CLERKS WIN CHAIN
GROCERY STRIKE

Philadelphia, Pa.-Fifteen hundred
chain grocery stores in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware, closed
since October Is, reopened here when
members of the Retail Clerks Inter
national Protective Association, A. F.
of l.. affiliate, voted to accept the
agreement negotiated by union Off
cials with the Great Atlantic and Pa
cifc Tea Company and the American
Stores Company.
The clerks walked out when the
Philadelphia locals of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of North America struck
for higher wages. The butchers ne
gotiated a new contract shortly after
the strike carrying a minimum of $32
a week and managers of "super-mar-
kets" $40, but refused to cross the
clerks picket line until that union
also secured an agreement.
Donald ]. Marquis, vice-president
of the Retail Clerks, said the agree
ment, affecting more than 5000 en-
ployes, would cost the two companies
$5O0,O0O year in pay increases. The
new contract, to expire June /, 1912,
provides for general wage increases
of 81 to So weekly, closed shop, re-
employment of clerk-draftees without
loss of seniority or sick benefits, time
and-a-half for overtime to be paid in
cash rather than time off, the right
of the union to provide all new help,
and the right of an employe to refuse
to pass a picket line established by
another union.

CAPITAL MACHINISTS
ASK FOR HIGHER PAY

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-More
than 1,20O union machinists, at a mass
meeting here, protested against new
wage scales recently fixed by the
Navy Department Wage Board of Re-
view and asked reopening of the sur
vey into the wages of $500 Washing
ton Navy Yard machinists.
The meeting adopted resolution
protesting against the wage order as
hampering national defense. saying
in part:
"The conditions now prevailing of
low wage rates encourage workers
to accept private employment out
side the government service, which
in turn leads to the inability of the
Navy Yard to meet the requirements
put upon it in the national defense
program"
Officials of Columbia Lodge 174, In
ternational Association of Machinists,
declared that the rents Of many Navy
Yard machinists had been increased
by landlords who were under the
false impression that they had re-
ceived substantial pay increases.
The wage increases set by the wage
board have disappointed union work
ers, who declare the increases for
skilled workers are inadequate. Pro-
test has been general throughout the
nation.

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Som etimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

In this calmer atmosphere of three
weeks "after the event." there is one
teeney weeney thing that seems to
need writing about somewhere-and
it might as we'll be here.
Those who didn't turn their radio
dials to shut him out will remember
the caterwaulings of one Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson, as he trundled out his line
of horrendous warnings, rather pitt
full relic of the specter that was Hugh
Johnson in the days of NRA.
Still trading on the headlines he
got during that hectic period, Hugh
Johnson did his stint of high priesting
for whomsoever would listen to hear
him through.
Well, it wasn't easy to listen to
Hugh johnson for full session, but
for the sake of knowing just what
kind of show he could put on, it has
to be done-a chore for the benefit of
subsequent elucidation.
u
Johnson had two main strings to
his rather squeaky fiddle. One was
that we were headed hell-bent (and
he got away with those two words on
the air) for dictatorship and war; the
other that John L. Lewis was great
and good man.
Labor men who think that John l..
Lewis is something several shades be-
low sainthood will not soon forget the
aura of nobility which Hugh Johnson
sought to cast about the head of John
L. Lewis.
1t was almost Johnson's opinion, in
those radio diatribes, that Hugh
Johnson and John l.. Lewis were re-
sponsible for all that was done under
and by NRA. BY golly they were the
hard-riding twins in them thar days
if you listened to Johnson.
Johnson put the millions back to
work and Lewis put them into unions.
Of course there was nobody else
around in those days-just nobody
that n1attered.
It's easy to lay on the halos in retro
spect-easy to build up the Caesars.
So, let's have look at the record.
What sort of man was this cackling
Johnson in those days when NRA and
the Blue Eagle swept down upon the
country to give it lift?
Well, he was just about the most
absolute autocrat that ever had a
chance to WELD great power.
That he ganged up and played with
John L. Lewis doesn't have to be
proved; the General admits it.
But he doesn't drag out his own
dictatorship record. He's too wise for
that.
However, hundreds of labor
men will remember the "crack-
down" orders of that day-from
which there was NO APPEAL.
You dared at your peril.
"Crack down" became famous in the
headlines. Good old "Crack down
Hugh"
And thousands of labor men will
remember the petty despots that were
brought in by him and given power.

Washington, d. C.-The Concilia

Of these situations, 318 were

fields, and were utilized by employees

TRUST DRIVE HAILED
AS IRRESPONSIBLE"

New Orleans (ILNS). - Antitrust
action against labor unions by the De-
partment of Justice was branded
stubborn, capricious and irrespon-
sible" in the annual report of the
American Federation of Labor Exec
utive Council.
professor Thurman Arnold, AS
sistant Attorney General in charge of
the Antitrust Division of the De-
partment of Justice since 1888, has
begun to wage the most complete and
concentrated legal warfare against
labor ever attempted by a govern
ment agency in America" the coun-
Gil declared.
"Unless adequate measures are
taken," it said, "to cope with this
eccentric display of dangerous power,
we may stand to lose the precious
gains of 60 years of struggle for in
dustriai democracy at a time when
we could believe that government had
accepted the active organization of
labor as vital and necessary COM
ponent of our industrial life"
The report charges that Arnold S
drive is an effort at "perversion of
the statutes" expresses confidence the
Supreme Court will rule against the
drive and declares that it is the "firm
purpose of the A. F. of l.. to meet the
trend to government control of the
collective bargaining process through
the use of antitrust litigation"

recall, however, that ALI M. Landon,
the Republican presidential nominee
in 1885, went into the California
primary and lost, and that Landon
failed to enter the primaries in Wis

for example, and still came romping

Stelle is Lieutenant Governor and
Adamowski Is Democratic leader of

reason to believe that this may help

Garner gets a substantial vote, even
though the President wins the

the dory, others the yellow pike, and
some pickerel; in Northern Indiana
it is known as the jack salmon: in
the Mississippi Valley as the jack
and the blowfish.
The wall-eye pike loves the clear
water with rock and gravel. sand
and hard clay bottom. This fish is
greedy and voracious. The minnows
are consumed by the millions and the
young of the whitefish and other
important food fishes are always in
demand. Even crawfishes during
their season go to make the wall-eye
satisfied with its bill of fare.
The wall-eye varies greatly in size,
possibly when its food is not abun-
dant. The maximum length is about
feet and the weight about Is
pounds. The weight usually runs
about 10 pounds and the average
taken in Lake Maxinkuckee from 3
to pounds.
The spawning time is in the early
spring, as soon the the ice melts, In
shoal water usually on the margins
of the bars or where gravel or hard
bottoms are present. The eggs are
tiny, about 10000 to the quart. A
2-pound mother will lay about 10000
eggs and larger ones will produce
many more.
This is one of our favorite fishes,
as the flesh Is firm, flaky and white,
