The union accepted reductions dur-
ing the depression totaling about 30
per cent. Last year, a four week’s strike
brought a restoration of 10 per cent of
the old cut. The recent settlement
brought a wage boost of 7% per cent
and vast improvements in shop condi-
tions.

We would like to see an all-day Sunday closing law
for grocery stores, fruit stands and meat markets. A
state law authorizing incorporated cities to regulate their
Sunday closing of various lines of business and a city
ordinance with public sentiment behind its enforcement
should accomplish a satisfactory solution of this problem.

THE FEATHERHEADS
The demand made by the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor in its report to the 1937 convention of the fed-
eration at Denver, Colo., that the social security act be amended to
provide protection against age and unemployment hazards for “agri-
cultural workers” and “all employes in workshops, mills, mines and
factories” should and undoubtedly will be approved by all members
of congress and progressive citizens generally.
It is axiomatic that a government established to “promote the
general welfare” cannot permanently bar millions of citizens from
the benefits of social security legislation. But, strangely enough, that
is exactly what the present social security act does.
'This injustice is clearly indicated in the executive council’s an-
alysis of the unemployment compensation section of the act.
Quite properly, the act, according to the executive council,
specifically declares that unemployment compensation shall not be
denied to otherwise eligible employes for refusing to accept employ-
ment for the following reasons:
If the position offered is vacant due directly to a strike, lockout,
or other labor dispute ; if the wages, hours, or other conditions of
the work offered are substantially less favorable to the individual
than those prevailing for similar work in the locality; if as a condi-
tion of being employed the individual would be required to join a
company union or to resign from or refrain from joining any bona
fide labor organization.
But the executive council points out that practically half of our
forty-eight million working men and women are not only not “other-
wise eligible” for unemployment compensation but are specifically
barred from this benefit by the terms of the act itself.
With regard to the millions of workers suffering this unwar-
ranted legislative discrimination the executive council, under the
significant heading “Without Benefit,” says:
When unemployment compensation laws become generally ef-
fective this coming year and the following one, wage earners will be
keenly conscious of the shortcomings and limitations of the social
security act. Of the 48 millions of gainfully employed workers in
the United States about 24 millions will not have benefits; agricul-
tural workers, self-employed persons, workers with small firms em-
ploying less than eight, or less than four, etc., in some state; those
in domestic service; government employes; employes of charitable
institutions; season industries; officers and members of crews of
vessels; casual labor. Workers in insured industries who have ac-
quired rights in one state but who find work in another state and
move will have to acquire rights in the new state. If unemployment
is due to. sickness or physical disability, the worker though doubly
unfortunate has no compensation for his enforced idleness. Also,
workers in insured industries may be deprived of economic security
by a leasing or contracting by which some companies hope to re-
lieve themselves of financial obligations.
It is to correct this injustice that the Council urged the conven-
tion of the American Federation of Labor to mobilized the organized
labor movement to persuade congress to extend the benefits of un-
employmeat compensation not only to “agricultural workers” but
also to “all employes in workshops, mills, mines and factories.”
This reasonable extension would undoubtedly provide unem-
ployment compensation for a large portion of the 24 millions of
workers now excluded from protection against unemployment.
The recommendation of the executive council should be incor-
porated in one of the first must bills for the next session of congress.
