AS Moral Danger
NEW YORK. Nov. 27 cUp)

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 up -
Archbishop Francis j. Spcllman de-
nounced Greta Garbo'S new motion
picture, Two Faced Woman today
as suggestive and dangerous tC
public morals" and warned, in "
letter to be read Sunday at all
Masses in the New York Archdio-
Ccse, that seeing it would be an Gc-
CasiOn of sin.
It was believed to be the first time
that an Archbishop OF New York
had condemned a specific picture
A statement from the chanrerl
of the Archdiocese pointed out that
the National Legion of DeCCnCY haC
charged: "GDThat this motion pic
ture reflects an immoral and III
decent attitude toward marriaeC
and the obligations of marrla9,
t2)It is impudcntly suggestive in it
scenes, its dialogue and its @ltua-
tions. 80 Its costumine is sugees-
tive"
The statement added il WAS real
lied "unScrupulouS men might t.
plot such criticism to increase
their financial profits on the fruit
of corruption Of children. youth anC
adults but. nevertheless, the na-
jority of American men and WcmeL

had been able to maintain substantial
organization. During this dispute Mr..
Currier brought several carloads of
his employees to the Sibley Company.
These men went to work in the yards
and generally acted as strikebreak-
ers. / have in my hand a sworn affi-
davit from Mr.. William w. Roe, Sec
retary-treasurer of Local 247. The
affidavit deals with Mr.. Curriers' ac-
tivities in this dispute. 1t reads as
follows: 4 met Mr.. Currier on the
sidewalk outside the Sibley Lumber
Company and challenged him on his
activities as strikebreaker. Mr.. Cur
rier replied the lumber company did
not intend to have any union men of
any kind and that he would assist in
helping any dealer, whether it be
lumber or otherwise, in breaking a
strike. He said that as long as we
were in the city of Detroit the union
would be threat to their industry
AS result of Mr.. Curriers' strike
breaking assistance to the Sibley
Lumber Company the truckers union
lost it's entire membership in this
yard.
"Again, in September, 1888, when
the truckers union called strike
against the Braun Lumber Company,
Mr.. Currier pledged his support to
this company and started making de-
liveries for the struck plant from his
own yards. This dispute lasted nine
weeks and it was chiefly the Currier
Company's delivery of the struck
plants materials that broke the strike.
This was again major setback in
the unions attempt to improve work
ing conditions of it's membership and
stabilize employer relationship in the
lumber industry"

Anti-Ldbor Bill Fought
By California Unions

San Francisco, Calif.-In accord
ance with a plan outlined by the re-
cent convention of the California State
Federation of Labor, the federation
has initiated statewide campaign
against the adoption by referendum
of Senate Bill No. SIT, which proposes
to nullify the activities of organized
labor in it's efforts to protect the in
tcrests of its members. The fedora
tion urges raising fund of so cents
per member from all affiliated unions
to finance the campaign against the
adoption of the bill.
Ordinarily the referendum would
take place at the regular 1912 elec-
ton, but the anti-labor Associated
Farmers has petitioned the Governor
to order a special election, which, if
granted, will shorten the campaign.
The federation convention also sup
ported whatever action is deemed
necessary by the administration to
make sure that American aid" to de-
feat the Axis powers reaches its
destination" asked legislation to re-
duce the working hours of firemen in
municipal fire departments in Cali
fornia in many of which the fremen
work from "S4 to 16S hours per
week "

ever the truth Of President Dutfy's
statement of last July that you do
not need closed shop in the con-
tract to increase your membership.
The membership realizes more and
more each week that he was right in
more ways than one. They have been
averaging from six to eight new mem
bers every week since the cessation
of work last June. To date they have
in the neighborhood Of so new mem
bers. There are new members who a
year ago would not even listen to talk
about becoming members Of Local TT
and are now some of the most out
standing members.
The members enjoyed the recent
visit of Vice President Charles Jor-
dan and Organizer Pat Calvert They
always look forward to any of the
members of the Executive Board pay
ing them a visit. Since this is a young
local it would appreciate receiving
correspondence from other locals OF
the Brotherhood.
Local No. TITS contract will be
reopened the latter part of Novem-
ber to consider wages and conditions
to meet the uphill trend of our mod
ern world. This local also hopes to
have the Brotherhood Group nsur-
ance in the local not later than the
first of December. O. G. III.

L. u. Celebrates
45th Anniversary
Jigqermen's Local To Have
Birthday Near End Of
Present Month

Local Union No. IL met last Tues
day evening with President Luther
Hall in the chair.
The main topic of discussion was
the approaching 45th anniversary of
Local II. Very few locals in the
Brotherhood can boast of As years of
continuous service and the members
of No II are justly proud of the part
they have played throughout the his
tory of the Brotherhood We are espe-
cialiy anxious to have any charter
members who are able to attend this
affair as our guests.
Local II was mustered into the
Brotherhood November 25, 1896. At
the present time there are but five
local unions older in the service of the
N. b. of o. p.
The entertainment committee for
the affair is comprised of Guy Dig
man, Larry Finlay, Kenneth Parrish,
Willis Johnson, Alvin Clutter, Ernest
Terrence. This committee has been
given full authority and we know
they will come out with something
fitting for the occasion. More infor-
nation will be published next week.
Meantime cooler weather has ar
rived and is reflected by a swell in
attendance. Don't forget the roll call
for convention has started.
Election is over by now and some
are pleased, other disgruntled. We
hope all will go along with the newly
elected officials as they are the choice
Of the majority. o. c. l2.

on September II or IL, Mr.. Currier
held meeting of his truck drivers
and advised them to join the CIO and
offered to pay their initiation fees.
early in the Spring of 1885, Mr..
Currier set up dummy organization,
the Funke Builders Supply Company,
to sell sand and gravel to the Currier
Company. The address of the COM
pany was 1851 Schaefer Highway, the
same as the Currier Lumber Com
pany. The Funke Company engaged
in questionable business practices to
the detriment not only Of the gravel
truckers, but to the owners of the pits
as we'll. The Funke Builders Supply
Company had agreed with it's truckers
on a weekly salary Of $500 to be
paid on the 10th of each month. In
June, 1889, approximately 20 truckers
joined Local 247. When the next pay
day came, as had happened on several
previous occasions, both Mr.. Currier
and Mr. Funke were missing. When
Mr.. Robert Mitchell, president of
Local 247, finally reached Mr.. Currier
to protest the non-payment of the
drivers, he was assured the matter
would be investigated.
"When full restitution was not
Forthcoming, William w. Roe, secre-
tary-treasurer of the union, served
notice, in accordance with Michigan
law, on the Funke Builders Supply
Company, the Currier Company and
the State Labor Board, of the unions
intention to strike these concerns.
Upon receipt of this notice, Mr.. Funke
disappeared from Detroit, and when
Mr.. Currier was reached, he claimed
that only $1,000 was owed by him to
Mr.. Funke. This amount was far less
than the total wage bill due the truck
ers. However, the men divided the
81 900, and since the Funke Company
was dissolved, were left without jobs
and with no means of securing the
rest of their back wages.
"To the best of our knowledge, Mr..
Currier made no effort to locate Mr..
Funke and disclaimed any further re-
sponsibility other than the $1,000
which he said represented his debt to
Mr.. Funke.
During 1885, when the truckers
union was carrying on an organizing
campaign in various gravel pits in the
Detroit area, the Currier Company
employed individual truck owners who
bought gravel at the pits, transported
it to the plant and then sold it to the
company. The price of the load was
determined by Mr. Currier The price
set by Mr.. Currier was much lower
than that paid truckers working for

times of prosperity prepare for de-
preston by securing wage for the
worker high enough over the necessi-
ties of life to enable him to meet such
depressions when they come?

countries where worker is consid

should be considered as a partner in

share of the profits and not merely a
living wage. A little more democratic
cctlon and not so much talk would go
a long way toward solving the most
of our problems.
