NEXT YEAR TO SHOW
RECORD INCREASE in
JOBS FOR DEFENSE

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - En-
ployment will show the largest in
crease next year ever made in this
country in like period, with jobs for
100000 to 100000 persons, Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins predicted here
on the basis of a report by the Labor
Departments Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics.
Preliminary figures show that de-
fense orders alone Should involve a
direct increase of employment in de-
fense industries of at least three and
possibly four million workers by the
end of 1941," the secretary said. She
continued:
"The payrolls of defense workers
will lead to more employment in au-
tomobile and furniture factories, in
textile mills and clothing factories.
Retail stores and service industries
will all be stimulated. Although the
indirect effect of defense expendi-
lures on employment in non-defense
industries is felt only after several
months, it should bring about an in
crease in employment of approxi-
mately two million additional workers.

E. S. SMITH CALLED
'COMRADE' OF REDS

Washington, d. ca witness told
the House committee investigating the
National Labor Relations Board that
Edwin S. Smith, board member, was
designated as a "comrade" by a Mex
lean labor group in 1888.
The witness, Hartley Barclay, edi-
tor of a trade publication, who at
tended sessions of the Confederation
of Mexican Workers in September,
1888, read from a paper issued by the
international Congress Against War
and Fascism, one of the sections of
the labor session, and said it indicated
that Smith had been elected secretary
of the United States group of the
congress and was called a "comrade "
Barclay also said that Smith spoke
in a hall at Mexico City decorated
with Communist symbols.
Ralph Emerson, former legislative
representative of the National Mari
time Union, G.. l. o. affiliate, testified
earlier that Smith '.favors a line of
policy paralleling that of William 2.
Foster and Earl Browder."

JOB PLACEMENTS
AT RECORD HIGH

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). = In
creasing Industrial employment re-
suited in a record total of private
placements by the state employment
services and a decline in unemploy-
ment benefits during August, the So
cial Security Board announced here.
(. Nearly 331 900 jobs-a z per cent
increase over July-were found by
the public employment Offices in Au-
gust. At the same time, the number
of workers registered as actively seek
ing jobs decreased to 100000 by
the end of the month-a decline of
$4,000.
More than 100000 of the place
ments were with private employers
a larger volume than in any previous
August since the United States En-
ployment Service was established. In
addition, the board reported 10000
supplemental placements = those in
which employment Offices perform
some but not all of the steps to COM
plete the placement.
Both payments to unemployed work
ers and claims for benefits declined in
August. Benefit payments came to
$51, 0,000-a drop of more than 7
per cent from July; and continued
claims totaled $5,900,OOO, 10 per cent
decline. An average of about 100000
workers received benefits each week
during August, per cent fewer than
in July.
Nearly 2 million jobs in private in
dustry were filled by the public en-
ployment Offices, during the first 8
months of 1910, a gain of about "a
per cent over the corresponding
months of 1889.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-10-18
Employment in Steady Rise

"Total non-agricultural employment
by the latter part of 1941 should ap-
proach level between five and six
million greater than at the beginning
of the present fiscal year."
Month by month, employment on
defense contracts is rising" Miss Per-
kins added. "For example, during
June, July and August the Navy let
contracts or undertook force-account
work for vessels to cost 1,076, 900, 900.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics esti-
mates that by the end of this year
10000 people will be at work on YES
sells contracted for in June, July and
August. This number will rise to
100000 by the late summer of 1941
and will reach a peak of 10000 in
the spring of 1912. This estimate
does not yet include employment on
contracts let in September or to be let
in later months.
Building Gain Seen
Expenditures for building con-
struction can normally be made more
rapidly than those for naval construc-
tion. Thus, contracts were let for
$118,000,000 of building construction
in these same three months.
"At present nearly $4,000 men are
at work on these projects and some
10000 or more should be at work by
the turn of the year. These particu-
lar projects will nearly all be COM
pleted by the middle Of next summer.

Action Outgrowth of Recent Settlement of Protracted
Wage and Hours Observation-Disclosures Reached De-
cis0n September 5-New Hourly Wage 81 Cents.
(WNU Servicc)

Chicago, Ill. (ILNS).-Milk Wagon
Drivers Union, Local No. 753, Inter-
national Brotherhood of Teamsters,
Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Help
ers, A. F. of L., has demanded pay
ment of $371,0 in back wages in a
suit filed against Chicago dairies in
Superior Court by David A. Riskind,
attorney for the union, in behalf of
$500 members. The action is an out
growth of the recent settlement of a
protracted wage and hours dispute.
The union sets forth in its suit that
one of the conditions for submitting
the dispute to arbitration was that the
wage and hour findings of the arbi-
traitors be made retroactive to June 1,
when the arbitration proceedings be-
gan. The award was entered Septem-
Der Is, although the arbitrators had
reached decision September 5, and
in the intervening weeks since June l.,
the suit states, the drivers worked an
average of 68 hours a week, instead of
Sd, as provided in the agreement.
Monopoly Case Ended
Established by the arbitrators was
new wage of 81 cents an hour Pay
ment at this rate for the IA extra
hours worked each week above the new
limit of 81 hours was asked by the
drivers. This amounts to $11.34 a
week, but the union deducts $4.26, rep
resenting the differential between the

new base wage Of $43.74 and the ole
base wage of S48, leaving the excess
wage claim at $708, or $106.20 fo1
each driver over the Is weeks.
The so-called milk monopoly case
in which the drivers union was de-
fendant, was ended by a consent de-
cree entered before Federal Judge
Charles E. Woodward The govern
ment charged, among other things
conspiracy to charge arbitrary prices
in the Chicago area.
No Admission of Guilt
Defendants signing the consent de-
cree agreed to refrain from the prac-
tices of which the government ac-
cused them, but emphasized that they
were making no admission of guilt
and that the decree carried with it
no implication of guilt.
Other defendants included Leslie G
Goudie, president of Teamsters' Joint
Council No. 25, with which the driv-
ers' union is affiliated; the Pure Milk
Association; the Associated Milk Deal
ers, and all important milk distribut-
ing companies in Chicago and vicinity
According to Attorney Daniel D. Car
nell, charges against Goudie, whom
he represented, and seven others
named in the original indictments
were dismissed. Consequently, they
were not parties to the decree.

R. R. POLICE UNION
in STEADY GAINS

Cleveland, Ohio.-Despite opposition
from the management of certain rail-
roads, the Railway Patrolmen's Union,
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor, is making constant
progress in organizing rail policemen
and negotiating agreements fixing
wages, hours and work conditions, o.
Wenner, president of 1882, an
nounced.
Pointing out that under the Rail
way Labor Act, railroad policemen
are accorded the same rights to or
ganize as any other group of railroad
employees, Mr.. Wenner said that locals
already organized in Cleveland, Buff
falo, Chicago and New York, have en-
rolled majority of the policemen on
some roads, which is necessary to
secure an agreement, and are nearing
that goal on other roads. A charter
has also been requested for local
at Youngstown, Ohio.

BUREAU OF MINES
CHIEF ASKS COAL
INDUSTRY ACTION
In Control of Death Producing Dust
Menace-Deaths Termed Excessive.

Chicago (ILNS).-Dust in the coal
industry is causing unnecessary death
and suffering, which the industry can
prevent by proper control measures,
the twenty ninth National Safety Con-
gress here was told.
Deaths and i'll health from pulmon-
ary diseases due to exposure of work
men to dust are excessive in the min
ing industry, DR.. R. R. Sayers, director
of the Bureau of Mines, Department of
the Interior, declared.
In paper read before the Mining
Section of the safety congress, DR..
Sayers called upon the mining indus
try to take proper measures of dust
control. He said that certain phases
of the recent growth of mechanical
mining in the bituminous coal indus
try has greatly increased the dust
hazards. He recommended specific
methods which coal companies could
use in controlling the dust menace.
Dusty Industries Hazardous
Statistics indicate, DR.. Sayers said,
that much higher i'll health and death
rates from pulmonary diseases, such
as bronchitis, influenza, pneumonia,
pulmonary tuberculosis and silicosis,
are experienced in dusty than in non
dusty industries, especially where
silica dust is used or produced. He re-
ported to the congress that recent in
vestigations contradict the assumption
that tuberculosis does not occur among
coal miners.
He cited as an example studies made
by the United States Public Health
Service which reveal that six per cent
of the hard-coal miners examined had
clinical pulmonary tuberculosis" The
average prevalence of this disease in
the adult male in the United States is
only two per cent
The comparatively recent growth of
mechanization of many of the phases
of bituminous coal mining has greatly
increased the dust production in the
mines, DIR. Sayers said. AS an ex-
ample, he explained that the use of
certain types of equipment for loading
coal in the mines creates 10 times
more dust than loading by hand labor.
Volume of Dust Increased
Not only do the mechanical opera
tions, such as drilling, cutting and
loading coal, create in themselves
more coal dust than hand operations,
but the use of machinery has speeded
up the entire process of mining. This
increase in the speed of mining adds
to the volume of coal dust created, due
to such factors as the increase in the
frequency of blasting, and the han
ding of much greater volume of coal
in the same length of time.
Stating that the aim should be to
eliminate the dust entirely, DR.. Sayers
said that where this is not always
feasible it may be possible to reduce
the dust to a concentration that will
not cause disability during working
lifetime.
He recommended numerous tech
nical methods of controlling dust in
mining operations, such as proper ven
tilation, "wet methods" of mining,
proper blasting practices, the use of
masks by the miners to protect them
selves from inhaling dust, and phys
ical examinations.

Hysterical Fear Imperils Our
Liberty, Col. Fleming Warns
In Speech Before Convention
United Typothetae of America Hears WageHou Admin
istrat0r Say Wage-Hour Law is One of Weapons We
Have Carefully Forged for Battle to Come.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Warn-
ing against hysterical fear which
might destroy freedom, Col. Philip B
Fleming, Wage-Hour Act administra-
tor, said that fervent faith in our land
can only be created by the sober work
of giving the 100000 unemployed
self-respecting jobs and hope for the
future.
Col. Fleming spoke before the an
nual convention of the United Ty-
pothetae of America here.
"Down through our history runs a
series of recurrent waves of public
hysteria, which, when they have
reached their crest, have swept before
them not only the rights of minorities
to freedom of the press but also to
freedom of speech and even trial by
jury" Col. Fleming said. ''Time and
again it has been proven that our con-
stitutional guarantees cannot depend
upon sanctity far above the current
level of public tolerance.
People Must Have Faith
"It is the level of public tolerance,
then, about which we should concern
ourselves in critical days which lie
ahead. What is the main component
of this tolerance? / think you will
agree with me that it is a happy and
prosperous people with an unshaken
faith in the men who lead them and in
the form of government under which
they live Men and women who feel
that they have a secure place in So
ciety are not subject to the contagion
of hysteria. And only tidal wave of
hysterical fear will succeed in sweep
ing from our land the foundation
stones of freedom.
GLOW do we instill this feeling of
security and faith? Americans are
not a dumb people. You cannot calm
their fears of joblessness, you cannot
kindle the fires of their patriotism
with mere words. This can only be
done by the sober, painstaking work
of putting our eight million unem-
ployed back on their feet by giving
them self-respecting jobs and hope for
the future.
"The Wage and Hour Law is one of
the weapons which we have carefully
forged for the battle to come. True,
it is not a very big or dramatic
weapon. 1t does not stir the magma
ton of most men as easily as does
squadron of flying fortresses. But it
will be just as useful to us in protect
ing our freedom.
Big Advance Made
"By means of it we have raised the
wages of nearly million of our fellow
citizens and we have broken the back
of inhuman hours of toll and of the
use of oppressive child labor in inter-
state commerce. We have released
thousands of dollars day in new pur-
chasing power not by the easy method
of turning on the printing presses but
by requiring that man be paid fair
wage for fair days work. These
dollars have gone where they will do
the most good in the shortest time
into the pockets of those at the bottom
of the economic ladder who immedi
ately shove them across counter IN
exchange for food, shelter and cloth
ing. And that new demand for food,
shelter and clothing creates new jobs,
more purchasing power and more jobs.
