Chicago Rent Advisory Board.

increase justified, and now another ad-

Chicago tenants who helped to put him in
office, Forte, the man closest to the Mayor,
talked on.

Announcement of the rec
concentration by the nine-man
Advisory Rent Board, headed
by realtor John J. Ryan, was
accompanied by an outcry Of
protest from Chicago tenants
and demands for the custer
of Ryan.
The move in Chicago, where
landlords have thus far been most
successful in putting through in
creases, was seen as a national
trial balloon in drive to end all
controls.
THE Chicago Star learned ex-
clusively that the boards move
followed a visit by delegation
from the Chicago Real Estate
Boards subsidiary National Home
and Property Owners Foundation.
The Property Owners Founda-
ton, which has offices in the
Chicago Real Estate Board Build
ing, los w. Madison st., demanded
an immediate Is per cent rent
increase.
Mrs. Earl T. Mollahan, officer
of the National Home and Prop
erty Owners Foundation, told
Star reporter that the Rent Ad-
visory Board sis very sympathetic
to our needs" She said:
"A delegation from our or
ganization visited the Board last

taken immediately. OF course.

THE boards move came as a
total surprise to three of its own
members and to the Chicago area
rent control office. Oscar C.
Abern, regional rent adminis-
traitor, charged that the area rent
office twas not taken into the
advisory boards confidence" and
said he would have rejected the
proposal had he been advised of
it.
Open revolt on the Rent Adj
visory Board itself followed an
nouncement of the rent increase
recommendation. Edgar Schnadig,
president of the New Boston Store,
resigned from the board when he
learned of its action.
Schnadig said he was not pres

recommendation in its Oct. %

X We, The Women.
BY RUTH


Brltons, it seems, are indignant
over Margaret Sanger's advice not
to have any more babies in the
next ten years. If you don't have
enough food to feed the existing
babies, you should stop having
any more, is Mrs. Sanger's argu-
ment.
But the British reaction to such
logic ranged from tolerant amuse-
ment to high indignation. Most
Brltons feel that if they want to
continue bringing children into
the world and worrying about
feeding them. that's their bust
ness.
Their attitude reminds me of
this true story: During the last de-
preston, a maiden aunt who was
helping to support her sisters
children told the sister that she
didn't have any business having
more children. But to the maiden
aunt's great disgust, babies kept
on arriving.
The family got through the de-
preston years somehow. The
youngsters managed to get enough
to eat and stay in school. And
now the parents are happy with a
family Of which they are proud.
Logically. the maiden aunt was
right. But she was wrong as things
worked out. And it may well be
that the story will end the same for
millions Of families in the hungry
countries" who have no intention
of following Mrs. Sanger's advice.
Perhaps children being born
now will be the reward that made
the hungry years" worth their
parents enduring.

AFL Starts Test Case or Oper, Shop La1U

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (FP)- T. R. Cuthbert, editor of the Chatta- nooga Labor World, and two AFL officials were arrested here last week oh charges of violating Tennessee's anti-closed shop law, first step in test ing the conStitutionality of the new legislation.
 Arrested with Cuthbert were Pres. Paul Harte and Sec Claude w. Ship ley of Local 165, Intl. Printing Press men & Assistants Union, with whom the editor had signed closed shop contract the morning of their arrest. In the afternoon two men applied for jobs on the Labor World as press helpers and were turned down by Cuthbert because they were not mem bers of the union and refused to join One of the applicants, William Haley, then brought the action. The three men were bound over to the grand jury.
 Cuthbert said the suit was arrang- ed. by the AFL in the hope of getting a US. supreme court ruling on the open shop law. Employers in the state, he told Federated Press, would rather not have legal test, preferring to hold the law as treat over the heads of organized labor. "They know the laws unconstitutional" he said. The Labor World also has closed shop con- tracts with the typographical and mailers unions.

R. K. Unionists Refuse To Cut Their Own Neck
Lobbyists Asked Workers To Sign Petitions Against
 Insurance Act

WASHINGTON OPA)-Railroad BrOtherhoods last week took the mask off an undercover campaign by railroad homogeneous to high pressure workers into signing peti- tions for repeal of the so-called ''CrOsser amendment" to the Rail- road Retirement Act and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.
 These amendments, authored by Rep. Robert Crosser O., Ohio), were put through Congress last year. They greatly iberalize the benefits paid under the two separate social security laws for the nations railroad em- ployes. The amendments were en- acted despite a powerful railroad lobby" campaign against them.
 FOUGHT IMPROVEMENTS
 Rail arrangements fought the i'm provements because they didn't want to bear their share of the added cost, which is financed by equal payroll de ductions on the part of the carriers and employees.
 PSo0SCs PCutAOAlS dSAA1AS for repeal of the amendments and letters along the same line flowed into the offices of congressman. Unions all along charged that these were inspired by managements- and last week they got their hands on some sensational evidence prov ing their charge.
 This was a copy of an order trans mitted by a high official of the Atlan- tic Coast Line to his lieutenants and then to all foremen. In it, the fore men were directed to line up the en- ployes under them to "join the em- ployes of other railroads in a move ment to ask that the so-called Crosser act be repealed"

 Is Established By Telegraphers

NEW YORK (LPA)-A nation wide strike of 50,000 employees of Western Union anytime after May 3 became definite possibility last week when the Commercial Photographers Union, AFL, filed a 30-day strike notice with the Labor Dept.
 Jesse A. Payne, president of the CO., ordinating board of Western Union employees, AFL, whose members re- present all WU workers outside of metropolitan New York, announced "a complete collapse of collective bar gaining" in negotiations which have been going on with the company for two weeks.
 Charging WU with refusal to "bar- gain in good faith" Payne also assert ed that the company lis attempting to deny in contract all rights vested in this union by the Natl Labor Rela- tions Act and is attempting to cancel out existing working conditions and rates of pay amounting to many mil lions of dollars annually"
 The AFL union chief maintained that "This impending strike is gravely augmented by numerous violations of the existing contract. many of which are lockouts in violation of con- tract, all of which have resulted in complete breakdown of the grievance machinery of the contract and an over crowded arbitration calendar" Whole sale 1ayoffs, down-grading and wage cuts have aggravated the situation, he said.
 Union demands include 25c hourly wage hike, 40-hour week and a health and welfare program.

The order contained suggested petition forms for the employees to fill out. 'sHave your men signature them and send them back to this office" read the order signed by T. N. King, acting rOadmaster.
 LABOR, Washington newspaper of the Railroad Brotherhoods, described this as a 'reprehensible example" of the work of the railroad lobby and said it "shockingly illustrates the lengths to which leaders of this lobby are willing to go This time the Lobby has been caught red-handed."
