PATTERN MAKERS
Organize All Jobbing Shops
in Chicago

Chicago (ILNS)-In the neighbor-
hood of ninety shops, comprising the
entire jobbing industry in Chicago,
including shops affiliated with the
Pattern Manufacturers Association,
are now in agreement with the Pat
tern Makers Association, chartered
by the Pattern Makers League of
North America, an A. F. of L. organ
ization.
Complete organization of the job
bing industry in Chicago was accom-
plished after little over two years
of effort. Gunnar Hallstrom, busi-
ness representative of the union, says
this is the first time that the indus
try has been organized 100 per cent.
Agreements entered into by the
union and the jobbers call for wage
rate of S1.30 an hour and 40-hour
week, with double time for overtime.
Prior to the agreements, which were
established through conference, wages
ranged from 55 cents to 81 an hour,
with an average 44hour week,
straight pay, or, in some cases, time
and one-half pay for overtime.
With 600 pattern makers, or 60
per cent of all pattern makers in the
city in the union, the Chicago local
of the Pattern Makers League has
more members than it ever had be-
fore.
Progress of the Chicago local re
fleets the progress that has been
made by the international union,
which has increased its membership
from 1000 to 5000 since its last con-
vention four years ago, the result OF
which has been greater weekly pay
check for a 40-hour week than for 9
50-hour week.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) The
federal trade commission has issued
Part | of the report on the investiga-
tion which congress required it to
make on agricultural implements and
machines. 1t shows that the manufac-
ture of farm machinery is highly con-
centrated, that high percentage of
stocks in the manufacturing compa-
nies are in few hands, that the price
fixing devices of the present day are
almost waterproof, and that farm
co-operatives have quite bit of diff
Guilty in getting their wares.
As to concentration, the report says
that there are 8 principal 'long line
companies, meaning companies that
make most kinds of farm machines.
International Harvester is at the top,
Deere & Co. in second place, and old
j. l. Case the third

plements," the FTC says, 'sfrom to

States. In 1886, four of these COM
panies made ALL the cornbinders

sc per cent of the grain binders, and
6 made 81 per cent Of the all-purpose
wheel-type tractors; 80 per cent of
the mowers; 81 per cent OF the corn
planters and sc per cent Of the sulky

Coerciye Measures Charged
Price fixing is accomplished in two
chief ways, the ETC finds. One is
the Standardization of the plans of
machines; and the other is the "cus-
tom" of letting the big fellows get
out their price lists first. Coming
back to the bullying by the big fel-
lows, the FTC remarks:

Washington, ID. &. (lLNS)-A
plea for labor industry cooperation,
to help restore prosperity and "make
democracy work" was made by Will
liam Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, in speaking dur
ing a program celebrating the 200th
consecutive weekly broadcast of the
Labor News Review" a radio fea-
ture conducted by Albert N. Dennis
over Station WJSV, of the Columbia
Broadcasting System, Washington.
"This occasion offers a welcome OPP
portunity for straightforward
statement of the position of the
American Federation of Labor on
matters which concern all of our cit
izens," Green said.
"The American Federation of Labor
is sound and enduring American
institution, pledged to uphold the
principles of American democracy in
government, in labor and in indus
| try.
'We are not out to destroy the
American form of government.
eve are not out to destroy Ameri-
can business,
No Revolutionary Aim
eve are not out to start political
or economic revolution.
"All our efforts and all our
| power are directed toward help
ing our country make democracy
work, toward helping business
regain prosperity and toward
helping the working people of
| the nation attain a wider meas
| ure of economic and social Sc
curity.
"Some uniformed skeptics may
i ask-How can labor help business :?
The American Federation of Labor
| has answered and is answering that
question every day We believe labor
and business can work together CO.
operatively for their mutual benefit
and the national welfare. Friendly
relations between unions and indus
try are the key to industrial peace.
Industrial peace is essential to ma
tional prosperity.
i Concerted Effort Imperative
Business conditions today are de-
plorable. More than eleven million
persons are unemployed through no
4 fault of their own. Concerted efforts
must be undertaken without delay to
promote recovery. 1t is my convic-
tion that cooperation between labor
and industry can do more than any
i thing else to bring about recovery.
SIN order to secure cooperation
from labor, employers must grant in
dustrial freedom to their workers
They must permit their employees to
organize into unions and they must
be willing to bargain collectively with
such unions. Industrial autocracy can
no more be tolerated in this country
than political autocracy.
'To those who fear that what has
happened in Europe may happen
here, to those who want to continue
to think, speak and act as free Amer

For many this summer will have
only memories of scorching heat
and sweltering night, to others,
delightful trips to favorite vaca-
tion spots, but to two hundred and
fifty Omaha children it will mean
more than that.
Had you chanced to visit
the various children's depart
ments of the Omaha public library
during the summer months you
would have noticed miniature card
boats sailing through a happy va
cation spend trading. The "Sail-

swing.

launched for each member of the
sailing club. Then all he had to

port that club member submit
ted his boat moved forward in the
race. Two hundred and fifty boys
and girls handed in reports, about
one hundred of that number pas

boys began and finished the race.
Does that prove anything for the
child psychologist? The results
report so many of them so well
done that adults might gladly
claim them.
The reports were judged by a
committee of children's librarians
of the public library staff. Today
they announce the news Omaha

but the purser followed them to

reservations belonged to people

that they leave the boat.
Mrs. Baker and Miss Smith were
given the same type of treatment.
All of them retained their tic
kets and the keys to their state
rooms, which had been issued to
them. Mrs. Dickson refused $1O3
