RULES COMPETITION NO, EXCUSE
"A court of equity will not lend its aid to protect a business
.Which- can survive only by oppressing its workers."
These words, part of a decision by Judge Harry Fisher
of Chicago in a case arising from a dispute between a gar
ment factory ,and its workers, sum up one of the most im
portant phases of the recovery campaign about as well as
any one sentence could. It's worth looking for a moment at
.their background. : ,
. i The workers in th'is Chicago plant were out on strike.
, Their weekly wages were somewhere between ,$5 and ?9
Ijelpw the minimum' fixed by the NRA. Their hours of work
were said to be from 55 to 60 hours a week. The factory
owners, seeking an injunction to stop the strikers from
picketing, explained that keen competition forced them to
pay wages and impose long hours.
.,) But , the .judge, after laying down, the principle quoted
above, denied the plea for an injunction, ordered NRA hours
and wage scales to be installed at once, and ruled that the
company must comply with any code that may be adopted
for the garment industry. , ,, . , ,,.
,lv Now there is more in this than just the settlement of
another strike. Judge Fisher's blunt statement expresses a
truth' that ought to have boon self-evident a long time ago,
but which has seldom previously won. approval from the
bench. The pressure of competition is the most frequently
used of,,)l excuses for, unsatisfactory working conditions,.
From1, lumber camps to textile mills, from sugar beet fields
to coal towns, it has been cited oyer and over again when
workers have protested intolerable conditions. Sometimes,
it has. been just an alibi and sometimes it has "been justified
by facts. Now, at last, it gets judicially knocked on the head;

Proud an

our
d glad
part
TTITH Presiclent Roosevelt's acceptance of tho
i NRA Automobile Code, Chevrolet, the world's
largest builder of motor cars officially begins
operations in accordance with the administration's re
covery program.
Although the official code was signed only a few days ago
it will be of interest to Chevrolet's many friends to learn
that the Chevrolet Motor Company started to carry out
the spirit of today's recovery program over three years ago!
At that time, we put into operation a "share-the-work"
plan, whereby our workmen cooperated in spreading the
work to give more men jobs. By means of this plan, as
well as by regulating hours of work per week to meet retail
demand, and by building up parts stocks in lean seasons, it
was possible to carry 33,000 men on ourpayroll through the
depression. For eleven months of each year since 1929, we
havekeptouremploymcntwithinlOpcrccntofthisaverage.
We arc justly proud of that record. We arc also proud to say
that Chevrolet workmen did not, at any time during the
depression, become aburden on public welfare departments.
On August 1st of this year, Chevrolet announced a blanket
wage increase as well as the adoption of a 73-hour, 5-day
week and the employment of 12,000 additional men. This
wage increase was the second in the last 4 months, Chev
rolet having been among the first, to put a blanket wage
increase into effect.
We feel that the President's recovery program deserves the
whole-hearted support of every citizen and manufacturer
in America. It is a bold, swift, courageous plan to start the
ball rolling toward economic recovery. Its sincerity is un
questioned. Its objectives are admirable. And the direct,
forceful steps the President and Ins associates are taking to
. make it a success, should stir the pride and admiration of
every American. .
t We are proud and glad to do our part. And we are deeply
grateful to the American people for the patronage that has
enabled us to anticipate tho present recovery program and
to play our part today. After all, the immense number of
men employed by Chevrolet is a direct result of the con
tinued preference America has shown for Chevrolet
