West has been approved.
This project, as written, calls
for the assignment of 40 male
youths for period of IL months,
and the classes of activity en-
braces all forms of woodwork and
cabinet making, metal work and
the repair of automobiles. Those
who are assigned to this work
will receive training through ac-
tual experience which will fit
them to enter private industry.
Another of the projects, this
one a recreational project, has
been approved. This provides for
the assignment of 10 youths, who
will assist in the recreational ac-
iivities Of the city under compel
ent supervisors. Youths who are
engaged in this work may be fit
ted to become recreational lead
ers.
The projeUE, which provides
for the maintenance and upkeep
OF the city aquarium, has also
been approved. To this project
will be assigned IL youths. Work
ers on this project will receive
training in class of work which
is peculiar to Key West. Through
their daily work they will be-
come familiar with all forms of
sea life, their care and preserva-
ton and habits, and will also ac-
quire work habits fitting them to
enter other classes of industry.
The local office of the NYA is
daily visited by large number
of youths who are anxious to be-
gin, work, during the present sea-
son when private work is not
available in Key West, and these
youths realize that in addition to
the financial benefits they will
be greatly aided by the work ex-
perience, which will assist them
in accepting work of practically
any nature when the tourist sea-
son arrives.
State Administrators Joe A.
Youngblood has advised Area SUI
pervisor Lowe that other projects
for thia area will be approved as
soon as possible.

Congress Must Undo This Wrong

In all the demonstrations against the slash
ing Of the prevailing wage rate on WPA jobs,
it should not be forgotten that there are
other provisions Of the bill passed by Con-
gress that are fully as pernicious and affect
far more people.
These are the laying off Of one million WPA
workers which is decreed for the coming
year; the reduction Of the monthly security
wages; and the provision for a starvation
layoff for any WPA worker On the rolls Is
months or more.
The CLIO fought the whole of this hunger
and misery program at every stage of its
passage through Congress-while national
AFL leaders were asleep at the switch or
even condoned it.
Now that labor and the unemployed every
where are beginning to feel the full impact
Of the crime which Congress has committed
against them, the. CLIO calls for every effort
to be concentrated on impressing Congress
with the necessity Of undoing the wrong that
has been done.
Senator Murray and 81 other senators have
sponsored an amendment, S-2765, now be-
fore the Senate, not only to restore the pre-
vailing wage rate for skilled workers, but
also to prevent reduction of the monthly
security wages for all WPA workers.
The CLIO supports this amendment 100 per
cent. It calls not only on labor, but on all
men and women Of good will and humane
instincts, to urge on their representatives in
Congress the immediate passage of S-2765.

Workers Living Standards Menaced BY
ArmamentS and War Threats

The sinister influence of ornaments, ma
tional economic self-suficiency, and the
menace of war upon economic and social con-
ditions are included among the outstanding
features of the past year by the International
Labor Office in its Year Book, published at
Geneva, Switzerland.
On the first place" the Year Book declares,
ornaments, autarky and the resultant bust
ness uncertainty tend to impoverish every
community affected. The better-of sections
will feel it eventually in increased taxation,
the poorer sections in a decline in the stand
ard of living.
"In the second place, as already noted, the
huge diversion Of demand to ornaments is
resulting in a massive distortion of the whole
economic fabric.
"In the third place, in a world made smaller
by modern means Of transport, communica-
ton and aggression, if one country adopts
methods which carry within them the men
ace Of war, every other country is liable
sooner or later to be affected.
FINALLY, unless a modicum of social justice
is achieved as between country and country
as well as between man and man, recourse
to such methods may become practically in
evitable.
These, perhaps, are long-term rather than
short-term considerations, but none the less
opposite to any understanding Of the present
time"

UNIONS PLAN COOP
HOSPITAL In BUTTE

The joint union committee on
disqualification and medical care,
which is meeting every Tuesday
night in the engineers office of Car
p%enters hall, has nearly finished the
necessary work preliminary to in
corporation of a cooperative health
association.
A constitution subcommittee, con-
sisting of Norman LeFever, S. E.
Keyser, Thomas W. Cox, and Richard
Lake, have drafted a constitution.
The work of revising and adopting
the articles of this constitution is
about half completed. When this
process is completed, the association
will be Incorporated under Montana
law under the name 'The Union Co
operative Health Association, Inc"
A board of eleven directors, includ-
ing president, vice president, secre-
tary, and treasurer, will be chosen.
Organized along the general lines
of consumers cooperatives according
to Rochdale principles, the %associa-
ton will at first attempt only to pro-
vide a general medical practitioner
service to families and individuals.
Tentative Investigations indicate that
it may be possible to provide such
service for SO a month per family.
Later it is planned to extend the
service to include dental and surgical
care. A long-range plan is being
worked out for accumulation of
funds with which to build a hospital.

A CreditabIe Achievement in Union
Agreements

The report by F. D.. Laudermann, general
vice president of the international Associa-
ton of Machinists, that during the six weeks
period ending with the middle of July the
association fnalized new and renewed agree
ments covering SIG employers is a practical
illustration of the benefits which workers
secure through bona fde trade unions affili-
ated with the American Federation of Labor.
A significant feature Of the agreements is
the number of employers covered in certain
cities. In Eureka, California, agreements
were renewed with u motor car dealers and
As independent shops. In Stockton, Cali
fornia, SIS firms represented by the Stockton
Automotive Association are covered by agree
ments. In Peoria, Illinois, 9 machine shops
and five automotive contract shops work
under the associations agreement. In New
Orleans. Louisiana, Is machine shops signed
the union agreement. In Astoria, Oregon,
Is automobile dealers and repair shops are
covered by agreements. In Long View and
Kelso, Wash, the union agreement was signed
by 80 automobile dealers and repair shops,
and in Seattle, Wash, the union shop agree
ment with the Automotive Maintenance As
ISOLATION includes rs individual shops.
Outstanding wage increases feature a large
number of the agreements, and in all the rest
present rates of pay are protected. In addi-
ton, vacations with pay, protection of senior
iy and other union standards are the rule
rather than the exception.
Among the wage increases the following
are noted:
In Phoenix, Arizona, wage increases up
wards to 81 cents were granted to union en-
ployees of the Alabam Freight Lines. In
Fresno, California, the agreement with Weeks
Body and Fender Works carries a 20 cent
hourly wage increase. In San Francisco,
California, the agreements with the Pacific
Nipple Company and the Ray Oil Burner
Company carry 5 cent hourly wage increases,
and hourly wage increases Of upwards of Is
cents were secured in the agreements with
the California Press Manufacturing Com
pany, the Electric Novelty Company, the
Universal Steel Products Company, the
Bankers Utilities Company and the Universal
Molding Company.
Jumping from California to Mt. Vernon,
Illinois, the machinists agreement with the
j. P. Devine Manufacturing Company in
cludes hourly wage increases Of 5 cents. In
Muncie, Indiana, hourly wage increases up
wards to 20 cents are included in the agree
ment with the Beckett Bronze Company.
The agreement with Is machine shops in
New Orleans, La, includes hourly wage in
creases Of upwards to 5 cents. In Toledo,
Ohio, 10 cent hourly wage increases were

Manufacturers Huge
Profits (iied by FT(

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Huge
profits by automobile manufacturers
were cited here by the Federal
Trade Commission in a report on its
investigation of the motor vehicle
industry submitted to Congress
June s..
From 1927 to 1887, the report
stated, General Motors averaged 35.5
per cent profit, Chrysler, 1856 per
cent profit, and Ford, 3 per cent loss
due to depression years and recon-
struction of its factory in 1927 and
1928. From 1927 to 1888, Hudson
averaged 9.4 per cent profit, Nash,
1863 per cent profit, Packard, 21.2
per cent profit and ~Studebaker, 81
per cent profit.
During 34h years of operation,
the report said, the Ford company
manufactured nearly 27 million auto
mobiles, sold them for over $14
billion dollars and made an aggre-
gate profit of nearly 1919 million. In
20 years, General Motors made net
profits amounting to $3,013,031,048
before payment of income taxes.
Chrysler net profits in 10 years were
over $685. million before payment of
income taxes.
In addition, the ETC reported that
dealers are subject to coercion by
the car manufacturers, that greater
profits are made on the sale of parts
than on the sale of autos, and that
some finance companies were guilty
of Serious receptions"

Similar instances of wage increases gained
by the international Association of Machin-
lists for its members could be cited in many
other communities.

WASHINGTON.-The CLIO set the
wheels in motion recently for a big
campaign in the construction indus
try under the aegis of the newly
created United Construction Workers
Organizing Committee.
In making public the formation of
the newest CLIO affiliate, CLIO Pres.
John L. Lewis said that "there have
been thousands of requests from in
dividuals and groups of construction
workers throughout the country for
an organization which will bring
the benefits of collective bargaining
to all the workers, will eliminate
jurisdictional disputes and will i'm
prove their wages and working con-
ditions."
Aim of the United Construction
Workers Organizing Committee,
Pres. John L. Lewis said, will be
to organize all construction workers
into a powerful industrial union
which will abolish the many abuses
which have beset the industry in the
past.
To Bring Stability.
Special provisions will be made
by the committee for the elimination
of unauthorized strikes, jurisdictional
disputes and lockouts, and for the
peaceful adjudication of labor dis
putes," the statement said.
A system of transfer cards for
members, and provision for appren-
tice training to eliminate the need
of new workers learning the trade
on non-union jobs will be arranged
by the new organizing committee.

 E. w. Griffin came first to AL aska at the turn of the century, and in the 39 years he spent in the Territory experienced all the financial ups and downs that are the lot of progressive business men who gamble upon the stability of
