The National Labor Relations Act
prohibits employers from giving finan-
cial support to or otherwise promoting
company unions.
Despite this mandatory provision
of the Act, practically every week
brings to light some employers who
are evidently determined to continue
this unfair labor practice.
A revelation of the continuance Of
the company union monstrosity was
recently revealed by the National La
Dor Relations Board in connection with
it's proposed order requiring the Kan
sas City Power and Light Company
of Kansas City, Missouri, to bring to
an end union which it formed and
dominated for a number of years in
concerted effort to prevent its en-
ployes from organizing in bona fide

Federation Of Labor.
In it's investigation of the complaint
against the Power and Light Company
the Board discovered that the company
had Systematically employed labor
spies as regular employees. The spies

desire for food and other necessities
of life, but if he lacks the money to
buy these things, the simple fact that
he is hungry and willing to buy and
consume does not stimulate production
or provide his neighbor with a job.
If he continues to be without money
to buy the simple necessities of life
then he becomes a dependent of the
state, or some charitable organization
that provides him with food, shelter
and clothing. His consuming power,
however, is far from normal. He is
not eating his full three square meals
a day. Neither are his dependents,
if he is a family man.
Now this is the condition of our ten
million unemployed citizens and their
twenty million dependents. Their con-
suning power is low and everybody
feels the effect of this condition of
under-consumption in our country to-
day. Everybody is paying and pay
ing, either through direct or indirect
taxes, in some form or other, his and

fortunate citizens who are out of jobs

Courtesy of America First"
1t is said on good authority that the
women of America spend more than
three-fourths of our national income.
Wise spending is a big factor in our
economic life. 1t is this spending
power, or so-called BUYING POWER,
that makes the wheels of commerce
and industry hum.
The BUYING POWER in our
country is created through employ
ment. 1t is the employment of our
citizens and the wages and salaries
paid in factories, mills, mines, offices,
industrial and commercial establish
ments throughout the nation and the
thousand and one other ways and
means of earning money through ser
vices rendered; through the profess
ions; through investments, etc., which
constitute BUYING POWER. This is
nothing more than the amount of
money available cash, credit or
otherwise-for spending for the neces-
sites, pleasures and luxuries of life.
The production of goods, the things
we need in our daily lives, therefore
is an important element in the Gre
alton Of employment, jobs and money.
1t is production that gives employment
but it takes consumption to stimulate
production. However, a man may be

Ohio Commission
Weekly Wage Determined
BY Most Recent Full Time
Weekly Wage

Columbus, O.-The Ohio unemploy-
ment compensation commission this
week adopted a new rule for the cal
culation Of weekly wages upon which
unemployment benefits are to be paid.
The new rule, in the main, provides
that the workers most recent full
time weekly wage, in the last COM
pleted calandar quarter, be used as
the basis for determining weekly
wage. In those cases where the aver
age weekly wage is not determinable
on that basis, the total earnings shall
be divided by the number of weeks in
employment. The new rule, which was
suggested by the Social Security
Board, was adopted as a result of the
recent Franklin county common pleas
court decision on the commissions
average weekly wage" ruling.
All benefit payments which have
been made under the old rule will be
predetermined automatically. The COM
mission stressed the point that it
would not be necessary for claimants
to file new applications. In many
cases, the amounts to be paid out to
workers under the full-time weekly
wage, will be increased.
The new rule follows:
"The average weekly wage Of an
individual for whose employment dur
ing the whole or part of the period
defined in section four of this rule
there was established by schedule or
custom or otherwise a full time week,
and who was employed by an employ
er in such employment at a rate of
pay per hour, day or longer period
shall be the wages that such individual
would earn at such rate if he had been
employed the full number of hours or

Washington, D. C.-The Importance
of ending government spending to
stimulate business recovery and sub
stitute therefor large expansion of
private industry financed by investors
is strongly recommended in the cur
rent issue of the Monthly Survey of
Business published by the American
Federation of Labor.
Declaring that business conditions
coupled with the continuance Of a
large unemployed army calls for "a
New Objective" the Survey said:
"The American nation needs a Wig
orous program on all fronts to expand
production by private industry. Such
a program is urgent; if we want to
replace government spending by pri-
vate investment, put the unemployed
to work in private industry instead Of
WPA and prevent business recession
in 1910, accounting must be taken at
once.
at will take time and coordinated
effort to change from government
spending to private initiative; we have
barely enough time to accomplish it
before the present government spend
ing program loses it's force. 1t is dis
heartening, therefore, to see so little
recognition of this urgency in circles
where action can be TAKEN"

East Palestine, O.-The regular

Of the featured arguments has been
held over until the next meeting for
additional discussion. You can be as
sured it will be good.
Primary election Of national officers

until ten in the evening. AS an added
attraction we will have lunch, card
games and entertainment. You wont
be able to go wrong On this menu.
One Of our local BARRIERS appeared
at our meeting with proof that he is
union man. He expressed a desire
to have the other BARRIERS in town call
meeting to form a union Of their own
in East Palestine. Local Union 81
goes on record as endorsing such
action and is willing to aid in any way
to organize this trade.
Withdraw cards were granted to

of you, however, are asking for it.

A committee was appointed by the
local to investigate all apprentices
going on any trade to insure paid up
members having the advantage Of any
advancement opportunities.
At our next meeting, Monday,

one should lack interest in the organ

he supports.

they report as they should.

Relief Was so Of

1898. Board Soys
Nearly Sixth Of Total Popu-
ldtion Dependent Upon
Relief Payments

Total payments in 1888 from public
funds for direct relief and work re-
lief amounted to about per cent OF
total income payments in that year
according to figures released today by
the Social Security Board. Estimates
of the Board indicate that in Deem
ber 1888, the last month for which
figures are available, nearly a sixth
of the total population was wholly or
partly dependent on these relief pay
ments.
Figures released by the Board were
based on compilations of total income
payments and relief payments in the
years 1929-1938 prepared by the U. S.
Department of Commerce. These
figures show that in relation to total
income payments in the United States
public relief payments have constitu-
ted the following percentages in each
