The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-12-19
Union Gougers

As labor paper we have been free in our
criticism Of conscienceless employers who prey
upon workingmen. II is no more than fitting
for organized labor to turn attention to mis-
management in its own house.
Last week the constituencies practice of re-
curing an electrician to pay $500 initiation
fee to union in order to work on the national
defense project at Fort George G. Meade in
Maryland received nationwide prominence.
We condemn this racket and hang our heads
in shame at the just criticism Of organized la.
Dor. Of course the Union in question is A. F.
Of L., but the shame hangs in the public mind
on all unionism.
The only bright spot in the picture is that
the C. |. o. is making great efforts to correct
the evil. For example to join the United Con-
struc.ion Workers of the c. I. o. costs from
two to FIVE dollars and similar low fees are
charged in the c. I. O.'s Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers Of America.
One Of the disturbing features in con-
nection with the matter is that the incl
dent complained Of kept q needy and
needed skilled brakeman from work on
a national defense project which is al
ready behind schedule. This does not 60
well in view of the high minded mouth
ings made at the recent A. F. Of L. con-
vention. We respectfully refer the matter
to Philip Pearl, A. F. Of L. publicist,
whose stock in trade is exposing" the
''unpatriotie" c. |. o.
If the national prominence given to this evil
results in eurbing the A. F. of L. racketeers,
the incident will not have been in vain.
The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-12-19

Issues of concern to Western Maryland and
Cumberland were placed prominently before
the State clio Convention in Hagerstown.
The politicians who run the City Of cumber.
land again had advertised to the rest of the
State of Maryland that they have no respect
for the United States Supreme Court.
The illegal handful and newspaper ordi-
nance was blasted and the press of Maryland
was called upon to expose the attack on their
freedom. II is not expected that they will do
so in this instance, because they know full well
that il takes courage to speak out against
politicians.
The illegal picketing ordinance was also con-
demned and a promise of State Clio aid to
any who fall victim was given.
The Convention action to move against the
excuses Of thugs who are CARRIED in the uni
forms of company police was also given wide
prominence in the press Of the territory.
Il is safe to say that Congressman William
d. Byron moved up high in the regard of the
delegates by his outspoken statement of his
own position on this matter, and the incident
might properly be taken note of by the MEM
bers Of the Allegany County delegation to the
Maryland General Assembly.
The organization plans already under way
in Hagerstown are also of Western Maryland
concern. These efforts are being Immediately
increased by addition of Cumberland organ
izer who will be on the job this week. In
creased organization of Hagerstown will re-
feet upon conditions up here, matter which
should be appreciated by all concerned.

The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-12-19

Observant persons can hardly doubt that
there are imminent signs OF a blitzkreg on
labor The loose and defamatory talk in the
House of Representatives leaves but little
doub. Of VIVA, the tories hope to accomplish
under the guse Of national defense. All their
efforts to hamstring the Wagner Act the Wages
and Hours Act and the Walsh.Healey Act will
be as nought when such valiants as Clare
Hoffman of Michigan and Banker Smith go
down the labor trail with their national defense
war whoops aringing.
Last Monday congressman named Albret
|. Engel of Michigan read list of wages being
paid to structural steel workers engaged in re-
pairing the roof Of the Capitol building. He
said one worker received $92 wages for the
week ending December /. He said: i was
so amazed could scarcely believe the facts.
Il seems to me to nave people draw money
out OF the Treasury to that extent is out
rageous.
He reported that the check included time
and a half for week days and double time for
Saturday and Sunday. Now what we wonder
is why the Congressman is so outraged at
man receiving $92 for seven days work'
We believe that Congressman Engel him
self is drawing many times more out OF the
Treasury than did steel worker Burke who
received $o2. II il is outrageous" for a
workman why is it not outrageous for a
Congressman
In fact we doubt that Congressman Engel
could do the job which workman Burke did.
Il takes skill and nerve to be structural steel
worker and everyone knows that il takes moth
ing except brass lungs to be Congressman.

that Ford explain the discrepancy
between this action and the state

sonnet director. last week that the

to discriminate against union

"The question I raise vitality
concerns the national defense

Ford Motor Company has been
entrusted with large volume Of
defense work. yet Il displays no
intention whatever Of abiding
by the requests Of President

JEWS IN GERMANY
ARE HIT BY WAR
U. S. State Department Reg
ulations Are Reducing
Number OF Emigrants
BY PRESTON L.. GROVER

BERLIN, July 16.-R1 e W S n
people in Germany look with IN
creasing dismay at a combination
of war circumstances and Amer
lean state department regulations
affecting their departure from the
Reich.
The two factors, it was said to-
day, are cutting down the number
Of Jewish emigrants to the United
States.
Several Jews said they had been
on the point of receiving vlsas,
had sold their furniture and other
properties and even bought railway
and steamship tickets, when they
were abruptly rejected.
They asserted that the new line
of questioning was evidently based
on fears in America of Fifth Col
umn" operations.
Reliable sources said there was
no new line of questioning involved,
but that recent instructions from
the state department in Washing
ton advised special care 10 pass
only applicants capable of becom-
ing true Americans.
Transportation troubles also him
der emigrants.
The German occupation of Nor
them European countries, o n 6
with the Italian entrance into the
war, combined to cut off all but
the most circuitous routes to the
United States.
Moreover, no visas are being is
sued to prospective emigrants I'M
less they are assured they have
a way of leaving Germany.
Of 70 applicants called up in the
current week, only three were re-
ported to have an avenue of leav-
ing Germany. z

LIBRARY RECEIVES
COLONIAL RECORDS
Mrs. Lucille Marvin Donates
Ten Volumes In Memory
OF Clayton Giles

Mrs. Lucille Murchison Marvin
has given the Wilmington Public
library ten volumes of the Colonial
Records of North Carolina in men,
ory of her stepfather, Clayton
Giles.
These volumes, explained Miss
Emma Woodward, librarian, are
the most authoritative and tn e
most priced of all histories Of the
state. They are exceedingly rare
and highly valuable, she said.
The books, in excellent condi-
ton, have been placed in the il
brary's North Carolina room along
with other literature dealing with
the past and present Of the state.
The Colonial Records contain all
important records and papers of
the development of the state. They
were collected and compiled by
William L. Saunders, former Sec
rotary Of state.
Printed in 1886, they cover a
period in the states history ex-
tending from 1862 to 1776.
With these additions, Miss Wood
ward said, the North Carolina room
now has one of the finest collec-
tons of state literature to be found
in this section. It is particularly
adaptable, she said, to use by his
torians and researchers.
She expressed thanks in behalf
of the library and its users for the
gift by Mrs. Marvin. ]

PITTSBURGH, July 16.-R-The
Pirates spotted the Brooklyn Dodg-

back to peat them S to 3 with some
concentrated hitting in the sixth and
eighth innings.
The loss dropped the Dodgers to
8 1-2 games behind the idle Cincin-
natl Reds.
Each team got eight hits, but
Pittsburgh crowded four, including
three doubles, into the sixth inning
to tie the score and added two more
and their winning runs in the eighth.
John Lanning went the route for
the Pirates for the first time this
year. He was touched for two runs
in the first inning on three walks
and a double by Dixie Walker. He
might have been spared some trou-
BILE, however, if Arky Vaughan had
held onto a throw from Catcher AL
Lopez when Peewee Reese attempted
to steal second. Reese was safe and

Phelps to fill the bases before Walker
doubled.

When the Pirates finally started
rolling, they knocked Tex Carleton
out of the box in the sixth. Lanning
himself led off with a double into
the left field corner. Pep Young
doubled to the same spot, scoring
tanning, and went to third on a fly.
Bob Elliott singled him home.
Vaughan forced Elliott and then
scored on a double by Elbie Fletcher.
Tot P%ressnell halted this rally, but
in the eighth he gave up two runs
on a single by Young, a triple by Ell
lott and a forceout, and was charged
with the loss.
