LONGSHOREMEN DEFY ULRB
UNTIL IT IS INVESTIGATED

Buffalo, N. Y. GLNS) THE Inter
national Longshoremen's Union will
refuse to abide by decisions of the
National Labor Relations Board until
the board is investigated, President
Joseph p. Ryan of the longshoremen
told the 18th annual convention of the
New York State Federation of La
Dor.
Ryan made the assertion while de-
Tending a resolution condemning ad-
ministration of the Labor Relations
Act. 1t was introduced by his organ
ization and approved by the conven-
ton.
In floor debate with Miss Bella
Dodd of New York, delegate from the
A. +. Of l.. Teachers Union, Ryan as
serted:
"We 1.-THE Longshoremen Union
members) will refuse to abide by de-
cisions of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board until it is investigated to
see if the Board is allied with Com
muniStS."
Miss Dodd has charged that passage
of the resolution would align the
State Federation with "reactionary
wings of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, the National Manufac-
turers' Association and similar organ
izations."

UNION LABEL is MARK OF
QUALITY
(FrOm The Brewery WOrker)

The American people must learn,
if they do not already know, that the
union label on a product they buy
means it has been made in America.
1t means that the article has been
made with the skill of union labor. 1t
means that the manufacturer is not a
chiseler. 1t means that the article
was produced in decent place of busi-
ness under favorable sanitary condi-
tions, and not in the forbidding en-
vironment of sweatshop. 1t means
that the company which made the ar
ticle and is offering it for sale is will
ing to pay living wage and help our
country regain the road to recovery.
And if it's the "Red Label" of the
International Union of Brewery Work
men, it means that the beer they are
drinking was made by brewery work.
men, men who know their business
and have helped make the regulations
of the finest beers in the country.

HIGH PAY FOR STRIKE REAKERS

How much more willing some employers are
to pay out big money to strike-breakers than to
pay decent wage to their employees!
Some striking instances of this were brought
out in recent testimony before the Senate Civil
Liberties Committee. At Canton, Ohio employees
|of Republic Steel who organized the "baclI to
work. movement, made rs high as 81 200 to
ISL 300 month. Normally, the best paid of them
the skilled rollers got $3.50 an hour. While try
ing to break the strike, they were paid for II
hours day, and bonus besides overtime. One
who testified was quite eloquent about the gen
erosity of Tom Girdler.
1t is really the regular thing, though seldom
brought out in reports of strikes. Once when it
was made clear to the public was in the last great
railroad strike, that of the shopmen, 16 years ago
The strike-breaking shopmen were paid 10, 15
and sometimes more than 20 cents an hour more
than the wages which the railroads vowed would
break them if paid to their experienced men
These substitutes SO incompetent that the
|ICC was tearing it's hair over the mounting rail
Iroad wrecks and the fruit growers in California
were tearing their shirts over the delay Of theil
|crops enroute to the east.
Some corporation magnates will pay almost any
|sum-of their stockholders money-to get theil
own way.

THE LITTLE FELLOW IS SOAKED

Who pays the heaviest taxes? The poor man
pays the heaviest imposts. He probably does not
own any real estate but he pays the landlords
taxes and pays heavily. He pays other taxes and
1only grumbles at the inconvenience of a penny
there and a nickel there on sales taxes.
One of his heaviest burden is the gasoline tax.
He pays it in with the price of gasoline and does
mot give it much thought although the tax in
creases the cost of his gasoline about 80 per cent
and more than that in some states. This burden
falls upon families whose income averages $40 to
|S3O a week, and who cars worth approx
|mately $238.
More than one-thrd of all the motor cars in
this country are owned by families with incomes
lof less than $50 week. These people have to
work a week or more each year Just to earn the
|money to pay gasoline taxes

Strike Vote Ordered
By RdilwdY Unions

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-General
chairmen of Is railroad labor unions,
after collapse of an attempt by the
National Mediation Board to settle a
controversy over the demand of the
railroads for Is per cent wage cut,
ordered an immediate, nationwide
strike vote.
George M. Harrison, chairman of
the Railway Labor Executives Asso-
citation, representing approximately
100000 railway workers, described the
strike vote call as labor's answer to
the carriers "insistence" on the wage
cut.
He said the vote was unanimous
among the / 600 general chairmen rep
resenting the Is organizations.
Trainmen in Same Stand
Chairman Harrison's stand was
concurred in by President A. F. Whit
ney of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen who have been conducting
negotiations apart from the executives
association from which they withdrew
a year ago. Whitney said an immedi
ate strike vote would also be taken
among the approximately 10000
members of his union.
The railroads were represented by
a committee of fifteen.
Decision to take strike vote fol-
lowed announcement by DR.. William
NJ. Leiserson, chairman of the National
Mediation Board, that efforts to settle
the wage cut dispute had failed. The
railroads agreed to arbitration, he
said, but the unions refused. The board,
of which the other two members are
Otto S. Boyer and George A. Cook, has
been trying to bring agreement since
August II.
Notice Must be Given
Under the provisions of the Railway
Labor Act, the unions are required to
give the railroads formal notice as to
the date on which they propose to
strike. The President then appoints
fact-finding commission. The COM
mission must investigate and make a
recommendation within 80 days from
the time it begins to function.
During the period the commission is
meeting and for 80 days after it has
made recommendation there can be
no action by either side. At the end
of the 80 day period, each side may
act as it sees fit.

Larger Benefits For
Unemployed Is Aim

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, at the
conclusion of the ninth days session
of the Federation's Executive Council
at Atlantic City, New Jersey, revealed
that the A. f. Of l.. will take vigorous
action for changes in both Federal and
State unemployment insurance laws
to provide increased benefits for a
longer period of time than are paid un-
der existing statutes.
Unemployment insurance, he said,
is one way of promoting job security,
for if employers find they can reduce
taxes as the number of unemployed
diminishes there will be less indiscrim-
mate discharging.
Mr.. Green said the Federation was
not in favor of sealing unemployment
insurance taxes in inverse ration to
the frequency with which an employer
laid off employees. Such system, he
said, would complicate the operation
of unemployment insurance law and
would leave too much opportunity for
manipulation of records.
"The amounts now granted each
week in various states under the un-
employment insurance laws are in
adequate" MIR. Green said "They are
insufficient to maintain a worker and
his family in decency and comfort
Mr.. Green revealed that the report
prepared by the Executive Council
will contain specific recommended
tions for changes in the unemploy-
ment insurance law. That report will
be presented to the Forthcoming 5Sth
Annual Convention of the Federation
which will be held in Houston, Tex,
starting October 3.

j. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

British labor, like that of most
democratic nations, is on the march.
This was made plain in the annual re-
port of the General Council of the
British Trades Union Congress, sub
mitted to this years congress at
Blackpool. Meetings of the congress,
like those of American Federation of
Labor conventions, are of international
interest.
Delegates were told that in world
torn by internal dissensions, wars and
relationships, the British trade union
movement has materially increased it's
membership and extended its influ-
ence. Last years congress was in
formed that the total membership was
just over 100000, an increase Of
394 900 over that of the previous year.
The Blackpool congress represented
nearly 4,500,000, and as these figures
are based on returns to the end of
1897, it is fair to assume that the
British trade union movement at the
present time has not far short of
100000 adherents. This is hearten-
ing news, of world Importance.
X X X
A considerable portion of the report
was reversed for international affairs
in which Spain figures very largely.
Over $4,000 has been raised by the
National Council of Labor for the In
ternational Solidarity Fund, apart
from $4,000 raised by the "Milk for
Spain" Fund. Over 5000 tons of pro-
visions have been dispatched to Spain
to total of 431a million pesetas. This
fund is running hospital of $50 beds
at Onteniente, which is stated by Is
surgeons and 80 nurses. The fund is
distributing milk to nearly 10000
children.
Delegates received an illustrated
report prepared by the International
Federation of Trade Unions and the
Labor and Socialist international CIV
ing complete details of the fund since
the outbreak of hostilities.
Another international matter which
is likely to arouse considerable inter-
est is the rejection of the proposals of
the Russian trade union movement for
affliation to the |. F. T. U. The pros
and cons of this matter were given
in detail.
X X X
Assistance has continued to be given
to German and Austrian refugees, the
report pointed out. In addition to the
granting of weekly allowances, assist
ance has been given in the way of
helping to secure the extension of per-
mits, the securing Of accommodation
and advice regarding legal status, and
other matters.
Detailed attention was given to
problems of organization, with par
ticular reference to those of the "dis-
tressed areas" youth, domestic work
ers, hotel and catering stats and
nurses. Evidence on nursing condi-
tions has been submitted to the Inter-
Departmental Committee appointed by
the Government, and trade union re-
cruitment in this profession has pro-
ceeded by leaps and bounds, the report
said.
Sixteen new trades councils have
been formed in the past year and two
new federations of trades councils.

KEY TO WORKERS FUTURE
When you get down to brass tacks, the Wag
ner Labor Relations Act is mighty good thing
But when you get down to where the tacks came
from, there wouldn't have been any Wagner Ac
If it had not been for over half-a-century of la
Dor union battles of all sorts.
Which is the thing we shall do well to remem
her.
'Friends of Labor" are very good to have. But
there would be no friends of labor if labor had not
shown that it was worthwhile to be friendly. AnC
that is not done by hocking off alone by yourself.
Organization, association, integration-these
are still the key words to the future of the work
ers.
These separate bodies, and especially the sep
arate skulls, help to mslead us off into the notior
that we amount to something by ourselves, one al
ia time. For certain purposes, for some very vita
matters, we cannot act otherwise than alone; bu
when it comes to dealing with situations which We
Jail have in common, the individual who thinks tt
gain more by staying on the sdelines-gets los
lin the shuttle.
The working people are going places, if they
keep on as they have for the last 80 years.
But they are not going to travel one at a time
