Higher Wages Secured
By A. F. Of L. Agreement

Michigan City, Ind.-The members
of Federal Labor Union No. 20482, A.
F. of L., are enjoying the substantial
benefits obtained in their agreement
with the Josam Manufacturing Com
pany here. The contract, which is ef-
fective until April ~, 1888, was Sc
cured with the assistance of Thomas
Flynn, A. F. of L. representative, and
H. E. Sheck, a commissioner of con-
ciliation of the L. S. Department of
Labor.
The new agreement brought wage
increases of 10 cents an hour or more
over rates paid under the old agree
ment of April u, 1887, subject to a
warranting increase in business or i'm
proved competitive selling conditions,
and definitely established minimum
wage rate of 50 cents an hour.
The 44-hour work week was estab-
lished, with time and half for over
time and double time for Sundays and
six specified holidays.
Seniority rights have been fully es-
lOI dll NOIhSIS dllSI DtlllS
in the employ of the company for so
days, and hourly rate workers get
three days annual vacation with pay.
The union won recognition as eX-
elusive representative of the COM
pany's employees for collective bargain
ing, sin conformity with the National
Labor Relations Act" so closed shop
is now in effect.
An Arbitration Board has been set
up under the agreement, by reason of
which strikes and lockouts are pro-
hibited, and cooperative, helpful
spirit now apparently prevails between
workers and employer alike, proving
again that organization under the far
flung banner of the A. F. of L. brings
worthwhile gains for workers and
that genuine collective bargaining
also brings distinct advantages for
employers.

KEEP ENEMY ON RUN
TO PREVENT DEATH

There is nothing like keeping an
enemy on the run when you get him
started. Remarkable gains have been
made in automobile accident preven-
ton this year. There is greater CO.
operation on all sides to prevent death
and injury than ever before.
1t has become generally acknowl-
edged that in addition to educating the
public on safety measures, il is equal
ly important to build roads, inter-
sections and automobiles in such a
manner as to make accidents more
nearly impossible.
In studying the mechanical condi-
tions which tend to create accidents,
in spite of a drivers ability, the ques-
ton Of road visibility from the car is
now receiving particular attention. 1t
becomes apparent that in recent years,
as occupants of the car, has been i'm
paired by the craze for stream-lined
effect. Oh tas,lr.-
According to Arthur w. Stevens, a
iiielipeI VI liie ooClet! VI AuloiilolI'e
Engineers, the 1888 motorist has a
range Of forward, useful vision which
is only one-eighteenth of that of a man
walking; and while cars are about sc
per cent faster than they were II years
ago, the drivers visibility has been re-
duced 38 per cent.
No wonder "vision" from the inside
of an automobile is coming in for q
checking up in the accident prevention
drive. With safety glass, which is
universally used in automobiles, there
seems to be no good reason for design.
ing cars with less visibility. Greater
visibility will help keep the enemy
(motor accidents) on the run.

BROADEN THE TAX BASE

Every thinking citizen should sup
port the drive that will be made in
the next congress to broaden the tax
base, which would awaken large
number of people to what government
al finance means to them, by levying
direct taxes, of nominal amounts, in
the lower income brackets.
This drive can't be dismissed as an
insidious plan by "rich reactionaries'
to make the poor pay the national
bills. Its principal sponsor is Senator
LaFollette, who belongs to the left
wing bloc of the Senate. And a great
many congressman, of radical as we'll
as conservative tendencies, are behind
it.
We have reached the point where
"taxing the rich is no solution to the
fiscal problem. If the entire taxable
incomes of all persons earning $4,000
a year or more were confscated, the
revenue derived would hardly make a
dent in our swollen budget. At the
present time, though relatively few
seem to realize it, the person Of small
and moderate means contributes the
great bulk of all revenue, through hid
den taxes that are part of the cost
of every necessity as we'll as every
luxury. Lowering the income tax
base would both increase revenue and
shock millions of people who now mis-
takenly think they are taX-free, into
the realization that every man has a
tremendous stake in the tax problem.
We have been lodging the issue too
long. Those congressman who, ac-
cording to reports, are planning to do
everything possible toward legalizing
a broader tax base next session, are
performing public service of the first

WAR DEATH TO DEMOCRACY
(FrOm WASHINGTON Daily NeWs)

Recently a great hue and cry has
been raised in this country and abroad
to "save democracy" by going to war
as if democracy could be saved by
war. A new world war at this time
would doom democracy, win or lose.
Out of the shambles would rise either
Communism or Fascism, or both, but
not democracy. The only thing that
can "save democracy" is peace, at
home and abroad-a peace made dur
able by the spirit of live-and-let live;
trade, jobs, individual and national
security and some sort of international
understanding based on fair dealing.

FIRE PREVENTION
DRAMATIZED ON AIR

The National Board of Fire Under
writer's has inaugurated a new activ-
ity in the fight against fire that should
prove of far-reaching significance.
1t is broadcasting fifteen-minute
radio program each Tuesday evening
from large local Eastern station. The
programs feature the/public services
rendered by the stock fire insurance
industry, and are especially designed
to assist individuals in discovering and
rectifying fire hazards which menace
life and property. The series is to run
for 26 weeks, and is in the nature of
an experiment which, if it proves sue
cessful, may be inaugurated in other
parts of the country.
The educational messages are dram
atized, in order to interest the largest
possible number of listeners. Sound
effects are interposed, and a speaker
makes brief talk.
In addition, quarter-hour home
safety programs especially adapted for
the housewife are broadcast from the
same station each Thursday morning
AS the National Boards announce
ment of it's broadcasting series says
eve believe the possibilities of sound
public education by this means are
tremendous" The radio is a natural
addition to the weapons which have
long been used to fight fre-periodica
and newspaper advertising, inspections
of cities, etc. The man who listens tc
an entertaining broadcast on the com.
mon fire hazards, then puts what he
learns into effect, will be a man with
safer home. When thousands of in.
dividuals do this, the total saving il
lives and property values will be ire
mendous.
If these program get the attention
they deserve, they will help in solving
grave social and economic problem.

A. F. of L. in Denver were fully JUS
tifed."
The report charged that the NLRB,
on numerous occasions, had denied
the right of A. F. of L. unions to car
ry on collective bargaining on behalf
of their memberships and attacked
the board membership as partisan to
the CIO.
CIO Partisanship Charged
"Never before in the history of any
Federal bureau, commission or board,'
the report asserted, "has there been
so disrupting a factor in American
industry, or greater evidence of par
tisanship and incompetency. 1t is true
that many of the decisions handed
down by the board during the year
have been favorable to our affiliated
International Unions, but it is equally
true that in these cases the evidence
was so overwhelming that decisions
contrary to those made could not have
been supported.
"It has been quite evident in Wash
ington that many of the boards staff
employees, as we'll as the regional di-
rectors and their legal and other as
sistants were firm believers in the So
called vertical form of unionism and
worked necessarily to apply their be-
lief that it was their duty to recon
struct the American trade union move
ment.
"It is equally evident that there was
close social contact between many
of the legal representatives of the
boards staff in Washington and the
legal representatives of the CIO."
Theorists" Are Hit
The report examined at length the
problems created by the CIO, the dan
ger to the labor movement from the
Communists and expressed the opinion
that too much planning and admins.
tration has been in the hands OF
theorists instead of practical men. II
urged the inclusion of experienced
trade union officials and managers OF
industry in boards and agencies hav.
ing to do with industry and said:
"The Tampa convention of the
American Federation of Labor, 1886
decided by a unanimous vote to sup,
port no further Federal or state leg
islation creating boards, commissions
or other bodies having to deal with
labor and industry, unless the law
provided for the inclusion of trade
unionists in the personnel of such
bodies. Responsible trade union Off
cials have a contribution to make tc
the nations problems which can come
from no other group. We should be
insistent upon carrying into effect the
unanimous declaration of the Tampa
convention"

If you want to really know if it pays to advertise, just ask H. E. Reimer, contractor and build CT, who put an advertisement in the Friday issue of The Nome Nugget, consisting of four lines, advertising his residence on B street for sale, and at a cost of $1.00, C. Michaelsen called on MT. Reimer within one hour after the paper went on the street, and purchased the building. This is just another example of the fact that if you have something to dis pose of or sell to the public, it pays to put a little advertisement in the local paper, and get quick returns.
