uD ALANCED abundance Is the
ID keynote sounded in the program
offered by Secretary OF Agriculture
Wallace In his annual report. Con
vinced that agriculture should bes
brought under permanent federal con-
troll. he will ask congress for drastic
new legislation. This will include broad
amendments to the AAA. great extern
sion OF the grain futures act and pas
sage of the Tugwell food and drugs
bill. While he insists on continuance
of crop control, Mr.. Wallace advises
against falling into the pit Of scare
ity economics: nevertheless, he de-
tends the working of the AAA reduc-
ton schemes to date.
He sees ''the end Of our period OF
emergency adjustments, OF drastic re-
duction In farm output coming into
view Hereafter. the task may In
clude adjustment of production to a
rising demand, he says. To this end, as

failure In the future, the secretary de-
velops his proposal for IAN ever nor

crop failure would be maintained.
These. he believes, should remain In
the control of the farmers, through
storage and government loan arrange
ments, coupled with an obligation to
participate In continued crop ADJUST

crop adjustments, farmers would have

Unions Victimized
By Calcasieu Paper Co.

Elizabeth, La.-Labor officials fa-
miliar with the situation charge that
the management of the Calcasieu
Paper Company here has pursued a
policy of victimizing trade unions by
discharging employees who joined a
union affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. They claim
that the company allowed the fore
men to canvass from house to house
for membership in company union
and emphasize the fact that none of
the company union employees were re-
lieved of their jobs.
Union officials also point out that
the management discharged qualified
union workers for alleged incompe-
tency and other unwarranted reasons
and even resorted to reclassifcation
of the employees in an attempt to
evade the provisions of the national
industrial recovery act

ALL WORKERS SHOULD
ENROLL IN UNIONS

The 1888 convention of the Ameri-
lean Federation of Labor emphasized
the necessity of 10 per cent organiza-
tion of working men and women in
bona fide unions in order to equip
themselves with the machinery neces-
sary to secure their full rights under
the codes of fair competition estab-
lished by authority of the national in
dustrial recovery act.
The Importance of the conventions s
admonition is illustrated every day in
Washington in the hearings held by
the recovery administration on the
various codes, as we'll as in the pro-
cedure before and after the hearings.
The codes are practically all drawn
up by organizations of employers,
called trade associations, without con-
sultation with the employees, organiz-
ed or unorganized, despite the fact
that the labor sections affect very vi
tally the welfare of all the workers.
In actual day to day practice it is
a truism evident to all serious mind
ed persons that the labor sections of
the codes receive much more consider

months Of observation, that the labor

WIPE OUT THE SLUMS

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt recent
ly told conference on public hous-
ing that slum clearance and decent
low-cost housing will become real
ity only when property owners who
exploit their fellow human beings are
made to feel they are bad citizens.
Broadly speaking, Mrs. Roosevelt
is right but it will take lot of pub
hc opinion to make exploiting land
lords reform There has been some
public opinion against slum conditions
for a long time, but it has not been
strong enough to be effective. Laws
aimed at slum conditions will help,
though to get real results it is nee
essary that public sentiment strongly
back them.
Labor and other forces opposed to
slums must fight for effective laws
aimed at the evil and must also keep
up a determined campaign to make
the public see that slums endanger the
nation, that they are breeders of
crime, vice, disease and death, and
that they have absolutely no place in
civilized society.

justified hopes for achievements in
the near future. And, most important
of all is the fact that the wage Garner
finds himself with steadier work at
better pay-and is in need of more
and better housing.
During depression there was min
mum of new residential building.
Doubling up of families in small
homes was common. Thousands OF
homes were allowed to fall in disre-
pair, because of lack of funds, and
depression has been abnormallly
high. In addition, population changes
fires, tornadoes, floods and other ele-
ments have destroyed multitudes OF
homes or rendered them useless.
Any national movement starts
slowly, but accelerates with amazing
speed. That will be true of new con-
struction. The builders and material
makers will be called upon to meet
increased demand. Labor and tech
nical supervision may be at prem
ium. Price rises are unavoidable. The
moral is do your building and repair
ing now.

nance would be dangerous beyond
calcuation. Sincerely has to be taken
for granted

iam--the enthusiasm of long-held COM
plainants at last privileged to say
it out in public, Johnson took it and
asked for more and enforced back,
not always any too convincingly.
Weok spots showed up, as every
one, including johnson, knew they
would.
Now, presumably, NRA will take
all the complaints home, sift them
find out which ones can be used in
making NRA better agency for
national recovery.
Perhaps these were the main COM
plants: NRA hasn't cut hours
enough to re-employ; it hasn't raised
wages enough to create buying pow
er; it has kept labor off code author
tiles; it has strengthened the big fel-
lows and made the weak ones weaker
by comparison; it has let the con-
sumer in for sitter prices, without
compensating advantages.
Quite bill Of particulars. Quite
BILL AS to results, much will depend
upon how much fact was piled up
by the complainants.
There will be some genuine char
ges of course. But more than
above and beyond that, was the sheer
courage of the thing, the frank and
unafraid declaration that here is a
thing that belongs to the people and
consequently they have right to
come up front and say what's on
their mind about it.
Somehow the talk of dictatorship
seems weak after such an amazing
spectacle of the strength and char
acter of democracy. Where is there
another government that could have
lived through two such days? You

ecutives in 1929 and succeeding years
have made good many people see
a light.
Of course trade unionists have been
pointing out for years the viciousness
of big corporation policy in the
"boom" years-how the piling up of
big surpluses contributed to the un-
balance between production and con-
sumption, and made the depression
inevitable-but it remained for the
senate revelations to bring pointed
comment from even conservative
sources. Such was the comment of
the conservative Evening Star of
Washington, D. c., which said:
The country would have been far
better off if these huge surpluses had
not been permitted to roll up and
then to be used to stimulate the
gambling fever of the people. The
very fact that such surpluses were
developed shows that there was a
failure to ditribute profits made in
the industries to labor and the capi-
tai which made these industries pos
sible

LABOR COMES FIRST

The three vitally important factors
in industrial production are labor,
management and capital. No one of
these standing alone can function.
Labor is first in Importance, is nu-
merically largest, and deserves first
consideration. Capital could not even
commence, and management could
not get to first base, without labor.
Capital sits around and does nothing
until the hard work and good think
ing is done.
Without labor there could be no
constructive industrial enterprise.
But capital gets the cream, manage
ment a little of the fat, and labor
gets the SKINNED milk and the bones.
Labor through collective bargain
ing in our trade unions proposes to
get fair portion of the joint efforts
of labor, capital, and management.
conceding always to management and
capital its just and fair portions. Such
an arrangement will end this depres-
sion, prevent others, and bring about
stabilized prosperity, and happier
and better life for all. Try it; it can't
be any worse than the old discarded
deal.-Cigar Makers Journal.

United States unless and until a

great impetus. Various proposals now
