Building Unions Cut
Wage Scales In N. Y.

New York City (ILNS).-In move
to increase employment by encourag-
ing building of small one and two
family houses, seven A. F. of L. build
ing trades unions in Bronx borough
adopted secondary wage scale, fol-
lowing meeting with Borough Presi-
dent James J. Lyons. The unions re-
duced their standard wage scales from
20 to 35 per cent.
Union representatives arranged the
meeting to enlist the aid of Lyons.
They said "there have been a few
builders not ready to accept the re-
duced secondary scale for union skilled
workers, most of whom live in the
Bronx, and have preferred to bring in
non-union workers from other places,
paying them far less than the union
SCALE"
Lyons appealed to these builders to
pay decent wages and not take ad-
vantage of other competitive builders
who are cooperating with the labor
representatives.
The unions adopting the new scale
were the plasterers, cement masons,
wood-wire and metal fathers, carpen-
ters, glazers, eXcavators and concrete
workers. Also represented at the
meeting were the electricians and
plumbers unions. They had already
adopted a secondary scale. 90

The Soviet "stranglehold" on Am
erican transportation, according to
the American Mercury article, is main
tanned through Communist domination
of three key labor unions: the Natl
onal Maritime Union, headed by Jo-

sociation on the Pacific coast, headed
by Harry Bridges, and the American
Communications Association, headed
by Mervyn Rathborne.
These three leaders and groups of
their associations, Harrison seeks to
prove by documentary citations, are
"all housekeeping on the Stalinist
party line."
Much of the material in the Mer-
curry article appeared in series by

The book includes all the Articles

Further, there is George Washing.

will find themselves checked tempor-

quiring them to wait after they apply
for a license or announce their in
tention to marry, or to take pre-
marital health tests, or both. Most Of
the laws requiring waiting periods are
directed against the so-called "Gretna
Green" marriages SO widely publicized
in recent years, and many have be-
come effective in the last year or two,
the Council of State Government says.
Waiting period laws became effective
in five states in 1889.

President Roosevelt Playing Great
Game, Says California Professor

President Roosevelt centerS around
the seriousness of the national and
international situation and the lack
of other first-rate leaders in the
Democratic party, according to DR..
Titus.
AS to the extent of public resent
ment against a third term, the
U.C.L.A professor declared "that
the American public will resent the
breaking of that tradition just ex-
actly to the extent that we have
American thought and action dom
inant in America in 1910. In other
words, Mr.. Roosevelt's chances for
a third term are significant only
insofar as we have the theory of
Stain or of Hitler or of II Duce or
a combination of these theories in
this country"
"In Europe certain men are be-
lieved to be Indispensable he de-
clared. I'm America at the present
no man has been Indispensable"
In order to meet the Roosevelt
mysteriousness and smart political
techniques, the Republican and DEM
ocrat forces will have to become
smart tacticians also in order to
oust the President who might con-
ceivably continue in office for a
total of IL years, he added.
