COMPANY UNION
IS ORDERED OUT

Washington, d. c. GLNS). - An
other company union has been exposed
and faces death, as the result of Ma
tional Labor Relations Board action.
Finding that the company had domi-

Peter F. Ward, NLRB trial examiner,
has announced an order directing
Sherwin- Williams Company, big paint
and varnish manufacturer, to dis
establish the Paint, Varnish and Chem

plant and the Paint and Varnish En-
ployes' Federation, Incorporated, at
the Cleveland plant.
The trial examiner found that at
both plants the two organizations were
the outgrowth of four previous COM

FACTORY HOURLY
PAY STILL RISING
Law Evaded, He Says

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). - Fac
tory pay is still going up.
Average hourly earnings of factory
wage earners amounted to 1873 cents
in September, an increase of 1.6 per
cent over the level of August, Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins reports.
"One of the major factors contribut-
ing to this gain in average hourly
earnings was the substantial increase
in employment III certain of the high
wage durable goods industries" she
said. "Wage-rate increases in Sep
tember were reported principally in
the non-durable goods industries.
Average hours worked per week in
September amounted to 400, repre-
senting slight decrease COL per cent)
from August, partly as result Of the
Labor Day holiday. Weekly earnings
advanced in the month 1.3 per cent to
a level of $32.01.

MANY MORE DEFENSE
JOBSBY MARCH, SAYS
FED. SECURITY HEAD

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - Paul
V. McNutt, Federal Security admins
TRAITOR, announces that 255,O00 addi-
tional workers are scheduled to be
hired by March l, while $1,000 are
expected to be laid off in the $500 de-
fense manufacturing plants whose la
Dor needs are regularly surveyed by
the Bureau of Employment Security.
The 255,000 hires scheduled for the
period November 1-March 1 by the
5000 plants included in the survey rep
resent a decline from previous hiring
rates. AS in the past, however, air.
craft and shipbuilding will continue to
employ large numbers of additional
workers. These two industries to-
gether expect to take on 145,000 ad-
ditional workers-almost 60 per cent
of all hires-raising their net employ
ment 80 and 81 per cent, respectively,
above September levels. An additional
18 per cent of the total number of
anticipated hires was reported by en-
ployers in the iron and steel and nom
electrical machinery industries where
more than $4,000 additional workers
will be needed in the next four months.
Other industries in which substantial
number of hires are scheduled are am
munition with about $4,000 and elec-
trical machinery with 1900.
Almost one-third of the total num-
ber of workers to be taken on will be
needed in Michigan, New York, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania, centers of the iron
and steel and non-electrical machinery
industries. Some $4,000 additional
workers are expected to be employed
before March in California, important
center of ship and plane production.
Expansion of activity in ship and air.
craft production also accounts for the
large number of anticipated hirings in
Maryland, where 1900 additional
workers will be required. Michigan,
where automobile production is the
outstanding activity, is the only state
which anticipates significantly larger
number of lay-offs than of hirings by
March 1.

Max Zartsky, International President Calls Arnold Ally
of SweatshOps- Challenges Arnold, Saying That He
"Tries Cases in Newspapers First, Courts Later

New York City (ILNS). - Sweat
shop manufacturers in the cap indus
try have found an ally in Thurman
Arnold, Assistant United States At
torney- General, Max Zaritsky, presi-
dent of the United Hatters, Cap and
Millinery Workers international l
Union, charged in an editorial in the
unions official publication, "The Hat
Worker"
The editorial characterizes the Fed
eral Grand Jury investigation of the
cap industry now being conducted in
Philadelphia by Arnold's antitrust di-
vision as a conspiracy on the part of
few anti-union manufacturers, whose
greed we have curbed, to avenge them
selves on u.s."
In strong attack on Arnold for
making accusations against the union
"by indirection, by insinuation, and by
inspired stories in the public PRESS
President Zaritsky points out that no
charges have been presented to the
union itself. He calls Arnold a mo
torious publicity hound" who "has
tried every case he has undertaken
against unions in the newspapers
first, and in the courts later"
Arnold Challenged
Calling Arnold's charges that Off
GERS of the cap union have conspired
with manufacturers to jack up the
prices on stitched Army hats venom
Gus, degrading falsehoods," the trade
union leader challenges Arnold to
prove the existence of conspiracy.
II challenge him to show" Ia
ritsky says, what steps we have
taken except with the knowledge
of the proper governmental au-
thorities. If it is conspiracy to
accede to the request of the gov
ernment to help get production
out, to get this production well
made and up to quality standards,
to establish efficient operating
methods, to obtain acceptable uni
form styles from established cap
factories equipped for the work
and at prices that will give the
capmakers living wage, Mr.. Ar
mold is welcome to his case.
"And if it is conspiracy to say
to union-hating and law-breaking
employers that they shall not i'm
pose sweatshop and starvation
wages on cap-makers while they
make profits on government work,
then we have done that and I in
vite Mr.. Arnold to charge US with
that, too."
Zaritsky charges that a newspaper
report INSPIRED by Mr.. Arnold's of
flee" that Arnold's men are investi-
eating the circumstances under which
the minimum wage for government
work in the cap industry was set at
672 cents an hour by Frances Per-

kins, Secretary of Labor, "inadver-
tently gives his whole case away"
Law Evaded, He Says
He points out that under the Walsh
Healey Act, the 671a cent minimum
per hour applies only to government
contracts for more than $4,000, and
that certain employers were accus-
toned to bidding on contracts that
were broken up, "by a curious coinci-
dence" so that no single one of them
amounted to as much as $4,000.
Employers obtaining such contracts
were then able to pay any starvation
wage their heart desired" says Ia
ritsky. But when the defense emer-
gency arose, the government agencies
placed orders for more than $4,000,
''no longer could union-hating officials
and employers evade the intent of the
law by this loophole.
'Sweatshoppers Find Ally
"Instead," he added, "they were
forced to pay their workers at least
$27 week. Enraged that they had
to part with at least part of their
booty from the government, these
greedy, heartless sweatshoppers have
now found an ally in Mr.. Arnold. The
Assistant Attorney Generals Office has
promised to investigate the 'circum-
stances under which the hat and cap
wages were established under the
Walsh -Healey Act"
Arnold lost every case against the
unions in the courts when he tackled
large and powerful unions, and "hav-
ing failed to catch the whales" he is
now engaged in Fishing expedition"

sardines," Zaritsky charges.

whereby the respondent has utilized

Supreme Court Kills 'Anti-Okie'
Act Of California; Ruling Affects
Similar Laws in II Other States
Court Unanimous in Decision Against Law Rendering
Three Opinions Could Transform United States
into "Many Economic Concentration Camps"

The California statute-which traces
back many years-was adopted to halt
the flood of INDECENT migration into
the state.
In fighting his conviction, Edwards
pointed ou that poverty is not a
moral pestilence" and declared that
should California use an economic con-
dition "as standard of guilt and a
lash to drive away" the migrant, then
all 48 states could follow, transform
ing the United States into as many
economic concentration camps.
Unconstitutional Barrier"
Justice Byrnes held that the issue
"is whether the prohibition is within
the police power of California. We
think it is not and hold that it is an
unconstitutional barrier to interstate
commerce."
Byrnes said the court was not un-
mindful of the "social and economic
dislocation" reflected by the California
law and added that the spectacle of
large segments of our population con-
stantly on the move has given rise to
urgent demands upon the ingenuity of
government"
Noting also CALIFORNIA; claim of
the staggering problems of health,
morals and especially finance" result
ing from the migrations, the justice
said it was not for the Supreme Court
to- pass upon the wisdom, need or ap-
propriateness" of such laws.
Salvation in Union"
But, Justice Byrnes went on, no
single state can isolate itself from
difficulties to all Of them by restrain
ing the transportation of persons and
property across it's borders" Using
the words of the late Justice Cardozo,
Justice Byrnes said the Constitution
was framed upon the theory that "the
peoples of several states must sink or
swim together, and that in the long
run prosperity and salvation are in
union and not division"

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - Cali
fornia's "Anti-Okie' law, which was
fought by labor and liberal organiza-
tions, has been killed by the Supreme
Court.
The law prohibits the bringing of
nonresident indigents into California
The decisions affects similar laws in
27 other states.
The court was unanimous in decid-
ing against the law, but rendered three
separate opinions. Justice Byrnes, in
his first opinion since appointment to
the court, held the law exceeded the
police powers of California and vio-
lated the commerce clause of the Con-
stitution.
Justices Douglas, Black and Murphy
concurred on broader grounds, ruling
that the right to move from state to
state was right of national citizen
ship protected by the Fourteenth
Amendment. Justice Jackson, in a
third opinion, denied California the
right to make the indigence of an in
dividual a standard by which to bar
him.
Two Points of Attack
The case was pressed by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union after the
conviction of Fred F. Edwards of
Marysville, Calf, who brought in his
brother-in-law, Frank Duncan, from
Spur, Tex, to Marysville, where he
obtained help from the Farm Security
Administration. Edwards, now state
employe at San Jose, Calf, received
a suspended sentence of six months.
The case case up on appeal from the
Yuba County Court, which said the
law was valid exercise of the states
police power.
The appeal attacked the law both as
a violation of the commerce clause
and of the due process clause of the
Constitution. The court argued the
litigation at the last term, but then
called for reargument at this term.
