Drive on Standard Oil

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)- Harvey
C. Fremming, president of the Inter-
national Association of Oil Field, Gas
Well and Refinery Workers of Amer
lea, announced here that his union
would start widespread unionization

STANDARD Oil has a system very
much like the General Motors kind of
company union in effect now," Frem-
imng added.

had membership of about 100000
approximately so per cent of the IN
dustry, excluding service stations.
A meeting of the unions executive

mally launched, Fremming said.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

This is a stopgap until the Grand
Coulee Dam on the Columbia river
lis ready, some two years hence, to
deliver power. Then we shall see a
Columbia river authority, which will
be IVA on giant scale.
Men not given to exaggeration call
the Grand Coulee project the biggest
thing on earth. 1t is certainly the
biggest single human enterprise.
Grand Coulee Dam will contain
three times as much concrete as
Boulder Dam. 1t will be 4,300 feet
long, $50 feet high, 500 feet thick
at the base. 1t will back up the CO.
lumbia river in a lake Isl miles long,
reaching the Canadian border; and
from this lake water will be pumped
into Grand Coulee itself, making
another lake % miles long, and three
times as deep as the gorge below
Niaga Falls.
Grand Coulee Dam will deliver
2,500000 horse power in electric cur
rent, and irrigate about 100000
acres of land. 1t is employing nearly
5000 men at the site, and no one knows
how many elsewhere. The dam and
power plant are estimated to cost
$1s1 100000; the irrigation canals
5000, 100000, and interest and other
items bring the grand total of ex-
pected cost to $405, 100000.
Yet Bonneville and Grand Coulee
together are just two Of the ten great
dams planned for the Columbia river
basin.
Is this country finished? It's just
nicely begun.

FOUR ITEMS CHOSEN
For Program of Interna-
tiOnal Labor Meeting

Geneva.-Final selection of items
for the agenda (program Of business)
of the 1888 International Labor Con-
ference was made by the governing
body of the LILO at it's regular quarter
ly meeting held recently in Geneva.
Four items were chosen. They were:
Regulation of hours of work
and rest periods in road transport
undertakings:
Technical and vocational ednca-
tion and apprenticeship;
Recruiting, placing and condi-
tions of labor equality of treat
ment) of migrant workers; and
Regulation of contracts of en-
ployment of indigenous workers.
In urging that the question of
Regulation of hours of work and rest
periods in road transport" be included
Goodrich, u. S. Government repre-
sentative on the governing body
said:
1T seems to me that this is a field
of social activity in which there has
been a great delay in action, but for
which the time now seems to be ripe.
Regulations of the type proposed have
long been in force for railway men
and other transport workers. The
newer industries of road transport
stand much in need of the same pro-
lection"
Leon Jouhaux, French workers rep
resentative, warmly supported Good
rich, and said he wanted to add an
other argument in favor of the regu-
lation of hours of work in road trans.
port"
THAT argument" he explained, is
the competition that has sprung up in
many countries between road trans
port undertakings and rail and other
forms of transport"

AN IMPORTANT SOCIAL
EXPERIMENT

The American Friends (Quaker)
service committee has just launched
one of the most important social ex-
periments Of the day. It has bought
a 200-acre tract in Fayette count,

The signing of this agreement was
regarded as particularly signlflcant
here in view of the fact that the
Reading branch of the hosiery feder-
alton has called a general strike Tor

plants.
The Traymore agreement PROVIDES
for 100 per cent unionization OF the

Federal Pressure

Columbus, Ohio (OLNS)-The house
committee on labor went on record
last week as unanimously opposed to
usurpation of states rights by the
Social Security Board by recommend
ing for passage House Bill No. 234

ure is enacted into law.
House Bill No. 234, introduced by
Representative w. H. Whetro, IRON
ton. dispenses with special educa-
tional requirements included in civil
service examination for positions IN
the public assistance program of the
social security act.
Thomas j. Donnelly, legislative
agent and ecretary-treasurer of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, in
support of the bill declared that it
prevented discrimination against able
persons who had devoted years to
welfare work but had not been college
trained in that particular line of en-
deavor.
Mr.. Donnelly also declared that if
the bill was defeated it would aid in
establishing a governmental office
holding class. Also speaking in be-
half of the bill were Representative

This ought to be clear:

Ihls ought to be clear:
Congress has been asked to enact
statute which is clearly constitu-
tional There is no such thing involved
as overriding the constitution.
There is no danger of dictatorship,
because Roosevelt isn't proposing
anything except what is provided for
expressly in the constitution which
those who oppose Roosevelt assured
US only few months ago was the sure
and steady safeguard of our liberties.
There is no precedent involved. 1t
has been done twice And it can be
done as many more times as future
congresses want to do it.
Roosevelt gets no new power.
The power rests entirely with
congress. Plenty of people over
look that vital fact.
Of course the whole struggle is
just one phase of the painful process
of emerging into actual nationhood
from state of more or less loose
federation of communal groups.
That's mouthful, but it's what is,
clear enough.
We shall have a great lot of pom
derous trickery from big business.
Big business likes the way the courts
have operated. Labor doesn't. The
masses of the people have had their
wishes stifled by the federal courts
and the supreme court.

The blockade against foreign sol
diers for either side in Spain went
into effect on February 27-with
some French volunteers for the loyal
ist cause just getting under the wire.
The embargo also covers at least
some kinds of military supplies.
This means new phase in the war.
That war was made by Mussolini and
Hitler. Without their men, money,
planes, tanks and munitions, Franco
and his Moors would have been pull
verized months ago. Gibraltar OBJ
servers estimate 10000 Germans and
Italians in Francois armies, and 5000
new Moors are reported just landed.
But George Seldes, war CORES
pondent of much experience, writes
from the loyahst lines that "the
morale of the troops is the strongest
it has even been" The loyalists are
holding their own around Madrid, and
attacking Oviedo in the northwest.
Also, they now have planes, and are
raiding rebel camps with them.
The pendulum seems swinging
slowly-to the loyalist side.
President Roosevelt sent to con-
gress the suggestions of the commit
tee on national power policy for a
temporary administration of Bonnie
vile DAM in Oregon, which will be
ready to deliver power late this pear.
These suggestions follow closely the
IVA policy of empowering the ad-
ministration to buy or build power
lines to carry current to market, and
to give municipalities and co-opera-
tives the preference as current buy
ers over private companies.

The thing that tempts an unloosing
of the guns of cuss words and invec-
tive, is not the fact that there is OPP
position, but the way the opposition
is running its unholy show.
Unfortunately there are some lib
erals who are against the president.
They have right to do that. Their
grounds seem pretty weak and wob-
bly,, but nobody can say that Nor
ris, for example, opposes the presi-
dent for the same reasons that Wall
street has up its sleeve.
All we can say is that some
branches of liberalism have fallen
upon sorry days and are helping big
money pull its .chestnuts out of the
red hot ashes.

that much hot mush for mealy

A Federal and State program to
aid in the education Of physically
handicapped children was urged
today by Senator Pepper CD, Of
Florida.
Pepper appeared before the
Senate Education and Labor Com
mittee to ask approval Of his bill
which would authorize a yearly
Federal appropriation of $780,
900 to be distributed among the
States on a matched basis. He
said:
This bill is designed as .
Federal aid to make up the diff.
ference of the cost Of education
of a normal and abnormal
child. These helpless children
must not be left to grow up and
remain helpless. We must pro-
vide them with a means of live
lihOOd."
Pepper said the measure also is
designed to permit the crippled
child to remain with its parents
while receiving the benefits Of the
special education.
The program, directed particu-
larly at the rural districts, would
begin in 1889.
