]. Local Union Mo- 131 hsd avery in
teresting meeting last Thursday eve
ming with large attendance.
A number of important questions
were discussed and taken care of in
fine order. The future wage scale and
agreement was discussed. We feel we
should get together with Local Union
No. IL and see if we can't come to
some kind of an agreement. We are
ready to talk things over, feeling that
all members of organized labor should
have an agreement with their employ
ers.
We would like to ask all unemploy-
ed mouldrunners and batterouts to re-
port either to Local Union No. 131 or
Headquarters, SO we can locate you in
case there are any vacancies in the
trade. There is no need to put on
learners as long as there are mould
runners and batterouts who are unem-
ployed. So if you want a job be sure
to report.
We have placed number in the past
week and can place several more.
There are a number of batterouts and
mouldrunners who are behind in their
dues and percentages. There has been
several suspended and more are to
follow next meeting night unless they
pay up or report to the local. Don't

Pseudo-Econornists Hit By

The mental vaporings of certain
pseudo-economists, who have become
the ballyhoo spellbinders of low-wage
and long-hour employers in spreading
purporting to show that
the higher wages and shorter hours
made mandatory by the Fair Labor
Standards Act, effective October "a,
will necessarily impose lower living
standards on the workers were knock
ed into smithereens by Elmer F. An
drews, administrator of the Act, in an
address before the recent annual con-
vention of the American Federation Of
Labor at Houston, Texas.
In addition, Mr.. Andrews proved
statistically that those who won and
operate industry have deliberately and
persistently gypped the workers out of
fair share of their own increased
productivity under our twentieth GEN.
tury system of machine production.
Finally, Mr.. Andrews upheld the
justice Of labor's demand for increased
buying power through higher real
wages in order to secure a more equit-
able portion for the workers of the
larger, quantities of goods produced by
the workers.

The five-day week and the six-hour
day without any reduction in daily or
weekly pay was again made the para
mount objective of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor by the annual con-
vention of the Federation at Houston,
Texas.
The necessity for shorter hours was
presented to the convention in the re-
port of the Committee on Shorter
Work Day, whose chairman was-Dele-
gate Edward J. Gainor, president of
the National Association of Letter
Carriers.
Drawing attention to the tremend-
ous army of the unemployed largely
due to the increase of the output of
labor resulting from the continued in
stallation of job-destroying machinery,
the report said:
unemployment still continues our
most pressing problem.
The army of the unemployed de-
clares the Executive Council Of the
American Federation of Labor in its
1888 report, which has never since de-
preston been reduced below 100000
and today numbers over 1900, 900, is
testimony enough to the need for
shorter work hours
According to the National Indus
trial Conference Board, the average
full time work-week in July, 1888, was
40.3 hours as against 48.3 in 1929, or a
gain in leisure of eight hours.
"Thus, the American Federation of
Labor has rendered a notable public
service in bringing about this shorten
ing of the work-week.

President Duffy Gives BUY American"
Address In Fort Wayne Monduv Niahf
Brotherhood OHicial Asked
To Clirndx Drive Of
Hoosiers
BACKED BY LABOR
Huge Rally Being Sponsored
BY Allen County
Labor Club

President James NJ. Duffy of the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters will again carry the "Buy
American" banner to the workers of
this country next Monday night when
he makes the principal address at
huge "Buy American" rally in Fort
Wayne, Indiana
Officials Of the Allen County Labor
Club, which is sponsoring the meeting,
sought President Duffy to climax an
educational campaign the club has car
ried on for many weeks. Knowing the
Brotherhood leader to be the foremost
advocate Of this patriotic and JOHN
suring cause which he first brought to
national attention through the Ameri-
scan Federation of Labor's Denver con-
vention in 1887, officers and members
of the club requested his presence Oc-
tober 81 when they plan Indiana's
largest rally.
The Labor Club has found novel
means of bringing the campaign to
the minds Of the people of north
eastern Indiana. A motorized exhibit
of foreign farm and factory products.
sold on the American market in COM
petition with American goods, has been
touring the area and dramatizing the
campaign.
American workers can see with their
own eyes the extent of the imports Of
goods which drive the American mer-
chandise from the market and con-
tribute enormously to American unem-
ployment.
Carrying signs, "Buy In America"
America For ArSsie1aI.s," Scop I'M
porting Foreign Made Goods and
Down With Free Trade" the former
school bus has displayed more than
1,0OO articles from 35 foreign nations,
representing billions of dollars worth
of foreign goods sold in the United
States last year in competition with
home products. The exhibit has been
changed each week
A resolution proposing "Buy
American" campaign and urging oppo-
sition to free trade and reciprocal
trade treaties has been adopted by the
Allen County Labor Club and signed
by the Executive Committee. The
resolution follows:

Dor Club was organized and exists for

Central Bodies

Washington, D. Civilian Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, announced that the A. F. Of
L. has established nationwide net
work of educational and enforcement
agencies for the purpose of making
effective the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1888, popularity called the
Wage-Hour Law.
Simultaneously with the going into
operation of the new law on October
"a, local Wage-Hour Committees, or
ganized in $40 cities by central bodies
of the American Federation of Labor,
were already functioning, Mr.. Green
announced. Similar committees are
being formed in about 800 additional
communities by local subsidiaries Of
the A. F. of l..
In a circular letter sent to the
Wage Hour Committees and to all or
ganizations affiliated with the A. F.
of L., Mr.. Green asked organized la
Dor to assume responsibility for polic-
ing enforcement of the labor stand
ards established by the new law. Aft
davit forms for reporting violations of
the Act were sent to each organiza-
ton.
Stressing the need for patience and
caution during the initial period of the
operation of the Act, Mr.. Green said:
"The new law should be given fair
chance in having its validity tested in
the courts. To this end labor must
make doubly sure that only in cases in
which the existence, of violation is
established beyond a shadow of a
doubt should unions resort to litiga-
ton" IT,.
Mr.. Green urged all unions to give
special attention to Section 18 Of the
law which specifically provides that
nothing in the Act shall justify an en-
ployer in reducing a wage paid by
him which is higher than the applic-
able minimum wage under the Act or
permit an employer to increase exist
