Lumber Firm Ordered
To Rehire Union Men

Crossett, Ark (AFLWNS). The
National Labor Relations Board or
dered the Crossett Lumber Company
to cease and desist from interference
with the United Brotherhood Of Car
penters and Joiners, Lumber and Saw
mill Workers, Local $500, affiliated
with the American Federation Of La
Dor, to end espionage against its work
ers, and to reinstate with back pay
Sd workers found to have been dis
charged for union activity.
The reinstatement order requires
the company to give back pay less net
earnings during the period of discrim-
ination, including expenses incurred
by the "a discharged workers in find
ing work in places located in other
states. These workers, the board said,
incurred expenses which they would
not have had if they had continued to
work for the Crossett company and
had not been forced by unfair labor
practices to leave their homes" To
the extent that these expenses dimin-
ished the employees earnings, the
board ruled that such earnings shall
not be deducted in computing the loss
of pay.

In THE ne W S
JOHN R. sTEELMAN

He isn't in the news as much as
he ought to be, considering that the
service Of which he is director settled
in his first year over 1000 labor diff
culties, involving 100000 men. But
he is getting there, steadily.
Steelman was born in Thornton,
Ark, in 1900, and knows the logging
camps of the South by experience.
Harder, more gruelling work, more abb
splutely under the despotic control of
the boss, it would be hard to find any
where Steelman, six feet one and
strongly-which doesn't mean heavily
built, had strength enough to do a
little thinking over his work. 1t
guided his education.
He went to Henderson-Brow Col
lege in Arkansas with $65; and made
it. He graduated there in 1921; and
went on to Vanderbilt University. He
took a masters degree in sociology
there in 1924 and a degree in social
ethics the next year, being instructor
as well as student all the time. He
repeated the double role at Harvard
and at the University of North Caro-
| lima, and was professor at Alabama
/ College for five years.
Then he came to the Department
of Labor, where he got the most val
liable of all graduate courses in as
sociation with Ed. McGrady. Steel
man has been Commissioner of Con-
citation, special assistant to the Sec
| retary of Labor, and since June, 1887,
has been Director of Cancellation.
Whether the job keeps him busy or
not, you can Judge from the figures
given.
He is fair of skin, blue-gray of eye,
dark of hair, which is getting bit
thin on the edges. But he is still
husky.

The guerillas come into towns where
japanese are garrisoned, visit with
the inhabitants, steal what they can
from the invaders, buy and sell and
even collect taxes. They actually go
into such Japanese bases as Peking
and Tientsin to order some supplies,
and in some fashion, there are deliv-
cred where they can be reached.
But for the most part they get their
supplies by robbing the Japanese sup
ply trains.

The Bell Telephone system, on the

on its payroll. Five years later, it had
244, 500 employees, decline of 32 per

The same system in 1880 paid out
1884, ,46s 900 in wages and salaries.
Five years later, it paid out $780,

LABOR SHOULD REMEMBER

One Of the common but little under
stood ways in which labor gets the
worst of it was shown in New York
the other day. The Consolidated Edi-
son system has been issuing bonds,
S260,000,000 Of them; and the New
York Public Service Commission, go
ing over the books, declares the ex-
pense accounts unreasonable and un-
justified" The Consolidated paid too
large a commission to the bankers for
underwriting in the first place, and
added huge sums for advertising and
legal advice, the commission said
1T is our judgment" said the COM
mission, 'that no part Of the expenses
of Morgan Stanley and Company, Inc,
Of the advertising firms which rem
dered bills to that company, or for
legal services rendered to the under
writer's should be paid by any of the
six companies (the subsidiaries) that
issued the bonds. The other legal ex-
penses should, in our opinion, be cut
in half"
Of course, the operating companies
would add all these charges to their
light bills, and soak the consumer
But labor, which so many fail tc
realize, is soaked, too. It cannot be
repeated too often that graft and ex-

The eCherry
%Yv Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantIy,
sometimes recklessly.

Labor Day, 1888, brings a brighter
outlook than Labor Day, 1887.
Last year business was declining.
This year it seems definitely on the
mend, with activity growing in many
lines.
That means more jobs, more wages.
The happier outlook makes sweep
ing wage reductions unlikely.
Largely as a result of labor's edu-
cational work for more than half a
century, public sentiment is against
low wages.
Which makes for maintenance of
wage scales and support of labor's
stand against wage slashes.
i 4
Labor can look back with great sat-
isfaction on its progress since the first
Labor Day celebration in 1882.
The fight for better conditions has
been hard and at times it seemed as if
no progress was being made.
But any losses were only temporary
and the trend was steadily upward
Progress was greatest where there
was labor solidarity and unity.
Division brings danger "In union
there is strength" has been recognized
since the dawn Of history.
At this Labor Day time, as always,
there are compelling reasons for labor
unity.
The sooner leaders resume unity ef-
forts with a determination to succeed,
the better for labor and America.

Three wars are waging on three
fronts in the world today, Siberia.
China and Spain; and not one of these
wars was formally declared. What a
change from the classic days when a
herald went in state to proclaim sol
emnly to some foreign ruler that the
herald's masters did not like the man
ners of the ruler, and were going to
beat him up!
If there were anything amusing
about war, one would find it in the
home comments on the fighting on the
Siberian front. Some of that fighting
has been hand to hand, bayonet to
bayonet Many thousands of men are
engaged. The Russians recently staged
bombardment that would make any
thing of the sort in our Civil War
seem like a rather languid Fourth of
July celebration.
And both the Tokyo and Moscow
papers solemnly declare that if this
disturbance keeps up, there will be
war!

Yankees, with the result that two
runners trickled across the plate
and, instead of Dizzy Dean going
into the eighth lining leading, 3
to 0, he was leading, 3 to 2. In
the third game, Carl Reynolds and
Gabby Hartnett famed with the
bases full in the same inning.
Yesterday, JurgeS had an easy
play and he threw the ball away,
with the result that the Yankees
scored three runs afterwards in
the same inning.
In other words, the Yanks didn't
even have to win the series. The
Cubs gave it to them. The
Yankees hit home runs as usual.
They played heads-up ball. They,
in fact, looked like championship
team from the outset. The Cubs,
in contrast, were eVerlaStingly just
another ball club and not a very
good one.
All in all, this series admittedly
was all Yankees from the start.
Without any attempt to make
them look worse than they really
are, can only say that the Cubs
in this series were the worst, most
inept, most wire-haired and, alto
gether silliest, baseball team that
I ever saw.
Extensively, the Cubs, with their
nine tallies for the entire series,
averaged two and one-quarter runs
per game. Definitely they actually
shouldn't have been in the same
park with the Yankees.
The Yankees averaged five and
one-half runs a game, which really
doesn't tell the story. This frankly
was something pitiful to watch.
It seemed that the Yankees were
shadow boxing throughout, until
it came time to win, at which
point they simply belted the ball
out of the park or took advantage
of the Cubs miSplays and went
ahead to what turned out to be
an easy victory.

about the World Series. He said
that was something that was In
the past-mucn as it hurt him. He
declared:
CLEAN SWEEP OF TEAM
"There1l be a clean sweep of
the hall club. That includes out
fielders, infieiders and pitchers.
am not satisfied with the team
if I have to manage the same
group next year."
Gabby continued:
I'll start at the top and there
will be no exceptions. I'm not
mentioning any n m IS, but
there1l be a different ball club
on the North Side"
The Gabber had taken some
time to absorb the beating by
the Yankees in four straight ball
sames. He said:
when I say that there will
be a clean sweep from top to
bottom I mean it. Winning the
National League pennant
doesn't mean anything unless
you can put a powerful club
against the Yankees or who
ever happens to win the Amer
ican pennant."
WILL CONFER WITH OWNER
Hartnett didn't indicate what
players mightE be included in the
general cleanup, but one wouldn't
have to stretch his neck to pick
out the men who are not likely to
be with the Cubs next season.
When he arrives in town he will
