Measure May Be
Revived In House
Compromise Measure Intro
duced By Hurnl Of
Cleveland
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-A modified form of
labor's requested regulation of the
issuance of injunctions in labor dis
putes showed signs of renewed life in
the Judiciary Committee of the House
of Representatives last week as a
roundup of the nine votes necessary to
recommend it for passage was quietly
begun by House leaders.
Substitute House Bill 16, offered by
legislative and administration leaders
as compromise for the original meas
ure introduced by Representative Lody
Huml, Cleveland, has remained in
active in the Judiciary Committee
since its rejection by labor leaders
several weeks ago.
The substitute bill DEGREES that no
Injunction shall be issued during a
labor dispute without a hearing in
open court, but provides none of the
definitions and other specific restrict
ions contained in the original measure
sponsored by labor, which is identical
with the Federal Norris -LaGuardia
Act.
Republican leaders have said that
the substitute bill would be passed,
fulfilling platform pledge of the
Party to labor.
Another labor measure was arbi-
trarily referred to subcommittee of
the House Codes Committee last week
by Chairman William H. Dedens, Gin
cinnati, following short hearing at
which only proponents of the bill were
heard
House Bill 500, introduced by Rep
resentative Martin Blum, Cleveland,
proposed to license and regulate the
plastering and lathing industry, but
suffered the fate of similar proposals
for the contracting and painting in
dustries, which are reposing in sub
committees, although little or no op-
position to them was offered in the
hearings.
Speaking for favorable consider
alton of House Bill 369, in addition to
Representative Blum, were John Room

dressed the membership.
Mr.. Murphy gave talk on the way
legislators handle labor legislation. He
presented the names Of men who are
and who are not favorable to labor
1t is his belief that if labor wants
to get anywhere in the state of New
Jersey more combined effort must
be made. Mr.. Murphy has compiled a
pamphlet which contains description
of every labor bill now before the
State Legislature. This is in line with
his contention that labor must have
a knowledge of what is being done for
and against them by the law makers.
He made a plea for the local men,
bership to write the representatives to
urge them to vote favorably on AS
sembly Bill No. 6, the Anti-injunction
Bill; Bill No. So, which defines a la
Dor dispute; Bill No. Ga, which would
establish a Labor Mediation Board,
and Assembly Bill No. 72, the Labor
Relations Bill. He concluded his talk
by praising Local No. SO for affilating
with the State A. F. of l..
The chairman Of the Agreement
Committee read the contract as was
adopted by the Fords Porcelain Works
and with the aid of Brother John So
Ion, representing the Executive Board,
the propositions were given a good
airing. 1t was finally approved with
the exception Of one item which in the
opinion Of Brother Jim, could be ironed
out with the firm.
A resolution was adopted regarding
the use Of union-made sanitary fix
lures in the various public works jobs
that are being done throughout Mid
dlesex County. Copies Of the resolu-
tion were sent to the Central Labor
Union, the Master Plumbers of Perth
Amboy and the Board Of Freeholders.
1t was brought out at the meeting that
the Girls Vocational School which is
nearly completed was furnished with
material from non-union shops. The
Freeholders guaranteed US that only
union made material would be used

The management of the park has

A change in the neutrality law
might be interpreted as abandonment

Changes Now Opposed
Workers, remembering the expert
ences Of the last war, are firm in thei,
determination to preserve peace fol
the United States, Scharrenberg said
The statement follows:
"The American Federation of Labo,
has endorsed the principles upon
which the Neutrality Act was based
That neutral nation has obligations
as we'll as rights and that the muni-

concern. We, do not believe this is

for any change in this legislation

to do its part in maintaining peace
between nations that in my opinion We
should do everything possible to avoie

remain aloof from the controversies
of other countries.
"WOrkers Want Peace"
"The workers Of the United States
want peace. We went through the
World War, doing our full part. The
lessons of that experience have con-
vinced US that world problems can be
solved only under conditions of peace
and through the instrumentalities of
peace. The working people of this
country are firm in their desire to
avoid ENHANCEMENT in the intrigues of
nations seeking aggrandizement of
territories or protection of the gains
of former aggression.
"We believe that the present Neu-
trality Law has served the interests
of peace between nations and that it
should be continued as it was enacted
in 1887.
American Labor is disturbed by

One of the major objects of the

onal Union of Progressive Mine Work
ers Of America, affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor, in open
letters sent to Secretary of Labor
Perkins and members Of the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor
which is considering amendments to
the Labor Relations Act.
Claiming that the miners in the
Appalachian fields resent Lewis's die
tatorship and have joined the Prog
ressive Mine Workers to such an ex-
tent that it has a majority in PA
mines in that area, employing between
$4,000 and 100000 men, Mr.. Ozanic
warned that if the Federal Govern
ment yielded to pressure and inter-
vened in the bituminous coal tie--up,
the interests of the A. F. of L. affiliate
must be protected.
The sole purpose Of the tie-up, Mr..
Ozanic charged, is to circumvent re-
cent ruling by trial examiner Of the
National Labor Relations Board and
to force the coal operators to drive
their employees into the C. l. o. United
Mine Workers irrespective of the wish
es Of the workers.
Mr.. Ozanic's letter follows:

Company Unions
Banned ByA.F.
AcfAmendmenfs
NLRB Has Used Company
Union Section Of Act To
Weaken Federation

When the National Labor Relations
Act became Federal statute law in
1886 the American Federation of La
bor believed that the phraseology de-
signed to end the existence of COM
pany unions would bring about the
abolition of these monstrous anti
labor excresences imposed on our in
dustrial system by subversive employ
erS.
But the National Labor Relations
Board in it's opposition to the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor has, by ar
bitrary and unwarranted interpreta-
tion of the terlninology of the Act,
used the company union section to
weaken and even destroy A. F. Of l..
unions.
The amendments to the Labor Re-
lations Act proposed by the American
Federation of Labor in the Walsh Bill
definitely and in unmistakable langu-
age prescribe company unions. In it's
recently issued pamphlet explaining
it's amendments the A. F. of l.. re-
viewed the devious methods by which
the Labor Relations Board has inter-
prefer the company union section of
the Act against the American Fedora
tion Of Labor and described the A. F..
of l.. amendments designed to bring
this maladministration to an end. The
Federation said:
Company Unions Prohibited
Company unions" must be elimin-
ated. The present act does not con-
denim company unions in express
terms. In fact the phrase company
union" is not even mentioned. The evil
is only partially met by vague, indirect
language.
Moreover, this language has been
interpreted to the detriment of the in
terests Of the A. F. of L.
1t is still possible under the pres
ent act (indeed it has been so held) for
company union to appear on ballot,
win an election, and be certified by the
Board. At present when a company
union is barred from the ballot it is
only after prolonged proceeding. AS
hereafter shown, our amendments will
remedy this.
Company Unions Defined
The A. F. of l.. amendments make
a fortnight approach to the problem.
We define the term "labor organiza-
ton" so as to expressly exclude "com-
pany unions" from that definition. In
this manner it is made certain that
company unions can obtain none of
the benefits of the Act. Then a new
definition is added to the Act:
"The term company union means
any agency, committee, employees as
sociation or employe representation
plan, which exists for the purpose, in
whole or in part, of dealing with an
employer or employers concerning
grievances or terms or conditions of

Modern Methods In
Meat Cookery
ROASTING A LEG OF LAMB

and so the meat cooks something like
this.
Roast Leg of Lamb: Do not re-
move the fell from the leg of lamb
(the fell is the thin papery covering
on the outside of the lamb). Sprinkle
it with salt and pepper and place it
on a rack in an open roasting pan with
the skin side down and the cut side
up. If the fat covering is thin, lay
strips of bacon across the top. Do
not add water. Make an incision and
insert a roast meat thermometer so
that the bulb reaches the center of
the fleshiest part of the muscle, TAX
ing care that it does not touch fat or
bone. Place the roast in a hot oven
500 F. and scar for 80 minutes, or
less if bacon has been added. When
lightly Drowned, reduce the tempera-
ture to that of slow oven 300 F.
and continue roasting at the low tenn
perature until done. The roast will be
well done when the thermometer reg
listers 1872 F. or slightly under done
at IT'S F. Allow about 80 minutes
per pound for roasting lamb.

RADIANT LIVING
Enjoyment Awaits Us
By Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor of Ridgely Churlh

Rldgely, Md'
There is a great deal Of enjoyment
to be had without the necessity of
paying but little for it. One may
stroll through a dity park enjoying
the cooling shade of welcoming trees.
One may drive along the enchanting
mountain scenery or spend days
outing on the water.
But if we had first to buy that
park and bear the cost of it's upkeep,
or at the cost of billions first lay
down those miles of concrete, or first
purchase a boat, such enjoyments
would never be ours.
How true it is, as we read in the
Scriptures. "Other men labored, and
We are entered into their labors."
Think of the expenditure of thought
the investment of money, the outlay
of physiral labor that have made pos
sible for our enjoyment the city parks,
the endless stretch of motor highways,
the safe and comfortable vessels,
which at little personal cost, bring
to us so much enjoyment.
But far more than the many pleas
ures of the material realm are the
greater and keener delights of that
vast spiritual realm abounding in a
wealth of thrilling appreciation Of
eternal truths.
Declared the Apostle Paul that God
"hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly placed in Christ.
His phrase, call spiritual blessings"
implies "every spiritual blessing" The
number of them is complete. There
is not one lacking of all that is pos
sible for God to create. There they
are! All of them! Waiting for US to
enter into the fullness of their en-
joyment!
AS exclaims a certain spiritual writ
er: 81 feel convinced that for me and
for you there lie ahead undiscovered
continents of spiritual living"
No man, however poor he may be in
the things Of this world need ever
be lacking in the keen enjoyment Of
glorious spiritual realities.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1939-09-22
The poor wise man"

~ NOE, LONG AGO, "thcre was
little CITY," which was be-
~ sieged by a great king, and in
this city there dwelt "poor wise
man" who by his wisdom delivered
the city. So we are told by the writer
of Ecclesiastes, who further declares
that "the words of wise men are
heard in quiet more than the cry
of him that ruleth among fools, and,
also, that wisdom is better than
weapons of war" (Ecclesiastes 9:14.
Is, IT. 18). The latter statement Is
echoed today by spiritual thinkers
in many lands, and wiser ways OF
handling world problems are being
sought. 1t Is increasingly evident
that many are recognizing the fulfil
ity of war as d means of settling ma
tional or international problems.
The teachings o. Christianity have
always been opposed to war. and yet
in the long centuries since Christ
Jesus preached the gospel OF peace
on earth and good will to men. there
has been unceasing warfare. The
ages have advanced slowly IN the
apprehension and demonstration OF
spiritual truth. II took many long
years of education and enlightenment
before the practice of slavery was
abolished in civilized countries. To

The last few years have seen a
great change in cooking and cooking
utensils. There are those, however,
who are not in the least interested OF
affected by changes of any kind. They
were taught to cook by perhaps the
grandmother so to this day they spend
unnecessary hours preparing a dish
that, like so many now days, has
grand short cut.
Meat cookery is good example
of this and we will speak of lamb in
that it is of excellent quality and is
available all year round and isn't
heavy meat that one is apt to discard
for the course of the summer.
The old method for roasting a leg
of lamb is to brown it well in hot
oven, then reduce the heat, add lit
tie water and baste occasionally,
(which is hot work.. The new meth
cd isn't in direct opposition to this,
but new rules for meat cookery says
that the higher the oven temperature
the greater the shrinkage. Therefore,
the roast goes into hot oven, is scar
ed, the temperature greatly reduced
