The Executive Council is to consider two prop

First: Jurisdiction shall be granted appellate
courts to review the facts as we'll as the law to
determine whether the decision conforms to the

George McGregor Harrison, chair
man of the Railway Labor Executives
Association, president of the Brother
hood of Railway and Steamship Clerks,
etc., is very much in the news just
now. He was general in chief of rail
road labor in the fight against wage
cut; and every point he made in that
struggle was admitted to be true by
the Presidents Emergency Fact Find
ing Board.
When you consider that he was op-
posed at every point by railroad law
yers and managers, that is a large
and important victory.
If George had printed his middle
name in full, the railroad managers
might have been prepared. "Mc-
Gregor" is probably the fghtin'est
name of the fighting Scotch; and they
have all been hard to handle. Robbie
Burns boasts that
Bring a Scotsman frae his hill.
Say there's the foe!
He has no thought save how to kill
Two at a blow"
In this case, Harrison had nothing
to kill but wrongful claims, and he
certainly slaughtered them.
He was born in Missouri in 1891
son of railroad watchman. He got
some kind of railroad work when he
was 12; and the chances are that the
union rules were waived to let him
join the Brotherhood before he was
21. Anyway, he was chairman of his
lodge at 27; and went right on up
His schooling was mainly in night
schools; and he is Ph. D. from the
University of Hard Knocks. He was
named by the President to one of the
committees to gather material for the
Social Security Act.
He is big, husky, wide shouldered
hard fisted; physically and mentally
And he has made these qualities count

LABOR RECORDS REVEALED

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-Labor rec
ords of three of four candidates for
congressman at Large from Ohio
were declared splendid" while that of
the fourth was termed "bad" by Sec
retary- Treasurer Thomas j. Donnelly
of the Ohio State Federation of Labor
in general letter to all Ohio AFL
Unions last week.

Stephen M. Young, Democrats, and
George H. Bender, Republican, were
declared by Secretary Donnelly to have
splendid Labor records"
Candidate l.. l.. Marshall, Republi-
can, chad a bad Labor record during
his service as a member of the Gen
eral Assembly of Ohio and is not en-
titled to the support of Organized
Labor on his record" Secretary Don

SEEKS TO SHOW TRADE UNION
CUSTOMS "UNFAIR PRACTICES"

Chicago ILNS)-The National La
Dor Relations Board, prompted, aided
and abetted by the American News
paper Guild, is seemingly striving
vigorously to establish in law that
practically all trade union customs are
unfair labor practices" under the
Wagner Act.
That is the only general significance
that can be extracted from the COM
plant prepared by the Board and it's
attempted application in the current
case against the Heart daily news
paper organization in Chicago and
all of the American Federation of La
Dor units that have contractual re-
lations with the Hearst organization.
Alleged Crimes Cited
According to the complaint and the
conduct Of the case under that COM
plant, it is an unfair labor practice"
to solicit memberships, hold meetings,
collect dues or carry on any other
trade union activity on the company
premises and upon company time.
American Newspaper Guild wit
nesses are placed on the stand to
prove that the Chicago Editorial AS
sociation and the Newspaper CONNER
cial Associates, A. F. Of L. affiliates,
are guilty of having committed all of
these alleged crimes. Yet when their
witnesses are cross-examined they are
forced to admit that they themselves
are guilty Of these newly established
Grimes" under NLRB Interpretation.
An anomalous feature is that Ed
ward G.. Woods, attorney for the en-
ployer in this case, is forced into TAX
ing the lead in fighting the young and
inexperienced NLRB attorneys, who
show by their attitude that they know
nothing about trade union practices
and have a lot to learn about law
when the seasoned Edward G.. Woods
takes a fall out of them.
No Counsel For Unions
All of the unions which ordinarily
do business with daily newspaper
are involved in this case. Their
names are often banded about in the
testimony and all of them are named
in one of the three consolidated cases.
Yet not one of them is represented
by counsel. Daniel D. Carmell, coun-
sci for the Illinois State Federation
of Labor, is doing what he can to as
sist Mr.. Woods in protecting the long
established rights of the legitimate
| labor movement
But it appears that Messrs. Woods
and CARMEL are up against stacked
deck of cards and have no chance to
win except perhaps through an appeal
| to the courts.

BENEFIT PAYMENTS DROP

Washington, d. C. QLNS).-The
Social Security Board reports that un-
employment benefit payments during
September totalled SAL 100000, a drop
of almost S6,000,OO0 below August,
coincident with continued decline in
new claims for assistance.
The board said that new claims ag-
gregated 502,151, a "a per cent drop
under August, in the 2S states where
payments were made. The amount of
payments declined in % states. New
York accounted for about $4,300,000
of the $6,OO0,0O0 increase, the rest Of
the states averaging A per cent be-
low August.
California, Iowa, Louisiana, Michi-
gan, South Carolina and Wisconsin re-
ported increased benefit payments over
August.

EXIT FOR BLUECHER
(FrOm The Washington POst)

The mystery regarding the fate of
Marshal Vassily X. Bluecher is only
partially cleared up by the announce
ment in Moscow newspaper that his
post as commander in chief of the Red
Army in Soviet Far East has been
filled.
Is Marshal Bluecher still in Russia
or has he managed to find refuge
abroad? Does he remain among the
living or has he, perforce, joined that
numerous band of.c;uil ana military
workers in the Soviet vineyard who
having fallen afoul of Stain, now
rest in INDICATED graves? These ques-
tions are not answered. What ap-
pears certain is that brilliant strate-
gist and superb military organizer
who more than anyone else was re-
sponsible for the building up of Rus
sian prestige in the Far East, has been
and inexplicably elimin-
ated from the picture.
The fact that Bluecher's popularity
with the rank and file of the army he
led did not prevent his being purged
lis eloquent proof of Stalin's power.
The Soviet dictator is still obviously
stronger than any he has come to re-
gard as a possible rival. But at the
same time the Bluecher episode is
further evidence of that disturbed and
chaotic internal situation in the So
Wet Union which has played so great
a part in sharply reducing Russia s
international influence.

4O-HOUR WEEK POSTPONED

Milwaukee, Wis. (AFLWNS).-Or-
ganized labor here expressed profound
disappointment regarding the decision
of the joint committee OH judiciary and
finance of the Milwaukee County Board
recommending indefinite postponement
of proposal to extend the 40-hour
week to all county employees. 1t was
stated that out of 1900 employees ap-
proximately 1900 are already on the
40-hour schedule.
Spokesman for the joint committee
gave the increased cost of the 4O-hour
week as one reason for opposing it.
The manager of county institutions
said that the proposed shorter hours
would require his department to en-
ploy 2l5 additional employees at an
annual cost of $421,0OO.
