CHEVROLET TO
FOCUS INTEREST
COMMERCIALLY

AS the worlds largest producer not
only of passenger cars but OF trucks
Chevrolet is taking the initiative this
month in a move designed to focus in
terest of commercial vehicle users on
their transportation needs. The pro-
gram will take the form of National
Truck Week, Jan. IA to Jan. Il, plans
for which are being completed now by
W. E. Fish, commercial car and truck
sales manager of Chevrolet.
The company's entire organization,
wholesale and retail, will be enlisted
IN the campaign, Mr.. Fish said. De-
tails of the operation were worked out
IN Detroit December 20, at a meeting
of regional truck managers, represent
ing the wholesale organization from
coast to coast. These men carried
hack to the field the outline OF the
various promotional activities and
material which will be distributed TO
AN Chevrolet dealers and statesmen.
Thirty thousand special messages
will go out to fleet users from coast
tn coast in advance of the event, in
viting them to view the special truck
displays which dealers are setting up
IN their dealerships in scores OF citles
across the country. In many instances
manufacturers of equipment are CO.
ouerating in the program, exhibiting
.pecialized equipment like that which
made Chevrolet's big space at the Ma
tional Truck Show in New York one
NJ the main interest centers in that
exposition.
"The thought behind National Truck
Week." said Mr.. Fish, "is to lend fur-
ther impetus to the movement, already
under way, for concerted business
revival in 1889. At the very start OF
the year, when budgets are Delng
worked out, we are calling truck u.s.
ers' attention to their transportation
needs. We are going about it syste-
matically to prove that in great

During a period of depression
truck operators, like passenger car
owners, naturally tended to neglect
the matter of requirements. Trucks
that would in normal times have CIV

continued in service, frequently with
out adequate maintenance work. Inc
result is that a very extensive re-
placement market now exists at the
very time when most indications
point to a general business up-turn.

plying with the National Labor Poll
cy in respect to collective bargaining
Although some revisions were
made in the constitution of the or
CARNATIONS in 1897 after an investi-
cation by the Civil Liberties Com
mittee, for the purpose of keeping
it within the letter of the law, it is
clear that no major policy has been
changed, and that neither its spy
service, its professional scab service,
nor its strike breaking service was
abandoned.
Despite the fact that the govern
ment has adopted a National Labor
Policy, fostering collective bargain
ing, thirty-two out of sixty-nine
members Of the National Metal
Trades Association who made extern
sive use of the spy service between
1888 and 1886 were awarded gov
eminent contracts amounting to
more than twelve million dollars.
This exposes a startling situation
in which beneficiaries of government
contracts are using their powerful
position to violate and undermine
the spirit of the National Labor Poll
cy, and places the government in the
anomalous position of encouraging
the violation Of its own laws.

Peace in the Labor Movement

It is an amazing fact that some otherwise
level-headed leaders in the American Labor
Movement seem to ignore the lessons of
history, with regard to the destructive effects
Of internal conflict among nations, political
parties, churches, business, families and all
other institutions. They pretend to believe
that the labor movement is free from the
memorable laws which affect every other
form of life-or else they are simply engaged
in a game Of poker. If SO, it's too great a
gamble.
There is one other possibility-namely,
they are sure that the principles for which
they stand are so right and fair, that they
are willing to go down fighting. Ordinarily,
this is high motive which should be encour-
aged and commended. But if such action
results in pulling down the entire structure,
destroying what has been built up at great
sacrifice by others, equally sincere, but who
may not be in entire agreement with these
champions of a Cause then it would appear
that there should be compromise which will
save the entire labor movement.
A leading statesman jokingly said some
time ago that if a President of the United
States were to form a Cabinet composed
exclusively Of labor leaders, they would all
want to be Secretary Of War. This was not
to the discredit of the men who stand at the
front of the labor movement, because, obvi-
ously, they are engaged in a great fight. But
there are times when the labor movement
needs great statesmen as well as great gen
erals. And this is one Of those times.
The leaders who are charged with the task
of bringing peace within the American Labor
Movement have repeatedly ended equally
bitter controversies with employers. But
they rarely obtained all that they fought for,
because labor conflicts are never Settled
they are compromised. 1t is a question
whether they can now demonstrate their
ability to restore peace in their own ranks.
But peace within the labor movement is
not a thing that can be obtained mechanically
like digging for gold. It will not be Sc
cured merely through the adoption Of resolu-
tions-for these may be capable of various
interpretations. Peace will now come only
through the exercise of friendship and for
%giveness, |self-control and tolerance, goodwill
and courage. And these are the elements
which have hitherto built up the labor move
ment in this country.-Labor Exchange.
Montana labor news., 1939-04-27

The employer is urged not to settle
any dispute through negotiations
with unions, but to break strikes ard
destroy the unions. The N. M. T. A.
is organized to perform this function
in the most scientific, if not the most
ethical or legal manner.
It's methods are the lockout, the
black list, and organized violence;
its weapons, the labor spy, the pro-
fessional scab, and the armed thug.
The N. M. T. A. a~dvertises that it
will replace 10 per cent of a labor
force out on strike, and to make
good this boast it maintains a file
of thousands of professional scabs.
In addition armed thugs, many of
whom have police records, and most
of whom are professional strike
breakers, are recruited in the guise
of guards.
The N. M. T. A. industrial rela-
tons policy makes impossible the
peaceful settlement of any labor
dispute. Its spies, planted in the
union and the shop, put the finger
on employees who give the least
sign that they will fight in defense
of their rights. These workers are
then discharged by their employer
and blacklisted by all N. M. T. A.
shops.
If a strike results, the professional
scabs r brought in to take the
place of the workers under the pro-
lection Of the armed guards. The
spies and guards lose no opportunity
to stir up violence and frame the
leaders of the workers in order to
discredit the strikers in the eyes of
the community and to intimidate
the employees.
Employers, whose workers engage
in a strike are prevented by the
rules of the N. M. T. A.. from enter
ing into negotiations with the strikers
under penalty of expulsion and a
large money forfeit.
The N. M. T. A. actively opposed
the enactment of Legislation to pro-
tect the rights of workers to organ
ize and bargain collectively and
after the passage of this legislation,
openly urged employers to violate
the provisions of the laws, going to
the extent of bringing economic
pressure on business men who x
pressed themselves in favor of COM

Tax Exempt Bonds Next

President Roosevelt told a press conference
that the action of the Supreme Court in
wiping out tax exemptions on Federal sal
aries probably would cost him $4,000 a year
in income taxes in New York; but he ap-
proved it, just the same. And he wanted
Congress to go ahead and make provisions
for taxing income from bond issues.
There is no possible doubt that the Presi-
dent is right. Privileges of this kind are sure
to be taken out Of the hides of those who are
not privileged. 1t may be necessary to call
in ~tax-exempt bonds and replace them with
other bonds bearing somewhat larger interest
but it would a

AMERICAS SECRET
POLICE SYSTEM ON A
PAR With GERMANY

E. c. Dawson, general secretary
treasurer, International Association
of Machinists, who has taken rather
a prominent part in the exposing Of
labor spies and the actions of under
cover agencies in industry of the
United States, stated today that the
American public which is Mortified
by the Gay Pay U, the Russian Sc
cret Police, and the Gestapo, the
Nazi Secret Police, will consider it
unbelievable that an organization of
the same character has been func-
tioning in American industry for
almost forty years under the re-
spectacle masquerade of an employ
ers association. Yet, this is the
amazing and sordid fact exposed by
the report Of the Senate Civil Liber-
ties Committee on the National
Metal Trades Association.
The spy service, which is part Of
the N. M. T. A., differs from the
Communist and Nazi spy systems in
that it is subservient not to a politi-
cal party but to an industrial COM
bination. Its victims are not political
enemies of the Dictator, but humble
American workers who dare to
exercise their rights as American
citizens to organize into unions and
attempt to bargain collectively for
the purpose of improving their con-
ditions.
952 industrial plants in the metal
industries, including many of the
most important employers in this
branch of industry, were members
of the National Metal Trades Asso-
citation in 1887. The Association
operates through sixteen district
organizations and twenty = seven
branches serving every industrial
locality in the United States.
For four decades this organization
has been one of the most persistent
enemies of collective bargaining in
the country, advocating that en-
ployees should have no say in the
determination of wages, hours Of
labor or working conditions.

UNEMPLOYMENT CENSUSES
IN ENGLAND

The number of unemployed in the United
Safes is determined by estimates which vary
according to the basis used by estimators.
With this in mind it is instructive to note the
method used in Great Britain where the I'M
employment insurance law covers a larger
number of occupations than are included in
the unemployment compensation provisions
of our Social Security Act.
In Britain the insured iobless are required
to register at the employment exchanges,
where each worker is given an unemploy-
ment book. At the beginning Of each insur-
ance year these unemployment books must
be lodged at the employment exchanges,
where they are used as the basis for an UNI
employment census.
There were altogether 1892, 800 work.
ers Jagged IA to ga insured against unem-
ployment in the latest insurance year, in
Guiding those in the special schemes, and also
the 221,270 brought within the scheme in
April, 1888. Leaving these latter out of the
count, the comparable figures for this year
and last are 14,771, 230 for 1898 against
14,611, 900 in 1867; roughly an increase of
IL per cent on the total.
Of this years total of 1892, 800, those ac-
tually in employment in midi October num-
bered approximately 12,294,OOO. This is the
estimated total after deducting the register
ed applicants for employment and making
the customary allowance for workers absent
from employment through sickness and other
unrecorded forms Of unemployment. The
total at work is less by 100000 than a year
ago.
The number Of voorhees, persons on the
registers of the employment exchanges in
mid-October was 1871, 227. This is 390,978
more than a year ago. Including the I'M
employed in Northern Ireland the acutal
number of registered applicants for work in
mid-October was 1,88O,57 as compared with
1850, 080 on the corresponding date last year,
an increase Of practically 100000 in the y
months.

sociations would definitely be held
In August and that the federation's
special cruise to South America
would 60 on as scheduled.
DR.. Monroe pointed out that while
there were several changes in the
general plans for the conference, the
program for cultural studies and
visits and special entertainment for
professional guests would be carried
out as originally planned.
He pointed out further that the
Brazilian authorities, proud of their
cultural heritage and particularly
interested in welcoming this large
group of cultural students, have
asked that the conference visitors
while In Rio confine themselves to
study of the fine and liberal arts
and the pleasures afforded in their
country. Every possible opportunity
for the goodwill visitors to appre-
ciate the beauty and cultural adj
vantages of Brazil is promised.
1t Is expected that several thou
sand educa tors will meet in Rio at
this time. Special arrangements for
these goodwill visitors have also
been made in Montevideo, Buenos
Aires, Caracas and number of
other interesting ports of call
Discussions and special confer
ences will also be held on the fed
eration's cruise ship Rotterdam.
