President Green's address allowed
individuals who compose the immense
union-conscious market Of this nation
to hear directly from the lips Of the
head of the American Federation Of
Labor the plans in conjunction with
this new idea of stimulating collective
buying.
The campaign to educate the public
to buy merchandise bearing union la
bells has had Green's enthusiastic
support since the formation Of plans
for the first national exhibition of
union made, union label products. 1t
is his firm belief that this exhibi-
ton will do much toward establishing
and maintaining a balanced purchas-
ing market in America.

RAILROAD
Unions Seek Investigation
OF ICC

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) The
Railway Labor Executives Associa-
tion will demand that the investiga-
tion Of railroads now being conducted
by the senate interstate commerce
committee shall be continued, and ex-
tended to cover the ICC. The resolu-
tion to make this demand passed the
meeting of the association practically
without opposition.
George NJ. Harrison, chairman of
the association, explained the demand
thus:
1--WE are Of the opinion that the
commission has not properly discharg
ed its functions under the law, because
much of the difficulties Of the rail-
roads today are due to their unsound
and indefensible capital structures.
"Since 1920, no railroad could issue
stocks or bonds without the approval
of the ICC This was to protect the
public against the floating of worth
less securities.
"One-third Of the railroads are in
bankruptcy today, which shows that
the public was not protected"
At the same meeting, F. H. Fljoz-
dal, president of the Brotherhood Of
Maintenance Of Way Employees, re-
vealed that his organization furnished
most of the $4,000 railroad workers
who earned less than S73 month
in 1887.

LABOR PUSHES
WACE-HOUR BILL
Hamilton Fish Urges COP.
Members to Back Bill

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) While
the final fate of the wage-hour bill is
still uncertain, several things have
occurred which decidedly increase its
chances.
Both branches of organized labor
are not only for the bill, but have
started vigorous campaigns in it's
favor
The smashing victory of Senator
Claude Pepper in the Florida pri-
mary, where, as straight out sup
porter Of the New Deal program
wage-hour bill included, he got 60
per cent of the total vote, has hear
tened liberals in both houses.
G. o. p. Support Asked
The effort to get house republicans
behind the bill, mentioned several
times before, was given dramatic
force by the speech Of Hamilton Fish,
lock-ribbed republican from New
York. Here is part of it:
Il am saying to my northern re-
publican friends that if they vote
against this bill, they will go down
and our party will go down as an
enemy of labor, That is the reason
we have been defeated for the last
eight years in the nation. In the state
of New York, it is the reason why we
have been defeated for 20 years
End of Party Feared
IF the republicans vote against
this bill, which is backed by every
labor organization, it will destroy the
republican party There will be no
more republican party. There will be
nothing left except the name, backed
by few industrialists and bankers"
go. End ofqssior- -f...xet....... A A A
1t has been an open secret in Wash
ington for days that Fish did his ut
most to get the republicans on the
rule committee to report out the bill.

Stage Is Set For Lengthy
Struggle Over Proposed Cuts
In Pay Of Railroad Workers

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) The
stage is set for long, hard but order
ly struggle over the railroad wages
Arrangements Of 139 railroads, meet
ing in Chicago, voted overwhelmingly
to ask their employees to take a Is per
cent wage cut, beginning July /, esti-
mated to reduce the railroad wage bill
50,000,0 600 year. Every head Of a
railroad union who has said anything
at all has declared that the cut will be
resisted to the limit.
The railroad managements base
their demand on the claim that the
plight of the roads is desperate. )"
They are worse off now, they say,
than they were in 1882, when the rail
road unions accepted a 10 per cent
wage deduction" In October, No
vember and December, 1881, and Jan
uary, 1882, the net operating income
Of the roads was $13,710,000 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, coun-
ty, state and federal; the railroad re-
tirement act, social security act, and
state unemployment taxes

Miners Drive Planned

"The council believed that ample
time had been given these organia-
tions to consider their future and
present situations President Green
said. THE council has proceeded eau
tiously 1t has not acted hastily We
felt that the time had now arrived
when in order to prevent misunder-
standings the charters of these unions
should be revoked"
Three unions were expelled at the
last council meeting, in February
They we're the United Mine Workers
of America, Federation of Flat Glass
Workers, and international Union of
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers.
Previous to expelling the six CIO
unions, the executive council acted
to push organization among coal
miners by granting an international
charter to the Progressive Miners of
America, whose membership is now
largely confined to Illinois.
Radio to Be Used
Joe Ozanic, Mt. Olive, H., will serve
as temporary president Of the new
International Union until convention
IS held soon to draft a constitution
and elect permanent officers. E. G.
Pearcy, formerly Of Lucas, Iowa, was
named secretary treasurer.
Headquarters of the new union will
be in Chicago.
Applications for charters have al
ready been received from Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky, Alabama, Kansas, Okla
homa, Arkansas, Colorado and other
coal producing states.
Announcing plans for the organia-
ton, President Green said radio
campaign would be carried on among
miners to interest them in the new
union.
He said that the A. F. of L. had OBJ
tanned partial control of radio station

Textile Workers Strike
Against Wage Slashes

Providence, R. l. (ILNS) Some
1900 dyers in eight Woonsocket plants
struck May 2 in protest against 1919
per cent wage reduction.
More than $4,000 other textile
workers in Providence, Woonsocket
and vicinity empowered the executive
councils of the Woonsocket Inde-
pendent Textile Workers Union and
Of the Textile Workers organizing
committee Of the CIO to meet with
mill operators in a final effort to halt
spreading wage cuts.
The plants affected by the strike
were the Woonsocket Dyeing &
Bleaching Co, Blackstone Dye
Works, Fairmount Dye Works, Inc,
Enterprise Dye Works, Inc, Rose
mont MILL French Worsted Co, La
fayette Worsted Spinning Co, and

Shorter Day Is Urged
To Save Miners Jobs

Geneva (ILNS) Mechanization of
mines threatens to cost the jobs of
$4,000 coal miners within a few years,
A. d. Lewis, of the United Mine Work
ers Of America, told the World Coal
Conference convoked here by the In
tenational Labor Organization. Lewis
advocated the six-hour day, 30-hour
week to solve the problem
Lewis told the conference adoption
Of the shorter work week would add
about sos, 100000 annually to the coal
operators payroll, an increase Of ap-
proximately 5 per cent in the cost Of
production.

Workers Cite job Losses

In short clause of a long SEN
tence, they mentioned the increased
cost of materials.
To which the railroad workers reply
that they have taken more than their.
share Of the burden Of the terrific
cuts in railroad employment. Exclud-
ing switching and terminal companies,
the average rail employment through
1897 was 1,115,077; and this despite
the slash in working forces in the
latter part of that year The number
employed in February of this year was
939,017; a drop Of 174,06o from the
average of last year. And the loss
is continuing; preliminary figures for
March are 927,308.
Labor Firm Against Cuts
D. B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, estimates that the
wage bills of the carriers have been
cut $40,000,000 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 ef-
fort to further dry up the already
too low purchasing power"
