Several From D. T..
Flee European War
On East Indian Boat
Attempts to Talk With
Jovonese Walters Was
Biggest Problem

Several Washingtonians had a
tale to tell today-of leaving war
torn Europe, of travelling aboard a
low-lying steamer with sunporch
decks, of Javanese walters with
batique turbans and bare feet
A far cry from any Queen Mary
or Normandie was the good ship
Johan van Oldenbarnevelt when she
sailed into New York Harbor Satur-
day with her 634 passengers, most of
them Americans fleeing the worlds
war center.
Aboard were Maynard o. Will
liams, staff writer for the National
Geographic Magazine; his photog-
rapher, B. Anthony Stewart, and
DR.. r. Lyman Sexton, prominent
Washington physician.
The steamer, built in 1890 for the
Netherland Line of the Royal Dutch
Mail, customarily plies between Hol-
land and the East Indian waters but
was chartered for transport of
stranded Americans on 48 hours
notice while tied up at Amsterdam.
80 Taken on at Southampton.
From that port she departed with
554 passengers August 80 and picked
up 80 more at Southampton, all of
whom had obtained their passage at
the last moment. She carried no
cargo and was ready to turn about
for Holland today preparatory to a
regular voyage to more familiar
waters in the East.
Her JavaneSe crew, visiting New
York for the first time, caused Man.
hattanites to cape with awe as they
stepped from the steamers open
decks.
Mr.. Williams, two weeks ago to-
day, was arguing with French CEN
sors in his attempts to get unde-
veloped films of Graeco-Roman
scenes across the country. He ar
rived in France just as the no I'M
developed films shall pass order
went into effect.
Tony (his photographer would
have given up his life before he
would have allowed those films to be
harmed" Mr.. Williams said, adding
that after running the gantlet of
official red tape. he obtained a spe-
cial permit to take them across the
country.
Orders Given by Numbers.
DR.. Sexton said the Javanese
stewards and walters could speak
no English or any familiar European
langue so all food orders had to be
given by numbers. But all in all,
they gave us excellent service" he
commented, land we had a COM
Portable crossing"
DR.. Sexton. too, brought films
through France. but he experienced
no such difficulties as those that
plagued Mr. Williams and his COM
panion. DR.. Sections were color
movies taken during his travels in
Italy and Switzerland.
He had been in Europe to deliver
a scientific paper before the Ameri-
can Dental Society at Lausanne,
Switzerland.
DR.. Sexton also caught the Johan
van Oldenbarnevelt at Amsterdam
after making the last train out of
Paris. He said the steamer was
conveyed through the English
Channel by Dutch submarine.

Chicago Labor Fights
Anti-Union Injunction

Chicago, III. ADMINISTRATORS
neys representing the Chicago Fedora
tion of Labor and the Illinois State
Federation of Labor, A. +. of l.. aftili-
ates, petitioned the Appellate court
here to review a decision limiting the
right of organized labor to picket.
Late in December the Appellate
court issued an injunction restraining
the Hairdressers and Cosmetologists'
Union, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, from picketing
beauty shop. Testimony indicated
that no strike had been called against
the beauty shop and that the employ
er had no dispute with his employees,
who were not union members. The
picketing, it was claimed, was design
ed to persuade the employees to join
the union.
The court held that the State labor
Injunction law does not authorize
picketing under such circumstances
and enjoined the union from continu-
ing it.
the union, assisted by the Chicago
Federation Of Labor and the State
Federation of Labor, asked the rehear-
ing on the ground that the injunction
interferes with the constitutional right
of freedom of speech.

business of the evening was the read

First Vice President f.. l.. Wheatley.
This took a considerable amount of

the time and effort they have put in.
We hope to have the pact signed by
the Trenton Potteries Co. and the

in the proper direction. We know
where we stand; what we must live up
to, and feel that the company, as well

German Idle Suffer
Homework Slavery
Unlimited Hours. Low Wug.
es. Child Labor. Imposed
BY Ndzi Employers

Paris, France. The intOlerable
home work conditions imposed on the
unemployed workers in Nazi Germany
are revealed in a statement by the In
formation Service of the Foreign Bu-
reau of the German Trade Unions pub
lished by the International Federation
of Trade Unions here.
'The Labor Exchanges in Germany
were instructed to put unemployed
workers who had difficulty in finding
work onto road building or fortifica-
ton work." the statement said. "Those
who declined this work were refused
benefit. Many workers tried to avoid
being sent away to the Notifications
by not attending for their benefit or
by stating that they had found
casual work or home work.
"As a matter of fact the demand
for home work has increased consider
ably and the situation Of home work
ers becomes steadily worse. Employ
ers in the ready-made clothing, shoe
and tobacco industries have been quick
to realize the advantage for them, and
continue to reduce wages.
ain some cases machines have even
been stopped and production carried
on through home work. Owing to the
steady underwriting Of wages by those
in search Of work, home work done by
hand is more profitable for the en-
ployers than work by machinery.
"The bad conditions in the home
work trades which were done away
with by the trade unions in the post
war period are again in existence.
Working for unlimited hours, with the
children and old people all contribut-
ing their part, whole family can only
earn starvation wages.
"ln order to find more workers for
the fortitication and rearmament work
raids were made to collect all persons
capable of work. This resulted in a
slight decrease in workers on home
work, but the bad wages are still in
force and the German Labor Front
takes absolutely no interest in this
problem"

Majestic Flour Mills
Fired AFL Union Men
NLRB Examiner Recommends Aurora
Firm Reinstate With Back Pay
Al Victimized Employees

Aurora, Mo. (AFLWNS). - Trial
Examiner Peter F. Ward of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board recon-
mended in an intermediate report
that the Majestic Flour Mills, Of
Aurora, reinstate with back pay Al
employees found to have been locked
out and refused employment during
the summer Of 1895, and upon request
to bargain collectively with Federal
Labor Union No. 20O28, an A. F. Of
l.. affiliate, as the sole bargaining
agency of the production and mainten-
ance employees.
The Trial Examiner found that in
July and August, 1885, the company
had refused to bargain with the A. F..
Of l.. union, (Which represented ap-
proximately 70 per cent of it's en-
ployes, and had shut down the plant
on August 20, 1886, in an effort to dis
courage union membership" The union
was organized shortly after a strike
on June 5, 1885, and a charter from
the American Federation of Labor
was granted under date of June IL,
1885.
Solid Front Against Union
The A. F. of l.. unions attempts to
bargain with the company were of no
avail. There was a futile effort to ad-
Just the dispute by committee of the
Aurora Chamber Of Commerce. The
Trial Examiner found from the rec
ords that the Committee of Three be-
came to all intents and purposes the
agent and ally of respondent in the
latter's effort to bring about the de-
struction of the union"
Later the union members voted to
return in a body, waving a written
contract and union recognition. The
company refused to take the workers
back in body but accepted individual
applications for unemployment from
the workers, thus attempting to make
them surrender their rights Of en-
ployment under the National Indus
trial Act, which was then in effect.
Only few returned.
Following this bludgeoning of the
A. f. of l.. union the company per-
suaded Federal District Court to en-
join the Labor Board from further
proceedings in the case. 1t was not
until December, 1887, that the Labor
Board issued an amended complaint
against the company charging viola
ton of the National Labor Relations
Act Hearings were held on the COM
plant during June and July, 1888, and
from the evidence presented the Trial
Examiner made the recommendation
providing reinstatement of the Al en-
ployes and recognition of the A. F.
of l.. union.
The Majestic Flour Mills pro-
duction, the Labor Board said, saver
ages about 1860 barrels of flour and
mill products a day. The company's
market includes the States of Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Alabama and other
Southern States. The Dixie Portland
Flour Company, owned and controlled
by the present company, with it's main
office at Memphis, Tennessee, and a
branch office at Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, acts as purchasing agent for
the company's Aurora Mills"

A. F. L. Prevented Pay Cuts
During 1888. Says
President
DEMOCRACY STRANGER
Fdith In American Institu-
tons Is Aided BY Op-
preston Abroad

Washington, ID. C.-Confident that
the Improvement in economic condi-
tions will continue during 1889, Will
liam Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, said in a New
Year statement that widespread re-
ductions in wages during 1888 were
prevented by the militant efforts of
the A. F. of l.. implemented by agree
ments with employers, and that high
er wages, shorter hours and more jobs
for the unemployed workers were in
cluded in the Federation's program for
1889.
He deplored the continued persecu-
tion Of minorities by some of the gov
ernments in Europe and Asia and en-
phasized the fact that the existence
of the prosecutions abroad were con-
slant proofs of the validity of the
American Government and American
institutions.
The text of Mr.. Green's statement
follows:
Conditions of Labor Improved
Labor faces the New Year with
renewed confidence in the economic fu-
ture of our nation and in the ideals
for which it stands.
"A year ago we were caught in the
midst of new and unexpected de-
preston. Unemployment was increas-
ing by leaps and bounds. Pay cuts
threatened many workers who were
fortunate enough to retain their jobs.
Prospects were decidedly gloomy. At
that time we predicted conditions
would begin to improve toward the
end of 1888.
"The prediction has now come true.
Business is picking up. Unemployment
is being reduced gradually, but stead
lily. Through the efforts of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor pay cuts,
disastrous to the nation as we'll as to
labor, have been for the most part
avoided. Union membership in the
American Federation of Labor is in
creasingly rapidly.
More Jobs For Workers
Labor has obtained thousands of
new contracts with employers guar
anteeing industrial democracy, higher
wages and shorter hours.
"We are still confronted with SER
ious unemployment situation and other
grave economic problems, but the gen
eral picture has frightened consider
ably and there is definite basis for
hope of further improvement in the
coming year.
Prosecutions Deplored
Cali of US have been immeasurably
saddened by tragic developments in
Europe and Asia.
"We have read about the suffering
caused by barbaric oppression and
persecution with growing amazement
that such things could happen in this
supposedly civilized age. Yet these
very tragedies have strengthened our
adherence to American principles, re-
inforced our faith in American ideals
