Seattle Officials
Recommended Arrest
OF Harry Bridge

WASHINGTON.-A recommended
ton by the Seattle District Office of
the immigration and Naturalization
Service for the arrest of Harry
Bridges, longshoremen's union lead
er and c. L. o. West Coast director,
has been disclosed by Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins here.
Bridges, a native of Australia, en-
tered the United States legally on
April IL, 1920, and has resided in
the country continuously since that
date. He filed declarations of in
tention to become an American citi-
zen in 1921 and 1923, both of which
he was forced to allow to expire be-
cause of the nature of his work. He
has made a third application re-
Gently.
Miss Perkins stated that certain
persons had filed new complaints
against Harry Bridges in the Seattle
office last fall. The local officials
conducted questioning under oath
and the testimony of four witnesses
was forwarded to the central office
here with a recommendation that a
warrant of arrest be issued"

Workers 10 Be poIIed
Al Arizona Corporation

The National Labor Relations
Board today announced that an cleo
ton by secret ballot would be held
within 20 days of the election order
among production employees of the
Tennessee Schuylkill Corporation,
Chloride, Arizona, to deter mine col
lective bargaining representatives.
Workers will vote to determine
whether they wish to be represented
by the International Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Works, Local No.
384, affiliated with the Committee
for Industrial Organization.
Employees on the pay roll during
the period Immediately preceding
November %, 1887, will be eligible
to vote, except those who have vol
unfairly quit or were discharged for
cause since that period.
The record showed that on August
2, 1887, the date of the filing of the
original petition, the company en-
ployed 121 persons within the unit
which the board found appropriate.
On December 3, 1887, counsel for
the company and counsel for the
board stipulated that on November
20, 1887, the date of the hearing, the
company had in its employ 141 en-
ployees excluding office workers,
supervisors, jiggers, shift bosses, the
mine superintendent, together with
any other persons who had the right
to hire or fire.
Walter Goodwin, a union organ
izer, testified at the public hearing
held in Kingman, Arizona, that 81
employees of the company were on
August 2, 1887, members of the n
ion. Although union application
cards were not introduced in evil
dence, the record showed that Good
win had such cards with him, that
he testified from an inspection of
them, and that the cards were there
after handed to the Trial Examiner.
Goodwin also testified that addition
al employees joined the union after
August @. According to the Trial
Examiners count there were 70 ap-
plication cards. Although Goodwin
testified that all persons whose
names appeared on the cards were
members of the union, no pay roll of
the company was introduced into
evidence and the record disclosed no
comparison at any time of the cards
and any pay roll of the company.
Believing that no adequate show
ing had been made that the union
represented a majority of the en-
ployees of the company within the
appropriate unit, the board direct
ed that an election be held to resolve
the representation question.
The union filed its representation
petition on August 2, 1887.

TRAVELLER Tells OF
TRIP TO SALT LAKE

The famous travels of the fabu-
lous Marco Polo in the middle ages
have often been a source of enjoy
ment and value to modern students
and they surely must have been in
tensely interesting and inspiring to
the people of that day.
This is all by way of an introduce
ton to a visit that the writer had
to Salt Lake City recently, not that
there is a semblance of relationship
between Marco Polo and the writer,
but people do like first hand and
fresh stories of other communities
even though they are not far away.
After considerable persuasion, l
was induced to go out to the mine
at Bingham, which really isn't a
mine at all. 1t is a circular open
excavation or pit, perhaps 1900 or
1000 feet deep at its greatest extent
and embracing a periphery or rim
several miles in extent. The copper
veins distinctly stand out. This
whole stupendous amphitheater is
terraeed with roads upon which
travel electric locomotives and trains
of cars.
The city itself is called Bingham
and was once mentioned in Strange
AS It Seems" as the longest and
narrowest street in the world. The
street of Bingham is extremely mar
row, the town being located in a
winding ravine with a precipitous
incline. 1t has a population of
several thousand. The whole city
gives one a feeling of being cramped.
The town is quite like any other
mining community with its smoky
grimy buildings and numerous
saloons although the retail sale of
whisky and other hard liquor is not
authorized in Utah. I couldn't help
but reflect that while the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company has laid
off 5000 or 5000 miners and other
workers here in Montana and par
ticularly in Butte, the company at
Bingham is still employing their
men q days a month.
However, to get back to the story,
it was interesting to learn some
Mormon customs. Many rumored
that the Jews were outwitting the

u nIvERSITY AND
UNIONS COME INTO
CONFLICT OVER PLAY

The State University campus at
Missoula is all astir again over the
issue of unionism. In the student
paper, The Kaimin, there appeared
a full-page headline: Union De-
mands Block Student Musical" One
of the main statements was, "The
union officials had demanded that
all musicians in the show be mem
bers of the union and that they be
paid union wages during %rehearsals
and actual production, thus %increas-
ing the cost of the show several
hundred dollars"
The show was to be an all-uni-
versity musical, the profits from
which would 60 into the Student
Union Building fund, which is heav-
lily in debt to the PWA. The show
was to be open to the paying public.
The news story carried several quo
tations bearing against the demands
of the musicians but none from any
of the musicians defending their de-
mands. The story spread itself into
the Spokane and other large daily
papers. Many students got the idea
from the story that the musicians in
the town we're demanding that they
be given all the orchestra work in
the show, or that the union was
forcing all students who took part
in the show to join the musicians
union.
The unions demands seem to have
been something like this: An orches-
ira of about II pieces was to play
through the show. Fifteen of these
players were students who belonged
to the local musicians union. These
players let their union officials de-
mand that all II or so players in
the pit be paid the regular union
musicians wage, inasmuch as the
show was to be a commercial enter
tainment. The Student Union Build
ing authorities insisted that the
show was only an amateur student
production.
There was an effort made to get
a full discussion of the entire con-
troversy before the Campus Con-
gress, but for some unknown reason
the plan was dropped. In the Kai-
min a more %conciliatory account Of
the negotiations describes certain
concessions which the musicians
union has made to the show, and
quotes a student member of the mu-
sicians' union in defense of their
stand.
The story states that the must
clans will not charge for ~rehearsals
and will play both performances of
the show for 81 per man and So
extra leaders fee. Hence the
stumbling block" says The Kaimin,
has changed from the im%possibility
of paying original union demands to
the objection of the Student Union
to paying part of the cast of an anna
teur production while others remain
unpaid"

H~iII-Sheppard Bill Pro.
videS for Military
Dictatorship

For two Congresses, the War De-
partment has attempted to secure
passage of bills authorizing by law
it's mobilization plan for military
control of the nation. The present
bill has been Te-worded to throw
the opposition off the scent, but pro-
vides for the same dictatorial powers
originally requested.
The intention behind the bill can
best be realized by a study Of the
bill as originally proposed, which
included:
1. It's application not only in a
war emergency but in any "emer-
gency declared by Congress-" that
is, to a domestic emergency;
2. A draft Of man power between
the ages of q and 81, that is, con-
scription of labor; and
3. A provision giving the Presi-
dent power to license the press
along with other lines of business.
Because of determined opposition
to these proposals, the bill now APP
plies to war emergencies only. The
draft of mar power is eliminated,
and the press is exempted from the
licensing provisions.
But control of labor is assured in
the present bill by the provision
giving the President power to fix
not only prices and rents, but com
.pensation." which means wages.
Also penalties of Jail terms or fines
of 100000 r authorized for any
individual or association violating
''any proclamation, order, rule or
regulation made under the act"
which means the working man could
be forced to work or go to jail and
labor would be deprived of all pow
er to bargain collectively.
Control of the press is made pos
sible under the priority provision
giving the President power to con-
troll supplies of material to producers
of any commodity, Any newspaper
opposing the governments policy
could be deprived of paper and other
necessary supplies or its supplies
could be delayed so as to make pub
LEGATION of a newspaper impractical.
The Hill Sheppard Bill Does Not
Prevent War PrO~fiteering
In spite of the title under which it
masquerades, ITO prevent profiteer-
ing in time of war;" the bill takes
no steps to limit wal profits except
to call upon the Secretary of the
Treasury to recommend after a war
has begun a plan of taxation calcu-
lated to absorb surplus profits above
"a fair, normal return"
"A fair, normal return" could be
interpreted so that companies which
had engaged in a war boom and
reaped large profits during a pre-
ceding period of years would be
rewarded by high profits during the
war, while companies which had not
engaged in a war boom would be
entitled to a much smaller return.
Price-fixing powers are no threat
to capital. In the last war, steel
companies, for example, refused to
produce until they obtained prices
which were later shown to have paid
them a profit of 80 per cent. The
copper companies refused to pro-
duce for 23h cents a pound when
their costs were later shown to have
been 161s cents.
