Factory Jobs. PdYrolls
Cain In New York State

Albany, N. Y.-(AFLWNS).-New
York state factories employed 2.9 per
cent more workers in August than in
July and total weekly wages were in
creased by AZ per cent during the
same period, Industrial Commissioner
Frieda S. Miller reports. Although
the major portion of these net gains
was caused by seasonal expansion in
the clothing and millinery shops, gen.
eral improvement was also noted in
most other industries. Seasonal cur
tailment, however, was reported by
several food products industries.
The gains in August were greater
than the average seasonal increases
from July to August of 0.8 per cent
in forces and 1.8 per cent in payrolls
over the last 25, years. Compared
with August a year ago, 8.4 per cent
more workers were employed this
August on a total weekly payroll that
was 1877 per cent higher.
The New York State Department Of
Labor's index of factory employment,
based on the average of the years,
1925-1927 as 100, rose to $50, the
highest point recorded this year.

The strike started when the COM

local, although it was admitted that
the union represented large ma jor-
ity of the workers.
To hinder recognizing the A. F. of
L. union the Upgrade Corporation
started negotiations with their own
company union.
But the strike, which was aided by
the international office of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and all of the

persuaded the management of the
company that union recognition was
the best way to deal with wages,

Workers Ensluved
In Nuzi Germany
Imprisonment Is Penalty For
Those Who Resent
Hitlers DEGREES

(By A. F. of l.. Weekly News Service)
According to reliable information,
the status of the workers in Nazi
Germany is rapidly being lowered to
that Of convicts under sentence Of
penal servitude.
Here are instances taken from the
bulletin of the International Fedora
ton of Trade Unions, whose headquar-
ters are in Paris, France, of Nazi
sion of Poland and the declaration Of
war against Germany by Great Brit
ain and the French Republic.
In the textile industry Of Silesia all
the workers were ordered to report
for medical examination.
Eight hundred were then selected
and sent to work on Notifications in
East Prussia. They lived in huts,
were badly fed, and worked a twelve
hour day for mere pittance.
In one group of 120 men, 25 per
cent had to be sent to hospitals after
the first few days of the work.
Workers in another district who re-
fused to go to East Prussia were ar
rested and kept for a week in cells at
police headquarters.
Then they were sent in prison cars
to the port of Settin, and thence by
sea to East Prussia.
At big railway stations the sight
of these men in chains aroused muir
murs of disgust. One woman who had
expressed herself emphatically was at
once arrested.
In a textile works in Saxony, en-
gagged on army contracts, the workers
often have to lose from two to four
hours daily on account Of the short
age of raw materials.
This waiting time is not paid for,
and as notice was taken Of repre-
sentations by the workers, a partial
strike took place.
The management called in the Ges-
tapo, and l20 workers were taken for
forced labor on the Notifications in
the West. Similarly, when the turn
ers in metal works objected to
wage cut Of from Is per cent to 20
per cent, they were dismissed and
sent to an unknown destination.

Material Workers Local Union No.
20298, A. F of L. affiliate, struck here
against the low-wage policy of the
California Cedar Products Company
and the Gulf Red Cedar Company.
Union officials said the local asked
the employers to raise the wage scale
in the lower brackets. The union de-
manded an increase from so to 60
cents an hour for men and from 371a
to 45 cents an hour for women.
The management of both the COM
panies "flatly refused to in any way
consider even the slightest improve
ment in our deplorably low wage
SCALE" union spokesman said. The
only answer to this refusal was to
strike. The walkout completely tied
up both plants.

SHAVIAN SANITY

American publicists have adopted
the habit of greeting every cryptic
utterance of George Bernard Shaw,
the antique Irish-British playwright,
as a publicity stunt. Shaw has given
sufficient reason in his numerous jibes
obviously designed maliciously to
puncture American self sufficiency
and needle our editors into innocently
defending home and country, to
Shaw's probable delight.
Shaw's comment on the still-pend-
ing European war, however, is not so
light-hearted. Everybodys ready to
slaughter his neighbors, he observes.
"Why? Am l mad?" he asked. The
answer is that he isn't, but that most
Of Europe is.-St. Louis Star-Times.
