NLRB Plans
Poll of Seamen

New York City (ILNS)-The NLRB
has begun the job of polling $4,000
seamen on ships sailing from Atlantic
and gulf ports on their choice of a
union to represent them in negotiating
new contracts. Mrs. Gilmore M. Her
rick, regional director of the board
said that probably six months would
pass before the vote would be COM
plete.
The real choice will be between the
international Seamen's Union of the
A. F. Of L., and the National Mari
time Union Of the CIO. The ballots
however, make provision for an inde-
pendent choice.

Asbury Park.-In his annual ad-
dress to the convention of the New
Jersey State Federation Of Labor,
Spencer Miller, Jr., reminded the del
egates that they were meeting in the
week in which we shall celebrate the
150th anniversary of the adoption
of the constitution Of the United
States. With this act there was
launched a significant adventure in
constitutional democracy in the New
World. That democracy, said Mr..
Miller, which has withstood criticism
from without and civil war from
within, has survived to this day and
is the oldest instrument of govern
ment in the world today. For labor,
he said, the constitution has provided
a guarantee of civil rights without
which there could be no movement of
labor and no condition of ordered
freedom, for without written consti-
tuition, with it's guarantees for the
integrity of minorities there could be
no movement of labor and no right of
free criticism on the part of every
individual citizen. Labor's recogni-
tion then of this anniversary should
have a double significance, because il
has made possible the independent
labor movement in our national life.
The Responsibility of American
Unions
After discussing the trends in the
labor movements in England, France,
and Germany, Mr.. Miller turned to the
question of the responsibility of
American unions On the lips Of liter
ally thousands of people all over the
United States, in the editorial columns
of newspapers from one end of the
country to the other, the question is
being asked, Is labor responsible
Should not labor be incorporated as
ton to ask, said Mr. Miller, and it is
question that will not down. Upon
labor devolyes the responsibility of
making the most effective answer to
both these questions and the only way
in which labor can make its answer
effectively is by a program OF self
regulation, a plan of eliminating all
of the corrupt and lf-seeking ele
ments within it's own household and
| building up in the minds of the public
a record of the faithful performance
of it's obligations. There are literally
hundreds of contracts entered into
| and carried out to the letter year after
| year. The record Of this achievement
there is notable record Of the man
ner in which labor has assumed obli-
cations for the injury or death Of its
members. The story of this service
deserves wider publicity. There is
| the story Of individual acts Of helpful
service of members of labor toward
| fellow workers, which are virtually
| unnumbered and unknown. These
things taken together constitute the
effective answer of labor to the ques-
tion of their responsibility.
Labor Can Prove Resources For
Public Service
In a word, labor cannot hope to
discharge its responsibility for the

PRESIDENT
APPROVES
Plan for Census Of Unem-
plOyed

Hyde Park, N Y. (ILNS)- Before
leaving on his western trip, President
Roosevelt held lengthy conference
with John D. Biggers, and approved
the plans for a census of the unem-
ployed, so far as those plans have been
prepared.
The post office will take charge of
distributing the blank forms which
will be distributed to 31,000,000 famil-
les; and which the unemployed are
asked to fill in and sign. Having pre-
viously distributed with success blanks
for the bonus payments and for the
opening of the social security act,
the 2. o. feels able to manage this.
No compulsion of any sort will be
used. This would seem to rule out the
frequently made statement that per-
sons who do not sign will be dropped
from relief rolls.
Where the illiteracy rate is high,
special offices will be set up to assist
people in filling out the blanks. Inter
prefers will be used when needed,
though instructions probably will be
printed in several languages. A wide
campaign of publicity will be con-
Quoted; and President Roosevelt has
agreed to write personal appeal
which, with his signature, will appear
on all the forms.

is labor's best hope to transform the
character of many unions to become
instruments Of efficient public service.
