California 3O-Hour Week
Law Dies; As Hours Now

Sacramento, Calf. (AFLNS)-At-
torney General Webb, Of California,
rendered decision holding the 30
hour week law covering state, county
and city public construction projects
expired on June 80 and would there
fore 40 longer be enforced on Jobs
now under construction. He ruled that
the only law governing such work Is
the section Of the penal code provid
ing for an eight-hour day and a six
day week.
The lapsing Of the 8o-hour week
law was due to the refusal of the sen
ate in the recent session Of the legis-
lature to continue the emergency 30
hour schedule.
Il was pointed out that unless con-
tractors voluntarily agreed to con-
tinue operations under the present 30
hour maximum work week about
one-third of those now employed on
public works jobs would be dismissed.

CANDLEWICK
Bedspread Bosses Impose
Pay Cut
BY A. F. Of L. News Service.

Dalton, Ga.-Five out Of twenty
five manufacturers composing the
Candlewick Bedspread Corporation
here announced their intention of
forcing a lower minimum wage than
the former NRA rates on the opera
tives in the handmade candlewick
bedspread industry which is centered
in Dalton. 1t was estimated the slash
in the rates which prevailed before
the abolition of the NRA fair practice
code by the U. S. Supreme Court would
take the neighborhood of 100000 an
nually out of the pay envelopes of the
employees, most Of whom make the
spreads during spare time at home.
The cutthroat competition of the
minority was opposed by the majority
Of the concerns making up the Candle
wick Bedspread Association, whose
secretary, G. G. McCamy, urged the
workers not to accept the pay cut
started by five out of twenty-five man
ufacturers.
'The bedspread workers should re-
sist wage cuts as strongly as possi-
ble,' Mr.. McCamy said. If they re-
fuse to work spreads cheaper than
the current rates, they can force these
five companies to pay the fair scale
agreed upon. On the other hand, if
wage cuts are accepted in one section
o. from one company, they will spread
TO all sections and to all companies.

Packers in Two Cities
$500 Workers Strike When Corporation Refuses To
Reinstate Discharged Union Oficers-Sioux Falls and
Ottumwa Out-Boycott Threatens.

Sioux Falls, S. d. (ILNS)-Th Thirty
five hundred members of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of North America walked
out, here and in Ottumwa, Iowa, last
Friday, July 10, because the John
Morrell Packing Co. insisted on firing
20 men for the crime of being officers
and committeeman of the local union
This battle has been brewing for
months Early in March, the Morrell
Company fired 108 men in this plant
No complaint had been made against
their work or skill, but they were
active in the union, and that was
enough for this union-hating company
Governor Berry sent troops; but after
three-days' strike, settlement was
reached by which all but 20 of the
men returned to work. This group,
as said before, included most OF the
officials and committeeman of the
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen
of Sioux Falls.
The cases of these 20 were taken
to the Regional Labor Board at st.
Paul. Hearings were held, in which
the company took part. The board
decided that these men had been dis
crimirated against, that the COM
nanv's action was unjust, and that
the men should be restored to their
jobs within five days.
Company Defies Law
The company refused to obey, and
the case was appealed to the National
Labor Relations Board at Washington,
1t was pending before the NLRB
when NRA was declared unconstitu-
tional. That, of course, ended pro-
ceedings in that quarter.
The dismissal Of these men is such
rank injustice that friends have
sprung up to intereede for them from
every side. Governor, Berry, OF South
Dakota, the u. s. Department OF
Labor, the u. s. district attorney OF
this district-these and many others
have urged with all their power that
the men be reinstated.
But the Morrell Company answers,

laborW and goes on its union-hating
way.
The union is answering by cam
paign which is planned to become
nation wide, urging retail meat deal
ers not to buy Morrell products while
the Morrell Company refuses to deal
with the union. Local unions every
where are beginning to urge this
course on their employers.
