SEPTEMBER BUY AMERICAN
MONTH" IN EAST LIVERPOOL
Mayors Proclamation Read
To Committee Last
Tuesday Night
EDUCATION STRESSED
Pamphlets. Posters and Road
Signs To Be Used In
Program

The month of September has been
proclaimed ''Buy American Made
Goods Month" for East Liverpool.
This fact became known at last Tues
days meeting Of the "Buy American"
campaign committee when Secretary
Louis Peislock read the official proc
lamation over the signature of Mayor
Lee c. Copenhaver.
Governor Martin L. Davey had pre-
viously declared the week of Septem-
Der $40 as "Buy American Week" for
the state of Ohio at the request of or
ganized labor as reported by Presi-
dent Cartwright and Secretary James
Grafton OF Trades and Labor Council,
who received the official announcement
from the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor. The American Federation Of
Labor's Executive Council had also de-
clared September Buy American
Month"
The Brotherhood's committee can
well consider itself the parent organ
ization of the movement because it
was President James NJ. Duffy who
introduced the japanese Boycott and
Buy American resolutions into the
Federation's Denver convention last
year and it was the Brotherhood's or
ganization that gained nationwide
attention last December with it's huge
rally here featuring President William
Green Of the A. F. of L. and Captain
F. X. Eble, National Director of the
Made In America Club, Inc.
Explaining that last DEFENDERS
rally had brought all possible publicity
to the campaign, Chairman George
Salsberry urged the meessers to exert
every effort for an intensive educa-
tional program. 1t was suggested
pamphlets be printed and distributed
to motorists at the Chester bridge over
the holiday weekend.
Pamphlets are also to be printed
for use in the schools while education
authorities are to be requested to turn
over a fifteen minute period each week
to the "Buy American" cause.

vassing committee will again visit the
city's merchants and give those TAX

merchandise during the month of Sep

Our Presidents Message
In assuming the Presidency of our
national organization it is my fervent
hope to adequately fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of our late leader,
Mr.. Francis P. Garvan.
The BUY AMERICAN movement is
not one that can crystalline public
sentiment overnight. But it has al
ready made great strides.
1t has the enthusiastic endorsement
of a great majority Of American Busi-
ness.

the appalling situation of hundreds Of

chivalrous time, when labor shall be
best honored and we'll rewarded.
Toilers Are HOnOred
Pagan feasts and Christian observ-
ances have come down to US through
the long ages. But it was reserved
for this century, and for the Ameri-
can people, to give birth to Labor
Day. In this they honor the toilers
of the earth, and pay homage to those
who from rude nature have delved
and carved the comfort and grandeur
we behold.
More than all, the thought, the con-
ception, yea the very inspiration OF
this holiday came from men in the
ranks of the working people-men
active in uplifting their fellows, and
leading them to better conditions. 1t
came from little group in New York
City, the Central Labor Union, which
had just been formed, and which in
later years attained widespread in
fluence.
Birth of Labor Day
On May s, 1882 the writer made
the proposition. He urged the pro-
priety of setting aside one day in the
year to be designated as Labor
Day." and to be established as gen.
eral holiday for the laboring classes.
He advised the day should first be
celebrated by a street parade, which
would publicly show the strength and
esprit de corps of the trade and la
Dor organizations. Next the parade

Pdy and Hour Law
Wage Fixing Pldn is
Scored BYJ. P. Frey
Dictdtorial Authority of Ad.
rninistrdtor Is Hit By
Executive

Atlantic City, N. J.-Sharp criticism
of the dictatorial power to determine
minimum wages conferred on the Ad-
ministrator of the Federal Wages
and Hours Act was voiced by John
P. Frey, president of the Metal Trades
Department of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, in report to the Ex-
ecutive Council of the Federation, in
session here.
He told the Executive Council that
some sections of the Act inserted by
the Conference Committee of the Sen
at and House of Representatives and
never discussed in either of those
bodies gave the Administrator "much
the same power as is exercised by a
Russian Commissar."
Administrators Statutory Authority
According to the text of the law the
Administrator appoints an industry
committee for each industry composed
of an equal number of representatives
of the public, the employers, and the
employees. The industry committee
submits to the Administrator it's rec
concentrations regarding minimum
wages. If the Administrator approves
such recommendations, he is required
to issue an order putting them into
effect. If, however, the Administrator
|disapproves such recommendations he
is required to refer the matter back
to such committee, or to another COM
mittee appointed by him, for further
consideration and recommendations.
Commenting on this phraseology Of
the law, Mr.. Frey said:
"As l see it, that is similar to a
Judge telling the jury that its function
is to pass on the facts, but that if
the verdict is not satisfactory to him
he may send the case back or impanel
a new jury"
Mr.. Frey also objected to the pro-
vision of the Wages and Hours Act
which vests in the Administrator su-
preme authority in defining apprentice
ship, determining the length of ap-
prentice training and the ration of ap-
prentices to journeymen. This provis-
ion, he said, gives the Administrator
"much the same power as is exercised
by Russian Commissar."
Menace of "One-Man" Government
In connection with these dictator
ial" provisions of the Wages and
Hours Law Mr.. Frey expressed un-
equivocal opposition to "one-man
rule" in any department of the govern
ment, elected, legislative,s or admins
| trative.

Special Labor Day
Message By Green
A. F. L. President Looks Back
On Past Year With
Qualification

1t is with sincere qualification that
transmit this Labor Day message.
Despite the sharp and serious period
of economic decentralization through
which we are passing and despite the
efforts of a rebel group to build up
a dual labor organization, the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor exercises
greater prestige and influence in both
the political and the economic field
than ever before. Our record makes
US a dependable, constructive organ
ization that maintains discipline with
in its own ranks while it keeps prog
ress for wage-earners abreast of prog
ress for the whole Of Society.
Our objectives are in line with demo-
cratic ideals for we seek equal oppor-
tunity for all men and women. We
realize that we must build ladder
round upon round, making it possible
for ell to mount to the plane of equal
opportunity. AS we build and mount,
we fit ourselves for wider opportuni-
ties. The American Federation of La
Dor believes that American labor can

lean institutions-and that progress
for Labor is inseparable from progress
for all.
We have stood solidly against the
principles and practices of communism.
Such unions as tolerated communists
or their sympathizers have found
unity of action impossible and their
organizations torn asunder. AS to the
wisdom of our decision, even though
opposed by some liberals and radical
opportunists, we have only to point to
the terrible purge that has already
cost two million lives in Russia. No
group within Nation can permanent
ly impose it's will on other groups.
During the past year we have add
ed to our union ranks and have ex-
tended and strengthened the practice
of collective bargaining and as re-
suit have been able to defeat many
proposed wage cuts. We have con-
tributed to understanding of the fact
that wages are both pay for work and
approximately 80 per cent Of consum-

A. F. of L. Maritime
Brdnch Is Formed
New Department Authorized
By Executive Council
While In Session

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE Executive
Council of the American Federation
of Labor, in session here, authorized
the establishment of an A. F. OF l..
Maritime Department embracing
around 100000 seamen, longshoremen,
truckmen, radio telegraphists, and
other classes of sea workers on all
coasts and the Great Lakes.
William Green, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, in an
nouncing the decision Of the Executive
Council said the new department
would wage a militant fight against
\e Maritime Federation of the Pacific,
JC. |. o. affiliate headed by Harry
Bridges, Joseph Curran's c. l. o..
Maritime Union, and all other mari
time organizations affiliated with the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton.
Dissatisfaction in c. l. O. Unions
Predicting that the new A. F. Of L..
group would score an overwhelming
success, Mr.. Green revealed that many
reports had reached him indicating
that large sections of the membership
of various C. l. o. maritime unions
were dissatisfied with their present
leadership. In this connection he
cited recent election in the National
Maritime Union in which an "anti-
Communist" slate elected five of the
NE members of the unions executive
--y5ard.
Single Seamen's Union Planned
Under the plan proposed by the Ex-
ecutive Council geographic boundaries
which have hitherto impeded efforts to
merge sea workers into one effective
group will be eliminated. Instead of
having separate organizations for the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coast and
the Great Lakes the American Fedora
ton of Labor will charter a single
seamen's union, with membership OF
approximately $4,000, Mr.. Green said
1t would include the Sailors Union OF
the Pacific, 5000 to 10000 members

BREAKWATER JOB
TO COMMENCE
NEXT few DAYS
Engineer Rogers Arrives
Labor Requirements
Are to Be Small

Construction is expected to begin
tomorrow or Thursday on the break
water of Juneau's long awaited
small boat harbor, according to M
j. Rogers, Construction Supervisor
of the War Department who arrived
in Juneau on the steamer Alaska.
-Four 2-yard capacity Army trucks
were aboard the Alaska and will be
used on the project with local driv-
ers, while bids will be called for
from Juneau truckers to fill the
truck requirements of the job, prob
ably not exceeding fifteen trucks.
Wofk for Trucks
Thirty Thousand of the 10000
cubic yards of fill to be made on
the two breakwaters, will be done
by trucks, and it is believed barges
will be brought here to supplement
the trucks in filling the remainder
of the required rock.
Labor needs on the job, other
than truckers, will be small, it was
learned, all to be hired through the
Territorial Employment offices in
the Territorial Building under Di-
rector j. r. Flakne.
Three Months Work
Three months will be needed to
complete the breakwater work, it is
expected
The two breakwaters to be con-
structed are known as the north"
and south breakwaters.
The north breakwater will extend
westward from the Juneau water
front at point about 400 yards
north of the Juneau-Douglas bridge
and parallel thereto for a distance
of $40 feet, thence turning south
toward the bridge for a distance of
600 feet.
The south breakwater will be an
extension of the bridge approach
fill for a distance of 430 feet.
Construction Stages
Two stages of construction will
be carried out with the initial fill
being made to an elevation of 20
feet above mean lower low water
with roadbed width of not less
than 16 feet The final lift will be
made after completion of the first
stage to provide a crest width of 8
feet at "a feet above mean lower
low water.
Supervisor Rogers, who also han
died the Cordova harbor project,
will also have charge of the small
boat harbor work here as we'll as
the breakwater construction. The
harbor work is expected to be got
