The March Gs Labor No 3
Labor Fights Its Way,
Foot by Foot, Over Foe
Barriers, to “‘Place
In Sun”
This is the third of a series.
of six stories on “The March
~ of Labor,” telling of the rapid
gains made by the workers un
der NRA, the problems which
beset labor in this new era,
and a brief history of the labor
movement in the U. S.
BY WILLIS THORNTON
(NEA Staff Correspondent)
‘WASHINGTON — The gradual
climb of labor is one of the Inspir
ing phases of American history. It
is like a mighty caravan entering
the foothills of 2 mountain range,
moving steadily forward, descend
ing through valleys, but always
emerging at higher levels on the
other side.
In the pre-Revolutionary era, the
workman wore buckskin breeches
heavy shoes with brass buckles,
and a greased leather apron. His
wages were two shillings a day (50
cents) and if he ever fell into debt
on those wages, prison loomed.
After the Revolution, the rise ot
industry brought wages up to a
dollar a day. But in the 1840’s
another valley had to be traversed.
In the new factories that were
mushrooming up, women worked
15 hours a day to earn 75 cents a
week - stitching shirts, )
The universal working day was
“from sun to sun,” and only a very
few highly skilled workers had at
tained the 10-hgur day.
In 1846 a report on the textfe
mills at Lowell, Mass., showed that
women worked 13 hours a day iu
summer, and from dawn to dusk in
winter.
The governmen; led the way out
In 1840, President Martin Van Bur
en established the 10-hour day in
the government service.
Real agitation for the eight-hour
day did not begin until after the
Civil 'War. In 1868 the govern
ment again led the way with an
eight-hour day for government
work, a plan which, however, was
not fully enforced until much later,
and then only after persistent
agitation.
Most of this was on the part of
the A. F. of L, whose rallying-cry
was *“the eight-hour day,” just as
now it is “the six-hour day and
the five-day week.”
The eight-hour day fight was
brought to a crisis in the depres
silon of 1893-94, when 6,000,000
workers were idle. The Worlg War
brought it to full fruition. and the
steel industry, always backward In
labor progress, did not eome to 1
until well afte, the war.
Child labor, for years a blot on
the American labor scene, first
drew determined oposition in 1881,
when it was shown that children
of six and seven years were strip
ping tobacco from dawn until late
at night.
dompers to Fore
1t was Samuel Gompers’ fight
against tenemen; cigar-making in
this era which helped bring him
out as a national leader, and whicn
started the fight on child Ilabor
which was not to succeed until the
NRA in 1933 abolished it tempor
arily. '
The child labor amendment has
yet to pass the states in final form
and become part of the constitu
tion.
The legal status of labor and la
bor organizations is again a story
of a long uphill struggle, but a
struggle that has won greater ana
greater rights all the time. This
history is written in & sertes of
famous cases,
Tirst of these is the Buck Stove
case. This St. Louis firm had la
bor trouble and was made the vie
tim of a national boycott by the A
¥. of L. The company, nearing
ruin, secured an injunction to pre
vent the labor organization from
circulating its “unfair list.”

injunction, Frank Morrison, John

No injunctions are to be grunt‘

There is still confusion on the in

courts.
The promise of the early years
of the Wilson .administration was
in large part borne out by the
World War. In 1933 a Secretary of
Labor took his place at the cabinet
table as on® of the president's ad
visers. Nearly all organized labor,
except that dominated by Social
ist and I. W. W. organizations
supported the war splendidly.
