Chamber Leads In
Fight To Abolish
FortY-Hour Week
Representative Of Nations
Big Business Seeking To
Stir Up "Grdss Roots"

Washington, b. G. ULNS). - The
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, from it's luxurious marble build
ing in Washington, is seeking to stir
up grass roots" sentiment against
the 4O-hour week law, Senator Ebert
ID. Thomas of Utah, charged in a
Senate speech.
Thomas, who is chairman of the
Senate Labor Committee, declared
that the chamber, representative of the
nations big business interests, is urg-
ing it's members to write demands
for action in Congress-
II want to show where the grass
roots opinion of this country comes

marble hall in Washington. You had
better prepare for the avalanche of
letters you will get appealing for
action.
"Probably in the history of the
United States no such cOnfusiOn-en-
dangerous document was ever sent out. "
Voluntary Action Working
The Senator emphasized that vOlun-
tary agreements between management
and labor are solving the war produc-
ton problem, but added that there
are elements who want to see coercion
who want to have law"
AS Thomas spoke, John p. Frey,
president of the American Federation
of Labor Metal Trades Department,
told the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee that the 4O-hour pact was speed
ing ship production in Pacific Coast
yards. He testified in opposition to the
Smith bill to abolish overtime rates on
hours worked over 40 week and
limit profits to per cent on war
work.
Frey said that AFL shipyard work
ers on the Pacific Coast in January
voluntarily surrendered some of the
extra wage rates to make practicable
operation of the shipyards "a hours u

The new agreement, the witness said
calls for time-and-a-half for Il sixth
day of consecutive work, no matter
on which day this falls, and for double
time for any seventh consecutive day

reduction in pay but the workers
agreed to it to speed production, he
said.

a number of problems to iron out.

1t seems to this o. G. that organized
labor, as a whole. is maintaining "a
high standard of patriotism through
out, but let some small plant employing
a few hundred men have a strike and
organized labor takes Il severe dress
ing down from the radio and news
papers throughout the land. Often the
strikers are not even members of or
ganized labor.
Our fighting forces are at the front
lines fighting for our liberty and free
dom and organized labor has a major
battle to fight too. Are we going to
have these same fighting forces return
from victory to find that we workers
have allowed few politicians and
manufacturers to destroy all of the
important gains made by labor in the
last decade?
1t Is familiar to all how the dries
were successful in putting prohibition
across while our fighting forces We're
away in the first World War and how
the returning soldiers, sailors and ma
rines of Uncle Sam felt about, what
they termed dirty trick, being play
ed on them during their absence. II
would be far, far worse for us to
allow our politicians to squelch the
forty hour week and force these same
fighting men to return TO working con-
ditiOnS which they fought TO abolish.
In spite of what the newspapers say,
the forty hour week is not interfering

we found it necessary to suspend five

Willis Hoven and Charles Names. 1t
seems funny that some of these broth
ers are willing to pay $1,000 twice a
year for reinstatement. vet will not
keep their dues paid up which are only

The Trustees have applied for our

10 purchase another one soon, so how
about every member Of 132 keeping
their dues paid up so we can purchase
more bonds and help axe the Axis
About thirty-five of our members
| will pay fine of 25 cents each for not
attending our meetings in March. Some
of these brothers we know could not
be present, but will gladly pay as the
money will be used for Defense Bonds.
With the recent fight being waged
against the 4O-hour week, think that
it is about time that some of these
brothers wake up and attend the meet
ings and wage Defense Fight for our
own principles. How long will 1t be
if they are successful in abolishing
the 4O-hour week. before they begin
lowering other standards which we
have fought years for. Would you like
to go back to the days of the sweat
shop. How about it brothers, do you

A resolution committee is now in
action and any member having any
constructive ideas can hand them into

Although much of the interest per-

by Attorney Julius Kass who is the

received Il paltry sum of money when
they should have received many times
the amount, and also cases where wise
workman had received as high as
$4,000. He cited too, that brother
member of ours had just received an
award of $1,OOO.OO, through his efforts
Recently in newspapers there has
been much opposition shown toward
bill Sec. 3 H. II. $3.50 now before the
U. s. Senate. This bill would admit
aliens to citizenship without the ability
to read and write, providing these
aliens were over fifty years of age and
had resided In the country since 1924.
The opinion is current that this legis-
.lation, if passed. would not only nullify
the effort now being made to eradicate
illiteracy but would encourage back
ward alien folks to wait until they be-
come 20 years of age and have their
citizenship papers handed to them,
seeking politicians. The American Lee
gion, the Perth Amboy Citizenship
Council and other organizations have
lined up against this legislation and it
is hoped that our representatives in
Washington will put thumbs down on it
when 1t comes up.
President Roosevelt recently referred
to sixth columnists as the ones used to
propagate fifth column activities, and
the writer certainly agrees with the
Herald's editorials of the last issue
that Kaltenborn, the Peslars, the
Smiths, the Rush HOlts, the Pelleys
and many others are and should be
placed in this sixth column category.
These men are, and there is no doubt
about it, doing their best to complicate
the war effort much to the delight of
our enemies, who certainly would be
pleased to see mass labor trouble in
this country at present Now that the
a. f. of l.. and the c. l. O. have made
a sincere effort to help, these antagon-
lists step in to do patriotic duty for
Hitler.

The second revised dates was an
nouneed over the weekend by Gov.

the original revision because of
the apple crop situation. The

extended the new dates.

All other counties of the state
will abide by their original sea-
sons. which opened Oct. Is.
When Gov. Langlie made public
his original order sportsmen pro-
tested because of the sudden move.
They contended he should have
acted at least two weeks sooner.
But many sportsmen put the
blame on Game Director Bernard
T. McCauley. They believed he
was behind the cancellation of the
original opening dates.
Nothing could have been
farther Incorrect. The cancel
lation hit McCauley with as
much surprise shock as II did
the hunters. II threw the de-
partment's detailed plans for
the Oct 25th opening into
pieces.
Now with the sportsmen given
4 better break and the opening set
1t a week earlier than the Nov. s
fate, sportsmen can rightly believe
that McCauley used his full influ-
snce for the latest change.
Director McCauley is one chief
game boss OF this nation who
talks the average mans language.
He Is a hunter in his own right.
