mind of many employers which re-
strains them from venturing into
fields. Of Industrial enterprise and from
stimulating and encouraging industrial
activity"
They complain" he said. about
so-called repressive legislation which
they allege interferes with the sale
of legitimate securities and the de-
velopment Of adequate credit. They
seem to lack confidence and faith in
the future and in the orderly processes
of economic determination.
This attitude Is based upon q false
concept and is construed as a refusal
on the part of those employers who
assume such q position to recognize
the passing of the old order and the
coming of the new.
1T is the opinion of labor that un-
less those who own and control pri-
vate enterprise adjust themselves to
and accept the facts incident to the
change which has taken place, the
people through their own Govern
ment will find way by which they
can require private industry to service
the needs of all the people"
Those who expected too much OF
the N. r. A. have been "disillusioned
and disappointed" Green said, but
those who placed their faith In 1t
"have been encouraged"
Good Features of Act.
THE sound fundamental principles
of the national recovery act will, in
my judgment, remain a fixture in our
industrial and social life and con-
trolling influence in all the Nations
economic policies and processes. The
prohibition of child labor, the aboli-
ton of unfair trade practices, the
supervision and control Of industry
and industrial processes in a scientific
and constructive way and the mainte-
nance of section IA will, in my opin-
ion, ever remain as part OF the
modernized economic policy Of the
Government.
"As the new economic policy un-
folds, it becomes clear and convincing
that those provisions OF the national
recovery act which will be retained
permanently will be supplemented by
the enactment of security and social
justice legislation. Social security in
its broadeSt term, which will provide
for security in old age, unemployment
insurance. perhaps health insurance
and job security, will constitute the
major features Of social justice legisla-
ton. Because of constitutional limita-
tions the ultimate success of such q
social justice program will depend
upon its enactment into law by the
Federal and State governments.
1.-THE American Federation CT Labor
is in full accord with this legislative
program"
Taking cognizance Of the difficulties
of the farmer, the federation chief
said American labor will cooperate
and assist agriculturists ito improve
their economic condition and to bring
about restoration of prices which will
guarantee them fair return for labor
performed and service rendered"
He reiterated that the American
Federation of Labor will ever remain
the implacable foe of Communism and
all other subverSive movements en-
gagged in the promotion of world revo-

our national income has gone into
speculation in securities on the Stock
Exchange and speculative investments
generally and not enough into the
pockets of those who bought the out
put of industries.
Two Changes Necessary.
Two things are needed-to increase
the amount of national income going
into wages and small salaries, so as to
maintain balance between production
and consumption that will use prod
uctS and services for higher standards
of living, and legal and economic in
stitutions that recognize and protect
the interests of producing workers
equally with the interests of owners of
these products and other property.
To accomplish these two purposes,
organization of wage earners in in
dependent unions is essential for the
promotion and protection of wage
earners' interests. In the present age,
under the national recovery act as
well as in all other periods, the union
is the beginning and continuing
agency responsible for wage earners
progress. It is most fitting, then, that
labor should be dedicated to plans
for the promotion and extension Of the
trade union movement.
Although the figures for Canada
are not available, the continuity Of
industrial organization from the Mex
ican border northward makes the
principles equally applicable. During
the past four years United States in
dustries have set up approximately
200 branches in Canada Canadians
have an established habit of invest
ing generously in United States un-
dertakings. The workers of the two
countries have long known they must

week. Manufacturers representatives
said the strikers would not be in
creased by more than 1000 over the
week end.
In Alabama, 12,5o0 to $4,000 workers
left their places in July. At two De-
oatur mills, employees voted against
striking.
At Albertsville and Guntersville
there were threats. Leaders of some
workers wishing to return to their
jobs found notices posted on their
doors threatening them If they did not
desist.
Five men were arrested at Boaz as
"trespassers" after the cotton mill here
opened on schedule despite demands
from strikers in other towns that it
be shut down.
Those arrested, police said, were
striking textile workers from the Sara
toga-V Victory mill at Albertville, closed
by the July II walkout.
A score of special guards, armed
with repeating rifles, shotguns and
pistols, were on duty at the mill as the
morning shift went to work.

The mills were engaged in produc-

said that with the completion Of sam

Green declared, in advocating the
30-hour week, that the Nation must
choose between maintaining the army
of unemployed on Government relief
and a further revision of industrial
codes to reduce hours and distribute
work more eQuitably.
1T is unthinkable," he declared,
"that the Nation would choose to feed,
clothe and care for approximately
100000 idle workers and their de-
pendents, who, conservatively esti-
mated. would number 10000, 900

1--WE hold that if labor is to be
free it must be free in the full sense
and meaning of that term" he said.
He complained that while employers
were assisted by the Government to
organize into trade associations with
benefit to themselves under N. r. A.
codes, they had prevented labor from
organizing into unions Of its own Sc
lection.
THE basis Of practically all strikes
that have occurred in the past year, VI
he continued, "is found in the de-
termined refusal of employers to per-
NIT their workers to organize and tc
recognize the organizations selected
by their workers as collective bargain
ing agencies.
Labor interprets section IA Of the
national recovery act, and the SubSti-
tute for the Wagner disputes act
providing for the creation Of a ma
tional labor relations board, as mean
ing that, first, the workers of the
Nation are accorded and guaranteed
the right to organize for mutual help

or coercion by their employers or their
agents; second, that the organization
established under this free exercise OF
their legal rights shall be accepted and

FEDERAL AID
To Be SOUGHT
BY HARRICAN

B. A. Harrigan, county agricul-
tural commissioner, was instructed
by the board of supervisors at their
meeting yesterday afternoon to
draft a resolution asking that the
valley be included in the huge ap-
preparation of federal funds being
released to combat the grasshop-
per menace. This resolution is not
meant to be limited to the county
but is intended to include the whole
state of California.
1t was pointed out to the board
that this appropriation by the gov
ernment was made for the aid of
certain eastern states and no reas-
on could be seen why this should
not be extended to California as
we'll where the menace OF the
grasshoppers is extremely great in
certain sections of the state.
The board further passed reso-
luton which recommended the
federal government use the Cal
exico airport as its port of entry
and immigration and customs de-
pot. This is in anticipation of the
establishment of airmail and pas
senger service between Los An
geles and Mexico City.
The board received a petition
from % Westmorland citizens ask
ing for the abandonment of certain
streets in that city. Approval was
given this petition by the board
and it concerns two alleyways as
well as Talton avenue, Oakley ave-
nue. and California street.
