Labor Board Dissolves
Harvester Council Plan

EMPLOYER corporations were
- hit by a ruling of the National
Labor Relations board ordering the
dissolution of the industrial coun-
Gil plan" of the International Har-
vester company at the plant in Fort
Wayne, Ind.
While the ruling dealt only with
the Indiana plant, the board point
ed out that the same plan also ex-
lists in the other IA Harvester plants
in the United States and Canada. It
sets precedent also for future de-
cisions in regard to similar plans
in other manufacturing plants
throughout the country.
The industrial council of the Har-
vester company is an illegal labor
organization under the terms of the
National Labor Relations act, the
board ruled. Under it the employees
possess "only the shadow, not the
substance, of collective bargaining"
according to the decision. Numer-
GUS benefits conferred on the en-
ployees under the plan are admitted
but the board says most of them
care granted in the form of pater-
nalism."

Government Buys 9 Million
Acres of Poor Farm Land

D EXFORD G. TUGWELL, Re-
IN settlement administrator, an
nounced that the government had
acquired more than nine million
acres of land considered unsuitable
for crop production, and he added
that it should buy ten times as
much. The Resettlement admin
istration is committed to pay $780,
916,603 for the land, under option
in 210 different projects in A states
at an average price of $40 an
acre.
These acres, Tugwell said, "could
not support human subsistence"
when used as they have been, and
so were being restored to grazing,
forestry, recreation, and other use
for which they were naturally fitted.
Tugwell reported 5,476 families
still residing on the tracts twill
need aid in resettling." More than
1000 families already have been
moved, it was disclosed, and many
others found new homes without aid.

Steel Workers Ask
for Legislation

FIRST of the big groups that aid
ed in the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call on him for
their reward, the steel workers
have asked that the Chief Executive
recommend to the next congress the
passage of legislation outlawing
company unions and forbidding CO.
ercion of workers by employers.
George A. Patterson and Elmer
]. Malol, employee representatives
of the Carnegie-Illinois Steel COM
pany, carried this request to the
White House.
The Carnegie Illinois company
has offered employees a 10 per cent
wage increase on condition that
workers sign an agreement to per-
NIT adjustment of wages to the cost
of living. At his press conference
President Roosevelt said living
costs should not be permitted to OPP
crate to curb wage increases. Fur
thermore, Secretary of Labor Per-
kins ruled informally that the en-
ployee representatives had no au-
thority to sign such an agreement
for their fellow employees.

Loyalists Defend Madrid
With Desperation

T OYALIST defenders of Madrid,
~ reinforced by troops from the
southeast and apparently supplied
with airplanes and tanks from Rus
STA, put up unexpected resistance
to the furious attacks of the
Fascists, delaying the capture of
the capital. The insurgents sent
many planes to rain bombs on the
city and there were dramatic bat
ties in the sir as well as on land.
The attackers at one time smashed
the defending lines at the Los
Franceses bridge and forced their
way across the Manzanares river
and into the northwest quarter of
Madrid, but probably retired, for
the loyalists dynamited the bridge
and captured several rebel tanks.
The new supreme defense council
in the capital, taking charge when
the president and other government
officials fled to Valencia, was re-
ported to be functioning smoothly
and was confident of ultimate vic
tory over the rebels, even if Madrid
were lost to them.

Clark Howell, Eminent
Editor, Is Dead

GultOI, ID DSdu
CLARK HOWELL, editor and
~ president of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition and one of the best known
journalists in the United States,
died at his home in Atlanta at the
age of seventy-three after a long
illness. He was one of the original
directors of the Associated Press.
He was elected to the position at the
time of it's incorporation in 1900
and held it at the time of his death.
Always active in state and ma
tional politics, Mr.. Howell was a
pioneer in the formation of "Roose-
welt for President" clubs. He was
offered his choice of several dip
lomatic posts in 1888 but declined,
saying he felt he could better serve
the President and the nation as
publisher of the Constitution. He
was at various times a member of
temporary national commissions,
but in the main devoted his time
to his journalistic labors. A few
years ago the Constitution won the
Pulitzer prize for ''meritorious serv-
ice" in exposing political conditions
in Atlanta.

President Starts on
His Ocean Cruise


RESIDENT ROOSEVELT went
by train to Charleston, S. c., to-
board the cruiser Indianapolis for
a jaunt in southern waters. He said
he was not certain where the ship
would take him, but in Washington
it was assumed that he would pro-
coed at once for Buenos Aires to
attend the opening of the Pan-Amer-
lean peace conference on Decem-
Der |. In that case he will make
stops at Port of Spain, Rio de JAN
Giro and Montevideo, and will not
return before December Is. If his
plans are changed, he will merely
spend two or three weeks fishing
in the Caribbean.
At his last press conference be-
fore departing the President said
he had about completed drafting
the 1887 budget. He said also that
he had outlined to his subordinates
the things he wants done during his
absence, these including:
Drafting of farm tenancy law
to end evils attending the system of
share-cropping and farm tenancy,
now chiefly prevalent in the South.
Clarifying amendments to the So
cial security act.
Amendments to the Tennessee
Valley Authority act, permitting
broader social and economic inn
provement of the regions served by
the TWAS huge power projects.

on Social Security Act

NV HEN the American Fedora
w ton of Labor's annual con-
vention opened in Tampa it had be-
fore it the report of the executive
council dealing with, among many
other topics, the social security act.
The report heartily approved of a
federal social security program and
urged adoption of state laws that
would give labor the greatest pos
sible benefit from the federal stat
ute. If the federal law is unconsti-
tutional, the council said, sit is clear
that its provisions must be changed
or that sanction must be afforded
to them through an amendment to
the constitution"
The council questioned the wis
dom of obtaining the necessary
funds through payroll tax (which
to a great extent is to be paid di-
rectly or indirectly by the workers
involved" and suggested that con-
gress repeal this feature of the law
as soon as it convenes.
In discussing unemployment since
NRA's end, the council said:
''The shorter work week and the
six hour day furnish the real solu-
ton to the insistent problem of UNI
employment. 1t is the responsibility
that private industry must accept in
order to give the necessary balance
to economic expansion"
The council reported a member
ship of 1922 1893 on August 3l-the
greatest since 1921.

Belgium Asks Specific
Pledge From League

WITH embarrassing directness,
w Belgium has demanded that
the League of Nations be specific
on what help an attacked member
nation "could count on" In a note,
she demanded Qualification of the
league covenant, particularly the
article applying to sanctions against
an aggressor. Efforts to prevent
war should be emphasized by the
league, Belgium said, and mea-
sures against countries which en-
danger peace should be improved
upon.
In a recent speech to parliament,
intended to clarity a previous
address by King Leopold, Foreign
Minister Spaak said his country
would assure both Germany and
France that Belgium never would
become the jumping off place for an
attack on the territory of either
power.

lied the German rivers and canals.
He has announced that the reich has

that nation now has agreed with
