On The Capitals Cuff

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Pres.
Roosevelt's move to settle the rail
road wage cut issue through appoint
ment of a 6-man, capital-labor com
mittee to work out informally a
legislative program for the better
ment of the entire railroad industry
has failed to work. The carriers
representatives baked at abandon
ing the wage cut plan which, they
feel, has gone so far that it must be
pushed the rest of the way.
The result is that the committee
will not even start work on the legis-
lative program until the wage dis
pute is finally cleared from the slate.
Members of the committee are Carl
R. Gray, vice chairman of the Union
Pacific board; M. w. Clement, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania R. R.; E. E.
Norris, president of the Southern R.
r.; George M. Harrison, chairman of
the Railway Labor Executives Assn;
D. B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Firemen and Engine
men; and B. M. Jewell, chairman of
the AFL Railway Department. i,
Union representatives insisted that
there should be no conferences on
legislation unless the wage cut were
definitely shelved. The strategy of
this move was considered excellent
by labor leaders, since in effect the
railway labor executives said: eve
won't help you get any legislative
cake unless you stop talking about
taking away Is per cent of our
bread"
The status of the wage-cutting
drive is now this: Announcement OF
the results of the strike vote by rail
way labor will be made in Chicago
on Sept. 26, and labor executives will
call the nationwide strike for Oct. l.
Before the strike goes into effect,
Pres. Roosevelt will appoint a fact
finding commission under the terms
of the railway labor act, automatical-
ly blocking action by either employ
ers or employees. This committee
will report by Nov. l, after which
another 80 days must elapse before
the carriers may cut wages or the
unions put the strike into effect.

30-Kour Week Is Demanded
By AFL Executive Council
Shorter Hours Are Necessary to
Provide Jobs for Unemployed
Army Numbering Over
1I,000, 600.
By A. F. of L. News Service.

HOUSTON, Tex.5Confronted with
the continued existence of a jobless
army numbering many millions, the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor in its report to
the annual convention of the Fed
Grafton here reaffirmed its demand
for the gradual but constant reduc-
ton of the length of the work week
to the 30-hour point as the only
effective method to provide work
for the worthless.
1.-THE American Federation of La
Dor reiterates its endorsement of the
thirty-hour week as the schedule
toward which we are working as
rapidly as possible" the Council
said.
"The constant increase in produc-
tivity forces US to adjust work hours
downward at an equal rate. The
army of unemployed, which has
never since depression been reduced
below 7,500,0 900 and today numbers
over II, 1000, 900, is testimony enough
to the need for shorter work hours.
Industry is able to make this
adjustment by a steady and progress
sive reduction of the work week
until the 30-hour level is reached.
In 1929, work hours in industry gen.
orally averaged over forty-eight per
week, while today the 40 and a.
hour week is prevalent. Yet, after
accomplishing these striking reduc-
tons in hours together with an in
crease in hourly wages in the short
period of eight years, unit labor
costs in June this year in manufac-
turing were 3 per cent below 1929,
according to the National Industrial
Conference Board Index, and the
nations leading manufacturing COM
panies earned the high profit of l0.7
per cent on their net worth in 1887"

RECOVERY PROGRAM

The life, liberty and happiness of
the American people-the future Of
the country we love-are at stake in
this years elections for Congress.
Democracy or fascism-which will
win? Speedy recovery for the peo-
pie, or prolongation Of the sitdown
strike of big capital? These ques-
tons stare every nj of US in the
face as we approach the 1888 cleo
tons. The people know well enough
what they want. THEY WANT
JOBS AND SECURITY.
But a new economic crisis is
paralyzing u country. The Wall
Street monopolists who are respon-
sible for the crisis jam the wheels
of industry and take the path of
reaction as they swell their profits
by shifting the burden of the crisis
onto the people. Big Business is
moving toward fascism. It aims to
wreck democracy by steering it onto
the rocks of economic disaster and
fascist dictatorship.
But big business can be defeated.
And it will be defeated-for the
spirit of 1776 rises again in the adj
vancing labor and democratic move
ment. The spirit of Lincoln lives
on in the growing unity of the
people.
In 1886, a year of big decisions,
the American people stayed true to
their democratic heritage handed
down from the days of Washington
and Jefferson. They gave an over
whelming mandate to President
Roosevelt and to Congress, saying
we want democracy-we want
progress" And they turned thumbs
down on the Liberty League candi-
dates of the Republican party.
These enemies of the people, the
Sixty Ruling Families, were temper
arily halted in the elections of '36.
But refusing to submit to the eX-
pressed will of the people, they
plotted and Unanswered to cancel
the elections, to put over their poll
cies of rule or ruin.
And they cheated the people Of
the full fruits of their election vic
tory. They sent their hirelings into
Congress on the coat-tails Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They formed a re-
dictionary coalition in Congress of
the Copperhead Democrats and Tory
Republicans.
They crippled the New Deal APP
preparations for relief and farm aid.
They killed the supreme court re-
form bill and for a long time blocked
the wages and hours bill. They fill
clustered against the anti-lynching
bill. They cut taxes on the monop-
olies and the rich, and increased the
tax burden for the people. They
protected the profits of Wall Street
and took bread and milk from the
tables of the people.
Big Business used its Tory agents
in Congress and in the State De-
partment to twist the peoples de-
sire for peace by putting across a
policy of isolations, of false neutral

Senator Vandenberg, still the

ALL CONVENTION
VOTES FOR CHANGES
IN THE WAGNER ACT
By MARC STONE

. IO4Ns 4CA. III lite Dih
convention began its second weeks
session by unanimously adopting the
resolution committees report on the
Natl. Labor Relations Board, calling
for nine revisions in the Wagner act
as outlined by Joseph A. Padway,
chief counsel Of the AFL.
The more important of the sug-
gested amendments would limit the
boards power to i%nvalidate con-
tracts, more sharply define the
rights of units to choose their bar
gaining agents, set up standards and
qualifications for trial examiners,
permit the courts to review ques-
tons Of fact as well as law, and
define the rights of intervening
parties.
The convention was tense as it
got down to serious business after
a week of speechmaking. Mrs. Mary
F. Grossman of Philadelphia, repre-
senting the American Federation of
Teachers, was the only delegate to
argue against adoption of the report
on the NLRB. Citing gains under
the act, she conceded that as a hui
man document it needs amendment,
but she deplored action by the AFL
at a time when enemies of labor
are seeking to annihilate the act.
The AFL's disagreements with the
NLRB, Mrs. Grossman said, r not
due to any %partisanship by the
board, but to the split in the labor
movement. She suggested that eff
forts for amendment might better
be used to heal the split between
the AFL and CIO.
The resolutions committee said
that the board was 'preiudiced and
biased" and that it had awarded
favorable decisions to the CLIO not
on the merits but on the precon-
ceived economic predictions of
board members" It was charged
that the board delays action in the
interest of the Go" and that fairly
won elections have been set aside
and contracts invalidated on the
'flimsy p~retense' that foremen
without the right to hire and fire.
had spoken favorabIy Of the con-
tracing union.
Finding that the board had in
vaded the rights of free trade unions,
and had brought administrative JUS
tice into disrepute, the committee
said that revision of the act was the
only answer. The work of drafting
amendments will, however, be post
poned until just before Congress
convenes.
The convention decided that the
executive council should make furth-
er study of two controversial propo-
sitions; first, that the courts be given
the right to review questions of fact
as we'll as of law; second, that the
administrative and judicial functions
of the NLRB be separated. The
committee report blamed the boards
personnel for administration a
stand that was later echoed by the
convention when it voted for oppo-
sition to Senate confirmation Of
Donald w. Smiths reappointment.
Pres. William Green emphasized
that the AFL was not opposed to the
act, but to its administration.
I'VE shall defend it and support
it against all who would seek to
destroy it and wipe the act out" he
said. 1--WE do not wish the NLRB
to be pro-AFL but we expect and
ask that a government agency adj
ministering a law touching the social
and economic life of millions of
workers should substitute a judicial
attitude for an administrative atti-
tude. We are not opposing our great
President in taking this stand"

ity which only aided the fascist
~war-makers.
The reactionaries stopped every
effort to change the u%n-neutral neu-
trality act or to carry out the policy
of Roosevelt's Chicago speech. They
blocked the enforcement of the KEEL
logg Pact and the Nine-Power
Treaty, and gave a free hand to the
japanese m%ilitarists in China. And
recently, they have been successful
in their plotting with the Chamber
lain government of Great Britain to
help fascist aggression in Europe,
Asia, Africa-and in our own hemis-
phere, in Brazil, Canada and Mexico.
Instead of quarantining the agrees
scr, they have launched a program
of huge ornaments.
Only in the closing days of Con
gress we're the people able to win
some of their demands. With united
labor support and with the progress
sives taking the offensive, the i'm
portant wages-hours bill and the
Presidents relief-recovery program
were passed. These were important
victories for the people. They
showed that the str~anglehold of the
Tories can be broken-if the people
organize, unite, and act.
But the enemies of the people did
not stop at their i~ntrigues in Con-
gress. Monopoly capital went on a
sitdown strike, %hurrying and
worsening the crisis. The monopo-
lies have seized on economic sabo-
tage as a political club to bludgeon
Roosevelt and Congress. Cold
bloodedly, they lay off millions Of
workers and cut wages. They evict
farmers, tenants, and small home
owners. They let young people
drift without jobs or opportunity.
They drive down the standards of
living of the women. They doubly
exploit the Negro people. They
keep monopoly prices high while
squeezing down farm prices. They
push the small business men to the
wall.
Big Business turns its guns upon
the organized labor movement,
which is really the peoples best de-
tense against starvation and reaction.
1t tries to destroy the Wagner Labor
Act and the National Labor Rela-
tons Board in order to substitute
company unions for free unions, and
boss violence for the peaceful pro-
cesses Of collective bargaining.
Today reaction crucifies democra-
cy in the South, in New Jersey
where Mayor Hague sits on his
throne, and in the company union
towns. While they talk Of claw and
order" today traitors are out to
overthrow the Roosevelt admins
tration and u democratic institu-
tons.
Defeated in 1886, the fascist-mind-
ed monopolies are trying to stage a
comeback this year and sweep the
polls. In the past two years they
have grown holder and more tricky.
They are desperate at the thought
of another defeat and so they are
determined to win by any means.
The worst reactionaries among the
Republicans are trying to canon
flage their march toward fascism
by carrying banners stolen from the
people. They pose as friends Of
labor. They try to choose candi-
dates who can be disguised as lib
erals in order to gather votes for
reaction.

In commenting on this educational

safeguarding Of both the consumer s

fall into several ciassifications of

thought of informing the public re-

this program has been lnaugurated.

the Liberty League, which took
charge of the Republican campaign
of 1886, should have poured out all
the money and all the eloquence that
was expended in trying to make the
country believe that President Roose-
velt's program meant only the des-
truction Of American enterprise and
the substitution of reign OF com

BY Their Votes We Shall Know Them
Isn't it surprising that on the
Farm BILL for example, all but five
of the Republican members of .ne
Senate voted against it, and that in
the House of Representatives all the
Republicans except a handful from
the granger states likewise voted
"No's
So with the Wages and Hours
bill. A large majority among the Re
publican members of the House op-
posed the measure.
On the Relief bill, the COP. Sen
ators voted about to 1 against the
measure.
We might go back further in the
record and we would find that the
Republican members of the national
legislature furnished the backbone for
all the opposition to the New Deal
measures.
Not all the members of his party
appear to approve of either Mr.. Ham
