SEASONAL JOB INSURANCE
PLANNED FOR FILIPINOS

Secretary of Labor Ramon Torres
of the Government of the Common
wealth of the Philippines has made
public a plan for the mitigation of
seasonal unemployment among Fill
pino sugar workers.
Pointing out that the workers en-
ployed in the rich sugar areas consist
of two groups-those who have per-
manent employment and the 10000
seasonal workers who have steady
jobs only during the five months mill
ing season, Mr.. Torres proposes that
sugar central owners withhold 20 per
cent from the daily wage of each sugar
workman and put with an equal
amount, the sum to be used to COM
pensate the workers during lay-otrs.
Mr.. Torres explained that "where
the minimum wage is one peso $50
cents) per day, the laborer would de-
post 20 centavos Ga centavo is half
a cent? and the central likewise would
deposit 20 centavos. Actually the la
borer would be receiving 80 centavos
during the milling season, but during
the olf-season he would instead of not
receiving anything get 40 centavos per
day"

"It is agreed that the plant of the

to operate without interruption on the

pended pending an election to be held
at such time and place as the Labor
Relations Board may determine
Instead of calling the election the
Board held up it's decision for almost
year. The Board now decides that
no election will be held and certifies
the C. l. o. as the bargaining agency
even though ninety per cent of the
workers are now members of the
American Federation of Labor.
Biased Decisions Charged

of prejudice and bias against the A.

mental rights Of a majority of the

New Warehouse
Of Four Stories
For Pdper Storage. Money
Orders and Postcard
Divisions

Washington, D. ca new ware
house of three stories and basement,
which cost 81 ,394,770 and has a stor-
age capacity of 700 carloads of paper,
has been completed and tuned over to
the Government Printing Office, di-
rected by A. E. Giegengack, public
printer.
The building was erected under an
act of congress of 1885 that author
lied the erection of annex buildings
to the G. P. o. at cost not to ex-
ceed $5,885,O00. The limit of cost was
raised March % of this year to $7,700,-
600.
The plan, under those authoriza-
tions, also calls for the erection Of an
eight-story structure on the corner
now occupied by the original Govern
ment Printing Office building, pur-
chased in 1861.
The new warehouse is built of re-
inforced concrete, and is ACT feet long
by eighty-seven feet and six inches
wide. In addition to storage space, il
houses the postal-card and money
order printing departments.
The third floor, which is on level
with the railroad tracks running into
Union Station, has two tracks that can
accommodate sixteen freight cars at
once. Special legislation was neces-
sary to allow freight trains to be run
into the city as far as the building.
Third Floor Provides Considerable
Storage Space
The third floor also houses air-con-
ditioning equipment, and provides con-
siderable storage space. From it op-
crates an automatic roll lowerator that
is used to lower rolls of postal-carc
stock weighing about 1000 pounds
from the unloading platform to the
postal-card stock storage space, on the
second floor next to the postal-carC
presses. With it a 4O,000-pound car
load of stock can be unloaded and de-
livered to storage in forty-fve min
utes.
Ordinarily locomotives do not entel
the building. However, series Of fan:
is provided in the roof for exhaustinl

necessary for them to enter.
The postal-card printing depart
ment is equipped with three rotar!
presses, and space is provided for {;
fourth. The three presses have al
average output for an eight hour da!
Of 100000 cards, printed, cut an,
banned in packs of fifty. The card
are printed from case-hardened stee
plates.
The money-order department in
cludes three new presses special!
built for the printing of domestic
money orders, and an older press, use,
for international money orders. Th'
new presses print both sides of tn
sheet from roll twenty-five inches
wide, sixteen orders at an impression
and each press is capable of 10000 i'm
pressions an hour. Four serial number
are printed on each money order, ne
icessitating sixty-four numbering heads
on each press, and the postal money
order seal is printed on each order il
blue
The old press prints internationa
money orders six at time.

fishing precedents whereby the rights
Of craft workers are being whitfield
away to a point where the principle
of denial of skilled craft representa-
tion where the unskilled workers pre-
dominate in industry enunciated by
Board member Edwin Smith in the
dissenting opinion in the Allis Chal-
mers case will become reality.
"In the present decision the Board
argues that because the international
Association of Machinists was inter
ested in organizing general production
workers in the Muncie plant the skill
ed craft workers in the tool and dye
shop affiliated with the international
Association of Machinists are pre-.
cluded from selecting their bargaining
agent as separate unit.
"It is an effort on the part of the
Board to abolish the craft as unit fol
collective bargaining. 1t penalties the
tool and dye makers who are skilled
craftsmen and who desire to be bar
gained for by the international Asso
citation of Machinists, because the In
ternational Association Of Machinists
seeks also to organize and accept into
membership the general production
workers on the basis of a separate
charter.
Labor Act Disregarded
"Yet the National Labor Relations
Act does not establish representation
on the basis of membership in any
union. The Act provides that work
ers in an appropriate unit may by
majority vote select their bargaining
agent.
"It is quite possible for group Of
tool and dye makers, another group O.
other skilled craftsmen each to selec
the International Association of Ma
chinists or any other individual or or
ganization as it's bargaining agent
That does not merge the variou:
groups who select the same bargain
ing agent into one group under any
construction of the Act, but neverthe
less the Board in the present case ha:
held that it does.
"This attempt to fuse a district ant
separate craft group with larger
non-craft group of production worker:
resulting in denial to the craft grouI
of it's separate choice of representa-
tive is wholly unwarranted, ,unlawfu
and an unconstitutional interference
with the rights of craft workers t.
exercise freedom of choice of repre-
sentative guaranteed by the Nationa
Labor Relations Act.
Guthrie Agreement Cited
"Another factor to be considered il
the present case is this: About a yea
ago the workers were on strike, re
sulting in litigation before Judg
Guthrie of Muncie, Indiana. AS basi
of resumption of operations Judg
Guthrie secured an agreement as fol

PRELEGAL COLLEGE
REQUIREMENT HIT
Chairman Of Bar Admissions
Committee Opposes Plan in
D. G. as Unjust,

John Paul Earnest, jr.. chairman
of the Committee on Admission to the
Bar, yesterday denounced the pro-
posal to require two years of college
work as a prerequisite to the study
Of law in the District.
Mr.. Earnest termed any such pro-
posal "a gross injustice" and said that
''our situation is totally different from
other Jurisdictions" The question Is
likely to come up for consideration
at an early meeting of the District
Bar Association.
The American Bar Association, said
Mr.. Earnest. is not in sympathy with
the program to raise educational re-
quirements here for bar admission
candidates. Many people in Washing
ton study law only to secure a better
position in the Government service,
Mr.. Earnest pointed out.
If the plan of the theoretical col
lege man" were carried out, 1t would
first mean q prelegal requirement
OF two years OF college. then three.
then four and, finally, only specified
and chosen institutions of learning
would be on the approved list. he
said. :
"It is an outrage to say that a
man As years old, with two or three
children, cannot get along in life
because he cannot acquire an edu-
cation which theoretical college men
might set up," said Mr.. Earnest.
