Carpenters Fight Attempt To Use Old
''No Trespass" Law to Stop Workers

klamath Falls, Ore. (ILNS)-Ef-
forts of several lumber operators in
the Klamath Falls area to prevent or
ganzation of their employees by fall
ing back on an old "no trespass" law
on the Oregon statute books is being
fought vigorously by the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, A. f. of l..
The Brotherhood has filed suit
against five lumber firms, seeking a
declaratory judgment from the court
to declare the "no trespass" statute
inapplicable as against union.
The statute in question makes a
trespasser subject to fine of not less
than $50 nor more than $1,000 or by
Imprisonment in the county jail for
not less than one month and not more
than one year.
Counsel for the union holds that the
employers are subject to the Wagner
act, inasmuch as their product is
shipped in interstate commerce, and
that exercise of the trespass statute
as against labor organizer is a vio-
lation of the labor measure.

RADIO AID TO FIRE FIGHTING

Washington, d. c. Cooperative
use of police radio is increasing the
effectiveness of fire-fghting forces in
many American cities, report from
the International City Managers As
sociation show. Over one-way radio
system, fire officials may detail com
panies to fires, order follow-up ma
neuvers by other companies, recall
companies, and shift equipment and
men from fire to fire. When a two
way system is available; fire depart
ment headquarters can maintain con-
tinuous contact with companies in the
field and in stations In this way
"back-road brush fires can be brought
into a close coordination with head
quarters as blazes in mid-city build
ings," the report said.

MORE THAN THEORY NEEDED

PUBLIC policy has long TecognlZed, in Theory
at least, that it is not only more decent, but
cheaper, to provide for the victims of industrial
accidents through compensation insurance than
Through relief or charity-and that it is even more
economical to prevent many of the years 375,O00
|inju uries by doing a thorough job of industrial
safety and industrial hygiene, the U. S. Depart
Iment of Labor says.
The unfortunate thing about the industrial ac-
cident situation is that employer recognition of
the principle that accident prevention is cheaper
than compensation is too often matter of theory.
If employers generally would make accident pre-
vention fact, instead of theory the workers and
the nation would gain immeasurably.
Steadily growing public recognition that accl-
dent prevention pays in every way is a cheering
factor in the situation. When public sentiment
forces action-real action-accidents in industry,
the home, agriculture and the highways will be
minimized and an accident record that is now a
national disgrace will be a thing of the past.

FOUNDATIONS FIRST
THE basic work of the labor movemer

THE basic work of the labor movement is always
organizing WOrk-getting new workers into
existing unions, helping these trade uniOnists to
work in and through their union, and forming
unions in new industries and previously unorgan-
lied industries. The fundamental step in union
ism is to conceive workers that quiet, thorough
and intelligent action will assure sustained prog
ress, whereas chance may bring some good luck
but also much hard luck. Those who get ahead
plan to get ahead Those who do not plan, must
take whatever comes along, and lose the chance to
control their futures. Those who want justice,
must be ready to defend their rights and to help
create the machinery for doing justice.
The difference between successful business eX-
ecutives and those who fail is that they have an
organization constantly on the job. No one person
can work all the time or do all the work. But by
organizing all concerned to that end, some per
son will be constantly on the job all the time So
with Wage-earnerS Individual workers cannot be
giving time and effort to the question of wages
hours and work rules, and even if they could, the
manager could not possibly give separate hearing
to each worker The intelligent way, then, is fol
workers to have representatives to take up those
questions with the management. If these repre-
Sentatives are not dependent upon the manage
ment for Jobs, they can present the case for the
workers with independence and with due regard
for all relevant facts By this sort of business az
rangement wage-earners can have experts taking
care of their interests and plans for promoting the
welfare of workers become a sustained undertake
ing.
Preliminary to any such arrangement IS con-
viction on the part of individuals that they want
to make progress in their own living and that col
lectve action is the way to that end. When work
er knows what he wants to do he can bend his ef-
forts in that direction
1t is the responsibility of those who care fol
the welfare of Labor and those who are concerned
for the balanced progress Of all groups of Society
to promote organization among all groups OF wage
earners. A realization Of the social and economic
benefits Of unions to Labor and the community lies
back of our legislation assuring Wage-earners the
right to union membership for the purpose of
choosing representatives for collective bargaining
with their employers or his representatives.
Extension of unionizatiOn to all workers and
all industries is the first step toward their sus-
tanned progress. The second step is development
and improvement Of the agencies and procedures
of collective bargaining

and local housing authorities in aid of sum clear
ance and the construction of houses at rents which
the low-income groups can pay. 1t also provides
for the construction Of low-rent housing in rural
las we'll as in urban areas.
The deplorable housing conditions now imposed
on multitudes of workers in the low-income groups
would undoubtedly be ameliorated by the Wagner
Bill. 1t would also promote improved business
conditions in all industries furnishing materials
and supplies for building purposes. Finally, it
would provide employment at reasonable wages for
large numbers of workers now in the jobess
army.
The prompt enactment Of the Wagner Bill by
the House of Representatives would be definitely
lin the public interest. There should be no delay
in making it statute law.

RAILROAD INTELLIGENCE
(From the Washington Daily Ne

From the Washington Daily NeWs)
Eastern railroads, excepting the Baltimore
and Ohio, opposed the Interstate Commerce
Commission order by which their basic coach pass
enger fares have just been reduced from 212 cents
a mile to cents.
Yet these roads have joined in vigorous ad-
vertisng campaign to "sel' the new low fares
In addition, they go the |. c. c. better by Of
fering round-trip fares, figured on the principle
that "the farther you go the more you save
which work out to rate Of only ~ cents a mile
for trips of more than 500 miles each way
The eastern railroads are showing real intel
ligence here. Most of them have maintained that
the 2-cent fare is not the to their problem
But, instead of sulking because the |. c. c. over
ruled them, they are pitching in to promote the
2-cent fare with as much apparent enthusiasm as
if it had been their own idea.
If their campaign succeeds, it will prove that
their past attitude has been mistaken. We hope
it will succeed spectaculary and we believe it can
The theory that many passengers at a small profit
on each is deserving of a fair trial.

LOW-RENT HOUSING

HUNDREDS of thousands Of workers in The low
~ income groups still lack adequate housing
within their financial ability. There is no denial
of the fact that large numbers Of ow-paid work
ers compelled to live in sum areas reeking with
dilapidation and disease which responsible fol
much crime. In addition, the living standards OF
millions Of families are undermined by economic
conditions in the slums.
In order to provide decent dwelling accommo
dations for workers now consigned to the slums
and at the same time provide employment for the
jobless in many trades, the Wagner Low-Rent
Housing and Stun Clearance Bill has already beer
passed by the Senate and reported favorable by
the House Committee Banking and Currency

PEDESTRIAN DANGERS EMPHASIZED

7F71E tenth annual safety bulletin recently ISSUED
by the Travellers Insurance Company views
with growing concern the increase in automobile
pedestrian accidents, particularly in metropolitan
at night, and devotes an entire section to the
problems of the man on foot.
One graphic Illustration shows that while q
man takes one step and advances one yard an au-
tomobile being driven at 80 miles an hour adj
vances nine yards. Another shows that pedes
tran in dark clothing is all but invisible to the
driver at night mere 100 feet away but is clearly
visible in light clothing up to 200 feet or more.
Failure on the part of both drivers and pedes
trans to appreciate these and many other facts
was largely responsible for the record of 1247(
pedestrians killed and almost 100000 injured ir
1889, the report says.

THE ONLY INDEPENDENT WORKERS

E't1E average OF union wages is double the
average of non-union wages
There are men still foolish enough to parrot
the employers bunk about the independence of the
non-union man.
Where there is non-unionism, the only man
who has any independence is the employer.
The union man has the only true independence
He is the only worker who has rights He is the
only worker who has a real say as to his wages
his hours, his conditions of work
The non-union worker has few rights, no in
dependence, no freedom-and in addition he pays
"a high price for his state of subserviency
How can any man afford so high price fol
such ignominy?
And, why are there any non-unon workers?

ANOTHER PUBLIC HOUSING BENEFIT

T COMMUNITY activities of tenants in public low
rent housing projects are proving of great
benefit in .upbuldng civic morale and bettering
general living conditions throughout the various
neighborhoods, recent survey of the United
States Housing Authority shows.
Reports from the managements of USHA
projects in many parts of the country indicate that
social, cultural and recreationa facilities provided
in the projects are being used in perfect harmony
by the tenants and their neghbors.
This, according to Nathan Straus, Admnistra-
tor of the USHA, completely disproves contentious
that such facilities in public housing projects
might cause dissension between tenants and other
families in their immediate localities and gives
impressive demonstration of general benefit OBJ
tanable through the USHA program.
Community activities sponsored and organized
by tenants in public housing projects meet ready
acceptance by any average American family. Of
prime Importance, is the recognition of the desire
of the average family for congenal associates,
freedom from RECOMMENDATION, opportunities for en-
joyment of leisure, recreation and culture. These
activities range from study groups in child well
fare for eXpectant mothers to pinochle clubs for
