Canadian Food Consumption

Ottawa (ILNS)-The business re-

led by declines in the consumption OF
foodstuffs. The quantity of Atlantic
fish shipped by railway during the first

than during the like period of 1888.

pert, B. c., were down rs per cent

80 per cent.

Total Of Idle Still
Gaining, Green Reports
No Improvement Shown Up to Mid-August, Labor Head
Says-Relief Rolls Declared to Show Critical Nature
Of Unemployment Problem.

Washington, D.. C. (ILNS).- -Unem-
ployment continued to increase up to
mid-August, according to American
Federation of Labor estimates, based
on government indexes, President Will
liam Green, of the federation, reports.
"The critical nature of our present
unemployment problem is shown by
the relief rolls" President Green said.
"In June this year, the number of
families on relief was 3,716,755 (pre-
iiminary), almost as many as in June
last year when the figure was $780,
026; preliminary reports for July in
dicate that relief need was greater in
Toward the end Of August and the
July than June, and well above the
level Of July of last year"
first part of September Green fur
ther said, industry began to quicken
it's pace somewhat with the fall busy
season, but thus far employment gains
this year have been far less than last
year.
SIN August, the number without
work in industry was 10,834,00O (pre-
liminary) compared to 10,793,000 in
July (revised). The dull summer sea-
son in retail stores added 100000 to
the unemployed, and the drought on
farms meant loss of work for nearly
$4,000 farm laborers; railroads drop
ped 1900 from their payrolls. These
employment losses more than offset
the slight gains in industries where
the fall busy season was already be-
ginning.

City Fathers Picket

Bessemer City, N. C.-This mill
village claims the unusual distinction
of all of it's mills closing in the strike,
and of it's city councilmen, school
in the picketing of the mills. There
board and other public officials joining
were no disorders; it was an orderly
and quiet strike. Several of the city
fathers and school board members
are mill workers too. An effort was
made to have troops sent here, but
they were not wanted and there was
no need for them.

In September, trade union figures
show fall actively increasing. Reports
from unions in "a cities, covering the
first half of the month, show that
members were finding few tempo
rary jobs in street transportation,
water transportation, manufacturing,
clothing trades, theatres and print
ing, but employment gains were small
August and September this year
show strong contrast to the same
months last year. In August last year,
100000 went back to work in the
presidents unemployment program;
this year no effort was made to cre-
ate jobs and unemployment increased
by 10000.
"The number unemployed in Au-
gust, 1884, was back almost to the lev
el of August, 1888 Our estimate,
based on government figures shows
1O,834,0O0 out of work in August this
year; in August last year, 10,960, 900.
Government emergency work gave
employment to 2,249,000 in August
625,0C0 on PWA, $4,000 in conser-
walton camps, and an average of L.
267,000 on the ERA emergency re-
lief work program. This is nearly
100000 more than in July, chiefly in
the ERA work program. Deducting
those on emergency work from the
total without work in industry we find
that $685. 900 were without jobs of any
sort"

Three Labels Used on All

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-I have
just come from visit to the great
plant of the Brown & Williamson To-
bacco Corporation at Louisville, KY,
where the company's 5000 employees
have recently organized into local
union of the Tobacco Workers Inter
national Union.
The Brown & Williamson unioniza-
tion is one of the most amazing events
in the rapid fire history of the last
year and half.
After some brief preliminary dis
cussion with friends and after thor
ough discussion among the plant
executives, it was determined that the
company would operate on strictly
union basis. Over night the great
plants turned to unionization and to-
day there is not a single worker in
the plant who is not a good-standing
union member

Police Stop Meeting of
Striking Book Workers

New York.-Police interruption of
meeting of striking employees of the
Macauley Company, book publishers,
has been emphatically protested to
Mayor La Guardia. The meeting,
scheduled for Monday, September "a,
in front of the company's offices, got
under way but was not completed.
Although the committee said it had
permission to hold the meeting at the
corner at noon, the police halted the
demonstration. The strike committee
asserted that Lauren Gilfillan, author
of ~ went to Pit College," was pulled
down as she stepped into chair to
speak. Eventually the meeting was
held across the street.

Outstanding Human Beings

1t is less than year since the COM
pany agreed with it's employees to
operate on union basis. Today the
products carry the union label Of the
Tobacco Workers and the labels of the
Allied Printing Trades and the Photo
Engravers. Machines for the attach
ing of union labels were installed .on
all of the automatic packaging ma
chinery as rapidly as they could be
secured and, during my visit, the last
of these attachments were being in
stalled.
l went through the plant from top
to bottom. Order and neatness pre-
vail everywhere. Never have l seen
a work-force of finer average appear
ance. Here is no cotton mill crew Of
under-paid men and women. Here is
a crew Of workers who are fairly
paid, mostly above the union scale,
who work an 8-hour day five days
week and who look the boss in the
face as human beings like to do when
they have no fear and when they
know their job and like it.
