LABOR DAY, 1896
By WILLIAM GREEN
President, American Federation of Labor

employment of the unemployed is not
business activity or the recovery of
profits. For those who are employed
we must secure higher wages and
shorter hours. The steady rise in bust
ness activity and profits indicates the
opportuneness of demands for higher
standards The rise in the costs of
living make such demands imperative.
We face, in addition, the serious
problem of extending our provisions
for unemployed so that there may
be normal opportunities for those ex-
cluded from existing business by
technical progress. There again the
labor movement must insist upon
equal opportunities for all in our new
economic environment.
We face another phase of labor's
age-long struggle for freedom under
all conditions. Unless the labor
movement does its part, the results
will be serious for our Nation, for the
labor movement is essential to bal
ance in both our economic and our
political progress. We have seen in
other countries that the downfall of
free labor movements has always pre-
saged the loss of civil liberties.
We are upon critical period in
world affairs as well as in our own
country 50 that our first concern
should be the strengthening and ad-
vancement of our organized labor
movement, that the workers as well
as all society may be safeguarded and
bettered Organization is the first
step in progress and is essential to
maintain existing gains. May organ
ization be our continuous concern.
Upon the rank and file Of workers as
well as union officers rests responsi-
bility for taking advantage of oppor-
tunities and of solving our problems.
May each and every member Of or
ganized labor be ready and alert to
do his full part for our common ad-
vaneement.

Textile Unemployment
Caused By Stretch-Out

Newport, n. II. (AFLNS) Wages
in the wool and worsted industry drop
ped 34.8 per cent from 1923 to 1885,
according to a statement here BY III.
A. Riviere, a vice president Of the
United Textile Workers of America.
Employment in the industry has de-
clined 67,773 from 1923 to 1885.
The well-known "stretch-out,' in
creasing machine load per man, was
blamed by Mr. Riviere for the unem-
ployment in the industry, III an adj
dress before a conference of workers
from Maine, Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. He pointed out that, while
there has been an increase Of 100
per cent in the consumption Of wools
by the mills in 1885, the man hour
gauge Of employment has increased
only so per cent.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1936-09-04

Labor Day, 1886, records a year of
which progress has developed. Dur
ing the year unions have increased IN
membership. The trend toward busi-
ness recovery is unmistakable. The
administration Of the social security
act is in process of organization while
the judiciary threatens to nullify our
efforts to assure workers rights by
legislation The social security act
is recognition of society's response
bility for providing security from
another source than property owner
ship. There are many who have no
opportunity to acquire sufficient
property to achieve security. For this
large group income for emergencies
must be provided if they are to be
relieved Of the burden of insecurity.
The spectre which haunts the wage
Garner through his productive years
is loss Of job. This spectre takes on
blacker terrors as the worker grows
older and faces inability to secure
other jobs The social security act
attempts to relieve the major emer-
gencies; it provides:
Federal old age benefits to which
employers and employees contribute
jointly in addition to federal subsi-
dies to matching state old age pen
sions provisions up to SIS per person;
Federal financial incentives to
states to enact unemployment COM
pensation laws;
Federal plans for public assistance
to widows and dependent children
crippled children, and for blind per
lsons;
4 Federal grants to states for public
health work. As result, fifteen
states now have unemployment com
lpensation acts, thirteen of which have
been approved by the Social Security
/ Board, and every state has increased
the security provided its residents,
taking advantage of at least one OPP
iportunity afforded by the social secur-
iity act. This is a remarkable achieve
ment for so short a time. It is labor's
hope and ambition to secure legislation
Ito enable every state to participate
fully in all types of federal aid offered
Hby this measure. These constructive
Legislative enactments constitute the
! beginning of constructive plan to
assure to every citizen an income to
provide the necessaries of life under
all eventualities. When there is a
measure of economic security so that
I persons are sure of shelter, food and
clothing, freedom takes on new
meaning.
1t would be well if our Labor Day
celebration included plans for a de-
velopment Of fully rounded security
program in every state efficiently adj
ministered with labor's cooperation.
Labor should take the initiative in the
Legislative program and then must be
ready to follow closely administrative
policies and procedure. Unless this
program is administered as a right
of labor it becomes a mere relief
program which does not make for
freedom.
In addition to our opportunity to
advance social security, we face a re-
sponsibility to all unemployed wage
earners. 1t is obvious that recovery
for business is at hand, but re-

associates alter their present attitude.
Possible committee action may also
involve further subcommittee consid-
Grafton inasmuch as the Blanton pro-
posal also affects the judges Of the
several courts. Blanton criticised the
judges who teach in the law schools
here when he learned, at hearings on
the District appropriation bill, that
many of them receive salaries IN ad-
dition to their compensation as court
officers.
The resolution would apply to all
outside employment by judges, similar
to a provision added to the appropria-
ton bill applying to physicians en-
ployed by the District Health Depart
ment.
In setting up new academic re-
quirements for law degrees, Blanton's
proposal would demand high school
graduation, two years successful study
in Grade A college or university
and three full years study In the law
school. No law school with night
classes exclusively would be per-
mitted TO grant a degree, but night
classes would be permitted in schools
maintaining regular day class sched-
ules.
Asked If pending appropriations
might not be used to influence the
selection of school officials. the Com.
missioner added:
I'VE would make as good fight for
needed school appropriations as pos
sible. We would have to let it go at
that. If Congress refused to appro-
pirate for the needs of the schools we
would have to leave that to Congress.
II don't think there would be any
more politics in the school system than
there is now."

the new supervisory officer would re-
ceive $500.
The District Commissioners would
be given power to remove the members
of the Board Of Trustees or any SUBJ
ordinate officer or teacher Of the
school system.
Causes for removal would be:
Incompetence, disloyalty to the
United States Government, attempt
ing to indoctrinate Communism or any
other subversive belief inimical to the
institutions and Constitution of the
United States"
Blanton attributed the present plan
of organization Of the school system
to designing persons seeking to use
the public schools for Interior pur-
poses" who succeeded in having the
present law enacted July 20, 1906.
In the preface of his resolution he
asserted that "the American Legion.
the Federated Citizens Associations
of the District of Columbia, the Dis
trict of Columbia Public School Asso-
citation and the Ladies of the Grand
Army of the Republic, through their
duly credited representatives, and
many teachers and citizens have COM
planned and furnished evidence of a
studied, deliberate attempt to indoc-
trinate communism in the public
schools Of the District of Columbia,
and of the total unfitness Of the
superintendent of schools and mem
bers of the present Board of Educa-
| ton to longer control and administer
the public schools of the District of
Columbia"
Commissioner Hazen, who along
with the other Commissioners de-
clined to discuss the nature of Blan-
tons conference at the District Build
ing Friday, declared today that If
such a proposal came to him for an
opinion, he would favor its enactment.
HaZen was one of the sponsors of
the so-called Prettyman bill, proposed
year ago, to increase the powers Of
the Commissioners. That bill in
cluded reorganization Of the School
Board so as to give control or the sys-
tenn to the Commissioners.

McALESTER, Okla, May lex
pecting momentarily to shoot it out
with the leader of last weeks daring
break from the State Penitentiary, a
prison posse followed fresh tip today
on the mountain hideout of Claude
Beavers.
Four carloads of guards, with pack
of rested bloodhounds, closed in on
sector near Clayton after hearing the
weary and footsore ringleader had
raided a farm home for food.
Only two others of the original "a
fugitives remained at large. Julius
Bohannon was believed to be hiding
in the McCurtain County hills, where
he killed two officers three years ago,
and A. C. Macarthur apparently had
eluded his pursue-s.
The farm family was not at home
when the starved fugitive dashed from
cover. He had been flushed twice by
hounds, but disappeared into under
brush again before possemen could
take him.
The manhunters had a warning
from Claude Fugate, Beavers recap
tured companion, that the desperate
leader was determined to die rather
than return to prison. Once before
he had fired at officers on his heels.
Alex Watson, prison transfer agent,
believed, however. the outlaw would
surrender if cornered.
IF he gets chance to kill one
man and escape over his body he will
do it." he said. IF he finds himself
facing a number of guns he will throw
his down and come running out, beg
ging like baby. He is that kind OF

After a mild protest she agrees to
display her home and does so with

Answers Few Questions.
So frequently has the project been
attacked that Administrator Flynn
and his staff of nearly 80 persons have
adopted a policy of answering few
questions, particularly those dealing
with costs. At the school Miss Clapp
also resists interviews and her teach
ing staff shows similar disapproval OF
questioning, although spokesman
was designated to give assurance that
standard text books are used in all
courses with no attempt to teach So
cialism or any other theory Of gov
ernment contrary to our own.

cline to speak freely Of life in Arthur

A hope that Boys club movement

today by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Since establishment of the police
boys club two years ago, Maj. Brown
has been in close touch with the
heads of police departments in prac-
tically every part of the country, and
many cities already have indicated
they will inaugurate similar organi-
cations for boys under the guidance of
their police departments.

A similar charge was made today
by Mrs. Marion Wade Doyle, president

would be possible to have carpet bag
