Two-Yedr Contract

safety valve" in the way of a fact
finding board with power to adjudi-
cate controversial matters, it was ex-
planned by Samuel L. Deitsch, presi-
dent of the Industrial Council. The
agreement paves the way for a pc
riod that the manufacturers should
use to advantage by making New
York City the world style center, Mr..
Deitsch further suggested. He point
ed out that there had been an influx
of buyers since the Governor had
stepped in to avert the strike, and
that sales were ahead of those a year
ago.
"The establishing of a board of
stability and control is the chief new
provision of the contract" Mr.. Deitsch
pointed out. "The board, comprising
representatives of the union and the
employers organizations, will con-
slider issues which, if left to the ordin-
ary processes of collective bargaining
would provoke long and bitter dis
putes.
''The board will institute and direct
research into these subjects and, II
unable to agree as to findings, will
submit them to an impartial chair
man whose conclusions will become
part of the contract.
"Among the problems that will be
taken up by the board will be the de-
vising of means for making certain
close observance of the agreement
the establishing of uniform rates OF
piece work payments, the use of mod.
ern machinery, the advisability of al
lowing overtime and numerous Other
matters"
"Mr. Dubinsky emphasized that
while the settlement provided for ne
wage increases, it did offer a sub
stantial basis for stabilization ano
improvement in the industry.

Wage Act Rulings

table warehouses will be granted a
14-week exemption from the maxi
mum hours provision Of the Act al
lowing them to work their employees
up to IL hours day or Sc hours
week without the payment of over
time during that period This ex-
emption does not relax the require
ment to pay minimum wages.
Canneries and packing houses which
already have the 14-week exemption
will be granted an additional 14-week
exemption, virtually removing the ap-
plication of maximum hours to work
ers employed by them. This conces-
sion to the industry was strongly con-
tested by the American Federation of
Labor on the ground that it is con-
trary to the intent Of the Act to de-
prive the workers in a major indus
try from overtime rates of pay under
pretext of seasonal need.
Maintaining that seasonal exemp-
tions were solely designed by Con-
gress to meet the peak production
requirements, the American Fedora
tion of Labor contended that the
stretching of the seasonality to 2S
weeks is an unreasonable and artifi-
cial device to contravene the require
ment of the law and to avoid the pay
ment of overtime to workers in pack
ing houses and canneries. On behalf
of it's affiliated unions, the American
Federation of Labor is petitioning fo1
review of this recommendation.

Aid To Industry

groups were in New Jersey and in
Pennsylvania, the proportion in each
of these representing over one-eighth
of the total. Next in rank according
to numbers included were Illinois, with
6 per cent of all workers, Connecticut
with S per cent, Massachusetts, and
Missouri with a per cent each, and
California with 3 per cent. Other
states employing more than per cent
of the total were Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, and Texas. c8:s:,. q,.zi
Highest average hourly earnings for
all employees in the apparel industry
were in the unit-priced dress branch,
where about nine-tenths of the wage
earners included worked under union
contracts, the bulletin shows. Import
ant occupations employing more
women than men are machine oper-
ators, with an average of TIT cents
an hour in a busy spring week, and
hand finishers, inspectors, and pack
ers with an average of 55.S cents.
The making Of women's blouses was
the next most remunerative branch
Of the apparel industry in the busy
season. Here, too, about nine-tenths
of the employees were at work in plants
where unionization had taken place.
Most types of work were more often
done by women than men.
Lowest average hourly earnings
were found in the production of dress
es wholesaling by the dozen. In this
field union organization has taken
place only in recent years, and slight
ly more than one-third of the firms
scheduled had union shops. Figures
are cited to show that earnings of
union workers in the same area are
generally higher than those of the
non-union worker For example, in
the women's unit-priced dress field,
union workers in New Jersey, New
York City, upstate New York and
Illinois averaged from 1913 to 33.5 an
hour more than employees in unorgan-
lied shops.

In the Senate

WASHINGTON, D. CLAMP
Information Is seeping through
circles close to Vice-President John
Nance Garner that the Texan,
who is a candidate for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination, is
in favor Of letting the anti-lynch
bill come to a vote in the senate.
This is said to be true even
though Garner has fought the bill
viciously i'm former years and
though it is certain the measure
will be passed if it comes to a
vote in the upper chamber. 1t al
ready has passed the house.
Drew Pearson of the Merry
Go-Round'', widely read column,
spilled this information during d
visit to Chicago last week. 1t is
not news to colored readers, how
ever, because this paper carried an
of the record interview with
Garner several weeks ago, in
which he told an AMP reporter
his attitude toward the anti
lynching bill
Carriers views at that time were
that he was willing to let the
measure be put upon the statute
books because, as he said, the "col-
ored people want it." He insisted
that he did not believe in the bill
as it is drawn nor in its efficiency.
Garner declared he felt the

BLACK AMERICANS LOYAL

Yet this country persists in crushing beneath col
or barriers those coming from possibly the most loyal
segment of Americans. Search Americas history
from the time the first shot fired in the Revou
tonary War and not single, incident will show
where black Americans have even been suspected Of
treason let alone charged with it.
America partially recognized this three years ago
when the navy following succession of secret leaks
to Japan hastily began dschargng the Fipinos serv
ing stewards and attendants and training
black boys for these Jobs They knew black Ameri-
cans could be trusted Since then high naval Off
cials have breathed easier but unfortunately have
not as yet seen the wisdom of making any other
openings to black boys.
A pity it is that America fails to further see
that the very easy solution to all this spy busi
lies in the immediate opening of all these
closed army and naval units to Americas most loyal
citizens.
