SWEATSHOPS OUT
Senator Says Government
Should Be Careful
With Money

On July II the United States Senate
amended the Public Contracts Act Of
1886 by prohibiting the Government
from awarding for three years con-
tracts to persons certified by the Sec
retary of Labor as having been found
"in final adjudication by the appro-
pirate court to have interfered with,
restrained, or coerced their employees
in the exercise of their rights to self
organization, to form, join, or assist
labor organizations, to bargain col
lectively through representatives of
their own choosing, or to engage in
concerted activities for the purpose of
collective bargaining or other mutual
aid or protection" Senator David /.
Walsh of Massachusetts, joint author
with Representative Arthur D. Healey
of Massachusetts of the present Pub
lie Contracts Act, in charge Of the bill,
explaining to the Senate it's purpose
in general and the so-called blacklist
amendment in particular. This article
contains an excerpt from the Massa-
chusetts Senator's speech.
BY DAVID l. WALSH
United States Senator from
Massachusetts
We all regret the necessity of law
of this kind. l wish the conditions in
the industry and business life of the
country were such that there Was no
chiseling, that there were no sweat
shops; that the Government could pur-
chase from shigh-class industries and
business establishments which are
striving to maintain the best possible
standards of working conditions for
their employees. But all laws of this
kind are the result of abuses and are
designed to correct abuses.
Unless we have a law of this kind,
then shoes will be manufactured in
sweatshops; caps will be manufactur-
err in sweatshops; Army and Navy
supplies will be manufactured in
sweatshops; clothing will be manufac-
tured in sweatshops.
If there are still sweatshops all
those things will be done as they were
done to some extent before the orig
inal public-contracts law was passed.

I'D. K. Discusses
WPA Wage Rate
With Federation
Committee. Headed by VIM.
Green. Insists Prevailing
Rutes be Maintained

Washington, D. C.-The subject of
the prevailing wage on WPA projects
abolished by the current WPA appro-
priation law, was taken up with Pres
ident Roosevelt by an American Fed
Grafton of Labor Committee headed by
President Green. The other members
of the committee were Harry c.. Bates,
president of the Bricklayers and
Masons Union; G. A. Bugniazet, sec
retary of the Electrical Workers
Brotherhood; George @. Lynch, presi-
dent of the Pattern Makers League;
John P. Frey, president of the Metal
Trades Department Of the American
Federation of Labor, and l. M. Orn-
burn, secretary-treasurer of the Union
Label Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor.
Following the White House confer
ence, Mr.. Green said:
"We had a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and we discussed the
elimination Of the prevailing rate of
wages section from the Relief bill.
We discussed the matter quite fully
and represented to him the great dis
satisfaction which prevails throughout
the country and stressed the need for
correcting the situation.
zone thing stood out in the discus
sion and that was that above and be-
yond all else the union wage scales
must be maintained. The President
is going to explore two or three rec
concentrations that we made to him
and see what can be DONE"
Mr.. Green said that the dismissal
Of WPA workers after five days of
absence had also been taken up with
the President and that The Chief Ex-
ecutive had been asked to intervene
and protect the strikers from discrim-
ination.
The distress among artists, thea
trical performers and musicians was
also taken up with the President, ac-
cording to Mr.. Green. He said that
the committee had earnestly requested
that something be done for these
groups.
Law Makers See Committee
Washington, D. C.-Congressional
leaders were interviewed by an Amer
lean Federation of Labor committee
headed by President Green with regard
to the recommendation adopted by the
conference of over 200 representatives
Of A. F. of L. national and internati-
onal unions that the prevailing wage
be restored on WPA projects.
The committee urged William B.
Bankhead, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and Sam Rayburn,
House Majority Leader, to continue
the fight for the restoration of the
prevailing wage provision. Mr.. Green
told newspaper reporters he was
neither encouraged nor discouraged"
by the talks with the House leaders.
After conferring with Vice Presi-
dent Garner, Mr.. Green said he had
received the impression from the
Senate's presiding officer that there
was very little he could do in con-
nection with the prevailing wage ques-
ton.
Senator James F. Murray and Rep
resentative Adolph J. Sabbath, lead
ers Of the movement to restore the
prevailing wage rate, announced that
they were endeavoring to have hear

CHANDLER TO
HIGHWAY POST
Appointment Will Become Eff
fected Aug. 15 If Judges
Decision is Legal
MACK IS ENGINEER

The Republican controlled State
Highway Commission Wednesday
of last week in brief session Sc
lected Ebe H. Chandler, of Days
boro, as state motor vehicle COM
missioner to succeed Zack W.Wells.
The appointment of Chandler, who
is chairman of the Republican
Stale Committee, is effective Aug
ust Is, provided the courts, by that
time, decide which of two highway
commissions rightfully hold office.
In the event there is no decision by
that date, it is understood Chand-
Ter will delay his taking Office. His
salary was fixed at $4,000 year,
which is said to be the same as
that now being received by Wells.
The Republican commission also
reelected w. w. Mack as chief en-
gineer of the highway department
for the remainder of the calendar
year. Officials of the commission
said no action took place as to the
state police superintendent or
other offices. There didn't seem
to be any use in acting on the
state police department" one Of

tion over the two commissions is
settled" 1t is also understood that
Wells has the authority of both
contending highway commissions
to continue with his plans for the
annual inspection of automobiles
this summer. The Republican
controlled highway commission
was set up by recent act of the
Legislature over the veto of Gov.
Richard c. McMullen. The consti-
tutionality of the new board has
been attacked by the old board,
controlled by Democrats and the
case Is now before the courts for
decision. The new commission

Two hours of thrilled-packed en-

Jimmie Lynch's Death Dodgers Of
fer their unusual feats of skill and
daring with stock automobiles at
the Kent & Sussex Fair on Mon
day night, July oath, it was an
nounced today by Secretary Ernest
Raughley.
More than half score of daring
young men have been trained un-
der the personal supervision of
Jimmie Lynch on his famous
speed oval at the New York
Worlds Fair grounds in the art of
handling stock automobiles in a
series of amazing maneuvers.
These dare-devils are prepared to
offer the ultimate in automotive
thrillers, stunts that will include
the shattering of huge blazing bar
riers, a leap far over a two-ton
truck and a deliberate crash roll
Smyrna times., 1939-07-06

of a stock sedan in addition to a
series of intricate exhibitions of
driving skill.
Lynch has gained an Interna-
tional reputation as a thrill driver
and his ability to impart his knowl-
edge to others was recognized
when he was selected to stage the
automobile thrillers at the New
York Worlds Fair. He and his
agents combed the nation for
young men with the courage and
skill necessary for such hazardous
work, and from a field of more
than 400 candidates selected a
group he feels certain will provide
thrill seekers at the Kent & Sussex
Fair real two-hour circus of
death.
Throughout the long winter
months Lynch taught these young
sters the proper method of hand
ling the machine while it is racing
along on two wheels at so miles
an hour, the lower running board
Smyrna times., 1939-07-06

digging into the dirt each time it
is tilted from a series of three
high rampways. He showed these
young men how to control an au-
tomobile while soaring through the
air like gigantic bird for more
than 100 feet; he taught them
how to protect themselves while
performing his sensational snap
roll, twisting the car end over end
and side over side down the track,
and he drilled them in completely
demolishing stock sedans in head
on collisions, automobile battle
royals, Roman ski jumping, and
other breath-taking feats that will
complete this program.
The Death Dodgers have beer
engaged for the majority of the
leading State, Sectional and Coun-
ty Fairs in the United States and
Canada, and everywhere arrange
ments are being made to handle
record breaking throngs for this
internationally known organization.

Ancients as Fishermen

The ancients knew much about
catching fish. Spear, hook and line,
rod and net all were used by the
Greeks and Romans, and by the
Egyptians along the Nile In 1000
B. c. The Israelites and the an
cient Chinese depended heavily on
fish for food, as do the Chinese and
Japanese. Discovery of excellent
fishing waters off the American
shores from New England to New
foundland was an important factor
in the colonization and early his
tory Of the new world. European
fishing ships came there as early as
the Sixteenth century, and these
fisheries were considered one OF the
great sources of wealth then known
in the world.

/ NEUTRALITY real display
Of fire works is expected some
time around July by Congress on
the issue of neutrality. The fight
will center on how best to legislate
neutrality "A bill was just report
ed out of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee of the House that would lift
the Arms Embargo and give the
/ President more discretion in For
eign Affairs. Senator Nye has ob-
tanned over twenty signatures op-
posing the administrations ideas on
neutrality and they plan to stay in
4 session all summer if necessary to
defeat the administration. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
feel that the present law helps
agressors, who usually are well
armed nations, who can fight with
out importing war materials, and
who also have enough money and
boats to obtain food and raw ma
! terials in America. 1t is believed
that the law now standing would
greatly hurt England and France
in a war with Germany since the
Germans own the huge Skoda and
| Czechoslovakia armament works.
POULTRY AND EGG INDUS
TRY-The poultry and egg indus
try once more is expanding. Pro-
duction of chickens was increased
/ in 1888, and a further increase is
in progress this year. Production
of eggs declined slightly in 1888,
but the output during the current
year 1889 will probably equal or
exceed that of 1887. On January
/ last there were approximately
Ala, 100000 chickens on farms. On
January 1 next there may be more
than 420,000,000. During the past
Is years, the largest number of
chickens on farms was 475,000,000
/ in 1928, and the smallest was 387,-
900 900 in 1888. But as feed was
more plentiful during 1888 there
was an increase of about Z per
cent in the number of chickens
during the year.
| NEW All CLUB EMBLEM
LAW-4-H Club work has received
new recognition with passage by
Congress and signing by the Presi-
dent of a law prohibiting unau-
thorized use of the All emblem.
The emblem is in the shape of a
green four-leaf clover with stem,
and a white or gold H in each leaf
The 4-H's represent Head, Heart,
Hands and Health, signifying the
four-fold developmet club members
attain in their farming and home
making projects and club meet
ings. This legislation will be of
assistance in discouraging those
who wish to commercialize the Al
Club activity by using the name or
emblem on manufactured articles,
or in other ways that have no con-
nection with club work. The Ian
guage and intent of the new law
is clear. It is unlawful for any
person falsely and with intent to
defraut to pretend that he is a
representative of the All Clubs,
or to wear or display the All en-
blem to induce the belief that he
is a member of the All Clubs.
