Muchinists' Association
Gusts Company Union

Washington, D. c. The Interna-
tional Association of Machinists an
nounced significant victories in cleo
tions for collective bargaining repre-
sentative among the employees of two
New England companies with long
anti-union records.
At Stamford, Conn, the Machinists
ousted company union" in the me-
chanical department of the Yale &
Towne Manufacturing Company by a
majority Of nearly four to one, in a
National Labor Relations Board cleo
ton and then launched campaign to
"clean up" in the rest of the plant.
This victory follows a similar tri-
umph at the Brown & Sharpe Manu-
featuring Company, Providence, r. l.,
the nations largest maker Of precision
tools. The Machinists won so per cent
of $500 votes cast in a Labor Board
poll, and this brought the corporation
under the union banner for the first
time in its 100 years Of existence.
Both Yale & Towne and Brown &
Sharpe have for years bitterly fought
unionism, and their terroristic meth
DDS were exposed in detail by the La
Toilette Civil Liberties Committee.

Chicago, Ill.-President Roy Horn
and Secretary-Treasurer William f.
Kramer of the International Brother
hood of Blacksmiths laid down rigid
"no-strike' policy for the entire men,
bership in letter sent to all locals.

Age Limits Reported Being
Relaxed In Metal Trades

Chicago (LNS)-Jobs filed by the
Illinois State Employment Service in
November were 80 per cent over the
number filed in November, 1910, with
older workers getting an increasing
share of the jobs in metal plants,
State Director Of Labor Francis Z.
Murphy announced here.
However, the figure represented a
decline OF about eight per cent from
the number of jobs filed in October,
1911.
\ total Of 2C,8O8 jobs were filled in
November, comparing with 1874
filled in November, 1910, and 22,527
in October, 1871.
Jobs in defense industries are still
increasing, and there is a steady de-
mand for skilled workers in the metal
trades" said Director Murphy cage
limits and other requirements are be-
ing relaxed by employers. On the
other hand, employers are becoming
increasingly insistent on American
citizenship as qualification for en-
plOyment."
the National Arbitration Tribunal,
one section Of which Order refers to
lock-outs and strikes. 1t reads thus:
"An employer shall not declare or
take part in a lockout and a worker
shall not take part in strike in con-
nection with any trade dispute unless
the dispute has been reported to the
Minister =. and 21 days have elapsed
since the date Of the report and the
dispute has mot during that time been
referred by the Minister for settle
ment :" Quite number of people
forget this provision in the relevant
Order relating to Conditions of En-
ployment and National Arbitration It
ought not to be forgotten because the.
of the Unions and the op-
erations of the National Arbitration
Tribunal have together saved the
country from the loss of millions Of
man hours in industry.

Wdge-HourC Change
Is Seen For Those
FerrYing Airpldnes

Cleveland.-An amendment to regu-
extending the overtime exemption Of
transportation employees is being con-
sidered by the Wage and Hour Divi
sion, Z. S. Department Of Labor, ac
cording to Grace G. Glascott, regional
director. Principal effect Of the amend
ment would be to avoid application Of
the 40-hour week to highly paid crews
ferrying military planes in the United
States and other countries.
The amendment would add another
classification Of administrative" en-
ployes, all of whom must be paid on a
salary or fee basis at a rate Of not
less than $500 a month. A subsection
would be added to Section 54l.2 Of the
regulations. This subsection would
read: "Any such employe who is en-
gagged in transporting goods or pas
sengers for hire and who performs,
under only general supervision, re-
sponsible outside work of specialized
or technical nature requiring special
training, experience, or knowledge,
and whose duties require the exercise
of discretion and Independent judg-
ment.'
Formal notice of the amendment,
published in the Federal Register of
Jan. 6, reads: "The Administrator viii
afford interested parties an opportuni-
ty to present their views either in
support of or in opposition to the pro-
posed amendment for a period Of ten
days; unless cause is shown why such
amendment should not be promul-
gated, the Administrator will then
make it effective"
The War Department requested the
Wage and Hour Division to amend its
regulations to avoid overtime for en-
ployes Of Pan-American Airways, Inc.
affiliates who are ferrying planes. The
amendment is limited to employees OF
common and contract carriers doing
"outside work.; that is, engaged in
transporting. Under the statute, all
employees of railroads and all en-
ployes of common and contract car
riers by truck and bus who are en-
gagged in driving vehicles are exempt
from the 40-hour week.

This comparatively small organiza-
ton, which has sent some of its men,
bers to the nations armed services
and has purchased $4,000 worth of de-
Tense bonds from it's meager treas
ury, has now sent to President
Roosevelt a check for $1,000, the
money to be used by the Government

Owe hope in our small way to in
spire others to an all-out effort and
thus insure the democracy of the

Winget, president Of the AFL union.
The check was presented to Mr..
Roosevelt by President William Green,
who expressed his pride in the unions
action. The President, Mr.. Green said,
"was deeply moved" bT the contribu-
ton and promised to write himself to
the union, thanking its members.

Mead Urges Looms
For Small Pldnts
Could Open Every SIN all
Plant In The United
States

Washington, D. c. 0NS).-Declar-
ing vigorous action must be taken to
give small business it's fair share
of war production, Senator James NJ.
Mead Of New York strongly urged ex-
pansion of Federal loans and grants to
small industrial plants.
Senator Mead, author Of several bills
to give financial help to smaller en-
terprises, suggested that the Division
Of Contract Distribution of the Office
Of Production Management be given
expanded power TO extend financial
assistance to small companies.
More Power To Odlum Urged
Floyd B. Odlum, contract division
head, he said, has cone of the biggest
and certainly the most difficult job Of
organization yet to be undertaken in
connection with the war program"
At least $4,000 more small plants
can be brought into the ornaments
program, Mead said, if sufficient pow
er and authority were granted Odlum.
"There are, of course, many cate
gories Of dead and dying small indus
tries" the Senator continued. "Not
all Of them, but still a large number
Of them, are casualties of the defense
program It is those casualties which
should concern our government at this
time.
Plants Meriting Aid
Concerns which merit aid might
roughly be broken down as follows:
a. Plants that are dead or dying
because Of the application of priori-
ties. Thousands are now closed or will
shortly close.
"2. Plants that are going concerns
now - but because Of war demands
face curtailment and must move
quickly to war production. These
plants have the machinery necessary
for conversion but lack money to
effect the conversion.
"3. Plants that could get war con-
tracts, but need some new machinery
and have no money fer that purpose.
~. Plants that have machinery and
could bid for contracts, but need
money in order to arrange production
/ to meet delivery dates on war con-
tracts"
Mead declared he believed that with
sufficient power and authority, the Di-
vision of Contract Distribution could
open every closed plant in the United
/ States

Information On
Social Security

Cleveland-The 1876 local employ
ment offices in Kentucky, Michigan
and Ohio opened as units of the ma
tionally operated United States En-
ployment Service, it was said by Rob-
ert c. Goodwin, regional director of
the Social Security Board. The
change is the result of Presidential
Order which centralizes control Of the
public employment services in the
Board, through its regional offices.
In Region V, which includes these
three states, the administration of the
employment offices will be under the
direction of Edward l.. keenan,, re-
gional representative of the United
States Employment service. Comment
ing on the change Keenan, said:
'This action has been taken to place
at the disposal of the nation it's en-
tire labor supply, with the greatest
possible speed. We no longer can OBJ
serve area Of state lines, in providing
the help needed to operate our war
machine at full speed. The change also
is in the interest of economy and ef-
ficiency. The Presidents order con-
templates that the uses shall perform,
in addition to placement functions,
certain operations which will Of serv-
ice to the states in connection with
the administration of their unemploy-
ment compensation laws"
State directors of the United States
Employment Service in Region V ap-
pointed effective today are: w. H.
Fraysure, Kentucky; Wade Ham
mond, Ohio; and George w. Cross,
Michigan. These men, each of whom
has been employment service director
in his state for two years or longer.
are being inducted into the federal
service together with their present
state staffs. In Region V approx
mately 2,575 former state employees
thus become federal workers. The
total inducted into the federal service
is about 1,150 in Ohio, LAO in Mich
igan and 240 in Kentucky. This is
approximately SIS per cent Of the total
personnel of the three state job in
surance agencies.
"Possible legal difficulties under
the state constitutions and statutes
have been studied by our attorneys.
They have advised the United States
Employment Service can safely per-
form the purely mechanical functions
Of accepting workers. claims for ben
efits under the state unemployment
compensation laws.
"All claims forms will be forward
ed to the state unemployment COM
pensation agencies for determination
in accordance with the terms of each
states law. Similar procedure has
been followed for several years by all
S t a tie unemployment compensation
agencies in connection with the pay
ment of benefits to interstate work
ers, and with no adverse legal effect.
"The United States Employment
Service also stands ready to perform

this manner duplication of personnel
will be avoided, with substantial
saving in the cost Of administration
which is borne by the Federal gov
ernment," keenan, said.

Jap Troops Sforming
Java Position Flee
When Fired On
Little Enemy Air Action
Supporting Landing
Operations Reported
BY ]. b. BOUWER,


NEAR THE MIDDLE JAVA
FRONT (Aneta to Associated Press
March al visited a point very
close to where fighting was in prog
ress today, but I cannot disclose the
name Of the fiercely contested posi-
ton.
Native soldiers said the Japanese
stormed the position last night in
two British army trucks and two
private cars. They raced up at
furious speed, their Tommy-guns
splitting fire left and right.
When their fire was answered by
the defenders the Japanese appar-
antly thought they were being am
buShed, and fed into the surround
ing plantations. Many of the at
tackers were mopped up, but small
groups were able to concentrate
and finally forced the Netherlands
Indies troops to retreat to the posi-
tions nearby where a stand was be-
ing made this morning.
Tanks Get Some Results.
Dutch troops were hurled into ac-
ton and Dutch tanks were reported
to have obtained some results in q
counterattack.
1t is highly significant that there
has been little enemy air activity in
support Of the landing operations.
As I moved up toward the fighting
area I saw Dutch bombers and
fighters flying toward the coast and
returning to reload and refuel.
Along the road crowded with mil
itary traff1c saw Dutch Army trucks
moving toward the front with fight
ing slogans painted on their sides.
Give them hell" was a common
slogan OF many of the signs.
I passed through many native
villages where life apparently was
proceeding normally, although they
were less than 40 miles from the
front.
At one place. two doubles tennis
matches were in progress. Two Eu-
ropean women strolled quietly along
one village street, pushing baby
carriages.
Halted Frequently.
Frequently we were halted at care
fully-hidden posts A Dutch or native
soldier would rush into the road
pointing q gun or brandishing a
klewang-native sword-and order
us to halt for Inspection.
1 have seen plenty of evidence
that Netherlands Indies troops are
not tightly merely a defensive battle,
but are striking back hard at the
Japanese invaders at every point.
The Japanese are getting a hot re-
ception in the invasion of Java
probably the hottest they have got
ten yet in this war.
I have seen Dutch soldiers full of
flghting spirit and confidence. I
have spoken to men returning from
the front line. and it Is clear from
their stories that strong resistance
is being offered.
