Change In Hours
Problem ToLU l22
Cambridge Members Think
Wages Should Be liked
With Fewer Hours

Cambridge, O.-With the coming of
the change in the number of hours to
be worked under the wage and hour
law, there is a lot of speculation in
Cambridge as to just how the hours
of work will be fixed. There has been
a number of new jobs created as a
result of the shortened hours. The
problem now, is to have wages ad-
justed to bring the earning power up
to a point which will at least make
up the difference in the loss of hours.
Talking of wages, there are num-
Der of members who cannot see any
good reason why we cannot have a
uniform day wage in every depart
ment. We have heard lot about a
uniform rate for kilndrawers, also
decorators. Difference in wages is not
only unfair to the workers, but to the
manufacturers; there should be uni
formity in the opinion Of some.
To any brother or sister who plans
to accept employment under the jur-
isdiction of Local Union No. 122, be
prepared to present your card to a
member Of the shop committee when
you start to work. There has been
lot of trouble and misunderstanding
in the matter, so the local has decided

President Roosevelt has yet to des-

United States citizens will be present
in capacity of l. L. o. officials: Direc-

Executive Bourd
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus, O.-Officials of A. F. of
l.. City Central Labor bodies in Cleve-
land, Toledo, Akron, Cincinnati and
Columbus are to meet Thursday, Oc-
tober 26, in the Neil House, to confer
with the Executive Board of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor on the re-
lief crisis facing industrial areas of
the state.
The emergency meeting was called
by Michael J. Lyden, Youngstown,
president of the Ohio State Fedora
ton Of Labor, following conference
with Thomas J. Donnelly, Secretary
Treasurer Of the State AFL branch,
and is in prompt accord with a pledge
of "unreserved support" made by
President Lyden in an address to the
Toledo Central Labor Union October
19.
Invited to the conference are John
Froehlich, executive secretary Of the
Toledo Central Labor Union; Thomas
A. Lenehan, secretary of the Cleve-
land Federation of Labor; A. j. Frecka,
secretary Of the Summit County
Trades and Labor Assembly, Akron;
Otto Zoecklein, secretary of the Gin
cinnati Central Labor Council, and
John C. Getreu, president of the Co.
lumbus Federation of Labor.
The conference call urges the labor
officials to attend the meeting "to give
consideration to the critical situation
which exists in a number of our in
dustrial centers in Ohio in relation to
unemployment and relief"
The Toledo Central Labor Union has
adopted resolution urging state
wide mass meeting for the purpose of
developing a relief program and de-
manding that Governor Bricker call
an emergency session of the Legisla-
ture "to relieve the relief crisis exist
ing in Toledo and other cities where
conditions have approached a most
critical stage and where suffering has
already become acute and unbearable."
"The seriousness of the relief stu
alton in Toledo cannot be overstated,"
Secretary Froehlich said in letter to
Secretary Donnelly. Measured in
terms of human suffering, it is more
terrible than the collapse of 1929 and
unless help is Forthcoming within ten
days there will be really serious con-
sequences. The situation is worse to-

l submit the following as the chief
topics of my speech delivered to the
55th Annual Conxentions.of the Can
adian Trades and Labor Congress:
at is my privilege to present to you
the greetings and Fluctuations of your
neighboring national labor movement
the American Federation of Labor.
| come to you at q time when our
hearts and minds are filled with ap-
prehension and distress at the turn in
world events, the outcome of which no
one can foretell. Your Nation is even
now at war with the aggressor nation
of Germany. My own Nation is COM
mitted to a policy of national neu-
trality. Though our sympathies be
where they may, no one can but feel
that the emotions that come with war
are shared by the entire human family
and the loss or separation from loved
ones is felt just as keenly by those
fighting for one cause, no matter how
mistaken they may be, as for just
cause. For that reason we have
common bond with all. 1t is a sad
commentary on what we have been
pleased to call our advanced civiliza-
ton that men still resort to the law
of the jungle in the settlement of their
disputes, whether they be personal,
national, or International. Though self
defense is the first law and the pro-
lection of our homes and country has
always been instructive, am confident
that there is no one here today who
does not share with me sincere re-
gret that some of the sovereign ma
tions of the world are for the second
time in twenty-five years engaged in
actual warfare.
"Times of stress and difficulty have
ever proved opportune for those who
would divert US from real issues to
press their own cause and advance
their personal ambitions. There will
be those who will seek to distort real
issues and thus gain support for their
own ends. Experience has proved
that the labor movements are the
target for such tactics and we must
be constantly on guard to protect our
standards and interests at all times.
From the inquiries which are made
of the officers and members of the
American Federation of Labor we
know that there are systematic ef
forts being made to obscure trends in
trade unionism in the United States.
These false friends are actually seek
ing support for movements which
would destroy and not build lasting,

reason l deem it most appropriate to
explain the aims and purposes of the

By Labor OHiciuls
(By Ohio Labor News Seryice)

Columbus, O.-Hearings in a pre-
liminary survey of wages paid in the
beauty parlor industry were continued
in Akron October "a and Youngstown
October 26 by Industrial Relations Di-
rector George A. Strain, Assistant
Director Nelson Hovey and Minimum
Wage Superintendent James P. Walsh,
Jr.
The preliminary survey is being
conducted by the State Labor Depart
ment officials to determine the ne
cessity Of a complete survey followed
by establishment Of a fair minimum
wage in the beauty parlor industry
under the Ohio minimum wage law,
and the cost of enforcing such an
order.
A first hearing held in Akron Oc-
tober IL revealed wages which were
termed "deplorable and damnable" by
the labor department officials. Testi-
mony of beauty shop employees re-
vealed that wages ranging from 50
to So weekly was the rule for full-time
operators in "cut-rate" shops.
Wages Of SIP to s25 were reported
being paid in Union and "better"
shops by the witnesses. Violation of
the 48-hour work week law was also
revealed in the testimony, when wit
nesses said that their working hours
averaged so to SIS week.
The October "a hearing in Akron
was arranged by Director Strain fol-
lowing objections Of Beauticians' Lo-
cal Union 105-A, Akron, and the Ohio
State Association of Journeymen Bar
bers' and Beauticians to the lack Of
time given the Union, which instigated
the survey, to prepare evidence.
Director Strain announced that fu-
ture hearings to be held in several
metropolitan cities throughout the
state would be arranged in cooperation
with the BARRIERS and Beauticians'
Union officials.
Active support of a statewide sur
vey in the beauty parlor industry has
been pledged by Miss Elizabeth
Magee, Cleveland, executive secretary
of the Consumers League Of Ohio.
Miss Magee said the survey had the
