Case Won by Doll and Toy Work
ers' Union Regarded as Hav-
ing Important Bearing.

NEW YORK.-The Doll and Toy
Workers Union has won a clean-cut
victory in its suit against Ralph A.
Freundlich, Inc.
Justice William H. Black, of the ST.
preme Court, has rendered a decision
fully UNFOLDING the legality of a
CLOSED shop" agreement entered into
under Section IA of the National In
dustrial Recovery Act. Rendering the
decision December l, Justice Black
gave the union and the manufacturing
concern a week in which to settle their
differences; under threat that if this
is not done the court will see to it that
the provisions of Section IA are
strictly observed.
Controversy between the union and
the company extended over a year;
then an agreement was reached last
February establishing a closed shop. A
dispute later arose, which was taken to
the Regional Labor Board; the decis-
ion favoring the union. Other dis
putes arose and the company %contended
that Section IA prohibited the closed
shop principle. The company later

Trade Commission calls the publicity

electric and gas utilities. 1t notes the
huge losses to investors in utility Sc
curities (many of them workers and
other low-income people drawn in by

campaigns following the stock mar
ket crash in 1929.
The power trust customer-ownership
campaigns "call to mind real estate de-
velopment and sales methods" says the
report, rather than methods to be en-
ployed in public utilities with their
dedication to public use and their sup
posed limitations to their necessities,
and regulation as to charges and re-
turns. Besides these, there were also
the baby bonds which in some in

stances amounted to trading a bond
for a $40 bill"
Without attempting an exact esti-
mate OF the losses, the F. T. c. says 1T
would probably not be over-stating to
say that the losses to investors
attributable to utilities campaigns for
selling and the increase in price eff
fected thereby we're in the billions"

adopted the so-called Illinois Plain, spon-
sored by the insults, as the model for
their association activities"

new YORK COURT UPHOLDS LEGALITY
OF CLOSED SHOP AGREEMENT UNDER IA

purchased a factory at Clinton, Mass,
to which only a part of the New York
employees moved. The union con
tended that the company was simply
fleeing to another state to avoid its
obligations under the closed shop agree
ment and sued to restrain the COM
pany, winning a temporary restraining
order.
At~the hearing for a permanent in
junction, Ralph Freundlich, president
of the company, agreed to employ
union members both in New York and
Massachusetts,. AS a result Of that
agreement, Justice Black gave the liti-
giants a week in which to compose their
differences. In doing so, the court
definitely laid down the principle upon
which they must try to reach an agree
ment and definitely sustained the legal
ity Of the CLOSED shop" agreement un-
der Section IA OF the MIRA.
Importance is attached to the case
because it is believed the decision Of
Justice Black may have a direct bear
ing upon the final legal establishment
of the principle of the CLOSED shop
agreement under existing laws.
Justice Black said, "If IA is sus-
tanned, better relations between en-
ployer and employee may go forward"

Relief Problem -
Winter Most 9 lous
Ever; Wa$ Green

WASHINGTON. p Report
ing increased trat ion unemploy-
ment in Novembe record num-
Der on part-time President Viii
liam Green Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor warns that "our relief
problem this winter is the most serious
this nation has ever faced" in a state
ment released November 80.
I'VE are entering the winter of 1884
with $4,000 more out of work than we
had at this time last year." says Green.
THE American Federation of Labor
estimate shows 1867, 900 without work
in industry in October 1884, as com
pared to 10,122,O0O in October 1888"
This increase in unemployment is
partly due to the fact that business ac-
tivity in October was 20 per cent be-
low last year, according to Green, but
is also due to the fact that "the effort
to increase employment in industry is
not so general as it wa at this time
last year"
Many even of those who have jobs
ARE finding their incomes lower than
last year," Green declares, due to in
creased part-time work. The Fedora
tion's figures show 70 per cent of
trade union membership working part
time in the first half of November, as
compared to % per cent in October.
The present part-time percentage is
higher than ever before in the his
tory Of our figures"
The percentage of trade union men,
bers unemployed increased from FOL
per cent III October to 21.0 per cent in
November, representing a greater in
crease in unemployment than at this
time last year.
Relief needs are already higher this
winter than last, Green points out, re-
ports from urban areas showing 80 per
cent more on the relief rolls this Oc-
tober than last. In August, the latest
month for which there are complete
figures for the country as a whole, the
number of relief cases had increased by
100000, or 20 per cent over the previ-
Gus August, and total financial obliga-
tons had to be more than doubled.
"This means" Green says, that, in
addition to the increase in unemploy-
ment, those who have been unemployed
for a long time have exhausted their
resources; those who once had savings
are now wholly dependent on relief
He also notes that food prices have
increased and the cost of relief is
greater.

SECRETARY ROPER SUBMITS 6-POINT PLAN
TO CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY
Big Business Easing Fight on MIRA in General, But Still Opposes
Equitable Labor Provisions.

NEW YORK.-Big business, as rep
resented by the Congress of American
Industry Of the National Association of
Manufacturers, is apparently attempt
ing to ease out of its original stand
in opposition to continuance of the prin-
ciple of the NRA after its expiration
next year, but will seek a modified plan.
This result is apparent following a
meeting held at the Waldorf-Astori
Hotel here. Most of the "modifica-
%tions," however, appear to be elimina-
ton of such provisions as the big
manufacturers regard as favorable to
labor, particularly organized labor, with
the renowned Section IA leading the
van of Objectionable features. Big
business insists upon freedom for
business"
Taking cognizance Of the fact that
President Roosevelt really intends to
put forth a sound social security pro-
gram, it was decided to interfere to
the extent of asking the President to
name a group to plan wide social re-
forms.
Among several addresses delivered,
chiefly by speakers having the view
point of big business, that Of Daniel
&c. Roper, U. S. Secretary of Commerce,
appeared to strike closer to reality
from the common viewpoint. This is
particularly true Of his statement that

rious obstacles to accelerated recovery"

Roosevelt Gets A. F.
of [. Resolution On
NRA Appointment

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - The
American Federation of Labor's reso-
luton c%ondemning appointment of S.
Clay Williams as chairman of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Board was
presented to President Roosevelt last
December IA by William Green. It
was adopted last October at the A. F.
of L. convention. Questioned at his
press conference, Roosevelt would
make no comment.
The resolution as adopted calls at
tention to "the improperly of the ap-
pointment of individuals to position I'M
der the National Industrial Recovery
Act whose public record has been one
Of opposition to trade unionism, col
lective bargaining and the principles
and definite provisions embodied in
Section 7 (a) and o."
Williams, a tobacco magnate, is spe-
officially denounced for using his pre-
vious NRA position to prevent adoption
of a tobacco code and, when finally
forced to present a code, suggesting
wages as low as II cents an hour, and
saying that 40 cents an hour is an ex-
cessive wage for skilled workers.
The resolution points out hat in the
cigarette industry, with which Williams
is connected, total labor costs repre-
sent less than 2 per cent Of the whole
sale value of its products, and in the
past II years more dollars out OF prof
its have been plowed back each year
than were paid to the wage workers.

CHAIN STORE WAGE
CHISELING AND UNDER
WEIGHING REPORTED

WASHINGTON. II (FP) - Lower
wages to workers and underweighing
goods to customers are among the
practices which give chain stores COM
p%etitive advantage over independent
stores in many localities, according to
a report Of the Federal Trade Commits
sion based on a six-year study. Chain
store sales in 1929 amounted to about
II billion dollars or % per cent Of all
retail store sales.
Among other factors enabling chain
stores to sell cheaper than independent
stores are: Comparatively less service
to customers, discounts received
through quantity purchases, reimburse
ments for newspaper advertising of
manufactured goods, and use Of less
leader sales below actual cost.

SENATE COMMITTEE GETS CLOSER TO WAR
CAUSES IN PLANNING WALL STREET PROBE

Movie Bares War;
Making; Plot To
Bar 1t Smashed

NEW YORK. -(FP)-The talkies
have finally found something to say.
In The President Vanishes para
mount, the story of what lies behind
war has been told dramatically and
wildly in words Of one syllable that
everybody can understand.
I'VE must ave our investments. We
must make more profits"
That summarizes the causes of mod
ern wars and Walter Wanger, pro-
Queer of The President Vanishes, has
had the courage to show the tieup be-
tween big business and war. But more
than that, he has shown how capital
lists utilize a fascist army for their own
ends and the manner in which the
press bows before the dictates of the
commanders of industry.
So clearly has the role of the press
been shown that the picture has al
ready drawn blasts from William Ran
dolph Hearst, whose recent editorials
show more than lukewarm sympathy
with the fascist movement. Rumors
abound that pressure wa applied from
various industrial and banking groups
to bar the picture and it was kept off
Broadway for a week, but pressure by
World Peaceways and other organiza-
tons broke the deadlock.
Its story is clearcut and timely. War
lis raging in Europe. The big boys meet
in Washington to push America into
the war and snaggle some extra divi-
dends for themselves. An oil baron, a
big investment banker, a steel mer-
chant, a high-pressure lobbyist, a for
mer Supreme Court judge, and the
owner OF a chain Of papers read by
100000, launch their high-pressure
war sales campaign.
The press headlines their carefully
prepared slogan: Save Americas
Honor. Workers meetings are
smashed by Gray Shirt fascist legions
at the command OF the oil baron.
Anti-war demonstrations are scattered
by police clubs. And Congressman
hear the persuasive arguments for war
,os the lobbyist who has millions to
spend in convincing them.
Then the president vanishes. The
nation wildly searches for him. When
he is finally found the people of the
country have learned what goes on
behind the scenes. Congress, bending
to mass pressure, refuses to vote war.
The President Vanishes shows the
big bosses of American industry to be
the vultures they are. 1t minces no
words in showing the f%ascists to be the
tools of the owners of industry. And
it shows the soapboxers to have the
right ideas on the causes of war.
"All Of us-you and you and you-
and l are going to be sent before the
cannon in order hat they may have
more profits" he shouts.
You and you and you, who are going
to be forced to carry the guns if war
comes, must see The President Van
ishes. For only the pressure and
clamor of all the workers is going to
prevent that next war.

Breakdown In Ia
Enforcement Dis
Illusions Workers

KATONAH, N. Y.-(FP)-The
slowness of the Department of Justice
in beginning prosecution of the Houde
Engineering Corporation for It's refusal
to abide by the majority rule decision
of the National Labor Relations Board
will go far to undermine whatever con
fidence labor may still have in the good
faith Of the Roosevelt administration
Throughout the entire history of the
NRA good decisions have been rem
dered meaningless through an utter
breakdown in enforcement.
1t is not that teeth are lacking, if
the administration desires to use them.
The trouble is that the administration
either does not wish to use them, or
fears to resort to them.
Two types of action may be used in
enforcement-O Removal of the
Blue Eagle, and (2) Court proceedings,
Of either a civil OF a criminal nature.
The former action, it is held, is the
function of the Compliance Division of
the NRA, whereas the latter falls
within the exclusive province Of the
Department of Justice.
Removal of the Blue Eagle is a
purely administrative act, and should
follow automatically upon refusal Of an
employer to obey an order of the N. L.
R, B. In his executive order of June
% creating the board, President Roose-
welt declared that any finding of facts
or any order issued by it in any case
involving Section Ia should be final,
and not subject to review by any per-
son or agency in the executive branch
OF the government"
In a statement issued by the presi-
dent the following day, it was empha-
sized that all persons and agencies
must respect the findings and orders
of the board. "This rule is of universal
application" the statement said, and
includes within its scope all permanent
and emergency governmental agen-
cies."
Nevertheless the NRA-which at
that time meant General Johnson in
sisted upon and was granted the right
of Independent review. In the Chicago
Motor Coach Co. case, though the
board had decided that Section Ia had
been violated, johnson sent his own
representative to Chicago to conduct
an Independent investigation.
Just as the NRA may delay the
removal of the Blue Eagle by a sec
ond investigation or by postponing the
actual removal after the decision has
been reached-as in the Hartman
Hosiery Mills case-so it has been

agency for the British and French gov
e%rnments," Page cabled on March 5,
1917. 1T is not improbable that the
only way of maintaining our present
prominent trade position and averting
a panic is by declaring war on Ger
many"
According to sources close to the
committee, the crisis to which Page
referred was due to Great Britain not
being able to meet obligations to Nor
gan for credits amounting to 100000
900. Morgan and other American
bankers lent this money for use by the
allies in buying materials manufactured
by Morgan-dominated companies. The
committee is likely to investigate what
part these loans played as one OF the
causes of United States entry into the
war.

DRIVE FOR CHILD
LABOR AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON. - (FP) "A drive
for ratification of the child labor
amendment to the constitution was
launched December II by President
William Green of the american Fed
Grafton Of Labor, in a letter addressed
to % state declarations of labor.
The amendment has already been
ratified by 20 state legislatures, and
favorable action by 10 more is needed
for the necessary t~hree-fourths ma
jority.
Declaring that ratification by 10
more states in the coming year is n
of the major legislative detectives Of
the A. F. of L., Green asks the labor
bodies in states which have not ratified
to drive emphatically and drive hard"
for action at their state legislatures.
Organized labor must be the instru-
mentality through which the gains
made in the protection of child life
and child labor shall be made per-
manent," says Green. "The evils of
child labor constitute a national mem
ace which can only be successfully
dealt with through the enactment of a
federal statute by the Congress Of the
United States"
Following are the states which have
not yet ratified the child labor amend
ments Alabama, Connecticut, Della
