MIGRATORY LABOR HELDONINCREASE M.iss Perkins Says Millions Are Living Under Deplor- able Conditions. By the Associated Press. ‘Becretary of Labor Perkins told the Senate yesterday that milllons of American workmen and their fam- ilies have moved around the country in search of jobs without adequate direction and often living under “de- plorable” cbnditions. A certain amount of this labor mi- gration was necessary to take care of industrial changes and seasonal work, such as harvesting, Miss Perkins added in a report on migratory work- ers which the Senate ordereéd last year. “Increasing numbers of workers are forced to move ceaselessly across State lines to eke out a living by piecing together short and scattered seasons ©of employment in agriculture and in- dustry,” she said *As long as employers demand much more labor in one season than an- other, workers must migrate or find some alternative means of subsistence within each local area. i Shifting Held Necessary. “For hundreds of thousands of American workers, even a meager sub- sistence is dependent upon continual interstate migration “Migration of workers, although necessary, is largely unguided or ill- directed. Although the relocation of workers has been broadly advan- tageous, it has often been inefficient from the point of view of the par- ticular individuals involved There has been inadequate migration from many standard areas. At the same time there has often been too con- centrated a flow to particular locali- ties. “Rarely does any type of migrant have the assurance of a definite job until after he has moved. The lack of such assurance is especially disas- trous for seasonal migrants who hope at most to share in a few weeks of employment in one place. “When the migration of seasonal workers is overstimulated, untold misery results. “Such studies as are available sug- gest that migrants seeking new per- manent places of work, if they find employment, earn less than most work- ers in the areas to which they go. Seasonal migrants in agriculture seem to be able to average only about six months of work each year. They ap- bear to average about $300 a year per single man and $400 a year per family. Good Citizenship Menaced. “The conditions of migratory life, s observed in the areas recently sur- veyed, are a threat to the develop- ment of good citizens “The migrant and his family tend to be isolated from the normal activi- ties of the community, both because of their enforced mode of travel and living and because of community prejudices against them. “Living conditions for most migrants are deplorable. Familles with as many as six children are traveling in old cars and trucks. At night they sleep by the roadside, in squatter camps or crowd into one or two room cabins in low-priced tourist eamps, “Unaitached men live, for the most part, in congregate shelters main- tained by relief agencies or in ‘jun- gles’ Even labor camps provided for migrant agricultural workers are fre- quently crowded, inadequately equip- ped and insanitary. Lack Health Aids. “Lack of medical care and health Protection menaces the community as well as the migrants themselves. Edu- cational opportunities are lacking or extremely limited for the children of thousands of migrant workers, par- ticularly those of migrant agricul- tural workers, “‘Children old enough to work in the flelds are expected to contribute badly needed income, and parents often do not consider it worth while to enroll the younger children in school during their short stay in any one com- munity.” Miss Perkins emphasized that her | Teport was incomplete because of lack of funds for a comprehensive survey. 8Bhe said recommendations for legis- lation might come after a more com- Plete study of the problem was made. Federal Unions ‘(Continued !}omfi Fifth Page.) agency for a Government establish- ment merely because it held a ma- Jority membership. Representation Is Issue. Government workers' unions long have had the unquestioned right to bargain collectively, whether this en- tailed negotiation of wage scales or adjustment of grievances, in Congress or in individual offices as the case might be. It has been customary, how- ever, for union spokesmen to appear in behalf of their own membership. The possibility that the right of representation would become an im- portant issue, however, was seen Just about the time the U. P. W. was com- ing into existence, when the Raflroad Retirement Board announced that it had recognized Lodge 375 of the A. F. G. E. the bargaining agency for board employes belonging to the union. ‘The lodge is an affiliate of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, which was set up when the first Retirement Board ‘lodge of the A. F. G. E. was ousted 4n the purge of “liberals” at the De- troit convention last September. The board explained that this new lodge included in its membership more than 50 per cent of the active em- ployes of the agency and that, there- ‘fore, the recognition was extended ““‘except in the case of employes who ‘have been or may be denied member- ship in the lodge.” ‘The board,” its announcement edded, “will treat with such employes 88 it may deem appropriate. It is assumed that all employes not now members are eligible to apply for membership in your lodge.” The U. F. W. is counting on drawing members from the Retirement Board, the National Federation of Federal Employes, largest and oldest of the “white collar” unions, has member- #hip there in its Departmental Local 2.

E. that its leaders have no desire to desl for any one but their own members. One of the recent employment dis- putes that have been stirred in the Government, centering in the Social Security Board office in Baltimore, was wound up yesterday, so far as the board was concerned, when it rein- stated two employes, but upheld the dismissal of two others. The ousters had been protested by the Social Se- curity Board Union. Supervisory officials had contended the quartet had been dropped for in- efficiency. The union—which is ex- pected to come into the U. F. W.—had charged that union activities was the basis for the disciplinary action, and that racial prejudice also had been injected The board held that there was neither “union nor racial prejudice” in the Baltimore office, and sustained the dismissal of Bernard E. Schultz and William Sumpf. In the case of Isador Gordon and Ralph Bahn, the board said that there was such a “conflict” of evidence, as “to raise some question as to the justice of their dismissal,” and that, therefore, they should be restored to duty. The ac- tion followed a hearing at which Louis Resnick, director of informational service, sat in as referee, acceptabie to both sides, it was announced at the board.

Clark said Layton asserted he had been approached by two men who asked him to do them “a favor,” instructing him where to find the dynamite to throw at th- train. Area Held C. W. Jones, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, recently asked railroad officials to de- clare “unsafe” the area traveled by trains in the strike zone. Jones declared both men held with Layton were non-strikers and added the attempted bombing was “prob- ably a company-inspired plot.” Sidney D. Evans, management rep- resentative for the company, asked for a statement, said: “These two employes have worked for the company for 20 and 35 years. Their service records make it difficult to believe that they would have any part in any such undertaking.” Strike Leader James Mark's only comment was: “I've always said and will always believe such dynamite plots are inside jobs.” C. I. O. strike leaders, faced by back-to-work movements throughout the seven-State strike ares, tonight called four “show of strength” mass meetings for tomorrow afternoon. The rallies were announced for Johnstown, Youngstown, Warren and Canton, Ohio, where National Guards- men have enforced peace during the last week. Mark, S. W. O. C. lieutenant, con- tinued to assert 40,000 miners from the coal fields of Western Pennsylvania would come to Johnstown to hear an address by Philip Murray, 8. W. O. C. chairman, at Faith's Grove Amphi- theater, on the outskirts of the city. Although exact figures on the total number of men atill on strike in the 38-day-old labor controversy remained a topic of debate, & survey tonight showed that 23,200 men are idle at steel mills and mines not yet reopened. Several thousand others have stayed away from mills reopened under troop Pprotection. Clinton 8. Golden, 8. W. O. C. re- glonal director, said he had “suthentic information indicating the recruiting and shipment of professional strike- breakers to Johnstown by the Burns Detective Agency of Philadelphis and Pittsburgh.” He sald the information was being turned over to “appropriate govern- mental agencies for investigation.” Bethlehem officials declined comment on Golden's atatement. Inland Asks Poll. Attorneys for Inland Steel, whose 12,900 employes returned to work on Thursday under the terms of a “strike armistice” arranged by Gov. M. Clif- ford Townsend of Indians, sought to determine the number of Inland em- ployes enrolled in the Steel Workers’ Independent Union, a rival of the C. I o. Attorney Ernest S. Ballard asked the National Labor Relstions Board to subpoena the books of the Inde- pendent Union. He said he wished to compare the Independent Union membership with a list of 6,400 names of the C. I. O.- affilisted Steel Workers' Organizing Committee membership scrolls. At Canton, city police and Na- tional Guardsmen raided C. I. Q headquarters in Bandie's Hall on s search warrant signed by City De- tective George Beresford. The warrant stipulated that ma- chine guns, dynamite and ‘ammuni- tion were being sought.

In fact, except for & brief period, it has not been in use and is steadily declining.” Miss Perkins said the Labor De- partment had no power to stop ait- downs, and defended those Governors who had permitted them to continue while peace negotiations were in progress. “Knowing the people of their States and being closer to the facts and cir- cumstances,” she said, “they have been in a position to exercise patience and educative persuasion if and when that was the best method of securing the proper behavior of their fellow citi- Defends Labor's Ideals. ‘The Labor Department chief also included in her letter to Ditter & gen- eral defense of the country's organ- ized labor. “I want to assure you, air, that American wage earners—however un- wise they may have been at times in their selection of method of their be- havior during industrisl disputes— are not revolutionary in thought or feeling and do not seek to impair civil government, ruin industry or change our conception of private prop- erty,” she sald. “They sometimes have been hard Pressed, trested with impatience, con- A tempt and brutality when they were trying to improve their working con- ditions and status by ocollective bar- gaining.

Bv the Associated Pr DETROIT, July 3—~The Ford Mo- tor Co. challenged tonight the Na- tional Labor Relations Board's au- thority to regulate its relations with employes it described as “engaged in local production.” Answering an N. L. R. B. complaint of unfair labor practices on which a hearing is set for Tuesday, the Ford Co. denied all its allegations and as- serted it should be dismissed The formal answer signed by Harry Bennett, Pord personnel director, said Ford employes who beat and chased union organizers from plant gates May 26 “were at all times acting in self-defense” after the unionists had “entered into an unlawful conspiracy to trespass * * * and to cause a riot.” More than & dozen union members were treated for injuries after the fighting which attended distribution of handbills in their campaign to or- 8anize the 89,300 employes of the huge Ford plant in suburban Dear- born. The N. L. R. B. complaint charged the company with responsi- bility for what it termed “malicious and brutal assaults.” To Try Distribution Again. Leaders of the United Automobile Workers of America, a C. 1. O. affili- ate, announced a second attempt to distribute literature at the Ford plant will be made Wednesday morning. Homer Martin, U. A. W. president, ar- ranged to confer with Gov. Frank Murphy on the union's request for State police protection. The sevena-page document filed with the N. L. R. B. today by Louis J. Colombo, Ford Co. attorney, de- clared there were “lawful reasons” for discharge of numerous employes the board had charged were dismissed be- cause of union activity. Sources close to the Ford company have indicated it was prepared to carry to the United States Supreme Court its opposition to regulation by the N. L. R. B. Today's challenge to the board’s authority asserted that the discharged employes “labored only in the manufacturing department of respondent: that they took no part in the transportation to and away from respondent’s plant: nor did they participate in any activity which pre- ceded or followed manufacturing; that none of said employes was engaged in interstate or foreign within the true meaning of the na- tional labor relations act.” Presiding as trial examiner at Tues- day’s hearing will be John T. Lind- say, former Wisconsin attorney, who joined the Labor Board's staff three vears ago. The hearing will be held in the Federal Building here, “Freedom of Speech.” The Ford answer said that in dis- tributing a pamphlet entitled “Ford Gives Viewpoint on Labor” (which the N. L. R. B. listed as propaganda * * expressing its opposition to the exer- cise by its employes of their right to self-organization) the company “merely exercised its right of free- dom of speech and freedom of the 8imilarly the company said em- ployes who circulated a paper entitied “A Vote of Confidence” among Ford workers (which circulation the N. L. R. B. charged took place “during working hours and otherwise under circumstances calculated to intimidate and coerce” employes) were exercis- ing the same rights. A Labor Board charge that the company supported solicitation during working hours of memberships tn “the Ford Brotherhood of America, Inc.,” the Ford statement described as “im- material and irrelevant.” but added the acts complained of were “proper and lawful” The F. B. A. has peti- tioned the N. L. R. B. to intervene in Tuesday's hearing. Enumerating its reasons for ask- ing dismissal of the complaint, the Ford Co. declared: That “none of the alleged unfair labor practices * * * affected, bui- dened or obstructed the flow of inter- state or foreign commerce.” That “none of the acts complained of tended to lead to a labor dispute, burdening and obstructing commerce.” That “the National Labor Relations Board has no authority to regulate relations between employers and em- ployes engaged in local production” and “no jurisdiction to hear and de- termine assault and battery cases.” That “all the words, acts and con- duct of thie respondent were within the legal and constitutions rights of the respondent, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.” BIBLE SCHOOL TO START RIVERDALE, Md., July 3 (Special).

By ihe Associated P CHICAGO, July 3 —Representatives of the Inland Steel Co. bolted a Na- tional Labor Relation Board hearing on a complaint against the firm to- day. They “took a walk” from the ses- sions designed to settle the paramount lssue of the steel strike—the signing of contracts between management and labor organizations—after a sharp dispute over the recording of testi- mony. The controversy revolved about a court reporter hired by Inland coun- sel to make a complete transcript of the proceedings. Examiner Charles A. Wood of the N. L. R. B. said he would not object if the reporter en- gaged by the board consented. The latter said he would agree if the In- land reporter did not jot down the “off-the-record” testimony Wood then instructed the Inland reporter to take down only the ‘“rec- ord” matter. Ernest Ballard, Inland attorney, ordered him to report in full. The Inland reporter complied with Ballard’s suggestion, despite Wood's order to halt The Inland reporter was efected and Ballard and his aides departed immediately. Ballard said Inland would return if the official reporter or the one engaged by Inland is permitted to record all the proceedings. The hearings were based on the Steel Workers' Organizing Commit- tee’s charge that Iniand violated the Wagner act by refusing to sign an agreement, Py the Associated Press. MANTEO, N.
