Union Truck Drivers Win
Strike in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Pa. (AFLNS)-Abriet
strike by Truck Drivers Local No
LOT, international Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America, won distinct
victory in union recognition, with the
question of hours and minimum wages
to be determined by a fair practices
committee, headed by Mayor Wilson
The walkout was called at the pro-
duce terminals of the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore and Ohio railroads,
spreading rapidly to loading plat
forms of merchants along the Della
ware river, for time threatening the
loss of 100000 in perishable goods.
Six hundred cars Of perishables were
on the siding when the strike was
called, after previous futile attempts
to gain union recognition and thus
bring about wage and hour adjust
ments desired by the workers.

1000 Glass Workers Strike
At Libbey-Owens-F. Plants

Toledo, Ohio (ILNS)-Nearly 1000
workers walked out at the three Lib
bey Owens Ford bat glass works here,
in Charleston, West Virginia, and
Shreveport, Louisiana. This COM
pleted the tie-up of all the main fiat
glass works. Pittsburgh Glass Com
pany workers have been out since
October, and the Libbey- Owens-F Ford
plant at Ottawa, Illinois, has been
closed down for two weeks.
All told, nearly $4,000 men are out
The plants are being kept warm in
most places, however. The two com
panies affected produce about 85 per-
cent of the fat glass; and their prod
uct is indispensable to automobile
making.
Reports from Detroit say the auto
plants have stocks of glass to last
for months. This is the kind of state
ment always made, however; and the
general belief is that the pressure or
autos will be felt within three weeks
to month at most.

Five More States Adopt
Unemployment Insurance
By A. F. of L. News Service.


Washington, D. C.--Spurred by the
desire to obtain for their states the
statutory share of the federal gov
ernment's unemployment insurance
tax levied on payrolls, effective Jan
uary !, the legislatures of North Car
olina, West Virginia, New Mexico,
Virginia and Ohio have enacted, with
in the space of one week, laws drafted
in accordance with the federal social
security act granting compensation to
thousands of unemployed workers.
In most Of the states the benefits
for the unemployed are not available
until 1938-a year after the federal
law becomes effective.

New Inquiry Ordered in
Vice Coercion Charges

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) The
senate campaign expenditures com
mittee has ordered its chief investi-
gator, Louis CLAWS, to make a new
inquiry into charges that several busi-
ness firms in Pennsylvania's Goth
congressional district sought to in
timidate employees into voting the re-
publican ticket in the national election
At the same time it dismissed num-
erous similar complaints against sew
eral large Ohio and Pennsylvania cor
porations, including the Timken Rol-
Ter Bearing Co., Canton, Ohio; the
Carnegie-lllinois Steel Co., Clarion
Pa; the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co.

Mine OPERATORS
Ask Longer Week at Pres
ent Wage

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Eight
soft coal mining companies have noti-
fled John l.. Lewis and through him
the United Mine Workers of America
that they, the companies, will demand
an eight hour day and 40-hour week
with no increase in pay over the
7-hour day and 35-hour week now
prevailing under contract which ends
March 81, 1887. Their letter to Lewis
says:
"The operators offer to the United
Mine Workers of America continu-
alton of the present wage schedules
per day, per ton and per yard; that
the work day be established on an
eight hour basis of five-day week;
that the hourly rates be adjusted IN
accordance Herewith so that the same
earnings per day per worker will be
maintained as is now paid for seven
haur day; and that the unit rates
for piece work remain the same as
under the present Appalachian wage
agreement dated September 26, 1885. "
At least three companies in which
the Mellon interests have sizeable in,
vestments in the eight signers of this
letter They are the Pittsburgh Coal
Company, Koppers Coke Company,
and Consolidated Coal Company.
1t is considered there is no chance
that the miners will consent to this
substantial wage cut For one thing,
the anthracite operators have signed
a new agreement, going into effect
April l, continuing the 35-hour week.
For another, the soft coal miners have
been planning to ask 30-hour week
with the same wage as at present.
The present basic wage is $3.50 a
day in nothern fields, and $50 in the
South.

MAYOR LA CUARDIA
New York City Executive Vetoes Big
Order For Business Machines Be-
cause of Concerns Unfair
Labor Practices
By A. F. of L. News Service.

| New York, N. Y.-Organized labor,
solidly supporting the striking en-
ployes of the Remington Rand, Inc.,
protested so bitterly over the award
of contract by the city of New York
to that firm for business machines,
that Mayor La Guardia vetoed the
ordinance that was intended to auth
orize the purchase. The amount in
volved was S126,795, net, after deduct
ing trade-in allowances.
The Central Trades and Labor Coun-
! ell, A. F. of L. affiliate, led the pro-
/ test of labor that resulted in the Con-
troller agreeing to use the present
equipment until some future time
when an adjustment may be made" ;"
In his veto message, Mayor La Guar
dia stated that application may again
| be made when normal conditions are
restored" Over 100000 cards are
used for filing in the Finance Depart
ment, where the proposed new equip
ment was to be placed.
The Remington Rand strike has
been in effect since last May. An in
vestigation by the National Labor Re-
lations Board has revealed that the
firm has used gun-play, labor spies
and about all the despicable tricks of
violent anti-unionism in an effort to
defeat the striking employees, who are
still holding firm.

By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS.-The offer of John
D. M. Hamilton to resign as chairman
of the Republican National Committee
as result of the widespread criti-
cism of his handling of the 1886 poll
tical campaign, together with loud
and insistent demands that the party
policy be liberalized, has caused some
peculiar reactions on the part of GER
tain gentlemen who were closely asso-
ciated with Mr.. Hamilton in that cam
paign.
For example, there is Arthur M.
Curtis, Republican national committee
man from Missouri. Mr.. Curtis is loud
and vehement in his defense of the
policy pursued at the Republican ma
tional headquarters in Chicago last
fall
He told a reporter for daily news
paper that if Mr.. Hamilton was forced
to resign, then all of the state chair
men should also resign because they,
one and all, were equally guilty with
the Republican high command in car
rying out those policies.
Reasoning Is Not Good
To the unthinking that would ap-
pear to be good reasoning, but to
those who know the facts it is sophis-
try used in the hope that it will get
Mr.. Curtis out of deep hole of his
own digging.
The Republican National Committee
selected an executive committee com
posed of its members to have direct
charge of the campaign, which was
managed so crudely that some mem
bers of the national committee who
were not members of the executive

committee have been outspoken in
their criticism in private conversation,
and a number of state chairmen and
others have made the air blue when
discussing the subject.
Arthur NJ Curtis Of Missouri was
one of the "big shots" at Republican
national headquarters in Chicago last
fall. 1t was he who organized the
"open shop" division and tried to hide
it ten blocks away from the regular
headquarters. He was in supreme
command of all activities in reference
to the labor vote. He took the Gym
ical attitude that the unorganized wage
earners could be cajoled or bludgeoned
into voting the way that Curtis and
his colleagues wanted them to vote.
Showed Profound Ignorance
Curtis also believed that the un-
organized wage earners as rule were
against the unions. He also did not
know better than to set up his "open
shop" division headquarters within a
stones throw of the offices of several
very large unions and in the heart of
one of the worlds largest trade union
centers. He hugged the delusion that
he was slick enough to come from a
small Missouri community and nut ii
over on the wage earners of America
Now that deserved punishment is
about to overtake him, he becomes
frightened and pleads that he alone
was not guilty. Of course there were
Others. 1t took lot of money to pay
for the destructive policy followed by
Curtis, and those who gave him the
money are equally guilty with Cur
It's and his playmate and chief assist
ant, Robert Kratky of st. Louis.

Niles, Mich. (ILNs)-A 12-day

Four Recommendations

The committee, on the generaliza.
tions given above, makes four recon-
mendations:
/. Production control. The com
mittee believes mankind will be best
served by an economy of abundance
and that production control shoulo
be an emergency measure to check the
destruction of social values.
2. Hours and wages.-The commit
tee advocates a minimum wage in in
dustry and the payment of substan
tial overtime rates; both to curb un.
fair practices and add to the buying
power of workers.
8. Trade practices The committee
believes that national policy mus
curb unfair competitive practices.
A. Permanent advisory council
The committee strongly recommends
the creation of permanent nationa
economic council, members appointed
by the President by and with the ad
vice and consent Of the Senate.

washington, ~. y. llLNS1 - Inc
conference of the Council for Indus
trial Progress recently held in this
city named committee to restate the
detectives of the National Industrial
Policy report, adopted last March and
now reaffirmed. The conference was
composed of representatives of labor
and management. The chief points of
the restatement are as follows:
''The Committee on National Indus
trial Policy recognizes that under our
form of government it is commonly
understood it's citizens are accorded
the widest exercise Of freedom to en-
gage in open and fair industrial COM
petition with one another, to exercise
initiative and enterprise, and, spurred
by the incentive for profit, they are
accorded the widest degree of freedom
to continually develop and improve in
dustrial facilities and thus most eff
fectively contribute to the national
we'll being.
Notwithstanding this recognition
of individual rights, industrial ex-
perience and economic facts conclu-
sively show that this objective has
not been fully and completely real
lied. For this reason, the public well
| fare demands that that degree Of
governmental restraint shall be ex-
ercised on private industry which will
require its management and owner
ship to administer business and in
dustry in such way as to preserve
and protect social justice, equity, and
fair dealing.
Regulation Is Necessary
"The crash of the speculative boom
of 1929, the creeping economic paraly-
sis which followed it, the uninter-
rupted and Overwhelming circle Of
unemployment which grew concur
rently with that paralysis, and the
critical condition which developed il
our banking system in 1888, all af
ferded specific and factual evidence tt
show that private enterprise cannot
safely be permitted to administer
business and industry entirely free
from governmental intervention.
i "The market for the products
of industry must depend upon the
buying power of the people. 1t
will expand and contract in con-
/ formity with the increase and de-
| cline of buying power. Conse-
quently, if our present economic
4 system is to be preserved, indus
try must be so administered as to
| provide for return to the people,
| who constitute the market, of
buying and consuming power suf
/ ficient to purchase and use the
products of industry.
"The committee believes, therefore
that the Industrial policy of this ma.
tion should now be one designed tc

increase the buying power of the con-
suming market through the mainte-
nance of adequate wage scales, the
progressive lowering of selling prices,
wherever and whenever made possible
through cost reductions, by reason of
chronological or other production inn
provements, and the reduction Of
