Never Has Been Winner.


NTEWSOM never has been a win
ming pitcher in the major leagues.
When he broke into the American
League in 1884, as a member of the
Browns, he won Is games and lost 20.
Last season he won none and
lost seven for st. Louis and only
broke even with an I'LL record
as a National.
But the fellows potentialities always
have wiped away the stigma Of his
win-a-lot, lose-a-lot-more records.
When Griffith handed the wad of
dough for him to Rogers HornSby
last May he was confident that New
som. amid new surroundings and
handled differently. would blossom
into a winning pitcher.
He still has time to do it, but
in the meantime he isn't help
ing much to boost the stock of
ball club that reasonably
could, with Newsom fulfilling
his promise, finish comfortably
within the American League

Failure to Run Last Straw.

TT ALL came about when Powell,
during yesterdays melee, sent a
pop fly to Third Baseman Marvin
Owen of Detroit. A runner, Dee
Miles, was on first base at the time
and when Owen caught a glimpse Of
Powell's disgust as he remained at
the plate he purposely dropped the
ball in hope of making double play.
Owen caught Miles at second and mar
rowly missed doubling up Powell when
Jake waited until the final second be-
fore running out his puny swat.
Harris Immediately yanked Powell
from the lineup. sending Miles to
right field and Carl Reynolds to center
in place of Jake. Last night Bucky
expressed determination to keep Powell
on the bench until ''he shows me
that he's ready to can the foolishness
and play ball"
Jake's rage at his inability to bang
out frequent base hits is not some
thing that has been acquired over
night. All season Powell has ex-
pressed his feelings to unnecessary eX-
tents, including the breaking Of a
water fountain in Detroit dugout
and the smashing of Washington bats
in front of the players bench. All
this Harris accepted but when Powell
refused to run out a pop fly it was
too much.

WAGES NOT RISING
FAST ENOUGH

Workers income is not rising fast
enough to lift production in the con-
sumer goods industries. The rise in
these industries in the first seven
months of 1886 was only Al per cent,
while production of producers goods
rose 34.4 per cent. While this recov-
cry in producers or heavy" indus
tries is essential, now is the time to
make sure that workers buying power
rises enough to sustain consumer in
dustries. For in the long run, the
heavy industries, after they have
made up the shortage Of machinery
and equipment, cannot continue high
production unless consumer industries
take the lead.-American Federation
of Labor Survey of Business.

A BLUE PRINT OF BIG BUSINESS
MORALS

The senate civil liberties committee,
now probing the labor spy industry, is
really making a blue print of the
moral code of big business. And the
lines in that blue print do not differ
so very much from those of a diagram
of the moral principles of a peniten-
tiary as one might think.
By sworn testimony concerning
known transactions, the committee has
established:
That big business thinks it has a
perfect right to hire known criminals
to fight its own workers. Twenty per
cent of an average group of strike
breakers had police records.
That big business holds it has right
to set hired thugs to beating strike

RURAL ELECTRIC LINES

Next thing you know, this country
will have some electric utility service
among its farmers.
The Illinois commerce commission
Just for nstance-issued some cer-
tificates of convenience and necessity
for the construction of rural line cleo
trio service in 1884, which amounted
to exactly TWO miles of line.
In 1885 the same commission was
jolted by something or other, and the
certificates of C. & N. covered the
construction of 118 miles of line.
In the first seven months of 1886
due to some ictus or other, the same
state commission issued certificates
of C. & n. which covered the con.
struction of 1851 miles of rural cleo
trio extension lines. 1t is said that

1900 Muskegon Workers
Given $50 Wage Increase

Muskegon, Mich. (AFLNS)-In-
creasing prosperity for industry gain
ed degree of formal recognition here
when a prosperity dividend" in the
form of five per cent wage increase
to employees was granted by the
Brunswick Bake -Collander Company,
one of Muskegon's largest industries.
The raise will affect 1900 workers,
effective October l. The increase is
additional to the wage boosts of from
five to ten per cent given to certain
groups of workers following meet
ing between the management and rep
resentatives of A. f. of L. Federal
Labor Union No. 1866, on June %.
President r. F. Bensinger, of the
company, in announcing the raise,
stated that for the first time in seven
years of losses, "the company's books
showed profit for July, and it was
probable that August might also be
| a profitable MONTH" Bar equipment
and other new products have been
added to this old firms standard line,
which includes the famous Brunswick
Balke-C -Collander billiard tables.

pickets with pick handles, just to stir
up trouble. Cases of this kind have
been sworn to before the committee.
That big business believes it has a
right to use deadly weapons against
men who want higher pay or better
working conditions. The committee
has the receipted bills paid by cor
porations for machine guns and rifles
for industrial purposes"
That big business claims the right
to trap striking pickets to their death
by electrifying fences. One case
where this was done was told to the
committee under oath.
The difference in moral ideas be-
tween big business and Al Capone
does not seem to be spacious.

Steel Pay Increase Declared
Withheld to Beat Roosevelt

Pittsburgh (ILNS)-Philip Murray,
chairman of the steel workers organ
izing committee, accused the Carne-
gie-Illinois Steel Corporation of with
holding wage increase to defeat the
reelection of President Roosevelt" !"
In a letter to Carnegie Illinois,
President Benjamin F. Fairless, Muir
ray charged that United States Steel
profits justified a wage increase and
intimated organized labor under the
S. w. 0. C. banner might compel such
a move. Fairless recently said that
the industry cannot afford a wage in
crease at this time.
Murray pointed out that U. S. Steel
accumulated $11, 100000 surplus in the
first half of this year.

Boost For Dressmakers

Philadelphia, Pa (AFLNS)-Phila-

union workers, has re-opened after
a shut down of four months, during
which time it was rumored the firm
intended to open production units out
side of Philadelphia.
The Penn Garment Company, en-
ploying about 200 workers, settled
with the union after four-day strike.
Wage increases of ten per cent and
a closed shop clause are included in
the new contract.

AMERICAN TOBACCO.
COMPANY
Fighting to Bar Union In
Reedsville Plant

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
American Tobacco Company, biggest
of the Big Four, is running true to
form in dealing with it's workers.
Between 800 and 900 persons are
employed at the American Tobacco
plant at Reedsville, North Carolina.
A large proportion of them belong
to the Tobacco Workers Information
al Union; but the company refused to
deal with the chosen representatives
of that union The matter was taken
to the National Labor Relations
Board.
Company Hampers NLRB
The board ordered an election, to
determine whether the union repre-
sented the majority of the workers in
the plant. The company Immediately
began to put obstacles in the way of
this election. 1t refused to give ac-
cess to its payrolls, so that the work
ers entitled to vote could be known
and it started campaign of intimi-
dation.
! When the election came, only 470
of the workers voted-and 463 of
them voted for the Tobacco Workers
International Union as their repre-
sentative in bargaining with the COM
pany. 1t made clear majority of
the workers. But up to date, the COM
pany has made no move to recognize
the result of the election which it
tried to prevent.
The simple fact is that the Big
Four object to unions because unions
interfere with their pet particular
graft. This is especially true of the
American Tobacco Company. Ten per
cent of the profits above a certain
sum are divided by that company
among certain officials. George
Washington Hill, president of Amer
lean Tobacco, collected more than a
million dollars a year for two years,
and slightly smaller squeeze" be-
fore and after.
Fairer Profit Division Feared
The tobacco business is a profitable
business; the experience of the inde-
pendent companies, which deal with
unions, pay union wages, and still
make money out of good cigarettes
which retail at 10 cents a package
proves that.
But good profits are not enough
to satisfy the insiders of the Big
-Four. They want it all. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics has
shown that only two per cent of
the income of the Big Four is
paid out in wages-two cents on
the dollar.

Memphis BARRIERS Union
Signs Up 20 New Shops

Memphis, Tenn. (AFLNS)-Twen-

Local Union No. 36, according to an
announcement by George B. McNam-
ara, business representative for the
local union. At one recent meeting
Of the local about so new members
were taken in.
Reports indicate that perhaps 80
additional shops may be signed in the
very near future and probably SO or
more additional members secured. The
campaign, which is proving very sue
cessful, has the solid support Of all
labor organizations in this vicinity.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1936-10-02

If-or when-the plants of the Big
Four are thoroughly unionized, the
unions will demand fairer division
that that and they will get it. That
is why the American Tobacco Com
pany refused to give a list of its
employees at Reedsville, and why it
is sulking now.
