Collective Bargaining Vital


Labor believes all plans affecting
labor must rest on collective bargain
ing. Beginning with the basic fact Of
our social organization that people
must have incomes to buy the neces-
saries and comforts for living, labor
asserts the right of every person to
opportunity to earn that income which
includes the right to payment from
work done.
'The right of labor to the fruits of
its toll has been obscured by the COM
plexities flowing from the cooperative
form of financing, and mass produc-
tion with it's Standardization of de-
signs and machines and sub division
of work for repetitive processes. Cor
poration financing has altered and OBJ
scured the responsibility of investors
In business enterprise. Mass pro-
duction or large scale production has
obscured the relation between the
worker and his productiveness
What is needed in this situation is
genuine organization of workers in
unions.
No Substitute For Justice
"This union function is indispens-
able to justice to workers, to balanced
progress of the industry within the
business structure and to social JUS
tice and peace in the community. De-
nial Of this fundamental justice to
those who carry on the production
processes of industry or maintain our
service institutions, or attempts to
Illustrate collective bargaining are
what cause labor disputes and social
discomfort. Substitutes for justice

Back Nation Wide Drive Against In
fantile aralysis-Pledge Whole
hearted Cooperation.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). Sew
enty-three officers of national and in
ternational unions have wired pledges
Of wholehearted cooperation of their
unions in the Fight Infantile Paralysis
Campaign Of 1899. This was in re-
Spouse to the invitation Of President
William Green Of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor that they join with
him in the formation of the Labor Di-
vision Of the Committee for the Cele-
bration Of the Presidents Birthday.
Wholehearted cooperation and
deep understanding of the necessity of
this campaign made up the keynote of
every message to President Green.
ghis record support of the leaders of
labor definitely proved that labor is
fully aware that the dread infantile
paralysis knows no boundaries and
that it takes its highest toll within the
families of labor.
Daniel j Tobin, president of the
Teamsters' Union, clearly voiced this
sentiment in his acceptance, saying:
*OalE those Of Us who have had sick
ness Of this kind, or a sickness of a
similar nature, can fully appreciate
the necessity Of maintaining an in
stitation by public subscription which
Will help wipe out the dreadful scourge
of infantile paralysis which has per-
secuted our safety for years"

IS BIGGEST IN THE U.S..

Geneva (ILNS). - Index numbers
compiled by the International Labor
Office and published in the new edi-
ton of its Year Book of Labor Sta
tistics, show that in March, 1888, the
latest month for which complete fig
ures are available, industrial produc-
tion in IL countries was from 23.1 to
284 per cent higher than in 1929. In
s other countries, however, it was
from 40 to 1876 per cent lower than
in 1929.
The greatest increase, 824 per cent,
occurred in Latvia; and the greatest
decline, 1876 per cent, in the United
States.
Countries, besides Latvia, in which
production exceeded the 1929 figure,
and the percentage of increase given
by the Year book for each, are: Japan,

In the other matter, the Civil Liber-

Judge William Clark in New Jersey,
restraining Mayor Frank Hague of
Jersey City from stopping free speech
in his town and driving out union or
ganizers. He appealed to the United
States Third Circuit Court. This was
his right. But Judge j. Warren Davis
of that court took the unheard-of ac-
tion of fixing court of five judges to
hear the case-and calling back two
retired judges to sit on it.

These judges are Joseph Burlington
and j. Whitaker Thompson, two of
the very old men who got the Third
Circuit the name Of the "Methusaleh

decisions which the Supreme Court re-
versed in one session.

disqualify this made-up court-but did
so on matters of form, and expressly

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). rs The
Supreme Court at it's last sitting
granted two appeals for review much
more important to labor than any of
the cases decided at the same sitting.
The Fansteel Metallurgical Corpora
ton, North Chicago, ILL.,, refused to
bargain collectively with it's workers.
The result was strike; and mainly
for time a sit-down strike. The
county court issued an order calling
for eviction of the strikers, and the
sheriff carried out the order Before
that, however, the company had fired
the strikers.
Board Blamed Company
The N L. r. B. ruled that while the
sit-down strike was illegal, the COM
pany had led the way in illegality. 1t
had persistently and for months re-
fused to bargain collectively with it's
employees, and interfered with their
organization-both actions against the
law. The company's action produced
the strike, the board said. The N. l..
r. B. ordered that certain of the dis
charged men be reinstated or COM
pensated. The Seventh Circuit Court,
holding that participation in the il
legal sit-down strike gave ground for
discharge of the men, by a two-to-one
