At present we all seem to be too

wonder where the silent and absent

Organized labor won a major round
last week in its battle To knock out
state anti-labor laws as an unconStitu-
tional infringement on the rights of
workers.
Its first taste of victory came in
Colorado. where Judge Charles {.
Sackman of Denver, in Il precedent
making ruling. held invalid the most
vicious sections of ColOradO'S labor
Shachling law, miScalled Il labor
peace act
Union officials in Washington were
particularly jubilanr over the decision,
because ColoradO'S law is the worst
among nearly dozen passed by state
legislatures during the past year-all
of which are being challenged in the
courts.
Sections Tossed Out
Judge Sackman threw out the sec
tionS which call for compulsory in

Bracket System To Ex-
pedite Awards

Los Angeles, Calif.-'rhe War Labor
Board, tenth regional district, San
Francisco, handed down a partial
award decision in our case which has
been pending for several months, baS-
ing their decision upon the following
"PurSuant to the policy directive
issued by the Director of Economic
Sterilization on May -, 1913, sup
plementing the Executive Order 932S,
the Tenth Regional War Labor
Board has set up wage rate brackets
for occupations covered by your ap-
plication. embracing all the various
rates found to be sound and tested
going rates. This policy directive
specified that:
Except in rare unusual cases in
which the critical needs of war pro-
duction require the setting of wage
at some point above the minimum of
the going wage brackets, the mini
mum of the going rates within the
brackets will be the point beyond
which adjustments may not be
made
Following q conference with our EN-
plOyer it was agreed to submit for
approval to the War Labor Board
hourly wage increases for siXtythrec
members out of a total of one hundred
and forty an average of four and nine
tenthS cents per hour.
The War Labor Boaf;i'S decision ap-
proved an hourly wage increase aver
aging three and one-fOurth cents per
hour for twenty-three members only.
We are much concerned about the
method of tested and going wage rates
used as the basis for awards and deci-
sionS by the War Labor Board. Second
Vice President Hull, informed us the
War Labor Board has created 4
bracket system as a measure of eX-
pediency in arriving ut decisions.
The West Coast office has protested
the establishment of the bracket sys-
TEN as Il means of cXpediting awards.

this was breaking the laws of the or
