present congress.
LET'S GOI

Long-standing barriers to organiza-
tion of the workers have gone as a
result of the supreme court decisions
upholding the national labor relations
act The act, giving labor the right
to organize and choose its own repre-
sentatives for collective bargaining
free of restraint or coercion by en-
ployers, opens the way, as never be-
fore, to nation wide sweep of organ
ization.
The court has spoken and the rest
is up to the workers, especially the
organized workers. They must take
the lead in organizing all American
labor. The most favorable time for
organization in the history of the
United States is here. There is organ

The Accident Racket

Even the shrewdest of crooks have
weaknesses which prove their undo
ing. Old Man Accident, the scourge
of industry, has his. He cannot thrive
where organized, systematic and en-
thusiastic safety education is carried
on. He is afraid of fool-proof safe
guards and safety methods, and when
it comes to facing thoughtfulness and
carefulness-he simply can't take it.
This head guy of the accident racket,
the common enemy of employer and
employe alike, relies largely on his
staunchest ally-indifference. He is
the Finger man" of the mob. He
points out the weaknesses in the indus
trial set-up and puts the finger on
the victims to be claimed by thought
lessness and carelessness. And how
that pair of thugs work! They're real
rough babies and their CORY records
were made without resort to deadly
weapons. They maim and murder by
indirection, but compared to them the
worst Of public enemies scurrying be-
for an aroused police system are but
mere pikers.
All that is necessary to rid indus
try of Enemy No. | is thought and
care. Health and Happiness is big

Coming to Toledo at the turn Of the
century, Editor Guntrup has been
active in trades union activities in this
city since that time He declared him
self "still sold on the idea that the

INCREASE IN JOBS
SHOWN BY REPORT

Columbus, Ohio (OLNS)-Evidence
of the marked rise in business and
industrial activity, shown by contin-
ued increase in the number of per-
sons returning to private employ
ment, is again noted in the report of
the activities of the Ohio State En-
ployment Services 10 offices for the
month of March.
The report, made to Ora B. Chap
man, director of the department of
industrial relations, disclosed a total
Of 10,601 placements in private in
dustry for the past month. This is
an increase of 1928 per cent over
March year ago.
Persons registering for work the
first time aggregated 11,26S during
March, showing a decrease of 22.2
per cent from March, 1926, and provid-
ing a bright contrast to only 2 per
cent decline of new applications in
February from the total registered
in January.
The Ohio State Employment Serv-
ice, not relief agency, is free to both
employe and employer, and seeks to
cooperate with business concerns
not only to reduce the ranks of the
unemployed, but to see that persons
referred to employers are properly
fitted for their work.
The Hamilton office reported it had
received 213 new applications, made
total placements Of 287, of which 22e
were in private industry.
The Middletown office reported il
had received 123 new applications
made total placements of 800, OF
which 251 were in private industry.

the part of citizenship in industry.
And so it will be, no doubt.
AS sidelight, it rather shows how
foolish it is to rest the case for re-
form of the courts on the question
Of age. 1t is deeper than that. Five
old men gave us the majority de-
cision.
The question is one of institutional
soundness-and of the views of men,
not their age.
Five young men-or nine-could be
very silly, if they were built that way.
Plenty of young men are silly-and
plenty are even vicious.
But a couple of days ago miner
testified that mine owners had paid
money to have union organizers
residence blown up. They wanted, the
witness said, to have the organizer
"shook up"
Now, presumably, these mine own
ers were not what would be called
old.
1t is too bad when great issues get
put on wrong foundations.
The argument for reform of the
court is made stronger by this latest
decision-but surely not on the
ground of age.
If age is the ground, then what
age-and is it to be mental age, or
physical age?
Robert Louis Stevenson was old in
body-wracked in pain,-but oh, how
young in mind.
The examples are endless.
Five old men said workers are free
and the law is the law; four old mer
said it isn't so.
"Out of the mouths of babes," etc.
the old saying has it, with gooc
deal of warrant.
But the rock bottom truth is the
court system itself is wrong.
| Arrogated powers need shearins
back to the original once more.
| Past presidents put on the bench
men who have certain views, too; ant
those views We're as solid when tn,
men were younger as they are now.
How you think means lot today
Why not be fortnight about it?
A nation that intends to keep ste]
with change needs men who can G.
along with change.
We say without hesitation tina
Mussolini's way of thinking doesn'
fit the United States at all. Why no
say the same thing with equal cando
about those among US who think tn
: same way?
We could do with less baloney an
J more of the business of putting tn
issue on the right basis. We wouldn
want nine young reactionaries, an
more than nine-or four-old ones.

NEED FOR HOUSING SPEED

Need for speedy enactment of the
Wagner-Steagall housing bill was
emphasized in telling manner by
William Green, before a senate COM
mittee.
"The task before us is so great,
the ramifcations of the problem are
SO many that it clearly becomes the
public duty of this congress to act
now" the American Federation of
Labor president said.
President Green presented many
convincing reasons for action on the
bill, stressing particularly that the
present housing shortage inevitably
means drastic jump in rents, which
he said are bound to go up faster
than wages, thereby cutting purchas-
ing power and threatening the basis
of recovery. He also emphasized the
heavy unemployment in the building
trades and the necessity for relieving
this at the earliest possible moment.
The Wagner -steagal bill is labor's
bill and labor is vitally interested in
its prompt passage, which was re-
Gently urged at a Washington con
ference of building trades unions. The
bill is No. | on labor's attempts to
block or delay its passage.

ARGUMENT FROM MISSISSIPPI

Mississippi has just given smash
ing argument for a strong federal
anti-lynching law. Two Negroes ac-
cused of murder were taken from the
authorities by mob, savagely tor
tured with blow torches and burned
to death at the stake. The whole per
formance was worthy Of fends from
hell and calls loudly for action to
stop such disgraces to America.
1t has frequently been pointed out
that if federal anti-lynching law is
passed, states which have permitted
lynchings will have no grounds for
complaint. If the states had stopped
lynching, there would be no demand
for federal action. Coming at time
when anti-lynehing bills are before
congress, the Mississippi outrage will
undoubtedly have the effect of
strengthening sentiment for federal
legislation and weakening states
rights clamor against it.
Apart from their interest as citi-
zens in stopping lynching, members
Of organized labor have direct inter
est in ending this atrocious crime. La
Dor organizers and officials have more
than once been the victims of blood
thirsty mobs. The American Fedora
ton Of Labor is on record for federal
