Labor Joins to Celebrate
President's Birthday
President William Green, of the American Federation of Labor,
has accepted an invitation to serve on the national committee, and to
organize a national labor committee. He has asked Matthew Woll,
A. F. of L. vice president, to serve as secretary of that committee.
This week invitations were extended to international union presi
dents and secretaries to serve as members of the .national labor com
mittee.
Proceeds of the birthday balls tins year will be divided between
communities and the nation. Seventy per cent will remain in the com
munity where raised, while 30 per cent will go into a national research
fund to be expended under direction of the president to find a cure for
the infantile paralysis scourge. Thus all sufferers will be&efit. None
of the proceeds will go to the Warm Springs Foundation.
Labor's participation in last year's celebration drew Warm praise
from every section, and it is the purpose of the officers of the national
labor committee to beat last year's performance.
In responding to the invitation of Henry L. Doherty, chairman of
the national committee, President Green said he accepted with the
greatest of pleasure the invitation to serve as chief of labor's com
mittee and to be a member of the national commitee. President Roose
velt announced his approval of the plan at Warm Springs, accepting
Mr. Doherty's offer to again head the national celebration movement.
Labor headquarters for the celebration will be at 609 Carpenters'
building, Washington, D. C., where Secretary Woll has established
offices. All communications regarding the birthday ball should be sent
to Mr. Woll at that address.
President Green said in his wire to Col. Doherty:
"I accept your invitation to serve as member of the national com
mittee to serve in collecting funds at the birthday balls given in differ
ent cities and towns throughout the nation for the president's funds
for the relief of infantile paralysis sufferers. Along with you and your
associates on the committee, I am happy to serve in the promotion of
such a worthy cause and such a commendable enterprise. Please rely
upon labor everywhere to co-operate to the fullest extent, and to serve
in every possible way in making this year's birthday celebration to
the president a complete success."

Washington, C. (ILNS).
Labor will again join in celebrating the president's birthday oil
January 30.
On that day there will be a birthday ball in every American com
munity, the proceeds again to go into the great national campaign
against infantile paralysis.
The corporation has raised the ques
tion of the right of the labor board
to take jurisdiction in the case of a
company engaged solely in intrastate
commerce, and a court test of the
board's order is expected.
The labor board found that a group
of employes of the New York Rapid
Transit Corporation began the or
ganization of a local of the Amalga
mated Association of Street and Elec
tric Railway and Motor Coach Em
ployes of America in February. In
July the superintendent of the com
pany called in individually all the
members of the union and questioned
many of them regarding their union
activities. Thereafter the company
discharged sixteen members of the
union. Four other members were dis
charged subsequently after they had
sworn to affidavits submitted to the
New York Regional Labor Board re
garding the interviews with the su
perintendent.
CLOTHING
Workers Collect From Job
Insurance Fund
By A. F. of L. News Service.
Rochester, N. Y.—Rochester's 6,500
unemployed clothing workers have be
gun to share in a $75,000 reserve fund
setup since 1928 by agreement be
tween manufacturers and the Amal
gamated Clothing Workers.
Six firms are participating in the
job insurance plan, the success of
which is regarded as especially inter
esting in view of current discussion
of unemployment insurance through
out the country.
Each of the workers affected will
receive a percentage of what he or
she would have received had earnings
not been terminated by lay-offs.
Arms Makers Violate
Chaco Ban, Nye Says
Swarthmore, Pa. (ILNS)—Senator
Gerald P. Nye charged that American
arms makers were violating the ban
on munitions shipments to the Chaco
in a speech at Swarthmore College.
"Munitions manufacturers seem to
have no regard for the fact that the
government has placed an embargo on
the shipment of arms to South Amer
ica," Nye said. "These war racketeers
are up to their old tricks."
"They have found a hundred and
one ways to get around provisions of
the embargo. Within the last 10
days there left the United States a
larger shipment of munitions than
has ever been sent from these shores.

Everybody's own birthday is to him
the most important birthday.
But a special significance for
everyone is found in the birthday
of the president of the United
States, for it is to be set aside
for a purpose that ceases to be
personal to any one person or any
small group and thus become per
sonal to everyone.
On the president's birthday the
nation will gather more sinews of war
with which to treat and combat infan
tile paralysis.
Last year the nation raised a great
fund with which to treat and combat
infantile paralysis.
Last year the nation raised a great
fund with which to endow Warm
Springs Foundation. This year a new
plan will be followed, with the presi
dent's personal endorsement.
Every community will benefit di
rectly, and a national fund l'or re
search will be raised.
That is a grand idea.
Last year labor joined in celebrating
and ?n raising money.
This year labor will join likewise,
probably more effectively, because of
last year's experience.
Labor will join with others in many
places in many other places it will
conduct its own ball, carry out its own
program, remit its own contribution to
the general struggle against one of
the most dreaded of all afflictions.
Himself a sufferer—and a con
querer—the president plays a dramat
ic and appealing part in this battle
to help many sufferers.
President Green does a kindly and
a creditable thing in agreeing with
enthusiasm and energy to join in this
campaign. He is a member of the
national committee. He is chairman
of labor's national committee. Mat
thew Woll does an equally kindly and
reditable thing in agreeing to serve as
secretary and to care for the immense
volume of work entailed in such a pro
gram.
Labor everywhere will want to join
in this great campaign.
Infantile paralysis knows no boun
dary lines. It strikes at will, with
tragic consequences, in all ranks and
in all places.
The American people have deter
mined to conquer this disease. They
know that research and care will
meet the need.
For those now afflicted there will
be care.
To win the war there will be re
search.
Already labor headquarters have
been established. The wheels are in
motion. When labor goes into action
it goes places.
This is one of the many times when
labor gees into action for the sake of
the common good.
Those who think labor merely fights
should learn of the many, many times
when labor builds. Strikes are but
one side of labor's great task—and
a small side, at that.
Labor is the great building
force. It ia forever seeking bet
terment, using such methods as
seem best.
Labor joins in this birthday cele
bration, not as something unusual, but
as something typical of its spirit and
purpose.
Every local union in America ought
to participate.
Women Laundry Workers
Get $3,344 in Back Pay
New York City (ILNS)—Collec
tions of $3,344.83 in back wages due
891women and minor employes in 79
laundries were made in October by
inspectors in the Department of La
bor's Bureau for Enforcement of tht
Minimum Wage, Industrial Commis
sioner Elmer F. Andrews reports. Ir
most instances, the collections, which
averaged $3.77 per employe, were the
difference between the substandar
wage being paid the workers and the
legal minimum fair wage.
Between August 6, when the man
datory wage order became effective
and October 31, the bureau collected
$5,038.33 for 1,517 women and minor
empSyes in 245 plants, an average of
$3.32 per worker. Most of the col
lections were in Greater New York.

NEW STUNT FOR
STRIKERS
San Francisco, Calif.—The San
Francisco News publishes the follow
ing item, giving an entirely new
"stunt" indulged in by Japanese
workers:
"According to communication
from J. Harold Dollar from the Dol
lar Steamship line's office in Kobo
800 striking Osaka machine workers
recently "won" a strike by using not
picketing nor violence, but just pas
sive resistance.
"The letter continued: 'employes
left the factory in a body and pro
ceeded to the top of a high mountain,
advising their employers they would
remain there until their demands had
been met.
'They remained there for more
than two months, when finally the
prefectural authorities effected a re
turn to work by pointing out the strike
was not patriotic and was hurting the
prosperity of the nation. In the mean
time the employers paid the strikers
$30,000 as food allowance but made
it clear they were not doing so as
payment in settlement of the strike!'"
