CLERKS UNION
MERGER HELD
IMPOSSIBLE
BY J. EARLE MOSER


Despite willingness of members
of the two major Federal en-
ploye unions to cooperate in con-
structive moves, any future
amalgamation or merger of the
American Federation OF Govern
ment Employees and the National
Federation of Federal Employees
is considered a practical impossl-
bility.
There are a number of reasons,
but the principal issue is the
American Federation of Labor,
with which the AFGE is affiliated
and to which it owes its birth. The
bitter feeling between the A. F. l..
and NFFE, which sprang up when
the organization led by Luther c..
Steward withdrew from utilization
in 1882, still exists and has shown
no signs of diminishing.
Following a number of requests
for an expression from members
of his federation, however, Presi-
dent E. Claude Babcock of the
AFGE today indicated a willing
ness to enter into negotiations
for reconciliation, saying:
sour offer of consolidation in
1888 was turned down by Mr..
Steward with vituperative criti-
cism of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and of its preSi-
dent, William Green. May l
say also that we belong to the
American labor movement and
as long as the NFFE is outside
the fence nothing can be done.
However, we are willing to
enter into any reasonable pro-
cedure that might lead to con-
SOlidation."
The General Accounting office
credit union is proving a real aid
to SubordinateS of Mr.. McCarl.
During April the association lent
$500 to needy members and had a
total of 5000 in outstanding
loans, according to Catherine F.
Furey, treasurer.
G. A. o. members Of the golf
association today will enjoy their
first golf tournament of the sea-
son, about so having signed up to
compete in q holes of match play
over the Indian Spring course. The
affair will start at noon, with
lunch, after which they will tee off
with eight contestants to a flight.
Prizes to the winners will consist
of sets of golf balls, according to
William F.. Wilkinson, president of
the golf association.
After 4:30 p. m. today applica-
lions will not be accepted for the
Civil Service examination for va
ried grades of architect and archi-
tectural engineer. with salaries
ranging from $4,000 annually up
to $500. The test is to fill open
ingS at the Department of Agricul-
ture, Treasury and Veterans Ad-
ministration. Considerable educa-
ton and experience is required.
The newly adopted efficiency
ratings, now in the process of be-
ing applied to personnel, apply
only to classified employees in the
departmental service stationed in
the District of Columbia. Field
employees may get them if the
departments decide the new sys-
tenn is a sufficient improvement,
but Civil Service officials pointed
out today that legislation would
be necessary before unclassified
fie'' workers could come auto
maticallY under the ratings.

PETSERI, ESthonia, May 20
In the Black Cat restaurant a
young man sat at a table and
yodelled to himself. Two bearded
peasants expostulated. Another
staggered out dragging one
completely paralyzed.
In the room at the right a
chorus bawled Esthonian words
to the old German tune "Trink,
trink, Breuderlein trink!" A
strong smell of sheepskin, vodka,
and cabbage soup saturated the
room.
1t was only noon, but the big
monthly market in Petsert, down
in the southeast corner of EStho.
mia next to the Russian border,
was well under way.
They told me Petsert was the
poorest place in Esthonia. In
this district was one of the first
capitals of Rurik's Russia.
Peasants here lived now like
they did half century ago in
Russia. 1t would make a good
place to draw comparisons with
new Russia.
Peasant Jews"
A Setu woman in a cream-col-
ored heavy wooden skirt and
countless petticoats walked noise
lessly by, looking for her man
and smiling ironically. Setus are
a tribe neither Russian nor Es-
thonian. They live to themselves,
work hard, save and do we'll.
The others call them peasant
Jews"
Over in a corner an accordion
player, born blind, pumped out a
rousing Russian tune. Pushing
through the throng a peasant
grabbed a chair and showed a
sack under it. Out of the sack
came the frantic squeals of pig.
A girl behind the counter served
vodka in large tumblers at six
American cents a tumbler. She
kept sending out to the kitchen
for more. 1t did look like old
Russia.
Outside, the market was going
strong. Throngs of peasants pa
raded up and down between rows
of booths and wagons, while ven
doris barked their wares-bread,
meat, eggs and fish; homemade
spinning wheels, hand-forged
knives; firkins and tubs and bar
rels; baskets and mats; second
hand clothing and new-made
boots; harness and caps and toys
and ribbons, wealth galore. Here
was free trade, capitalist trade,
and what a lot of life there was
in it.
No Other Like 1t
Just across the border was So
Wet Russia. Airplanes reminded
us of it. They scared above our
heads and the peasants gaWked
and marveled. Soldiers reminded
us of it. They whipped by in
sleighs drawn by fast horses, and
each had rifle strapped to his
back. Today they held a small
air maneuver in Petseri to keep
their hand in on the Soviet border.
Right over that border and from
there all the way to the Sea of
Japan there is not to be found
today another market like this
one. True, they have markets in
the Soviet Union, but the life and
the glamour are gone out of them.
For all trade in the Soviet

offers to the employer a system of
collective bargaining Many people
have wrong conception of the i'm
portance and purposes of the organ
feel that it creates class hatred; that
it fosters strikes; that it refuses to
treat fairly with the employer and en-
deavors only to gain its ends through
force and coercion. This, / feel, is un-
true. My experience in dealing with
organized labor proves to me that it
is force for good. have found that,
on the whole, trade unions are organi-
cations of peace and functioning in
relation with employers are the best
agencies for industrial peace and for
the well being of the human race.
Strictly Business Relationship
eve feel that the relationship be-
tween our employees and ourselves is
strictly business one. We cannot be
secretive in our dealings with our
employees. Subterfuge, patronage,
and even charity accomplishes moth
ing. We assume that every employe
in our plant is potential business
man, and leader, and that it is no
more than good business to develop
every man for leadership. This is
impossible, however, unless employees
be taken into utmost confidence, and
be treated as fellow business men.
Such action on the part of the en-
ployer is appreciated by the worker,
as well as everything else that is
done for him.
Our belief in the principles of the
American Federation of Labor and
the Tobacco Workers international
Union has, IN our opinion,bee one
of the largest contributing factors to
the success of our company, and we,
therefore, without hesitation, COM
mend such a plan to other employ
ers."

quis, state organizer for the lnterna-
tional Retail Clerks, was in the city
four days last week, assisting in the
work. He will return to Hamilton
again in the near future, and with the
intention of signing up more of the
stores who have no working agree
ments with the clerks.
Union men and their families are
asked to call for union clerks when
making their purchases and doing
their shopping. All stores who have
signed the agreement of the Clerks
Union will have the union store card
displayed in their show windows.
Those who are favorable to the cause
of the clerks are requested to look
for this card before entering a store.
At the last meeting Edward Felt
man was elected secretary, and Ed
ward Engler, business agent.
Much interest is being displayed by
the younger members of the organi-
zation, and with a little energy they
expect to double the membership in
the near future. Organization of
clerks in many Of the stores is sadly
needed, they say.

long be carried on unless there was
increased purchasing power by the
great masses of the people. To us
this meant that there must be increase
in wages and shortening of hours.
This became the very fixed conviction
of our management.
Why Union Was Required
'The more difficult question was as
to how this should be accomplished,
and we arrived at the conclusion that
collective bargaining by employer and
employe, with both of these elements
dealing at large length and yet fairly
with each other, was the only means
by which, under our system, any adj

tion of income could be accomplished.
We realized the difficulties of this
method, but we felt that if this meth
cd did not accomplish the desired end,
then the present capitalistic system
would collapse.
There is further-and more self
ish-reason as to why we took the
step which we did in cooperating with
the organization of our plants We
felt that if the present economic sys-
tenn was to continue, it was inevitable
that in the future there should be the
organization of labor, and that real
collective bargaining would eventu-
ally be made effective We were fam
liar with the experiences in England
and we know that trade unions had
been successful there.
Labor Found Comparative
"We also know that industry had
not become socialistic or destroyed by
that movement. 1t seemed to US,
therefore, that with the more COM
plete organization of labor an inevi-
table fact, it would be to the benefit
| of our company to be one of the first
companies to take the step and join
in this movement. In this way we
hoped to gain good will from the labor
people and to be of some assistance
to them in bringing about the organi-
zation of labor generally.
"Now, what has been the result
of our operations under labor con-
ditions? We have found that the
/ labor organizations have been at
all times reasonable and helpful;
that they have made every at
tempt to understand our point of
view, and in dozens of instances
when there have been demands of
various kinds, we have either
been able to meet these demands
| by a reasonable explanation as to
why certain things could not be
! done, or we have met the demands
and have found that it has bet
tered the conditions not only of
| labor, but Of our company. Our
experience convinces us that there
is no reason why any employer
could not operate under union
conditions
! with these facts, it is our sincere
belief that provision in the law sucF
as that contained in the proposed
Wagner bill will facilitate the orgam
zation of labor, to the ultimate bene
fit not only of the workers, but ais,
Of industry itself.
