GAINS MOSTLY
SMALL IN LATE
CURB TRADING

NEW YORK, June 5 G.N.SJ.
Curb stocks worked generally
higher in later dealings today with
only minor irregularity persiSting.
A few fair gains we're established,
but for the most part the market
held narrowly to previous closing
levels in another session Of light
trading.
The speciality list included the
bulk Of the better gains. Niles
Bement Pond, which ran up 4
points yesterday, achieved another
new high for the year on 3-point
advance to SIS. Bliss Company
climbed 11a points to 16 and a
similar gain was scored in the
higher priced Ohio Brass B. Jones
Laughlin was up almost 2 points.
Also displaying strength were
Greenfield Tap and Die, National
Steel Car, which ran UP 4 points
on an odd-lot sale, and Emsco Der
rick.
A good deal of irregularity was
apparent in the oil list. Creole
and Lion Oil turned lower, while
Gulf advanced a point. Mining
shares were quiet and mixed.
Gains in the utilities were princi-
pally fractional. National Fuel
Gas, Puget Sound Sc preferred,
and Brazilian Traction turned in
slightly better advances than the
rest of the list.

COTTON PRICES
0H|GHER

NEW YORK, June 5 G.N.sJ.
Persistent trade demand in a
light market encountered a
scarcity of offerings in late trad
ing today and cotton futures
scored gains up to 35 cents a
bale with the distant deliveries
displaying ewhat greater
strength.
A better tone in securities and
higher prices in Liverpool con-
tributed toward the advance,
which. was scored in the face Of
a somewhat more favorable crop
outlook.
The trade and the Far East
continued as principal buyers
while Liverpool and the conti-
nent were also purchasers. The
South and commission houses
sold.
Scattered showers were re-
ported overnight for both the
eastern and western sections of
the belt, with East Texas re-
porting fairly heavy rains.
The Dallas condition report
indicates that belated rains over
Texas will prove beneficial to
most of the crop, although rain
in a few areas will be excessive.
Some replanting will be neces-
Sary due to washed fields.
Warmer weather would aid the
crop. Planting is now virtually
completed but development of
the crop is being seriously ham,
pered by insects, which are ex.
pected to become worse if rains
continue.
Oklahoma progress is re-
ported average, although the
area is facing many of the Texas
problems of heavy rain and in
sect damage. New Mexico crop
progress is mostly good.
July closed at 1874, up A.;
October 1911. up 4; December
1857, up 3; January 1888, up a;
March 1915, up 7, and May
1878, up 7 points.

REz0NING PLAN
OPPOSED BY
CITIZENS
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Association Editor

Bradbury Heights Citizens Asso-
citation, at its final meeting Of the
season held last night at 1900
Bowen Rd. S. E., unanimously
opposed rezoning for commercial
purposes the area on Alabama
Avenue Southeast which faces
Fort Davis Park.
A letter drafted to send the
zoning Commission, argued that
too few people live in the area to
justify creation Of a business cen
ter, and that commercial develop
ment would mar the natural
beauty of the park and delay de-
velopment of a nearby section in
tended for homes.
The association approved a pro-
poSal Of adjacent property owners
to widen the south side Of Bowen
Road between Ridge Road and
Forty-fifth Place Southeast. A
letter was drafted for Capt. H. C..
Whitehurst. engineer Of highways,
urging the change.
This letter pointed out that the
roadway is only 40 feet wide, with
two feet of tree space and said
interested parties are willing to
have the District add three feet
of sidewalk and absorb the tree
space in road widening.
A request that an alley be cut
from Hillside Road and H Street
Southeast, between Burns and
Chaplin Streets was opposed.
The meeting was announced as
the last until the first Thursday
in September.

per cent in the number on pay
rolls, according to the monthly
review of the Federal Reserve

2.3 per cent from the preceding
month.
An increase in both the number
employed and in pay is noted also
in Maryland and Virginia.
Trade in department stores in

No Let-Up in C. I. O. Organization

When rumors Of peace brewing between
c. I. 0. and A. F. of l.. were spread around
a year ago, c. l. o. organizers reported a
dropping off in enrollments due to some un-
certainty about the future and a fear that
the newly organized might again be subject
ed to the A. F. of L.. craft policies that had
proved SO disastrous in the past. Union en-
rollments picked up again when it became
clear that the G. l. o. had no intention of
giving up its campaign of industrial organi-
cation.
This year, with conferences actually under
way between c. l. 0. and A. F. of L.. COM
mittees, c. |. O. leaders are having to take
precautions against similar results.
A message to all c. l. o. representatives,
in the headquarters bulletin for organizers,
emphasizes that nothing is being done or
contemplated in these conferences which
would involve any let-up in the campaign
of industrial organization which the c.. |. O.
has undertaken.
"On the contrary" the bulletin points out,
"the c.. l. 0. is increasing its organizing
activities, through a policy Of concentration
in industries where the best results can be
obtained, and there is need to push the work
more aggressively than ever, both for our
general purposes and so that our representa-
tives in the conferences with the A. f. Of l..
may have additional evidence Of the strength
of our movement and the s~oundness of our
insistence on preserving the principle of in
dustrial organization"

dustrial Union Councils for the mutual pro-

Collective Bargaining Pays

Collective bargaining with a genuine union
representing the workers of an industry is
not only the democratic method of procedure,
it is not only the method required by law and
increasingly demanded by all employees, but
it is also the modern and intelligent personnel
policy-and good business.
This realization is growing increasingly
upon corporations which never dealt with a
union in the years before the Committee for
Industrial Organization was formed, but
which have now had close to a years eX-
p%erience with the operation Of union agree
ments with the C. l. O..
Consider the following testimony from a
prominent member of the board of directors
Of the u. S. Steel Corporation, as quoted in
the NelU York Times, on the occasion of
Chairman Myron C. Taylor's announcement
that he would not accept reelection.
"All of U.s." said this official, "are heart and
soul behind MIR. Taylor in his agreement with
the c.. I. O., which actually saved the corpora
ton a great deal Of money and resulted in
United States Steel getting a much better
deal with labor than the independents"
The moral thus drawn is further pointed
by comparison of the earnings of u. S. Steel
and Republic Steel for the third quarter of
1887, as compared with the like quarter Of
1886. The earnings of U. S. Steel increased
125 per cent in this period, while those of
Republic decreased 2 per cent.
Tom Girdler Of Republic Steel may look
like a hero to other ~labor-hating malefactors
of great wealth for his last-ditch fight against
unionism, but not to any intelligent business
man.
In their resistance to collective bargaining,
he and his kind are merely trying, at great
cost to themselves, to dam up a river of prog
ress that will eventually and inevitably
sweep over them.
Montana labor news., 1937-12-02

lection and advancement Of c. |. c. unions
is also being continued, in line with the de-
cisions of the Atlantic City conference and
with the assurance expressed there by Chair
man John L. Lewis that in any conferences
with the A. F.. of L.. "your representatives
will do nothing that will in any way circum-
scribe or limit the influence or the trend Of
our movement, or in any way contribute
towards a lessening Of the effort Of our mu-
tual enterprise"
Effective labor unity can only con on a
basis that will insure the continuation and
expansion Of the present work of the c. I. 0.
A unified labor movement which will include
all of those now organized, with full rights
preserved, and which will permit the entry
through industrial organization of millions
more as yet u%norganized, is the aim of the
C. I. o. Organization is the first step to real
unity, and all may rest assured that, with or
without the cooperation of the A. F. of L.,
the work Of the c.. l. o. will go or.

"Be Content With Your Wages
Bv DIR CHARLES STELZLE

Executive Director, Good Neighbor League
Men twist the Scriptures SO as to produce
all sorts of economic a%bsurdities, varying
out of their true meaning the greatest and
most benefcent teachings of the Bible.
For example, they have taken the text ''be
content with your wages" to mean that work
ingmen have no right to strike for better
pay. But let us look for a moment at the
circumstances under which the words were
spoken and the persons to whom they were
addressed.
The story is found in the third chapter Of
the Gospel by Luke. The fearless preacher,
John the Baptist-who afterward was be-
headed because he dared d%enounce the reign
ing monarch for his sin-was speaking to a
great multitude that had come out to hear
him.
The burden of his message was summed
up in the single word Repentance" And it
was noted that this repentance had particular
reference to sins committed against men. AS
the preacher proceeded the people began to
ask, "What shall we do them"
He answered, "He that hath two coats, let
him impart to him that hath none; and he
that hath meat, let him do likewise" Then
came Ile puDlCdHo-LlG SONSIluICuI SAdltSlo
of the day, who likewise said to him, Master,
what shall we do?"
The preacher answered, Exact no more
than the law demands"
Finally came the soldiers-often the brutal
representatives-the policemen-of a foreign
government: men who we're following the
examples of their superiors by robbing the
working people.
"And what shall we do?" they asked.
And John the Baptist answered: DO vio-
lance to no man; neither accuse any falsely.
and be content with your Uages."
1t was not intended to teach that working
men in every generation should be content
with their wages. It had nothing to do with
aOorkingmen's wages. 1t was intended to
teach that these brutal, constituencies sol
diers should not demand from the masses of
the people, upon pain Of bodily injury, that
which did not %rightfully belong to the sol
diers, in order that they might add this money
to the wages received from the government.
The words, BE content with your wages
must be viewed in the light Of the spirit Of
the entire address. No one can successfully
deny that the preacher was making a fight
for the poor and the oppressed.
And so, instead Of degrading the t%oiler, this
injunction is actually a plea for fair treat
ment for the man who was powerless to re-
sist oppression.
Montana labor news., 1937-12-02

"It is also due, however, to a de-
liberate conspiracy on the part of
the big business interests to black
jack the people, the Congress and
the President into abandoning at
tempts at progressive, social and la
Dor legislation.
Defeated in the elections, the re-
dictionaries have declared a strike of
capital. They refuse to invest, they
refuse to employ labor, they refuse
to permit industry to operate, UNI
less Congress and the President fol-
low the dictates of Wall Street"
Insistence upon increased purchas-
ing power for the workers, farmers,
unemployed, small business men and
professional people is necessary to
continuance of recovery, the ALI
ance said. Immediate expansion OF
WPA, increased relief for the I'M
employed, enactment of a real mini
mum wages and maximum hours
bill, refinancing of farm mortgages,
legislation to guarantee cost of pro-
duction to the farmers, large scale

WASHINGTON.-(FP - Launch

the Workers Alliance, organization

In line with these needs the Ali

districts to protest against the eff

and invite unions to conferences
where plans will be made for action
