Whitley Addresses
Delegates

Charles Whitley. a member of the
Engineers Union, a picturesque char
acter, and always a bundle of en-
thusiam, was reinitiated into the Trades
Council Tuesday evening. He couldn't
rest until he had unburdened himself
from all the accumulated fire gathered
in his absence the past year. Whitley
has been such an outstanding figure in
labor circles so many years and enjoys
the confidence of the unions to such
an extent that his presence is always
a source of pleasure to the Central
Labor Council.
Charley went back into the history OF
the Miners Union Day, June 10, and
described how the old Mill & Shelter
mems Union used to place a fine on
every member neglecting to parade

Silver Bow Trades & Labor Council,
Dear Sir and Brother:
You undoubtedly heard Of the strike
which the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, Local No. "a, is
conducting for the past three months
against the Schoenfeld Fashion Craft
Cravat, Dolly Myers, cotton dress and
Olympic Garment Co, cotton dresses
All efforts to settle this strike
amicably either through the RegionaI
Labor Board Of the N. r. Al, on
through other sources proved futile
The Fashion Craft Cravats took out a
restraining order against the r. L. A
to prevent an open hearing on their
case. Our last resort, therefore, is tc
apply to them the good old-fashioned
method Of an effective boycott against
their products.
The Seattle Labor Council placed
these three firms officially on the un-
fair list. We hope that you will con
cur with this decision and boycott the
Fashion Craft Cravat ~neckwear Dolly
Myers cotton dresses, and Olympic
Garment cotton dresses, known as thu
Olympic Girl cotton dress. The three
firms are unfair to organized labor.
Fraternally yours,
ROSE POSOTTA,
Vice President Internationa

PRESIDENTS VETO

A precedent was broken when the
President of the United States saw fit
to deliver in person a veto message to
the Congress. Senator Long, by fill
buster, attempted to prevent the SEN
ate from joining the House in receipt
of the message, without success. With
the galleries jammed, seating and
standing space all occupied, the corri-
doris crowded, throngs on the Capitol

that usually attends delivery of a mes

evening at the Miners Headquarters
82H East Park Street. The delegates
were instructed to notify their respec-

BETTER BANKING

The House rejected the Goldsborough
Amendment which would have liber-
allied the Steagall Banking Bill. How
ever, the Bill itself was such a marked
progress over former banking practi-
ces that most liberal minded House
Members voted for it. The Nye-Swe-
eney Bill, however, for the establish
ment of a central banking system in
our country is badly needed and should
be enacted into law at the earliest pos
sible date.

MRS. KNIGHT FAIR TO UNIONS

The Carpenters Union reported at
the Central Labor Council meeting that
the controversy between that union
and Mrs. Wright, Ola West Park

quest was made by the Carpenters to
have the Council concur in its report.
This means that a settlement has been
made with Mrs. Wright and the unions.

Dear Sir and Brother:
We are enclosing for your informa-
ton, a decision handed down by the
National Labor Relations Board in the
case between the P. H. Davis Tailor
ing Company and the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers OF America.
This decision, which speaks for itself,
orders the reinstatement of the dis
charged worker with back pay.
The Company has not declared its
willingness to abide by the decision
and the matter is now before the Com
pliance Board OF the MIRA, for action,
This may result in the removal of the
Blue Eagle from the firm.
The P. H. Davis Tailoring Company
manufactures mems clothing and sells
direct TO the consumer. They have
statesmen located in practically every
part OF the Country.
This firm has been VIGOROUSLY anti
union and has fought trade unions for
years. Therefore, we hope that you
will print this information in your To-
cal labor paper and take such other
steps so as to inform organized labor
and their sympathizers in your vicinity,
of the difiant position taken by the
Davis Company.

Dear Sir:
Samuel Gompers, a national figure
whose entire life was devoted to the in
~terests Of the worker, was a patriot OF
whom Labor can we'll be proud.
Here is the story Of his life. Il
must be at the same time a story of the
American Federation of Labor. fol
Gompers had no life apart from it
However, as pointed out in the circu-
lar enclosed, this is not a treatise or
labor economics, but rather a human
story, an attempt to place Gompers il
history.
As an organization affiliated witt
the American Federation of Labor, W,
believe that your officers and member
would be interested to know of thi
new book, published May 20, and tina
many will want to purchase copies. w,
hope you will call it to their attention

the code in the s~trictesi ce in rela-
ton to the forty hour and that
consequently no emplo! ould aver

a three-month period. .er this de-
%cision, men who were required to work
overtime one week were compelled to
adjust the number of hours the next
week OIL some following week; for in
stance, if an employee worked forty
four hours one week and this being
four hours in excess OF the code re-
quirements, he was paid time and a-half
for the four hours, but in the next
week or the following week, he was
only allowed to work thirty-four
hours. Six hours were deducted be-
cause the four hours overtime multi
piled by time and a-half pay made six
hours that he was actually paid for,
The officers Of the unions ~contended
when a man was compelled to work
overtime it was emergency work,
otherwise he would not have to work
overtime. The question regarding the
whole matter was submitted to the
National Machinists' Union and the
Metal Trades Department OF the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. According
to the local union officials these or
CARNATIONS presented the matter to the
New York office OF the Anaconda
company. The contention of the local
union officials was upheld, conse-
quently there will be an adjustment OF
hours and wages. The decision is re-
troactive to the time when the Com
pany, through its Legal Department
gave its decision, restricting the actual
working time to forty hours. The
local N. R. A. adjuster and Mr.. Kerr

To All Organized Labor:
GREETINGS:
Members Of Congress are receiving
thousands of kilograms each day from
Manufacturers Employers Organiza-
tons and Chambers of Commerce urg-
ing them to defeat the Wagner Dis
putes Bill. What are you doing to off
set this terrific opposition? Are you
sending kilograms and letters to mem
bers of Congress urging them to vote
to enact the Wagner Disputes Bill
into law?
Inquiry discloses the fact hat since
the passage Of the Wagner Disputes
Bill by the United States Senate Con-
gressmen have been showered with
kilograms and letters by the opposition
but are not hearing from Labor and
those who favor the enactment of this
measure into law. The opposition is
circulating the report that Labor has
quit; that it is indifferent" that il
really does not want the Wagner Dis
putes Bill passed, and for that reason
working people and their friends are
not writing or wiring to members Of
Congress.
This means the situation is seriou.
and that if you want the Wagner Dis.
putes Bill to pass you better become
active, writing and wiring your Con
gressmen, urging and appealing to then
to vote for the enactment of thi,
measure into law.
You must do this NOW becaus,
Congressman will be called upon t.
vote upon this measure very soon
Officers of State Federation, City Cen

friends must send a stream of letter.

UNIONS SUPPORT WAGNER

The Legislative Committee recon-

support the passage OF the Wagner
Connery Labor Disputes Bill, the
Black Thirty Hour Measure, and the
Guffey Bill. The Guffey bill relates to
the sterilization OF the coal industry
and is being supported by the United
Mine Workers of America. The
American Federation of Labor is par

Mrs. Wood Duck turned her head to

May, June and July, the clamor Is
deafening. They seem to gossip con-
tinually, If we can Judge by their loud
conversation.
On the coast of Maine look for the
bassinets on the ground where the
grass is high. And from New Jersey
southwark to Florida, search the salt,
grassy marshes, usually those con-
nected with islands. II you are on
board ship and passing one Of the
large nurseries you would imagine the
brown marshes were dotted over with
patches of snow or clumps of white
blossoms.

and blotched with dark brown. They

The babies are clad in downy birth

TO SAY that Virgie was the belle Of
the ball that night is putting 1t
mildly. Joe didn't even get to claim
the usual first and last dances. She
was cut in on time after time. A con-
slant stream Of husky young truck
drivers from the stag line singled her
out for a short turn. only to relinquish
her at q tap on the shoulder-more
often a good poke-to the next conner.
No debutante at her coming out party
could have been more popular, more
sought after, than Virgie..
II look, strangely akin to fear,
occasionally crossed her happy little
painted face, let us suppose she was
having q slight twinge Of remorse over
the mistakes Of her past life or a
flicker of fear for the uncertain fu-
ture, or perhaps stab of grief at the
thought Of those quick, bitter quarrels
with good old Joe.
Good old Joe fiirted outrageously in
an effort to get even" with Virgie for
her popularity, and got soundly slap
ped for his pains. After that he just
gave up and spent most Of his time
at the bar next door.
The following morning he awoke
heavily. He yawned, he stretched, he
made distressing, smacking noises
with his dry mouth. He found Virgie
sitting disconsolately on the side Of
the bed, in the same attitude as of yes
terday, gazing at her feet stretched out
before her.
He leaned over. He took one good
look. His whole huge body shook.
He laughed out loud. He guf1awed.
"Well. Virgie, old girl, you might a
been the queen of the ball and walkin'
on air last night, but those guys"
he pointed to her feet, blue, black,
skinned, practically mangled and to-
tally unfit for walking purposes
Those guys sure made quick work Of
