Plug Pro-Lubor Legionnoire

Chicago (FP).-Tired OF the brass
hats who dictate American Legion
anti-labor policies, the Chicago Union
Labor Post started the ball rolling TO
elect as national commander John
Stelle, former Illinois governor with Il
fair labor record.
The Georgia Department OF the
Legion has already indOrsed Steele
and the Illinois Department is eX-
pected to take similar action at it's
Forthcoming convention.
AS chairman of a special committee
of the legion, Stelle, with the support
of the AFL and CIO, successfully
piloted the CT bill of rights through
congress- He is past commander of
the Illinois Department and national
committeeman Of the legion.
Prime mover in the campaign to

Court Throws Out
Suit Agdinst WLB
Montgomery Word Loses
Round In War Agoinst
Organized Labor

Washington CPS. L. Avery lost
ma jor round In his war against labor
and the government when the U. s.
circuit court OF appeals here July 10
threw out suit brought by Mont
gOmery Ward K Co. to prevent the
National War Labor Board from carry
ing out It's directives at Ward stores
in Detroit, Denver and Jamaica, N. Y.
Upsetting the Sewel Avery Formula
of using the courts to block carrying
out WLB decisions, the court unani-
mOusly held that WLB orders are not
subject to court review, contrary to
claims of the company and a lower
court. This ruling underlined a similar
decision In the New England Motor
Freights Carriers case June 2.
Ward asked for an injunction
against obeying WLB orders to grant
maintenance Of membership, seniority
and arbitration to employees OF it's
stores In the three cities. The decision
throwing out the injunction will apply
to similar suits filed by
Ward to contest WLB orders affecting
stores in Chicago, Oakland, Calf,
Portland, Ore, and Springfield, Ill.
In line with Wards usual tactics of
delay the company is expected to ap-
peal to the Y. s. supreme court. In the
meantime the decision of the appeals
court must be followed by lower courts
the land and no lower
court can accept suit by Ward to
interfere with enforcement Of any
order issued by the WLB in the future.
Ii was Wards refusal, to comply
with WLB rulings, particularly main
tenance Of membership, that led to
government seizure of the Chicago
plant last spring.

Paden City, w. Va.-Just few lines
from the hills of West Virginia. A fine
attendance was on hand at our last
meeting to hear President Grimm
make his report of the convention pro-
ceedings Brother Grimm didn't pull
any punches when he explained the
fine work our National officials are do
bers Of the hard work to be done at
Il convention and not lot of fun as
some think. Everyone was well pleased
with his report and vote Of thanks
was extended him.
The Local was forced to take action
when several members failed to meet
their obligations to the organization.
With work plentiful, there is no need
for anyone to get behind i'm their dues.
If you are sick and unable to work,
provisions have been made for such
cases, but it Is necessary that you
notify the secretary.
Several of the brothers have return
ed from their annual fishing trip, and
as usual, we hear more about the "big
ones" that got away, than their prize
catch. AS yet this years champ" has
not been named.
The writer was amused to hear sew
eral Of the brothers discussing the
political situation on the shop recently.
1t is irritating to see labor man advO-
eating the election Of a candidate who
has never done anything for labor. We
must, however understand that man
has the right to his political beliefs.
However, no matter who Is elected we
must live together In this country after
the election and, as real Americans,
we should not get unnecessa bitter
over the electiOn.-O. c. 146.

Tobin Makes Seconding
Speech For Nomination
Of Roosevelt

Chicago (FP).-Lest the opinion 90
abroad that only the CIO was in the
burning kleig lights at the Chicago
Stadium for the roaring, whooping
Democratic National Convention, it
should be. recorded that the secOnding
speech for the nomination OF President
Roosevelt came from Delegate Daniel
]. TObin of Indiana, who Is president
OF the International Brotherhood Of
Teamsters (AFL).
Fobin also sat throughout the hear
ings held by the platform committee
and questioned both President William
Green of the AFL and CIO President
Philip Murray. He has been a Demo
cratic party leader since 1892. Sitting
with the strong Roosevelt Wallace
delegation from Georgia was George
Googe, southern representative of the
AFL.
Labor was also powerful influence
in the California delegation, with Cor
nelius J. Haggerty of the state fedora
tiOn of labor coming from Los Angeles
as delegate from the 18th district.
Secretary Phil Hannah of the Ohio
Federation of Labor was much In

Uncle Sam Scored

Accidents Among Govern
ment Employees Greater
Thdn In Industry

Uncle Sam has been lecturing the
whole nation on the need of accident
prevention, but has been neglecting his
own household
That's the nub Of a serious indict-
ment which came this week from the
Council OF Personnel Administration, a
clearing house of personnel directors
of Federal agencies, which operates
under funds budgeted by the Civil
Service Commission.
X. X. Zimmerman, executive assist
ant to the chairman of the council
assembled figures which disclosed a
shocking toll of accidents among gov
ernment employees-far greater than
In most private industries.
What makes the toll particularly
inexcusable Zimmerman said is the
fact that the government by law Inn
poses safety standards on manufac-
turing plants and other business con-
Germs, but ignores such standards in
Its own operations. In other words, ii
doesn't practice what it breaches.
Terrific Accident Toll
Zimmerman revealed that during
1913, over 157. 900 persons on the Fed
eral payroll were injured on the job
to the entire staffs of four
major departments - State, Treasury,
Justice and Interior.
Over $4,000 of these suffered injuries
serious enough to be forced to stay
away from work, and 617 paid with
their lives. Man-days lost from work
as result of the mishaps reached
nearly 100000, almost half as much
as the combined loss from strikes in
the whole country for the year. On top
Of that, said Zimmerman, the govern
ment had TO pay out nearly S10,OOO,OOO
in direct compensation costs.
Only about half the government EN-

Of Crossing Line
Defendant Produces Sworn

Cease Dismissed" was the verdict
rendered by the court of Local Union
1875 meeting in session on July 10. For
the benefit of the trade the above deci-
sion was handed down In a case in
vOlving one of our members accused
of crossing the picket line maintained
by the Retail Clerks Association at
one of our local stores. The defendant
proved beyond a fraction of doubt that
she was out of the city on the date
she was charged with the violation
and produced sworn affidavits to sub
stantiate her story.
Due to many of our members living
in the outlying districts. and the gas0-
line rationing still in effect, the local
voted to rescind action taken at n
former meeting of placing fine on
members who do not attend meetings
While the majority concurred In the
action taken by the local, many were
of the opinion that regardless of the
involved, any member who
does not think enough of their job To
attend meetings regularly. should be
penalized.
A check for $500 was forwarded
to the Raleigh Tobacco Co. to pur-
chase five hundred packages Of cigar

Clarksburg, w. Va. - Local Union
No 80 met i'm regular session on Mon
day, July 10, with very good turn
out ON hand to hear the report of our
delegate to the recent convention.
Brother AIaZzie gave a very thorough
report of the proceedings, describing
the merits of the resolutions adopted,
as well as the highlights of the con-
yention.
We were greatly interested in the
report on silicosis as decribed to the
convention by DR.. j. w. G. Harmon,
assistant medical director, Mcintyre
Research Ltd, Toronto, Ont, who dis
cussed the general problem of dust
hazards in industrial plants with par
ticular emphasis on ceramic opera
tiOns. Brother Mazzie stated the i'm
portance of dust concentra i,n and
elimination and the use of frequent
chest examination by X-ray were
stressed in his talk. He also described
the aluminium therapy treatment now
in use in various sections of the United
States for treating persons exposed
to hazards of dustS.
At the conclusion of his report,
varied and lively discussion of the sub
ject ensued, indicating the definite
interest on the part of the members In
this problem.

strikes. The general feeling is that pro-
duction should continue without inter-
ruption so the day may be hastened
when internal home problems can get
primary attention.
q. What kind of fighters do men
with labor union backgrounds make?
A. It's my observation that they
make well-disciplined, determined, ten
acious fighters-becauSe of their clear
ly defined understanding of the ad-
vantages and responsibilities Of the
democratic way of life. They fight
with deeper conviction than those ac-
cepting democracy's benefits as divine
rights, which they understand nebu-
lousy, feeling indebted to none.
q. I'm view of the admiration and
respect your name commands among
them, have you statement for union
men and women?
A. In solving problems, my adage is:
Do first things first. Our paramount
problem as Americans is TO win the
war as quickly as possible. In order
to accomplish this, it's incumbent on
all American citizens to work together
with utmost harmony, with all the
intelligence, talent and energy each
possesses.
