Program In Cincinnati;
Building Aided
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By OhlO Labor News SerVlce)
Columbus, O.-Two important de-
cisions handed down by the Ohio Su-
preme Court last week will serve as
a stimulus to Ohio's building indus
try. One removes the last barrier to
Cincinnati's $13,510,000 housing pro-
gram, while the other relieves the le-
gal log jam in the states ten-million-
dollar institutional building program.
BY a four to three decision the
Court authorized a writ of mandamus
to issue compelling City Manager c.
o. Sheriff., of Cincinnati, to carry out
a contract with the Federal Housing
Authority, approved by City Council,
for the Winton Terrace and English
Woods housing projects. Sheriff. had
refused to sign the contract and had
attacked the constitutionality of the
Ohio Housing Act and the validity of
the Cincinnati contract authorized by
Council.
In a sweeping opinion, four Judges,
Chief Justice Carl V. Weygandt,
Arthur H. Day, Charles B. thinner
man and Roy H. Williams, sustained

Sanitary Goods

Perth Amboy, N. J.-Following un-
successful efforts since last Novem-
Der to stop the use of Koehler and
Koehler plumbing products in the To-
cal housing project, pickets were
placed on the job last Friday as a
final step to insure the use of fair
products. Local Union SO has been
fighting the installation of the Koch
ler supplies with the aid of James
Solon, N. B. o. P. representative, C.
L. U. President Thomas Kelly and that
body's attorney. The Brotherhood or
dered the pickets.
Considerable confusion seemed to
come over those in authority with the
advent of the pickets. 1t was but a
short time until Mr.. McNally, a gov
ernment representative, approached
Picket Nels P. Hansen, an old time
potter, wishing to know the facts in
the case. Brother Hansen referred the
gentleman to Brother Solon. Mr..
McNally was soon given the correct
answers so he Immediately summoned
all the labor heads in the city as we'll
as President Carver of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor. Solon soon convinced
all present of the justice Of the move
on the part of the Brotherhood, but
agreed to take off the pickets until
conference could be held.
This matter was originally taken up
with the local Housing Authority in
the middle of November by Local Sc
representatives w. H. Lybeck, Andrew
Madsen and Julius Sabo, but the meet

Athlete Head

The Oregon Labor Press of Port
land, Oregon, publishes the following
account of an address delivered in that
city by Harvey Brown, president of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor:
Lashing out at the program of dis
ruption started by John l.. Lewis and
carried out by his lieutenants in the
c.. 1. O. and digging into the very
roots of our economic ills, Harvey
Brown, president of the international
Association of Machinists, addressed
a joint meeting Of the Auto Mechanics
and Machinists local unions Of Port
land at the Italian Federation hall in
Portland.
Brown credited the "New Dealers"
with reducing unemployment by a
small amount and for their broad hu-
manitarian attitude in caring for the
needy and the jobless. Stating that
the basic ills of our economic system
arose out of the profits of industry
outstripping the payroll Brown advo-
Gated organization of the unorganized
workers and increased payrolls in or

to prosperity"
In touching this phase of the eco
nomic problem Brown paid high trib-
ute to Senators Borah and Norris for
their insight into the problem and
their courageous and tireless efforts

Matthew Woll, President, Americas
Wage Farmers Protective Conference
composed exclusively of National and
international Unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
March 4, appearing before the Senate
Finance Committee, opposed the con-
tinuation Of Reciprocal Trade Treaties
unless such Treaties were ratified by
the Senate, and, provided shat COM
petitive imports be denied entry into
American markets at total delivered
costs which are less than American
costs of production Of comparable
products of American workers, when
such products of American workers
are commercially available"
Mr.. Woll challenged the Committee
to find anyone who could prove that
any substantial number of additional
jobs had been secured for Americas
unemployed workers through Trade
Treaties, and he stated that there was
definite knowledge that the job op-
portunities Of many thousands Of
Americas workers, at decent wages,
had been virtually transferred to
workers in foreign countries, through
Reciprocal Trade Treaties.
Contending the Trade Treaties were
not deterrent to war, Mr.. Woll said,
National efforts are directed at in
dependence and not dependence. If
nations did not have so many foreign
stakes they would therefore have few
er occasions for rivalry and friction.
international interdependence based
on trade produces international vulner-

though the United States is not in

greatly affected by it. Should the war
come to an end tomorrow we could not
escape the depressing consequences of
general rehabilitation and the ensuing
unemployment. Had we not created the
interdependence which is regarded as
a source of peace, by some, we should
not be so vulnerable to the machin-
ations and ambitions of foreign die

a value but pacifcatiOn of the world

The regular order of business of

next Monday night when an entertain
ment and smoker will hold sway to

At the conclusion of the entertain

BLOW BELOW BELT
Greet Brituin r Reduced Vdlue
of Pound Sterling Four
Days After Signing

Captain F. X. A. Eble, managing
director of Made In America Club,
Inc, appeared before the Senate
Finance Committee last Thursday to
tell those members it is "silly nom
sense" to believe the national economy
can be bettered through the recipro-
cal trade program.
The Republican customs head from
1929 to 1888 declared also that Great
Britain had given the United States
elbows below the belt" by reducing
the value Of the pound sterling four
days after signing trade agreement
with this country.
When Senator Prentiss M. Brown
of Michigan pointed out that this
action increased the cost to the British
of products they bought in this
country as we'll as cut the cost of
American purchases in England, Eble
launched into technical explanation
of foreign exchange.
"This is a little lesson that l hope
you are going to carry home with you
and paste in your hat. I'll give it to
you slowly so you can get it," the wit
ness said as committee members join
ed in the general laughter:

The complete address of Captain
Eble follows:
Mr. chairman, and members of the
committee on finance:-
The conclusions which have reach

seven years abroad, when l was sta

Ohio'S Governor
Now Considering
SpecioI Session
Severe Winter Causes q
Heavy Drdin On Relief
Funds In Cities
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Wy VUbV A>CWS sSciN
Columbus, Ohio.-Following confer
ences this week with city officials
from Cleveland, Toledo, Akron and
other industrial centers Governor
Bricker may reach a decision as to
whether special session of the Leg
islature will be necessary to provide
additional state aid for poor relief.
Severe winter weather which has
curtailed activities of the Works Prog
ress Administration in these cities and
thrown many on relief has caused an
extraordinary burden upon relief
funds and also heavy drain upon
state funds, the Governor said.
State Highway Department officials
estimated it had cost the State three
quarters Of a million dollars to keep
Ohio highways open to travel thus far
this winter, due to the repeated snow
storms.
ut has been the hardest winter in
many years, Highway Director
Bieghtler said.
While this work on the highways
has created some employment in the
counties, it has not equaled the unem-
ployment that has been created by
reason of men not being able to work
on other outside projects.
Cooperation between cities and
counties in taking advantage of WPA
funds available for public work was
being worked out in Columbus and
Toledo this week as one way of pro-
viding relief for those able to work.

Washington, D. C.-Recently an ap-
peal requesting the resumption of
peace negotiations between the Amer

gress of Industrial Organizations was
sent to President William Green, of
the American Federation of Labor,
and John l.. Lewis, head Of the C. l.
O., by Rt. Rev. Msgr. John A. Ryan,
Director of the Department of Social
Action of the National Catholic We'll

in America, and Rabbi Edward L..

On February rs, President Green

the clergymen who signed the appeal:
The Very Reverend Monsignor John
A. Ryan,
Director, Department of Social Action,
National Catholic Welfare Conference,
Washington, D. c.
Dear MOnSlgnOr:
The deep interest which you and
your associates, who signed the let
ter you sent me dated February II,
manifest in the settlement of the diff
ferences which exist within the ranks
of organized labor within the United
States is deeply appreciated.
The inquiries you submit, the sug-
gestions you offer, and the opinions
you express show that you and your
associates are inspired by sentiments
of friendship and good will toward the
organized labor movement.
The American Federation of Labor
has repeatedly emphasized it's will
lingness to confer, through commit
tee, with committee representing
the C. l. o. for the purpose of bring
ing about settlement of the division
which exists within the ranks Of la
Dor. The position of the American
Federation of Labor was set forth in a

Conference With
Sanitary Owners
Hoped For BY 133
A Standard Wage Would
Help Stabilize Selling
Price In Industry

New Castle, Pa.-Members of Lo-
cal Union No. 1873 wonder just what
is going on in other sanitary shops,
organized and unorganized. We hear
news of the opinions expressed by the
heads of unorganized shops that
something should be done to stabilize
the sanitary industry. Also the lead
ers of organized shops are willing to
meet delegates from our local unions
in conference in an attempt to form
more uniform wage in the indus
try. We also hear that some of them
have said that they see our organiza-
tion as means of preventing selling
price cuts during slack times. Just
why they should have any doubt about
that question we do not understand.
The history of the trade previous
to 1922 proves this to be true about
our organization. l doubt if any
group of organized workers in the
country had more harmonious confer
ences than the sanitary trade during
the time John A. Campbell was chair
man of the manufacturers associa-
ton. The only advantage one manu-
facturer had over the other was i'm
proved methods of doing the work.
They all paid the same wages and they
could not give their workmen cut in
order to reduce the selling price. And
it is just as hard to get selling price
up as it is for the workers to get their
wages up, without some form Of Or
ganization.
The sanitary manufacturers have
had the most skilled workmen working
for $400 a day not many years ago.
A laborer's wage for man producing
a product that provides sanitation,
comfort and makes a home.
AS sanitary workers, we plead with
the heads of all sanitary shops to give
US some security against selling price
cuts. We are doing all we can to de-
fend ourselves. We put out money to
organize those shops where we know
the workmen suffer when the men in
charge decide to cut prices. We still
