New York City GLNS).-A strong
plea for cooperation between employ

general welfare, was made by Matthew
Woll, vice president Of the American
Federation of Labor in a Labor Day
address over Station WOR. He also
warned of the dangers of growing
government interference with industry.
Woll expressed the opinion that the
nation is moving toward a new un-

and went on to say:
"We seem rapidly to be embracing
the spirit that prevails and dominates
industrial relations in England and
so we'll referred to in the report just
presented by the Presidents Commits

Toledo, O. OLNS).-Slums are a
danger to all r. M. Little, consulant
in the United States Housing Au-
thority, emphasized in speaking at the
dedication of Brand Whitlock Homes,
the Governments lum-clearance and
low-rent housing project constructed
by PWA funds.
"Recent studies," Little said, "have
repeatedly shown that sums are not
only serious, and to large extent
unnecessary, drain upon our munich
pal budgets; they are also a serious
threat to our civic well-being.
"The worst health conditions in our
cities are found in unsanitary and con-
gested slum districts. Overcrowded
homes lead to the spread of contag-
ious diseases. A study by the U. S.
Children's Bureau has shown that the
infant mortality rate in congested
homes is twice as high as in homes
with sufficient space. Lack of sun
light in substandard homes often
causes ricketts, in children.
"Most of our juvenile delinquents
come from the slums. Social malad-

EFFECTIVE OCT. "a
Threat of Low Wage Con
tractors To Sub-Con-
tract Work

Prospective resistance to the Fed
eral Wages and Hours Act which goes
into effect October "a, has been re-
ported to Elmer F. Andrews, admins
traitor of the Act.
Information received from various
sections of the country indicates that
low-wage and long-hour employers are
not going to give up the oppressive
wages and hours they impose on their
workers without fight. Although
the wage rate effective October "a is
only 25 cents an hour, it 'transpires
that this rate severely hits many low
wage employers who operate directly
under contracts with New York job
bers. In one instance it is reported
an employer-contractor paid only six
cents an hour.
A troublesome feature of this pro-
posed law violation is revealed with
the threat Of some of these low-wage
contractors to sub-contract their work
to home workers in the belief that they
can thus obtain exemption from the
wage-hour act.
In Puerto Rico, employers have iI-
stituted campaign to exempt every
industry on the Island from the Act,
but Puerto Rican labor unions and the
Puerto Rican legislature are reported
as opposing such movement.

heed, it may end up costly for you.

report made on these questions with
the firm by our shop committee.
The improvements to our shop are
going along very nicely and the future
is looking lot brighter. Two of the

The department store employers, or

was, stressed that any member who had
become delinquent through misfortune,

and passed unanimously that any

British Labor Act
Opposed by Green
Changes Should Be Made
According To American
.WdY.
INDUSTRIAL PEACE

Definite opposition to any proposal
to substitute British Labor statutes
for the National Labor Relations Act
was expressed by William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, at a press conference in At
lantic City, N. j., following the tenth
and last days session of the quarterly
meeting of the A. F. of L. Executive
Council.
Mr.. Green commended President
Roosevelt's Commission for it's thor
ough analysis of labor legislation in
Great Britain and the effect of that
legislation on British labor relations.
He said the American Federation of
Labor shared the belief expressed by
the Commissions report that realiza-
tion of industrial peace lay in cooper
alton and mutual respect" between
employers and employees. .0; q. -.
Amending Labor Relations Act ~
Although the American Federation
of Labor is dissatisfied with the admin
istration of the National Labor Re-
lations Act and is moving to have GER
tain sections of it amended so as to
prevent a continuance of maladminis-
tration by the National Labor Re-
lations Board, Mr.. Green made it very
clear that the Federation believed any
changes should be worked out "in the
American way and in accordance with
American requirements" Voluntary
acceptance by American employers of
the principle of collective bargaining
so general in Great Britain, he added,
is more effective in imparting a sense
of responsibility in labor than any re-
strictive legislation.
In his consideration of British and
American labor laws Mr.. Green was
guided by conferences with Robert J..
Watt, director of Social Security for
the American Federation of Labor,
who represented the A. F. of L., on the
Presidents Commission. .
Mr.. Green was particularly critical
of the limitations in the British La
Dor Act Of 1927 on the right to strike.
Emphasizes Responsible Unionism
He said the report made. by the
Roosevelt Commission impressed him
as "fine objective analysis" of the
situation in Great Britain, adding:
