EQUAL RIGHTS FOR LABOR

President Roosevelt's reported plan
for industry to do it's own policing
under NRA codes and discipline its
own chiselers emphasizes the para
mount Importance of having labor
representatives on all code authorities.
Code authorities, now made up
chiefly of employers, may administer,
with fair degree of justice, the pro-
visions governing the various fair and
unfair practices in the manufacture
and sale of commodities. But it is
not reasonable to expect them to ad-
minister justly the labor provisions
of the codes. To expect code au-
thority made up of anti-union employ
ers to enforce Section IA, which

was still sinking with the smoke and
blood of the Ludlow massacre; prob
ably the most CHASTITY butchery that
corporation gunner have staged in
America.
He set out, under these unpleasant
circumstances, to "sell Rockefeller to
the American people as Santa Claus,
not an Ogre; and to an astounding
degree he succeeded. He actually
staged a scene in which Mother
Jones, champion and idol of the min
ers, shook hands with John D. Rookie
feller.
When that could happen, anything
could happen. Lees oily adroitness-
the pun is unavoidable--has made
hosts of Americans almost reverse
their opinions of Rockefeller. They
see only the University of Chicago,
the Rockefeller Foundation, the reser-
voirs of money poured out-and, as a
rule, wisely poured out-in charitable
projects. They think these express the
real nature of the man, and not his
earnest desire for spiritual fire in
surance. They forgot his ruthless
ness, his cruelty, in gathering the gold
which he is belatedly scattering.
This is to considerable extent the
work of Ivy Lee. 1t earns him high
rank among the ignoble company of
sycophants. He has other titles to
such fame. He began publicity work
with the Pennsylvania railroad, one
of the hardest boiled, anti-union lines
Of the country. He spread out, as the
old-time minstrel could not do; and
within few months before his death
he was taking a $4,000 yearly fee
from the German dye trust, and
pleasantly interviewing Hitler.
Yet he will be remembered as the
Laird Rockefeller's minstrel. He
whitewashed the slaughter of Amer
lean miners before he struck hands
with the butchers of German Jews.

CoNFoUNDING THE CRITICS

Organized labor fooled the wise
ones this week. The annual predic-
tions of the pale, thin magazine have
become set of stereotyped phrases
bearing upon the indurated conserva-
tism of the leaders in the A. F. of L.
This year they made unusually gloomy
prognosis and bore down once more
on the evils of craft unionism and
upon the misdoings of the oligarchy
composed of the small group on the
executive council.
Now comes the news that the great
organization has overturned all pro-
phesies and confounded the prophets,
has defed all precedents and tran
scended the hopes of the most pro-
gressive. The editors who sit on cush-
ioned chairs and make erudite re-
marks about what labor should do
will have to change the tune.
Others farther to the left will have
to step over bit and strike a new
note in their ceaseless harping and
earping. Meanwhile organized labor
will make strides forward under the
newest deal for the workers and
none actively engaged in the battle
for better conditions will have time
or inclination to devote themselves
to a reply to outside critics. 1t is a
time for ion.-Internationa Oil
Worker.

HOW ABOUT MR.. DAWES
WHO VOUCHES FOR HIM?

Charles G.. Dawes has vouched for
the high moral character of Sam
uel insult and Samuel's brokers. But
who has vouched for the high moral
character of Charles G. Dawes.
A good many years ago, some Chi
cago politicians wanted to start a
bank. They had to show certain
financial backing in order to get a
state license Dawes, head of another
Chicago bank, loaned them securities
which they showed as their own, and
got their license. Dawes took back
his securities, Lorimer opened his
bank, which duly went broke-but
Dawes loaned no securities to help
out the depositors.
Two years ago Charles G. Dawes
was head Of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, whose chief work
at that time was to bolster up shaky
banks. The Dawes bank in Chicago
was then decidedly shaky. Dawes re-
signed from the RFC with a grand
gesture-and Immediately thereafter

for employment and wages, unless
they are changed.
AS they stand today, the codes have
reached the limit of their power to
right the wrongs in the economic
order.
If there is to be more employ
ment growing out of codes, then
the codes will have to be
changed.
Since code changes must meet the
approval of employers, we can look
for no really drastic changes.
Thus the coming winter is destined
to bring what really will be climax
in the administration effort to over
haul the old ship and make it sea-
worthy.
Out Of all the murk there arises
this practical surety: If moderate
measures do not work, then extremes
will have their way. 1t is a time to
keep informed-a time to know what
is going on.

FASCISM IN u. S.

The question is more and more be-
ing asked, why not investigate Fascist
activities in the United States?
There are good reasons why the
congressional committee investigat-
ing American activities here should
take up Fascist propaganda and or
ganization which, documentary evil
dence shows, has been aggressively
spread by Mussolini's agents among
Italians and others in schools,
churches and fraternal organizations
throughout America. The Fascist
agents even maintain a spy system
and seek by boycott and other means
to punish those conspicuously opposed
to Mussolini's regime.
Activities Of Fascist agents have
convinced many persons that if the
congressional committee investigates
Fascist propaganda here it will real
ize that it is just as much a menace
to American institutions as Nazism,
which has already received the at
tention Of the committee.
The committee cannot make a COM
plete report on un-American move
ments in this country if it leaves out
Fascist activities.

THE LAIRD'S MINSTREL

Ivy L. Lee, known to organized la
Dor as one of its bitterest enemies,
but to the oil trust in the United
States and the dye trust in Germany
as very present help in time of
trouble, is dead at the age of 81
years.
In mediaeval Scotland, every self
respecting laird had his own private
minstrel, to sing the laird's prowess
and virtues. As the minstrel told it,
it was the laird who really whipped
the enemy; the clansmen just came in
to gather up the spoil. 1t was the laird
who made the clan respected and fear
ed to the remotest glen. If The min
strel did his work properly, if he
earned the sardonic compliment of
Bruce:
"Well hast thou framed, old man,
thy strains
To praise the hand that pays thy
pains;
he had something to eat, a place to
sleep, an important position at the
gatherings, and sometimes a drink
from a fagon of usquebaugh which
the laird had sampled first.
Ivy Lee was minstrel to the laird
of Standard Oil, John D. Rockefeller,
Sr. Ivy was a clever minstrel. He
praised the hand that paid his pains
with more than common skill. He

guarantees the workers the right to
organize, is absurd.
Moreover, every code contains nu-
merous provisions relative to maxi
mum hours, minimum wage and va
rious other work conditions, which
most employers oppose. To expect a
code authority made up exclusively
of such employers to administer these
provisions with justice to the work
ers is also absurd.
The recent convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor took a ra-
tional position on this question, point
ing out that in less than 25 out of
more than 500 codes so far adopted
has labor achieved representation,
and that in only five or six of these
instances has there been direct un-
ION representation on the code author
tiles. The convention declared:
Recommendations have again and
again been made to the national re-
covery administration that labor rep
resentatives be placed on all code au-
thorities. These labor representatives
must be given on the code authorities
equal in power and in privilege to all
other members of the code authorities.
TIC confer upon code authorities the
power to police industry under the
codes, without giving labor adequate
representation on the enforcement
bodies, is an anomaly which should
not be considered by responsible gov
ernlnent officials, supposed to serve
all of the people.-San Francisco La
Dor Clarion.

The Cherry
" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly. -.

From now on there will be great
clamor throughout the country and
particularly in Washington over what
is to be done to keep body and soul
together" among the idle millions this
winter.
We shall hear the words "dole," Gin
surance," "relief," "work," and all
of their synonyms through columns
of newspaper space, over hours of
radio time and through endless
speeches and sermons.
There will be plenty of talk-talk
without end, most of it to very little
point and without much thought.
This winter will probably bring us
to the supreme effort to revive
prosperity. If it can't be revived by
the coming spring the outlook will
not be bright for much of anything.
The coming congress will have with
in it's ranks a great number of money
hunters-men who will use Washing
ton as a platform from which to talk
for and vote for money in all kinds
of ways. Most of these will get the
cold and icy stares from the White
House and many of their bills will
get the veto if they ever get through
to enactment.
But there will be big program Of
what is called social legislation, and
out Of it there ought to come a great
deal of change in the economic picture.
Whether benefits will be perma-
nent remains to be seen.
We have yet to find out whether
the various forms of insurance-un-
employment, sickness and old age
can put enough leverage under the
maladjustments to take the wrinkles
out permanently.
We don't know yet whether it will
provide new heart or merely lift
face. But we shall find out in due
time, for something like that pro-
gram will be adopted this winter.
There is a great deal Of reason to
suppose that before there is perma-
nent and proper cure some way will
have to be found to actually stop
the over-exploitation of the wage
earners of America-and pensions
seem to need reinforcements if that
job is to be done.
How curious and interesting it is
that during this past year, while en-
ployment has remained about sta
tionary, the dividends of a great
group of corporations have climbed
to amazing heights, until golden
stream has poured forth to stock
holders.
NRA codes, even where they have
produced shorter hours and some raise
in total wage payments, have not mod
flied the dividend flow.
Indeed, they have done mighty lit.
! tie to increase the wage flow.
Sad as it is to say, there seems to
| have been more guarantee of divi-
dends in the codes than of wages.
