Private Industry Now the Rustler

At the time of the passage Of the emer-
gency WPA appropriation or what is COM
monty termed the Woodrum Amendment
and which heightened the hours on WPA
from those formerly enjoyed under the pre-
vailing scale Of wages to 130 hours indis-
criminately it was apparently the vain hope
and vision of the national administration
even including the President that many of
the problems facing the WPA would be
solved Like many other acts which have
been passed and which will continue to be
passed by the United States Congress, both
the House and Senate, the reaction or the
consequences Of these visions are blindly
brushed aside or cannot be seen by many
of the stupid members of both houses. When
the Woodrum Amendment was passed the
corporate interests and employing groups
thought that men and women on WPA would
be forced out of government employment
into private industry. Instead of that, how
ever, it has had the opposite effect
Persons who were employed on the WPA
at the time of the new law and who are still
working under it have now no chance to go
into private industry even if they so desired.
IL lido DSCl4 IllC ONbJ olN VIC I'LL
pleasant necessity of working people to
rustic jobs from the Anaconda Company and
other employing companies.
Now, the government itself has become
the rustler Men and women working for
the WPA under the 130 hour schedule are
bound down to the work They haven't any
opportunity to rustic a private job They
can't 60 and rustic in the mines. They can't
go anywhere else to seek job because they
haven't time All of their time is taken up
in the WPA. Hence, instead of the new law
making it possible for the workers under
WPA to secure Jobs in private industry they
have really prohibited them from doing SO.
Private industry is now doing the rustling.
If man wanted to get job in the mines he
must either quit the WPA or at least lay off
one day. If he lays off day, that amounts
to couple Of dollars more or less which
under a pay Of $48 month cannot possibly
be allowed
If he doesn't want to lay off the day, he
must quit entirely, then he is faced with the
situation that he may not get a job in the
mines. When once he quits the WPA he
cannot get back SO he is in dilemma any
way he turns.
The Congress of the United States certain
ly passed a beautiful measure to help the
working people and private industry.

Letter Carriers March Ahead

The definite advantages of organization for
Postal Service employees were well set forth
in the report of President Edward j. Gainor
of the National Letter Carriers Association,
A. F. of L. affiliate, to the thirty-first con-
vention of the Association recently held at
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the city where the
Association was established so years ago at
a convention attended by go delegates repre-
senting 80 cities.
With regard to the membership of the
National Association of Letter Carriers Mr..
Gainor reported that on March Is, 1899, it
"had reached the impressive total Of 64,241,
with the probability that it would top $4,000
by the time the convention met. Twelve
years ago the members totaled only $1,000,
and two years ago reached 62,287. So the
1899 figure of $4,000 is something to be
proud of.
The finances of the Letter Carriers are
also in a thriving condition Mr.. Gainor's
report revealed that for the two years ended
June 30, 1889, the receipts were 1894, 4,O03.16,
as compared with 1928, 1879 for the pre-
ceding two years.
In the field of protection for its members
with life insurance and sick benefits the
record Of the Letter Carriers Association is
commendable. The Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton organized 48 years ago paid out on life
insurance claims 1892, ,313.97 during the past
two years At present the balance in the
insurance fund is $2,683, ,35O13 compared
with 81 1,622,678 in 1927.
The National Sick Benefit Association, or
ganized in 1905 to protect members against
disability arising from either illness or acci-
dent, now covers "a, ,465 members. During
the past two years benefits totaling $321,
O5503 were paid. Since its organization, the
N. S. B. A. disbursements in benefits have
amounted to $3,32727927
Mr. Gainor paid high tribute to the State
Associations of Letter Carriers which are
now set up in practically every state. These
Associations he said, provide 'the means
and the opportunity for men who might
otherwise never meet to know and esteem
each other, and to gather in helpful confer
ence" He also commended the National
Ladies Auxiliary, organized "a years ago,
which, he said, deserves our friendly CO.
operation and earnest support and we should
Montana labor news., 1939-10-05

tender them freely and gladly"
With respect to legislation beneficial to the
postal workers, Mr. Gainor included S75O,0O0
increased appropriation for letter carriers
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1899; the
Romjue bill granting postal employees credit
for Saturday in annual and sick leave law,
and the Haines bill granting substitutes in
the Postal Service the same rights and bene-
fits with respect to annual and sick leave that
accrue to regular employees.
Long life and many happy returns to the
National Association of Letter Carriersl
Montana labor news., 1939-10-05

ing with the executive board to give
it further consideration.
Delegate Davey, reporting for the
WPA committee on lost time during
the recent protest strike, reported
that those having time would be
allowed to make up time in the
amounts scheduled during the time
that they were on strike and that
October 10 would be the dead line
for making application to make up
time lost, forms to be had at the
local WPA office.
President Steinmetz stated that he
had been in conference with the
building inspector and some of the
city aldermen regarding the case of
Mr.. Molyneaux who has been re-
fused an o. K. on his building due
to the fact that he had installed all
his own electrical work and plumb
ing and that this work was now
under cover and had not been in
stalled by any licensed plumbers or
electricians, and that it appeared as
though the City Building Code
would be brought up for test.
After considerable discussion a
committee of five composed Of
Schwerdt, Hendrickson, Dunlop,
James Evan, and Baxter were ap-
pointed to confer with the city
council at their next meeting and
render them their support and urge
upon them that they insist upon
strict compliance of the City Build
ing Codes.
At this time Mr.. Joe Dzibi of the
Kalispell Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, being present was introduced
and thanked the Assembly for their
kind support since their council had
been organized in Kalispell.
Mr.. Dzibi also called attention to
a ruling of the Unemployment Com
pensation Board wherein members
of unions on strike would not be
eligible for unemployment compen-
sation. This matter was gvien con-
siderable discussion and it appears
as if this ruling is to apply to all
members of a union who may have
part of their members on strike and
that it may be necessary to inaug-
urate a test case to find out just
how far such a ruling could go.

ON THE (ApITAL'S(UFF

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-It is GO
ing to be hard job to keep the U. S.
out of it, but the job can be done.
As this is written there is still no
convincing evidence that a major
European war has started. There
can be no doubt about the invasion
of Poland, but what has happened
on the western front?
If a serious offensive against Ger
many has been launched there, the
proof is certainly lacking. The Nazi
reports that not shot has been
fired may be discounted, but it is
doubtful whether the opposing in
fantrymen are enjoying daily swims
together in the Rhine.
But one may also be skeptical
about the French reports of sub
stantial progress in the invasion of
German territory. 1t still looks like
England and France are not burning
up the roads to the trenches.
This situation may change within
relatively few days. There may
be full-fledged European war, one
that is primarily conflict between
rival imperialisms rather than be-
tween rival political philosophers.
And in that case, where do we
come in?

Leaders of both the AFL and CLIO
have recently reminded the U. S.
that this nation should enlist for the
duration of one war-the war to
exterminate unemployment. So far
the country has hardly scored any
smashing victories.
Pres. John Green of the Industrial
Union of Marine and Shipbuilding
Workers (CIO) neatly summed up
the labor viewpoint in an address
before the union convention at Jer-
sey City on Sept. 8.
1T is a sad commentary on the
rulers of the world" he said, that
the only employment they can find
for the working people is in the
wholesale destruction of their fellow
men.
Our country is not safe from fas-
cism so long as our own economic
and political system is so drastically
out of balance And while our own
economy is unable to provide a de-
cent living for all the people, de-
spite our huge resources and over
abundance of energy and technical
equipment, our soil will be ripe for
