Walkout Monday


DETROIT, Feb. 1.-The growing
resistance Of auto workers to Prssi-
dent Roosevelt's extension Of the
industry's open shop code fisred
into partial open struggle yester-
day as 500 maintenance men went
on strike at the Murray Body plant
here.
The walkout followed on the heels
Of 4 strike by wet sanders at the
Fisher Body plant in Lansing which
involved some $500 men by the
closing Of the Fisher plant and the
Odds Motor plant.
The strike movement is expected
to spread steadily from shop TO
shop.
The City Council Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor automo-
bile unions here is expected to con-
slider a general strike vote on Nom
day.
Auto unions in Cleveland and
Flint were preparing today to give
their utmost support to the two
strikes while considering their own
strike preparations.
Extension Of the auto code now
in effect has already produced an
increase in part time work and part
time pay, The supposed provision
OF time and q half for all over
time exceeding forty eight hours is
proving to be a mere paper con-
cession, since President Roosevelt
has admitted that ct is true that
most employees can work only
forty-eight hours"
With two strikes under wsv and
the resistance of the auto workers
to the extension Of the code on the
hourly increase, William Green is
proposing further delays BY calling
for Congressional investigation as
a substitute for strike action.

ter of Bella Kun's in which that
great revolutionist spoke out
against the war upon Czechoslo-

the judge implied, proved that the
Communists were against the war,
against war generally, and hence
were guilty of treason!
THE revolutionary government"
Rakosi explained, had no intention
of continuing a world slaughter
provoked by the imperialists. In
whatever way the Czechs and
Slovaks had suffered injustice at
the hands of the Austrian Hun
garian empire, we were anxious to
remedy it, and the first condition
was the ending of the bloody strug-
gle. The correctness of our national
policy was proved in the 1923 cleo
tions when the candidates of II
parties were on the ballot and the
Communist Party received 40 per
cent of all the votes"

RYAN ADMITS
STRIKE MOOD
Plans To Shift Fight To
Courts and Away
from Wakout

Joseph P. Ryan, president Of the
international Longshoremen's ASso-
citation admitted yesterday that
wholesale firing Of union truckmen
and wage cuts as a result Of the
Humphrey anti-labor injunction is
driving the workers to act over the
heads Of the high officials In his
and the tesnsters' union, for q
strike next week.
eff the injunction Is signed,
there Is no telling what will hap
pen," Ryan said. eff those men
fear that they will lose their jobs,
they will not listen to the leaders.
Why, If tried 10 stop a demon
stratiOn In that event, they'd be
likely to throw me out and put
someone else In my place"
Ryan's statement was in an ef-
fort to explain defiance Of the in
junction and the refusal Of long
shoremen to handle freight trucked
by non-union teamsters, and shift
away responsibility from himself
In the same statement he indicated
the scheme Of the top union Off
Gals for heading off a strike.
"The only thing that might save
the situation in the event the In
junction is signed" he continued,
would be If II carried the right
to appeal and stay pending de-
termination Of the appeal"
The Ryan Plan
This, apparently, Is the plan OF
the reactionary officials for head
ing off the strike, a movement that
seems inevitable If Justice Humph-
rey signs the injunction again to
shift the struggle to court wrangles.
Rank and file teamsters point out
that this will give trucking COM
panies and shippers additional time
to prepare against the workers, and
wholesale firing and wage cuts will
continue as in the past month.

Makes Show of Resist
ance at Hearing in
Washington

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. l.
William Green, pressed by tire pro
test Of the auto workers has at
tackled the extension by Roosevelt
Of the anti-labor auto code.
He said, I'VE protest against this
code. We will not accept it, not
recognize it, not yield to IT," when
testifying before the senate judiciary
subcommittee considering the Black
shfrty-hour week bill. This state
ment followed the extension by
Roosevelt Of the auto code until
June Is.
Roosevelt, in extending the code,
retained the merit clause" which
gives employers the sole right to
fire and hire, allowing a free hand
for discrimination against union
men.
Roosevelt also disregarded the de-
mands of the A. F. of L. unions.
and officially embodied the Auto
Labor Board as a part OF the code.
He declared in his amendment to
the code that "the members of the
industry will comply with the pro-
visions and requirements for the
settlement of labor controversies
which were established by the gov
eminent and have been in operation
since March, 1884, and which are
hereby confirmed and continued"
Roosevelt decreed two "conces-
sions" which we're an obvious at
tempt to sugar coat the bitter pill.
These meaningless concessions
called for time and one-hslf pay
only for time worked over 4S hours.
The second concession" stated
"the members of the industry are
requested and authorized to enter

nat, but Is now turning upward. From
whence has 1t been gathering strength
for q new leap into activity? It is no
exaggeration to say from no source
more important than from new ap-
plications Of chemistry.
Labor Cost Cut Needed.
1.-THE greatest need is q material
saving Of labor cost per unit of build
ing, whatever the unit might be. No
one begrudges labor its wages, but to
expand the building industry there
must be . way Of getting work done
without lowering wages Of manufac-
ture Of building products, since these
earners must buy the homes and
buildings.
These new things take time for
development. The lull in business has
given just the space needed for re-
search, for development and for time
trials-all essential for success, par
ticularly in this field.
THE purpose Of this symposium Is
to show the public that science and
its applications never stop for de-
pressions. These only intensity busi-
ness faith in the comeback. The
public will see that every field Of
building and construction effort Is
bringing out new materials, whether
1t is in metals. ceramics. paints or
alloys"

Thirty-five clubs and associations
with groups in virtually every State

to the movement to focus the atteu-
ton of the women Of America upon
the Importance and value Of the bet

proach to the women Of the country

porate existing women's committees
with women's divisions In better houS-

In every locality plans are under
way to carry the message OF better
housing to meetings Of organizations
that pledge interest and cooperation.
Either a woman field representative,
chairmen of women's divisions. or
others will address such groups Of
women to acquaint them with the

has been concentrated on women be-
cause they are the actual homemakers
and are credited with the expendi-

GAIN IN BUILDING
SHOWN IN REPORT
Increase Noted, but Held
Far From Enough to
Reach Recovery.

The Alexander Hamilton Institute
reports that building contracts during
the first quarter Of the year, on the
basis Of the r. w. Dodge Corporations 8
figures, showed an increase Of l3.5
per cent over the same period . year
ago, and an increase Of 5l.9 per cent
over the first quarter Of 1898. when
building activity was at the low for
the depression.
Building activity. however, Is still
far from the volume which will rep
resent full recovery. This Is shown
by the fact that contracts during the
first quarter Of this year amounted
to only II per cent Of the volume In
the corresponding period Of 1928,
when building activity was at the pre-.
depression peak.
There Is still little indication Of the
development Of any satisfactory ac-
tivity In the building field during the
remainder Of the year. This fact is
sumcient to restrain enthusiasm over
the general business outlook since q
large volume of building is necessary
for any pronounced economic recovery.
The cost Of building is still too much
Evening star., 1935-04-27

Of an obstacle. While costs relative
to rents are less burdensome than
year ago as the result of slight rise
in rents. the spread is still too great
to permit profitable building opera
tions. On the basis of 1925 as 100, the
rent index In March was $40, whereas
the cost Of building index was ESQ.
It u not likely that much progress
will be made toward the elimination of
this spread during the remainder of
the year. A rise in rents Is always a
slow process and the high cost Of food
will make 1t difncult to reduce wage
rates not only Of building labor but Of
labor engaged in the manufacture of
building materials.

A boom In the building industry
generated by chemical science was
predicted by Prof. James r. Withrow
Of Ohio State University in an ad-
dress before the Building Industries
Symposium Of the American Chemical
Society, which celebratec this week
in New York the three hundredth
anniversary Of the founding of the
Nations chemical industries.
The creation by chemical science
Of better and cheaper materials than
those provided by nature will be the
basis of the advance, which is al
ready gathering force, according to
Prof. Withrow, chairman of the SYM
postum.
A sharply increased demand for all
types of building materials within the
last few months, Prof. Withrow
asserted, led him to the conclusion
that large amount Of unemploy-
ment would be taken up within the
next few months throughout the
country.
Money for Labor.
Announcing many new and "revo-
lutionary" types Of building mate
riaIs, which have been evolved In the
laboratories by research chemists
within the last year and which are
about to find practical application in
construction, Prof. Withrow held
that their comparative economy
would divert a large part Of the
monies expended for improvements
into the pocket Of labor.
These discoveries and refnements
"allow better and yet cheaper con-
struction," according to Prof.
Withrow, who said that lowered ulti-
mate costs seem to be the solution
which will bring a great develop
ment."
Increased comfort. health, safety,
convenience and beauty in future
buildings were envisioned at the SYM
postum in the announcement by rep
resentatives of the building and al
lied industries.
Mineral woods recently have been
evolved from the waste products Of
mines and the relative cost Of pro-
ducing them is so small, it was said,
that now entire buildings can be insu-
lated against extremes Of heat or
cold at little cost.
