METAL TRADES SIGN
UP SHELTER WORKS
(By A. F. of L. weekly News servioe)

(By A. E. of L. Weekly News Service)
Ell Paso, Texas.-The unions COM
posing the Ell Paso Metal Trades
Council, an affiliate of the Metal
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor, are well pleased
with the agreement fnalized by the
council with the Ell Paso Smelter
Works, operated by the American
Smelter and Refining Company.
According to the statement by w.
F. Brockmoller, president of the coun-
Gil, the agreement provides for strict
adherence to seniority, increases the
wages of common labor and other
low-pay classifications, establishes a
42-hour and 44-hour work week, and
sets up a grievance committee to
handle all disputes arising under the
terms of the contract.
The agreement is effective for one
year with the exception of the wage
section, which is subject to change
every four months. 1t was stated that
this provision was inserted in view of
the fact that the condition of the
metal market and mine output has an
influence on wages, and that a GER
tain amount of fexibility was neces-
sary in the agreement to meet this
contingency.
The unions affected by the agree
ment are: engineers, smelter workers
boilermakers machinists, sheet metal
workers, electricians, blacksmiths
painters, truck drivers, plumbers anc
steamftters.

Congress will have chance to show
it's calibre when it considers amend
ments to the National Labor Relations
Act proposed by the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
The amendments have been care
fully drawn to promote fairer and
better administration of the act.
They call for real consideration and
study, temperate and thorough dis
cussion, action in an atmosphere OF
reason and common sense.
There will undoubtedly be thunder
on the left" when they come up for
hearing and approval.
Members of Congress can show eff
ficient working of democracy by dis

changes.
Millions of people, with the World
War tragedy in mind, must have felt
a great sense of relief when President
Roosevelt categorically denied he had

The Presidents denial gave added
point to the demand for publicity in

If there had been more frankness
on what took place at the meeting
between the President and the Senate
Foreign Affairs Committee, the re-
port Mr.. Roosevelt called the Rhine

Eggs are rationed in Germany; to
get more than a taste of them, and
especially to get those from Denmark,
they must be prescribed by doctors.
Chinese eggs, forming most of the

Milk is a luxury; no full account OF

out of Germany; but it is known to
be there. Germany had good crops

A story was going the rounds the

On the surface of things, the future
looks dark for democracy in Europe.
Only a quarter of Spain is left under
the government which two-thirds OF
the Spaniards voted for. This con-
quest for Fascism has not been made
entirely by Spaniards. 1t has been
made with the help of Mussolini and
Hitler. who have furnished much of
the troops and the war machinery
which Gen. Franco, rebel leader, has
used. And when that conquest is fin
ished, France will be open to attack
from three sides.
But when one looks little farther,
there is much more ground for hope.
1t has been known for weeks that
the Sudetenland wrenched from
Czechoslovakia has been white ele-
phant to Germany That is highly
industrialized region, whose manufac-
lures once had plentiful foreign mar
ket. But Germany does not want
those goods, and cannot sell them from
Germany. The foreign nations which
formerly bought are not buying.
You may remember the phrase in
Hitler's last speech: Germany will
export or die" He meant, of course,
that somebody else should die. But
profitable exports that will buy for
eign food cannot be carried on bomb
laden planes.
There is actually a project in Ber.
lin to hand back the Sudeten area te
Czechoslovakia. At present, food has
to be imported to feed the Sudetens
and they have not enough export:
with which to buy. That this handing
back would be coupled by a Thousand

PICKETING CASE TO
US. S.SUPREME COURT

New York City (ILNS). - The
American Civil Liberties Union is
planning to appeal to the U. S. Su-
preme Court the decision of the Wis
consin Supreme Court upholding the
constitutionality of the Milwaukee
anti-leafet ordinance. The court re-
jected the contention that arrests of
pickets for distributing handbills is
an abridgement of free press and free
speech.
The case involved "a members of

A. F. of L. affiliate, found guilty of
violating the ordinance during strike

found the ordinance invalid, but the
decision was reversed in the Circuit

The State Supreme Court held the
the Milwaukee statute was intended
only to avoid littering the streets with
cast-off handbills and that the U. s.
Supreme Court decision in the Griffin
Ca, case implied that such regugla-
ton was not unconstitutional. The
court also declared that the state labor

laws and good labor administration,
which make for prevention of indus

"Just as it is true that plague
destroying wheat fields takes bread
out of the mouths not only of those
who till the soil, but of all who eat
so it is true that a strike or shut
down which silences the wheels of in
dustry undermines the strength, not
only of workers and employees who
are made idle, but of the grocer, the
butcher, the banker and the clerk"
Which is just common sense way
of saying it. Miss Miller deals with
the state labor laws as if dealing
with those of a nation-and indeed
it is an open question if Belgium OF

Tug-of-war between Congress and

"The great battle cry of the die

Al. OF |. NOT
TO OPPOSE PLAN
OF ADMITTANCE

Miami (ILNS). - The American
Federation of Labor Executive Coun-
Gil, in session here, agreed not to op-
pose a plan to bring 10000 refugee
children from Germany under Is
years of age into the United States.
President William Green announced
that the council could not affirmatively
support the plan, having in mind the
unemployment situation here and this
country's restricted immigration stat
utes, but because of "humane consid-
erations," it had been decided not to
object to the plan, which is supported
by the Quakers and representatives of
other churches.
The A. F. of L. head said he was
asked by Senator Wagner to take the
matter up with the executive council.
Green explained the plan would not
conflict with the immigration and
quota restrictions and would not ne
cessitate changes, which the A. F. of
L. strongly opposes.

ing on an application for charter

TIME FOR A DIAGNOSIS

Labor would like to have a capable
group of physicians, psychological
specialists preferred, confer on those
Senators and Congressman who orig
mated and drove through the cuts
in the w. P A. relief, and find out
what makes them tick.
Even Herbert Hoover, while Secre-
tary of Commerce, could understand
that public works could make up to
some extent for private unemploy-
ment. He didn't stick to this ra-
tional faith through his presidency;
but that wasn't the fault of the faith.
It just wasn't tried. Even in a de-
preston there are some variations of
employment; but every month of each
year of the Hoover regime, there were
fewer jobs than the same month the
year before.
The New Deal first stopped the
downslip. Then it began with work
relief. Everything had to be done
anew; but there was pretty steady
uprise. By 1886, there was a perfect
clamor of demand that Big Business
could do the whole job, now, and that
relief should be cut.
1t was cut And business began
to go down, and down, and it didn't
start up till the federal government
renewed it's work; and now, in the
face of that double or rather triple
demonstration, Congress slashes
S15O,0O0,O0O from the work fund in
winter.
How do folks get that way? There's
no difficulty about the has-beens and
the die-hards; they're built that way
But how does the mine-run of Con
gressmen and Senators; intelligent
educated, anxious to give their people
better time, how came they to
shave eaten on the insane root,
"That takes the reason prisoner !?

Believe It Or Not

It is hard to believe by some people that newspaper adver- Using does pay-why, just thlnk of it-a pair of eye glasses were lost on the street few days ago, picked up and given to the Nome Nugget who inserted a small lost advertisement in one issue, last Wednesday afternoon. The same evening the telephone rang ask ing about the glasses. the follow ing morning the party interested, obtained the lost glasses. It so happened that the party who lost them, had taken a plane for Fair banks to attend the Carnival. The glasses were sent the next day via plane to the owner at Fairbanks, who no doubt will be surprised as well as glad to re- ceive them.
 This is only one of the many lost and found articles which year after year are advertised in the Nome Nugget and return ed to their owners. Hundreds of dollars in value are in this way returned every year.
 
 We recall another instance where a young lady arrived in Nome from the outlying sections. She was leaving via steamer in a day or two for Seattle, she dropped her purse in the morn ing containing her ticket and sev eral hundred dollars in currency. An advertisement was placed in The Nugget and in less than 10 hours the purse was returned to the Nugget Office and the lady received it without a single thing missing.
 We are now advertising for the return of a wrist watch, lost in the snow on the street near Mays Tavern. It sometimes hap pens the article is not very ex- pensive, but the owner may have some personal regard for the ar ticle. such as a gift, etc. and are desirious of getting it back.
