Special Interests Are
Are Opposed To
Insurance Law

Those of us who were interested
in setting up a Workman's Compen-
sation Law, recognize in the argu-
ments which are being advanced
against the State Insurance Law
some of the same opposition. The
Workman's Compensation Law was
badly needed in Montana in order
to bring relief to laborers who were
being imposed upon by the intoler-
able conditions that then existed.
When a laborer was killed Or in
jured through the negligence of his
employer, it often took months and
some times years to obtain compen-
sation. The employers of labor US
ually carried liability insurance in
some company.
The insurance or casulfy company
agreed in their policy to protect the
employer in case a judgment was
secured against him. The result
was that the employee or his family
were usually required to bring an
action in court at great expense both
of time and money in order to prove

Thousands of Firms Under Labor Code

Thousands of firms furnishing supplies to the
United States Government were placed under
the provisions Of the Walsh-Healy Federal con-
tracts act on September %.
The act is an attempt to outlaw sweatshop la
Dor conditions in industries which share in the
vast business orders of the Government. Con-
tractors and others subject to the act must es-
tablish a forty-hour week, refrain from en-
ploying child labor, pay the prevailing wage
rate as determined by the Secretary of Labor,
and provide safe and sanitary plants. The child
labor provision stipulates that no male person
under Is and no femade person under Is may
be employed.
The act applies to contracts in excess of $10,-
900. 1t is estimated that contracts covering at
least $500, 900, 900 and 1000 contractors, will be
affected by the provisions of the new law, thus
protecting several hundred thousand workers
who have hitherto been subject to low wages,
long hours and insanitary workshops imposed
by unscrupuolus sweatshop employers.
1t is said that textile manufacturers comprise
about 20 per cent Of the contractors. These con-
Germs, notorious for bad labor conditions, sell
the Government millions Of dollars worth of
army and navy uniforms, bed clothes for vet
Grams hospitals and many articles used by the
Civilian Conservation Corps.
Farmers and distributors Of farm products
are exempt from the measure.
Legal experts believe that the constitutional
ity of the act is unquestioned, the Supreme
Court having already decided that the Federal
eight-hour day law applied to Government work
was valid and that the enactment of the law
providing for the eight-hour day and minimum
wages on State contracts was within the pro-
vince Of the Kansas legislature.
The Walsh-Healy bill was proposed to the
last Congress by the Roosevelt Administration
after the Supreme Court declared the National
Industrial Recovery Act unconstitutional. It
was designed as a means Of preserving at least
a part Of the labor gains of the NRA.
Under the law prior to the enactment of the
act contracts were awarded to the lowest res
ponsible bidder with no stipulation regarding
wages, hours and other conditions. The result
was INSCRIPTIONS cut-throat competition for
Government business, the universal tendency
of which was to perpetutate sweatshop condi-
lions of employment. Now, the Government
has the power to require contractors to conform
to certain minimum labor standards.
The passage Of the Walsh-Healy Act was
strongly urged upon the last Congress by the
American Federation of Labor and the entire
labor movement. 1t will be enforced by Sec
rotary of Labor Perkins, who has already is
sued a set of regulations closing a number Of
loopholes for violation Of the law discovered by
the National Association of Manufacturers and
other anti-labor employers organizations which
vainly sought to prevent the enactment of the
measure.

number of strikes in Minneapolis. The major
demand of the unions representing the strikers
was collective bargaining. In commenting on
this demand Governor Petersen said:
Employers are quick to demand that en-
ployes, citizens and civil authorities obey the
law. But when it comes to collective bargaining,
which is the law of the land, some employers
are not SO strong for unfolding the law.
'The desire of organized labor to represent
its members in collective bargaining is reason
able and it is the employers obligation to rec
ognize that lawful right"
Governor Petersen evidently referred to the
National Labor Relations Act passed by the
last Congress of the United States, which in
cludes in a list of unfair labor practices the
refusal of an employer to bargain collectively
with representatives of the employees and spe-
officially prohibits such practice.
1t also prohibits employers from discrimin-
ating against employees because of trade union
membership.
The National Labor Relations Board has been
kept busy since the enactment Of the law in
1885 taking action against employers who de-
Iiberately violate its provisions.

Since tuberculosis is a problem of

HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE
FALLEN

October 2, the Montana Labor
News publised a picture Of tn e
McCarroll Beauty Shop on the front
page in which it was shown that the
building was Unfair to the Buildings
Trades and the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council.
There is an old axiom running
something like this: IN o hi n G is
constant but change. This building is
an extreme exemplification of that
old adage. During the hectic days of
Butte's labor troubles along in 1914
and afterwards, this building stood
out as a rendezvous and a home of
unionists and others willing to
sacrifice their lives to the cause of
the working people. Soldiers pranced
up the stairs and lined themselves
in the halls of this building search
for friends and adherents of tn
unions. The tramp of martial feet
and the clanking of military sabers
still have their ghostly echos in its
rooms. "How the mighty have fallen

able and now a subject of scorn and

their case. This method proved to
be a hardship on poor folks. Some
relief vas demanded. A Workmen's
Compensation Law was enacted
which set up a State Fund out of
which the workman might collect
compensation, within a reasonable
time and at a minimum expense.
This law as it was first passed was
crude and faulty in some respects.
1t was Immediately attacked at the
instigation of the Companies which
had been furnishing the insurance.
Every conceivable argument was u.s.
ed against this measure which was
intended to make the lot of the lab
orer a little more bearable. After
years of litigation it was finally re-
ferred. to the voters and became the
accepted law Of the land.
The State Insurance Law which
is to be voted upon in the coming
election also needs to be amended
and no doubt will be improved up
on. 1t is going through the same
battle as the Workmen's law en-
countered. We find some of the
same opponents in this fight and the
arguments offered against it are
somewhat similar. We hope the
voters will realize their position and
will vote again in their own inter
est by voting for Referendum Num-
Der 81.

Wages and Dividends

A progressive viewpoint regarding the rela-
tive rights of wage earners who do most of the
useful work in industry, to higher wages for
the use of their labor power, and stockholders,
who own the machinery of production and are
paid dividends for the use of this property, is
expressed in the report of Msgr. Joseph F.
Smith, Of Cleveland, Ohio, chairman of the
Arbitration Board which granted the employees
of the Cleveland Railway Company an increase
in wages of six cents an hour and one weeks
vacation with pay.
Taking the thoroughly ethical position that
the welfare of the employees should come be-
for other costs, Msgr. Smith expressed his phil
osophy on wages and dividends in the five fol-
lowing principles which he held to be funda-
mental in the case:
L. In human society the unit is the family
and not the individual. The employer,
therefore, should deal with his employee
not merely as an individual but as the head
or member of a family.
2. The employer must consider the needs
of the family as well as the individual; that
with reasonable economy the working man
may be able to feed, clothe and educate his
dependents.
8. During the depression the dollars of
the wage earners went further in aiding
the unemployed and their families than the
money that came from any other source.
Again, during the depression, the wage
Garner did more to protect our institutions
by his courage, his confidence and his econ
omies than any other element in our Ameri-
can life.
4. AS a rule the last consideration in the
return of prosperity is the restoration of the
living wage of the working man. In justice
the working man should be the first to
benefit.
5. The living wage of the employee comes
before the dividends to the stockholders
and applies to the Cleveland Railway Com
pany in their contract with the City per-
hitting a 6 per cent dividend. When and
to whatever extent the wage earners par
ficipate in the dividends of the company,
to that extent the dividends may be con-
sidered in the question of wages.
If the philosophy enunciated by Msgr. Smith
was the guiding principle of the executives of
many of our large corporations they would
cease their un-American opposition to trade
unions and collective bargaining and nave less
use for labor spies, gas bombs, machine guns
and other similar weapons in their unholy
economic warfare against the legitimate aspira-
tons of working men and women for higher
wages, shorter hours, improved labor conditions
and other elements Of justice in industrial
relations.
