DEMAND IMMEDIATE ACTION.

DEMAND IMMEDIATE ACTION.
What are we doing or planning for
our returning fighters?
What conditions will confront them
in the industries when they go back
to their old places of abode and en-
ployment? ?
Millions of these American soldiers
and sailors will be discharged within
the next few months.
In the hands of these men and their
co-workers in the varied industries
will rest the destiny of America
The conditions these men find will
determine the fate of a nation 1t is
not too much to say their action will
be prompt and conclusive and that
it will be difficult to swerve them
from their purpose once they decide
upon action of any sort.
Steps must Immediately be taken to
see that the returning men do not
find widespread disemployment wage
cutting, peace-time- -profiteering, and
exploitation of children and women in

Steps must be taken that will guar
antee for the returning soldier en-
ployment under conditions that will
not be a reversion from the high stan
dard demanded by free Americans.
Wages and hours and surrounding
conditions must be satisfactory.
To quote from the A. F. of L. re-
construction program;
"The returned citizen soldier or
sailor should not be forced by the
bitter necessity Of securing food and
clothing to place himself at a disad-
vantage when seeking employment" ;"
The only amendment to strengthen

word MUST.

Last week a committee of soldiers

to address the Joint Temperance Com
mittee Of the General Assembly 1t
was their desire to present arguments
against action by the Legislature
which would make laws governing the
enforcement of the prohibition amend

UNEMPLOYMENT CURE.

- Ea Ea Va Pa
UNEMPLOYMENT CURE.
Speaking of the unemployment sit
uation, A. M. Simons, of the Ameri-
can Alliance for Labor and Democracy
says:
The American Federation of Labor
is not enthusiastic about public work
as panacea for unemployment. Such
emergency measures, however, nee
essary, are but surgical operations
for the forcible removal with taxa
ton knife of degenerate fatty profits
from present owners for distribution
among the working cells of the social
body
The Federation rightly terms such
an operation, AN expedient at the
best"
Organized labor looks deeper. 1t
plans for tic future. 1t demands
wages hien enough to enable wage
earners to become market for their
products.
Unemployment is due to under
consumption" says the remarkably
comprehensive and constructive re
construction program just issued by
the Federation. "Underconsumptior
is caused by low or insufficient
wages"
A cure demands "a wage which
will enable the worker and his family
to live in health and comfort, provide
competency for illness and old age
and afford to all the opportunity Of
cultivating the best that is within
mankind"
Shorter hours of labor. another de-
mand of the same program, will trans.
mute hurtful continuous idleness into
regular healthful leisure.
Abolition of child labor under six
teen years of age, with but twenty
hours per week permitted until eigh
teen is advocated. The unemploy
ment of children in profit-yielding la
Dor means educational opportunity foi
the young and industrial opportunit!
for the adult.
Organized labor would not turn dis
charged soldiers and sailors out t,
struggle for jobs and to starve i
they fail to find the jobs Instead
this program proposes that 9TH,
monthly salary previously paid shoulc
be continued for a period not to exceed
twelve months if employment is no
secured within that period"
The program of public works pro
posed by the Federation does not con
fine itself to roads and unproductiv'
public buildings. 1t asks that tn,
enormous water powers now in tn,
possession of the government be de
veloped.
These are a few OF the measure.
in a rounded harmonious program
that apply to the unemployed prob
lem. There is nothing utopian reac
tionary or catastrophe about it.
i 1t aims at curing not relieving un
employment 1t offers systematic
and prophylactic treatment, not loca
applications.
Therefore these measures are no
so much specific remedies offered fol
unemployment as part of a chart Of
the course society must and viii take
to avoid reaction and the revolution
that follows reaction
