Passes Minimum Wage Law

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)- Two
more results of the supreme courts
reversal Of itself in upholding the
Washington minimum wage law are
now to be chronicled.
The Pennsylvania legislature passed
and sent to Governor Earle a mini
mum wage law for women and for
boys under 21. Newsboys, domestic
help and farm workers are exempted.
State Labor Commissioner John j.
Toohey, Jr., Of New Jersey, has stat
ed that he will name a minimum wage
board to enforce law passed in 1888,
but allowed to slumber unenforced
until Mr.. Justice Roberts changed his
mind on such matters, A notable cir
cumstance is that the New Jersey
Laundry Owners Association, repre-
senting so per cent of the industry in
that state, formally requested this
action.

NLRB ACTS TO
SECURE
Reparation For Victims Of
Anti-Uni0nists

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) Sixty
nine cases iii which the National La
Dor Relations Board have condemned
employers for unfair labor practices
now-since the Wagner act decisions
of the supreme court are being fol-
lowed up for settlement BY the
board.
Settlement includes reinstatement
of workers fired for union activities,
and payment to cover their losses in
wages due to such discharge.
The board is not able at the present
time to supply statistics on either
form of reparation. Many discharged
workers found jobs nearly or quite as
good as those from which they were
separated" because they joined or
asked others to join union, and the
wages collected from new jobs must
be deducted from back payments
But two instances may be given.
Morris Watson, discharged re-
porter, will collect from the Asso-
ciated Press a sum not much greater
than $40 a month for most Of the time
he was out He got job which came
that close to paying his original
salary.
On the other hand, the Washington
Virginia and Maryland Coach Co
fired 10 men for union activity, anc
absolutely refused to comply with the
decision of the board. At the time
the decision was rendered, something
like $4,000 would have settled the bill
But the bus company preferred tc
fight, back wages have accumulated
until now they are said to be in th'
neighborhood of $4,000.

Harlan County Witnesses Afraid
To Deny They Employed Thugs to
Wage War of Violence on Union

Washington, d. G. (ILNS) The La
Toilette civil liberties committee has
closed its investigation on Harlan
county, with the statement that it
may be renewed at any time, and
that the subpoena issued to bring wit
nesses remain in full force and effect.
This last is an item that makes the
Middleton thugs fairly froth at the
mouth. Any attack on these witnesses
while the subpoenas remain in force
is a federal offense, and must be
tried in the federal courts. And, just
at present, goodly number Of Har-
Ian county gunmen would rather
tackle Satan himself than face fed
eral court.
The closing sessions We're remark
able for one thing. Merle Middleton,
cousin of Sheriff Theodore Middleton
and former deputy sheriff, and
Pearle Bassham, owner of the Harlan
Wallins coal mine, were on the stand.
Both had been charged directly with
committing and hiring violence; and
neither of them dared to contradict
the witnesses who had so charged
them They took refuge in bad
memories
Bassham, under grilling, said that
he might have" paid deputies to
beat up union organizers; but he real
~ couldn't remember. It might not
have been against his company's poll
icy to pay its mine guards full time
while they were out "thugging' that

ory didn't serve him well enough to
deny these charges.

indicted for several offenses includ-

The Patternmakers' Association in

United Automobile Workers of

When the auto workers struck at
the General Motors Coach and Truck
Company in Pontiac, the pattermak-

Grant H. Ross, business representa-
tive of the Patternmakers' Associa-

After the strike was settled the
patternmakers were called back, but
not until an agreement had been ne
gotiated with the management recog-
mzing the association as the bargain

fishing a minimum starting rate of

increase over the old rate The 20

SEEING OUR
PROBLEMS
By DR.. CHARLES STELZLE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor
Deague

by LIN. CI1AItLEo . ELLDE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor
Deague
The biggest man on any job is the
one who has ideas. In facing our
problems this applies to personal
matters as we'll as to national affairs
there are four things that we must
do with them: First, we must see
them; second, we must study them;
third, we must state them; and fourth,
we must solve them.
The trouble with most of US is that
we reverse this process. This is what
is happening in industry, in politics,
in international affairs. We get to-
gether and Immediately we determine
that something must be DONE And
because we haven't any ideas about
the matter under consideration, we
finish up by passing a set of resolu-
tions or bindly setting up pro-
gram and then we go home feeling
that the job has been finished. But
| it hasn't even been begun.
1t is interesting that when some
body does present a real idea it acts
like an electric spark. The crowd
comes to life, and everything clears
up very quickly.
The man that stands out, therefore,
is the one who has ideas-the man
/ who can see the problem.
Confusion exists toady in our plans
and in our legislation to relieve the
world Of its distress because of our
ignorance Of the facts.
The principal job Of the problem
seers is to discover the causes Of the
chaos we are now facing. After these
have been made clear, we shall be
able to solve our problems. Then is
the time for the practical" man to
begin his part of the job.
But the ability to see is not limited
to the so-called wise men the great
men-of our times. They seem to
have bungled things pretty badly
Among the workers, who are close to
life, there are many who may have
the vision to see the problems in in
dastry. For after all, the fundamental
facts to be discovered are basically
/ human 1t does not require a college
degree to learn of what these consist
At any rate, the same principle
applies to personal relationships IL
the shop, in the home, in the labor
hall, or wherever else men and womer
may be associated in the affairs Of
life.
The first and probably the most
essential thing is to have an open anc
receptive mind New ideas do not
evolve from a brain crowded witt
prejudice.

Congress Proposal to "Take the Profits Out of War
Declared Labor Conscrption Measure and Menace To
Liberties and Civil Rights of Masses During Wartime

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
Hill-Sheppard bill, proposed as plan
to take the profits out of war;" is
regarded in labor circles as really a
plan to take away the hard won lib
critics of labor under pretense of ma
tional necessity
w. c. flushing, of the A. f. of L.,
appeared before the house and senate
committees considering the bill, and
registered labor's objections to the
one-sided autocracy which the bill
would create.
The Go did not appear formally
at the hearings; but the comments
from that quarter are quite as un-
complimentary as those of the A. F.
of L. Two railroad brotherhoods, the
Firemen and Enginemen and the
Trainmen, told the committees labor
objections to the bill
Further support to the fight against
the bill is coming from many quar-
ters.
Bill Held Dangerous
L. P. Straube, editor of the Chicago
Federation News spokesman for the
Illinois State Federation Of Labor, de-
clares that:
"The Hill Sheppard bill now pend
ing in congress is typical Of militar-
ism, economic royalty and profteer-
ing run to Legislative seed
Harold J Gibbons, assistant direc-
tor of the regional office of the CIO,
says:
'sThe bill is obviously dangerous
measure which, under the guise of an
emergency situation, can be used to
take away civil rights, particularly
the rights of labor"
Kill Bill, Others Urge
Two more railroad unions have
spoken their mind. g. B. Goble, of
the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, etc, sums it up
thus:
"The contents of this bill are de-
cidedly injurious to collective bargain
ing. We will exert every means al
our command to prevent the enact
ment Of this bill into law"
The Brotherhood of Sleeping Cal
Porters declares, through its interna
tional president, A. Philip Randolph

A large sedan came to a grinding

asked the lady attendant where the
rest room was located. She pointed
to a small building at the back Of
the lot. He started for it about SIS

line which had been attached to the
corner of the building and over to
tree The line caught him under
the chin; he swung out parallel and
dropped to the ground. AS he lay
there gazing up at the stars, al
though it was midday, the lady ran
out to see how badly he was hurt.
She told him how sorry she was for
not having told him about the
clothes line. "Oh, that's all right
