Labor

By r. N. ELSNER, Pres. Local SO1, UER&MWA =
Due to the resourcefuness and cooperation of the laboring people,
Day of 1913 finds our armed forces moving forward to victory
, 1943-09-02

almost wholly skilled labor and
skilled craftsmen held an import
ant place in the development Of
the new country. The work day
was from sunrise to sunset with
brief periods of rest Off breakfast
and dinner.
The prevailing wages in 1888
were from $1.1212 to SITS a day
for skilled help with a ID or a.
hour work day.
Negroes
In the southern states negro
slaves performed most of the heavy
and mental labor. With the COL
lapse Of the Confederacy in 1865,
four million negroes were thrown
upon the labor market.
Greater educational %opportuni-
ties have afforded the negro work
er the opportunity to become in
dustrial workers and many have
entered upon professional careers.
Wages y
Before the year of 1850, the
most skillful shoemaker could turn
out not more than two pairs of
shoes a day. A shoemaker who
got an order on the store in pay
ment for his wages was usually
able to exchange that order for
enough goods to keep himself and
his family alive for a week.
Transportation
Back in the 1905 means Of
transportation were chiefly by ca
nal and horseback. Railroads were
crude affairs back in 1880 and in
an actual race between a loco
motive and a horse, the horse won.

Labor Fights
Labor struggled persistently to
break down the long work day.
and in 1910 a proclamation was
issued by President Van Buren,
fixing a 1O-hour day. BY the
close of the nineteenth century
the 8-hour day had been gener-
ally accepted and the movement
was accelerated by the World
War.
Unity Is Sought
, In 1869 the Knights of Labor
were organized in the strictest
secrecy. Five Stars were used
as their symbol instead of a name.
The underlying philosophy of the
knights of Labor was working
class solidarity.
Out of the. Knights of Labor
grew the American Federation of
Labor in 1881 and as a result the
knights of Labor died out and left
behind only the educational in
fluence of it's leaders. Created at
it's insistence are the federal and
state labor agencies.
The A. F. of L. developed into
an organization involving the
skilled crafts and the mass of
workers were again left to shift
on their own.
Plight of Workers Seen
Many outstanding labor leaders
saw the plight of the unorganized
workers and decided to do some
thing about it. The outcome was
the formation of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations or as it is
widely known now, the ."CIO."
Workers Quickly Organized
Under the banner of the CLIO
millions of workers were organ
ibed in various industrial unions.
Because Of the manner of or
ganization, entire industries such
as electrical, automotive, etc., Ia
Dor could talk to the industry on a
more even basis. Labor has come
far and made many gains since
those early days and even though
we are at present at war and find
our hands tied to a certain ex-
tent by temporary laws and de-
crees, we still a be thankful our
union exists.
When the War is Won
With the help of the laboring
people the unions can do much
toward lettering working and liv-
ing conditions after the war.

Labor has progressed in many

DIRECTIVE IS
 TAKEN LIGHTLY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-(AP) Presidents directive to the nations coal miners to return to jobs struck, in workings now un- der government seizure, were generally ignored in the major producing states this moning.
 Quiet suspension of activity, begun two weeks ago in wildcat walkouts, stemming the contin- ued absence of working con- tracts. The spread was estimated at 46,000 hard and soft coal min- CTS, as conferences looking to some settlement, went forward here between Lewis and Ickes.
 Reports generally reflected the lack of any sort of demonstration in fields where the stars and stripes flew over deserted tip ples.
 The typical word from Mary land was: "The Miners just didn't show up.'

 The general agreed when in- terviewed, that the Alaska De- pertinent would be at least equal in importance with the Hawaii Department, which before the war was the nations largest mill itary establishment, and added that the departments Aleutian chain was "the shortest route to Asia and dominates the Pacific. ' He added: "A strong Alaska would be a menace against any Ienemies from the west. A weak Alaska, menace to all the Pa cific coast.'
 The new department immed- lately issued a proclamation end | ing dimout regulations which were in effect since the war start ed, and took over Alaska travel control.
