Prominent On Calendar Of
Supreme Court Next Week

ca An appeal by the unemp!oy-
,,a,>t Con1DansatiOn Commission from
7 decision Of the Superior court up
holding an award by the Industrial
Commission to Neil McRae, U. {. {.
,mplyvc who claims he contracted
tuberculosis as the result Of being
compelled TO work in close proximity
to fellow emplOye with the disease.
The u. G.. G. contends that the mere
introduction into the human body OF
invisible bacilli or bacteria is not an
accident" for which compensation
can be awarded. The Industrial Com
mission ruled that there was evil
ience of specific exposure to the dis
ease and further found as fact that
the space occupied by the U. c. c.
was inadequate for the work to be
done and for the several hun dred
employees required TO occupy it.
go Appeal of the Prudential In
surance Company Of America, from
/ Superior court decision, that threw
the case out on the ground it IS an
action within the prohibition Of suits
against the State in its sovereign ca
Dacity and further that the Unem-
9loyment Compensation Act provides
remedies which plaintiff should pIlr-
sue.
The company had sought a court
declaration that certain Of its agents
are not "employees' within the
meaning of the U. c act and, there
lore. the company need not pay the
unemployment compensation tax on
their earnings.

partment agent who defaulted in

60 Appeal Of the Wake county
board OF commissioners, the tax su-
pervisor and The tax collector from
a decision denying them the right
10 make and collect a tax levy against
Sir Walter Lodge No. al, Indepen-
dent Order OF Oid Fellows, for the
biz Odd Fellows Building, on the
southeast corner OF Salisbury and
Target streets in Raleigh; which
building is occupied by many bust
ness and professional firms and the
tents from which amounts to several
thousand dollars year.
The county contends that the
Lodge is not benevolent, charitable

with respect to the property involved
in the suit because "Plain,If has not

In general, the contention of the
county is that the ownership of the
building nominally by the Odd Fell
low lodge is merely a blind to hide
behind in order to avoid payment OF
taxes. Says It's brief:
"Plaintiff has not done even the
acts Of charity that are provided for
py its charter and has not used the

and ownership OF its property in &C

T. A. Rickert, General President
Of the United Garment Workers of
America, has been a member of a
Labor Union since he was nineteen.
In 1904 he was chosen General
President Of the United Garment
Workers of America and still holds
that Office.
In 1913 he was elected Vice
President of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor and is serving in
that capacity at the present time.
He is also a member of the Execu-
tive Council of the American Fed

active part in solving the problems
of all American workers.
Mr.. Rickert is one of the most
active and enthusiastic supporters
of the Union Label idea. He is
Vice President of the Union Label
Trades Department and takes
great interest in publicizing and
promoting all Union Labels, Shop
Cards and Service Buttons. He
was the pioneer in the Union Label
field of the garment industry.
At the beginning of the World
War in 1917 President Wilson ap.
pointed Mr.. Rickert as a member
of the National War Labor Board

a member of the Industrial Con-
ference. During the depression in
1884 he was appointed by Presi-
dent Franklin Roosevelt to a posi-
ton on the Mems Clothing and

cry Act. He also served as a direc-
tor of Federal Prison Industries,
Inc, on which board he is still
serving.
Mr.. Rickert avoids the limelight
but works quietly for the improve
ment Of the conditions of Labor.
He has won ii sheer ability the
esteem and - sect of the Labor

Anti-Ldbor Nonsense" Is
Ridiculed By Fleming

New York, N. Y.-Federal Wage
Hour Administrator Philip B. Fleming
told the convention of Government La
Dor Officials that it is "just nonsense"
to believe that breaking down labor
standards would promote national de-
fense
"The argument that a serious labor
shortage in some of the skilled trades
necessitates longer hours of work is,
likewise, to my way of thinking, mis-
guided" Colonel Fleming added.
"There are today eight or ten million
Americans looking for work."
Isador Lubin, United States Com
missioner of Labor Statistics, asserted
that the country should be able to
prosecute it's $4,000, 100000 national
defense program without He further
said: "In fact, believe we should be
able to raise our standards Of living
during this national emergency"
Robert j. Watt Of the A. f. of l..
explained organized labor's attitude
when he said "it wants a full share
of participation and representation in
the operation of the national defense
program"

GARMENT WORKERS
LABEL

The United Garment Workers Of
America uses the above Label,
which distinguishes the class Of
merchandise for which Label is
issued by running through the
center on the face Of the Label
in line type the word "Clothing"
as on the above. On others: "Spe-
cial Order Clothing" "Custom
Made" Duck Goods" or "Neck-
wear" This Identification of prod
uct is made clear either in line
letters across face of Label or
printed at one end of same.
The United Garment Workers of
America adopted the Union Label
in 1891. At that time tailors
worked 16 hours per day under the
task and sweating system. Ninety
eight per cent of the tailoring
industry was done in tenement
house shops; operators furnished
their own thread and machines
and it was common practice for
much of the work to be done in
the living room in which the family
slept. Tailors worked as many as
7S to S6 hours per week. The
United Garment Workers were
greatly instrumental in having
laws passed abolishing the opera
ton of tenement house shops, the
task, sweating system and home
work. Wages were standardized
and increased from year to year.
Hours were reduced until now the
work clothing business is on 40
hour-week basis and 36 hours in
the mems clothing industry. The
Garment Workers industry was
one of the first to establish the
five-day work week.
Millions of the United Garment
Workers of Americas Union
Labels are used annually. 1t is
the only official emblem in the
mems clothing industry that is
recognized by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

Facing the Facts
With PHILIP PEARL

This week we are turning over the
column to an employer. His message
is more significant than anything we
could undertake to write. His name
is Boiling Jones, Jr., and he is Presi-
dent and general manager of the At
lanta Stove Works, Atlanta, Ga.
A few days ago this company and
Local 273 of the International Molders
Union of North America celebrated
their 5Oth anniversary in Atlanta. Mr..
Jones, for the occasion, wrote brief
history Of the relations between the
company and the union. 1t was first
published in the Atlanta Journal of
Labor.
With this brief introduction, we give
you Mr.. Jones:
eight years prior to the Spanish
American War, and over a generation
before the government found it neces-
sary to pass legislation to protect the
working man by guaranteeing his
right to organize, a new little stove
foundry and union got together in
Atlanta to make stoves. They had
plenty of problems confronting them.
They were surrounded by open shops,
cheap labor, high freight rates, preju-
dice against southern-made goods, and
hundreds of other things that made
their future appear anything but
bright.
"This little stove shop was the At
lanta Stove Works and the union was
Local 273 of the International Iron
Molders' Union of North America
They worked together through two
wars, six major depressions and sue
cessfully weathered the trials and
tribulations incident to a small grow
ing concern. They are now both cele-
brating their golden anniversary and
have great deal to show for the half
century of working together in peace
and harmony, based on mutual un-
derstanding Of each others problems.
A Half Century of Growth
"From handful of molders, max
ing one short line of cheap black
stoves, they have grown to a concern
making hundreds of different kinds
of stoves, with an annual payroll ap-
proximating one quarter of a million
dollars. The company now occupies
the enviable position of one of the
leading stove manufacturing plants in
the whole country. Both the company
and the union are to be congratulated
by al friends of union labor.
'''There is something rare in the re-
lationship of such an employer and
such employees. Some Of the same
workmen who started out so years
ago are still with the firm, and in
great many instances, the son has re-
placed the father and carried on. All
of this without strife gives quite an
example to other firms and other
unions. No law had to be passed to
get this employer and these employees
to drop to eight hours day. No leg
islation was needed to force a living
wage. Time and a half for overtime
was a normal thing that did not wait
for the New Deal. Good working con-
ditions were taken for granted. No
misunderstanding occurred, because
the employer and the employe were
working toward the same thing and
talked things over in the American
way.
"Would that all employers and en-
ployes were like these two!"
