A JUDGE SPEAKS HIS MIND

A New Jersey federal Judge has
decided that the eighteenth amend
ment is unconstitutional. He says, in
effect, that he doesn't know what the
higher courts will think about his de-
cision, but that he has at any rate
given them something to think about.
AS matter of fact the decision, call
ing into question the whole method of
amending the constitution, has given
US all something to think about. 1t
seems that this Judge had something
in his head besides traditions and
bone. Whether he is right or wrong
he is refreshing kind of Judge. On
top of all that, maybe he is right
And what then?

A. F. OF L. is SPOKESMAN
FOR WORKERS

The A. F. Of L. is spokesman for
the nations wage earners. !. No other
organization has even questioned its
supremacy. 1t has supplied the lead
ership, the driving force, the mill
fancy, in every advance workers have
made the last SO years.
We have better nation because
the A. F. of L. has lived. In great
crises this is acknowledged by our
opponents and critics. They then con-
cede that the A. F. of L. is spokes-
man for American wage earners.
But in normal times we must not
enlarge our intelligence and capacity
by urging appointment of an A. F. of
L. member to a high office that was
created through the energy of the
A. F. of L., and for the purpose of
benefting the workers of our land.
The A. F. of L. is not an imitation
trade union. 1t is not a fraterna
organization. 1t is not favored by
those who grandiloquently talk OF
equality for all persons to secure gov.
ernment position, and who would ere.
ate the-impression that the A. F. OF
L. is merely interested in securing
a job for some trade unionist.
This element charges President
Green with attempting to "force" ar
A. F. of l.. member as secretary OF
labor.
If by force" is meant reasons why
an A. F. of L. member should hold
this position, President Green will
have to plead guilty.
This "force"-this reasoning
ignored by persons who infer that
President Green has made threats
but who accept without question the
secret and honey-worded commands
privilege.
In another column of this issue will
be found a statement of President
Green on the appointment of William
N. Doak by President Hoover as sec.
retary of labor, which the Press urges
every reader of the Press to turn t6
and read.

THE UNION is ALSO HUMAN

Five union bricklayers were killed
a few days ago when scaffold col
lapsed at the tenth floor. 1t was one
of the recurring tragedies of industry
Because these men were union
members mortuary benefit checks
went Immediately to the beneaved
families. Moreover, the international
union of which they were members
dispatched Representatives to see to
it that all Immediate needs We're
cared for.
There were helping hands, sympa-
thetic hands, for these bereaved fam
lilies. Had the victims of the acci-
dent been non-union workers there
would have been no organization to
step in at once with help and SYM
pathy. 1t would have been just a
case of five deaths and five grief-torn
families.
The union is great human insti-
tuition, as we'll as a great economic
organization. No wage Garner has any
business being anywhere except in the
union of his trade or calling.

A NOTABLE LABOR
ACHIEVEMENT

Read elsewhere in this issue of the
Press the account of the adoption OF
the 40-hour week by two great manu-
featuring companies, in agreement
with the United Garment Workers of
America.
Surely this is one of the best pieces
of news that has come to our columns
in long time. What a striking con-
trast there is between the progress
i've, enlightened attitude taken by
these manufacturers and that taken
by Harry F. Fitzgerald, the baron
mill owner of Danville, Va!
And, how much better off are the
workers in these organized factories,
with good wages, good conditions and
a 40-hour work week, with well-led,
staunch union helping them to smooth
over rough spots along the way.
Congratulations are due the United
Garment, Workers of America and to
the officers of that organization-and
congratulations are due to the work
ers who have the good judgment to
organize under its banner.
