BOX 218 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94042-0218 http://www.slp.org/nyln.htm Dave Beck: Labor Merchant The Case History of a Labor Leader By Eric Hass ERIC HASS (1905–1980) 1. A Labor Merchandising Concern “Labor organization is a business; like any other business, it is run primarily to produce a living for those who make it their vocation.” —Wall Street Journal, March 9, 1939. To start a business, the first thing you must have is capital. If it is a factory, you need capital for machinery, plant space and raw material. If it is a mine, you need capital for mining equipment. If it is a store, you need capital for merchandise and rent. And, if it is any of these, or any other kind of business you can name—except one—you must have capital to lay out for labor as well as for other things. The lone exception is a “union” business. A labor leader can go into the “union”—labor-merchandising—business with very little. He gets his stock-in- trade—workingmen and workingwomen, the human embodiment of labor power—free, gratis and for nothing. If things go right, and enough employers are lined up and contracts signed, thereby giving the labor leader control of jobs, the money rolls in.

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2014 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus COMPTROLLER OF THE TREASURY OF MARYLAND v. WYNNE ET UX. CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 13–485. Argued November 12, 2014—Decided May 18, 2015 Maryland’s personal income tax on state residents consists of a “state” income tax, Md. Tax-Gen. Code Ann. §10–105(a), and a “county” in- come tax, §§10–103, 10–106. Residents who pay income tax to anoth- er jurisdiction for income earned in that other jurisdiction are al- lowed a credit against the “state” tax but not the “county” tax. §10– 703. Nonresidents who earn income from sources within Maryland must pay the “state” income tax, §§10–105(d), 10–210, and nonresi- dents not subject to the county tax must pay a “special nonresident tax” in lieu of the “county” tax, §10–106.1. Respondents, Maryland residents, earned pass-through income from a Subchapter S corporation that earned income in several States. Respondents claimed an income tax credit on their 2006 Maryland income tax return for taxes paid to other States. The Mary- land State Comptroller of the Treasury, petitioner here, allowed re- spondents a credit against their “state” income tax but not against their “county” income tax and assessed a tax deficiency.

  • A Brief Introduction to the Saga of the Labor Movement for Emerging Militants
    A Brief Introduction to the Saga of the Labor Movement for Emerging Militants This piece is the text of a talk given to the Democratic Socialists of America Lower Manhattan Branch’s Political Education Working Group on December 4, 2019, serving as introduction to “Bernie and Labor” part of its series “Why Bernie?” The picture on the right represents the Haymarket Riot, Chicago, May 4, 1886, when police attacked a labor demonstration demanding the eight-hour day and protesting the May 1 disruption of an earlier protest march. The massacre was one of many attacks by police against labor initiatives. I have ten minutes to present the briefest of introductions on some few salient points pertaining to a history of workers’ struggles in the U.S. Good luck to that! Offering a systemic view of the nearly 200 years of domestic labor struggles, triumphs, tragedies and legacies in just one sixth of an hour is akin to tackling the briefest histories of the Roman Conquests, resurrection in the fractured Holy Roman Empire and its homicidal if not its farcical reiteration in the Nazi Thousand Year Reich that mercifully lasted just 12 years. But like a centurion, I shall soldier on. What follows are some basic if necessarily sketchy assumptions. First, we need to understand that most if not all of labor’s key breakthroughs, including the huge industrial union upsurges that followed immediately after World War I and then repeated so magnificently in the 1930s, were not primarily the product of either progressive politicians such as FDR and his brain trust or even talented, foresighted labor leaders like John L.

Secretary-Treasurer’s Message HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO ALL LOCAL 174 MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES Sisters and Brothers: As we look back and celebrate the first 100 years of our great Local Union, we must take the opportunity to acknow- ledge and congratulate those who came before us. Their struggles provided many of the ben- efits we have today. Much of what we take for granted on a daily basis was secured through real blood, sweat and tears. We often overlook the years of struggle our forefathers endured to lay the foundation for many of the best contracts in the Country. Seattle was at the forefront of the Labor Movement when Teamsters Lo- cal 174 was chartered one hundred years ago. It was during those early years when our background of mili- RICK HICKS tancy was born and we have never forgotten our roots. The Local’s members have always been up to the task and we have only gotten stronger as time passes on. Teamsters Local 174 has not only witnessed, but partici- pated in many of the Labor victories over the last Century. Without the sacrifices made by our predecessors, we would still be working seven days a week and twenty hours a day.

Hoffa Ken Hall General President General Secretary-Treasurer Convention Call letter 1920 4 Teamsters Convention 2021 A CALL TO CONVENTION he Call to the Convention has always generated excitement – and rightly so. Not only is it an opportunity to see friends and fellow delegates from around the country, it’s a chance to discuss Timportant issues facing the Union and labor in general. The Convention’s most anticipated event is the nomination of candidates for International office as part of the five-year election cycle. The constitution of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters makes the role of the Convention very clear. It states that: “The International Convention shall be the supreme governing authority of the Inter- national Union and shall have the plenary power to regulate and direct the policies, affairs, and organi- zation of the International Union.” In the early days, the union’s Conventions and elections were held every year. It was thought that, as a young Union founded in 1903, leaders and delegates needed to meet on a frequent basis to guide the union’s path and build a strong foundation. By 1908, the leadership felt the union was steady enough on its feet to meet every two years instead of annually.

    - #32AB 1. Tape 1 (45) - Side 1 Q: Maybe we can start by you telling me where and when you were born, how you came to Seattle. A: February 5, 1896, in Warsaw, Indiana. I came to Seattle in 1902, when I was six years old. My folks () in Spokane, until I came to the University in 1915. Q: What did your folks do? A: My father and mother were both lawyers. My mother was the first woman to take the bar in Indiana. That was a remarkable exception. It wasn't schooling that they required, it's just take an examination, and my father, being a lawyer, helped her do it, and so on, and she never practiced law, as a matter of fact, but anyway, she had that distinction. Being the first woman in the bar in Indiana, and she became quite a politician, as a matter of fact. She was the first national committee woman, democratic committee woman, of this state. I got my political persuasion from the fact that my mother was very dominant in politics. She toured the state with Franklin D. Roosevelt when he was running for Vice­ President with Jimmy Cox in 1920. And on a train tour, to Washington. So, as I say, I'm a democrat, a moderate democrat, not a wild-eyed liberal. But a moderate democrate, Jimmy Carter's ( ) althouth I had a ( ) and I voted for McGovern. But I did that because I wanted to vote against Nixon. So there you get a little idea.
