ORGANIZED LABOR
Union-Made Clothing in Be-
half of Cincinnati ClO-
thing Strikers

Cincinnati, Ohio.-As the strike
of the three hundred Cincinnati
clothing workers of the Hamilton
Tailoring Company, the Lauer Tail
oring Company, the Brighton Tailor
ing Company, the Robert Tailoring
Company, and the Ohio Custom Gar
ment Company stretches into the
third wintry month, the militant
spirit of the strikers is receiving great
impetus from the support being ex-
tended to them by organized labor
everywhere.
Greatest response to the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of Americas
appeal to the labor movement for
moral support to the strikers is COM
ing particularly from the locals of the
united miners, the brewers, the ladies'
garment workers, while central labor
unions everywhere have enthusiastic
ally entered into the campaign to buy
union-made mems clothing only.
The sweatshop bosses are ganging
up together in the hope of crushing
the organizations spirit of their
striking workers. Thugs, imported
scabs, professional union-busting
lawyers have been hired by the gang
of sweatshop bosses to help defeat
the Amalgamated. Anthony Pesa,, a
leading striker, has just received a
five-day jail sentence, to add to the
growing number of Jail sentences met
ed out by local courts to the more
militant strikers.
Despite the elaborate efforts Of the
bosses and their henchmen, the strik-
ers are determined to hold out until
they win. Their determination in
creases as they witness the fine soli-
darity of labor, being shown by vet
eran unionists all over the country,
in the nationwide campaign of labor
to buy union label mems clothing.
The Storrs- -Schaefer Company, the
Windsor Tailoring Company, the p
H. Davis Tailoring Company are local
unfair to labor clothing firms, who
are beginning to feel the pinch of the
campaign of labor to buy union-made
clothing only.

Recovery Is Held Chief
Goal of Townsend Plan

Chicago (ILNS)-The fundamen-
tai purpose of the Townsend plan Is
not pension" but recovery" Rep
resentative-elect Werner w. Main,
republican, of Michigan, said in a
radio address here.
What this country needs" Main
emphasized, lis economic stability on
a high level of production and con-
sumption. What the country needs
is consumers who are ready, willing
and able to purchase the goods on
the merchants shelves and to buy
the products of our farms and fac
tories"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1936-01-10

Main charged that too great an
emphasis on the pension" angle of
the Townsend plan had fostered ridi-
cule of its purposes.
He listed the Townsend detectives
as:
l. Recovery to a high standard of
living.
2. Sterilization of industrial pro-
duction.
8. Vision to accomplish and make
real high standard of living.
4. A pension for the law-abiding
citizens eligible for honorable retire
ment.

PEACE ON THE RAILROADS

The first annual report Of the Ma
tional Mediation Board, printed last
week, shows vividly what crazy folly
is being preached and practiced by
the u S. Chamber of Commerce and
the National Association Of Manufac-
turers. These organizations never
weary Of crying aloud that labor un-
ions bring strife But the Mediation
Board reports:
Since the enactment in 1926 Of
the railway labor act, there has been
an almost unbroken record of peace
fuI settlements Of labor disputes on
therailroads This is testimony to the
soundness and effectiveness Of the
labor policies formulated by congress
in the railway labor act"
It is testimony to the fact that fair
play in labor disputes, where col
lective bargaining is accepted BY
both parties and supervised by a
government board strong enough to
enforce the law, is the only path to
industrial peace. But how long will
it take for big business to learn that
lesson?

THEY DECLARE WAR

Big business has openly declared
war against President Roosevelt. 1t
is not yelled threat on the part Of
big business. Instead, it is an open
declaration that anyone can under
stand. At the recent convention Of
the National Manufacturers Associa-
ton, held in New York, speaker after
speaker denounced President Roose-
welt and all the new laws and policies
that he has sponsored, including the
Guffey coal law. When the convention
was over, leaders Of the National
Manufacturers Association declared
that the association was now on rec
ord openly at war against the presi-
dent and that it would be war to the
hilt The National Manufacturers
Association is the most notorious
anti-union labor aggregation in the
United States. It is opposed to all
labor unions and opposed to unionism
in general. Among its members are
practically all Of those captains Of
industry and big employers who have
tried for years to kill the organized
labor movement
Not only did the National Manufac-
turers Association declare war on
President Roosevelt, the Gufey coal
law, the Wagner labor relations law,
the agriculture relie law and all
other progressive, reform and social
legislation recently enacted, but the
American Liberty League and that
old mutual-admiration society known
as the United States Chamber of
Commerce have done the same. They
are out in the open to defeat President
Roosevelt for reelection
All right, gentlemen. You have de-
clared war on the president and all Of
those who approve his policies. You
have declared war against labor and
the entire mass of common people Of
this nation. Labor and the common
people accept the challenge. There
are more than IL 100000 people out Of
work in this country, and you have
declared war against them, too, be-
cause in your declaration Of war you
make no provision for them to work
and live. Under the leadership of
President Roosevelt these 100000
unemployed people are being cared
for and kept from starving. You pro-
pose to take away that relief and let
these people 60 hungry Now, you
just wait till election day and see what
those 100000 people do to you at
the polls.
Gentlemen of the National Manu-
facturers Association, you have made

DANBURY STRIKE
 HAS BEEN ENDED

Danbury, Conn, July l5-(UPl --The one-day strike of workers ct the George H. McLachlan hat com pany was settled today at noon as ten manufacturers signed union agreements deciding wage scale effective until May 1, 1887.
 The existing rates, agreed upon orally two months ago, will be con- tinued, 1t was announced, except manufacturers will be permitted to turn out 25 per cent of their out- put ct slightly reduced rates. This stipulation, however, applies only to the making of mems hats and in no way affects the scale on womens hats over which trouble started yesterday at the McLachlan plant.
 Only one hat company, the Hoyt- Messenger Company failed to sign today's agreement.
 Fifty McLacflai workers walked out protesting that an unannounced reduction had been put into force July 8, later withdrawn, and again made effective because the company wished to place cheaper hats on the market.
 The scale reduction on 25 per cent of the output was agreed upon because of rising fur prices, 1t was said,

 Winter wheat-harvest is practically completed in Kansas and Illinois, and in progress in Minnesota, Wis., cofisill. and Montana, Threading progressed rapidly in Ohio. The yields averaged good in Missouri, satisfactory in Ohio, and fair or better in indiana. The crop is fair in Michigan, poor to fair nj Wis., consiil, and is expected to be light in central and good in northwestern Montana.
 Spring wheat-there was further deterioration in most of the belt.
