Unionism For The
Federal Employes
Government Workers' Prob
lems Similar To Those of
Other Workers
300,000 EMPLOYES
Washington, D. C.—Efforts on the
part of certain propagandists to drive
a wedge between government employes
and other working men and women
are unavailing, according to informa
tion that has reached the American
Federation of Labor Government Em
ployes Council, composed of repre
sentatives of A. F. of L. unions made
up of government employes.
The propoganda has at times been
insistent and determined. Government
employes, many of whom are of the
white-collar group, have been told that
they should not associate themselves
with trade unionists. All manner of
appeals to snobbery and self-interest
were devised to keep the government
employes from unionizing, a right they
possess as citizens of the United
States, to gain privileges that only
unionism can bring them.
300,000 Belong to A. F. of L. Unions
Conversely, efforts are constantly
being made by propagandists to con
vince the working men and women of
this country generally that govern
ment employes are overpaid and un
derworked, and that they should op
pose the efforts of government work
ers to improve their wages and work
ing conditions.
Both schemes have failed. There
are now nearly 300,000 government
employes, about 40 per cent of all who
work for Uncle Sam, who carry cards
in A. F. of L. unions, and the num
ber is constantly growing. Moreover,
while the propaganda adverse to gov
ernment workers once carried some
weight, the employes of private in
dustry now recognize it for what it
is—an effort to batter down standards
in the government service, in order
that
the way may be paved for wage
Cttts
and lay-offs in private industry.
"Overpaid" Bugaboo Shattered
The American Federation of Labor
Government Employes' Council has
been much gratified by the increasing
community of interest between gov
ernment workers and others, partic
ularly those in the labor movement.
As an example of the falsity of the
claims of the propagandists that gov
ernment employes are overpaid and
underworked, it points to the fact that
government employe unions include
the National Association of Letter
Carriers, the Railway Mail Associa
tion, the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks, and District No. 14, In
ternational Association of Machinists,
all of which groups, as their names
imply, are composed of employes
Avhose duties clearly are such as to
take them out of the alleged
"over­
paid and underworked" class.
As for the American Federation of
Government Employes, which includes
many types of government workers, a
large part of its membership is made
up of hospital attendants, prison
guards, Lighthouse Service employes
custodial employes in government
buildings, and others who, as any
fair-minded observer would admit, are
more generally underpaid than over
paid.
The recent primaries have afforded
several illustrations of the unity of
government employes and other trade
unionists. Not only have many anti
labor candidates been "elected to stay
home," but one notorious propagan
dist against government employes was
retired, for the time being, at least,
from public life, in a section where
there are very few government work
ere, a circumstance indicating that in
dustrial workers knew definitely what
to do in his case.
LEFT AT THE POST
When it comes to achieving "self
earned social security," the American
people leave the rest of the world at
the post.
The
figures show, for example, that
there is about three times as much life
insurance in force in this country as in
the United Kingdom about thirty
times as much as in Japan, and about
sixty times as much as 7n Sweden.
These figures are important, not
.only because they show what ou
Citizens have done to guard against
the exigencies of the future, but be
cause of the influence of life insuranc
on the nation as a whole. Life in
SUrance is a great stabilizing fore
qnd a force that makes for progress
and prosperity in the long run.

$500,00 BY REA
FOR OHIO PLANT
Franklin P. Wood, of the REA en
gineering staff, left Washington today
to make a final survey of engineering
details of rural cooperative generating
plants projected in Michigan, Minne
sota, North Dakota and Ohio, for
which REA has set aside construction
funds or has received loan applications.
Two of these proposed power
plants would be located in Michigan,
near Visterberg and on Beaver Island,
one in the Twin City area of Minne
sota, and at least one and possibly
two elsewhere in Minnesota. Another
would be in North Dakota, probably
near Grace, and still another in Ohio,
to serve several REA-financed dis
tribution projects in that State which
have been unable to purchase elec
tricity at wholesale at a price which
would allow the projects to pay out.
Most REA-financed rural electric
distribution system throughout the
United States have been able to buy
power at wholesale at an average cost
of less than cents a kilowatt. But
the projects to be served by these pro
jected generating plants were not suc
cessful in efforts to buy power at re
asonable rates.
Mr. Wood, who is assistant to the
coordinator of the Engineering Di
vision, expects to visit Michigan first
where he will study the best location
and type of construction for a gener
ating plant using natural gas as fuel
in the northern part of Ingham
County. Another plant, on Beaver
Island in Charlevoix County, is also
under consideration. No power is
available on the island.
While in Michigan Mr. Wood will
also inspect two REA-financed gener
ating plants about to go into operation
shortly, at Adrian and at Zeeland, and
two already producing power for
farmers, at Ubly and Eaton Rapids. In
Wisconsin he will visit an REA
financed electric generating plant
functioning successfully at Chippewa
Falls. A hydro-electric plant has been
suggested to provide additional ca
pacity for Wisconsin power distribu
tion cooperatives.
In Ohio, Mr. Wood will make a final
survey for a plant for which $500,
000 has been set aside by REA.

Toledo AFL May
Buy Headquarters
Toledo, Ohio (AFLWNS).—The pur
chase of a three-story building as per
manent headquarters of the A. F. of
L. unions in Toledo, is visioned by
number of labor officials here. For
some time the Central Labor Union
and and Building Trades Council oc
cupied the second story of the build
ing at 1*12 Adams street. Recently the
Building Trades leased the third floor
giving the Central Labor Union muc
needed additional space. It is believe
that the continued growth of the A
F. of L. unions warrants the acquisi
tion of the entire building.

Appointive Judge
Petition Results
Deficiency Expected When
Final Signature Certifi
cates Announced
(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.—Proponents of the
amendment to the Ohio constitution
providing for appointment instead of
election of the judiciary were scurry
ing about the state last week attempt
ing to garner additional signatures to
their petitions in an endeavor to make
up a large deficiency expected when
final signature certifications are an
nounced by the Secretary of State.
Unofficial reports from Cuyahoga,
Franklin and Hamilton Counties whose
Boards of Elections have not yet certi
fied signatures on petitions filed with
them to the Secretary of State, indi
cate that there will be a total deficien
cy of nearly 50,000 signatures.
Secretary of State Kennedy's office
reported last week that final certifica
tions were expected from the three
counties by Wednesday of this week,
and, if there was a deficiency, the pro
ponents would have ten days in which
to file additional signatures.
The Mahoning County Board of
Elections certified 9,173 signatures to
the Secretary of State last week, dis
qualifying 8,413 of the 17,58G sig
natures filed with them, or more than
47 per cent of the total in that county.
This loss reduces the surplus sig
natures remaining to the credit of the
proponents of the amendment to ap
proximately 20,C00, which will un
doubtedly be wiped out by a large mar
gin when Cuyahoga, Hamilton and
Franklin counties report.
Those three counties accounted for
a total of 173,430 signatures in the
original number filed, and with losses
ranging at high averages in counties
which have reported, an additional loss
of at least 70,000 signatures can be
expected in the Cuyahoga, Hamilton
and Franklin counties' report.
Should the proponents be successful
in their efforts to make up the impend
ing deficit with additional signatures,
the validity of which must also be
checked, the Secretary of State is re
quired by law to issue pamphlets to the
electorate explaining the proposed
amendment in detail 40 days before the
November 8 election, another feat
which appears an impossibility.
THE HEART OF THE RAILROAD
PROBLEM
The Rutland, Vermont, Herald goes
straight to the heart of the railroad
problem when it says: "If the govern
ment would simplify its contacts with
the railroads, relax the rigors and
constriction of regulation, equalize or
reduce taxation, permit reasonable
rates for first-class service, and, so
far as possible, bring all transporta
tion under the same rules and stand
ards, it would have done all that any
public agency could do toward amend
inga very difficult situation."
The railroads ask no favors, no
special privileges. They simply ask
that they be treated exactly as are
other agencies of transportation—and
that they be permitted to operate on
a sound business basis.
So far this year railroad income has
been about eighty per cent under 1937
The rate of return, figured on an an
nual basis, has been approximately
one-half of one per cent of the iiulus
try's gigantic investment. In other
words, the railroads as a whole are
earning next to nothing. Some lines
are not even making enough to pay
their taxes, much less their bond in
terest. And a great many are ex
periencing serious operating losses
which, unless checked, must soon re
suit in additional receiverships.
There is the usual camouflage talk
about scalding down the industry'
apital structure, consolidating lines
and similar palliatives. But facts show
the fallacy of such proposals in the
present crisis. First and foremost
the industry must be given an ade
quate rate structure. Second, it must
be permitted to further reduce oper
ating costs where possible. Third, it
must be given equality of legislativ
treatment with its competitors. Then
and only then, can a real start be made
toward solving the problem—and to
ward saving an industry which is re
sponsible, directly or indirectly, for
millions of jobs, for billions in purchas
ing power, for hundreds of millions of
taxes, and for the existence of scores
of other industries which supply
with services and materials.
FHA Insured 108,738
Home Loans In 1937
Washington, D. C.—The large field
entered by the Federal Housing Ad
ministration in residential mortgages
not regarded as proper investments by
private lending firms is indicated in
the report that during 1937 the Ad
ministration accepted 108,738 mortg
ages for insurance representing an ag
gregate sum of $447,519,716 for the
year. The lack of mortgage funds for
home building and buying in communi
ties remote from money centers is re
vealed in the Administration's state
ment that 16 per cent of all single
family mortgages insured during the
year were in communities with popu
lations of less than 2,500, while 58 per
cent were in cities of less than 100
000 population.
THE POTTERS HERALD
"JIGGERS"
Fashion Note: From a preview on
the Boardwalk, one would believe the
girls have gone into a huddle and se
lected a uniform for the coming fall
eason. It consists of a fez-like hat
orn well back and to the side of the
head a black suit or dress with a
faint stripe and very short, light
tockings and black shoes. Relief is
furnished by the scads of junk jewelry
and popular silver fox neck piece.
Firemen Newell and Jordan conr
pared notes on interesting blazes in
their respective districts the other
afternoon. It all came about when the
rain gave Chief Newell an opportunity
to put on his great white coat with
the strong buckles, which, however,
Jordan contends is now 'old hat.'
The best we have seen so far: Dur
ing the rain a young miss with a rain
oat and umbrella tripped down to the
beach. Off with the coat and into the
surf she dove. Two minutes in the
waves and out she came to don her
aincoat, put up her umbrella and trot
back to her hotel. Perhaps she thought
it just as funny that we should stand
ankle deep in beach wearing our Sun
day suit just to listen to this* Vild
waves.
Many conferees were thinking of the
scheduled double header in Philly
Sunday and were quite dismayed with
the news of a Sunday session, but the
rain started Saturday afternoon, and is
still going strong, thank you.
Coming into a Fortune doesn't al
ways mean lining your pockets with
gilt. There is a game on the Board
walk by that name and although the
potters have been trying pretty hard
they can't seem to do much more than
break even in the majority of in
stances. You can't pile up World
Series money that way.
Speaking of the World Series, and
who isn't these days. .it would seem
here that the powers-that-be play di
rectly into the hands of the scalpers
You can't purchase less than a block
of three tickets and at $5.50 per ducat,
there aren't many workers able to see
three games.
Joe Scott has a beautiful picture of
himself tacked in his room with the
caption "Boardwalk Sport." He leaned
over the rail and one of the artists
rayoned his features very well in
deed. She also did nice work on the
aption.
The kilnmen took two out of three
on the bowling alleys the other night
from the clay workers. Newell, Johns
ton, Wheatley and McGowan com
peted for the kilnmen and were op
posed by Dxhtj Bevan, Jones and
Silliman. The first game ended 595 to
529 and the second 602 to 569 while
the final was copped by clay workers
by two pins, 024 to 626. The president
was exactly on and missed his partner,
Vice President Turner.
Newell with 524 for the three tilts
and games of 188 and 180 was the
star of the evening. Johnson had a
181 game and Bevan 180.
Just in case anyone should ask you,
you can say that Atlantic City in Sep
tember is very definitely not the At
lantic City of* July and August. The
CLOSED sign is quite prominent to
one making the rounds and even Steel
Pier is quite dead. Dancing is moved
from the large ball room to the sum
mer opera house, acts are seen only
on Sunday and quite naturally the cir
cus and water carnival must suffer
from the weather.
By a strange coincidence, Dr
Crumbly was spied walking down the
Boardwalk shaking his head from side
to side and muttering to himself. He
had just finished a detailed story by
Paul B. Williamson, author of the
Williamson football ratings. Last year
the system was declared 90 per cent
efficient at the close of the season—
but the doctor, quite an expert in the
art of prognostication himself, is em
phatic in stating that Williamson must
have had a very bad dinner before re
tiring the other night. His ratings go
like this 1, \otre Dame: 2, Auburn
3, Stanford 1, Pittsburgh 5, Rice 6,
Dartmouth 7, Vanderbilt 8, North
•arolina 9, Alabama 10, Washington
_1, Illinois 12, Cornell 13, Duke 14,
West Virginia 15, Harvard. No men
tion of Southern California, apparent
ly headed for the heights once more,
and Louisiana, a team that will surely
be in the middle of things at the last
tfong-
Notre Dame,.rated at the top of the
heap, can't be taken seriously by the
doctor. They have Beinor at a tackle
and that will be a great help. They
also have any number of good full
backs and Stevenson for left half but
with the exception of Longhi at center
that is the extent of the material. The
rest will have to be made up of the
Irish's famous fighting spirit. Don'
be surprised to see Notre Dame com
pletely out of the first 15 warns
Crumbly. Minnesota and Ohio State
should provide plenty of fireworks this
year, but they weren't mentioned
either. The doctor mumbled some
more and strode ofjf. .but not before
he stated that there are some real
games on tap for this week end. Some
of the best of the season. He likes:
Army by a big score over Wichita
Just one of those things.
W
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
REMAINS VERY GOOD
The business outlook,
bo
far at the
domestic picture is concerned, remains
good. If only our own internal prob
lems were involved, it seems evident
that this recovery movement would
continue, at least for the next six or
eight months, and that security prices
would tend upward accordingly. How
ever, there is an extremely large fly
in the ointment—the European situa
tion. That was vividly demonstrated
in the week ending September 10. In
dustrial statistics were encouraging,
there were no unusual or unlooked-for
political complications, and the stage
was set for a sustained rise in se
curity prices. But prices sagged, and
the week as a whole was disappointing
on all counts—principally because of
the fears of war.
It seems unlikely that this fear can
be dissipated in the near future. Even
if war does not occur before the end of
this year—and, according to the ex
perts, the chances are better than even
that it will—the shadow of Mars will
still darken the economic skies. Thus,
it is to Europe, rather than to this
country, that the student must look
principally for guidance in anticipating
what will happen to industry and to
security values during the remainder
of 1938.
Forgetting the war problem for the
moment, the figures indicate that the
recession" is definitely on the wane.
No one looks for even anything re
sembling a boom such as that occurring
at the end of 1936, which ran half-way
through 1937 and exploded. The ex
pectation is for steady, non-dramatic
betterment in practically every line of
industry and commerce. Here is the
situation obtaining on a number of
basic lines now:
STEEL: Recently touched 44 per
cent of capacity—about twice the level
obtained in early July. During eight
of nine consecutive weeks for which
this column has data, improvement
was registered.
MOTORS: Lately hit its low pro
duction point of the year, which is en
tirely normal, as it will not be long un
til the new models begin streaming off
the assembly lines. By the time this is
read, production should be at a good
level, and increasing rapidly. Reports
of what the new cars will be like are
conflicting. It has been generally re
ported that there will be little chang
in most makes more recently, rumor
says that manufacturers are now
planning more ambitious experiments
and improvements.
CONSTRUCTION: Non-residential
building is still down. Residential
building, on the other hand, is well up
and is rising. In August, this kind of
construction was 18 per cent ahead of
last year. Big factor is the govern
ment-insured long-term loan plan
under which a builder may obtain as
much as 90 per cent of his house and
lot's value and take up to 25 years
to pay it off.
ELECTRIC POWER: This reliable
barometer of industrial affairs in gen
eral shows strength. The summer de
cline was not more than seasonal in
intensity. And the fall and winter
outlook is0£ood.
RAILROADS: Car loadings have
been up a little, but not enough to keep
scores of lines out of the red. The
industry is tied up in wage negotia
tions, which have been complicated by
the brotherhoods' refusal to accept fed
eral mediation of the managements
request for a general 15 per cent wage
cut. A great deal of pressure is be
ing brought from many quarters to
have Congress take up possible legis
lation to save the industry, as soon as
the next session opens.
Summing up, sentiment as a whole
is now bullish. But keep your eye on
Europe—what happens there could
change the outlook tremendously over
night.

The same can be said of the Washing
ton-Minnesota game. The Gophers are
usually slow starters but have the ad
vantage of their own field. Although
the Huskies need a good center they
look a spark better.
Auburn is starting off on a tough
campaign. They will start nicely
against Birmingham-Southern.
Baylor is going to go and South

Women's Bureau
(Continued From Page One)
able for the service industries, many
of which are important woman-employ
ers, showed an even more marked ad
vantage to men. In almost every case
for which there are figures, the pro
portion of women workers had fallen
and their level of employment was
lower than men's throughout the
period reported. Men's advantage was
especially marked in the hotel and
restaurant industry.
"On the other hand, there were in
dustries in which women seem to have
fared better than men during recent
ears. These included the clothing
and canning industries, in both of
which the proportion of women work
ers employed in the last year reported
had increased over 1930 in most of the
small number of States reporting."
Althougn in specific industries
women seemed to get a smaller share
of the available jobs in the latest year
reported as compared with 1930, on
the whole the proportion of women
among all workers increased slightly
during the period in most of the re
porting States, the report shows. This
was because the heavy industries in
which men predominate were more
seriously affected by the depression
than were the lighter industries em
ploying larger numbers of women.
The report is designed to serve as
background material for the statistics
on employment and pay rolls of men
and women industrial workers, which
are being obtained semiannually, be
binning with September 1937, by the
Women's Bureau through the cooper
ation of the Bureau of Labor Statis
tics and of employers who have mailed
in these pay-roll data. The data in
the present report cover the period
from 1928 or 1930 to 1934, 1935, or
1936, in eight States—Illinois, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio
Pennsylvania, Iihode Island, and Vir
ginia. In 1930 these States employed
about 55 per cent of all women en
gaged in manufacturing industries in
the United States.

Administrator Andrews said the
Bureau of Labor Statistics now is col

Industry Already Surveyed
The textile committee will fix a
wage of not less than 25 cents nor
more than 40 cents for workers en
gaged in manufacture and finishing
of yarns and fabrics other than wool
and hosiery. Wool, hosiery and wor
sted woven goods were omitted from
the committee's jurisdiction because
a wage determination for these branch
es did not appear to be necessary im
mediately.
Andrews said a bureau of Labor

hour and 4.6 per cent received less
