BUILDING INDUSTRY
STILL in EARLY AGE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
building industry is still in the horse
and buggy age, New York housing
expert told the federal monopoly COM
mittee, predicting that only through
scientific research will the day of low
cost housing on mass production
basis become fact.
Robert L. Dawson, director of hous-
ing research for the John B. Pierce
Foundation, said that the construction
industry, hampered by "outmoded and
illogical building codes" is unable to
reach the low income groups because
it has not made use of newly devel-
oped materials which could reduce
costs to Traction" of their present
size.
He advocated the creation of COM
mission to consist of experts of the
government, of industry, and univer-
sity research laboratories, to test, de-
velop, and publicize new methods and
new materials, and to secure the CO.
operation Of builders in making use
of them.

BOOMING UNION LABEL
PRODUCTS

Organized labor has found that OBJ
servance of union label weeks in
creases the demand for union label
goods and services. One of the latest
labor bodies to show the value Of
union label week was the Gibson
County Central Labor Union OF
Princeton, Indiana, which held sue
cessful week, during which the union
label was much in the public eye.
Full cooperation was given by
Princeton merchants who displayed
union label goods and posters and by
two local daily newspapers, which
gave space to union label week activ-
tiles and co-operated in issuing spe-
cial edition which was distributed to
every home in Gibson County with
out cost to the union label committee.
Union label weeks have been found
of value wherever tried. Results ex-
plain why they are gaining in pop
ularity throughout the nation.

Despite losses caused by Fascist
and Nazi conquests of democratic ma
tions and the consequent suppression
of their labor movements and by gen.
orally unfavorable economic and other
conditions, the International Fedora
ton of Trade Unions has made
marked progress in the last three
years.
This was plainly shown by re-
port submitted to the eighth congress
of the federation held recently at
Zurich, Switzerland. The report, CIV
ing a detailed account of the devel-
opment of the |. F. T. U. since the
London congress of 1886, reveals
that membership has risen over these
three years from thirteen to nearly
twenty million.
Losses have been experienced dur
ing this period through the disap-
pearance of Spain and Czechoslo-
vakia as active national organizations,
but the /. F. T. U. still has today a
membership which was only sur
passed in the early postwar years.
Following the affiliation of Norway
in January, 1886, and that of Mexico
at the London congress itself, the
United States rejoined in 1887 and
New Zealand came in in 1888.

FRIDAY, AUGUST A, 1889.
IN THIS DAY OF CHANGE

Magma Charta is a name of note
But it was granted by an English
King John to some Barons, and haC
to do, among other things, with the
control by the barons of the property
of their wards. And it was given by
the king in A. d. 1215-which was
724 years ago.
English conditions changed, and
there was the rebellion of Wat Tyler
in 1881. 1t was 100 years after that,
that the Portuguese started the AT
rican slave trade. Within 10 years,
America was discovered. Slavery
was introduced into the American col
onies in 1919. 1t took 246 years for
it to become war issue, and be
abolished.
Then came the industrial revolu-
ton, with the invention and use of
labor-saving machinery. And in 1925
trade unions were allowed in Eng
land. The first pony express was
started between Sacramento, Califor-
mia, and st. Joseph, Missouri, in
1860: and in exactly 18 months it
was superseded by the telegraph, in
October, 1861.
Invention of the cotton gin made
slavery profitable for a few in Amer
lea; laid the basis for peculiar phi
losophies and creeds; prepared the
way for secession; and pointed far
forward to the address of Abraham
Lincoln at Gettysburg.
Every great event changes the cur
rent of mems thinking; wipes out old
beliefs; modifies the meanings of
words; abolishes PHILOSOPHERS. Great
est wisdom of the founding fathers"
was their provision for the changes
which they foresaw to be certain,
though but dinly sensed at the time.
Traditions, basic principles, eternal
truths these are not terminals; they
are milestones.
1t is in the light of this record of
experience, this product of the his
tories of men, that the American la
Dor movement must find its way into
the future.
Magma Chartas are never the cap
stones of history. They are but parts
of the walls of human life.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

provides the backbone of the whole
international.
What is remarkable in the recent
development is that only about half
of the millions increase in members
is due to new affiliations, the other
half being due to the steady increase
in the membership of the European
national organization.
Leaving on one side the special po-
sition in France, where the movement
increased it's membership from about
100000 at the beginning of 1886 to
nearly five million by the middle of
1887 (since when the expected de.
cline has brought the figure down to
something under four million), Great
Britain and the Scandinavian coun-
tries have recorded a constant ex-
pansion.
The British Trades Union Congress
with its membership of almost five
millions, is the largest national body
in the l. F. 7. u today, and Denmark
Norway and Sweden together have
increased their membership from
about 100000 in 1886 to more thar
100000 (of which almost 100000 is
accounted for by Sweden).
The /. F.. T. US report emphasizes
that this steady development in tn,
European trade union movement pro
vides a good guarantee that the trad'
unions will be able to put up bette
resistance than was possible few
years ago, should decline in trad
or even a slump set in again.
The bulletin of the l. F. T. U. say
that the federation is seen to be ;
powerful world organization of tn
labor movement and its congress ha
every claim to be called the Worl
Parliament of Labor, commen
which seems justified by the gains re
ported to the Zurich meeting.

There has been always need for
more statesmen and fewer politicians.
That need jumps up to bite us
right now.
Meanwhile the propagandists of
dictatorship sew their seeds and do
their dirty work.
And the red propagandists, pre-
tending to play with the New Deal
and often doing so, through various
united fronts" false faces, make hay
while the politicians jockey for par
tisan advantage.
It's a pretty sorry mess.
Washington, Lincoln, WILSON, what
would they think of it all?
And Europe stews on keg of dy-
namite-if there is such thing as
stewing on dynamite.
Some think the blow-up will come
in two months-some think later-a
few hopefuls think not at all.
But the best bet is for war!

And our Congress almost issues an

A plague on both Houses, for their
dilatory, political attitudes.
Pork to take home is more impor-
tant than international safety.
A few real statesmen howl up the

the seething tide of politics and per-
sonal hates.
It's a spectacle-a lovely mess OF
a spectacle.
Reaction gets its chance out OF
such situations.
| Dictatorship gets it's chance out OF
the founderings of democracy.
Well, freedom isn't a toy to play
around with. Democracy isn't a page
out of a joke book.

GUILD CAN AVOID
SERIOUS TROUBLE
In PRESENT PLAN
BY Abandoning Plan For One Big
Union In Newspaper Industry
Tired OF Long Drawn Out Fight.
By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS).-To those persons
who are becoming tired of the fight
that the American Newspaper Guild
has been making on the printing
trades unions of the United States
and Canada, it can be said that it is
all up to the Guild itself.
The international convention of the
Guild starts at San Francisco July 80.
1t can then and there change it's laws
and policy to eliminate all claims of
jurisdictional rights in the mechan-
ical departments of American daily
newspapers. That will end the ar
gument.
1t is not anticipated, however, that
the A. n G. will abandon it's will-o'-
the-wisp "wobbly" dream of zone big
union" in the daily newspaper indus
try. The old Communist crowd has
got stranglehold on the A. N. G., and
history teaches that the Reds never
yield until all hope of profit has
vanished
Lewis Boosts Guild
John L. Lewis gave the Guild a
few words of praise when he made a
speech at the Chicago Coliseum a few
nights ago. Mr.. Lewis came to Chi
cago to encourage all of his followers
of the C. |. O. He took occasion to
throw out a ray of hope to the Guilds
men, just as he did when he gave
them $4,000 of coal miners money
some time ago.
However, it is noticeable that the
Chicago Communist daily press is not
as enthusiastic as it formerly was
in reference to the alleged strike Of
the % dues paying Guildsmen on the
Hearst press. 1t is not now running
feature stories daily boosting the
strike" Days go by when the
"strike" is not even mentioned
If the American Newspaper Guild
does not abandon it's mad design to
rule the production end of the Ameri-
can daily newspaper industry, it is
going to learn that it has gone up
against lot of Americans who really
know how to fight.
The printing trades unions can
crush the American Newspaper Guild
without calling a strike or breaking
a contract. All that these unions
need to do is to serve notice on the
publishers that they stand ready to
get out their newspapers, but that
they positively will not handle any
copy" produced by members of the
American Newspaper Guild. Under
such circumstances, Mr.. Guildsman
will have to "walk the plank"

About Jurisdictional
Disputes
(From the Journal of Electrical
WOrkers)

(FrOm the Journal of Electrical
Workers)
There was time not very long age
when jurisdictional disputes were
mainly caused by the unorderly intro
duction of new materials into indus
try. Without control or nationality
manufacturers produced new building
materials and threw these upon the
market regardless of their effect upon
manpower and building techniques
AS a result, for self preservation
workers were forced to protest this
unplanned dumping, and the resultant
situation was usually covered by the
phrase "jurisdictional dispute"
Now new cause of jurisdictional
disputes has arisen, namely unem.
ployment. There is bitter battle foi
bread, for life even, for jobs. All this
has been recently illustrated by the
riot in Pennsylvania initiated by farm
ers for what they called "the right to
work" A mob with pitchforks drove
union workers off the job.
Until the unemployment problem i.
settled on an orderly basis, we ma!
expect to see more jurisdictional dis
putes. There is one hopeful sign. /
| is likely that the uprising of the farm
ers indicates that the farmers wan
organization on an economic basis il
terms of trade union experience, ant
if this is true, they should have it.
