Overtime Was Paid
To Suve US CupifoI
Roof From Collapse
Officidl Of Building Trades
Answers Congressman
A. ]. Engel

Washington, D. C.-The hullabaloo
raised by Representative Albert j.
Engel (R.) of Michigan over the fact
that considerable overtime was paid
to workers repairing the roof of the
United States Capitol, which houses
the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives, was promptly silenced by
reply from John Locher, Secretary
of the Building and Construction
Trades Council of this city. He said:
"Like all those seeking to smear
organized labor, Representative Engel
ignores or deliberately seeks to hide
the pertinent facts.
"The ironworkers employed on the
job of repairing the roof of the
United States Capitol have an agree
ment with the contractor who is their
employer. Under the terms of this
contract their normal rate of pay is
$500 an hour for thirty hour week,
or $50 week. This is the union rate
of pay. 1t is not excessive for such
a hazardous occupation requiring a
high degree of skill and training Un-
der the Bacon-Davis Act, the Depart
ment of Labor has determined this to
be the prevailing rate foo skilled iron
workers in this community. The 80
cent hourly rate mentioned by Rep
resentative Engel was for common
labor.
However, this happens to be an
soh ,~l
years there has been danger of the
roof falling in. This was no secret.
The danger has been emphasized sew
eral times in official reports by the
responsible authorities. But Congress
didn't get around to doing anything
about it until just recently,
$50 now an acute emergency exists,
The architect of the Capitol is yell
ing for speed and more speed in get
ting the job done. The contractor
naturally has been forced to order
his men to work overtime. And the
men, in accordance with their union
agreement, have been receiving over
time rates of pay.
"The reason for Saturday and Sun
day work is the fact that Congress is
not in session during these days and
the work can proceed more rapidly
with less danger of accidents to the
members of Congress and their stats
Is that the fault of the workers?
"Overtime rates of pay are set by
unions at punitive levels, not to pro-
vide swollen pay envelopes for few
workers., but to induce employers to
spread the work among a greater
number of employees at regular rates
of pay and thus relieve unemploy-
ment.
"Now we find Representative En-
gel complaining that the Chickens
Matched by Congress in the form of
protective labor legislation like the
Bacon-Davis Act are coming home
to roost on the Capitol roof May we
inform the Congressman that these
chickens are safeguarding him and
his fellow-lawmakers from having the
roof crash in on their heads?"

Citizens Groups
Playing Part In
Housing Program
Their Work Enables Organ.
izotion To Evaluote
Civic Interest

Chicago GLNS). - Public housing
in the United States is receiving the
cooperation of growing number of
local citizens housing organizations,
the total reaching al in 33 cities re-
Gently with the establishing of citi-
zens' housing groups in Baltimore,
Sacramento, and Quincy, Ill.
In addition, the San Francisco
Housing Association was revived re-
Gently, a California State Housing
Association of local groups has been
formed, while the National Commit
tee of Housing Associations, ma
tional organization of local groups,
is in the formative stage.
First Housing Group
The first local citizens housing
group was the Association for I'M
proving the Conditions of the Poor,
organized in 1853 in New York City,
according to the National Association
Of Housing Officials. Local groups
formed since then and still function
ing include the Housing Association
Of Metropolitan Boston, the Citizens
Housing and Planning Council of De-
troit, the Chicago Metropolitan Hous-
ing Council, and the Better Housing
League of Cincinnati and Hamilton
County, Inc.
Activities Of the citizens organiza-
tions are contributing to public hous-
ing in many fields, the National AS
sociation of Housing Officials says
Besides engaging in research, the
groups campaign for enforcement of
health, sanitary and building codes,
stimulate new building and the i'm
provement of the old; conduct house
keeping services and training courses
| investigate rents, sales, foreclosures,
vacancies and construction of build
ings; conduct public education and ap-
probation campaigns; and cooperate
with and consolidate efforts Of other
social agencies Of the city.
Their work enables the local groups
to evaluate and to arouse civic in
terest in the programs of public and
private housing, and to offer con-
structive criticisms and suggestions,
the association said.
Most Of the organizations are
financed by membership dues and con-
tributions; several receive financial
support from their local Community
Chests or similar organizations.

maximum utilisation in these circum-
stances of emergency.
He instanced the case of one air
craft works where the amount of
skilled labor in use represented % per
cent of the works personnel. Train
ing arrangements, and the transfer
Of skilled men from this works to
train craftsmen for employment in
other works resulted in this par
ticular factory reducing its ratio of
skilled craftsmen from % per cent
to per cent. And yet by using new
methods this works attained an enor-
nous increase in output,
How Unions Helped
Without the goodwill and active
cooperation of the Trade Unions
these results in the expansion of
British war production could not
have been achieved. Ernest Bevin as
Minister of Labor told Parliament
that within 48 hours of his taking
office in May last he had been able
to secure an agreement with the
Amalgamated Engineering Union and
other Unions in the skilled trades for
the training Of men and women, in
the main newly recruited to the en-
gineering industry, on actual pro-
duction work in the industry.
This has been recognized by the
Government as very great conces-
sion on the part of the Unions. A
graduated rate of pay has been fixed
for the trainees, and they gain as well
as the nation and industry, because
from being unskilled or semi-skilled
workers they qualify for the highest
grades of skilled work with commen-
surate pay.

New York Homework Law
Held Applicable To Men

Albany, y. Y.-Justice William L.
Murray of the New York Supreme
Court upheld the State Labor De-
partment's right to regulate men
workers as we'll as women and minors
under the provisions of the 'Indus-
trial Homework" Act. Ruling that
exclusion of male workers would per-
petuate a 'social and economic evil"
he said the text of the law 'clearly
shows the legislative purpose and in
tent to regulate and prohibit indus
trial homework as to all classes of
persons engaged in such occupation"
with the objective of effecting the
gradual elimination of industrial
homework"

FURTHER SECURITY URGED

Washington, D. Cit is essential
that we continue to build upon gains
already made under the social security
program, said Chairman Arthur j.
Altmeyer of the Social Security Board
in year-end review of security prog
ress. Further progress in social Sc
curity during 194l and succeeding
years will greatly help in promoting
our national security" he added. He
warned that as the national defense
program developes, "it becomes in
creasingly necessary to plan ahead for
the employment, health, and unem-
ployment problems which are ahead of
us"

PAPERS DROPPED BY PLANE

Miami, Fla.-Many winter visitors
seeking rest and quiet on a group of
subtropical, remote islands off Fort
Myers, Fla, demand their morning
newspapers early in the day. So the
Fort Myers News-Press has an air
plane newsboy who flys over the
islands before breakfast, dropping
papers off to subscribers without
landing. The route requires a As
minute flight.

SOUND

SOUND-
The American Federation Of Labor
has survived because fundamentally
and primarily it is sound in structure,
aim and personnel. With nearly
100000 members it will naturally
accumulate weak and sometimes Grim
inal men and it will possess the faults
that America possesses, being, as it
is, complete cross section of national
life. And yet no organization like this
under the attacks that have been
heaped upon it for 60 years could live
unless it was sound at heart and un-
less hundreds of thousands of anony-
nous people gave literally to it in
sacrifice and energy.

It's a Pyrrhic victory, so far, which
the anti-Stalinites won when Profess
sor Mills was appointed to the Natl
onal Labor Relations Board. SO in
tense was the advance ballyhoo that
he would work hand in glove with
William Leiserson that he now bends
over backwards to avoid such action
until "the has become detailedly ia
miliar" with the labor situation
throughout the country.
The boys in Washington's back
rooms tell us that recently when the
board met to consider reinstating
Dave Saposs and his entire Division
of Economic Research, Edwin Smith
told the others that Saposs' reinstate-
ment would force him to "make a
public stink" about it in Congress and
in the press. The matter was drop
ped like an Italian General on the
Greek front. So Ed Smith, intimate of
Harry Bridges, hahi.ye of the COM
rades' Washington cocktail front, and
associate of the chief stockholders in
Transmission Belt Corporation of
America, still runs the board.
Congress was held in check when it
wanted to amend the N. l.. r. A., and
pass anti-strike legislation, only by
the expectation that Mills appoint
ment would mean a wholesale house
cleaning and reorganization of the
board. And now the good professor
won't act because of fear of being la
belled Leiserson's stooge. So no move
is being made to GUST the machinery
which the Stalinites installed when
the controlling team was the Smith
Madden combination. The n. l.. R.
BIS important work is done down at
base rock by the field investigators, a
majority of which salaam in the di-
rection of Moscow the Mecca each
morning.
What's needed now is a survey of
the field by someone like Gilmore Her
rick who knows what the tovarischi
can do. If Mrs. Herrick, or some one
like her doesn't get the chance, the
Smith Committee will, and then there
will be no N l.. R. B. for all the lads
who want collective bargaining.
Government circles are gleeful over
the neutralizing effect Of Jap and
Nazi agents working in this country.
The Jap's men are trying to get us
into war with Germany, while the
Germans are circulating throughout
the larger cities of the West stirring
people up against the Nipponese. On
the west coast the Communists are
working closely with Goebbels men.
