Higher Pay Level Only Way to Bring
Business Revival, Father Hass Says

Of wealth is the one that wage earn
ers most want and that powerful in
dustrialists are most opposed to. 1t
is collective bargaining through bona
fide labor unions. For the present, it
should be supplemented by legislation
that would tax large fortunes and ex-
cess profits, and compel the writing
off Of inflated capital structure. But
even these instruments seem to be
necessary for only a limited time.

LABOR TO CONTINUE
FIGHT
To Maintain Pay, Despite
McCarran Amendment
Defeat

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Labor
will continue to fight to maintain
wages, President William Green, of
the American Federation of Labor, an
nounced following defeat by the SEN
ate of the McCarran prevailing rate
of wages amendment to the $780,
100000 work relief BILL
Vote against the McCarran amend
ment, which had previously been ap-
proved by close vote, was so tc 38.
After defeating the McCarran pro-
posal, the senate adopted the compro-
mise Russell amendment by a vote Of
So to 2.
Approval Of the Russell amend
ment, offered by Senator Russell, of
Georgia, assures payment of prevail
ing rate of wages on all permanent
public buildings projects under the
work relief bill Elsewhere the
amendment says the president may
fix the wages he chooses, if in his
opinion they will not operate to tear
down the wage scale.
The McCarran amendment would
have made mandatory the payment of
wages prevailing in every community
on federal aid projects.
In announcing that labor would
keep up its fight to maintain wages,
President Green reiterated labor's op-
position to the Russell amendment,
saying:
Labor does not accept the Russell
amendment as an improvement over
the measure originally reported by
the senate appropriations commit
tee. 1t can not and does not accept
the Russell amendment"

UNION LABEL IS KEY
TO PROSPERITY
BY /. M. ORNBURN
Secretary Treasurer Union Label
Trades Department

During those trying days of the
Civil War, when politicians, army gem
erals and greedy business lobbyists
were as numerous in the nations CAPT
tai as they are today, Lincoln finally
had to take full charge of the critical
situation, brush them all aside, and
declare that the only test of every
measure was, "Will it win the war 3"
The idea Of the great emancipation APP
plies to our present-day economic
war" The supreme test of every
proposed remedy should be, 'Will it
put men to work ?"
BY putting men to work, purchasing
power will be increased and only
through the mass buying power Of the
people can our nation pull itself out
of this disastrous depression. If a
larger number receiving wages means
greater purchasing power, then a
larger number receiving union wages
creates still greater purchasing power
Union wages will quicken recovery,
and bring permanent prosperity to
every citizen.
But even prevailing union wages
will not bring better times if they are
spent for foreign-made goods. Can
there be anything so ridiculous as to
send American dollars abroad for un-
fair products while millions of Amer
ican workers are walking the streets
in search of work We are thus pay
! ing a bounty to Europeans and Asiat-
les to increase our own bread lines.
The best guarantee that products
are not only made under union con-
ditions, but also in America, is the
union label. Even the NRA allows
/ imports to display the Blue Eagle on
foreign goods. Consequently, there
is no substitute for the union label,
shop cards and buttons. Demand
theml If your friends boast of being
| Americans, ask them to Buy Amer
lean" Ask them, also, to buy both
American and union-made goods. They
are manufactured by skilled workers
at decent wages and under the most
sanitary conditions.
Purchasing power is the door at
which opportunity is knocking. The
union label is the key to this door OF
prosperity!
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1935-03-29

national dividend dropped sharply,
and unemployment increased accord
ingly. NRA, by fixing minimum
wages and maximum hours, endeav-
ored to halt the drop, and it succeeded
in direct proportion as powerful in
dustrialists did not succeed in block
ing decent wage and hour provisions
in codes Of fair competition. The
lesson of the last twenty months is
clear. Only by compulsory increase
in wages and consequently in pur-
chasing power Of workers can there
be business revival.
viii Not Retard Recovery
The objection that increased labor
costs will retard recovery is, in my
opinion, wholly unwarranted. 1t ig-
nores too many important facts. For
example, present economic arrange
ments are not static but swift NOV
ing, and highly responsive to pres
sure. A pressure group, such as the
wage earning population when it is
armed with ready cash to buy, will
apply precisely the pressure that is
needed
Again, it is erroneous to assume
that because increased wages will in
crease retail prices, workers when
they receive more wages cannot buy
more goods than they bought before,
and consequently will not reduce un-
employment. In an efficient industry
prices do not go up as wages increase.
Nor is the entire increase in labor
cost, as embodied in higher retail
prices, borne by workers alone. A
considerable part of it is shifted to
non n-wage-earners, especially to the
well-to-do, who have more than suf-
ficient capacity to buy.
Well-to-do Large Buyers
This latter point should be looked
at somewhat more closely. Workers
do not purchase all the goods they
work on. Those living on investments
and those in the professional classes
receiving high salaries form very
large portion of the buying market
and, of course, are fully able to carry
the burden OF increased prices.
Furthermore, there are huge vol
umes Of goods, particularly luxuries
and super-luxuries, which workers dc
not buy at all. The entire additiona
cost of such commodities will be
shifted to the classes who are amply
able to carry the burden. To be sure
this process will promote redistribu
ton of wealth, but this is precisel.
the condition that should be WORKED
| toward.

telegraph communications code ap-
pears to be laid away in cold storage,
as a result of the scheming of the
Western Union and its company union,
the Association of Western Union
Employees.
Officially the NRA will only say
that the code, as modified by industry,
has been turned over to the National
Industrial Recovery Board. The last
proposal calls for 43 hours week
spread over three weeks, WITHOUT
PROTECTION OF ALL EMPLOYEES
FROM WAGE CUTS. Unofficially, it
is stated that hearings on the future
disposition of the NRA IN congress
will have considerable bearing on
what is eventually done with the code
Also that federal communications
commission hearing will result in reg
ulations covering practices and will
determine whether code will be ap-
proved.
The plain truth of the situation,
however, is that a 40-hour week code
was proposed on January 81 by all
four telegraph companies, and that
a later modification to 43 hours was
initiated by Western Union with the
approval of the company union.
Workers Sentiment Shown
A storm of protests from the West
ern Union and Postal employees to the
president, NRA and other officials
has shown the real sentiment of tel
egraph workers towards the brazen
attempt to put over code which
would reduce wages of the worst paid
employees in public service.
1t is reported that NRA officials
have advised the Recovery Board that
a 43-hour week, without equitable
wage adjustments, is the best that
the telegraph industry can afford.
Commenting on this report and on
NRA policy, Frank B. Powers, interna-
tional president of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union, said:
0We believe the report to be true,
for it fits in with the attitude of these
officials in public hearings.
"When President Roosevelt signed
the MIRA, or shortly thereafter, he
announced that any industry which
could not, or would not, give It's en-
ployes wage which would mean a
decent standard of living should not
be permitted to exist.
"NRA officials have never paid the
slightest attention to that profound
expression of policy.
Why Long Delay on Code?
"The first charge against any in
dustry should be decent wage.
'If the telegraph companies cannot
pay decent wage with their pres
ent financial structure-which we do
not admit-they should be reorgan-
lied
'sWhy has there been nearly two
years of delay in forcing telegraph
code on the industry, while employees
literally starved?
Because NRA officials charged
with the administration Of MIRA have
never observed the spirit of the act
as so clearly expressed by President
Roosevelt at the very inception OF
NRA. Labor was left out of the
partnership.
Labor's Pleas Embedded
"All during the various attempts
to secure code for the telegraph IN.
dustry, close heed has been paid te
the protests of financial distress By
the telegraph officials. Sympathetic
ears have been turned towards the
difficulties of industry.
But deaf ear has been turned tt

peals from telegraph workers for re
lief from unemployment, deprivation
and distress. When an opportunit.

COMPULSORY WAGE INCREASE is
URGED TO ROUT THE DEPRESSION
Low Incomes Chief Cause of 1929 Collapse and Boost In
Purchasing Power Is Path to Prosperity, Noted Cath
olic Economist and Social Worker Holds

New York City (ILNS)-An emil
nent Catholic economist, Father Fran
els ]. Haas, director of the National
Catholic School for Social Service and
member of the Labor Advisory
Board Of the NRA, has joined in the
controversy stirring the country by
urging that further recovery now de-
pends upon higher wages.
In letter to Matthew Woll, third
vice president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, Father Haas says
that low wages were the chief cause
of the collapse of 1929 and points to
methods to restore wages and insure
recovery. Father Haas says that
leading industrialists attempted to
block decent wage and hour pro-
visions" in the NRA codes and that
the lesson is that "only by compul-
sorry increase in wages and purchas-
ing power of workers can there be a
business revival"
Father Haas letter follows:
Ny dear Mr.. Woll:
In answer to your request | am
glad to give you my views on the
question Of high wages.
am fully convinced that low wages
were the chief cause Of the collapse
of 1929, that they prolonged and
deepened the depression, that the
turn about in wage rates effected by
the NRA was the greatest stimulant
to recovery, and that we must not
merely maintain but increase wage
levels if we are to go on from here.
Facts and not theories dictate the
necessity of higher and higher wages
Clearly, if a man has his wages
raised from SO to $25 week, he car
and will buy SIS more goods. His
added demand, multiplied by that OF
the millions situated like him, will
cause unemployment as nothing else
can. Markets cause unemployment
and purchasing power creates mar
kets.
Pre-1929 Wages Too Low
| Before 1929, the wages of millions
of wage -earners were not sufficient te
enable them and their families to buy
all the goods they needed. Because
they could not buy what they needed
employers did not produce enough tx
meet the need. They cut production
down to the point where they believed
production was profitable, and thu:
we had the shocking spectacle of hav
ing from one-fifth to two-ffths Of tht
producing equipment Of the country
held out of use. The crisis of 1872!
was inevitable.
From 1929 to June, 1888, the an
nual income of the country was GU
nearly in half, the wage share of tn,
