Practical Survey of Hours And Wages
Used By Labor To Oppose Pdtmdn Bill

John Locher, president of the Cen

c., speaking for 100000 union men,
bers affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor opposed the Pat
man Bill before the House Ways and
Means committee. His report fol-
lows:
My appearance here in opposition
to H. r. is to report facts you may
find helpful.
Our opposition to putting the large
chain store operators out of business
or splitting them up, or paralyzing
their growth, is based on the simple
fact that our affiliated unions includ-
ing the building trades enjoy good re-
lations with the large chain operators.
This applies to chain-owned mercan-
tile drug and grocery companies and
also to the theaters and all gasoline
distributors with only one exception.
They have paid a great many millions
of dollars in wages to a great many
thousand union men here in the last
ten years, at the prevailing rates and
hours, and other conditions. We have
profted from their growth. Our men,
bers will lose much work if they are
destroyed or their growth is stopped.
Mr.. Patman says that is what H. R.
l would do to them. So we oppose

H. r. vigorously and emphatically.
If we enjoyed the same good rela-
tions with all competitors of the chain
stores in the District as we do with
some and if legislation was proposed
that would affect them as H. r. is
intended to affect the chains-and jobs
of our own members, too-we would
make an equally vigorous protest
against it's passage for the same rea-
sons.
1t is a matter of record with our
unions that our present good relations
with the chain store operators here
seem to grow directly or indirectly
from the size and scope of the chain
operators. Why bigness itself pro-
duces leadership that can and does
cooperate with us by employing or
ganized labor does not enter into the
present case. l can testify that we
have found we can negotiate good
contracts with large operators or their
contractors or landlords.
We have an example to prove this
in the District right now. There is a
building being put up for use by a
chain grocery company on a principal
avenue. Our men are working on the
job. They earn the identical scale of
wages which was fixed after public
