NLRB CHAIRMAN
OPPOSES LABOR
AMENDMENTS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-J. War
rem Madden, chairman of the NLRB,
testified before the Senate Labor
Committee for three days on proposed
amendments to the National Labor
Relations Act. Generally speaking,
he opposed all the amendments Of
fered, but in very different ways and
degrees.
The amendments offered by Senator
Burker he declared "class legislation
of the most intolerable kind OBJ
viously intended to emasculate the act
and to take away the liberties which
the act confers." They are in sub
stance the amendments demanded by
the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
The amendments offered by Senator
Walsh, which were drawn up by the
American Federation of Labor, Mad
den did like, but he explained them
by "the irritations which have arisen
from the unhappy division in the labor
movement" He denied that the
NLRB had shown favoritism to the
G. /. O. and against the A. F. of L.
There were IA cases in which the two
organizations were opposed to each
other, he stated In 35, the decision
was for the A. F. of l.; in 80 for the
C. I. o.; and in the other cases each
side was upheld in part or final deci-
sion was unnecessary.
Madden said he believed a nation
wide poll of employers would disclose
"strong preference" for the A. F.
of L.
| He told Senator Holt that it was an
unfair labor practices" in violation
of the Wagner Act for an employer
to tell his workers that they should
join the A. F. of L.
can employer has no right to put
his men in an organization which he
chooses even though he might make a
wiser choice than his workers." Mad
den said.
Discussing NLRB invalidation of
''collusive contracts" between unions
and employers, Madden said the board
has invalidated Is A. F. of L. con-
tracts and one c. l. O. agreement.
He said employers prefer to deal
with the A. F. of L. rather than the
c. /. o., but would express no opinion
why this was true.

"That doesn't make for good and
satisfactory conditions. 1t means
crime, disease and everything else.
You may not think about that at the
time that you are trying to have
someone work for less than usual for
you, but that is exactly what happens.
"In this country we live, as a rule,
under very fair and very decent con-
ditions. Most of us are happy to be

else in the world. After all, it is a
privilege to be in this country, doing
business here, but that right only ex-
lists as long as you are good citizen
and abide by and conform to these
laws.
"You will have to abide by these
laws. If you want to get ahead in
competition with the rest of the people
in the same business, you will have
to do it by other means. Use your
ingenuity in the proper channels, not
by violation of the laws.
". s. Your ability to take advan-
tage of them (workers) has come too
easy, but you will find that from now
on you will have a much more difficult
row to hoe. You might as well decide
that you intend to do business in the
proper manner" Judge Schlafman

Columbus, O.-By vote of % to 6,
with five Senators not voting, the
Ohio Senate last week approved
measure sponsored by Senator Robert
H. Hoffman, Columbus, containing a
number of industrial exemptions to
the eight -hour-day law for women and
minors, some of which labor will en-
deavor to have eliminated by the
House of Representatives
The measure, identified as Substi-
tute Bill No. 1T, had not been re-
ferred to standing committee of the
House as the General Assembly ad-
journed last week, but it will probably
be sent to the House Labor Committee
for consideration this week.
When the bill was before the SEN
ate Commerce and Labor Committee
for hearings, SO many employer asso-
citation representatives appeared and
clamored for exemptions for their par
ticular industry that substitute bill
was drafted.
Representative of labor and other
social-conScious groups unsuccessfully
opposed many of the exemptions when
the bill was before the Senate COM
mittee.
Hotels and restaurants, left behind
in the grand rush for exemptions in
| the Senate committee hearings, caught
up with the parade on the floor of the
| Senate, where an amendment was
adopted exempting female workers ir
those two industries in cities of less
than 100000 population from the
eight -hour-day limitation.
Exemptions and other reductions II
limitations to the eight-hour day, 48
hour-week law, contained in Substi
tute Senate Bill 1T as approved by
the Senate, include:
! Female office workers in manufac
| turing establishments: Eight-hour day
eliminated, 48-hour week retained.
Laundry and dry cleaning industry
Permits 50-hour weeks preceding
seven recognized holidays.
Bakeries: Permits one 10-hour day
and nine hours on other days, but mo-
to exceed 45 hours per week.
Resort hotels and restaurants: Per.
mits more than eight hours per day
on Sundays during June, July, August
and September for females over 81
years of age.
Canneries: Removes all restrictions
as to hours of labor of women ane
minors during canning season.
Permits: Nine-hour day and so
hour week for eight-week period il
one year on approved application o.
employers in manufacturing, laundry
and dry cleaning industries.
Exempts: From provisions of eight
hour day women employed by dealer

Dayton, O.-Compliance with the
Ohio minimum wage law for women
and minors by employers was cited
as an evidence of good citizenship by
Municipal Judge Merritt E. Schlaf-
man, Dayton, in decision April Ia
in which he sternly rebuked woman
employer who appeared before him
for sentence after being convicted of
violating the minimum wage provi-
sions governing the dry cleaning in
dustry.
The defendant, Mrs. Marie Anna
rose, Columbus, operator of chain
of dry cleaning establishments in sew

Judge Schlafman. Mrs. Amarose has
a number of complaints of violations
pending against her in the minimum
wage division of the Ohio Department
of Industrial Relations, Superintend-
ent James p. Walsh, Jr., said last
week.
Before pronouncing sentence on
Mrs. Amarose, Judge Schlafman told
the defendant that she, as woman,
more than anyone else should appre-
cate the reason for minimum wage
law.
"These laws are made in order that
women may be economically independ-
ent," Judge Schlafman said. "If they
are underpaid, it probably means they
are undernourished or they have to

in Her Home Which Resulted in

Mrs. Lucretia Bateman, 81, a

suit Of injuries received when she

Andrew A. Brown of that city.
In 1882 she was married to Bateman
at Lincoln. Neb and shortly after the
family started for Montana to make
their home. They went by railway as
far as Utah and then took the stage
coach to Martinsdale where Bateman
was employed.
They resided for short periods at Hell

STATE HOG PRODUCTION
DUE FOR AN INCREASE

Hog production in Montana is due
for an increase. the bureau of agri-
cultural economics predicted.
Good feed crops in 1898 are respon-
sible for starting Montana on the
comeback trail" in pork production,
Jay G. Diamond, senior statistician for
the bureau Of agricultural economics,
said.
He reported that a 81 percent in
crease in hogs in this state in the past
year probably marks the beginning of
a return to production more in line
with that of the pre-drouth years in
Montana when the 1928-1932 average
was about 389 900 head"
The states hog population in 1898
stood at 165, 600, the report showed, or
an increase Of q percent over the
1887 total Of 10000.
Favorable feed crop production in
1888 will result in increased borrowings
for the spring of about 46 percent,
based on the indications of reports
received from farmers who expect to
farrow 10000 sows next spring. In 1898
only $4,000 sows were farrowed and in
1887 the narrowing total was only
II 900 head.

piles Of COW chips gathered from the
plains to be used as fuel. Fresh meat
was at a premium, for the long trip to
town was expensive, and, in summer
meat spoiled before they reached home.
A few raised chickens, when they
had wheat to feed them. But often it
required clever figuring to keep seed
wheat over for next falls sowing.
Then Hard Times
Bankers began to hem and haw when
lanky, overall-clad homesteaders ap-
preached them about renewing notes.
Nor were grocerymen quite so jovially
ready to extend credit. Montana home
steaders have suffered loneliness, an
Xiety, despair and hunger.
A few have fought on, squeezing a
meager living from tickle land that
once promised them a fortune. Most
who, Is years ago, brought enthusiasm
and high hopes and youth to Montana,
have abandoned or lost their farms.
Abandoned fields, where rich grass
once fattened cattle and sheep, now
grown to tumble weeds and thistles,
are being reseeded under a govern
ment rehabilitation program. Years
will heal the scars, grow sod over
plowed range and revert 1t again to
cattle country. In the meantime Mon
tana has added still another epoch to
her colorful history, the Inflated epoch
Of the homesteader.
