justified
because of the attempted "sabo
tagging" of the recovery pro-

From now on, legislation
will proceed in an orderly

Smell (R), of New York, minor

with violating the rules of legis.

clared:
1.-THE Democratic party is re-
SpOnsibIe for this legislation.
They could not permit the re-

by the minority. The result
was the rule which ended the

CALLED To
ARMS
National Conference Is Told
Citizenship Fundamentals
Are Endangered

Charging that the gag" rule
brought in by the Democratic
leadership of the House consti-
tutes a "throwback to the despot-
ism of czaristic Russia" Repre-
sentative Clarence ]. Mcleod
(RO of Michigan today appealed
to bank depositors not only to
support his bank pay-off bill, but
to protect the interest of Ameri-
can citizens.
Addresses DepositOr Group
Mr.. Mcleod addressed the
opening session of the National
Bank Depositors Committee con-
ference at the Raleigh Hotel
which was attended by bank de-
positors from all sections of the
country who have suffered as
the result of bank failures.
Reviewing the unprecedented
parliamentary maneuverS used to
thwart the demands of the pub
lie" by preventing a vote on the
Mcleod bill, the Michigan Repre-
sentative declared:
"The Democratic leaders have
robbed millions of our citizens
of all the rights inherent in
a democratic government as eS-
tabliShed by our Constitution,
but neither the leaders nor
those in the House over whom
they have cracked the whip can
expect to steal this power from
the people with impunity."
He declared that the danger of
the tactics of the House lead.
ers not only extends to the bank
pay-off bill. but goes to the very
fundamentals of American con-
ceptS of government"
Urges Appeal Back Home"
Mr.. Mcleod continued:
Il appeal to you as representa-
tive American citizens when you
go back home to warn your
friends and neighbOrS of the
threat which now exists to all
that Americans in the past have
held to be the essentials of
free people.
Il urge you to work not only
for passage of the payOff bill,
but for restoration to the peO-
pie of their rights to be repre-.
scented in the Congress of the
United States"

address the two-day conferences
are Representatives Hamilton

Jersey, and Louis T. McFadden

Smoke of battle lowering over
the Republican filibuster on the
Mcleod bank bill broke slightly
today when Speaker Rainey de-
MED charges of G. o. P. leaders
who had accused him of ignoring
a point of no quorum.
Should his denial be accepted
as move toward partisan peace,
political commentators point out,
the path might be paved for a
vote on the Mcleod bill despite
adoption of yesterdays drastic
gag rule.
Opinion was equally divided as
to whether the Speaker intended
his statement to be a conciliatory

3O-HOUR WEEK IS SET AS GOAL
FOR WHICH LABOR WILL FIGHT
A. F. of L. Convention Votes Unanimously for Placing Workers on
Six-Hour Day, Five-Days Week, Without Wage Reduction;
VIII Promptly Relieve Unemployment and Aid Prosperity of All

San Francisco, Calif.-The American
Federation Of Labor has definitely gone
on record as favoring the six-hour day
and five-day week, without reduction
ia existing wage scales, for all wage
carriers OF America, for which it will
fight earnestly as n Of the outstand-
ing planks in its program OF progress.
The subject came before the 54th an
nual A. F. of L. convention here form
ally with the report of a special COM
mittee, read by its secretary, John Sim
ons, in which approval was given the
proposal to re-affirm the shorter work
week policy adopted two years ago. The
committees report also insisted that
there must not be a reduction in week
~ wages. The report was adopted by
unanimous vote of the delegates.
viii Support Law
The report declared tAat the shorter
work week must now be "the paramount
purpose" Of the Federation, and the
executive council was called upon to
spare no efforts to have this legisla-
ton enacted.
Maintaining that the right to a
job was a fundamental right, the re-
port asserted that only on the basis

FERA WORKERS AND
HOURS OF LABOR

1t was reported at the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council that women
workers on the FERA and the Packing
Plant were working 10 hours on Sun
day. 1t was stated that the reason
given was that the women had to work
10 hours to get in enough hours to meet
their budget. Budget or no budget we
have an eight hour law in Montana
regarding women workers and the
FERA workers should not be exempt
from these laws. It would be a bet
ter example to set before private in
dustry if the women were paid the ten
hours and worked only eight, especially
since our government is advocating
this procedure for private business.
The Council is investigating the report.
1t was also reported that some of
the men working on FERA at the Pack
ing Plant have not received a pay check
in seven weeks. They are told that
the Checks haven't arrived from Hell
ena. 1t is high time that some Of the
offices in Helena are investigated. 1t
is a crime that men who work out their
relief must work seven weeks and then
not have enough money to pay their
bills. Some one is lax somewhere and
the relief offices in charge of FERA
work should investigate or be investi-
gated.

In addressing the A. F. Of L. Conven-
ton, w. A. Axton OF the Axton Fischer
Tobacco Co. said
This is not the first time that | have
been honored by the American Fedora
ton of Labor. When you held your
convention in Cincinnati some years
ago, your great president, Samuel Com
pers, whom l considered a personal
friend, honored me with an invitation
to address your convention. Today
your great president, William Green,
has repeated hat honor. AS | look
at the pictures OF Sam Gompers and
Viii Green above this platform and the
wonderful picture Of our great president
of the United States, feel highly COM
p%limented to be here.
Here in this audience I see +. Lewis
Evans, president OF the Tobacco Work
.ers International Union Of America.
It was over thirty-five years ago that
Mr.. Evans came to my factory to or
ganize it. | can say to the benighted
employers OF labor who think organic
ed labor is bad, that after operating a
union factory for thirty-five years, Mr..
Evans and | are still friends.
In looking over this gathering Of
delegates who have been selected to
come to this convention to help work
out our economic problems, l see some
who can remember when the mar on
the farm cut his wheat with the scythe
and cradle and frailed it out on the barn
floor. When the planning mill, if any,
was a very crude affair, a sanding belt
unknown. When we had no telephones
electric lights, no generators or steam
hoists, no power elevators and a thous-
and other labor-saving machines we
now have were unknown in the mem
DRY Of many men here.
Today in u factory we have mach
ines that can make as many cigarettes
in a minute as a skilled workman can
make by hand in a day. | think I am
undertaking when l say that a million
men working in the different branches
of industry can produce as much as
ten million men could fifty years ago,
which is another way Of saying, that
the average man can produce ten times
as much as he could then, at which
time the percentage OF profit was
enough. Therefore, if men are produc-
ing ten times as much as they did so
years ago, they must have ten times as
much purchasing power, for if labor
produces ten times as much, and can
only buy back five times as much, we
are going to have so-called over-pro-
d%uction, and unemployment is sure to
result. Then purchasing power vanish
es, which means o unemployment.
This oon produces the vicious circle
we found ourselves in two wears ago.

PERKINS SAYS PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO FORCED AGREEMENTS
DRIFTS AND RAISES
(This column contributed by Butte
Miners Union No. u

The local Relief situation tends to
become progressively worse. 1t would
appear that the people who are res
ponsible for the size OF the Budgetary
allowances must have recently gradual
ed from Bernar McFadden's raw car
rot and cracked wheat school of Diet
etics. Apparently, the health and bodi-
" welfare of the children of unemploy-
ed families does not concern these peo-
pie at all. There is no provisions made
to furnish these unfortunate children
with milk, which is their natural and
necessary food; and that is not all. We
have numerous records OF well authen-
ticated cases, reciting the fact that
children, and in some cases adults were
compelled to remain in bed during the
cold snap that accompanied our first
snow storm, to conserve the heat in
their undernourished bodies, because
OF a shortage or total absence OF fuel.
This, and similar conditions cannot
be permitted to continue. In a country
such as ours, which is capable of pro-
ducing, and has produced an abund-
ance Of everything necessary to the
needs and happiness of the entire popu-
lation it becomes the imperative duty
oil everyone to do his or her bit to see
that every man, woman and child in
this United States shall have access to
a sufficient amount of this product land
no more) to keep them healthy and
happy - we'll fed, we'll clothed and
well housed all the time. To this end
we must work for the enactment of
Old Age Pension and Unemployment
Insurance laws in both the State and
National legislatures as the quickest
and surest means of attaining a meas
ure Of Economic independence.
Let these weekly and /or monthly
allowances be in a sufficient amount
to provide d~ecently, for each individual
or family and we Immediately thereby,
restore the purchasing power OF the
people and make it permanent. Pro-
badly, inside Of six months the I'm
employment Insurance payments will
have practically ceased, because unem-
ployment will have become largely non
existent as a result Of the efficacy Of
thu Old Age Pension law, which would
take the older people entirely out Of
Industry and make them assets instead
of liabilities to the community.
Let us boost for these laws and
pledge the Legislative candidates in the
coming election to their enactment.
in the meantime, let us use u organic
ed endeavors to have the local budgets
increased, at least correspondingly with
the increased cost OF living; and in adj
dition to this that sufficient fuel and
clothing be furnished the people in need
so that no one will suffer the pangs
OF cold and hunger this coming winter
in the shadow of the richest hill on
earth.

SOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRESS ABROAD

clude old age pensions, health, invalid
ity and accident insurance.
The non-contributory pension plan,
formerly administered by the poor re-
lief authorities, has been transferred
to the sscial insurance system. All
members of the sickness insurance
funds, who automatically are insured
against invalidity, will henceforth be
entitled to old age pensions also. Per-
sons who had reached the age of 90
when the Act cam into effect are in
cluded, ever though not insured. The
eligible age is placed at 65, except in
the case Of i'll health or incapacity to
work, when the minimum age is 90
years. Provisions for increased allow
ances are made for those who postpone
the time when pensions begin.
The local administration of the pen
sion system is placed in the hands Of
Social Welfare Committees. The cost
incurred is borne AZ by the state, 81
