By A. f. of l.. Weekly News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The enact
ment by the Senate and the House
of Representatives of the Federal
Wage and Hour Bill drafted by the
Congressional Conference Commit
tee of fourteen members as a substi-
tute for both the Senate and House
bills on this subject marks the first
endeavor of the United States gov
eminent to establish a universal,
nationwide minimum rate Of pay
and a universal, nationwide maxi
mum work week for employees in
industries engaged in interstate
commerce.
The act prescribes that all en-
ployees within its scope shall be
paid a wage of not less than rs cents
an hour for the first year of the acts
operation and not less than 30 cents
an hour for the next six years, when
the minimum rate shall be 40 cents
an hour, with the provision that the
minimum may be raised to 40 cents
by the action Of industrial boards in
various industries before the ex-
piration of the six-year period.
With regard to the work week the
act fixes a maximum of A hours for
the first year, AZ for the second year,
and 40 hours thereafter.
The act creates a Wage and Hour
Board in the U. S. Department of
Labor, with an Administrator as pre-
siding officer. The administrator,
appointed by the President, is e
quired to appoint as soon as prac-
ticable industry committees "for
each industry engaged in commerce
or in the production of goods for
commerce" These committees, CON
sisting Of an equal number of repre-
~sentatives of the public, the en-
ployees and the employers in the
respective industries, are required to
make a survey of industrial condi-
tions and file recommendations with
the administrator as to the highest
wages, not to exceed the 40 cent rate
fixed as the ultimate goal, which the
industry can pay. The administrator
is empowered to take the necessary
procedure for the application of the
recommended rate. The orders of
the administrator are subject to re-
view in the U. S. Circuit Court of
Appeals for the appropriate district.

81. George Speaks al
BIatkSmiIhS' Union

Albert st. George of Butte Town
send Club No, l spoke on economic
conditions at a largely attended
meeting of the Blacksmiths Union
last Friday evening and explained
the Townsend National Recovery
Plan.
Looking back one has only to
pause a moment to see the many
idealistic dreams on which human
kind has builded and failed. Today
we are faced with the many eco
nomic problems affecting ourselves
and %posterity. The great solution to
these problems has been advanced
by of the wisest humanitarians
Of all times, DR.. Frances E. Town
send. His philosophy has revolu-
tionized this nation and its people
to the realization of the necessity
of old age security, to supplant the
poor houses of our country, by a
decent standard of living in our de-
Ginning years. 1t will in other ways
supply an economy of plenty instead
of an economy of scarcity and want,
to be maintained by a transaction
tax, not by a direct property or sales
tax now in use to maintain city,
state and national governments. A
transaction tax that no man or wom-
an can evade his just portion to So
ciety be he or she, rich or poor.
When the people of this great ma
ton r educated to the practicable
ity of adequate old age pensions, the
Townsend Plan as incorporated in
the General Welfare Act of 1887 will
become a law.
The state legislature of Montana
and others have already passed
memorials asking Congress and the
President of the United States to
pass the Townsend Old Age Pension.

MAGMA, Utah.-The National La
Dor Relations Board June 10 ordered
Kennecott Copper Corporation, New

subsidiary, Utah Copper Company,
Salt Lake City, Utah, to disestablish
Employees General Committee, De-
partment of Mills, as representative
of any employees at the companies
Arthur and Magma mills, located
near the town Of Magma, in Salt Lake
County, Utah.
Also, the companies were required
to end efforts to interfere with or
ganizing activities of international
Union Of Mine, Mill and Shelter
Workers, Local No. 1872, affiliated
with the Committee for Industrial
Organization.
The companies must post notices
at their mills that they will no long
er interfere with the exercise by
employees of their right to join labor
organizations of their own choosing,
and that the employees committee
is disestablished.
Eat the hearing" the board stated
in its decision, several of the COM
mittee members experienced diff
Guilty in answering the question
whether they considered the com
mittee to be a labor organization.
Their confusion is understandable.
The organization here was accom-
plished not by labor but by the
management itself, which conceived,
controls, and fosters it,"
Following an organizing campaign
initiated by the union among en-
ployees at the Arthur and Magma
mills in May 1897, the companies i'm
pressed their hostility to the union
upon their employees by acts and
statements, and by discrimination
against union members, the board
found.
Two employees who were suspect
ed of placing union literature upon
plant bulletin boards were trans
ferred to inferior jobs, where there
wouldn't be any bulletin boards to
bother them"
An employment director at the
mills assisted employees in the
preparation Of a petition for with
drawal from the union. This activ-
ity, the board found, "had the effect
Of restraining the respondents en-
ployees from joining the union and
impelling them to withdraw if they
had already joined
Supervisory officials at one time
or another made the following state
ments to employees;
That the men Should not get into
the Go"
That the CLIO was causing a lot
of trouble back east"
That IF you want to get ahead
with the company, you will be better
off if you are not affiliated with the
CLIO"
That if Utah Copper was ever
unionized its president would close
the place down, and would never
stand for it a minute"
That the speaker didn't see why
the men wanted a union around
there"
