A. F. of L. Executive
(Continued From Page One)
ary of 1937, William Green, upon the
invitation of Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins, appointed President
Duffy to represent the United States
at the International Labor Conference
in Geneva, Switzerland.
The honor is not misplaced. The N.
B. of O. P. has been making rapid
strides in recent years and this is un
doubtedly due in a great part to the
men elected to lead the organization.
Upon the introduction of the RFC
resolution at the seventh session of the
recent convention in Houston, Presi
dent Duffy made the following speech
in its behalf:
"Delegates to the Fifty-eighth An
nual Convention of the American Fed
eration of Labor—I think I am only
speaking the truth when 1 say that
the theme of the battle cry of the
American Federation of Labor, as ex
pressed in this convention, has been
that of biased decisions, unfair rul
ings, usurpation of power and pro
mulgation of policies by the various
departments and agencies of the Fed
eral Government that have definitely
resulted in serious interference with
legitimate trade union activities. There
is an old saying that where there is
much smoke there is bound to be fire.
Goodness knows, there has been much
in the way of condemnation offered
by this convention, by reason of this
conduct on the part of the various
agencies and the individuals heading
these various boards of our Federal
Government.
"Here is an instance where, by
reason of the practice of the Recon
struction Finance Board, they threaten
the very existence of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters. We
have been dealing collectively with our
employers for nearly 50 years, and
these employers, during all of that
time, have regularly, in season and
out of season, sat around the confer
ence table with our Conference Com
mittee, and we have always brought
forth an agreement which was the re
sult of true collective bargaining. I
can say with all sincerity that the re
sult of these wage conferences of ours
has been that our employers have dealt
fairly with our people, and 1 believe
to a degree not exceeded by the em
ployers of any other industry in the
United States of America or any place
in the world.
"I wish to mention in passing the
fact that we have been affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
since 1!)00 without a single break in
all that time. Recently a joint com
mission was sent to England to make
a study of the collective bargaining
arrangements, or the employer-em
ploye relationship in (Jreal Britain.
That commission brought back a most
glowing report, commending to the
highest degree the policy of the em
ployers in England because of the fair
ness with which the employers deal
with their employes. May 1 repeat, we
have made accomplishments in these
nearly 50 years' relationship with our
employers that not even England has
exceeded. May I say to you that the
basic intent of the NIRA was to raise
wages and to shorten hours, of coursi
with the ultimate objective of helping
labor, advancing labor's interests and
furthering the improvement of labor's
welfare.
"The N. I. R. A. came and went
it was not noted in its coming nor
in its passing in our industry, because
we have practiced honest-to-God col
lective bargaining. Having made
these accomplishments, can you im
agine our concern? Do you wonder
why we are alarmed and worried when
all of these things are going to be
taken from us because the Recon
struction Finance Corporation is lend
ing money to individuals, or rather to
new concerns coming into an industry
that is already over-developed aiyl
whose market is extremely limited?
Then too, we have the menace of for
eign competition to a degree that no
other industry has to face.
"Do you wonder that we enter a
protest and why we are asking the
American Federationof Labor to say
to this American Government of ours
that it should not be a party to tear
ing down something that they have
been striving for in these various ac
tivities since 1933, and those ob
jectives sought in the enactment of the
many laws that have been enacted by
Congress since 1933?
"Some individuals who absolutely
could not go to any bank of standing,
or to any financial institution that has
the security of its funds in mind, found
the Reconstrutionion Finance Corp.
would loan them money and only lie
cause of political influence they are
parties to lending money to new con
cerns coming in—may I say again, to
an industry that is already overde
veloped and has a very limited market.
A sad part of the whole thing is this:
One of these firms in particular of
fers its products for sale to competi
tors of our employers at 25 to 30 per
cent less, only because of the fact that
they are paying their employes 40 per
cent less in wages than our employers
pay to our members.
"I want to again say that this is a
most startling statement to make. At
least it has hit your ears with a lot
of force. It may sound almost un
believable, but, gentlemen, those are
the facts. Is it not a sad commentary
when our Government, those repre
sentatives who have been preaching by
word of mouth, in season and out of
season, since 1933 that their program
called for the advancement of the
working men and women of the nation,
to think that they would be so reckless
as to offer Government money for such
plans. We in labor circles usually do
not refer to tmch practices in any
reasonable terms. It seems to me it is
a sad day when the Government of
the United States of America will so
conduct its business that it can,
whether unwittingly or thoughtlessly,
knowingly or otherwise, become a party
to helping chiseling employers and to
destroy a set-up of the kind and type
that we have in the pottery industry
of this nation.
"I sat in the first meeting of the
Industrial Conference, after the in
validating of the NIRA, at which con
ference Major Berry presided. I en
tered my protest at that time against
any governmental intrusion or inter
ference with the regular trade union
activities. Gentlemen, I am still of the
same opinion.
"Our members are wondering what
is going to happen to their jobs. What
are they going to do to provide for
their dependents after the Federal
Government passes upon a few more
of these applications for loans in ad
dition to the one I have specifically re
ferred to that is paying its employes
40 per cent less than our wage scale,
which happens to be the Shawnee
Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio,
which firm secured its loans through
the Democratic political boss of that
county, an attorney who never has had
any interest in the pottery industry.
"I do not know whether the ap
plications have been passed upon
finally or not, but there are two pot
teries to start in the very near future
in Paris, Texas, and they are depend
ing, so I am reliably informed, if they
have not already secured it, on a $150,
000 loan to operate each of these pot
teries. I have it from a source and
have no reason for doubting that the
program calls for the employment of
a few skilled potters imported from
the north to be used as key men to
train native labor at wages even less
than the employer to whom I have re
ferred as paying forty per cent less
than the wages paid in potteries where
we have a collective bargaining ar
rangement. It is also reported from
a source I believe to be true, that there
is another plant in the making at
Wheeling, W. Va., and that there is
also one in Gordon, Ga. There are
rumors concerning other places in the
Southland where they expect to take
advantage of native labor. And you
know what that means.
"I am somewhat disappointed with
the report of the committee. I was
anticipating something more definite,
something more decisive, and some
thing more direct than the report, be
cause, brothers and sisters, to us this
is our bread and butter. It is true I
understand the RFC was conceived for
the purpose of bringing about re
sumption of employment in industry,
to give employment to American citi
zens, and I am 100 per cent in accord
with that objective. But where is the
gain in an industry, like ours? With
the industry over-developed as it is,
with our markets so limited as they
are, where is the gain, 1 ask, in using
Federal money to start potteries in lo
calities where it is the specific inten
tion to establish exceedingly low
wages, much lower wages than are
now being paid the organized pottery
workers of the country? 1 say, where
is the gain?
"Assuming that there are as many
skilled potters in employment in pot
tery making after they get through
with this program as there are at the
present time, there can be only one
result. 1 grant there will be as many
potters employed, yes, but they will
employed at a wage much lower than
the established wage for pottery
workers in this country, and it will
be driving out of employment pottery
workers who have spent their entire
lives in the industry.
"Where are they going to find em
ployment? Probably they can go on
relief, but to any intelligent, any ob
servant American citizen the de
structiveness of our relief program
must be apparent. It is not bringing
back prosperity. We do not want re
lief. We want a decent and a fair
chance to continue on with this fine
collective bargaining system that we
have practiced for nearly 50 years. I
do not think we are asking anything
from the American Federation of La
bor that we have not the right to ex
pect, and that is immediate action, be
cause immediate action is necessary
due to the fact that these applications
have already been granted or they are
to be approved in the very near fu
ture.
"I am sorry I cannot be more specific
and accurate regarding whether or not
they have been approved, but that is
because in Washington they do not
believe in keeping you informed re
garding these matters. I have writ
ten many letters, I have appealed to
our congressmen and our senators. 1
have asked for service in this con
nection with the usual experience that
if they do answer your letters, it is
in a very evasive way. The fact of the
matter is I doubt if we would have
received a reply at all from these let
ters of protest had it not been for the
fact that we have in the State of Ohio,
running for re-election a senator who
bears the title of "Dear Robert," and
he knows that he has a fight on his
hands for re-election. In that situ
ation he has gone through the motions
of trying to get us the up-to-the
minute information regarding these
matters, but it has not been what we
expected.
"May I say to you we are expecting
service in this situation, and if we do
not get it, and get it very shortly, I
am very much afraid that the per
capita tax to the American Federation
of Labor from the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters will certain
ly decrease considerably. 1 am not
saying that with any thought in mind
of wanting to be nasty and mean to
wanl the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor, be
cause, after all. the real danger here
is taking the bread and butter from
Chance For Labor

issue, there is no solution, until the
adherents of that man deprive him
of his authority or he voluntarily
steps aside. He seems not likely to
step aside, but there are signs that
the other possibility may materalize.
People do grow tired of carrying the
burden of self-aggandizement they
do grow tired of paying the price of
dictatorship." The report next referred
to the letter President Roosevelt sent
to this Houston convention asking
that the door to further peace-seeking
efforts be left open. "Before our con
vention even had time to consider the
President's appeal," the report went
on, "the door was closed from the side
of the dual movement by the auto
crat who has constituted himself dic
tator of the C. I. O.
"It is said that President Roose
velt and the C. I. 0. autocrat are close
to each other in political endeavor,"
the report continued, "and it is clear
that the President has more than once
lent his support to Mr. Lewis, but the
moment the President pleads for a
course that would threaten the auto
cracy of the C. I. 0. and end dualism,
Caesar steps forth to roar disdainful
defiance."
Appraising what had happened to
C. I. 0. unions in the last year under
their "fulminating Caesar," the report
spoke of the United Mine Worker^ as
the "sacrifice brigade of the C. I. O
forces," from where several million
dollars had been taken to bolster Mr
Lewis's ambitious. These funds, the
charge continued, have been used in
"amazing political adventures" by an
"ambitious spendthrift," yet "almost
uniformly the C. I. 0. has been re
jected by the electors at the polls,"
so that today wise candidates hope
to avoid C. I. 0. indorsement."
As for the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, headed by Sidney Hillman,
referred to in the report as the
Machiavelli of the Lewis forces, the
committee said the campaign of its
Textile Workers Organization Com
mittee in the South had turned out
to be merely "bluff and bluster" and
that internal discontent had been the
result. Mr. Lewis's automobile union
was pictured as full of distention, and
a similar story was told Of. his United
Rubber Workers.
"There is not a union in the out
law movement that has not suffered
in loss of prestige and place," the
report remarked. "And as a whole
the movement has become so tainted
and tarnished and saturated with the
virus of Communism that its kiss is
called the kiss of death, its approval
a warrant of death."
The one shining exception to "this
sorrowful category," was Mr. Du
binsky's garmtnt workers' union. It
had refused to submit tb dictation, had
fulfilled its promise" Whelp organize
the unorganized, and now, the com
mittee felt, "it will decline to join the
new movement to form a dual federa
tion of labor."
"We recommend that this conven
tion authorize the executive council
to continue to carry on the battle and
at the same time stand ready to re
spond to any genuine appeal for peace
or any honorable and sincere oppor
tunity to reunite the labor movement."
Mooney's Case Will
(Continued From Page One)
fuses a review by granting or with
holding a writ of certiorari. Chief
Justice Hughes said in that speech:
"As I have frequently stated, we
are liberal in the application of our
rules and certiorari is always granted
if four justices think it should be, not
infrequently, if three or even two jus
tices strongly urge the grant."
The Mooney case will not be drop
ped but what the next move may be
is not known. Mooney was convicted
on testimony a ldrge part of which
was proved to be perjury.
There is a quite general belief that
if Cuthbert Olson, Democratic nom
inee, is elected governor of California
he will pardon Mooney outright.

"No, we haven't, may saV, 400,

we can offer to any political party,
neither do we have a bulging treasury
enabling our offering financial assist
ance to any political party. 1 say to

fifty yeai^s an honest-to-God collective

my opinion, the sincerity of those in

nothing more substantial than lip ser

Lewis' Scheme Is
Spurned by Green
AFL President Scorns Play,
iK. -of CIO Dictator
Houston, Texas.—William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, promptly and firmly re
fused the suggestion of John L. Lewis,
chairman of the Committee for Indus
trial Organization, that they sim
ultaneously resign.
Replying to Mr. Lewis's scheme, the
A. F. of L. president said it was one
of the C. I. O. dictator's characteris
tic "grandstand plays" and an attempt
"to mislead the public with an empty
gesture."
Green's Statement
Mr. Green issued the following
statement with regard to Lewis's
bluff:
"The presidency of the American
Federation of Labor is an elective of
fice. The chairmanship of the C. I.
0. is an entirely different proposition.
The officers. of the C. I. 0. are not
elected by the workers they presume
to represent. They are self-consti
tuted, self-appointed* self-perpetuat
ing.-
"I conceive it to be my duty as
president of the American Federation
of Labor to be the spokesman for the
majority of the 5,000,000 workers who
rule the Federation. I have never
sought and I do not now seek to im
pose my personal views on the mem
bers of the Federation, nor to control
or dominate its policies. In every
statement and in every act as presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor I have sought earnestly and
honestly to present the majority view
point of the American Federation of
Labor.
"On the other hand, the chairman,
of the C. I. 0., as every one knows, is
the dictator of the C. I. O. He has
not once even consulted the member
ship of the C. I. O. during his regime.
"Now he offers to resign if I will.
"Well, the World Series is over, but
the chairman of the C. I. O. is still
making grandstand plays. His offer
is an attempted fraud and deception
of the public. To any one familiar
with the labor situation it is obvious
that even if he resigned as chairman
of the C. I. O. he would still remain
its dictator behind the scenes, because
he would remain as president and dic
tator of the United Mine Workers of
America, the union which is the finan
cial angel of the C. 1. O. and whose
funds are being wantonly wasted in
a vain effort to keep the C. I. O. alive.
"Here is a man who has ruthlessly
vetoed every fair proposal to restore
peace in organized labor, who has even
refused to sit dtwn again in confer
ence without prior commitments to
seek the kind of labor peace which
every orie in this nation wants, now
trying to mislead the public with an
empty gesture.
"The public can no longer be fooled
by the grandiose bluffs of the chair
man of the C. I. O.
"The question of my service with
the American Federation of Labor
will be placed squarely and fairly be
fore this convention for a vote. On
this issue, as on every other presented
during my record of service, I will hi
guided by the democratic decision of
the 5,000,000 workers who make up
the American Federation of Labor."

END OF THIRD SHIFT IN
COTTON MILLS POSSIBLE
Washington.—Indication of one of
the questions Industry Committee No.
1 (Textile) will consider was revealed
by Administrator Andrews in a recent
speech made in North Carolina, when
he expressed hope the committee
would recommend elimination of the
third shift in cotton mills. Although
such action by the committee would be
out side the law as it now stands, Mr.
Andrews feels it would go a long way
in educational value in the industry.
Too many persons set about reform
ing the world before informing ^hem
selves.
