Green Urges Poll of Soft Cool Labor
On Closed Shop and Bargaining Agency

ducing states for more than thirty
years.
"No demand has heretofore been
made during al that period of time
by either representatives of operators
or the miners for the elimination of
the penalty clause, or for declara
ton in favor of the closed shop, other
than was provided in the check-off
of union dues section of the agree
ment.
Miners Should Name Their Own
Bargaining Agency
"In view of this fact, thinking
people can reasonably ask why this
demand after an experience in collec-
tive bargaining covering period OF
more than thirty years?
"The question which one instinc-
lively asks when considering this
phase of the matter is why not allow
the miners to determine for them
selves the character and nature of
tn cir own collective bargaining
agency? This is the principle of self
determination which is written into
the Labor Relations Act.
"The miners employed at the mines
may determine what organization
shall represent them in collective bar
gaining and whether they wish
closed shop agreement. They can take
such action under the Labor Relations
Act in a clearly democratic fashion by
a majority vote.
elimination of the penalty clause,
which | repeat has been in effect for
thirty years, and the agreement of a
universal closed shop, is designed to
prevent the application of this policy
of democratic procedure.
"The Wagner Act, on the contrary,
which it is the law of the land, pro-
vides that it is obligatory on the part
of those who administer the Labor Re-
lations Act to accord to workers every
where the right of self-determination
and freedom of choice in the selection
of collective bargaining agency.
"The American Federation of Labor
and it's affiliates make known that
they will protect the rights of en-
ployes to self determination and self
organization and will protect the
workers in freedom of choice in Sc
lecting a bargaining agent.
"The Progressive Mine Workers Of
America will protect their existing
contracts with coal operators and will
maintain their rights to represent all
employees of an employer when des-
ignated by majority to act as eX-
elusive bargaining representatives.

w. Green Endorses
Buddy Poppy Sale

William Green, President of the
American Federation of Labor, ex-
pressed in the following words his cor
dial endorsement of the 1889 Sale of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars to raise
funds for relief work:
"Another year has passed. Again
we mark Memorial Day-the day set
apart on which we as Nation honor
our soldier dead.
DISABLED and needy ex-service men,
crippled heroes Of the World War-of
Chateau Thierry and the Argonne, st.
Mihiel and Verdun, names now almost
forgotten--make the more than 6,0O0,-
0OO Buddy Poppies for the annual
poppy sale Of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars held throughout the entire
country during the week of Memorial
Day.
cover the Top!" The words were
filled with significance for America S
valiant sons when they were fighting
the battles of democracy in the trench
es Of France. The words have a new
significance this year for many of
these same men, now disabled and
needy veterans, who, with war-minded
fingers, are making these millions OF
Buddy Poppies which will CLEAN in
the buttonholeS of all America or
Memorial Day as tribute to those
who made the supreme sacrifice in de-
fense of the ideals for which we, as
nation, stand.
"The Buddy Poppies are made in
veterans hospitals by disabled eX-
service men patients who are thus en-
abled to turn the long hours in hos
pital wards into profitable employ
ment for themselves and their fami-
lies.
"The Buddy Poppy label, which is
on every flower used in the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars sale, has been form
ally registered as V. +. w. copy
right in order to prevent any infringe
ment upon it and to guarantee to the
public the actual manufacture Of the
poppies by disabled and needy ex-
service men. Buddy Poppy" is the
name the men themselves selected for
the small memorial flower at the time
of the inception of this method of
poppy making by the veterans of
Foreign Wars.
"Over the Top" with record-break-
ing sales Of these tiny memorial en-
blems is the goal which these disabled
and needy war heroes have set for
themselves for the 1889 sale to raise
funds for relief work. Let US all dc
our best to help them reach that goal!

Foreign Goods Boycott
Recommended By Ornburn

Mobilization of the citizens of Can
ada and the United States for the sup
port of home industries was urged by
|. NJ. Ornburn, secretary-treasurer Of
the American Federation of Labor
Union Label Trades Department, in an
address before the convention of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks at
Toronto, Canada.
Strongly criticizing those who buy
goods "produced by the sweated in
dustries in the Far East and in the
dictatorship countries Of Europe" he
declared "The best guarantee that the
goods purchased were not made by
oppressed labor is for people to de-
mand the union label, which is a guar
antee against oppressive labor condi-
tons"

Ohio Cushions Job
Loss Shock With 2H2
Million During April

Columbus, O.-More than two and
a half million dollars of unemployment
compensation cushioned the personal
shocks of job loss and sent flow
of cash into Ohio's business channels
during April, according to a statement
today by H. C. Atkinson, administra-
tor of the Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation.
Approximately $4,000 jobless work
ers received $2,527, 7,348.39. This was a
drop of 7Ro in total benefit payments
from the preceding month of March.
Since last January, over $780, 100000
has been paid to covered unemployed
workers in Ohio.
Total unemployment checks aver
aged $1O.O3 while partial unemploy
ment benefits averaged $51l for the
period. Comparison of the checks
shows that individual checks for total
unemployment were seven cents high
er and checks for partial unemploy-
ment were "a cents more, on an aver
age, than in March.
Unemployed claimants in Cleveland
received 46,1O5 checks totaling $685.
925.06; Cincinnati was second with
27,322 payments aggregating $685.
04O.75; Toledo with 23,548 checks
crossed $237, 7,579.43; Akron was fourth
with 14,l4G checks totaling $l44,037.-
06; Columbus was fifth with 1871
checks totaling $1l6,225.45. Youngs
town claimants received II ,447 checks
totaling 500, 1869 and Dayton was
seventh on the months list with 1852
checks totaling SOL ,39O.42.
There was an increase Of S7T in
initial claims received for April as
compared with March.
Thirty-six local Offices showed an
increase in initial claims received dur
ing the month. Greatest increases oc-
Cured at Athens, Bellaire, Cambridge,
Columbus, Coshocton, Dayton, Iron
ton, Lancaster, Logan, Martins Ferry,
Massillon, New Philadelphia, Ports
mouth and Steubenville; it is to be
noted that most of these Offices are
located in the coal area and the in
crease in claims is no doubt due to
conditions existing in that area.
Of the twenty-five Offices showing
decreases in initial claims, Hamilton
showed the greatest decline, followed
by Alliance, Bucyrus, Salem, Fre-
mont, Mansfield and Newark in the
order named.
