The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1941-03-13

The newspapers clamor against defense
strikes is probably hitting its highest pitch at
this time. 1t is designed to support Banker
Smiths proposal to imprison strikers.
Of course the newspapers have clamored
against strikes long before the present emer.
gency. just cast your memory back and see
il you recollect strike they ever endorsed
or even gave fair treatmentl
1t is distinctly unfortunate therefore that q
section of the labor movement 10 giving our
enemies some genuine right to protest in a
couple of current jurisdictional strikes. To be
fair we think that there is no defense for the
jurisdictional strikes which our brothers in
the AFL have been pulling on vital defense
projects
Our opinion is that these incidents should
be promptly avoided The Clio offers as it's
contribution another form of organization,
rather than restrictive legislation which will
affect ALL workers, innocent or guilty.
The AFL form of organization is out

of craft organizations vie with each other,

ship all crafts of skilled men, laborers and
those engaged in the industry. This form
of organization eliminates costly jurisdic-
tional fights of one AFL craft against
another.
The Clio form Of organization is of more
benefit to its membership. 1t does not demand
a princes ransom as an initiation fee. nor
extortonate sums as monthly dues It assures
contractors that they need deal with only one
union for their entire labor agreement instead
of practically holding convention with rep
resentatives of dozens OF unions.
Those who honestly desire to eliminate
jurisdictional strikes have a remedy to hand
in the principle of industrial unionsm. Those
who wish to protect workers against initiation
and dues extortions have the same remedy.
We offer the sensible solution Of the United
Construction Workers of the Clio to those
interested.

The session of the Maryland General As
sembly is drawing to a close and it is APP
propriate to glance over the status of the
program of labor legislation which has been
presented.
At the time of writing 1t appears that but
little chance is given for passage Of the State
Wages and Hours Law and the State Wagner
Act is not receiving very favorable attention.
These were the major measures, together with
liberalization Of the Unemployment Compen-
sation Act, which organized labor had pre-
sented.
Il is expected that some of the features Of
the Unemployment Compensation Act will be
changed bene6cally, particularly in the reduce
ton Of waiting period. increase OF benefit
period and changes in present minimums and
administrative acts So much to the good.
In the wages and hours question It
seems that the state solons are still not
ready to legislate against sweating en-
ployers who pay some girls in the city of
Cumberland the degrading wages" of
So, 81 and SIS week of work. May we
say right here how disappointed we are
at the silence of the female members Of
the Legislature on this point. They have
shown but little interest in the welfare of
members of their own sex.
The principle of collective bargaining for
workers engaged in intra-state commerce is
still not accepted by those at Annapolis. It's
to be regretted that our lawmakers are SO
shortsghted.
Early in the session Governor o'Conor
named committee of labor leaders to meet
with Commissioner of Labor and Statistics
John Pohlhaus and plan a program of legis-
lation to cover the needs Of labor.

There has been some talk and newspaper
references in the past two weeks on the alleged
act Of local retail store in regard to it's treat,
ment Of an empioye who was drafted into the
Army. The story has it that the employe
owed ST. for merchandise he had bought and
the employer paid him $l2 week
On the final day of his employment it is
alleged that the employer deducted the entire
$l2 and inserted note saying that he still
owed his boss $l.00.
We have been unable to get first hand in
formation and authentic facts for publication
and as il is our strict policy to adhere to facts
we do not intend to do anyone an injustice in
this individual case.
But we do wish to draw public notice to the
Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1910
Under its terms a draftee or volunteer is given
civil relief in the payment Of debts incurred
prior to October n. 1910.
We do not know II the local case referred to
comes under this time limitation or not II it
does it would appear that someone here has
broken the law.
II it doesn't come under the time provision
it would seem that the matter well may be
allowed to rest After all, employers all over
the country are showing as a whole that patriot
ism is subordinate 10 profits. That 10 why the
Congress passed the Act to protect draftses
from uneonscionable treatment

The so-ealled state anti-sabotage bills which
have been introduced in many state legis-
latures have aroused alarm in the organized
labor movements throughout the nation.
All sections Of labor. Clio. AFL and the
railroad unions are lifting their voices loudly
against what appears to be not genuine sabot-
age protection but unbridled efforts to ham
string the rights Of workers to organize and
bargain for higher wages and working con-
ditions.
In the Maryland General Assembly there
is no effort of any kind being made to mask
this attack on labor. The Bill is drafted so
loosely that it could be used to suppress free
speech, destroy labor unions. harass their rep
resentatives. prevent picketing and other
tivities which are entirely lawful. 1t could give
fines and prison terms for loahng on the job.
for temporarily stopping work even if sick
and unable to proceed with work.
II is believed that these provisions
which COULD be used, WOULD be used
when convenient to employers. The Mary
land General Assembly has been asked
by labor representatives to include pro-
vision protecting the legitimate rights of
workers. They have been asked to make
the Bill q real anti-sabotage bill. As il
stands now it is bill designed to sabotage
the labor movement.
But the Assembly to date has shown no
inclination to accept these changes. On the
contrary they appear to be bearing down with
increased vigor in their efforts.
The VOICE OF LABOR notices that the
Governor has uttered no word which might
reassure the labor movement in its well ground
ed fears. Those who proclaim themselves
expected to give an explanation of their lapses
while in Office.
The protest which the organized labor
movement expressed at the public hearing in
Annapolis this week may not be effective as
regards defeat or adequate labor amendment
of the Bill
But the discerning members of the State
Government will probably gather that organ
lied labor does not intend to be shackled
hand and foot to have the Bill of Rights
pended at the behest of backward looking
lawmakers.
Let the measure be properly dubbed the
Sabotage of the Labor Movement Bill.

PhiHpsburg and also that some de-
posits not worked since 1918 will
wing into production, not only IN
Philipsburg but in other mining
districts.
Tungsten is being produced ct
Jardine and antimony near Thomp-
son Falls and Dillon. Anaconda
shortly will start to produce vana-
dunn as a by product of its pho r
phate ores from Conda, Idaho. The
ore will be treated by hydrOmetal-
lurgy at the Washoe plant.
Minerals Survey
Through the efforts of the U. S.
Bureau of Mines. the United States
theological Survey, the Montana
Bureau of Mines & Geology and
the Mineral RESOURCES Survey
(W.P-A. Project 1868, of which
Trauerman is supervisor and DR..
F. A. Thomson, directing head for
the sponsor) a number of deposits
of the so-called strategic metals
have been opened and inventoried.
While these mainly are low in
grade, they can be used in the
event of dire need.
Chromium Development
From semi-official rOurces 1t is
learned that a strong Canadian
mining corporation expects to de-
velop one of the largest chrome
deposits in tbs United States. While
these chrome deposits are too high
in iron to be economically treated
by pre- ent day routine metallurgi-
cal methods, new and startling me-
thods are being developed to handle
low grade chrome ore that has a
substantial amount of iron content.
Butte is scheduled to work at
capacity in 1871. producing tens
of millions of pounds Of zinc and
copper, as well as substantial a.
mounts of lead. Other Montana
zinc-lead producers, especially in
Jefferson County and near the
Idaho border, plan to work at
capacity.
Due to increased production Of
copper, lead and zinc, silver pro-
duction should sharply advance, as
silver usually is a by product Of
the base metals in Montana.
New Gold Operation
A number of new gold placer
deposits are being examined and
made ready for working, the most
prominent one being south of Liv-
ingston, in Emigrant Gulch. A
floating dredge, costing more than
100000 will be installed there.
In the non-metallic mineral in
dustry of Montana there should be
an increased production of Port
land cement, building stones and
gypsum in 1941.
In concluding his interview,
Trauerman stated '"Of course, If
our defense program ends in 1871,
production of minerals in Montana
will be seriously curtailed, but this
ds unlikely as all indtces point to a
continuation of the defense program;
as well as general prosperity in
most of the basic industries in the
United States for a number Of
years; and prosperity is based,
more or less, on heavy mineral
production"
