Newspaper Men Ruled
Fired" for Union Activity

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
National Labor Relations Board has
found that the Seattle Post Intelhgen-
Ger discharged Frank M. Lynch, pho
tographer, and Philip Everhardt Arm
strong, dramatic critic, because Of the
leading part they took in founding
and organizing the Seattle Chapter of
an organizing the Seattle Chapter of
the American Newspaper Guild. The
board ordered that Lynch and Arm
strong be reinstated with adjusted
back pay, and that the paper end all
interference with its employees in the
exercise of their rights to join labor
organizations.
The discharge of Lynch and Arm
strong led to long strike of Post
intelligencer editorial employees. The
strike was settled with gains for the
workers.
The Post Intelligencer is owned
and controlled by William Randolph
Hearst through series of subsidiary
corporations, all of which are named
as respondents in the decision issued
by the board. Hearst is also named
as party respondent.

WAGE COMPLIANCE
HEARING ORDERED

Columbus, Ohio (ILNS)-Seeking
to obtain better compliance with the
minimum wage law applying to hotels
and restaurants, Ora B. Chapman,
state director of industrial relations.
has called for a public hearing Feb
ruary a.
Representatives of the two indus
tries will be required to show cause
why mandatory order should not
be issued to compel them to pay the
schedule of minimum wages for
women and minor employees set up by
the state.
According to Miss Elaine Shelter,
superintendent of the minimum wage
division, more than $4,000 inyestiga-
tions have been made of alleged vio-
lations of the minimum wage laws
affecting the dry cleaning and hotel
and restaurant industries from Jan
uary Is, 1885, to November 80, 1886.
In the same period, $3,973.71 in
back wages were collected, IA cases
were successfully prosecuted in court.
and between seven and eight hundred
cases were settled by conciliation.
A minimum wage code is being
drafted which will safeguard the earn
ing power of women and minors en-
ployed in retail merchandising units,
according to Miss Shelter.

Q.-Has the American Federation
of Labor in recent years made any
declaration on war?
A.-The Tampa convention, held in
November, reaffrmed previous decla-
rations denouncing war as a means of
settling international disputes.
Q.-Has labor as whole gone on
record as condemning the Hearst pub
lications?
A.-No. The last A. F. of L. con-
vention rejected resolutions condemn
ing William Randolph Hearst and his
papers. 1t was pointed out that many
of the Hearst publications have con-
tracts with union, that his journal
lstic policies and opinions had nothing
to do with these contracts and that
under traditional American freedom
of the press Hearst had right to ex-
press any views that appeal to him.

When commerce slowed down its
shipping, railways ceased to run
It was the logic of a system which
could not run without profits
! Even though all past profits had
been safely garnered-
Heapedup profits would not suffice
to lubricate the national machine
There must be new profits; although
there was no use now for the old
Idle moneys, idle credits, blocked
the sluiceways of trade
Glutted savings banks became
prime cause of an economy of scar
city
Autocracy in economics failed to
function for the public needs
Accumulated problems of individual
men and families created a social
emergency
Individual initiative failing, demo-
cracy began to explore it's powers
Recognition dawned that social
machine calls for social controls
Individual wills furnished too mar
row base for balancing a national
structure
The national will began to emerge
and find expression in national action
y
Individual action, to be successful,
must be self-centered-
But action centering on individual
motives cannot solve social problems
In face Of social necessities, sim
ply fails to function
Becomes obsolete, at last vestigial,
to be sloughed off.

led back his last diamond. AS ex-
pected, declarer won the trick.
North correctly read the hand
writing on the wall and did his best
to thwart East's strategy. Declarer

with dummy's K. On a lead Of
dummy's Ace of clubs declarer dis
carded his last diamond. Then de-
clarer led a third round Of clubs
from dummy. West showed out,
by discarding a spade. Declarer
ruffed with his lowest heart.
The K Of hearts was led at the
seventh trick. East played low and
West'sAce won. Vests lead was
his last diamond. Instead of ruff
fling with his 7, taking a chance
that East could not overruff, de-
clarer ruffed with the 10, hoping
to drop outstanding trumps in two
leads. East discarded a low spade.
Declarer led his two high trumps,
but he was unable to pick up
Vests three hearts and had to go
down a trick on his contract.
South could have gone game at
diamonds. North's s..dtout was
bad. The opening lead would have
been a spade. :. East's Ace would
have won. The best return lead
would have been the Ace Of dia-
monds, followed by a low trump.
That would not have stopped game,
however. Dummy still held dia-
mond with which to ruff low
club, and declarer could return to
his hand by means of his K of
spades, then pull the last opposing
trump. All South need have lost
would have been to East's two
Aces
