Committee from consideration of
his bill.
A score of House members i'm
mediately rushed forward to sign
the petition. If 218 members sign
it, the bill will be brought directly

by Mr.. Patman in the face of the
promise of Administration leaders

bill. which is backed by the
American Legion.
Claiming that majority of the
House has been polled in favor of
payment of the bonus by issuance
of new currency, Mr.. Patman ex.
pected the petition to reveal his
strength in a fight against the
American Legion measure.

Representatives Colmer DO of
Mississippi, Lundern F.-LO of

tition for his resolution, making
it in order to attach the bonus

when it goes to the Senate and
force the Senate to accept it or
do without their salaries.

A victory for organized labor in
it's Senate battle to protect ex-

The McCarran a m e n d m n
would direct the Government to
pay prevailing wage rates" on
all Federal relief projects. This
would be in direct opposition to
the Presidents plan to pay aver
age wages of $50 a month.
Senator Norris, the veteran in.
Surgent leader, said:
81 intend to vote for the Nc
Carran amendment. don't
believe it possible to maintain
two scales of wages in any CON-
munity. The inevitable result
will be that the higher wage
scale must come down to the
lower scale. This would happen
if the President was empowered
to fix a lower scale of wages on
relief projects"
Under Senator McCarran's plan,
the Government would have to
pay prevailing hourly wages in
any community, even though the
total monthly wages might be held
as low as $50 through limitation
of working hours.

UNIONS TORN
BY INTERNAL
RIVALRY
Trouble Over Jurisdiction of
Labor Organizations
Creates DisSenSion
By ALFRED r. NEWBERRY

ny AFFIXED L. NEWbEhNY
lCopyriKht, 1888, by International
News SeFVice)
Trouble is sweeping the ranks
OF the labor unions, a trouble
more deep-rooted and possible OF
more serious consequences to in.
Austrial recovery than the Amer.
ican Federation Of Labor's open
conflicts with President Roose.
welt over pending legislation, the
House Labor Committee disclosed
today.
The dissension has reached
euck a stage that Chairman Con-
merry CD of Massachusetts held
the committee in session for al
most two hours for a round-table
discussion of the situation, al.
though he admitted it was an
internal matter for the fedora
ton to decide"
Overlapping Blamed
Nevertheless the consensus of
the remarks Of committee mem
bers pictured the federation and
the hundreds of unions affiliated
or not affiliated with the fedora
ton as maddened bull being tor
ltAlred by the spears Of internal
and externaf strife that may buck
its horns and run wild in any di-
7ection at any time and possibly
get out Of bounds.
The committee blamed the stu.
alton on the evolution of in.
dustry," causing the overlapping
Of jurisdictions of the hundreds Of
unions, and the evidence it has
gathered of the refusal of the ma
jority Of employers to abide by the
recovery act, and the governments
failure to see that the laws guar
AnteeS to labor are upheld.
Hits Noncompliance
Mr.. Connery held the informal
discussion with Francis j. Cor
man, vice president of the United
Textile Workers, sitting in. Mr..
German said the recovery act
would have been a great boon to
the workers if the employers COM
piled and the NRA forced them to
comply. He admitted it was "un-
fortunate" that the boot and shoe
industry has so many unions and
believed some Of them will ANAL
gamate.
The internal trouble among the
unions is to hold their own trades
men and to bring in others from
other unions.
Mr.. Connery said:
"The trouble, as it has. been
explained to me. is that the
members of old established
unions don't want to enter new
unions and lose the benefits
they have paid for years. All
the different unions are fight
ing for jurisdiction and that's
the big fight the A. F. of L.
must work out ITSELF"
One member stated IAN official
Of one union refused to sit on the
same meeting platform with a
rival unionist." He said this to
show the ill-feeling which is
spreading among the unions.

STEADILY MAKING
HEADWAY IN COAL MINING

In spite of the Roadway made in the
development of gas and the extension
of its use, the soft coal industry in
Montana, which employs several thou
sand men, is making steady progress
toward recovery.
The. United States Bureau of Mines
in its bulletin issued for the first half
of October shows the production Of
bituminous coal for the week ending
Oct. IL to have been $4,000 tons and for
the week previous 1900 tons.
The corresponding weeks in 1884
showed production of 10000 and 81, 600
tons respectively. For the week end
ing Oct IL, 1929, six years ago and Just
previous to the. start of the big de-
preston, the production was $4,000 tons

BLACK MAGIC IN AMERICA

IF you are ever inclined to feel that public
education has been pushed about as far as
it need be pushed in modern America, you
might find it helpful to reflect on these
strange hex" cases that continue to pop up
in Pennsylvania.
The latest is a case lin which a 5-year- old
boy was cured of spell" by witch DOCTOR
The fact that the child, after being cured"
got a butcher knife and carved his 8-month-
old brother almost to death, does not shake
the parents faith in the, efficacy of the hexer's
mumbo-jum
Now Pennsylvania is far from being
backward state. The general level of intel
hgence and education there is probably above
the national average.
Yet even in Pennsylvania there lingers this
relic Of medieval belief in black rlagic!
Could there be a more ST king example
of the need for broader and more thorough
educational policies?

OLEO TAX WILL WORK
HARDSHIP ON NEEDY

By NJ. E.
They have added another link to
our tax chain, which will eventually
weigh down the laboring class of
Indiana.
I am referring to the scent oleo
tax which passed the House by a
vote of 51-36. God bless the SO.
Their hearts are in the right place,
but for the 81, may their souls rest
in grease"
Of all the laws to be passed by
our present Legislature, why choose
one that imposes an additional
burden on the underpaid man?
Butter is colored artifcially. Cleo
is not. Users of oleo have to color
it, or use it as purchased. Why not
add a tax on artifcially colored but
ter? Let the man who is able to
pay 40 or so cents a pound for but
ter help carry the burden.
In fact, I am in favor OF taxing
non essentials and leaving the es-
sentials alone. The man Of moderate
means has more than his share TO
c. ny, so why add deprivation to
.llsery?
