THE CHRISTMAS SHIP
rs A SHIP OF HEALTH

/ saw ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea,
1.-THE captain is merry wight
As merry as can be-
And every wind that moved the ship
Brought health to you and me.
Her sails were fiecked with sun
shine,
A pennant broad she flew,
(The steersman keeps her on her
course
With hand both firm and true)
Her hold was stored with Christmas
Seals
For me and exc for you.
And every Seal unloaded
From the barque of Better Health
(For you must do your part, you
know,
To spread aboard her wealthy
Removes child from danger
OF disease that goes by stealth.
So take the Seals-a penny each
The store the Coed Ship brings,
(And hark the happy melody
That healthy childhood sings)
For every cent you use this way
Adds strength to Loves own
wings.
PAUL MASON.

international relations were adjust
ed to new point of view in the
New Orleans convention. There WAS
no deviation from the established
principle of cooperation with all
bona fide labor movements and no
wavering in labor's faith in a great
Pan-American movement, but new
thoughts and one major new policy
were injected. The decision to favor
application of the quota law to all
nations was a new decision, though
it has for at least two years been in
the making. In addition to this there
was clear, though friendly and So
licitous, note of warning to other la
Dor movements to beware-at least
to measure fully-the tendency to-
ward governmental control of labor's
destinies. Read here the principal
portions of the conventions declara-
tions on international labor relations:
Unloading the Burdens of Past
Expressions
"The wage earners of Central and
South America have been and are now
struggling under social and economic
conditions born of centuries of OPP
preston and repression with no
rights, liberties or freedom of action
obtained or granted them. Their op-
portunities to obtain an education and
gain knowledge were limited. Organ
ization in trade unions was and is
limited and in many cases denied. I'M
der these conditions wages were and
are miserably small and hours cor
respondingly long and burdensome.
"The American Federation of La
Dor found under these circumstances
a fertile field to lend its assistance
and helpfulness in organizing these
workers into trade unions. Helpful
efforts were first directed to organ
ize local unions and national and in
ternational unions in the various
countries in Pan-America Ten
years ago the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor was formed. Rapid
improvement has since that time tax
en- place in the lives of the wage
earners. Stronger and better man
hood and correspondingly better So
cial and living conditions have re-
suited Greater justice, freedom and

QUOTA LAW
Favored For Mexican Labor
BY A. f. of L. Session

New Orleans - Organized labor
will ask congress to place Mexican
and other South American countries
under the quota clause of the immi-
grafton law The action was unani-
mously approved by the A. f. of L..
convention.
These countries are now not in
cluded in the quota law. Last year
A. f. of l.. and Mexican Federation
of Labor representatives entered into
an agreement for the regulation of
immigration between the two coun-
tries.
The A. f. of l. executive council
reported to the convention that the
agreement has not been made effec-
tive, despite the efforts of both
partise.
THE assassination of President
Oregon" the council reported, "has
cen attended by such changes in the
administration OF the Mexican gov
ernemtn that in our opinion it is inn
possible to carry out the purposes of
the voluntary agreement. We, there
fore, recommend that the A. f. of l..
indorse an amendment to the immi-
grafton law to make quota provisions
applicable to Mexico. Central and
South America"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-12-14

equality are taking the place of in
dustrial and protective serfdom, all
of which has resulted in the extension
to and covering all lines of produc-
ton, trade. and commerce, finance and
the social, material and political well
fare of the people in general.
"The thoughts herein expressed
are spoken in friendly fraternal
spirit with the hope that our longer
and fuller experience may be of some
value to our fellow workers in Cen
tral and South America in advancing
their economic, social and material
well being. We recognize that these
people have their own problems bas-
ed upon environment, climate and
past traditions with which they are
in a position to Judge for themselves
what position to Judge for them
selves what should be done and how
best to do it,"
Friendly Hand to Mexico; Also
Note of Warning
"In addition to that part of our re-
port which is direct comment upon
the report Of the executive council
we deem it in harmony with the spirit
of that report to point out the fact
that our efforts TO reach understand
ing with the labor movements OF
Latin-American nations have been OF
untold value to them and to US. Our
support and friendship have given en-
couragement to men who were seek
ing a way to lift themselves up from
conditions often amsrnnting to serf-
dom, to fight their way out of ignor-
ance and oppression and to place de
mocracy in the halls of government
as we'll as in the hearts of people.
Particularly have we found oppor
tunity to give our friendship and en-
couragement to our brothers just ovel
the Mexican border We gave then
our hand of fellowship, our counse
and our moral support when they
were struggling to overthrow politi
cal dictatorship.
1T is our belief that we can fit
tingly express our faith in the ulti
mate success of true trade union ac
ton whether in Mexico, or any Other
country, that we can pin our faith il
the triumph of trade union principles

ers can not plunge labor into bondage
where there is solidarity in trade
unionism.
1--WE send to our brothers, regard
less of where located. our encourage
ment and our sincere admiration for
the manner in which they have held
to the principles of the true trade
union movement We call upon them
to stand fast, to stand together, to
continue their faith in their unions
and to never give way in their faith
n freedom, justice and democracy.
1--WE venture the assertion that any
people, regardless of where located,
who without protest permit the gov
ernment in which labor is poorly rep
resented to regulate wages, hours and
working conditions, are face to face
with unsound economic practice and
procedure"
Not Too Many Hands Across
the Border"
"Under the caption, Mexico and
immigration the report of the ex-
ecutive council states that, due to
changes in the administration of the
Mexican government, it is impossible
to carry out the purposes OF the vol
untary agreement as entered into by
| the representatives of the Mexican
Federation of Labor and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to regulate
migration of persons between the two
countries and that for this reason,
every effort having been made to
carry out the agreement in good
| faith. it is now recommended that the
dorse an amendment to the immigra-
| tion law to make quota provisions ap-
ply to MeXiao, Central and South
America 1t is clear that the Mexi-
can Federation of Labor though act
| ing in the utmost good faith, has been
and is unable to proceed in accord
with the voluntary agreement. This
is due to circumstances beyond the
control of the Mexican Federation of
Labor, and for which it is in no way
responsible. The committee recon-
mends that the recommendation of
the executive council be approved and
/ the report concurred in" And it
was so ordered.
Autonomy Remains the Issue
