in organization were held out as
proper governmental functions to be
exercised In the field of labor rela-
tions, In the annual report of Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins, made public
today.
Labor policy In q democracy" she
said, "is not program conceived by
the Government. It Is a program OF
action which the people who earn
their living as wage-earners and those
who employ them in a profit-making
enterprise must work out together In a
society which develops naturally out
of the work they do and the life they
lead. The function of the Govern
ment Is to serve as a stimulating agent
to facilitate the formation Of such q
policy which will be just and fair
to all the people and in the line Of
human progress"
She emphasized that the Govern
ment ought to arrange that labor
play its part in the study and develop
ment of any economic policies for the
future" and should encourage nlu-
tuality between labor and employers
in the improvement Of production and
in the development in both groups

Machine Job Done
 On Broken Shaft
 In A Local Shop

A three-throW shaft, from a fifty horsepower Standard stationary marine type engine, in the Tweet dredge, located near Teller, brought to Nome by the Mirow Air Service was repaired by the Nome Machine Shop.
 The shaft had been broken and it was necessary to cut off part of an other shaft, balance and face it, and then electric weld the junction where the new part was added, job de- clared by expert machiniSts to be one of the most difficult ever to be tried here.
 The detail necessary for the per feet balancing and making true of the completed shaft required consid- erable time, but the job was turned out speedily and the repaired part shipped back Sunday afternoon. Without the work having been done here at this time, it is doubtful whether the dredge could have com pleted it's season this year. It was reported that the dredge was located in the middle of the creek, with the freeze-up coming on, a situation which was extremely dangerous However, the breakdown has been remedied by Manager w.

7l Passengers Are
 Carried By NAT
 FordPlane Sunday

Sunday, the Ford tri-motored plane of the Northern Air Transport Inc. of Nome took aloft, for sight seeing trips, 71 passengers, in six flights, of approximately ten min utes duration each.
 This is a record for passengers established for any one plane in any one day in Alaska. It is also believed to be record of the num- Der of passengers carried off of any field in the Territoy of Alaska, in one day, and this, after the plane had arrived from Fairbanks.
 The rides were free, donated by the NAT, to introduce their newly purchased Ford plane to the public of Nome. Pilots Wien and Brown veteran fiiers of this country, flew

the ship yesterday afternoon when the flights were made.
 Passengers decried the smooth riding qualities of the plane, after seeing much of the mining country around Nome and even glimpsing the far-away Sawtooth Range, the peaks of which are already well covered with snow, bringing to our attention that winter will soon be here.
 Manager Vic Ross of the Northern Air Transport said that upon the return of the Ford plane from Fair banks, it may be possible that sev- cal more goodwill flights can be made, before the heavy traffic of fall business sets in.

the decision. Squibb refused to let
the document out of his Office on
the plea that he had pledged his
word to representative of the con-
tracing company that he would not
allow his copy out of the office.
Mr.. Squibb, however, graciously
condescended to allow the Carpen-
tiers business agent to read his
copy, but refused to lend it so that
a copy might be typed for the Car
penters' business agent, and fur
ther refused to allow any of his
clerical help to have Squibb's copy
typed there and then, even though
the Carpenters business agent Of
fered to pay right on the spot for
any loss of time, ETC., the Granite
Cutters Union might suffer by such
service.
So our delegate had to go else
where, not reputed labor leader, to
get copy whereby he might gov
ern himself by immediate reference
when necessary. Now we carpenters

leader he turned out to be-"

of the whole agreement. This ar
ticle states: ANY complaints of
violations of this agreement shall
be subject to investigation by such
Board or Boards as are established
by the Administrator. Here the
whole question supposed to be
guaranteed by the agreement is
to be transferred from regulation by
the union to the N. R. A. Boards.
This means that instead of rely
ing upon our organized strength
of our union-for the guaranteeing
Of our conditions of employment, We
would be supposed from now on to
rely on the arbitration boards.
1t has been the experience of the
workers in every industry under the
N. r. A.-especially the main in
dustries in New England, textile
and shoe-that manufacturers carry
through the most wholesale viola
ton of every condition contained
in the N. R. A. agreements, and
that when the workers go to the
N. R. A. Boards to have these
abuses corrected, they get what is
commonly known as the run
around" The workers, in other
words, are referred from one board
to another, from one investigation
committee to another, and are told
to wait and wait for the outcome
OF endless Investigations and studies.
Then, as final upshot, they are
told that nothing can be done and
that they should accept the condi-
lions imposed by the employers.
This procedure has become well
known throughout the country to
working men and women, particu-
larly through such cases as that of
the Weirton Steel and the Houde
Engineering companies, which were
referred to the courts. N. r. A.
tribunals, in which, after months
Of waiting, decisions have been
made against the workers. The
New England shoe and textile
workers. for example, have re-
peatedly been forced to strike
against decisions of the N. R. A.
arbitration boards, which acted in
complete agreement with the man
ufacturers. They have been forced
to strike against wholesale viola
tions of N. r. A. agreements which
employers have carried on because
OF their assurance that they had
nothing to fear from the arbitra-
ton or labor relations boards, and
that the workers, in accordance
with the N. r. A. agreements, would
submit their conflicts with the en-
ployers to such boards, instead of
relying upon direct negotiations be-
tween the union and the manufac-
turers.

QUINCY, Msss.--The letters from
granite cutters which have appeared
in your columns remind me of an in
cident that happened a few months
ago in which Mr.. Squibb, Interna-
tional president of the Granite
Cutters, figured in very dubious
light.
A contracting company, building
a new bridge here in Quincy under
the F.E.R.A. requirements, en-
deavored, and for some time sue
ceeded, to pay an undue proportion
of the carpenters employed at semi
skilled rates Of pay instead of, as
stated in the code, $1.20 an hour A
dispute arose over this and went
to arbitration. Squibb was one of
the arbitrators. presumably labor's
representative on a board of three.
After the decision was given, the
business agent of the Carpenters
Local went to the Granite Cutters
headquarters and asked Squibb for
a loan of Squibb's typed COPY of
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-01-02

1, therefore, want to state that
this arbitration clause would mean
the actual surrender of any control
over conditions by our union and
would mean the placing Of such
control in the hands of the en-
ployers and of MA. arbitra ton
boards, which invariably act in
their interest. 1t is for this reason
that the Concord and Barre
branches have already gone on
record exposing arbitration in any
form.
Rejection Urged
For these reasons I unhesitatingly
advise all members of the New
England branches to totally reject
this proposed MIRA. agreement as
an instrument which would only
make our working conditions worse
than what they are today, and
would weaken the power of our
union.
further want to urge all our
members in the East to demand of
international President Squihb and
the executive council the reason why
the Conference of Eastern Branches
Delegates proposed by Concord and
Barre Branches was not called; the
reason why the other eastern
branches were not informed of the
action Of Concord and Barre
branches; and to take action in
their branches without further de-
lay to elect delegates from the
membership of the branches to such
a conference, which would work out
uniform wage rates and working
conditions, and prepare for direct
negotiations with the manufacture
ers, the time and place of this meet
ing to be fixed as soon as possible.
At our last regular meeting Con-
cord Branch endorsed the coming
National Congress for Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance to be
held in Washington. jan 5. 6 and 7,
1885. The Concord Central Labor
Union has also given its endorse
ment. Present indications are that
there will be large delegations at
the Congress from the trade unions,
fraternal and liberal organizations.
In view of the present widespread
increase in mass unemployment
particularly in our own industry, !
STRONGLY urge every hrar1c tn sim
port and elect delegates to this
Congress, which can be the means
of securing an adequate system of
federal unemployment insurance
for the toiling population of our
great nation.

CONCORD, N. H.-The following
is a report sent in to the Granite
Cutters Journal by Dan Mccain,
Secretary of the Concord Branch of

Nashawena Mill Changes
Styles To Rob Work
ers of Their Victory

By Textile Worker Correspondent
NEW BEDFORD, Mass.-In my
last letter to you Twrote about how
We won strike for higher wages
and less speed-up in the box loom
department Of the Hashawens mill
Well, that particular style has run
out and the boss is putting in style
B 2o58 which runs very bad. For
this particular style we are paid
only s2.O2 per 1901 picks whereas
we got $3.50 for the last style as a
result Of our four-day strike.
This particular style runs so bad
that most of the men running one
or two of the looms with it have
their machines stopped most of the
time. One weaver who used to make
$40 week drew pay envelope Of
only 81 this last week.
So far no action has been taken
by the weavers against this Job al
though there is q great deal Of dis
satisfaction among the weavers.
What is needed is the formation of
a large committee to go and see
the boss and demand that he give
the same rate of pay for this style
that We got for the last style. If he
does not give in to us, then we can
try the old reliable method of max
ing him see our way by stopping
all our looms-that is, going on
strike.
BY the way, want to tell you
that the Daily Worker in which
my last letter was printed was

THANKS A FEARLESS AMER
ICAN NEWSPAPER"

Oceanside, N. Y.
To the Editor of the Daily Worker:
want to convey to you and your
staff my sincerest appreciation for
your untiring efforts in my behalf
in bringing to the attention of your
readers the corrupt conditions which
I discovered as a bonded employee
of terra. while making pre-
audit of commitments in the city
of Cohoss.
Your publication has at least en-
deayored to enlighten the tax-pay-
ers as to how their funds are dis
bursed and the reasons for ever
increasing taxation, m hi in G
which every other newspaper re-
fused to print.
While contracting the vario
papers of this city I received much
encouragement from such publica-
tons as The New York American,
Evening Post, world Telegram,
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Mirror
Brooklyn Times and New York
Times.
When 1 had the good fortune of
reaching the chief editor Of the New
York Times I rejoiced and felt that
the public would now read something
worthwhile, but as in all other cases
all the enthusiasm first shown just
dried up and the story found its
way into newspaper files. In my
humble opinion, every periodical
which I contacted took an un-Amer-
lean attitude in refusing for sundry
reasons to publish it. Perhaps the
tie-up of both major political parties
and the powerful Utilities hindered
the press from exerting their con-
stitutional rights of freedom of the
press.

offered to the press for the past
II weeks but not one saw the in

Greed Of MIL
Kills Weaver
BY Textile Worker Correspondent

BY Textile Worker Correspondent
DANVILLE, Va.-This is an ex-
ample Of the humane interest the
bosses take in the workers who
make their millions for them.
A weaver in the No. weave room
in the Dan River Cotton Mills IN
schoolield. Va, was taken very sick
a week ago Thursday, and he asked
his boss to let him of as he was
sick.
The boss said no, he wasn't sick
enough to go home, and If he went
home or stayed out next day he
would lose his job. This worker, not
having any other way to make a
living and knowing that jobs were
very hard to get, worked rather
than lose his job. He should have
been in bed under a doctors care.
Friday, though he was more ill
than the day before, he went to the
mill and pleaded with the boss to
let him off, but this greedy parasite
said no again, whereupon the
worker, knowing that he was abso-
lutely unable to work, quit his job
and went home.
After going HON and getting a
doctor, he was ordered to bed and
orders were given that very strict
care should be given him, that his
condition was critical.
His condition, much aggravated
by the previous nights work and
exposure, grew rapidly worse and
even the best of care by the doctor
could not save him.
Tuesday, Christmas day, this
worker died and was buried with
flowers and everything; praised as
