LIFE INSURANCE CO.
ACCUSED OF UNFAIR
LABOR PRACTICES

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS).-The State
Labor Relations Board has issued a
complaint, making new charges of un-
fair labor practices against the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company, larg-
est life insurance company in the
world. The Metropolitan, the COM
plant says:
"Fostered, encouraged and domi-
mated company union known as the
Employees Fidelity Organization by
donating free office and meeting space,
equipment and services to the organ
ization, by coercing and persuading
company employees to join the organ
ization, and by discriminating in favor
of it's employees who are members of
the Employees Fidelity Organization
and against employees who refuse to
join that body
The complaint goes on to say that
% Metropolitan agents were dis
charged and denied reinstatement be-
cause they would not withdraw from
membership III the United Office and
Professional Workers, G.. |. O. union
The State Labor Relations Board
had previously ordered the Metropoli-
tan to recognize the United Office and
Professional Workers as the sole col
lective bargaining agency for its in
dustrial agents, and the Appellate di-
vision of the New York courts has
upheld that order. Industrial insur-
ance is weekly payment insurance.
A committee of Metropolitan policy
holders has repeated its demand that
the Temporary National Economic
Committee now functioning at Wash
ington include the company's labor
practices in it's investigation of mo-
nopolies and the workings of the eco
nomic system.

ECHO ANSWERS, WHY?

A release from the u. S. Steel Cor
poration describes the new steel mill,
formally opened December Is by the
Carnegie Illinois Steel Corporation,
the largest subsidiary of U. S. Steel.
There are 5212 acres under one roof !;
there will be no smoke, for except two
boilers in the powerhouse, the whole
plant is run by gas and electricity.
The worlds largest slabbing mill' is
a part of this plant, and of this, the
release says, in part:
"The unit, built as an addition to
Edgar Thomson Works at Braddock,
Pa, is a 44-inch mill capable of roll
ing 100000 tons of slabs annually.
These huge slabs, weighing up to
$4,000 pounds, will be transported 6A
miles to the new steel finishing plant
Irwin Works, known as "the Mill on
the HILL" There they will be con-
verted into tinplate, sheet steel and
strip for tomorrow's cans, containers,
automobiles. refrigerators, freight cars
and countless other products"
Every normal person likes to read of
such mechanical advances. They are
marvellous and splendid. But every
normal person, too, must wonder why
mechanical progress is so slowly
when at all-translated into the kind
of progress that will give better and
most secure living conditions to the
one-third Of our population now i'll
fed, ill-clad, ill-housed Why, when
production is going ahead with such
giant strides, is distribution tagging SO
far behind that we have 100000
persons out of work, many of them by
just such mechanical progress?

Six Lynchings In Six Months
From Richmond, Va, Times Dispatch

From Richmond, Va, Dispatch
Is lynching in the South dying out,
as we are so often assured by apollo
gists for this practice? Maybe so, but
there have been six such murders IN
the region in the past six months. II
lynching among us is morlbund, we
should like to have additional evidence
of the fact.
Another point we should like to
stress is that four of the six lynchings
which have occurred since June, took
place in Mississippi, home of the blow
torch technique of fragrant memory.
Perhaps we should give thanks for
the latest exhibition of savagery there,
for the sheriff of the county where
the crime occurred assures the public
that the victim was merely hanged,
and ''the mob did not shoot into the
negro's body or burn him."
Now that four men have been
lynched in Mississippi since June, we
should be only too happy to hear from
Senator Bilbo, who had such an impos-
ing part in the flibuster against the
federal anti-lynching bill earlier this
year. We should also like to hear from
some of the other officials of that
state, who let it be known that the
Mississippi Legislature would pass eff
fective legislation last winter to stop
these barbarities, and that conse-
quently no federal act was needed.

BANS WAIVERS
FOR OVERTIME
Andrews Declares Scheme Planned BY
Employers Is Plain Violation OF
Fair Labor Standards Act.

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS) A
bluntly -worded warning to employers
was issued by Elmer F. Andrews, Ad-
ministrator of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act, against disregarding re-
quirements of the law even though
prior consent has been obtained from
the workers. The heavy penalties of
the act will be applied against all such
instances uncovered, he asserted
1T has come to my attention." Mr..
Andrews said, ''that certain employers
have been contemplating having a
waiver of overtime payment stamped
or printed on pay checks on the as
sumption that acceptance by the en-
ployes of pay checks so stamped will
thereby result in an effective waiver of
rights given by the statute.
employers who may be proceeding
on this assumption are badly advised
and will find themselves in clear viola
tion of the law.
81 can hardly believe that any en-
ployer would be so foolish as to have
employees sign that they had worked a
certain number of hours during week
when in fact they had worked longer
| hours. 1t is clear that any such prac-
tice, as well as any other Justification
of records, constitutes a violation of
Section Is (a) 90 and subjects the
employer to the penalties Of the act"
The provision of Section Is, of the
Wage and Hour Act, referred to by Mr..
Andrews, makes it unlawful for any
person to violate any of the provisions
of the act requiring employers to pre-
/ serve the records of persons employed
by him and of the wages, hours ano
other conditions and practices of en-
ployment maintained by him. 1t also
declares that it shall be unlawful fol
an employer to make any statement or
this subject which he knows to be false

France, through her administration

WIN. GREEN PREDICTS
TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE
OVER DICTATORSHIPS s
Puts Organized Labor Squarely In
Front Ranks OF Those Who Are
Protesting Prosecutions.

New York City (ILNS) Presiding
at the dinner given to launch the Leon
Blum colony of 1000 Jewish refugees
in Palestine, William Green, president
of the A. F. of L., put organized labor
squarely in the front ranks of those
who are protesting in every possible
way against prosecutions in Germany,
whether of Jews, Catholics or Protes-
tants. He said, in part:
Eve vigorously protest against the
persecution Of Jewish people in Ger
many. We protest against the inter-
ference with the exercise of the rights
of Catholics, Jews and Protestants to
worship in accordance with the die
tates Of conscience. We protest against
the destruction of free, democratic
trade-unions. We protest against the
rule of autocrats and dictators every
where. We appeal for the establish
ment of freedom, democracy, good will
and peace throughout the world.
Labor Backed Palestine Program
ut seems quite appropriate to dwell
for just moment upon the avail
ability of Palestine as Homeland for
prosecuted Jewish people. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor espoused
this program at an early date. In No
vember, 1917, it officially declared: In
asmuch as among all these small ma
tionalities the Jews alone have no
homeland of their own, we urge upon
the President and the international
Congress which will negotiate terms
of peace, the legitimate claims Of the
Jewish people for the establishment OF
a national homeland in Palestine on q
! basis of self government
The American Federation of Labor
has consistently co-operated with ane
supported the fine trade-union move.
ment established in Palestine.
Righteousness to Prevail
Democracy is the safeguard againsi
oppression and racial discrimination
This is made clear at the present mo
nent. For instance, no one believe:
that the German people are in sym
pathy with the policy of the dictator
who originates and formulates his gov
ernmental policies. When Germany
and Austria were democracies minori
! ties were protected. 1t was only whei
a change of government came and !;
dictator came into power that perse
cution and oppression of minoritie
and religious and trade-union organ
izations took place.
1--WE cannot believe that the polio,
now being pursued by nations sub
jected to autocratic control can con
tinue indefinitely. Surely, righteous
ness and justice will ultimately pre-
vail"

DOING UNIoNIsM NO SERVICE

National Labor Relations Board has
ordered Douglas Aircraft Company to
reinstate 80 sit-down strikers, II of
whom were convicted in California
courts of conspiracy to commit fore
ible detainer."
The ruling is part and parcel of the
boards policy of supporting sit-down
strikes, evidenced before notably in
it's backing of sit-downers employed by
the Fansteel Metallurgical Corpora
tion of North Chicago.
There is strong public resentment
against the sit-down strike, which has
been emphatically condemned by the
American Federation of Labor The
labor board bases its support of the
sit-down on the ground that the en-
ployers in the cases just mentioned
employed unlawful tactics against the
workers before the strike.
The board apparently forgets that
two wrongs do not make right. 1t is
doing no service to unionism in back.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Italy, by indirect means, has served
notice that France must hand over to
Mussolini the colony of Tunisia, where
the French population is said to be
island of Corsica, and the part of
southern France long known as Savoy.
It is true that this demand is not yet
official; but Mussolini is reported to
have officially asked how far Hitler
will back II Duce in dealing with
France.
Four Nazi spies in this country have
been convicted in a federal court, and
more are going on trial. And the
latest dispatches from Lima, Peru,
where the Pan-American conference
is being held, say that Nazi and Fas-
cist agents are trying busily to stir
up strife by melting the Latin Amer
ican delegations against the United
States.
