given by the School Board are SO far
not acceptable to the union. The Teach

Milwaukee Mayor
Supports Workers
Rights Amendment

MILWAUKEE,. Hearst-inspired
~red-baiters of Milwaukee called on
Mayor Daniel w. Hoan, Socialist, to
issue a Constitution Day Proclamation.
This is what they got:
WHEREAS, the American Consti-
tuition was ratified and became effec-
tive in 1887; and
WHEREAS, this vital document was
purposely SO drawn that it might be
amended from time to time, to con
form to changing political, economic
and social conditions; and
WHEREAS, during the l4S years Of
its existence the Constitution has been
amended directly no less than twenty
II times and amended indirectly on
numerous occasions by court decisions
and administrative action, as the need
for such amendments became evident;
and
WHEREAS, the breakdown Of the
financial and industrial system has
brought about a national emergency
which calls for the enactment of a new
Constitutional amendment, designated
by its sponsors as the workers Rights
Amendment, which would enable the
federal government to do what the Sup.
Court has held it is powerless to do
under the limitations OF the Constitu-
ton as now interpreted, in securing to
all Of II people the right of life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness, and
promoting the general welfare; and
WHEREAS, such amendment would
give renewed vitality and meaning to
the Constitution as the expression OF
the collective will of the American peo-
pie of today,
THEREFORE,, as Mayor of Milwau-
kee, in proclaiming Tuesday, Septem-
Der 18th Constitution Day, | call upon
our people to give heed in their OBJ
servance Of the vital necessity for ad-
apting our Constitution to modern con

as future generations, a practical dem
onstration that democratic institutions
can be made to function successfully
in promoting the public interest and
general welfare through the peaceful
and orderly processes OF the law.

LIRRARY BOARD OPPOSED

The secretary Of the Trades and La
Dor Council was instructed to send a
letter to the City Council requesting
the removal of Mr.. James Brown and
Mr.. Loundes Maury from the Library
Board. According to the city ordin-
ances the citizen members of the Lib
rary Board must be appointed on even
years and the contention of the Trades
Council is that this Board is illegally
constituted. The d%ispleasure Of the I'M
ions against the members OF the Lib
rary Board arises from action taken
by the Board in reducing the salaries
of the clerks in the library from full
time to three quarters time.

CHILDREN
NEED CLOTHES
Ladies' Auxiliary Sends Out APP
peal to the People.

The miners in the tri-state district
OF Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri
have had a very prolonged strike. This
fact together with the inefficient and
inadequate government relief agencies
have produced a condition in those
three states that is deplorable. Last
winter the children were not able to
leave their homes because they had
no clothes to wear. Children were
seldom seen on the streets and the
towns had a desolate and deserted APP
pearance. According to reports Of the
Miners union the Government relief
agencies either couldn't or wouldn't
supply the clothes and relief necessary
to the proper care of the children and
the people there. 1t seems almost I'M
possible to believe in a country so rich
" endowed in natural resources, mach
inery and technique as is this country,
that children should be imprisoned and
denied the right OF play and fresh air
because a capitalistic and selfish Gov
eminent refuses to provide for their
care. An appeal is being sent out to
all sympathetic people in Silver Bow
County and throughout the state OF
Montana to deliver or mail to the Min
ers' Union. 82H East Park Street, Butte

suitable for children. This organiza-
ton will then mail them to the desti-
tute children OF the tri-state district.

BUY UNION MADE BRooMs

Another letter was received from the
Oklahoma Central Council concerning
the Wilson Packing Company. This
company has been placed on the unfair
list by this organization and also by
the Oklahoma Federation of Labor.
The Oklahoma Federation Of Labor
has been instructed to bring it to the
attention of the convention of the Am
erican Federation OF Labor which con-
venes at Atlantic City October 7 with
the request that this national body also
take action against this firm. A strike
has been in progress in Oklahoma
among the employees of the Wilson
Packing Company and the unions are
attempting to boycott its products
throughout the country in an effort to
win the controversy. There is very
little if any of the Wilson Packing
Company's products sold in Silver Bow
County. However the matter was
referred to the Union Label committee
for their attention.
The sale Of union-made brushes and
brooms is increasing according to a
letter received from the international
Broom Company thanking the unions
in behalf OF their efforts in pushing the
sale Of these products. Butte is for
tunately situated in this regard, in that
it has a factory located here. This
company puts out a fine quality pro-
duct and all the members of organized
labor and their friends are urged to
demand the union label on all brushes
and brooms which they buy from the
retailers.

Detroit Convention Reflects Pre-
sident Mahon and Names Nc
Morrow First Vice President
- Condemns Communists -
Favors 30-Hour Week With
out Earnings Reduction -
Adopts Pension System.

Detroit, Mich. II The Amalgamated
Association Of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees OF America
concluded one OF its most successful
conventions Saturday, September IA, at
the Book-Ca Cadillac Hotel here. Detroit
is the International headquarters of the
Association, but this is the first time in
40 years that a convention has been
held here.
w. D. Mahon was reelected inter-
national president, the office he has
held for AZ years. He has headed the
organization continuously since 1898.
Pensions at Sixty-five
One OF the highlights Of the conven-
ton was the adoption of pensions for
international officers and employees of
the international organization. The old
age benefits are to be paid international
Officers or employees of the international
office who have reached 65 years of
age and who have been employed by the
Association for a period of 20 years
or more. International officers or en-
.ployes who become totally disabled also
come under the provisions of these
laws. Those eligible will be retired at
approximately half pay. A fund for
these pensions is created by the assess
ment Of rs cents a year to be paid in
the members December dues. In addi-
ton to the pension, there is provided
the sum Of $275 as a burial fund when
the pensioner passes away.
=
Membership and Wages Increase
The Amalgamated Association came
through the depression in excellent
condition. President Mahon reported
that during the past two years II char
tiers had been issued and 1888 mem
|bers enrolled.
In the last two years wages have
been increased on the properties where
members Of this organization were en-
ployed to the point where, in many
cases, the scale is back to the 1929
level.
Shorter Hours Demanded
1t was pointed out, in the presidents
report, that on the majority of prop
critics the eight-hour day and six-day
week has been established, this being a
reduction from former hours in the
transit industry. However, the conven-
ton went on record as being in favor
of further shortening the work week
to bring it down to the 3O-hour week
without reducing the income of the
workers.
The next convention of the Anal
gamated Association will be held in San
Francisco in September, 1887.
