Quick Action Imperative to
Check Recession--Labor Head

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)--Speak-
ing for the American Federation of
Labor before the senate unemploy-
ment committee, William Green made
a decided impression by his marshal
ling of facts and needs.
"The economic situation the coun-
try is facing today" he said, "calls
for prompt, immediate and
effective. Since March, 1888, when
the cumulative forces of the last de-
preston delivered their final and
most crushing blow to our productive
system, the country has not turned
to congress with greater expectation
of true craftsmanship and ability to
act promptly than it does today
Mr.. Green spoke of the increasing
speculation, not only on the stock
market but in price making, in the
first half of 1887. He showed that
the increase of unemployment from
September to December of last year,
estimated at /, 10000, was greater
than that of any other year save 1929
and 1881.
Shorter Hours Urged
Labor maintains that the short
ening of hours of work in industry
is an essential prerequisite to the re-
duction of unemployment. Legisla-
tive action to make effective this
shortening of hours should be Item
No. / on the agenda of this con-
gress."
Summarizing, Mr.. Green said:
"The critical situation we are now
facing presents real challenge to
our congress, to our federal govern
ment and to our entire nation. The
time has come when the country must
resort without hesitation to legisla-
tive means of checking the recession
and re-establish the recovery on a
sounder and firmer basis. In under
taking any such measures, congress
must not lose sight of the great need
the need to look beyond the exigen-
cies of today's emergencies SO that

we can build for long range economic
and industrial stability in the future.
Labor's Remedies Summarized
Il want to summarize in conclu-
sion the remedies | have proposed
the remedies which must be applied
without delay in order to be fully eff
fective. They are:
"CD Shortening of the hours of
work through maximum hour regula-
tion in industrial employment.
"(2) Maintenance Of existing wage
standards.
"(3) Continuation of the public
works program on an extended scale
and establishment of administration
of public works on permanent basis
for the purpose of long range plan
ming to meet future emergencies.
"(4) Extension of the public low
rent housing and slum clearance pro-
gram by additional appropriation of
funds and through the suspension of
the present requirements for local
contributions.
For Broader Security Program
"(5) Further stimulation of home
construction by private enterprise
through remission of local taxes for
a limited period of time.
80 Revision and broadening of
the social security program: to pro-
vide for a nationwide system of IN
employment compensation; to extend
coverage in the payment of unem-
ployment benefits and old age bene-
fits; to provide for payment of larger
old age benefits; to put in effect a
system of extended benefits for a
limited period beyond the present

PROFITS OF DU PONT
Rose in 1887, But Employ
ment Showed Loss

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-The
senate unemployment committee con-
tinues its quiz of big business men,
but gets extremely few suggestions
for lessening unemployment. The
most interesting witness for the week
was Lammot du Pont, president of
<. |. du Pont de Nemours Co.; though
it is doubtful if he realized the kind
of interest that would be taken in
some of his remarks.
"At the peak Of our employment
last summer" he said, 1--WE had on
our salary and payrolls 42 per cent
more people than in 1929. Our an
nual payroll at the year end was 40
per cent higher, average monthly
wages were 13 per cent higher, aver
age hourly pay rates were 26 per
cent higher than in 1929.
Asks Tax Revision
Which sounds good, although there
the payroll did not rise as fast as the
number of people employed. But he
also said that, comparing 1887 with
1886, there was 7 per cent decline
in employment at the end of the year,
in spite Of the fact that the company
earned, net, 81 share in 1887 against
Sc a share in 1886.
Like all the rest of big business
advocates, Lammot due Pont said that
the tax on the undistributed income
of corporations discouraged invest
ment," though the banks are full of
idle money, and what makes the small
investor put up his money is the pros
pect of income that is distributed.
Questioned specifically by Senator
Murray, of Wyoming, Mr.. du Pont
admitted that there had been tre-
mendous improvement in business
conditions under President Roose-
velt's administration, and Immediately
added that the New Deal policies
would be detrimental to business, Tin
the long run"
To Expand Plants
He declared, however, that his
company expects to spend $35, 900, ,000
for expansion this year.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-01-21

Dr.. Claudius T. Murchison, presi-
dent of the Cotton Textile Institute,
said that something should be done
to the laws to permit industry to
cooperate for productive purposes
without fear of running afoul Of the
antitrust laws" He also demanded
that if wage and hour law were
enacted, it should be enforced through
the courts, not by any administrator
or board

tions provided that all CIO unions
were to return to the A. F. Of L. after
existing technical and jurisdictional
differences had been adjusted by joint
subcommittee of the respective or
ganizations
Il say emphatically it is not true" =
Mr.. Dubinsky said referring to the
claim of the CIO that the A. F. of L.
had sought to prevail upon its orig
inal organizations to desert the CIO
affiliates. "The basis of agreement
reached was that none of the CIO
unions come back until all matters in
dispute had been adjusted through
subcommittee, and that the Go
unions return as a unified group
Position of Lewis Challenged
Mr.. Dubinsky also took sharp issue
with the position of the Go as ex-
pressed by Mr.. Lewis that the A. F.
of L. admit all CIO unions without
any conditions or preliminary under
standing.
"Such peace would be a patch
work peace and would mean contin-
uing the fight in the A. F. of L.,
Mr. Dubinsky declared. "This is not
the way to unity"
At the same time, however, Mr..
Dubinsky announced that although
we have not been consulted and have
had no say as to its administration
and policies" the international Lad
les Garment Workers Union would
not withdraw from the CIO but would
continue to press for peace.
eve do not believe that our with
drawal from the CIO would benefit the
cause of unity and peace" he said
Eve do not believe that Withdrawal
of any one union either from the A. T.
of L. or CIO would promote the cause
of peace But it is our definite con-
viction that peace will ultimately have
to be established in the labor move
ment. We want to make our contri-
button to such a solution, confident
that history viii appreciate and justify
our contribution"
With the statement that the A. f..
of L., through its negotiating com
mitee of three, had met substantially
the vital demands of the CI0., Mr..
Dubinsky warned that "the grave cri-
sis of the labor movement, accentu-
ated by the business recession and
the growth of unemployment, re-
quired that the factional war in or
ganized labor be speedily ended.
Urges CIO to Stop Raids
He warned also that "the CIO has
passed its honeymoon period" and
that further advance by organized la
Dor under the Wagner act was posi-
BILE only through peace in the labor
movement. AS a first move toward
resumption of peace negotiations Mr..
Dubinsky pleaded that the CIO "stop
raiding and dividing existing unions
of the A. F. Of L. and confne itself
to organizing of the unorganized."

darts at the communists and their

BIG NATIONAL
Demand for Birthday Greet
ing Blanks

Washington, d. C.-In support of
the campaign against infantile paral-
ysis, the state of Georgia has made
President Roosevelt's birthday state
holiday. A resolution passed by both
houses of the Georgia legislature
reads in part as follows:
1T is the desire of these bodies
to assist the president of the United
States in his humanitarian program,
and particularly in the fight against
infantile paralysis"
Governor Rivers, of Geogia, has is
sued proclamation putting the
resolution into effect.
This is the most spectacular hap
pening Of the present campaign; but
the response in itself has become spec
tacular
Greeting Blanks Popular
Fifty thousand birthday greeting
blanks have been sent to all parts Of
the country. These are blanks with
spaces for 100 names on each, and
each signer gives 25 cents. A full
blank, therefore, means $25 for the
cause.
The unions are calling for these in
surprising numbers; and what is yet
more surprising is the speed with
which they are coming back, signed.
sealed and delivered with the cash.
Very few blanks from any but the
nearby states were expected back by
this time. Actually, blanks have come
back from Texas, Oregon, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Louisiana.
Labor Chairmen Active
It is clear that no particular time
had to be spent in securing signatures.
The Post Office Clerks, being the first
unions workers to receive the cards,
are usually the first to turn them in.
But the first one to get back from
Texas came from the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.
Local labor chairmen are getting
a splendid response. They are getting
up dances and other celebrations, by
themselves or in cooperation with
other groups. In one town, the Central
Labor Union has secured the co-opera-
tion of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce in putting on a dance. That is
certainly triumph of diplomacy in a
good cause.

STAYS WITH LEWIS GROUP
But Warns Leader '3No One
Man Has a Mortgage on the
Labor Movement"

David Dubinsky, president of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, third largest CIO affil-
late, with membership of more than
250,000, assailed last night policies of
the CIO and demanded resumption of
peace negotiations with the American
Federation of Labor
Mr.. Dubinsky held the CIO respon-
sible for the failure of peace negotia-
tions last month, and disagreed sharp
~ with the position taken by John
L. Lewis, chairman Of the CIO, and
other CIO spokesmen, in refusing to
accept what Mr.. Dubinsky character
lied as the acceptable basis for peace
agreed upon when the negotiations
We're suddenly terminated.
"No one man has mortgage on
the labor movement" Mr.. Dubinsky
said. "The labor movement is not
the property of any individual or
group.
He also assailed the role played by
the communists in the CIO and charg-
ed that while doing lip service to the
idea of peace in the labor movement
they were cheering the failure to
make it a reality.
Mr.. Dubinsky spoke at a special
meeting of 1000 members of execu-
tive heads of his local unions at the
Manhattan Opera House, Thirty
fourth street and Eighth avenue, call
ed to hear his report on the status of
the conflict between the A. F. of L.
and CIO.
After an analysis of the situation
he characterized as unfounded state
ments by the CIO as to the reasons
for the breakdown of the peace nego-
tiations, and declared that the Go
bore the responsibility for the break
down.
Vital Concessions Cited
The American Federation of Labor
Mr.. Dubinsky declared, had made vi
tai concessions on the issue of indus.
trial unionism and the curbing Of the
power of the executive council to sus-
pend affiliated organizations, the two
crucial issues in question.
He also denied assertions, made by
Mr.. Lewis and others, that the A. F.
Of L. wanted the ten original CIO
affiliates as condition Of peace. On
the contrary, Mr.. Dubinsky declared,

Sage and Soil
By Mrs. Paul Scholler

We had a grand time picnick-
ing at the headgate Sunday. In
dian neighborS were also pic
nicking there. The father had
been bedfast for several months,
and it was a gala occasion for
the family to take him on the
outing.
He showed us a hunting knife
that had been in the family for
four generations. It was a wick
ed-looking piece Of cutlery.
The mother was kind enough
to identify several kinds of ber-
ries for the youngsters. On the
way down we picked lucious
choke cherries, and today We
are enjoying the aroma of the
jelly.
1t is always a little discour-
aging to have your flowers in
the prime, only to discover that
you must worry about the cold
nights-and they have been
plenty cold the las week!
Naturally my thoughts have
turned to possible ways of pre-
serving the plants. 1 dreamed
of a small winter garden of
some sort. Then I got this in
formation: A glass covered
lean-to heated from the hot
water boiler in the furnace
sounded grand. Cost: $4,000
plus husbands help-It was nice
thinking while it lasted.
Glaring posters telling of a
carnival at the Grow fair bring
no thrill to me. I have enjoyed
the fair in the past. and it
seems to me that there is no
place for the artificial flashi-
ness of a carnival among the
teepeeS, campfires, ceremonies
and rOmping youngsters. Those
are the Grow fair.
I have just finished reading
an article about the fair held
near the Navajo reservation.
From what 1 read, it seems to
me that tempo is slower than
that of the Crows.
They r richer in Jewels. ST.
yer and weaving. and stand
more on ceremonv than do the
Crows, but their favorite mode
of travel is the ancient burr O..
Contrast that with the fine
blooded horses and cattle on
the reservation here. The pro-
ductive soil from which the
Crows are reaping the profits
of diversified farming are max
ing them one of the leading In
dian nations.
I hate to be a copy cat. but
I have some Kentucky hurley
tobacco which is ready to be
topped, and later will be hung
up to cure.

The Low Down
On Hickory Grove

I been reading about a gov
ernor out there in Iowa who
seems to have the idea that
maybe the people there, seeing
that they elected him, they
really meant for him to be gov
ernor. So he is going ahead
and doing so, and is running
the outfit.
And he is something like this
here Martin in Oregon, and Mr..
Davey in Ohio.
And half the uproar, and
commotion, and stagnant bus
mess, and quandry that seems
to have settled down on our
land, it is because there is too
many sheriffs, and governors,
and mayors, etc., who are afraid
of losing one vote, and are try
ing to be on 2 sides or one fence
both at the same time.
If we are ever going to need
a cooling-system for some of
our rusty and moth-infested
cash registers in this here ma
ton, we gotta get some more
double listers like they have
there in Ohio, and Oregon, and
etc.
Timber scaredy-cats, they do
not get to first base. And pus-
sy-footers, nobody likes EN-
and never will.
Yours, with the low down,
