ORGANIZED [ABOR
]
Labor Day Brings Toll of
Cains, Probtem Discus
sions, and Play.
WASHIGNTON —(®#)—Organized
labor stopped work today to count
its gains and discuss its problems.
At Labor Day rallies throughout
the country, union workingmen
heard their leaders applaud en
actment of the Wagner labor dis
putes law, the Guffey bituminous
coal stabilization act, railroad pen
sion measures and the socjal se
curity program.
President Roosevelt and congress
were praised by some speakers.
In an address at Fairmont, W, Va,,
vesterday, John L. Lewis, presi
dent of the United Mine Workers
and a vice-president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, said the
'Roosevelt administration’s record
;was so good that “organized labor
'in the contest to come has no
\(‘hoioo but to support the Presi
dent.”
. Labor’s demand for a shorter
Ework week was again put forward
today with the federation's esti
' mate that 11,000,000 workers still
kare unemployed.
Labors Demands
“Labor demands a five day week,
a six hour day and a wage that
will enable a man and his family
to live in reasonable comfort,” said
Frank Morrison, A.F. of L., sec
retary, in his Labor day message.
Among labor’s’ problems were
listed probable court tests of all
the labor legislation enacted by
the just-adjourned congress. Lead
ers also pondered what success
they would have at the next ses
sion with proposed legislation to
esestablish NRA codes and to
write the 30-hour week into law
without a constitutional amend
ment.
Labor leaders were scattered
over the country to make their
speeches. Willlam Green, Federa
tion president, was at Canton, O,
and Morrison at Madison, Wis.
Secretary Perkins planned to dis
cuss the social security program
in a radio speech to be broadcast
from Boston on a coast-to-coast
hook-up.

Kidnaping Theory Held By Investigators
COLORADO SPRINGS.—(#)—
The strange disappearance of cap

drive out these un-American
