Thousands Deprived Of Jobs


Thousands Deprived of Jobs
"Officials of the Boot Trade En-
ployees' Union state that during
the last few years l~abor-saving ma
chimes have displaced thousands of
operatives.
although production has in
creased enormously, the wage-rate
Of those workers who are still in
employment has slumped to an
alarming extent. 1t is stressed that
unless there is a substantial in
crease in w~age-rates, together with
a reduction of working hours and
an improvement in the condition of
labor generally, the industry will
soon approach a state of economic
chaos.
Output Boosted, Wages Cut
six years ago a wood-heeler in
the industry was paid 6 pounds a
week, and was expected to fashion
40 pairs of shoes daily. Today he
receives 4 pounds and l shilling,
and is set the task of making rs
pairs of shoes per day. Thus, while
the output on the machine has al
most doubled, wages have dropped
by owe 30 per cent.
"a worker engaged cutting felt
slippers three years ago received 6
pounds per week for a daily ma
chine output of 600 to $50 pairs.
The present wage is 4 pounds per
week, and the daily output has been
speeded up to between 1880 and
1900 pairs. Here, again, the wages
have fallen by over 80 per cent,
while the output has more than
doubled.
Soles Output Increased 400
Per Cent
Three years ago a worker ope-
rating a consolidated lasting ma
chine was paid 5 pounds and ten
shillings per week, and produced
400 pairs per day. The present
wage is 4 pounds and 1 shilling, and
production has more than doubled.
S~ole-cutters received S pounds and
IL shillings six years ago, and cut
1000 pairs of soles per day. The
wage is now down to A pounds and
l shilling per week, while the daily
output has been speeded up to 1000
pairs Of soles.
"Other specific instances of
speeding-up, linked with reduced
wages, ire Insoles, from 1000 to
1000 pairs per day; cutting OF
pump soles, from 900 to 1,7O0 pairs
per day; buffing, from 300 to 1000
pairs per day; painting bottoms OF
finished shoes, from $50 to 1900
pairs per day.
Labor Cost Reduced
I'm l925-26 the number of en-
ployes in the industry totalled 90
Gil, and the gross production was
l5,318,000 pairs of footwear-an
average per employee Of 1925 pairs.
The average labor cost was A shill-
ings and 23-10 pence per pair.
"In 1933-34 the number of en-
ployes had dropped to 1880, pro-
duction had increased to 10, 675, 765
pairs, the output per employee aver
aged 1854 pairs, and the labor cost
was reduced to 2 shillings and 4-10
OF penny per pair.
"In other words, while the aver
age output per employee increased
by over 40 per cent, the labor cost
was reduced by over SO per cent?
Hours Must Be Decreased

Montana labor news., 1936-09-03

shoe factories in the Commonwealth
are supplying 98 per cent of the
home market. Since the volume of
local production cannot be further
expanded, because of the limited
market, any further intensification
of machine production must mean
the displacement of more workers
from the industry.
ALREADY many of the factories
are working only part-time, or
closing down for lengthy periods
during the year. It is estimated
that, with the present machinery
available, it would need an Austria
lian population of somewhere
around twenty millions to keep all
the boot and shoe workers in full
time work.
'"These facts show very conclu-
.sively that unless machine produc-
ton is offset by a shortening of the
working week, plus an appreciable
left-up in wage-rates, the position
of the workers in the industry will
be a tragical one indeed"

LIS.-(FP)- Severe
criticism of American Federation of
Labor policy regarding industrial

scarcely yelled thrusts by Pres.
Charles P. Howard of the %Interna-
tional Typographical Union in his
annual report to his members.
Pointing out that the 81. T. U. ex-
listed some 80 years before the A,
F. of L. was organized" and Eat no
time accepted a charter from the
A. F. of L. or recognized the au-
thority of the federation to dictate
any policy we should adopt" How
ard says:
1--WE are confident that our mem
bers will not support the policy that
has been adopted whereby selfish
claims of jurisdiction that have not
and cannot be realized are prevent
ing organization of the inorganic
ed" Quoting from an unnamed OBJ
server, he adds:
ut would appear those nov in
control of the A. F. of L. would
rather retain their control over the
federation with 3,500,O00 members
than to affiliate 10000 900 members
and possibly endanger the control
they have exercised so many years"

Analysis of Australian Boot and

Effect of Machinery on Work

Bv A. F. of L. News Service.

By A. F. of L. News Service.
Labor Day is the day in the
year when working men and women
lay down their tools of labor for a
general holiday.
1t is also an appropriate day for
the toilers to pledge themselves to
renewed efforts for the permanent
removal of the curse of unemploy-
ment which has closed in on mil
lions of able-bodied workers and
consigned them and their families
to private and public charity and
temporary Federal work relief for
their support.
1t is generally admitted by all but
our industrial and political Tories
that the wholesale introduction of
labor-disp1acing machinery and
methods without reduction of hours
by those who own and control in
dustry is the main cause of unem-
ployment.
That this is true is ineontrovert-
IDLY demonstrated by the Austria
liam Worker in an article Analysing
the results of the continued appli-
cation of machinery and associated
Understanding schemes in the boot
and shoe industry of Australia
which has been accompanied by
larger output and wage slashes
forced on labor by employers. The
writer of the article concludes that
further degradation of the workers
is inevitable unless hours r dras-
tically shortened.
Discussing the subject under the
heading Driving Workers Out Of
Their Jobs" the article says:
1.-The continued mechanization Of
of the boot and shoe industry, in
volving the speeding-up of produc.
ton, the rationing of employment
and the resultant loss in wages, has
seriously affected the economic
status of the workers engaged in
the industry.

STEEL EXECUTIVES GIVE
FALSE IMPRESSION
By Federated Press

Observation-Disclosures execu-
tives are clever, but not clever
enough to pull the wool over the
eyes of their employees with regard
to the mass desertion from company
unions in the Chicago-Gary area
that took place August 10 at a
meeting called by the company
union general secretary of the Cor
negie-Illinois Steel Corporation at
Gary.
This is the reply of Leo Krzycki,
associate regional director of the
Steel Workers Organization Com
mittee, to the denials by a chorus of
company spokesman that the mass
desertion had taken place.
''The spokesman carefully stated
that the meetings. unanimous reso-
luton for cooperation with SWOC
did not represent a majority of the
workers in the nine plants affected"
Krzycki explained. "They were
equally careful not to say, how
ever, that a majority of company
unionists in the nine plants were
represented, though the vote to CO.
operate was unanimous after u of
the IS delegates had walked out of
the meeting. The company spokes-
men convey the impression that the
meeting was not representative, buf
it was the most representative gath
ering ever held of the workers in
these nine plants"
The company union secretary in
his call for the meeting said, 'aThe
purpose and plans of this meeting
will be to discuss a new Calumet
council that we, as representatives,
may act in unionism when any ma
jor issue confronts u.s."
Company union secretaries adj
dressed in the call were those of the
Gary Screw & Bolt Co.; Gary Sheet
Mill, Gary Tin Mill, South Works,
and Joliet Works of the Carnegie
Illinois Steel Corporation; Ameri-
can Bridge Co.; Universal Atlas &C.
ment Co.; Island Steel Corporation,
and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co,
East Chicago plant.
When the dozen company stooges
saw that the meeting was deter
mined to work with Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel & Tin
Workers and to break away from
the company baby harness, they
stalled out, making the remainder
of the delegates unanimous for gen.
uine unionism.
THE action of this meeting is a
further demonstration of the reali-
cation by the men," said Regional
Director Van A. Bittner of the
SWOC, that so-called employee rep
resentation in the steel mills is fu-
tile. It points to complete success
of the organizing campaign Of the
SWoC."
Steel workers in the Chicago area
will meet in the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers million-dollar
center in Chicago where they will
see what strong unions can do for
their members. On Labor Day a
mass picnic will be held in East Chi
cago in conjunction with the central
labor body there.
