they will argue that the road system

confirm this conclusion. After the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court in April,
1887, the respondent did not notify the
bulk of it's employees that it was aban-
doning the Plan but permitted them
to assume that it was still continuing.
In contrast to the widespread publicity
which it gave the establishment of
the Plan among its employers, the re-
spondent, in a most informal and al
most furtive manner gave verbal no.
tice that it was abandoning the Plan
to only small number of employees
who had been employe-representatives
under the Plan.
"These employees played leading
parts in Transforming the Plan into
the Association. The constitution
and organizational structure of the
Association show that it is continu-
alton of the Plan with slight modifi-
cations. The structure of the Associ-
alton and the Plan are almost iden-
tical."
"The proposed findings state," the
Labor Board continued, "that the COM
pany employed labor spies from the
Ahner Detective Agency and the Ma
tional Detective Agency. These spies
were enrolled as regular employees OF
the company. They joined various la
Dor organizations of the employees and
made reports concerning the member
ship and activities of the employees.
"The Board finds from evidence al
the hearings that in 1884 Joseph F
Porter, Sr., president of the company
was one Of the six incorporators OF
the Kansas City Citizens Protective
Council, Inc, and that two vice presi
dents of the company, Chester T
Smith and Alec B. Belts, are mem
bers of the Councils Executive Com
mittee. This organization, the Boart
finds placed full-page anti-union ad
vertisements in Kansas City news
papers and issued bulletins to EN-
ployes urging them to present a unitet
front against the organization of thei1
employees for the purpose of collective
bargaining"
Aided "Citizens Protective Council"
The proposed findings concluded:
"The purpose of the Council is t.
discourage the self-organization O.
employees in Kansas City and it's ac
tivities, as shown above, are directed
toward that end. By its connection
with and assistance to the Council
and by it's approval of the activitie
of the Council designed to dissuad
employees in Kansas City from organ
izing for the purposes of COLLECTIVE
bargaining and to persuade employer
in Kansas City to prevent self-organ
ization by their employees, the respon
dent has shown that it's attitude to
ward the self-organization of employe
is one of aggressive hostility"

compilation as income payments, al
though they have previously been ex-
cluded from national income estimates
on the ground that they are compen-

period in which they were made; and
social insurance payments are included
in the present series as income pay
ments, although in estimates of natl

insurance funds.

tence payments to farmers. For all
categories, figures exclude expenses
for administrative purposes and fo1
materials, equipment, and supplies
and certain other expenses incident tc
the operation of relief programs.
The totals for earnings on work
programs, it was explained, include
earnings on work-relief and admins
trative projects and emergency educa

Works Progress Administrator, the
National Youth Administration, the
Civilian Conservative Corps, and othel
Federal agencies administering worl
programs at various times; and small
amounts of earnings on work projects
of State and local relief administra
toions.
Figures for direct relief include pay
ments for general public relief othe1
than work relief; payments to recipi
ents of old-age assistance, aid to de
pendent children, and aid to the blind
and emergency subsistence payment
to farmers.

Wdge-Hour Bill
Is Killed Without
Record Of Vote
Labor Committee Chuirmdn
Stedn-Rollers Measure
To It's Deuth
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

\Dy ONlO LdUOr NEWS OcFVlCeJ
Columbus, o. Arbitrarily disre-
garding demand for roll call vote
which would have placed members of
the House Labor Committee on record
for or against the A. F. Of L.-spon-
sored state wage-hour law, Chairman
L. H. Meyers, Lima, declared hearings
on the bill indefinitely postponed"
following voice vote last Wednesday
night.
The Chairman previously ruled that
the motion to indefinitely postpone
(kill) the bill, made by Representa-
tive Guy C. Hiner, Canton, had pre-
ceded a motion made by Representa-
tive w. H. Whetro, Ironton, author of
the bill, to recommend its passage to
the House.
Demand for the record roll call vote
was made by Representative Whetro
and seconded by Representative Jo-
seph Duffy, Cleveland, but was ig-
nored by Chairman Meyers who called
for a protective voice vote, and prac-
tically all Of the Committee members
responded with alacrity.
Before placing the question of dis
position of the bill before the Com
mittee, Chairman Myers remarked
that he had "handfull" of written
objections to the bill from employers,
and only one telegram from $50
called labor leader" favoring it's pass
age.
He also pointed out to the Com
mittee that while only three or four
persons, "mostly representatives of
organized labor" had favored the bill,
{ the Committee had heard a dozen or
more opponents, representing employ
ers and employing groups.
Chairman Myers then informed the
Committee members that they could
vote to lay the bill on the table, post
pone hearings on it indefinitely, or
recommend it's passage to the House
of Representatives.
The mockery of amending the bill
before voting to kill it was indulged
in by Chairman Myers, who, with
Representative Hiner, leader of the
Canton League for Law and Order
during recent industrial disputes, was
outsponken in opposition to the meas
ure throughout the hearings.
A poll of the Committee shortly
after hearings started on the wage
hour bill three weeks ago indicated
that not more than four or five favor
able votes could be mustered in the
l5-member Committee.
Chairman Myers was outmaneuver-
ed in his efforts to kill another labor
bill creating state labor relations
act when hearings on the wage-hour
law were begun. In keeping with a
motion adopted at that time, hear
ings are now to resume on the labor
relations bill.

Established Company Union in 1888
"The proposed findings state that
the company in 1888 established
among its employees a company -domin-
ated labor organization known as
Employees Representation Plan. This
Plan continued until the spring of
1887. The company admitted that it
had contributed financial support to
it. After the Supreme Court upheld
the constitutionality Of the Act, the
company claimed that it abandoned
the Plan and that it played no part
in the formation of very similar or
ganization known as Association OF
Employees of Kansas City Power &
Light Company, which appeared on the
scene Immediately thereafter" The
proposed findings reject this conten-
ton, stating:
Continued Scheme Despite Labor Act
",Thc undisputcd facts establish that
the respondent dominated and inter
fcred with the formation and admins
tration of the Plan and contributed
financial and other support to it.
"Thc respondents entire course ol
the conduct, after it realized in April
1887, that it could no longer lawfully
continue its participation in the Plan

the Survey said "the time is now ripe
for national effort to reach the high
est production levels in history"
Four-POint Program Outlined
Answering its own question, "What
are the next steps to expand produc-
tion?" the Survey said that govern
ment, business, farmers and labor"
must work together through regular
channels" and that the problems of
getting bank deposits into production
must be solved.
With regard to replacing govern
ment spending with private invest
ment, the Survey outlined the follow
ing four-point program:
1. An adequate" nationwide, low
cost housing program, involving "some
Federal and local government aid"
2. Congressional action" as sug-
gested in the wage parleys last Fall
to enable railroads to buy "much
needed new equipment"
3. General retooling and re-equip-
ment of industrial plans "much" of
which would automatically follow eX-
panslon.
d. Purchase Of new equipment by
utilities and Federal help" to extend
power lines into new areas.
Government Aid in Planning VisiOned
AS prerequisites to such a program,
business needs the assistance of leg
islation and planning and some pro-
grams will require financial aid from
the government" the Survey said,
while "labor needs the assurance that
wages will be increased through col
lective bargaining as profits rise" and
that rising prices will not cancel wage
gains.
On the international side, the Sur
vey said that war scares have delay
ed business expansion this Spring"
though Optimism continues" and it
gives this warning:
"We in America need to guard
against an emotional approach to
foreign problems, which would mag
Nifty war scares, create hatred and
fear, and serve as a background for
large armament expenditures.
eve are now world power with
full responsibility for weighing con
sequences of our declarations and
policies upon world peace and wei

along with the decrease in foreign
manufactured items. Yes, the women
of America are awakening and they
are thinking in terms of AMERICA
FIRST.
l feel the time has come when we
all must think in terms of the nation
and the welfare of all the people be-
fore we think of ourselves, our in
dustries or our products. 1t is this
realization Of a responsibility to my
country that prompted me to enroll
in the MADE IN AMERICA CLUB
and join hands with my fellow Ameri-
can manufacturers and employers in
other lines of industrial endeavor to
awaken the citizens of our country to
the wisdom of BUYING AMERICAN
products.
The MADE IN AMERICA CLUB,
Inc, is the only movement of its kind
that is national in it's scope. It's nom
profit and non-partisan principles ap-
peal to me and all business men who
are conscious of their responsibility
to the nation and the welfare of all
the people.
Look at England, she has the right
idea. Right now, while American eX-
porting firms are dreaming of in
creased sales of their products in Eng
land, as result of the Anglo -Ameri-
can Treaty, Great Britain is quicken
ing her BUY BRITISH campaign. The
country is again being flooded with
the slogan "Buy British - British
Goods are Best" and the Empire
Marketing Board is going to leave no
stone unturned to impress upon all
citizens of the British Empire the wis
dom of BUYING BRITISH. In Eng
land today you'll find many articles
bearing tiny tags 81 am British made
thank you for Buying Me-"
Why shouldn't we Americans take
leaf out of England's book on the
Buy British and do the same here in
America? Well, that is just what we
are doing. That is what the MADE
IN AMERICA CL U B movement
means. We advocate that whenever
an article of American make has the
same, or as is in most cases, higher
measure of quality in material, design
and production as similar article OF
foreign make that we Americans
should give preference to the Ameri
can Made product. That is common
sense.
I therefore appeal to the women OF
America, who spend most of our in
come, as we'll as all citizens, irrespec
tive of class, creed or political affili
alton to help us put stop to the in
flow of cheaply produced foreign mer
chandise, much of which is made un
, der working conditions and rates o1
pay that no self respecting American
, workingman could afford to live. Yol
who give preference to those cheaply
, low wage produced articles are in

ing it difficult for Americans wh'
would be employed in making the sim

Yes, it is you women of Americ;
who can help US find jobs for our un
employed citizens. We want you to-
to think and act in terms of AMERI
r CA FIRST. We invite you to enrol
