conditioned on average normal earn
ings. A man earning $3.50 a year
or less can take out only $1,000 IN
this group insurance, for which he
pays at the rate Of rs cents month
The man earnin more than $4,750 a
year can get $1,000 insurance at $3.75
a month, and other incomes and IN
surances range between these sums.
Group insurance. says the an
nouncement Of the corporation, rs
the only plan whereby many of our
employees can obtain life insurance,
because, ordinarily, no medical exam
ination is required, and because there
are no restrictions as to age, sex or
occupation The U. S. Steel Corpora
ton is willing to assume that part
of the cost in excess of employe con-
tributions, in order to make these
benefits available to the employees"
This has a highly philanthropic
sound. But the history of the steel
trust does not inspire one with a sur
plus Of confidence in its good inten-
tions; and another passage from the
announcement reveals the joker
"The insurance will continue only
during the term of an employees ac-
tive service with the corporation or
its subsidiaries. 1t ceases upon tre-
mination Of employment FOR ANY
CAUSE"
In other words, this insurance is
a bribe to the steel worker while he
remains docile, and a threat to him
at the first show Of independence.
After five years of depression, insur-
ance means something. The steel trust
says to the worker "You can get
insurance that will be a boon to your
family-so long as you work for US,
and give satisfaction. But we retain
the right to fire you at any moment;
and when you are dismissed, your
insurance and all that you have put
into it ends"
It is just another Of the many
schemes to tie the workers hands.

They prevent the shipment in inter-
state commerce of certain articles and
commodities in connection with which
persons are employed more than FIVE
days week or six hours a day.
In addition to establishing the COM
pulsory work week in interstate COM
merce, the bill adds to its strength by
making the shorter hours applicable
to industries borrowing money from
government agencies and to industries
and to their sub-contractors making
contracts for services to be perform
ed with the United States govern
ment.
The measure also provides that the
reduction IN hours shall be applied
without reducing wages.
In urging the necessity for the en-
actment of the measure to provide jobs
for some Of the huge army of the
unemployed, the judiciary committee
says
"We should no longer temporize
with the cancerous condition Of un-
employment which is attacking the
very vitals Of our civilization. We
must choose between fostering a vast
regular army Of mendicants and re-
adjusting our working conditions 50

Of doles.
"A shorter work week and work
day will restore happiness and hope
to millions who will be given employ

production throughout the nation. It

by the use of the union label. Millions
of unorganized workers are today en-
joying the benefits of shorter hours

past, trade unionists who were un-

will keep alive their interest in this
greaat cause of collective buying, which
goes hand-in-hand with collective
bargaining. The results depend en-

Union Label Trades Department
Collective bargaining must be sup
plemented by collective buying if trade
union members are really in earnest.
Only through buying union-made
products and services can the mem
bers of organized labor make the in
fiuence of trade unionism powerfully
and effectively felt. If union buyers
show only a passive interest in the
union label of their brother craftsmen,
then how can we expect non-union
buyers to purchase union articles anil
services?
Let's place this business Of buying
under the union label, shop card and
button on a strictly scientific basis.
When you plan your family budget
for next month, why not list all ar
ticles and all services which every
member of the family will, in all
probability, buy in the next thirty
days? Then, go over the list and
ascertain which items bear the union
label. If you cannot find merchandise
bearing the union label, consult the
secretary of your local union or Union
Label League, and ask him to fur
nish the information. Make every eff
fort to find out where you can obtain
services and products of trade union
