Presenting
Editor:
The present administration, with its
tariff and foreign policies, recall to
memory the great Tex Rickard when
he was about to stage a "battle of the
century" between a champ and a
palooka."
Tex was, while the administration
is, master of ballyhoo. The former
knew, just as the latter knows, the
value of the build-up. Those who re
member the propaganda and ballyhoo
of 1!1C-1!)17, which was required to
drag us into the last European argu
ment, will readily see the analogy. If
by election time in 11) 10 there should
be no actual crisis, leave it to our state
department to create one. Then you
will be told not to swap horses while
crossing the stream. Just another
giant red herring to distract attention
from the abysmal failure of the admin
istration to solve the unemployment
problem.
When either Mussolini or 11 '.tier
finds himself confronted with a bad
economic situation, another "venture'
and the people are told to tighten their
belts. This procedure allows the peo
pie to forget the present and hope for
the future. Now we find our inter
nationally-minded administration plag
iarizing the copyrighted policy of th
dictators.
Now that we are arming for peace
it should no longer be necessary to
keep in force the so-called reciprocal
trade treaties negotiated by the Hon
orable Cordell Hull, Secretary of
State, in the interests of peace. Tlx
ink 011 Hull's report of a successful
pow wow on the equator had scarcely
dried when the Argentine government
issued a decree reducing her imports
from the United States by $8f,000,
000. A very successful sojurn, Mr
Secretary.
Mr. Albert A. Johnson, president of
the "Buy American" Institute sheds
some interesting light on our tarilT
jxtlicy. To quote Mr. Johnson, "Today
in America we are warmed with coal
from far off Russia, clothed in part
with cottons from Japan and woolens
from Europe, shod with shoes from
Czechoslovakia, and above all are fed
with hams from Poland, bacon from
Ireland and the meat products of
South America."

N. Y. Building Service
Strike Wins Pay Boost
New York, N. Y. (AFLWNS).-The
four days' strike of four thousand
elevator operators and maintenance
employes in hundreds of loft and oflici
buildings in the garment and fur area
of New York City was ended by 1h
adoption of a plan proposed by Mayor
La Guardia for an immediate increase
in wages of .$1 a week and a reduction
in the length of the work week from
forty-eight to forty-seven hours, with
a further reduction to forty-six hours
at the end of eighteen months, when
negotiations will be reopened 011 tin
question of wages.
The strike was called by Local 32-B
of the Building Service Employes
I'nion, an affiliate of the American
Federation of Labor. James J. liam
brick, president of the union, said the
walkout crippled (00 buildings.
The strike was directed against lli
Midtown and Pen 11 Zone Realty Own
ers Associations, whose officials had
refused to grant the demands of the
union for higher wages and shorter
hours following the expiration of a
three-year agreement with the two as
sociations.
Trior to the strike the wages of
building service employes ranged from
$28 to $2(5.7F per week. The union
originally demanded wage increases of
from 15 to 20 per cent and a reduction
of the work week from forty-eight to
forty hours.
Competent observers estimated that
the walkout caused by the refusal o
the two realty owners associations to
come to the terms with the (bidding
Service Union prevented 100,000 em
ployes from going to work. Manufac
turers estimated that subversive action
of the realty owners caused a loss o
business of $20,000,(100 a day in tin
area affected by the strike.
The settlement plan provided that
all differences outside of wages and
hours were to be adjusted by Edward
F. McGrady. former Assistant Sec re
tary
of Labor.

Representative Solon Makes
Detailed Explanation
of Propositions
Perth Amboy, N. J.—The reading of
2 proposed agreement held the in
rest of the members of Local Union
\. at their last regular meeting,
March 10. Brother James Solon, rep
enting the Executive Board, gave
letailed explanation of various prop
itious. These were given serious
nsideration by the members and ac
rding to the opinion of all present
i strong determination was shown tc
ave an agreement with the Fords
'orcelain Works.
Primary election for national offi
rs was held with a very good vote
turn into headquarters. We hope
\eryone will be pleased with the out
me of the election. Of course we
alize it is very hard to please every
ne that is impossible.
Brother Thomas Kelly, president of
lie Central l.abor Union and the
eamsters' Union was scheduled to
weak at our meeting, but during the
urse of the meeting a telegram war
•eceived stating that due to seriou*
:il)or trouble in Camden he would lx
1 uable to attend.
It was reported that there is at
iresent a bill before the New Jersey
'late Legislature, Bill No. 47, which
a as introduced by labor's arch enemy,
'.'nator Foran. This bill, if passed
wll make it impossible for men hav
ng any work in connection with hand
i.'ig of food stuffs t6 organize a union.
Labor's position as regards to the
lassage of any labor legislature is
very slim, so says Mr. Vincent Mur
!iy, A. F. of L. Secretary. This,
lirother Murphy contends, is due most
y to convincing politicians, such as
Senator Foran of Hunterdon County
Hid Assemblymen Fred He Voe ol
Middlesex County. Assemblyman De
Voe, who is a leader in the Assembly,
has always appeared to be 011 the sidt
of labor, but according to reports he
nothing but a "two timer." All union
rganizations in New Jersey should
•ontact their representatives to vote
1 gainst "SENATE BILL NO. -17."

Roseville Local Continues to
Receive Many New
Applications
Roseville, 0.—After some absence
from the columns of the Herald, Lo
cal Union No. 135 returns with the
news and views of Roseville.
A 100 per cent attendance marked
the last meeting of the organization
when the primary election for national
officers was held. Looking over the
ballot, we see the names of some
mighty fine men.
Applications for membership would
seem to be on the up-grade. We re
ceived live at the last meeting, while
obligating two with more in sight. It
looks as though we are still in the
business.
We would like to see all members
of the various shop committees pres
ent at every meeting. It is your duty
to be present to bring your ideas to
the fore. At one meeting some very
special business was brought to the
floor but action could not be taken
because some of these members were
absent.
I saw an item in the Herald re
cently which stated: "If you are on
the right track and sit down you may
be run over."
Work remains good appears to be
improving in fact. We hope it is the
same throughout the industry. We
haven't heard anyone complain about
not having enough work.
Sister Sylvia Driggs suffered a re
lapse after only a few days back on
the job. After a long illness she was
declared in good health and came back
to her bench, but she is now again
confined to her bed, we are very sorry
to report.
1 noticed that Brother James M.

We certainly hope he placed some
good ideas concerning labor in the of

President Floyd Jividen presided at
the regular meeting of Local Union
No. 130. Wet* had a very large attend
ance with many new faces throughout
the crowd. Our meetings are becom
ing more enthusiastic each meeting
night keep up the good work, fellows.
We had Brother Patrick Lynch with
us last meeting night. This is the first
for a long time, but we would like to
see him become a steady attender as
he is an excellent member and would
do the meetings a lot of good.
A withdrawal card was issued to
Brother Kenneth Kimble, fireman
from Laughlin No. 4 a transfer card
to Oliver Densmore, fireman's helper
from No. 8. These two brothers have
both been advanced to better jobs
and we hope they find pleasure in
their new work.
In our last article we reported we
had four delinquent members. Well, it
has been cut to two members who are
three months in arrears. We are not
going to print the names this time,
but from now on if we have any de
linquents their names are going in the
paper. So if you don't want to see
yourself in the Herald under the de
linquent title, keep youir dues paid up.
We are aiming at a one hundred
per cent local, it won't be hard to at
tain if the members are willing to
work together and help get in all
stragglers. We have one man who
promised sometime ago to pay his re
instatement fee in payments. He has
paid $5.50 and hasn't been to local or
paid any since. We do not know why
this Brother wishes to do this way as
he should know that we are going to
have him in the local, we still insist
we are going to be one hundred per
cent.—0. C. 130.
Plenty of people have a good aim
in life, but a lot of them don't pull
the trigger.
