Board Orders Maytag
Case R%eopened; Says
Closing Was Illegal
Charges Filed by clio Electrical,
Radio Union; Workers Out
Since May 8.

WASHINGTON (UNS)-Natl. La
Dor Board hearings in the Maytag
case in Newton, Iowa, will be re-
opened, according to a board order
issued in Washington. Hearings on
the company's tactics against the
union, a local of the CLIO United
Electrical, Radio and Machine Work
ers, were postponed when Governor
Kraschel of Iowa threatened to use
troops to prevent the board taking
further testimony.
The plant has been closed for
three months by a strike of 1000
UERMW workers, who were locked
out May 9 when they refused to take
a 10 per cent cut. The company re-
fused to arbitrate, and ordered the
men out of the plant.
After a short period the Maytag
Co. announced the reopening of the
plant, at reduced wages. A number
of union men went back to their
jobs, demanding arbitration on the
cut. The company again refused,
and had the workers evicted a second
time.
Picket lines were set up, which
the company managed to have limit
ed by court order to three men. The
company was aided in its anti-labor
fight by Tom Girdler's attorney, Ed
ward A. Ford, of Chicago.
Next company move was the ar
rest of three union leaders on
charges of contempt Of court, and
their sentence to six months in Jail.
These men were James B. Carey,
president of the UERMW, William
Sentner, vice president, and Hollis
Hall, vice president of the Maytag
local.
The judge who sentenced the three
men tried to bride them with an
offer of acquittal if they would
promise to call off the strike. This
was Indignantly refused, and the
union leaders are now out on bail
pending an appeal to the Iowa Su-
preme Court.
The board, in ordering hearings
resumed in Des Moines, stated;
The act under which the board
operates charges it with the duty of
investigating proper complaints of
unfair labor practices and of holding
hearings to place the facts on public
record.
"The board cannot permit its
orderly processes, conducted under
Federal authority, to be arbitrarily
suspended by action which the
board deems both illegal and to con-
stitute the substitution of state mill
tary authority for Federal civil pro-
cesses."

FEDERATION HEAD
TALKS TO FARMERS
At pLENTYW00D

-PLENTYWOOD.-Last Saturday a
fine crowd met in the Farmers
Union hall here to listen to James
D. Graham, president of the Mon
tana State Federation of Labor, dis
cuss the principles of organized labor
and a history of unionism. Mr.. Ora
ham gave a very interesting talk
which was listened to with attention.
After Mr. Graham finished his talk
he called for questions and over a
half hour was taken up with ques-
tons and discussions by those
present.
A Federal Labor Union was or
gained by Mr. Graham and tenn
porary officers were elected. Fifty
applications were signed, fourteen of
them being women.

Complaint OF Farmers

The Farmers Union complains that
certain merchants are breaking down
the price structure on farm staples,
such as potatoes. The Trades and
Labor Council some time ago took
the question of establishing standard
prices for the farmers up with the
Railway Commission in an effort to
see that the farmers at least got the
cost of production for their labor.
Organized labor has long since
learned that if they expect to re-
ceive high compensation in the sale
of their labor, they must expect to
pay reasonable prices for commodi-
ties. This applies to milk, butter
and all other essential staples. Labor
asked the highest wages on WPA
paid in the United States. The farm
ers also are entitled to high wages.

A number of big dramatic produc-
tons are in the Hollywood wind at the
moment. Helen Hayes. for example,
has been comforting on plans to start a
dramatic series in the autumn. Past
radio dramas starring the leading lady
Of the stage have been successful, and
Miss Hays has stated that she won't
sign on the dotted line until she is sat-
isf1ed with the project offered.
A number of film personalities are
being lined up as masters of ceremonies
on Hollywood programs. William Pow
ell will be in charge of Hollywood Hotel
aided by Victor Young's Orchestra
Frances Langford and Jean Sablon,
when 1t resumes in the fall. In the
past this program has given previews
of films, but the sponsors are talking
over the idea Of presenting plays. The
Hollywood Showcase, now pinch-hit-
ting for Hotel, has dramatic spot, but
1t is basically variety program The
Charlie Mccarthy program usually in
cludes a dramatic episode but no
change has been announced in this
successful series. The Candid Lady
program heard on the West Coast may
be piped Eastward this fall. Plans
are being worked out to put Fay Wray
into Hollywood drama adapted from
the Charm School, story written by
Alice Duer Miller. Additions have
been in the planning for some time.

~ ESPITE the oft-heard predic-
ton that Hollywood has hit
the radio skids and is about
to relinquish its prominent
place in the radio spectrum, the film
center is enjoying an unexpected
furry Of auditioning and planning in
anticipation Of a busy autumn season.
Only few weeks ago the amusement
world was buZzing with rumors that
the talent supply was giving up the
West Coast and its weather and re-
turning to the busy bookings of Broad
way.
On the theory that comedy pro-
gram is either awfully good or just
plain awful, broadcasters usually are
willing to dive into the far recesses
Of their pocketbooks for funds to
finance the drolleries OF better known
gag writer's and fun penners, but,
while they haven't spared the horses
to get horse laughs. the resources
often have been pathetically scanty
when the matter of hiring dramatic
and serial writer's was preached as an
afterthought.
Taking their lesson from the sue
cessful results attained by using such
leading comedy writers as Carroll Car
roll for Bing Crosby. Harry Conn and
others for Jack Benny, along with
others OF their prestige. sponsors now
are hiring the best drama writer's

will write the new Hollywood Hotel
series. Many of the high-priced
writer's engaged in film work are at
rather uncomfortable liberty this sum-
mer because Of the budget pruning
that prevails in the screen studios
Consequently the supply of talented
scripters is ample for those willing to
pay the price.
This situation contrasts with the
writing markets in Chicago and New
York, where many of the serials are
typed by writer's who must turn out
a show q day to make their cakes
and coffee. This is especially true
Of Chicago. for that city has become
sort of script mill.
Movie producers, long hostile to
radio, but converted to the airwaves
last winter because of the free plugs
that they could get, have even aban-
doned their last stand-a determine
ton to permit only portions of films to
be broadcast. This presenting of ex-
cerpts from screen productions. they
calculated, was whetting the public
for an eyeful of the full picture. In
stead of this public reaction, however,
they found listeners complaining about
being dragged into the heart of a
dramatic trailer only to be told that
the loose ends could be picked up at
their nearest theater.
The film moguls are willing nova
days to permit the broadcasting OF
condensed versions of films. In fact
they are clamoring for radio attention
