Let us remember, too, thdt this achieve !
ment has been made during The very ;
years when for the first time in the history ]
Of the stdte there has been no state levy on :
property.
During the years 1912. l943 and 1914 the :
former 2-mill levy for state general purp- !
oses hos been done entirely dwdY with. ;
This tact alone hos meant q saving to !
the taxpayers Of Montana Of over two mil ;
lion dollars.
In Sam Ford the citizens OF Montqno F.:

Distinguished Churchmon Addresses
Delegates At 64fh Annual Convention

The following address delivered by
the Most Reverend Joseph Francis
Rummel, Archbishop of New Orleans,
expresses the feelings of the member
ship of the American Federation Of
Labor and their aspirations regarding
the realization of social justice:
Mr.. President, distinguished dele
gates and guests of the American

citation of this opportunity to spend

hope might be constructive and help

your future responsibilities.

fact that l regard your organization

people than that which you represent
and are sponsoring so effectively and
so industriously, so it is for a pleas
ure as well as a privilege to address
a word to you this morning.
Social Justice
This global war, in which our coun-
try has been so intensely engaged for
practically three full years, is far
from being over. Great indeed have
been our strides towards ultimate
success and victory, but it would be
foolhardy to forecast with any at
tempt at precision the final termina-
tion, whether in Europe or in the Far
East. All indications point to the fact
that in continental Europe and in the
mainland and islands beyond the
Pacific, the fighting has become more
stubborn and the resistance more de-
termined. The Nazis have evidently
resolved to hold tightly the line Of
the Pc in Italy, the Siegfried Line
and the defenses of the Rhine in
Western Germany, as well as the
lines along which the Russians are
continuing their assaults against their
their one-time companions in arms.

Little SfeeF Formula Must Be Raised
President Duffy Tells AFL Delegates

Speaking in behalf of the Execu-
tive Councils Report regarding the
Little Steel" formula and the neces-
sity of being guided by policy which
would be in keeping with the main
tenance of real wage in our country,
the following address was delivered
by President James M. Duffy at the
Gath annual AFL convention, regard
ing the present wage ceiling:
81 feel / would be recreant in my
duty to the members of my organiza-
tion if l failed to rise at this time and
enter a protest in their behalf.
81 wonder if we thoroughly under
stand some of the practices of the
War Labor Board? | would like to
tell you of an experience we recently
had with one of the Regional Boards.
In our industry we have maintained
a national wage contract covering the
industry since the year 1900 and in
that contract it has been basic that
when a new item is introduced in any
plant, it is made by the skilled trades
men at an hourly rate of pay for a
period of six weeks as an expert
mental basis for determining what
the rate shall be in order that they
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1944-12-07

can maintain their established piece
work earnings. We had development
of that kind recently, and after the
expiration of the six weeks expert
mental period, the employer and our
organization reached an agreement
as to what the piecework rate should
be in order that they might maintain
their previously established piece
work average hourly earnings. We
submitted this to the Regional Board
in Cleveland, and they in turn trans
ferred it to stabilization where the
so-called industrial engineers hold
sway, and they ruled in this fashion:
That these workers must increase their
production 20 per cent for the same
daily wage after which they would
arrive at a unit cost and put it on
another three months experimental
basis. If while working piecework,
they showed more than 20 per cent
increase in their wages, they would
impose another reduction in the
piecework rate. If that is not
stretch-out plan, l know not what a
stretch-out plan could possibly impose
upon our people who are extremely
