That has not been the procedure in
former years and it should not he the
procedure in this case. The members
of Local Union 13O have done wrong
in calling an illegal walkout, and the
brotherhood has urged the men to re-
turn to their jobs which they voted to
do last Friday evening.
Determined to crush outlaw strikes,
Laughlin China Co. wishes that the
guilty parties in this case be penalzed,

to the same penalties.

| Senator Bone is still immersed in
his campaign of eXcorating manufac-
! turers like the Anaconda Wire x Cable
Co. who have been found guilty of
sending defective war materials to the
soldiers on the battle fronts. But he is
also concerned with the necessity of
stemming the monopOlistic controls in
our economy and giving small business
a chance to compete on even terms.
| "When Congress cOnyeneS in Septem-
ber, a group of us are going to battle
in dead earnest to promote independent
iron and steel plants so as to eliminate
the vicious Pittsburgh plus system
said Senator Bone.
Aim To Break Monopoly
I'VE are determined, for instance, tC
have plant in the state of Washing
ton which will supply iron and steel to
the Pacific Coast at Il price which will
permit competition with the East.
I'VE see no economic or moral justi-
fication in system which forces the
government of the United States as
well as private interests to pay the
cost of shipping steel from Pittsburgh
to Seattle for building ships, tanks ano
airplanes when Washington can pro
duce its own steel and save the cost
of freight
I'VE intend to break the control over
steel production now in the hands OF
few interests. We have our eyes upol
other equally pernicious practices. But
i'm order to act constructively and eff
fectively we must have the support OF
the people.
Unions Face Big job
"Indifference on the part of workers
is the greatest handicap TO those who
want to do a job for labor and for the

Zaritsky said:
"The menace of the sweatshOp was
eliminated from our trade in 1888, two
years before the present world con-
fiict began, when, under the Walsh
Healy Act, minimum rate of 67R
cents an hour was established"

than the union scale.
