One Meeting a Month Must
Be Attended or so Cents
Donated

Brother George Chadwick gave a
very interesting and inspiring talk at
the meeting of Local Union No. 1870.
He asks the support of the local next
Tuesday when the boys go to the
polls, for the hospital levy.
President Larcombe presided at the
meeting which was full Of sound ad-
vice. Many fine points were brought
out which met with the general ap-
proval of the local.
We are about to go on record that
each and every member should spend
at least one night a month in the To-
cal meeting, for these sessions mean
so much to the organizations welfare.
We are going to impose fine of fifty
cents on each member not attending
at least one meeting month. So ar
range now to trade off your turn once
In awhile SO you can attend the meet
ing.
1t is shame that the stragglers
have to be reminded from time to time
to keep their dues paid up. Notices
have been sent out, but so far they
have not paid any attention to them.
Members in arrears, who don't put in
their appearance at the November 10
meeting to make settlement, will
have their name placed in the Herald

California Labor
Condemns Lewis
State Convention Delegates
Hold Him Responsible
For Strife

One Of the strongest denunciations
Of the C. l. O. and it's chairman, John
L. Lewis, since the inception of that
rebel and dual group was made by
the recent convention Of the Califor-
MIA State Federation of Labor when
it adopted a resolution sponsored by
E. H. Vernon, Auto Mechanics Lodge
No. 1916, and the California State
Conference of Machinists.
The resolution condemned Lewis
for responsibility in the original di-
vision of organized labor's ranks, for
disrupting the first peace conference
when he refused to be governed by
the unanimous decision of the con-
ference, and for unnecessary delay in
resuming peace negotiations which
were adjourned at his request.
In addition, the resolution express
ed Serious doubts of any intention on
the part Of Mr.. Lewis to do anything
whatever to unity the American labor
movement, unless this can be done
through its domination by the c. /.
o. and not through the democratic
processes Of self choosing by majority
rule"

Demand For Changes In the Labor
Relations Act Redffirmed by A. F. Of L.

the fact that the American Fedora
ton of Labor was the original spon-
sor of the National Labor Relations
Act. The basic principles Of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act, guaran-
teeing to workers the rights of self
organization, self-determination, free
dom of choice in designating repre-
sentatives and imposing on employers
the duty to bargain collectively with
representatives of workers are sound.
The American Federation Of Labor
will support these principles with all
the vigor at it's command. 1t will
defend these basic principles of the
Act from attack by any forces an
tagonistic to them.
Rights of Workers Destroyed
Because Of a perverted construc-
tion of provisions in the Act and an
improper administration of it by the
board, the fundamental rights re-
ferred to have been weakened and in
some respects destroyed. Because Of
bias on the part of certain members
Of the Board and its personnel, the
American Federation of Labor and its
affiiates have been made the victims
of maladministration.
Recognizing this, the Houston
Convention by unanimous action di-
rected submission to Congress of
amendments to the Act. These were
carefully prepared and submitted soon

Subject to the drastic control exer-
cised by the censorship Of the French
government, information is gradually
reaching the United States regarding
labor activities in the warning coun-
tries of Europe
A delayed bulletin from the Inter
national Federation of Trade Unions,
with headquarters in Paris, France,
passed by the French censor, contains
the following account of an appeal is
sued by the French National Trade
Union Centre:
The French National Trade Union
Centre has issued to the workers Of
Germany the following appeal broad
cast several times in German from
French and British broadcasting sta
tions):
Comrades! At this grave hour, the
French National Trade Union Centre
appeals to your conscience and your
desire for peace. 1t asks you, in spite
of all the difficulties of such action,
to try to prevent sanguinary con-
flict breaking out in Europe.
"The French Trade Union Centre
reminds you that it always had fra
ternal relations with your Trade
Unions before they were destroyed
with the advent of a totalitarian re-
gime.
"In conjunction with the German
National Trade Union Centre (ADGB)
the French Trade Union Centre tried
to re-establish friendly and trusting
relations between our two countries,
and to amend the errors committed
twenty years ago.
"The French Trade Union Centre
is we'll aware of your tragic material
and moral plight, but it is firmly
convinced that, if injustices exist in
Europe, they can only be made good
in an atmosphere of peace and by
means Of free international discus
sions. The resort to force, while not

Washington, ID. ca comprehen-
slve bill, introduced by Senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette of Wisconsin and Sen
ator Elbert D. Thomas of Utah, de-
signed to prohibit certain Oppressive
labor practices" was reported favor
ably to the Senate by the Senate Com
mittee on Education and Labor a few
days before the Senate adjourned last
summer. 1t is understood that prompt
enactment of the bill will be urged
during the special session of Con-
gress called by President Roosevelt in
connection with neutrality legislation
if Congress decides to take up general
legislation after consideration of the
neutrality bill is concluded.
The recent annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor in
Cincinnati, Ohio, urged the prompt
passage of the oppressive labor prac-
tices bill.
Although the Senate Education and
Labor Committee made a number of
amendments in the details of the
measure, it was reported substantially
as drawn by Senators La Toilette and
Thomas. 1t outlaws labor spies, the
use Of professional strikebreaking
agencies, the employment Of armed
private police off company property
and the possession by corporations of
industrial munitions" including ma
chine guns, sawed-off shotguns and
gas bombs.
Ends Notorious Methods of Anti
Union Employers
The measure is the result of testi-
mony taken during many months by
the Senate Civil Liberties Committee
of which Senator La Toilette was
chairman and Senator Thomas men,
Der. 1t seeks to eliminate a number
of notorious industrial practices which
anti-union employers have developed
during the last forty years in their
determination to prevent the workers
from organizing in effective trade
unions and carrying on united efforts
to secure better wages and hours and
improved conditions of labor.

Columbus, O.-Following a compre-
hensive study and discussion of the
relief problem in the state and a con-
ference with Governor John w. Brick
er, the Executive Board of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor and officers
of AFL Central Labor Bodies in
Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, Columbus
and Cincinnati voted to adjourn their
specially called meeting October 26
without action until after the Novem-
Der 7 election.
Officials who attended the meeting
called by Michael J. Lyden, Youngs-
town, president of the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor, were impressed with
the seriousness Of the relief crisis
facing industrial areas of the state,
and conveyed to Governor Bricker
personally their strong appeal for
action by the Chief Executive and the
Legislature.
President Lyden acted as spokes-
man for the group of sixteen labor
officials at the conference with Gov
ernor Bricker, and made an impassion-
ed appeal for immediate aid to relieve
desperate situation which found
children fainting from hunger and
whole families without food, shelter
and fuel.
Governor Bricker told the labor
delegation that he was fully cognizant
of the situation and in deepest SYM
pathy with those affected. While he
did not promise that he would call
special session Of the Legislature to
consider the problem, he assured the
labor leaders during the hour-long
conference that he would keep close
watch and in constant touch with con-
ditions of which he was aware" and
would do everything in his power to
prevent critical developments.

Minerva, Ohio.-Hello Folks, few
remarks are due from Local Union
No. 70. The meeting held Friday,
October 27, was one of the best of
the last few months. Brother Abe
Edwards was in the chair in the alb
sence Of President Becknell.
Several interesting committee re-
ports were given and a very heated
discussion was on the floor over dec
Grating probler1: We find the decora-
tors are very ~ in sadhering ,4s-ths
agreement. Let us remember that the
moral and friendship attitude is the
wrong one when the merit Of the case
calls for adherence to fixed rules and
standards. Regardless of how fine an
individual may be, when the agree
ment calls for fixed law, we, as an
organization, have no legal right to
change such law. We find in gen.
eral, we have a very we'll organized
membership.
How many members of the N. B.
of O. P. read the article in October's
Readers Digest on GLOW Scio Licked
the Depression" It's about the great
est piece of false propaganda you
could ever hope to read. The boost it
gave Lou Reese is surely false one.
AS for the $3.50 an hour wage scale,

who are putting on handles for $3.42
a day. 1t looks like the average will
come up short. We understand Scio

behooves each of us, as a member Of

Cincinnati, Ohio.-The annual con-

of Labor reaffirmed it's demand for
major amendments to the National
Labor Relations Board instead Of the
present three-man board.
The action of the convention was
taken following consideration of the
report by the Resolutions Committee
which indorsed the statement regard
ing the Labor Relations Act and the
Labor Relations Board made by the
A. F. of L. Executive Council in their
report.
John P. Frey, President of the
Metal Trades Department of the A.

port on the National Labor Relations
Act, which was later adopted by an
overwhelming vote, expressed the
opinion that ninety per cent Of the
Labor Relations Board and its vari-
Gus advisers, trial examiners, counsel
and other employees were either Com
munists or influenced by the Com

In affirming the necessity for the
amendments to the Labor Relations

Columbus, O.-Industrial Relations
Director George A. Strain last week
announced that he would institute
legal action against beauty shop pro-
prietors who discharge or otherwise
discriminate against any employe who
offers testimony in the preliminary
survey being conducted by the Ohio
Industrial Relations Department to
determine the necessity for the estab-
lishment of a fair minimum wage
standard in the beauty parlor indus
try.
Director Strains announcement
came at the close of q second hearing
in Akron, first city in the preliminary
survey, when he was informed that
employees had been threatened with
dismissal if they testified as to wages
and conditions of their employment.
The Ohio minimum wage law, under
which the survey is being conducted,
specifically provides protection for
employees testifying or serving on
wage boards as follows:
"Section Is. Any employer and his
agent, or the officer or agent of any
corporation, who discharges or in any
other manner discriminates against
any employee because such enploye
has served or is about to serve on a
wage board or has testified or is
about to testify before any wage
board or in any other investigation or
proceeding under or related to this
act or because such employer believes
that said employe may serve on any
wage board or in any investigation or
proceeding under this act shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and upon
conviction be punished by fine Of not
less than fifty nor more than two
hundred dollars"
