Labor Department
Chief Is Injured
Columbus (OLNS)--Edgar W.
Brill, aged 49, of Parma, chief of the
division of factory and building in
spection of the industrial relations
department, was reported in "fairly
good" condition in White Cross Hos
pital here Friday, where he is suffer
ing serious back injuries, cuts and
bruises, sustained in an automobile
crash Wednesday.
Also injured were James McBride,
aged 40, of Akron, and Anthony T.
Corrigan, Cleveland, who is an ele
vator inspector in the division headed
by Brill. Corrigan» was only slightly
injured, according to reports.
The accident occurred when the
automobile driven by Brill collided
head-on with another car ton the
Three-C's highway north of Wester
ville.
Brill and Corrigan are well known
to Ohio trade unionists. The former
has been chief of the division of fac
tory and building inspection since
1931, when he was appointed by Gov
ernor George White. He is a mem
ber of a Cleveland Painters' Union.
Corrigan attended the convention
of the Ohio State Federation of Labor
gate from Elevator Constructors'
at Springfield last year as a dele
Local Union No. 17, Cleveland.
Columbus Labor Paper
Control Board Named
Columbus (OLNS) In keeping
with the reorganization of the Colum
bus Federation of Labor, delegates
last week elected a new three-member
Board of Control to direct the policies
and publication of the federation's
official newspaper, the Labor Tribune.
New members are George Lyons,
Painters' Local Union No. 727, and
Fred Plimell, Typographical Union
No. 5, Carroll McGhee, Musicians'
Union No. 103, was re-elected as
representative of the miscellaneous
crafts.
Plimell defeated T. R. Ellis, presi
dent of Typographical Union No. 5,
as representative of the Printing
Trades on the Control Board. Ellis
was a leader in the fight early this
year to restrain revocation of the
charter by the A. F. of L. as a part
of the CIO purge and reorganization
of the local federation.
In supervising the re-installation of
the old charter and election of offi
cers, Alfred T. Murphy, general or
ganizer for the A. F. of L., cautioned
the delegates to select Control Board
members who would conform the edi
torial policies of the Labor Tribune
to the policies advocated by the
American Federation of Labor and for
the benefit of workers organized under
the banner of the A. F. of L.
LABOR ELECTIONS
ORDERED
On 50 Ocean and Gulf
Steamship Lines
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—The
National Labor Relations Board has
ordered that elections be held as
promptly as practicable among the
unlicensed personnel—with certain
exceptions—employed in the deck,
engine and steward's departments of
50 steamship lines operating out of
Atlantic and Gulf ports. The seamen
will choose between the International
Seamen's Union of America and the
National Maritime Union of America
as their representative for the pur
poses of collective bargaining.
In another concurrently held elec
tion, the unlicensed personnel of the
International Sun Oil Company will
select a bargaining agency from
among three labor organizations, the
two named and the Sun Marine Em
ployes' Association.

OPPOSITE POST OFFICE
The board's direction of the 51 elec
tions follows the filing on June 11
THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
of petitions by the International Sea
men's Union, affiliated with the Am
erican Federation of Labor. A hear
ing in the case was held in New York
city on June 21 before Trial Exam
iner Robert M. Gates. At that time
testimony was presented both by
I.S.U. and by the National Maritime
Union, an independent labor organi
zation formed on May 8, 1937, and
unaffiliated with any other labor or
ganizations.
Both unions entered claims to a
majority of the unlicensed personnel
employed by the companies. Most of
the companies, through their repre
sentatives at the hearing, admitted
the existence of a controversy be
tween these two unions, and expressed
a desire that the board resolve it by
holding elections.
I.S.U. and N.M.U. each have con
tracts with various companies includ
ed in this case. By filing petitions
the board believes I.S.U. has waived
its rights to assert the existence of
these contracts as a bar to elections.
Similarly the filing of petitions by
N. M. U. in the cases of International
Mercantile Marine, Luckenbach
Steamship Company, Inc., and Black
Diamond Steamship Corporation, pre
cludes any assertion of rights under
contracts which it has made with any
of these companies.
CIO Flays Davey
In Federal Court
Columbus (OLNS)—Federal Judge
Mell G. Underwood last week reserved
until August 4 his decision on a plan
by CIO attorneys for an immediate
decision on the requested injunction
restraining the Ohio National Guard
and local law enforcement agencies
in the Mahoning valley from alleged
interference with the constitutional
rights of CIO steel strikers.
Judge Underwood announced that
he would rule at the later date on
a number of motions made during the
offering of testimony on the CIO's
plea for the injunction. His decision
on that point came at the close of
testimony by witnesses placed on the
stand by the CIO.
In his closing arguments before the
court, Edward Lamb, co-counsel with
Carrington T. Marshall for the CIO,
bitterly denounced the action of Gov
ernor Martin L. Davey in using state
militia to protect workers desiring
to return to their jobs instead of
maintaining the "status quo," for
which purpose the state troops were
originally called out.
Plan Labor Institute
Columbus (OLNS)—Plans for a
series of labor institutes for the pur
pose of explaining the benefits of the
social security program to the worker
are being made by the Columbus Fed
eration of Labor in co-operation with
DeWitt Huffman, educational director
of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor.
Improvements made in the Ohio
workmen's compensation law by
amendments and the creation of re
gional boards to hold first hearings
on claims, all obtained at the hands
of the 92nd general assembly through
the efforts of the Ohio State Feder
ation of Labor will be explained as a
feature of one of the institutes.
President John C. Getreu, of the
Columbus Federation of Labor, has
appointed a committee composed of
C. H. Frank, Machinists' Union. Rob
ert Farley, Pressmen's Union, and Au
gust Bauer, Brewery Workers' Union,
to assist him in completing the ar
rangements with Director Huffman.
Complaint Names
Republic Steel
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—The
National Labor Relations Board has
issued a complaint against the Repub
lic Steel Corporation, charging spe
cifically the company and its agents
with:
1. Locking out employes in Canton
and Missillon, Ohio.
2. Discharging 75 for union activ
ity.
3. Threatening employes with dis
charge or lay-off for union activity,
4. Refusing to rehire certain em
ployes because of their participation
in the strike.
5. Dominating and contributing fi
nancial support to company unions
at five of its plants.
6. Trailing and beating up union
organizers before the strike started.
7. Increasing the company police
force and using this force to interfere
with peaceful picketing.
8. Maintenance of arsenals "for the
purpose of interfering with, restrain
ing and coercing its employes at said
plants in the exercise of their right to
self-organization."
9. Promoting "back-to-work" move
ments during the strike.
10. Interfering with peaceful pick
eting and intimidation of employes
by shooting at them.

DRIVER'S RULES
The Time to Prevent An
Accident is Before It Occurs
Never pass a car or any vehicle
going in the same direction at a street
or highway intersection nor when
near the brow of a hill nor on any
curve or at any other point where
view of the road ahead is obstructed.
Dim your lights at night when ap
proaching a vehicle coming in oppo
site direction.
Apply brakes gradually. Do not
come to a sudden stop, except in
emergency.
Use extreme caution when there
are children playing in the street or
on the sidewalk.
When stopping on a grade be sure
that brakes are set and that the
front wheels are turned to the right.
In descending steep grades always
change to second or low gear. Do
not disengage your clutch.
PITTANCES PAID
To Workers and Dividends
Soar
Ottwa ("ILNS)—New organiza
tions, demands and strike waves re
eal the existence of wage rates in
heretofore unorganized occupations
as scandalous as those exposed by a
parliamentary commission during the
trough of the depression.
When members of the United Tex
tile Workers Union struck at the
Peterboro plant of the Dominon
Woolens and Worsted Company, they
showed their payslips for the past
fortnight to reporters. Here are typi
cal amounts:
A female weaver, employed three
years, $7.41 for 98 hours' work male
weaver, employed 12 years, $12.07
for 90 hours' work male carder, em
ployed 20 years, $32.67 for 99 hours'
work.
Organization in many Ontario and
Quebec textile mills has reached a
stage where demands for higher
wages and shorter hours are being
made. Companies stall and complain
of poverty, though a royal commis
sion showed the bigger concerns made
net profits of from 60 to 150 per cent
during the depression years.
The Golden Rule of labor unionism
is to buy the goods of others as you
would have them buy yours.
