Four million—
Automobile production for 1940—
Desired, planned for, talked about—
Comes then forecast of anticipated
recession—
Because European allies will not
buy in America (U. S.)—
Having cheaper sources of their
own for war supplies-
Excepting, perhaps, airplanes—
».
Comes then, phenagling with labor
unions—
Employes in automobile factories
discover difficulties—
Management shy about new con
tracts for coming year—
Labor watching immediate wage
dollars and cents—
While investors (management)
watch prices on bonds—
Which they begin to sell at top of
market—
Sign, for 100 years, of coming foot
balls of depression—
Inventories have been piling up—
By merchandisers trying to "beat

Banking on coming slaughter in

and the Worst is Yet to Come
Plus usual demand for American
commodities—
To replace stuff shot away—
You pays your money—
And you takes what is handed you—
Mills of the profit gods grind on—
Snickering in their sleeves at the

Ill-housed, ill-fed, ill-clad—
While ancient priests of High Fi

Mumble their incantations of greed
and hate—
Still solemnly believing in their God
Prosperity—
Who seems to be "asleep, or gone

The land can still produce the food
and fibres—
Assembly lines and little shops have
capacities long tested—
Youth by the millions come Jrom
high schools and colleges—
Skilled men, not wholly gone to seed
as yet—
Mark time, and watch the omens
of the days—
Wondering why this torrent of
wrath has been poured out—
While the coals of their patience
smolders—
Awaiting the breath of some gale
of emotion—
To fan up blazes of hate from pent
up impotence—
Which might better have been en
ergized and set to work—
A man has a solar plexus—
Plus nerve centers placed here and
there—
Some doctors know where the nerve
lines run—
Patronize Hamilton Industries
LEADING HAMILTON CONCERNS WHO SOLICIT THE CO OPERATION OF ORGANIZED LABOR AND THEIR FRIENDS
But who knows the social plexus of
this nation—
To paralyze which would wreck a
civilization?

JERSEY WAGE AVERAGE UP
Newark", N. J. (ILNS).—New Jer
sey industrial workers are receiving
an average weekly wage which is
higher than at any time since 1930,
but is 9 per cent below the peak level
of December, 1928, says a memoran
dum prepared by the State Chamber
of Commerce. The average industrial
pay envelope for a week, based on
earnings in the quarter ending last
June, is reported at $26.42.
A1 Hester, Sec.
What program of preparedness is
being planned—
To meet the horrid tramp of the
hordes of barbarism recalled—
Slithering up from th§ mucl? of
wasted human hopes
Unplanned output of a civilization
at its peak—
Ten million decent human beings
unemployed—
Their aspirations, ideals, Ambi
tions—
Wet-blanketed by a decade of fu
tility.

A. F. OF L. REFUSES TO
BACK PATMAN BILL
Cincinnati (ILNS).—sAn attempt to
put organized labor on record as sup
porting the Patman bill to tax chain
stores out of existence ended in fail
ure when the fifty-ninth annual con
vention of the American Federation
of Labor ordered a resolution endors
ing the bill referred to the executive
council. The convention also directed
the council to make a study of exist
ing industrial relations between chain
stores and organized workers.
The resolution, offered by the dele
gation representing the Bricklayers,
Masons and Plasterers International
Union, provoked a long and sharp de
bate. Harry C. Bates, head of the
Bricklayers' delegation, spoke in sup
port of the resolution, which attacked
chain stores, endorsed the Patman
bill and made thinly veiled insinua
tions against union officials who op
posed the bill.
Debate was opened by recommenda
tion of the resolutions committee that
the resolution be sent to the executive
council.
Bates' attack on chain stores and
support of the Patman bill was an
swered by I. M. Ornburn, of the Union
Label Trades Department Patrick J.
Gorman, president of the Meat Cut
ters C. C. Coulter, secretary of the
Retail Clerks John B. Haggerty,
president of the Bookbinders and of
the Allied Printing Trades Council,
and John O'Connell of the San Fran
cisco Central Labor Union.
The speakers told in detail of prog
ress made in unionizing the A. & P.
and other chain stores, with particu
lar reference to their own organiza
tions, piling up for the record an im
pressive record of union growth and
gains in the chain store industry
throughout the nation,
When a vote was taken, only Bates
and one other member of his delega
tion registered disapproval of the
committee's report,
700,000 Are Dismissed
From W.P.A. Projects
Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS),—
Over 700,000 workers were dismissed
from the Works Projects Administra
tion rolls under the 18-month rule
during July and August, according
to a report by Deputy Commissioner
Howard O. Hunter. He added that
lists had been reduced to 1,600,557
on September 6, reflecting the final
dismissal of persons who had worked
18 months continuously on W. P. A.
projects.
