NEW YORK, Oct. 20-Reservine
the right to a second guess some
time Saturday night, this football
corner slips uneasily into the weekly
soothsayer's role:
Tennessee -Alabama-Bob Neyland
takes the wraps of the Tennessee
powerhouse against formidable op-
position. Alabama has a corking
line, great runner in Jimmy Mel
son, fine kicker in Charley Bos-
we'll. But the feeling persists here
that this game is Tennessee's sea-
son. The nod goes to Tennessee.
Tulane North Carolina-Two more
unbeaten Southern teams collide.
North Carolina, with George Stirn-
weiss and Jim Lalanne in control,
has shown the more versatile at
tack but Tulane boasts real power.
Tulane.
Notre Dame-Navy-Navy doesn't
seem ready for this. Notre Dame.
Minnesota-Ohio State This
hunch vote goes to Minnesota with
all due respect to the undefeated
Buckeyes.
Texas Christian Texas A. and M.
The spot for an upset in the diz-
ziest of all football conferences but
the ballot must be marked for Texas
Aggies.
Pitt Duquesne - Psychologically
the edge in this intracity game al
ways rests with little Duquesne.
Once in while the Dukes come
through. With all that in mind,
Pitt.
Strings With Army Again.
Yale-Army-Only sheer luck has
kept Army unbeaten so far. Well
take the Cadets again and risk a
set of badly-burned fingers.
Manhattan-A -Auburn-P bly
close but Auburn appears the better
ball club and gets the nod.
Cornell-Penn State-The Nittany
Lions may be dangerous but the
bigger guns belong to Cornell The
nomination. then, is Cornell's.
Harvard -Penn-One CT the hard
est of them all to figure. Penn has
scored two touchdowns and won two
games but unquestionably has been
covering up. Harvard is good and
will be better. Penn.
New York University Carnegie
Tech-Braving the jinx N. Y. U.
holds over Carnegie, one wavering
vote for the Pittsburghers.
Columbia Princeton Wen take
Princeton and decline to discuss it
on logical grounds.
Brown Holy Cross-The vote goes
to Holy Cross.
Duke -Syracuse-Can't see any
thing but Duke
Vanderbilt-Georgia Tech-If VAN
derbilt wins this we'll bring suit.
Georgia Tech.
Nod to West Virginia.
West Virginia Washington and
Lee-Possibly close. Still West Vir-
ginia.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20-There has
been a lot of nonsense spread around
and about the country rating this
and that game as the biggest of the
week.
AS a matter of fact, tomorrow's
most studendous struggle-every one
In Pittsburgh will attest-brings to-
gether the undefeated elevens Of
Pitt and Duquesne in a backyard
battle without peer.
It will be the sixth meeting of the
two teams since 1882 and the mighty
Panthers have won four Of the pre-
vious five games-but you'd never
know it the way the Dukes grid for
each new game.
Started As Charity Game.
The series started with a post
season charity contest and has been
renewed since then for strictly mon
etary reasons. Year in and year cut
the little brick school on the bluff
has sent more than its share of chills
up the Panthers' spines.
In their first regular season meet
ing in 1888 Pitt won to 0 and when
the rivalry was renewed in 1896 the
Dukes triumphed by the same score
in one of the seasons most rever-
berating upsets. In 1887 Pitt had to
60 all-out Of win by 6 to 0 and last
year for the first time was able to
coast home. 27 to 0.
With such a background the col.
lisions have drawn 20, 40 and almost
up to 10000 spectators at one time
or another and even though Du-
quesne will go into tomorrow's game
in its customary role of an under
dog, the lightning might strike Pitt.
In the only other Eastern game
involving two undefeated. united
teams Harvard and Penn will elbow
their way through the heavy ivy"
trimmings to scatter the dust of
history again.
But going beyond the glamour, the
Pltt-DuqueSne doipgs look tops.
Each team is striving to make good
for new coach-Buff Donelli at
Duquesne and Charley Bowser at
Pitt. Thus far the Panthers have

Butte UNEMPLOYED
CHARTERED IN JAIL

That some 16 single persons have
had to seek shelter in the local
county Jail is indeed a sad COM
mentary on working and living con-
ditions in Butte and a blow to the
community pride of this Richest Hill
on Earth. Mr.. O'Braun, county well
fare administrator, states that there
are some 400 unemployed single in
dividuals who are being denied rent
provisions in Butte. Of necessity
they are now depending on the in
diligence and generosity of their
landlord or landlady-traditionally
a very rare quality among this gen.
try-for a place to call their home.
The facts in this deplorable situa-
ton are that several weeks ago the
local Public Welfare Board, among
other curtailments, stopped making
rent provisions for unemployed
single persons, hence they were
evicted from many places. After
several unsuccessful endeavors to
find quarters it became necessary
for them to 60 to the county Jail
where after a few days permanent
hunks were rugged out. The Public
Welfare Board still allows them the
munificent sum of $40 a month to
maintain themselves in decency and
health as prescribed by law. The
$40 allowance is turned over by each
of these individuals to the depart
ment in charge of the county Jail
for their keep. For this amount they
are permitted to register, given a
number, provided with a bed and
two meals a day. The fare is prac-
tically the same that given to
prisoners.

NON CITIZENS ASKED
TO ATTEND CLASSES

The WPA-American Legion nat
uralization school will open its sum-
mer session tomorrow according to
an announcement by Mrs. Grace
Anstice, supervisor of the school.
The course will prepare aliens for
the citizenship hearing to be held
next fall.
The school has received much
praise from the naturalization exam
iners, Mrs. Anstice said, and during
the last examination only four per-
sons were admitted to citizenship
who were not graduates of the
school.
The classes are free and open to
everyone. Grade-school work and
reviews will be provided for those
who desire it. The schedule of
classes is as follows: Monday, Tues
day, Thursday, Friday, at 7 p. m. on
the third floor of the Y. M. c. A.
Afternoon classes for night workers,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, IL to 4 p. M,

It is anticipated that as the situa-
ton worsens and public indignation
is aroused the county Public We'll
fare Board will rush into print with
a defense of their treatment of these
unemployed. 1t will be stated that
the quarters are warm, clean and
fireproof; that the fare is palatable
and beds clean. (There is a type of
logic that excuses every human
meanness and injustice by reasoning
that something done is better than
nothing. This is the philosophy of
most relief set-ups and it finds a few
adherents in the labor movement.)
But, no matter. It is a disgrace
that any individual is forced to live
on $40 a month. 1t is worse than a
disgrace that unemployed must go
to Jail for shelter in a community
with such immense resources as
ours. Public officials are bound by
oath to administer the Public We'll
fare Act in a manner that will pro-
vide those eligible for aid with a
minimum compatible with decency
and health. Unfortunately, the law
does not provide penalties for failure
to carry out its provisions.
On Sunday, April 9th, at the city
wide conference on unemployment
held at the Butte Miners Union a
special committee of five was set
up to investigate this situation and
work out ways of remedying it. The
committee has made its preliminary
investigation and many of the men
interviewed expressed their dissatis-
faction with the jail quarters. The
worst aspect of the situation is that
each of the 400 single individuals on
relief in Butte, many of them wom-
en-, may sooner or later have to make
their home in the jail. Undoubtedly
the committee will take steps to
have o. suitable quarters estab-
lished. Some of the material being
Montana labor news., 1939-04-13

gathered by the committee is being
used to good advantage by Philip
O'Donnell, local attorney, who is
taking court action on the relief
situation.

An Employer Testifies

The Union Label from time to time has
mentioned the fact that employers all over
our country testify to satisfactory relations
they are having and have had with unions
and union members.
Now comes President w. H. Lowe of the
Paraffine Companies, Inc, operating a huge
factory on the east shore Of San Francisco
Bay, who tells in a recent ISSUE of The Chris
tan Century how he finds that cooperation
with unions PAYS, not only in increased
plant efficiency but also in additional bust
ness for the company.
The company, makers of Pabco roofing,
floor covering and paint, employs 800 work.
ers, pays the highest wages in the industry,
provides free group insurance, vacations with
pay, recreation facilities, and turkeys fol all
employees on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Eighteen labor organizations have locals in
the Paraffine Companies plant, Is of which
are A. F. of L. unions, and three of which are
CLIO amfiliates. For two years these locals
and the company executives have lived
peaceably and not once have the unions
members caused a stoppage of the machines.
After telling in detail how the company
manages to get along satisfactorily with 10
unions in one plant-an unusual condition
President Lowe concludes with the following
statement:
"When we first signed up with the unions,
the Fbellyache meetings among our execu-
tives used to last till midnight. Now we're
willing to hand it to the unions. We're pay
ing the highest wages in our history, but we
get more for our wage dollar. The unions
not only increased efficiency in our plant, but
they are helping to sell our products. That's
what we get out of playing ball with them"
Greater loyalty and efficiency we're the
only benefits President Lowe expected to get
out of the Parafine Companies campaign of
cooperation with the unions, but here are
some of the additional benefits received.
One night, when the city fathers of a neigh
boring community were deciding on the floor
covering for a public building, a delegation
of union men appeared, to urge the purchase
of the Pabco brand. Their voice swung the
deal. Another union delegation promoted
the company's linoleum for a new school in
another city. A union business agent I'M
covered a big paint deal and hot-footed to
the sales manager in time to land the order.
When the state highway commission was
buying paint to mark the highways, a labor
delegation lined up the business for the
company.
One union put on a direct-mail campaign
to merchants, reminding them that the
Paraffine Companies employed over 1900
people and had an annual payroll of $3,000,-
900.

Let the Workers Decide

The Wagner Labor Relations Act is based
on the proposition that the public welfare
can best be promoted by genuine collective
bargaining in which workers as well as
ployers are free to choose representatives
who really represent them.
The Wagner Act has been notably success
full in clearing the way for such collective
bargaining, with great benefits to labor, in
dustry and the whole country. But in spite
of this, the act is now under serious attack.
It has been subjected to tremendous CAM
paign of hostile propaganda and misrepre-
sentation.
President John L. Lewis of the CLIO, writing
in Fortune magazine, cuts through the fog
created by this propaganda campaign by
examining the motives of those who inspire
it and by calling attention to the real issues
involved.
"The agitation against the act" he says,
comes chiefly from people who are opposed
to all genuine collective bargaining, or who
seek to use the act as an instrument to pro-
mote their narrow special interests at the
expense of the general welfare of labor and
industry"
The enemies of the act on the employers
side, according to Lewis, are die-hard anti
union industrialists who have resisted the
law since its enactment; professional agita-
tors who make a profitable racket of conduct
ing industrial welfare, ostensibly on the EN-
ployer's behalf but more often at his eX-
pense"; and reactionary politicians "who are
willing to seize on any stick to beat the pres
ent administration"
Ok 11ooos4,o, .vvo,,1J L0xvo 144To oLOooO
of success, however, Lewis adds, if it were
not strengthened by apparent opposition
from within the camp of labor.
"This type of opposition" he says, comes
from backward-lookin c%raft-union leaders
who oppose the forms of industrial unionism
which follow the lines of modern industry,
and who are disgruntled at the workers obvi-
GUS preference for modern unionism when
given a free opportunity to express their
choice"
But one thing which all the opponents of
the Wagner Act have in common is their
unwillingness ito allow the workers a free
and untrammeled choice of the type of union
representation they desire"
"They seek" says Lewis, "to jockey and
gerrymander in such a way that workers may
have to accept alleged unions which are the
employers choice, or else craft unions which
came into being long before the era of modern
mass-production industry and are not adapt
ed to cope with its problems"
Democracy demands that the workers
themselves be free to choose what type of
union best suits their needs, as the present
act provides. This is also the only possible
basis for real collective bargaining.
That is why all true friends of democracy
and collective bargaining are rallying to the
defense of the Wagner Act against all pro-
posed amendments.
