Wallace Endorses
Wage-Hour Law;
Asks FL. Unity

WASHINGTON.-(FP)- There are
no indications that the wage-hour law
has worked to the detriment of farm
ers, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A,
Wallace declared in a nationwide
broadcast from here April %.
Some farmers, who have opposed
the wage-hour law, have been mis-
led" by political spokesman for Ger
tain interests" Wallace said.
He asserted that farm incomes and
the incomes of industrial workers rise
together, and pointed out that in 1889,
when the wage-hour law was in effect
farmers received approximately 1917
more for their fruit and vegetables
than in the crop season of 1888 be-
fore the law became effective.
Wallace warned that farmers and
industrial workers have a genuine
community of interest, and asserted
each should work for the others pro-
lection. He added:
Farmers and wage earners are
among the low income groups of our
population Both have benefited from
the progressive legislation of the last
few years. Recent legislation for the
protection of farmers could not have
been enacted had not congressional
of the city workers
Joined in supporting it.
"For example, 500 of the city rep
voted for the original |
AAA legislation in 1888. 500 of them
voted for the revised AAA program
If 1888.
81 regret to say that the congress-
men from the rural areas seem less
disposed to support measures for in
lustrial workers. While $40 of the
lrban congressman approved the
yage-hour law in 1888, only 1870 of
he rural congressman voted for it,"

Guaranteed $500
Annual Wage Written
Into Contract

| DETROIT. - (FP) - The opening
wedge for an annual wage in the auto
industry was driven April when the
NAW-CIO signed contract with the
Doyle G Wagner Welding Co. of De-
troit which includes that provision for
one welder and one assistant welder.
The welder is guaranteed a mini
mum annual wage of $1,000 to be paid
in weekly instruments. The guaran-
teed minimum for the assistant is
$1,000.
At the same time the union made
public the fact that certain GIN en-
ployes were doing very well without
minimum annual guarantees. VIM. S.
Knudsen, whose job is president,
knocked down s463,971 in 1889 from
the GIN treasury, divided into $780,

.Evicted Florida
Workers Move Into
Federal Camps

BELLE GLADE, la.-(FP)-Hun-
dreds of Florida's migratory workers,
evicted from their novels April 16 by
the sanitation bureau, are moving into
the. two new camps of the Farm
Security Administration.
Condemnation notices were posted
by state sanitation inspectors on more
than 500 shacks. The workers were
ordered to either improve the sanitary
conditions or get out by April 16.
Pres. John p Ingle Sr. of the state
health committee described conditions
as "the filthiest and most unsanitary"
he had ever seen. Most of the TO-
900 migrants in this large vegetable
growing area, only 40 miles from Palm
Beach, live in tents or shacks built
of tin, timbers, packing cases and
stray timber bequeathed by the 1928
hurricane.
Some of the novels are on packing
house property while others are in
nearby towns. Although wages are
extremely low, they are slightly higher
than those received by the Okies in
California, where the work season is
longer A family of five in the Flori-
da vegetable area averages from $3.50
to $500 year with the workweek
unlimited.
The workers have Deen unorganized |
ever since the downfall five years ago |
of the Florida Citrus Workers Union,

all workers in the Florida
agricultural area, including pickers,
packing workers and retail clerks in
The small towns. The union collapsed
when group Of Ku Klux Klansmen
obtained control and sold out to the
employers.
The United Cannery Agricultural
Packing G Allied Workers (CIO) re-
,ently started few locals but found
he task of organizing so costly that
t withdrew until it could get enough
unds to make a sweeping drive.
The plight of the Florida workers
las been partly remedied by the two ,
TSA camps, one for whites and one
or negroes, which will take care of
"a families or about 1919 of the i,
workers. in the area. Three other ,
'SA camps are being planned.
The camps, first to be built by the !:
'SA east of Texas, consist of 1-room
ouses with prefabricated steel walls

ary facilities, medical clinics and 3

ATRI0TISM NO
BAR TO FLIGHT
OF CAPITAL
By SCOTT NEARING
Federated Press)

Whenever danger threatens, capital
runs away. At hint of hard times !;
on the approach of war; even after
the outbreak of hostilities, capital
leaves the danger zone in search of
security.
The movement of capital from
areas of conflict to safety points is
described as the migration or flight
of capital In countries run on prin-
ciples of private enterprise, it is taken
for granted that capital will move in
the direction of maximum safety and
maximum profit.
Capital movements are easily ar
ranged. The British or French capt.
talist who wishes to transfer his
funds to Canada or the U. S. either
buys gold and ships it across the
ocean, or else sells European stocks
and bonds and with the proceeds buys
American stocks and bonds, or Ameri-
can currency. Both are for sale in
every European trading center.
Since 1885 the U. S. treasury has
been keeping a record of the amounts
Of capital moving from foreign coun-
tries into the U. S. The figures are
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1940-05-01

The total net inflow of foreign cap
ital into the U. S. during these five
years was $685. 100000.
With the outbreak of the present
war in Europe the free movement of
capital came to an end in Britain
and France. 1t had already ceased in
Germany. In November 1889 only
$18,000,000 came to the U. S. In De-
cember, $170O0,00O
The migration of "scare capital
from Europe to America reflects the
moods of European politics. In peri
DDS of political calm, capital stays at
home. In periods of storm, it sour
ries to safer quarters abroad.
Actually, of course, it is not capital
but the capitalist who lodges danger
Capital is interchangeable of either
greed or fear. The owner of capital
is both greedy and fearful He
watches the political sky from day to
day and sends part of his property
beyond the frontiers the moment dan
ger threatens.
Suppose the owner of labor power
did the same thing. Suppose British
and French workers, observing the ap-
proach of war, should move by mil
lions to Canada, South Africa, Austria
la. They would be denounced as pol
5roons, towards, and traitors.
1t is the patriotic duty of workers
10 stay and fight for home and father
and. 1t is the privilege of capitalists
70 keep their funds at home or to
ship them abroad, even into enemy
if they think they can make
an extra dollar in the process.

MAYOR GETS
"A DOSE OF
TEARGAS

; TONAWANDA, ~ Y. = (FP) 81
J beats all hell" said Mayor Christ War
, rem, when you get a teargas BIAS
from your own cops"
The mayor got a snootfull when he
stepped out of the Remington Rand
plant just as the local police opened
fire on picket line of 800 AFL men
and women. Excuse for the attack
was that the pickets had just been
ASSAULTED by scabs and strikebreakers,
armed with rubber hoses loaded with
lead caps and steel filings.
Warren's baptism was the result. he
said, of his efforts to persuade the
company to settle. The mayor is
pretty well known inside the plant,
for his job is branch manager of the
Marine Midland Trust Co. Pres James
H. Rand of Remington-Rand is a di-
rector of the bank and relative,
George H. Rand, is president
The strike was precipitated by the
discharge of Louis Hoffman, an active
member of AFL Federal Local 194O1,
Office Equipment Workers Union. A
foreman named Bragg had called Hoff-
man to the office and told him he
might get fired
You're the boss" said Hoffman
do what you want" Bragg declared
that this remark was INSTRUMENTATION,
and thereupon gave Hoffman his walk
ing papers. The union tried to settle
the case peacefully but the manage
ment obviously wanted a fight. So
400 workers struck, paralyzing opera
lions.
For months straw bose and fore
men had been picking on active I'M
ionists. The speedup had been inten-
sified 1t was clear that the company
had no intention of sticking to its
agreement, made with the NLRB only
a few days before the walkout, to
abandon company unionism and bar
gain with legitimate unions.
Union leaders said a strike was in
evitable because grievances could be |
adjusted only through bargaining and |
the firm refused to bargain in good
faith
We've been through the mill for
4 good many years now" said Local
Sec. David LOCO. We've been rea-
sonable and patient. But we're going
% win this fight. This strike will
not be broken"
Lozo's prediction is backed by more
han militant optimism. The Tona-
wanda plant is key factory in the
2emington-Rand chain because is sup
lilies parts necessary for the operation
If other units. The flow of parts has
stopped.
Veterans of the bitter fight against
aemington-Rand five years ago when
he company originated the Mohawk
1alley strikebreaking formula, the
people are set for the
uration. Only 7 out of the 400 work
RS are scabbing.
In North Tonawanda, where another
sand plant is situated, $50 employees
re ready for issuance of a strike
rider from the union hall across the
treet. Wholehearted support of the
yalkout has been voted by the Buffalo

Justice Department
To Probe Arrest
OF Dies Witness

WASHINGTON.-FP) = Dies com
mittee agents headed for more trou-
BILE as Attorney General Robert H.
Jackson ordered an investigation of
charges by a committee witness that
he was held incommunicado for 4S
hours in a Birmingham, Ala, jail
Laurent Frantz of Birmingham, son
of University of Tennessee profess
sor, said here he was arrested on
April and held without chance to
talk to an attorney or friends until
April II when he was handed a sub
pena from the committee and ordered
to appear in Washington.
A law school graduate, Frantz said
he was employed by Robt. F. Hall,
Alabama secretary of the communist
party, to investigate legal aspects of
placing the communist party on the
ballot in southern states.
He was alone in the office, Frantz
continued, when city detective Os-
borne and deputy U. S. marshal Ellis
entered and demanded to know where
Hall was.
81 told him the only thing 1 could
that he was out of town and that |
did not know where he was" Frantz
said. "They refused to believe me.
Ultimately detective Osborne stated
he would hold me in Jail until 1 did
tell where Hall was"
Frantz was booked on charge of
suspected of vagrancy" and held in
communicate for 48 hours. Then he
was given a Dies committee subpoena
and told to go to Washington.
Because a federal official was in
volved, Jackson ordered an investiga-
lion of the affair by the justice de-
partments civil liberties unit.
