Local Union ll3Will
Not Be Represented
At 1888 Convention
Writer Bemouns Inability of
Local To Take An
Active Part
IMPORTANT MEETING

Local Union 113 voted against
sending a delegate to the national
convention this year at the regular
meeting, Monday, May 2. Lack of
funds was given as the reason.
A few of the members of the local
would seem to be satisfied to go along
in the same old manner without any
desire for progress. This is unfair,
not only to the members, but to the
manufacturers as well. 1t is keeping
Headquarters miles away from c.. cssli.
fornia, when there should be a closer
contact. Some of our members are re-
lying too much on the "other fellow"
while they should be leading the way
for real enthusiastic organization.
A vital question, important to our
members working on both plants here,
gives occasion for some very serious
thinking. An honest effort should be
made to attend all the meetings, and
especially the next one, so we can get
down to business and have a local,
second to none in the Brotherhood.

ALL ABROAD FOR UNION LABEL
EXHIBITION AT CINCINNATI, ..

Cincinnati, Ohio. - Arrangements
are completed for the big American
Federation Of Labor Union Label and
Industrial Exhibition to be held ir
Cincinnati next Weekday Is to 21
inclusive.
Director General |. M. Ornburn, who
is also secretary of the A
F. of l.. Union Label Trades Depart
ment, stated that he was pleased tc
announce that this first national Union
Label Exhibition will be one Of the
outstanding events in the business as
we'll as the labor world.
Increased purchasing power" said
Mr.. Ornburn, "is the only remedy fol-
business depressions. No movement
has done more to increase the Ameri-
can standards and procure higher
wages with which to maintain these
standards than the American Fedora
tion of Labor. The gravest problem
that confronts our country today is
that, in many instances many millions
of workers have reached the point of
bare subsistence. With diminishing
employment, they cannot buy the ac-
cumulated products of our accelerated
industries.
"This Union Label and Industrial
Exhibition is being given for those
employers who believe in maintaining
the fairest wages and best working
conditions. We recommend our ex-
hibitors to the consumer public be-
cause they are the manufacturers who
are sustaining American standards
helping to return their nation to pros
perity. And greatest of all, these
unionized industries are doing more to
preserve democratic institutions than
any other group Of industries.
"The greatest assurance that can
be given to American and unionized
industries is to have a large attend
ance at the A. F. of l.. Union Label
and Industrial Exhibition. The Ameri-
can people generally, as we'll as or
ganized workers, owe a debt of graft
tude to our union minded exhibitors
and should prove it by always demand
ing Union-made merchandise.
"This Exhibition of Union Label
Union and American-madc products
can be translated into a powerful and
sustained buying action. The prep
aration Of timely and appealing mer-
chandise into elaborate exhibits Sc
that consumers may see them is the
first step. But in addition, the mem
bers of Labor Unions and Women's
Auxiliaries will carry a Catalogue Di-
rectory of picturized products and in
formation regarding their merit and
quality into millions of homes through
out America"

President Vile Is
Chosen by LII l56
Many Important Matters are
Settled At Crowded
Meeting
BOOTED BY BOOTS"

East Palestine, Ohio. - President
harry Vile of Local Union No. 1856
was given fine vote of confidence
last Monday night at the K of P. hall
when he was elected delegate to the
annual convention of the Brotherhood
to be held in Atlantic City late in
June.
Other important matters were dis
cussed and settled at the we'll attended
meeting. The shop isn't working on
a very heavy schedule at present, but
we are looking for things to pick up
the last six months of the year just
as quickly as they dropped off the
latter half Of 1897.
1t would seem that "Boots" is get
ting pretty strong these days. The
sliphouse Sampson, as he will be
known from now on in, went fishing
the other day and after batting his
hook nicely, he held it in his left hand
and threw his pole into the water. He
wasn't sure if he just couldn't feel the
difference in weight or if loafng acts
like that on a person.-O. c. 1856.

Quebec Non-Unior
Industry Hedrtenec
By New Wage Pdc1
Minimum Wage Rate Will
Encourage Company
Unions

Montreal GLNS).-The Duplessis
government has approved Edict No.
of the Quebec Fair Wage Board
which fixes minimum wages in indus
trial and commercial establishments
at from II to 25 cents an hour This is
a redraft Of former ordinance which
was withdrawn because of complaints.
1t divides the province into four zones,
with progressively lower minimums,
but the zones consist only Of incor-
porated cities and towns.
The original edict exempted only
farm laborers and domestics in private
households; the new edict exempts re-
ligious institutions, hospitals, cooper
ative banks, and variety of other in
stitutions from the obligation to pay
the fixed minimum wages.
Small Town Industry Aided
To provide for its maintenance, the
wage board will make levy of one
half of one per cent year on wage
rolls, collectable from employers.
Quite a number Of large manufac-
turing, as we'll as mining enterprises
are located in rural districts or unin-
corporated company towns" These
will not come under the minimum
wage edict. And industries in the
small towns are given competitive adj
vantages over those in larger cities.
The Union National government
takes credit for what it calls policy
to encourage industry in rural dis
tricts and small towns.
Anti-Union Aim Indicated
In such places there are usually no
unions and in any case organization
is difficult; they are therefore unlike
ly to come under the law of collective
agreements, or if they do it will be
through the organization of company
unions-a procedure which has al
ready been adopted in some districts.
The general line of the govern
ment's policy, and recent official in
discretions, indicate a design to sabo-
tage collective agreements between
employers and free unions and to give
the Fair Wage Board" arbitrary jur-
isdiction over the wages of all work
ers in Quebec.

Long Struggle Seen
To Resist Slash In
PdY Of Rdilrodders
Owners Of l39 Companies
Will Ask For 1879
Reduction

Washington, D. C. OLNS).-The
stage it set for long, hard but order
ly struggle over railroad wages. Man
agements of 139 railroads, meeting in
Chicago, voted overwhelmingly to ask
their employees to take Is per cent
wage cut, beginning July l, estimated
to reduce the railroad wage bill $780,
100000 a year Every head of rail
road union who has said anything at
all has declared that the cut will be
resisted to the limit.
The railroad arrangements base
their demand on the claim that the
plight of the roads is desperate. y
They are worse off now, they say,
than they were in 1882, when the rail
road unions accepted 10 per cent
wage "deduction.' In October, No
vember and December, 1881 and Jan
uary, 1882, the net operating income
of the roads was $13,710,0O0 higher
than for the last three months of
1887 and January of this year. They
lay this drop partly to decline in traf-
fic, partly to refusal Of the ICC to
give sufficient freight rate increases;
and partly to increased costs, which
was summarized by the conservative
New York Times as follows:
"The necessity of having continu-
ally to oppose State and Federal leg
islation that would increase operating
costs; tax increases, municipal, county,
state and Federal; the Railroad Re-
tirement Act, Social Security Act,
and state unemployment taxes"
Workers Cite Job Losses
In short clause of long sentence,
they mentioned the increased cost of
materials.
To which the railroad workers re-
ply that they have taken more than
their share of the burden of the ter
rife cuts in railroad employment. Ex-
cluding switching and terminal COM
panies, the average rail employment
through 1887 was 1,115,077; and this
despite the slash in working forces in
the latter part of that year. The num-
Der employed in February of this year
was 939,017; a drop of 174,O60 from
the average Of last year. And the loss
is continuing; preliminary figures for
March are 927,3OS.
Labor Firm Against Cuts
D. 3. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, estimates that the
wage bills Of the carriers have been
cut $4O,OO0,O0O a month since last Oc-
tober "There will be no wage reduc-
tions agreed to by railroad employees"
he said.
George NJ. Harrison, chairman of
the Railway Labor Executives Asso-
citation, said, in part:
"Railroad labor does not propose
to permit the railroads to sabotage
the Presidents recovery program.
Railroad labor will resist every cf-
fort to further dry up the already too
low purchasing power"

By hard work and close application
we may in the next few years get
back to where we were ten years ago.

Relationship No Bdr
To Old-Age Benefits

Wage-earners in the employ of d
parent or relative are entitled to the
old-age insurance benefits of the So
cial Security Act and must not be ex-
cluded, Regional Director G. r. Park
er told employers today in public
statement.
"Many persons enormously sup.
pose," he said, "that family ties pre-
vent the existence Of the employer
employe relationship. Such persons
may be confusing the provisions OF
old-age insurance with those Of unem-
ployment insurance.
"In the case of unemployment in
surance many States exclude from un'
employment benefits wage-earners ir
the employ of son, daughter OF
spouse, or wages earned by child un-
der 21 years of age in the employ OF
his father or mother. This is true ir
Kentucky and Michigan but not true
in Ohio.
"The old-age insurance provisions
however, allow no such exception"

Shorter Day Is Urged
To Save Miners Jobs

Geneva OLNS).-Mechanization of
mines threatens to cost the jobs of
$4,000 coal miners within few years
A. D. Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers of America told the World Coal
Conference convoked here by the In
ternational Labor Organization. Lewis
advocated the sixhour day, 30-hour
week to solve the problem.
Lewis told the conference adoption
of the shorter work week would add
about $95,000,O00 annually to the coal
operators pay roll, an increase of APP
proAinlately per cent i'll the cost Of
production.

DISpE:L.LING THE FOG
By CHARLES NICHOLSON
Director of Publicity, Democratic
National Committee.

Ever since President Roosevelt
launched the life raft which rescued
the business of the country from the
depression shipwreck and brought it
again to the land of profits and divi-
dends, the erusted reactionaries of
America have been prophesying dis
aster. During the periods of their
salvation on the New Deal l~ife-raft
they were for the most part silent.
Indeed, reviewing their comments at
the time, there were perceptible even
expressions of gratitude. Once, how
ever, when they were back in the
realms of prosperity, they began the
barrage that continues to the present
day. Just now stocks have receded
from the comparatively recent high
level, they again summon the ghost
Of disaster and are trying to brighten
the people with the notion that a
continuation of the policies that
saved them before means the de-
struction Of everything.
Translated into simple words, the
business buccaneers whose reckless
practices left them adrift and almost
hopeless in 1929 are taking the posi-
ton that, unless the government re-
establishes them on board their pi-
rate craft with a charter to resume
their predatory policies, the whole
country is going to the devil and that
Roosevelt is responsible.
The mere circumstance that unem-
ployment is being wiped out, that
many of our leading industries have
more orders than they can fill, that
the revenue of u whole people
continues to go up, has no meaning
to these critics of the administration.
They are doing their utmost to re-
establish the domination of fear, with
the idea that in this way they may
blackmail the administration into re-
storing to them their old-time privi-
leges of loot and larceny.
The Liberty Leaguers and the
other subsidiaries of the Republican
party have all joined in the chorus.
l note, for example, a most alarm
ing recital by my favorite newspaper
columnist, Mr.. Frank Kent, of the
consequences of the New Deal.
Knowing that everybody appreciates
the terrible plight of China, fighting
for its national life against Japanese
invaders, this commentator gravely
recited for a column that so far from
the New Deal being in any respect
new, it had been tried out in China
long ago. The obvious corollary is
that, because the Emperor Shen
Tsung enacted certain laws looking
toward the limitation Of crops in
order that the farmers should obtain
higher prices for their products, and
a wage and hour law to raise the
pay of the working population, China
now finds itself in a terrible plight.
Carrying out the thought this sug-
gests that because the Roosevelt adj
m%inistration is pursuing some of the
same detectives, the United States
is bound for the same disaster. AS
the Emperor's policies were enacted
nearly a thousand years ago, I sup
pose the idea is to convey that a
thousand years hence the United
States of America will be engaged in
a death struggle against foreign dom
ination. The thought of what may

LEGION
Presents THREE
HIGH CLASS BOUTS

Three high-class wrestling bouts
will take place at the Broadway
Theatre, Friday, Jan. 7, featuring
Paul Murdoch and Buck Dawson in
the main event, two falls out of
three, with a two-hour time limit.
This bout should provide plenty of
action as both Murdoch and Dawson
are fast and scientific, Dawson fea-
turing drop kicks and tackles, while
Murdoch features airplane spins and
body slams. Both have appeared
here several times and have made
many admirers.
Cy "Whiskers'' Burns, the Arkan-
sas hill-billy, a newcomer, will make
his first appearance in Montana,
taking on the rough and rugged
Jerry Meeker, who has proven so
far as being one of the toughest
wrestlers to appear on any of the
heavyweight cards.
In the opener there will be two
new faces-Al Young Sampson takes
on William Strattner. Sampson
comes from Arizona, while Strattner
comes from Missouri. There will be
no rounds. The opener will be one
fall, 30 minutes.
The semi-final will be two falls
out of three, with a 45-minute time
limit and the main event will be two
falls out Of three, with a two-hour
time limit.
