FIRM ORDERED
TO REPAY DUES

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-A Ma
tional Labor Relations Board ruling
invalidating an American Federation
of Labor union shop contract in Illi-
nois has brought denunciation from
federation leaders.
The invalidated contract covered
1000 employees of the Mt. Vernon Car
Manufacturing Company, Mt. Vernon,
Ill. The board ordered the company
to reimburse it's employees for A. F. of
l.. dues deducted from their pay en-
velopes and to grant sole bargaining
rights for all production and main
tenance employees to the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers of North America, CLIO.
affiliate.
A. F. of l.. officials estimated that
$4,000 in dues were involved in the
boards order.
The decision accused the company
of violating the Wagner Act by refus-
ing to bargain with the c. I. o. and by
interfering with and supporting the
United Car Builders of Mt. Vernon, a
locally controlled" union, and the A.
F. of l.. Brotherhood of Railway Car
men. 1t said the C. /. o. represented
a majority of the comapnys employees
on June Is, 1937-two months before
the A. F. of L. contract was signed.
Joseph Padway, A. F. of L. general
counsel, attacked the decision as tan
other instance" of NJ. RIB. "bias"
in favor of the C. 10.
The board said the company's presi-
dent, David G. Arthurs, when he be-

June, the board said, the company
signed closed shop contracts with the
United and Checked off dues from the
wages of it's employees although none
of these contracts contained any pro-
visions for check-off."
That contract was cancelled and one
was signed with the A. F. of l.. provid-
ing the check-off in August, according
to the board, after an A. F. of L. rep
resentative had been called to Mt.
Vernon by officers of the United.

LABOR ASKS FOR
PASSAGE OF WOOL
LABELLING BILL

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). -" "A
poor mans bill that should be passed"
was the description given to the
Schwartz Martin wool labelling bill on
which the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee is holding hearings. The
bill would force manufacturers to dis
close the percentage of reclaimed wool
or shoddy in wool products.
Among the labor representatives
urging the Senate committee to pass
the bill were I. M. Ornburn, secretary
treasurer of the Union Label Trades
Department of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, and Francis ]. German,
president, United Textile Workers of
America.
j. Byron Wilson, representing the
National Wool Growers Association,
attacked the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers opposition to the
bill as not being truly representative
of the opinion of the entire member
ship of that association because 38
members Of the association replied to
circular letter from the New York
City Federation of Womens Clubs
saying they were heartily in favor of
bill of this character"

Columbus, O.-Closely following in
terpretations of recent court decision
and advice of the Federal Social Sc
curity Board, the Ohio Unemployment
Compensation Commission last week
adopted new ruling for the calcula-
tion of weekly wages upon which un-
employment benefits are to be paid.
Under the new ruling, the workers
most recent full-time weekly wage, in
the last completed calendar quarter,
will be used as the basis for determin-
ing his average weekly wage.
In those cases where the average
weekly wage is not determinable on
that basis, the total earnings of the
worker 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 enjoining the commission's s
use of rule which computed the av-
erage wage of the worker on the basis
of actual earnings in all cases.
The court sustained the arguments
of attorneys for the Ohio State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and others that the
rule was not equitable and just, and
held that all claims should be consid-
cred on their individual merits.
All benefit payments which have
been made under the old rule will be
predetermined automatically, and it
will not be necessary for unemployed
workers who have been receiving bene-
fits to file appeals for a new deter
mination Of their claim under the new
rule, the commission announced.
( In many cases, the amount of bene.
fits to unemployed workers will be in.
creased when their wages are com
puted on the basis of the new ruling
the commission said.
The new rule, as adopted by th'
commission, follows:
81. The average weekly wage of al
individual for whose employment
during the whole or part of the periot
defined in section four of this rul
there was established by schedule O
custom or otherwise full-time week

be taken.

Columbus, Ohio. Arbitrarily disre-
garding demand for roll call vote
which would have placed members of
the House Labor Committee in record
for or against the A. F. of L.-spon-
sored state wage-hour law, Chairman
l.. H. Myers, Lima, declared hearings
on the bill indefinitely postponed"
following voice vote last Wednes-
day night.
The chairman previously ruled that
the motion to indefinitely postpone
(kill) the bill, made by Representative
Guy C. Hiner, Canotn, had preceded
a motion made by Representative w.
H. Whetro, Ironton, author of the bill,
to recommend it's passage to the
House.
Demand for the roll call vote was
made by Representative Whetro and
seconded by Representative Joseph
Duffy, Cleveland, but was ignored by
Chairman Myers who called for pro-
tective voice vote, and practically 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 Handful" of written
objections to the bill from employers,
and only one telegram from $50
called labor leader" favoring it's pas
sage.

Wage-Hour Bill Is Killed
Without Record OF Vote;
Measure Is Steam-Rollered
Demand For Roll Call Vote Is Arbitrarily Disregarded;
Labor Representatives Had Favored Bill But En-
ployers And Employing Groups Against It.

He also pointed out to the commit
tee that while only three or four per-
sons, mostly representatives of or
ganized labor" had favored the bill,
the committee had heard 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 Rep
resentative Hiner, leader of the Can
ton League for Law and Order during
recent industrial disputes, was out
spoken in opposition to the measure
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 of five ia
vorable votes could be mustered in
the 15-member committee.
Chairman Myers was outmaneu-
vered in his efforts to kill another la
Dor bill creating state labor rela-
tions act when hearings on the wage
hour law were begun. In keeping
with motion adopted at that time,
hearings are now to resume on the
labor relations bill.

The decree was entered in the fed

der the act and one which had been
expected to be carried through the
courts to final Supreme Court de-

Loan Sharks Are Aided
By Texas Court Ruling

Austin, Tex. (AFLWNS).-The diff
ficulties that municipalities in Texas
experience in protecting their citizens
against loan sharks is reflected in the
decision of the state supreme court
holding unconstitutional an ordinance
designed for this purpose passed by
the city of Fort Worth. The ordi-
nance provided penalties for those who
charge excess interest. The supreme
court held that only the state legis-
lature has the power to provide pun
ishment for those found guilty of
charging extortionate interest rates.

grower and the consuming public are
the real parties at interest in this mat
ter, Mr. Wilson said:
"Woolen manufacturers, jobbers,
garment manufacturers and retail
merchants are solely and simply con-
verters and distributors of wool, and
it is wholly unfair and unjust to the
consuming public and to the producer
of wool that they be permitted to de-
termine under what circumstances and
by what representations they shall
sell their products under the general
name of wool"
The highlight came when Curt E.
Forstmann, president of the Forst-
mann Woolen Company, appearing in
support of the bill, put on three
suit act" that stumped the committee
members as we'll as the onlookers.
Declaring that the difference in cost
of materials between a mans suit
made of fine virgin wool and one made
of reclaimed wool or shoddy is only
50, Mr.. Forstmann showed the COM
mittee three suits, one made of all vir-
gin wool, another of all reclaimed
wool, and another of half virgin wool
and half reclaimed wool. He chal-
lenged anybody to tell from examina-
tion of the suits which was which.
The demonstration was intended to
show how easy it is to fool the con-
sumner and, consequently, the neces-
sity of labelling wool products for the
protection of the consumer. 1t served
it's purpose we'll, for as yet, no one has
accepted Mr.. Forstmann's challenge.
Grange Backs Bill
National Grange, through Frederick
Brenckman, it's Washington repre-
sentative, heartily endorsed the bill.
Stressing the necessity for immedi-
ate enactment of the Schwartz Martin
bill Brenckman said, "there is no dis
pute whatever as to the relative
merits of virgin wool and reclaimed
wool. Virgin wool is a new, unused
fabric having qualities of warmth and
of wear which no other fabric pos
sesses.
Reclaimed wool is an inferior, Sec
ond-hand, previously manufactured OF
used substitute for virgin wool. Re-
claimed wool never makes a product
as good as if it were made of virgin
wool. Surely the purchaser or the
consumer is entitled to know whether
he is buying a new or secondhand
article"
'T recall" he continued, "when the
fight for the enactment of this legisla
tion was in progress, the late DR.
Harvey w. Wiley, who became the
outstanding figure in the crusade
used to say, Put it on the label!' PUT
1T ON THE LABELp Let the people
know whether they are buying cloth
ing in fabrics made of honest virgin
wool or whether they are getting
shoddy made from reclaimed wool ant
old rags picked up from the ash heap
of America and Europe by scaven
gers"

WACE-HOUR LAW
GETS INDICTMENT
OF FIRM in EAST

Boston (ILNS)-In the first GRIM
inal proceedings under the Fair La
Dor Standards Act, federal grand
Jury indicted the Brown Stitching
Contract Company, of Lawrence, and
it's treasurer for alleged violation of
the act.
The company and Treasurer Nathan
Brown were charged with failing to
paw minimum wages and with falsi-
fying company records to conceal this
failure.
The grand jury reported to Federal
Judge George C. Sweeney after hear
ing evidence presented by Assistant
u. S. Attorney General Joseph r..
Brill of Washington.
Forty Witnesses Heard
The treasurer and the company, a
Massachusetts, corporation, were
charged in the indictment with not
paying employees the legal 25-cent-an-
hour minimum wage The company,
which employs about 300 workers,
stitches women's shoes for factories
in three states.
Each of the indictments four counts
represented different type of offense.
Forty witnesses, mostly girls, testi-
fed before the grand jury.
It charged that employees were in
structed to punch time cards in such a
manner as would show that they
worked fewer hours than they actually
did. This was done, according to the
Indictment, so that time cards would
show that the piece work apparently
was paid at the rate of 25 cents an
hour
False Records Charged
The second count charged defend
ants with keeping false records OF
hours worked by employees. The thirc
charged failure to keep true records
as required by law, and the fourth
charged them with shipping inter
state goods made by underpaid EN-
ployes.
