Mr.. Green emphasized the fact that
the latest reliable statistics reveal
more than 100000 persons in the
unemployed army, and that any re-
duction in the $S75, 100000 asked by
President Roosevelt will mean a low

Bargaining Unit Provision of Labor
Act Malddministration by Labor Board

The definite purpose of the National
Labor Relations Board to thwart "the
intent of Congress in determining
what shall constitute an appropriate
unit for the purpose of collective bar
gaining" under the National Labor
Relations Act was fully and documen-
tarily set forth by the Executive Coun-
Gil Of the American Federation Of La
Dor in its report to the Federation's
1888 convention.
The Labor Relations Act confers
upon the Labor Board authority to
decide what shall constitute the ap-
propriate unit for collective bargain
ing, subject to the general policy un-
derlying the Labor Act, which was de-
scribed by Senator Robert F. Wagne,
+ in this pregnant language when the
bill was before the U. S. Senate in
1895:
"Anyone familiar with these laws
will recognize at once that there is
nothing IN the pending bill which
places the stamp Of governmental ia.
vor upon any particular type OF
union"

Board, despite the policy so tersely
and clearly enunciated by Senator
Wagner, to manufacture a tortured

Grafton Pleased To
Learn Local Leads
Locdl SO Members Generous
In Contributing Dimes
For President

Grafton, w. Va.-It certainly must
be gratifying to the members of Local
Union No. 80 to know that this local
is leading in contributions to the in.
fantile paralysis fund, Labor's Silver
Salute, as reported in the last issue of
the Potters Herald. At least we are
ahead to date.
The writer firmly believes that our
contributions could have easily reach
ed the fifty-dollar mark had the drive
not confiicted with a collection being
taken for the benefit of sick member
which amounted to eighty-fve dollars.
In view of this, l believe, everyone will
agree our members proved themselves
to be extremely generous. The local
wishes to extend thanks to all those
who contributed in any way, and
especially to those members who as
sisted in the collections for the two
drives: Helen Reed, Howard Walters,
Martha Trimble, Katherine Lucas and
Lesta Erwin.
Following the lead of Local Union
No. 35, we have also contacted our
Representatives to express the views
and sentiments of our members rel
ative to the reciprocal trade treaties
and an excise tax on imports in order
that our jobs will be more secure.
We would also like to applaud the
action of Local Union No. 70 in
Minerva for turning down the ship
ment Of foreign-made novelties. May
we urge all our members to continue
to purchase merchandise manufactured
in this country and by union labor
whenever that is possible.

mental Com m ittee to Coordinate
Health and Welfare Activities, which
he appointed in 1885 to survey the
health needs of the lower-income
groups in the United States.
Pointing out that ION the average
day Of the year about 100000 per-
sons are disabled by sickness, and that
about half of these persons are perma-
nently disabled" the committee report
summarized the need of a national

Compulsory health insurance.
Medical care of the INDECENT.
Establishment of new hospitals
where needed or the subsidization of
existing hospitals.
A national plan for maternal and
child welfare.

treatment centerS.
In urging careful consideration by

Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"The objective of national health

parts Of our country and for all groups
of our people the scientific knowledge
and skill at our command to prevent
and care for sickness and disability;
to safeguard mothers, infants and chill
