Montana Labor News,
Butte, Montana.
I read the article in the Sept. 16
issue of the Montana Labor News
concerning the raise in hours for
the security earnings on WPA sew
ing room projects with great in
terest.
I am at a loss to understand how
the reactionaries in the WPA adj
ministration yer able to get their
views printed in a labor paper as
facts to be considered seriously by
Montana's Organized Labor.
I can only conclude that you are
unfamiliar with the actual situation,
and am setting forth a few facts for
your information.
First, the reports of the WPA on
production per worker and the re-
ports Of the workers show a great
discrepancy and should be investi-
gated by responsible representatives
of the government, and not by the
representatives of the WPA State
Office, whose only object in the past
has been to cover up any apparent
Irregularities. However, we have
been able to find and force distribu-
ton of articles that had apparently
vanished as far as the WPA and
Surplus Commodities were con-
cerned, and our only clue vas the
reports that these articles were
made in the sewing rooms.
Second, the sewing room workers
are doing all that car be expected
Of these workers by any responsible
person who has a fair knowledge of
a days work. This can't be said Of
the WPA Administration as the SUI
pervision personnel of Women's
Projects which is packed with politi-
cal appointees, favorites and stool
pigeons, r a hindrance to efficient
work.
Third, this cut in hourly wage
scale is just a f%orerunner Of other
cuts to come if the state WPA office
is able to get away with this cut in
women's scales. The reason the
women were singled out for this
discrimination was because they
were organizationally weak and they

WHAT IS The A |. u.

A group OF militant Catholic union
men, following the instructions of
the Holy Father, Plus XI, founded
the A. C. T. U. (Association of Cath
Ole Trade Unionists) on the after
noon Of February q, 1897, at the
Catholic Worker headquarters in
New York City.
The purpose of the founders was
not to organize Catholic unions as
some have thought, but to build up
an organization Of Catholics within
the established trade unions Of
America. The New York A. C. T..
u, for example, has members in %
different unions, about half c. I. O.,
half A. F. of L., and a few independ-
ent.
The A. c. T. U. stands for sound
trade unionism built on Christian
principles. It's purpose is to foster
and spread such unionism in the
American labor movement by bring
ing to Catholic men and women a
knowledge of those principles and
by supplying the power, training,
and machinery to put them into
practice.
This means that more Catholic
workingmen and women must rec
ognize their duty to join a bona fide
trade union. 1t means that more
Catholics must inform themselves
about and take an active part in the
affairs of the union to which they
belong, not to win themselves a soft
spot in a good business, but to guar
antee that truth and justice prevail
in the conduct of that union. In
short, they must see to it that every
union performs its true function as
a necessary means for men to win a
better and more Christian life.
Not to Fight Communists
1t is not the A. c. T. us purpose
to fight Communists. The A. C.. 7. U.
intends to fight Communism and
convert Communists, many Of whom
it cannot help but respect for the
zeal and sincerity that they display
in a heretical cause of fighting in
justice with injustice, returning evil
for evil.
The A. c. T. U. agrees that no
Catholic can remain in a union that
is run along Marxist or un-C Christian
lines, but at the same time it loudly
insists that no real Catholic can re-
sign from that union, and thereby
surrender it to Marxists or rack
%eteers, until he has made every pos
sible effort to cure the corruption
of that union.
To sum up, the A. c. T. U. be-
lieves that the only way for all men
to win a better life is by a universal
recognition and practice of the rights
and duties that all men have by the
very fact Of their humanity.
We shall never gain this recogni-
ton or practice until Catholics be-
gin to wake up and live in the labor
movement, until they educate and
train themselves for leadership, UNI
til they organize and work actively
and intelligently for Christian re
construction of the social order"
With the Holy Father we believe
that the worker has a right to:
l. A steady job.
2. A wage sufficient to support
himself and family in reasonable
comfort.
3. Collective bargaining through
union representatives freely chosen.
4. A share in the profits after just
wage and just return to capital have
been paid.
S. Strike and picket peacefully for
just cause
6. A just price for the goods he
buys.
7. Hours and working conditions
suitable to human dignity and neces-
sary for steady employment for all

1t Is . duty Of Secretary Mcintyre to keep

before he succeeds in having the pleasure Of
ushering out that particular caller and pre-
senting the succeeding one.
OF course, cabinet officers and other admin
istration heads, as well as Senator's and Rep
resentatives, are not held strictly to the time
allotted on the schedule. Mr.. Roosevelt fol-
lows the rule Of giving them all the time within
reason.
Another precedent established by Mr..
Roosevelt when he came to the White House
was not to leave his desk at the executive ofdce
when lunch time rolled around to join the
presidential family at a midday meal. From
the very beginning he has had a light lunch
con served to him from the White House kitchen
at his desk. Always he has some guest and
frequently two or three at these desk luncheons.
He has labeled these luncheon conferences"

from to O'Clock.
This does not mean that Mr.. Roosevelt Is
late sleeper and deliberately kills time before
going to his desk. On the contrary, he Is gen
orally awake by am, but in accordance with
. policy he has followed for q number Of years.
he has a light breakfast served while still In
bed. Then he goes through quantity OF his
mail and overnight kilograms, dictates num-
ber Of letters and receives several OF his init
mate associates for early morning conferences

port to the President In his bed room either
while he 10 eating his breakfast or in the midst

not for these talks, these associates would have

ly the Presidents closest cabinet friend,

man Of the Democratic National Committee can
accomplish great amount Of business with the
Executive in q short period Of time which would
be virtually impossible II he waited until the
President was seated at his desk in the execu-

Breakfast to Mr.. Roosevelt Is unimportant.
It usually consists Of fruit cereal, bacon, toast
and coffee. However, he Is not particular, and
II sausage or ham were substituted for the
bacon he would not complain In fact II any
one Of these meats were either deliberately or
accidentally left out he probably would not mo-
tice 1t.
Mr.. Roosevelt possesses one Of those happy
natures which makes it possible for him to
wake up generally in good humor. He Is
that kind of individual to whom q wife could
present the monthly household bills and bring
up any other annoying family matters before
breakfast without expecting q storm or scene
to follow.

President who was more devout q newspaper

when he has . few moments to spare, to re-

Mr.. Roosevelt's luncheon generally consists
OF fruit, soup, sometimes bowl Of rice and a

or coffee. Since the modern electric kitchen
has been installed in the White House he has
been able to have his luncheon served piping
