HOW ORGANIZED LABOR
RENEFITS

Editors Note-This is the fourth of
six articles explaining the provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act, pre-
pared for the Potters Herald by the
Information Branch of the Wage and
Hour Division, United States Depart
ment of Labor.
Although the Fair Labor Standards
Act has had the vigorous support, be-
fore and since its enactment, of all
important national labor leaders, it
has sometimes been difficult for the
individual union man to see how it will
benefit him personally.
Many members Of organized labor
already were receiving much more
than 40 cents an hour, which is the
highest minimum wage contemplated
in the Act. Many already under union
contracts were receiving time and
half for overtime work. Many trade
unions, by bargaining agreements,
have established shorter workweek
than 40 hours, which is the maximum
to be reached under the Act in 1910.
Yet even these well-protected work
ers will receive important indirect
benefits.
Not all workers are organized. Out
side the labor movement there are
many millions Of men and women en-
ployed in interstate commerce, or in
the production of goods for interstate
commerce, who were wholly without
protection until their government came
to their assistance. They constituted
an enormous reservoir of low-paid la
Dor to which certain employers could
| turn in their efforts to resist the legi-
innate demands of organized workers
for higher wages and better working
conditions. Indirectly, they were in
competition with every man or woman
who had good job.
Moreover, when these people re-
ceive wage increases, the nations
mass buying power has been increased
And everybody knows that the goods
made in the mass production indus
tries cannot be sold unless there is
widely diffused mass buying power.
Before the Fair Labor Standards
Act, Mary Jones worked in Cleve-
land factory for 81 a week. After the
Act became effective she was raised
to S11 a week-25 cents an hour for
a 44-hour week She was able to buy
new dress, a new hat and a new
pair of shoes, to go to the movies
more frequently, to eat more and bet
ter food.
Just one workers increased buying
has an infnitesimal effect upon the
total Of the nations business. But
when you multiply one Mary Jones and
one John Smith by hundreds of thous-
ands or millions of Mary Joneses and

N. Y. FACTORY JOBS
SHOW LITTLE CHANGE

Albany, N. Y. QLNS).-Both fac
tory employment and payrolls in New
York State showed very little net
change from the middle Of June to the
middle of July, Industrial Commission
er Frieda S. Miller, reports. A net de-
cline of only 0.3 per cent in employ
ment was accompanied by very slight
increase of 0.01 per cent in total pay
rolls. The different industries that
constitute the total of manufacturing
in the state showed varied changes but
large gains in some tended to offset
the losses at most others. The largest
gains resulted from seasonal expansion
at canning and preserving plants and
the start of fall production at New
York City mems clothing and shoe
firms.

Annual Convention
Of Photo Engrovers
Union August 21-1
Increased Membership and
Highest Annual Wage
High Spots

indianapolis, End. ILNS). - In
creased membership, stronger finan-
cial condition, the highest annual wage
of any union, are some of the high
spots of the reports of officers to the
10th annual convention Of the Inter-
national Photo-Engravers Union,
August Fl to 26 in Indianapolis.
President Edward ]. Volz states, in
his report, that while the photo
engraving industry has suffered by ex-
listing industrial conditions, cordial
relations with employers have been
maintained, membership has been in
creased, additional shops have been
organized and brought into contractual
relations, new local unions have been
chartered, improved agreements nego-
tiated, employment standards bettered
and our future has in many ways been
made more promising and secure"
Evidence Of the effect of the de-
preston is found In the expenditure
for the year of more than $1,000, ,0O0,-
900 in unemployment benefits. This
furnishes an outstanding. example of
the value of unionism when coupled
with the fact that the total member
ship of this highly skilled craft union
is only 10,500. With respect to hours
and working conditions, notable prog
ress was made with the five-day week
in "almost universal establishment for
commercial workers and for more than
901o of those employed in newspaper
production" Practically the entire
membership enjoy a 40-hour or less
week with 25fs working 35 hours, and
454o on 3712 hour basis.
According to figures of the U. S.
Census Bureau, the unionized photo
engravers enjoy the highest annual
wage of any craftsmen in the country.
These wage rates range from $50 per
week to $50 for day workers and up
to $7s per week for those employed
at night.
Along with the bookbinders, printers
and other skilled trades, photo-en-
gravers have not escaped the conse-
quences of another depression prob
lem, that of the ill-trained and in
competent worker who has, as a re-
suit of unemployment, endeavored to
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1939-08-24
The Wage dnd Hour Low

John Smiths, the total effect may be
tremendous.
The farmer sells more produce and
with the money he receives he can buy
more goods manufactured in the cities.
The grocer from his increased busi-
ness, can buy a new automobile; the
automobile maker can build a new
house; the housing contractor can buy
a new electric refrigerator, and idle
railroad workers are called back to
work to help move all these goods
from farm to city, from city to far
from city to city. Thus the benefits
of increased buying extend on and on
in ever widening circles until every
body benefits in some degree. And
the goods for which there is now an
improved demand have to be manufac-
tured, and the people who manufac-
ture them are, in many cases, organ
lied workers. You may be one of
them.
Thus factories that formerly ran
only part time may now have to oper-
ate full time to fill the orders.
The hourly rate of pay any worker
receives is important, but even 81 an
hour is not very good wage if he
who receives it has an opportunity to
work only two months year. Even
with no increase in his base rate, his
annual earnings rise with each aided
week Of employment he gets. And it
takes the buying Of many millions to
keep the factories running so that all
the workers will be employed for long
er periods and others now idle will be
called back to work.
Several months ago an investigation
was made OF the manner in which
American families spend their in
comes. 1t was found that there were
100000 families receiving less than
S1,250 a year. The investigators
figured out that if all these could be
raised to S1,5C0, and if they spent
their money as do those already de-
ceiving that amount, S8OO,00O 600
more would be spent each year for
food, $500, 100000 more would be
spent for clothing, 100000 600 more
for rentals, S450,CO0,0OO more for
rentals, S450,000,000 more for fuel,
light refrigeration and house furnish
ings, $3S5,C00,000 more for automo-
biles, and s200,000,O0O more with the
doctor, the dentist and the druggist.
| The Fair Labor Standards Act isn't
so ambitious as to aim at minimum
national family income of $500 a
year, but it is step in the right di-
rection.
Economists emphasize the import
ance OF our foreign trade, but when
you come right down to it, the great
est potential American market is not
IN China, or India, or even in Canada,
| but right here at home.
