Suspension Fails To
Hall Steel Drive

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.--Al-
though the 10 unions of the Com.
mittee for Industrial Organization
were faced with the threat of sus-
pension within 30 days, the stee'
drive continued in the steel com
pany towns of the nation.
"The Committee has made its pc.
sition clear" John L. Lewis, mine
leader and chairman Of the c. l. o
declared. sits plans to aid the
workers in steel and other indus
tries will continue undated. The
shame of the act of dismemberment
will lie on the heads OF the Coun-
Gil and they can answer to their own
membership"
In the meantime the terror
against organizers and workers ir
the steel towns also continues with
out let-up. In Bentleyville, Pa, fol
example, there are the White Cru
saders who work hand in hand with
Charlie Schwabb's Bethlehem Steel
Company and in Ellsworth, Pa, the
activities of the White Crusaders
overlap with those of the "Inde-
pendent Employees Association
Another Ellsworth worthy is John
Doctor, Republican constable, Local
dictator and unofficial employment
agent for Bethlehem Steel.
The c. l. o. is under fire of the
Executive Council Of the A. F. Of
L. and the American Iron and Stee.
Institute because it seeks to free the
workers of these gangsters and tc
organize them in bona fide labor
unions.

UNION 0FFERSA
LIBERAL PRIZE
FOR LABOR PLAY

For the first time in the history
Of the American labor movement .
union is offering a substantial prize
to encourage the writing of labor
plays, according to Julius HICKMAN,
vice president Of the international
Ladies' Garment union and chair
mar of its Educational Committee,
in announcing a $4,000 prize play
award.
In announcing the prize, Mr..
HICKMAN said:
1.-THE heroic struggles of Amer
lean labor now dominate not only
page l of American newspapers, but
invade the hearts and minds of all
thoughtful members of the commu-
nifty. They are part of the fabric of
American history being woven at an
accelerating pace today. In order
to spur the best creative minds in
terms of the theatre, both famous
and obscure, to express this vital
theme in terms of the theatre, the
Educational Committee of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union is offering prizes of
$4,000 and $1,000 for two original
f~ull-length plays.
I'm offering these prizes, the I. l..
G. w. U. hopes to do more than get
a couple of good labor plays writ
ten, though that would be no mean
object in itself. Prizes all too
often produce only their immediate
objective, and sometimes not even
that. 1t is our hope that these
prizes will play their part in the
creation of a vital theatre by en-
couraging the socially-conscious
playwright to turn his mind away
from the slick standards of Broad
way, from the banalities of the So
called polite theatre to the living
themes now reckoning from every
corner of the country.
Shakespeare said that the stage
must hold the mirror up to ma
ture." The mirror of the modern
stage is logged. The drama should
reflect life about us in all its
phases. Every breath that men and
women and the youth of today draw
is affected by social conflict and ma
tional problems almost entirely
ignored by the theatre. The heroic
struggles in steel, motors, rubber,
neutrality-suspicious. - the men
ace of Fascism in America-the slow
hunger of relief-all are historic
roles being interpreted by the peo-
pie of the country today. They are
pages for history to be written in
the future; let us help make them
themes for the American stage to-
day.
1--WE are convinced that a Board
of Judges composed Of distinguished
theatre personalities and represen-
tatives of the labor movement, act
ing as trustees for these l. L. G..
w. u. prizes, will be able to stimu-
late a lasting contribution to the
theatre of social content by encour-
aging and discovering playwriting
talent of the first order. We know
that the great masses of the popu-
lation will support and applaud
the kind of plays that make articu-
late their deepest aspirations-that
place real people in the roles they
really occupy in contemporary
American civilization. We know
there is a great audience eagerly
awaiting the plays; it is our hope
that these prizes will make that
period of waiting shorter"

test are advised to communicate with

BALTIMORE-(FP)-It was anc-
hors aweigh for the U. S. navy band
when Local 40 of the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians refused permis-
sion for the navy cornet-tooters
to play in Baltimore late in August.
The union acted after the band had
been invited to play at a city-spon-
sored concert because it felt that such
a practice would eventually harm
the job status of union members.

Paul Erler delivered a very clear
and enlightening address to the
delegates of the Trades and Labor
Council concerning his recent visit
to the convention Of Labor's Non.
Partisan League az Washington
D. G.
After expressing his happiness in
being permitted to once again APP.
pear before the delegates of the
Trades and Labor Council, Mr.. Err
Ter described the formation of La
boris Non-Partisan League, He sale
that it was created about 4 year agC
by the officers of some of the ma
tional unions. It has for its prime
purpose the reelection of President
Roosevelt. A long list of interna-
tional union officers who are mem.
bers of Labor's Non-Partisar
League was read to the delegates
MIR. Erler read a number of reso-
lutions that had been adopted by
the convention on August 10th
These resolutions clarity the pur-
pose of the League and indicated
that not only was the League Gre
ated for the purpose of r~e-electing
President Roosevelt but to establish
a foundation for the creation of a
strictly labor party in 1910.
Nearly every state in the union
was represented at the convention,
according to Erler, and he repre-
sented Montana as its state chair
man at the meeting. The delegates
were glad to get so clear a picture
of the operations of the national
unions in respect to their political
program.
