LABOR THRONGS HEAR SPRINGER

~ OUTLINE INE POLICY

Bona Fide Representatives on State Boards Are Promised.

Indiana workers today had the promise of Raymond 8S. ‘Springer, Republican nominee for Governor, that, if elected, he would appoint bona fide labor representatives on|

all boards and commissions handling labor problems. ‘ “1 believe labor representatives! should be consulted in all matters of government in which labor may be interested or affected,” he said in a Labor Day speech in the Repub- | lican headquarters building at the Fairground. Mr. Springer also declared in favor of a shorter work week in| both public and private employment as a means of solving the unemployment problem, and .added that “we can not restore prosperity through wage cutting.” { Favors ‘Prevailing Wage’ “I am thoroughly in accord with the principles of the ‘prevailing _ wage rate’ and believe further that | "the prevailing wage plan should be , corrected by state legislation. to cover all public contracts in Indiana. I pledge myself to work toward this end whén I am elected Governor. I favor &qal opportunity for work and wages between men and women. I firmly believe | in adequate protection for all work- . ers in industry, and pledge my support for improvement in the work- - men’s compensation law. “I have always recognized the inalienable right of American labor to deal collectively and to work unitedly for the maintenance of American wage and living stand- | ards, and I shall fight unceasingly fo protect these standards.” i . To aid workers, Mr. Springer | said he would see that state insti- | tutions used . Indiana-mined coal. He said he would initiate a pro-| gram urging consumers to use In-| diana limestone and other natural resources and products of the state. |

Traces Labor Day History

_ Mr. Springer. traced the history of Labor Day, recalling that it was! inaugurated in 1882 by P. J. Mec-| Guire, founder of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and] Joiners of America, with the first observance in New York. ‘During the first three davs of the fair 22,000 sunflowers have been distributed from the G. O. P. Fairground headquarters, L. O. Chasey, director of the agricultural bureau of the Republican State Committee, | announced yesterday. Approximately 5000 persons have registered each day, he said.

40,000 Expected at | Wawasee Outing |

Arrangements were: being com- | pleted today to accommodate 40,600} persons at the Saturday afternoon: meeting of the Indiana Republican | Editorial Association outing at Lake | Wawasee, at which John D. M. Hamilton, G. O. P. hational chairman, is to speak. Paul Maddock, Bloomfield, asso- | ciation president, said delegations | from 30 northern Indiana counties | are expected to aftend. An overflow crowd is expected at the twoday editors’ meeting at the Spink- | . Wawasee Hotel, Mr. Maddock said, | and arrangements have been made | fo house editors and their guests in| two other hotels at the lake. Henry J. Allen, Kansas newspaper | publisher and former Governor and | United States Senator, is to speak at dinner Friday night.

Jewett to Speak in Irvington

Former Mayor Charles W. Jewett is to speak at the eighteenth annual watermelon feast Monday evening at Carr's Hall, 5438 E. Washington- | st, the Irvington Republican Club, sponsor, has announced. Other speakers are to be Raymond .S. Springer, Republican candidate for Governor, and Don F. Roberts,

New Impetus Given 30-Hour-Week Drive

By United Presa WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Organized workers returned to their jobs today, assured by their leaders that new and vigorous efforts would be made to obtain 30-hour work week. That was the Labor Day promise of William Green, president of Lhe American Federation of Labor, and John L. Lewis, head of the Committtee for Industrial Organization. Mr. Green, speaking at a Knoxville rally, held out little hope that the rift which led to suspension of Mr. Lewis and 19 powerful unions] from the Federation would be healed. : In Washington, Mr. Lewis | lamented that fewer than 4,000,000 | of the nation's 30,000,000 eligible | workers were affiliated with his organization. ‘Both declared that the 30-hour work week is an essential step toward reduced unemployment. Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential nomines, told an audi-| ence at Alma, Mich, that labor should abandon the New Deal.

The Court in its eight-months’ {annual session will receive more labor cases for decision than in any | previous year, lawyers said today. | These include many phases of the | Wagner National Labor Relations | Act, but none of them is likely to {have a more important ultimate | effect than the majority question | raised in the filing of an appeal by | the Virginian Railway.

The Railway Labor Act and the | Wagner Act each gives a govern- | ment board the right to order and supervise elections among workers. | This has been exercised chiefly as ketween company unions and outside or independent unions, but conceivably could also be used as | between craft and industrial unions |if the question arose as to which {union the employer should deal with. | In the Virginian case; the Fourth | Circuit Court of Appeals, in an |opinion by Judge John J. Parker, ruled in June that a mere majority lof those eligible voters who go to the polls constitute a legal majority in a union election. In the election, out of 46 of the railway's blacksmiths eligible to vote, 22 voted for a labor union, 8 for a company union, and 16 did not vote. The company contended that this was not a majority, but the National Mediation Board certified the outside union and the three-judge court unanimously upheld it.

Decision to Affect Unions

Labor men hold the decision of value to them, as they assert that anti-union employers otherwise could block organization efforts by {keeping timid workers away from the polls. “Popular government would hardly be workable on any other basis,” Judge Parker said in his decision, with that of political elections. The Seventh Circuit Court decided the same way in July in a similar case between the Santa Fe and the railway clerks’ union, and wenf a step further by ruling that blank or improper ballots were not to be counted in calculating what the majority should be. In the Santa Fe case, if improperly marked ballots had been included in the total cast, the clerks’ union would -have been short of a majority. >

Will King Edward VIII Wed?

Game Keeping England Agog

Princess Alexandrine of

Denmark Is Conceded Best ‘Bet.

By NEA Rervice LONDON, Sept. 8—“Will he or won't he get married?” is a midsummer guessing game that is keeping the :know-it-alls, the club prophets, and the be-diamonded socialities busy in Britain—and King Edward VIII has given them very few clews on which to work. What started it all off was a parliamentary incident of some

comparing the procedure

months ago. The question of allowances for the King and the

‘| royal family arose.

Among the provisions was one made in case the King got married and also in case an heir to the throne was born of this hypothetical match.

Chapters Follow Fast

From that time the chapters followed fast: Chapter One—Society and the newspapers canvassed all the possibilities and finally pretty generally settled upon Princess Alexandrine Louise of .Denmark as the probable bride. Chapter Two—Copenhagen ported Prince Harald, father the girl, as denying there was any engagement or thought of one. Chapter Three — A further Copenhagen report denied that Prince Harald ever gave out such a statement. Chapter Four—Inquiries at usual. sources connected with Buckingham Palace met with silence and plenty of it. Chapter Five—Lloyd's underwrit-

re-

ers (famous insurance brokers who will ‘ordinarily write a policy on anything) have so far refused to quote insurance rates against the possibility of the King marrying before his corohation next May. Applicants are mainly pottery and medal manufacturers, who are getting ready to grind out tons of coronation souvenirs. Two portraits, instead of one, would be necessary in case the married before next May. Applicants want to insure against loss if they turn out oneportrait souvenirs. Chapter Six—Doubt cast upon marriage story because the man most concerned has not been seen about with Princess Alexandrine or any other marriageable girl; and because she has not been over in England. Chapter Seven—Despite all this, English papers, apropos of nothing at all and without mentioning anything about the wedding rumors, frequently print some new picture .of Princess Alexandrine. It is a way they have when they think they have a sure tip on an impending royal event. If Edward VIII, who is now 42, does decide to get married, he will be one of the few heads of state in modern times to have waited that long. One of the noted examples was that of President Grover Cleveland. He went to the White House for his
