GEORGIA LABOR
Head Flags Resort to War

Atlanta, Ga. (ILNS)-"Organized
as well as unorganized labor must
raise their voices in insisting that
international Misunderstanding be
settled without the necessity of war;"
said A. Steve Nance, president of the
Georgia Federation of Labor, speaking
before the Institute of international
Relations in Atlanta.
Denouncing selfish groups who are
always ready to involve the country
in war in order to attain their aims,
he continued: "The leaders of labor
are beginning to realize and under
stand that there must be solution
to many of our international prob
lens before there can be a solution
Of many Of our domestic problems.
and they are fast reaching the
conclusion that in finding the solu-
toin to these international problems
they must consider, weigh, and an
alyze these problems for the workers
of America"
| Declaring that Labor knows too
well where the burden of the useless
war will be placed, and that not only
the lives of the workers engaged will
be sacrificed but the very standards
Of living of all Of the workers will
be lowered and retarded in paying
for the cost of such war" President
/ Nance said that therefore in the
future the workers will more and
more raise their voice in insisting
that international misunderstanding
be referred to courts of Cancellation
and arbitration instead of permitting
these misunderstanding to drift to
the point of settlement by the sword

lations in Atlanta is one of nine being

Holding Company Stocks
Show Tremendous Losses
Federal Power Commission Report Reveals Securities
of 25 Leading Utility Concerns Lost 85 Per Cent of 1929
TOP Value Before Present Administration Took Office

Washington, D. G.. (ILNS)-The
federal power commission recently
compiled some figures on the market
prices Of stock of utility holding
companies. This was done at the re-
quest of Congressman Sam Reyburn,
chairman of the house ways and
means committee, and Mr.. Reyburn
put them into the Congressional Rec
ord
The power commission took the rs
chief holding companies in the utility
field, found the top price of their
securities in 1929, and then looked
up the price at which those same Sc
curities were selling on March |, 1888.
The result Of its findings is summed
up by Mr.. Rayburn thus:
'In 1929, these 25 holding COM
panias had securities outstanding
with nominal market value of $19,-
245, 5,l57,757. BY the end of Feb
ruary, 1888, just before the present
administration came into office, these
same securities had declined to a
market value of $2,879, ,034, ,949. This
represents a shrinkage Of more than
SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS in
the value of the securities of these 25
holding companies before Franklin D.
Roosevelt became president. 1t rep
resents a loss of IS per cent of their
market value at the height of the
boom period"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1935-07-12

The smallest loss sustained by the
common stock of these companies was
a drop of 5000 per share in the
stock Of the Niagara Hudson Power
Corporation. Ten of the 25 holding
companies lost more than 500 per
share. Stone & Webster, Inc, lost
$10715 share during the period in
question; Class B stock of the United
Light& Power Co. lost $122; Column
bia Gas & Electric Co., $129; Con-
solidated Gas Co. of New York,
$13765.
Not to give too much space to the
matter, Electric Bond & Share Co.,
sometimes called the Mother of the
Power Trust" lost $177.50 in the
market value of its stock from 1929
to 1888; American Gas & Electric lost
1896 per share.
The chief cry of the power COM
panies which are fighting the hold
ing company bill is that such meas
ure would lower the value of stocks
held by great numbers of small in
vestors. One glance at the facts
here cited shows that under the man
agement of Wall street, with no yes
tige of government control and not
even pretense of government 'in-
reference" investors in holding
company securities lost from 1929 tc
1888, an average of 85 cents on the
dollar, and had less than three bill
lion dollars of market value left out
of more than nineteen billions.

AUTO EMPLOYERS
FEAR TRUTH
Afraid to Permit Employees
To Hear Gospel of
UniOnism

Detroit (ILNS)-How automobile
manufacturers strive to prevent radio
transmission Of the message of trade
unionism was illustrated recently
whenF. j. Dillon, American Fedora
tion of Labor general organizer, spoke
to mass meetings of automobile
workers in Muncie and Anderson, Ind,
the homes of General Motors trans
mission and electrical equipment
plants.
The addresses were scheduled to be
broadcast over the local radio sta
tions, but when Organizer Dillon ar
rived in Muncie he discovered that
for some unexplained reason the
broadcasting arrangements had been
cancelled without any notice being
given to the local committee, although
rumor had it that the managements
of the General Motors and Ball
Bros. Glass Company plants in the
city were responsible.
The broadcasting arrangements
proceeded as scheduled in Anderson,
but it was learned from the manage
ment of the station that one of the
local Chevrolet sales agencies had
called on the telephone to express
surprise that the broadcast had not
been cancelled there also because they
had received a telegram from New
York informing them that such would
be the case.
Commenting on the Muncie and
Anderson Incidents, Dillon said:

Lynn Shoe Manufacturers
Force Wage Cuts on 5000
By A. F. of L. News Service.

.
Lynn, Mas.-Faced with a threat
of shoe manufacturers to move their
plants from Lynn because of high
wages paid here, about 5000 boot and
shoe workers took pay cuts ranging
from TIE to 121a per cent.
A number of large manufacturers
claimed that Haverhill plants were
operating under a recent 121a per cent
wage cut and Boston factories were
working with 10 per cent reduction.
These slashes, they said, made it
impossible for Lynn manufacturers to
compete in prcies. They therefore
demanded that Lynn shoe workers
should take the same dose as the
Haverhill and Boston workers had
taken. Otherwise, the Lynn manufac-
turers would move their plants to
some low-wage region.

Governor Criticized
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, of New

who objected to speeches he made
urging caution in negotiating labor
compacts lest the contracting states
find themselves bound by agreement
that might drive industry to othel
states, and advising New Jersey dele
gates not to sign the campacts
adopted without giving them thorough
consideration.
Strong resentment against Hoff
mans speeches, and against the OPP
position to labor compacts exerted bS
New Jersey manufacturing and EN-.
ployer groups in protests to the con
ference, was expressed in discus
sion led by the Massachusetts dele
gates.
They made it clear that they re-
garded New Jersey, despite its rolt
as host of the conference, as playing
reactionary part that had beer
