Permanent Sfuff
of BUG Selected
BY Civil Service
EightY-Seven Per Cent Now
Under Classified
Service
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-Replying to critical
charges that the civil service eligibil-
ity list was being ignored in stating
the Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation with permanent appointees,
Administrator H. C. Atkinson last
week declared that eighty-seven per
cent, or 1929 of 1900 BUG employees
are under classified service.
Civil service appointees will repre-
sent ninety-five percent or better Of
the BUG personnel by July 1, Admin
istrator Atkinson said, in line with the
established policy of the Federal So
cial Security Board, which requires
one hundred per cent civil service
stats.
Only thirteen per cent, or 237, are
temporary appointees at present, the
Administrator said. The classified
personnel of the Bureau has been in
creased from forty-four per cent as
of March 1, 1889, to eighty-seven per
cent June l.
"The Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation is young state depart
ment. The former Commission, two
years ago, faced an enormous respon-
sibility in setting up this organiza-
tion.
"Within short period Of time, some
two thousand people were on the pay
roll and Of these, there were far more
temporary appointees than til {
taken from the civil service lists.
"The Bureau Of Unemployment
Compensation operates headquarters
in Columbus, and sixty local and fifty.
eight itinerant offices. Approximate.
ly eight hundred people are employed
in the Columbus Central office anG
about one thousand others are on duty
in various places throughout the
state.
at has been my practice to con
form to the full spirit and letter OF
the law. 1t is my publicly avowed in
tention to not deviate from those prin
ciples," Administrator Atkinson said.

Lobor Again Wins
Right To Picket
Non-Union Firm
(By Ohio Labor News Scrvice)

Cleveland, O.-Right of a labor
union to picket non-union concern
was reaffrmed by three Judge court
here last week, in a decision modify
ing an injunction issued by the Guy
ahoga County Common Pleas Court
against the Hotel and Restaurant En-
ployes' Union.
An appeal to the Ohio Supreme
Court seeking to upset the modified
order Of Judges Francis M. Hamilton,
Simon Ross and Stanley Matthews, of
the First District (Cincinnati) Court
of Appeals, sitting by designation in
the Eighth (Cleveland) District, was
made by Attorney Harry G.. Smoyer.
Plaintiff in the case is Pearl E.
Crosby, owner of a restaurant bearing
her name located at Euclid avenue
and East Tooth street, Cleveland. ~
Defendants are Frank G. RathA
president of the Union, and it's men,
bers, whose attorneys are State Rep
resentative Martin E. Blum and Leon
ard J. Stern.
The Union began picketing the
Crosby restaurant in October, 1887,
when it was refused recognition. The
Common Pleas Court issued strong
injunction against the Union in Janu-
ary, 1888, restraining members from
any picketing activities.
In the decision modifying the in
junction, handed down May 25, the
three judges held that the Union was
entitled to two pickets at the main
entrance of the restaurant and one at
driveway entrance, "for the purpose
of informing the public that Crosby's
do not employ Union help"
The order restrains the Union from
"coercing" employees of the restaurant,
and from interfering with the free
entrance and exit of guests"
Attorneys for the plaintiff contend
ed in the original injunction suit and
in their appeal to the Supreme Court
that the Union should not be allowed
to picket the restaurant inasmuch as
no employees of the restaurant were
members of the Union. -
The modified order handed down
last week followed precedents estab-
lished in similar cases, Representative
Blum said. /

Arms Race Brings
Starvation Peril
Reurmdment Absorbs Too
Much of Ndtiondl Income
Says no Director

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).John
G. Winant, former governor of New
Hampshire, chairman Of the Federal
board which investigated the textile
strike, and now the first American d.
rector of the International Labor Of
flee at Geneva, has made striking
report to the coming conference at
that city. In part he says:
"War not only affords no solution
to the human wants with which peo-
pie are confronted, but it is the very
negation of everything they seek. The
existing condition of near war, though
not so terrible in immediate destruc-
tion, produces results which are SIM
liar in a slower but no less certain
way.
"Rearmament cannot continue at the
present rate of acceleration without
eventually absorbing SO much of the
national income of many countries as
will prove intolerable. A point may
come when defense expenditures will
cause actual starvation in the lower
income groups.
Wastage Live War
"The present state of armed peace
means the speeding up Of production
concentration of productive energies
on non-productive activities, the diver.
sion Of groups of people to military
service, the decrease of the supply Of
labor relative to the demand, the in
f1ationary effects, and inevitable ten
dency toward rise in the cost of liv
ing and the hardships which that nee
essarily entails on the masses of thu
population.
GAS these manifestations are pro
longed, they become aggravated, ant
the wastage they involve is not yer!
different from that of war itself"
He outlines these consequences
longer hours of work, lower standards
of safety, neglect of protection for la
boris rights, wages tagging behind th'
rise in prices. And then he turns to ;
comparison between the sums whicl
the world spends on war and on or
ganizations, like the lilo, intended t.
help peace.

Just WONDERING
How MdnY Give Thought to
The Founders Of the
Brotherhood?

At this time of the year when we
pause for commernoration to our war
dead and in a short time to celebrate
the independence of this great nation
Of ours, wonder how many truly stop
and think Of the significances of these
two days.
On Memorial Day we seldom give
thought to the past generations OF
warriors who fought our battles Of la
Dor independence, nor to those brave
souls who braved the forts of capital
ism to give each of us the right to
collective bargaining and fair wages.
We owe an allegiance to those fore
bearers Of ours who raised the stand
ard for us and we should willingly put
our shoulder to the wheel that their
efforts should not be in vain.
The foundation stones of the N. B.
of O. P of ours was not laid with the
bricks of self desire nor was the NOR
tar made tight with the cement of
selfshness; and we should remember
our obligations today are as great as
were those of the founders of this or
ganization.
If each of us would attend our
meetings faithfully, listen carefully to
discussions and ask questions sincere
| ly, the greatest step toward unity
would be accomplished. Fellow MEM
bers, when that often absent brother
or sister brings their difficulty to the
floor of the meeting, try to help them
and to thrash their problems out for
them. Remember, your knowledge Of
law and order is probably more extern
sive than theirs and you gained your
education through the patience and
earnest wish of some other member
who took time to teach you. None of
US have so much intelligence that it
is impossible to learn more.
We have gained the recognition of
the world, as having the greatest col
lective bargaining system in existence.
The heights, my friends, was not ac-
complished in day, but by years of
earnest effort on the part of our found
ers who gave a thought to the future.
A lot Of the things we now enjoy came
from the ideas those men and women
had years ago, but which they never
got to see accomplished. Shall we
young members overlook these sacri-
fees made for our benefit?
The extent Of ''Union Made Pottery:
advertising will be worldwide because
of the greatest of all memorials to be
given to past efforts of our founders,
the miniature pottery erected at the
Worlds Fair. Imagine the satisfaction
to know manufacturer and labor stand
side by side boosting the sale of
"Union" products.
| AS parting thought remember the
rule, small but true. It's the Golden
Rule and if we help brother or sis
ter on the way we have soldered an
other link in that chain of unionism
We should all read, "Real People,

Fair Brings Only Few
INDECENT To New York

New York, N. Y. (AFLWNS).-
Welfare Commissioner William Hod-
son reported that the fear that the
Worlds Fair would attract large num-
bers of penniless amusement seekers
from all parts of the nation were
proven groundless by the almost COM
plete absence of stranded visitors dur
ing the first four weeks of the Fair.
Only a handful of INDECENT out-of
towners, all young persons, had asked
the city for help since the exposition
began, he said. The Welfare Depart
ment sent all applicants for relief
back to their homes.
