Lemus Comedies
Fight To Railway
Company Union

New York, Jan. 25-(ANP)
Look like the Railway Com
pany,' said Rienzi B. Lemus,
grand president of the Brother
hood of Dining Car Employees,
when asked here last week by
the Associated Negro Press
who would be winner of the sec
ret-ballot election now being
conducted by the National Med
tiation Board among dining car
cooks and walters on the Penn
sylvania Railroad. The brother
hood holds the contract, and has
been challenged by Local No.
$40 Of the AT of L. The AT of
L formally called on the Medi-
tation Board to take jurisdic-
ton, as provided in the Rail
way Labor Act amended, last
July, and the secret-ballot is
the result.
The Pennsylvania has never
conceded the duty of Congress
to enact a railroad labor law i'm
virtue of which the employees
representatives could be abso-
lutely free of managerial influ-
ence, according to Mr.. Lemus,
and whenever it does the rail
way company always seeks 10
impose some plan whereby its
preference can prevail, he said.
The contract now covering
the PR cooks and walters was
negotiated by Mr.. Lemus in
1921, provides the highest cooks
wages of the entire dining car
industry, rules that left little
to be desired but never could be
enforced because the manage
ment insisted on its company
union plan predominating and
was abetted by the local repre-
sentatives working in service
who resented taking appeals to
the higher officials on which
occasions they could not be con-
spicuous," Mr.. Lemis said.

pliance with all terms OF our
contract with the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, after drag
ging it through the National
Meditation Board and the Ma
tional Adjustment Board for a
year. Mr.. Lemis continued /;

been denied the crew on de-

The People VIII Paw

Montana voters at the general election favored by a
small margin a measure which regulates an S-hour
working day Tor Montana people and gives the legislature
power to decrease the number Of working hours. but not
increase.
The decision of voters favoring the act will, the Her
aid believes, work to the people OF Montana's disadvan-
tage.
In the first place, this state already has an S-hour
law. II has been in force for years. But in order to make
the issue look right to voters, schemers were clever
enough to have it presented in such a way that it ep-
peared as though it was merely and simply an S-hour
law. The scheme worked. 1t was put across. The next
step viii be to use every effort in the legislature to re-
duce the working hours from s to G.
H LEGISLATURE HAS THAT POWER TO RE-
DUCE THE NUMBER Of WORKING HOURS. Montana
voters gave them that privilege.
Hi~gh-powered lobbyists will swarm to Helena when
the legislature meets to use their scheming tactics in or
der to put over a reduction. Lobbyists have many times
successfully swung legislation that has had no place in
the laws of this state, and they re smart enough to do it
again.
If the state legislature favors a reduction in the
present working hours. Montana consumers and sellers
will pay. and pay heavily.
Montana is not ready for such a law. In Sheridan
county it would work a hardship on every citizen and
businessman.
If Sheridan county merchants, restaurant operators,
filling station operators and all other business establish
ments are forced to cut their employees time to six homs
and thus give enjoyment for a few hours to other per-
sons, somebody is going to pay. 1t won't be the business
man. During the past lean years he has had a hard
enough time to stay in business as it is.
Additional labor costs which will not warrant the
turnover in business will most surely be paid by the
consumer. The businessman will have a perfect right to
refuse to absorb the additional overhead cost. He WILL.
refuse.
Let Montana's legislature reduce the number Of
working hours to 6 and the consumer viii pay-and pay
plenty.

From Basement to Flagpole

The elections throughout the nation are over Can
didates ir office on every tickle. have promised to work
for tax reduction.
The most pressing relief needs OF the depression
period have passed. But in their wake will be a hang
over OF persons on the public payroll that will drain the
treasures of government and industry unless a drastic
program is inaugurated to cut off useless expense and
live up TO campaign promises to hold down and reduce
taxes.
The mopping-up process will have to begin in the
basement of the smallest city hall and go right through
to the geld ball atop the fagpole on the capitol at Wash
ington.
Nothing would do more to encourage people than a
feeling that an honest and determined effort was being
made throughout the nation to balance budgets and re-
duce taxation.
The answer rests with the people. Theirs is the pow
er to demand efficiency and economy in government, or
theirs is the power to break their own public treasures
and the taxpayers.
The first course leads 10 steady Jobs and good wages
The second course leads to unemployment, mortgage
foreclosures on homes and businesses, and the eventual
break dnwo of sound government.
We can't pass the buck-the answer rests with US
the taxpayers, the workers and our public servants.

Few Want the Dole

The fear has been expressed that government old
age pensions, which have been endorsed in principle by
both major parties would be a blow to the life insurance
industry.
But serious students of the question doubt that it
will-for two reasons.
The first is practical. Neither party has gone on
record in favor of big pensions-both favor rather small
payments, that would simply provide for necessities.
Persons who want a few luxuries must buy their own
old-age security.
Secondly-and this reason may be the most import
ant-the American citizen doesn't want to be a pensioner
unless he has to. He inherited the idividualstic charac-
ter of the pioneers. And he is going to make every con-
ceibable effort to assure a financially comfortable old
age through his own efforts, thrift and ability.
Whether we have government pensions or not, men
will still invest against the future in life insurance and
other savings programs-Wiliams County IN. d. Far
