RATES ¥ Cne year (In Advance) ....-------2------------+--+ $2.50 é WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.— The following transcript is made from a recent radio address by Fulton Lewis, Jr., veteran Washington eorrespondent, over Station WOL and the Coast-toCoast network of the Mutual Broadcasting System. It describes in some detail exper_ jences of Calpital newpp4gper men with the National Labor Relations Act in connection with attempts to organize employees of the Press Club. This.excerpt from Mr. Lewis’ radio “address is reproduced for the infor: mation of newspaper editors by the ' National Association of Mianufacturers, 14 West 49th Street, New York City. Mr. Lewis said: “Now, .very frequently, the most important and far reaching events, take place very quietly, and inconspicuously and that is just what has happened during the last few weeks, in connection with the National Labor Relations Board. You know, most newspapermen, here in Washington, the editors, the writers, the columnists, and the correspondents, 90 or 95 per cent of them, I think, have always been rather friendly, to the Labor Relations Board, They support it, and they even defend it, rather generally. : The basic philosophy of the W2gner Labor Act, of course, is to protect the worker against explojtation, and intimidation, and to guarantee the right of collective bargaining. The principle is generally accepted as desirable, by all progressive, fair minded people, very few of the newspapenmen have paid much at-: tention to the activities of the board, most of the actual news édevelopments there are rather dull, and routine, and most of the correspondents; without having had any firsthand contact with the board, have generally assumed it was doing a good job,-in a perfectly fair Way. They’ve supported it because they support the theory of the Wagner Labor Act. : But in the last few days the newspaper gentlemen, have been awakened with a rather rude start. They’ve had an experience of their “own, a first-hand object lesson of the way the Labor Relations Board operates. : And from present indications, that little experience is going to have an important effect on the newspaper attitude, in the future. What happened was this: The famous National Press Club, you‘ know, is composed of all the columnists, editors, special writers, and news correspondents’ in Washington. It has 54 employees, and I might mention, that those employees are very excellently treated. The ‘pay for colored waiters is from $65 to $100 a month (which is ‘far above the union wage scale) plus three full meals a day. There’s a very large Christmas fund, every yeaf,. whenever an employee, or any member of his family, is taken sick, he gets full pay, indefinitely, and the ub: pays for all of his doctor’s and “hospital expenses (in some cases, ‘that has gone on for Many many. moriths.) 2 . All employees get vacation, every year, with full pay. They get almost double wages, for over time, they get their holidays off, with full pay. In the last two and a half years, no employee has resigned, and only _ three have been discharged, two of them for stealing and selling hundreds of dollars worth of food, from “the kitchen, and the other one, for making charges against a fellow employée, which he couldn’t substantiate when an _ investigation was * Some weeks ago, some representatives of the CIO began agitating, among the employees, and trying ‘to organize them, in the Cafeteria . lations Board conferred with the executive committee, of the Press Club. They set last Friday, as the day for the election. But rather strange things began to happen,.a number of the waiters, some of them helpers in the kitchen, began to make complaints. They said that while they were at work, people called at their homes, and told their ‘wives, that if they didn’t vote to join the CIO, they’d have their said that their wives had ‘been told they’d be fired, Then some of them brought in printed circulars, which had been sent to their wives, explaining why the employees should vote for the CIO. Those circulars listed ten statements of what the employees would get if they voted for the CIO, and what they would lose, if they voted against it. And a very careful analysis showed that 7 of the 10 statements were diametrically untrue. They were simple falsehoods. That was a little disillusioning to the newspapermen gentlemen, who run the National Press Club. They certainly were not opposed to the workers ‘signing up with the CIO— if they wanted to, and, as a matter of fact, I think a very heavy majority of the newspapernmen, in Washington, were in favor of the employes organizing. But these threats and false promises did seem rather unethical and improper, anf so some of the officials of the Press Club took the matter up, with the Labor Relations Board, They said they thought the employees had a right to know the truth, to be protected from racketeering and coercion. . And then came the crowning blow. The answer they got from the Labor Relations Board was, that the Board wasn’t in the slightest concerned, with any coercion, or the threats, or of intimidation, by Labor organizers, who were trying to get the workers to join a union. It was merely interested in .making sure, that the officers and members of the National Press Club made no attempt to tell the workers not to join. They said the Press Club officers would rot be permitted to contradict the false statements, or to reassure the employees against the threats of violence. ae And furthermore, the board would not do anything about it. Now, as it turned out, it made very little difference. That election was held, the employees voted—31 to 23—not to join the CIO. But that’s a minor point. The important angle is what has happened. to the sentiment among the newspapermen, who make up the Press Club, because this little experience seems to have been a rather severe jolt to their idealism. There’s a feeling, that the Laboy Relations Board is not giving pro tection to the workers, it’s given license to the organizers. : During the last four or five days, I have heard the same remark, from ‘dozens of the men, who were strong supporters of the Labor Relations Board, before. “If this is the way the Labor Relations Board operates, no wonder there’s such a howl of protest. -I’m surprised that every businessman and industry in the ‘United States, isn’t yelling its head off.” And unless I’m very much mistaken, I think you’ll find that the handling of news stories, out of Washington, about the National Labor Relations Board, will take a very different turn, from now on, and that’s likely to be reflected, in a very: different attitude, down at the Capitol. : I think you’ find that the next Congress will go through, with some of these investigations of the Labor Board, which were blocked in the last session. I think you'll find a general demand for a general house A representative of the Labor Re‘ cleaning, and for some adequate exor Portraits, Commercial Photography, 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, Enlarging and Framing, Kodaks and Photo Supplies i ae 3S arms and legs broken. Some of them . ; < “=. TWENTY AFTER FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY planation, as to why the worker . hasn’t just as much right to be pro-. tected against threats, and coercion . and intimidation, by a labor organ-. izer, who wants him to join a union, as he is, against the employer, who is trying to prevent him from joining one. : And. apparently, from the developments, today, there’ be plenty of support for that investigation, within the ranks of labor itself. Because, this afternoon, down in Houston, Texas, Mr. William Green, told the American Federation of Labor, that he will call for a complete overhauling of the National Labor Relations, by the next Congress. He made the charge, that the board is merely a stooge, of the CIO. That it’s unfair and biased, that it does not have at heart the interest of labor in general. . : And he announced that the federation will use its entire strength, in an effort to defeat Mr. Donald Wakefieid Smith, one of the members of the Board, when his renomination comes up before the Senate, for ratification. THIS AND THAT By ROY GRIFFITHS DEETER HAS any kind friend a nice soft shoulder that we may weep upon? Why? Well, and all, we cannot say that the election results have made us exactly happy, howsomever, maybe we shall live through it. WE understand that quite a lot of snow fell yesterday a few miles above Nevada City, and by the way the weather is turning cooler daily we believe the time is drawing close for a ski inspection. We are about to get ours out and dope ’em up for the glad days of falling-down-andgetting-up-and-falling down, that lie ahead—like Bruce’s spider, we try, and try again. We just finished reading Daphne DuMaurier’s new book, ‘‘Rebecca’’ and we must say it left us with a terrible depression, and probably we shall not recommend it to most people, it is so horribly full of frustration even if it takes a rather unexpected turn about two thirds through MARX BROTHERS IN FARCE “ROOM SERVICE’ A HIT Pe How to produce a Broadway play without a cent of money, forms the unusual basis of ‘“‘Room Service’’, the Marx Brothers new comedy opening Sunday at the Nevada Theatre. A close copy of the play “Room Service” presents the Marx. trio as shoestring theatrical producers searching industriously for a financial backer while blithly running up an immense bill at a Broadway hotel. Their play and cast are all ready, but they haven’t a nickel to rent a theatre! 4 Just as their unpaid hotel bills are plunging them into plenty of hot water, a backer appears on the horizon, and the three: comics are kept busy juggling the various hectic situations in which they find themselves—finally managing to have their principal foe finance the show. himself without being aware of it! Crammed from start to finish with side-splitting incidents, “Room Service’’ is said to be-sthe funniest vehicle of the Marx Brothers career. Lucille Baill, Ann Miller and Frank Albertson are featured in this RKO Radio Picture. -AUNT SARAH For breakfast, for supper, for afternoon tea cinnamon buns exactly fill the bill. Fall and ‘winter is the easiest time to make the yeast recipes for the amateur as the heat for the raising may be more easily controlled. This recipe is for the Dutch sticky buns, . : CINNAMON BUNS ; (The Famous Dutch Sticky Buns) One cup scalded milk. One-half cup chopped raisins. Two tablespoons currants. One-half teaspoon cinnamon. Brown sugar. fe Two tablespoons finely chopped citron. a One-half cake yeast dissolved in one-fourth cup warm water. Three cups flour. ‘One-half teaspoon salt. Three tablespoons butter. Dissolve yeast in warm water and add to milk which has been allowed to become luke: warm. Add sugar (bout 3 tablespoons), salt and the the story—by that time you are so . gosh darned low, that you really . don’t care much if things turn out iO. K. or not. We are disappointed in ‘Daphne, her book “Gerald,” a por, trait,” was fine. It was about her ‘father, the late Sir Gerald DuMaurier for years the idol of the London stage, so probably this is why we felt let down over ‘‘Rebecca’’ maybe, you will like it anyhow. We notice that on the 20 and 21 Nov. Deanne Durbin will be showing at the Nevada City theatre in ‘That
Certain Age’, put it on your ‘‘must”’ list, she is as good as ever and is teamed with Mervyn Douglas, and who would not walk a mile to see him? Our Deanna is growing very fast, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a suitable vehicle for her, but her voice is as good as ever, no two days about it, that youngster will go far. Have you seen some of the newest varieties of pink chrysanthemums? They are. perfectly beeeeeautiful. Some ook. like shaggy dahlias and ‘others are first cousin to asters, They range in color from the palest: pink to a deep rose, and boy, are they easy to grow. You plant them in March or so, and they will grow from slips most easily. A tip to you gardners, who like something new and different and easy. We are really all of atwitter about them, and we think we shall extend our specializing from iris to ‘“‘“mums.”’ It is an engaging turn of mind we seem to have today don’t you think? ‘. From ski to ’mums in one breath so to write! And so with this, we say to you, good skiing, and cheerio everybody.
