General Strike More Complete Than That in San
Francisco Last Year-Central Labor Union
Offers Settlement if Private Army Removed.

Terre Haute, Ind. (ILNS) The
general strike in this city continues
in force, in spite of the presence of
1900 national guardsmen. To date,
the only rioting was caused by the
private guards hired by the Colum-
bian Enameling & Stamping Co, to
overawe the strikers.
The initial strike broke in this
plant three months ago, in an effort to
make the company obey what was
then the law-the MIRA. That law
contained Section IA; allowing work
ers to organize as they pleased and
forbidding the company to interfere
in any way with such organization.
The company was trying to bribe its
workers to stay out of the union by
giving them free picnics, free sweat
ers, and personal privileges, and was
refusing to deal with the union which
included not less than three-quarters
of its workers.
When NRA was knocked out by the
supreme court, the company imported
armed guards, and there was quite a
riot in consequence. The company re
torted by bringing in more guards

An 18-year minimum is established

and last week, AS local unions voted
a sympathy labor holiday" as a
means Of forcing the company to
yield.
OF nearly 5000 workers in the town,
only a few hundred are employed.
Gas stations throughout the county
are closed. Electric lights were shut
off for only a few minutes when a
connection was made with another
source Of power. Restaurants are
closed and hotel service almost sus-
pended The most serious difficulty
comes from the closing Of the grocery
stores, thus cutting off the food sup
ply
"The Central Labor Union, said its
vice president, Max Schaefer, didn't
authorize this strike in the first place,
and will be glad to settle it on any
reasonable basis if the armed thugs
at the enamelling and stamping plant
are just moved out as they were
brought in-under police escort"
1t is reported from Washington that
Edward F. MeGrady, prize concihator
of labor troubles for the administra-
tion, is coming to Terre Haute by air
plane to see what he can do for peace.

LABOR LAW
Is Signed Maximum A.
Hour Week Imposed
BY A. F. OF L. News Service.

BY A. f. OF L. News Service.
Harrisburg, Pa.-Gov. Earle signed
the child labor bill, enacted by the
recent session of the legislature, reg
ulating the employment Of minors un-
til they are Is years of age, instead of
16 under the old law, and barring
children under 16 from certain types
of employment.
The law raises the minimum age
for employment of minors from ID
to 16 years in manufacturing oocupa-
tions at any hours and other occupa.
tions during school hours. Children
of Ia and Is years may be employed
in on-manufacturing operations dur
ing vacation periods and after school
hours.
Six days a week, eights hours a
day and "A hours week are the max
imum work periods permitted, apple
able to all minors under 18. The old
law affected hours only of employed
minors under 16.
Employers are required to provide
a lunch period of at least 80 minutes
after no more than five hours of con-
tinuous work.

SWEDISH
Labor Rule Fights Depres-
sion
BY C. MCKAY


Ottawa (1LNS)- What Sweden has
done to overcome the depression is the
subject of two long articles in the
International Labor Review, published
by the International Labor Office of
the League of Nations Here are
some of Sweden's achievements under
a labor socialist government based
solidly on strong labor unions, and
more Fabian in policy than Marxian.
Employment since the middle Of
1884 has been considerably greater
than in 1929, the peak year of the
boom.
Output of Swedish consumption
goods in 1884 was II per cent greater
than in 1929. Cost of living is now
80 per cent below the 1929 level
Wage rates are only 5 per cent below
1929. Railway traffic in 1884 was
about the same as in 1929
The quantity of iron and steel used
in Sweden in 1923 was SO per cent
greater than in 1929, and the guam
tity of Portland cement used was 80
per cent greater.
In 1929 Sweden's unemployed num-
bered $4,000. Since, the male work
ing population has increased by over
100000. Unemployed males are now
estimated at between 10000 and TO-
600, or around l per cent of the total
population of between six and seven
millions There are very few unem-
ployed women.
A writer in the English Fortnightly
Review says: "In the natural order
of things, Sweden as a capitalist coun-
try, should present picture Of great
prosperity for the haves and precious
little for the have-nots. But it has
very few people who are very rich,
and hardly any actual poverty. The
great majority have chieved stand
ard of living beyond the reach of the
general crowd in almost any other
country"
Government measures to encourage
construction, adjust the balance be-
tween the prices of farm and manu-
factured products, reduction of inter.
est rates-to per cent in some
cases prevention of chiselling, and
the power of the labor unions to pre-
vent wage reductions, were the prin-
cipal factors in Sweden's remark
able recovery. The government plans
to balance it's 1935-36 budget.
