CHICAGO-What can you do with the child who balks, dawdles or messes over his meals?
 Miss Catherine Landreth says it's wrong to use songs, stories, plead ings, seedlings, threats, forced feed- .ines or spankings. They merely give the child a stronger spotlight of attention, for which most children strive in one way or another.
 She should know whereof she speaks for she faces plenty of young problems" in her role of assistant professor of home economies and director of the Chicago University nursery school.
 She contends that teaching a child to eat with good manners, all the food placed before him should be a matter of gradual training from the time he can first feed himself.
 Hints for Mamas
 She advises parents to:
 1. = Check the childs general health to see that he gets enough sleep and outdoor play.
 2.-Prepare wholesome foods as attractive as possible, serve req sonably small portions at regular intervals, leave the food before the child for a while and then remove lit without comment.
 3.--Make the child taste but don't force him to eat all of food he says he dislikes Next time, serve the food in a quantity small enough that he will recall the last taste.
 Bright CoIors Help
 A youngsters eating is greatly enhanced, she says, by giving him bright-colored table appointments which he can handle comfortably himself He should have spoon he can grip firmly, steep-sided dish es that keep the food in place. and a small pitcher for pouring milk.
 And it's not too early to start training when the baby makes his first awkward attempts at cooper atian and independence. Miss Land- reth maint aims
 He can be started with a high chair, but should be moved to his own low table and chair as soon as he learns to handle utensils. The next step is the adults table-but not until he has thoroughly mas tered manners and understands he is to leave a clean plate.

Youngstown Officials
Scored for Strike
breaking Arsenal

YOUNGSTOWN, O. (FP) - For
the second time, police clubs and
teargas cleared a way through picket
lines to permit food for scabs to
enter strike-bound plants. Fourteen
strikers and three cops were injured
as the guardians of law and order"
carried out their strikebreaking as
signment.
Fighting in the rain, steelworkers
defended themselves as best they
could with bare fists, or in some
cases with the sticks of which
Youngstown authorities had already
sought to deprive them. Fourteen
strikers were arrested.
we did the best we could to quiet
the strikers said Police Capt.
Charles Richmond. Sheriff Ralph E.
Elser added: "They were asked to
surrender and didn't. That was
when the teargas began to fly"
Earlier in the strike, the sheriff
was scored for smashing a picket
line to let a food train through. John
Owens, steel strike commander, de-
manded that company thugs be dis
armed. As the process of swearing
in deputies continued, several of
them, dressing up their new-found
authority in uniforms at a depart
ment store, clashed with a group of
strikers and sympathizers.
Infatuated when strikers made
short work of Youngstown's finest,
the sheriff threatened to deputize
10000 strikebreakers, adding, in a
fit of candor, that he had a we'll
stocked arsenal of teargas, hand
grenades, shotguns, revolvers and
armored trucks. These, he said,
would be used TO preserve the
peace"
In a minor scuffle which sent sew
eral deputies to the hospital, three
strike sy%mpathizers were arrested
and ~inearcerated in the city jail. I'm
~mediately, several thousand strikers
and their friends %converged upon the
Jail and demanded the immediate re-
lease of the three. They were turned
back by police armed to the hilt.
Reactionary city councilmen here
demanded blood, as one of the more
outspoken said: 1.-THE Committee for
Industrial Organization has taken
over Youngstown in a reign of ter
ror and the C. L. o. should be beaten
so badly in Youngstown that it never
rears its ugly head again"
Mahoning County officialdom
placed itself 100 per cent at the dis
posal of the steel companies when
Relief Director I. L. Feuer declared
that there were no funds for relief
for strikers.

LANSING, Mich.-(FP)-Lansing
was soon back at work almost 100
per cent-an even better union town
following a dramatic strike Sc
quence. First episode was the gen
eral labor holiday which "just spon-
taneously happened" as indignant
autoworkers reacted against the ar
rest of several pickets, including a
woman who was dragged out of bed
in the middle of the night with no
opportunity to arrange for the care
of her children. The downtown Sec
ton was blockaded and factories
were shut down. In many cases en-
ployees joined the autoworkers' I'M
ion 100 per cent before leaving the
plants. Second episode was a build
ing trades strike the following day.
Half the contractors in town had
signed closed shop agreements by
nightfall. Also organized is the
wrecking company, picketing of
which started all the commotion.

The following editorial is reprinted from
the Tacoma Labor Advocate edited by John
Mckinney. The editorial gives a clear expo
sition of the policy of the Americna Fedora
ton of Labor toward the establishment of
minimum standard of wages by government
agencies or by law. This question Of wages
is an intricate problem. Some schools of
thought take a Numerically opposite stand
to what is expressed in this editorial. These
people contend that if a union is strong
enough to establish a higher scale of wages
than that specified in the law it is strong
enough to hold it after the law has passed
and that the minimum established through
government agencies offers protection against
driving the wages down to starvation levels.
At any rate the policy that has long been
pursued by the American Federation of La
Dor is a debatable one.

HILL LEGISLATION

PHILADELPHIA. - (Special) -
Lashing out in a powerful verbal
attack against the proponents of the
Sheppard-Hill Bill, ex-Congressman
Vito Marcantonio, labor champion
and New York attorney, speaking
at an Emergency Peace Campaign
mass meeting here Thursday, urged
the forces of labor to unite in de-
feating it.
'This BILL" declared Marcantonio,
sis the most vicious piece of legis-
lation before Congress. 1t is the
grossest fake that has ever been at
tempted in recent years."
He gave eloquent praise to the
American workers, who, he said, are

strongly opposed to war.
"They and those others who de-
sire peace are the real Americans"
he said. ''They have built the de-
mocracy of our nation. They will
unite and militantly fight for the
preservation of the peace and de-
mocracy of these United States"
He related, however, how easily
a Fascist dictatorship could be set
up in the United States with the
Sheppard-Hill Bill a law in the event
of war.
1--WE must Immediately fight and
expose those %hypocrites who under
the name of taking profits out of
war, are sponsoring the BILL" he
said.
Marcantonio also said we must
"militantly crusade against the war
makers within own borders, and
"set the example by disarmament"

AL any rate the pOucy IIldb HdS long Oe6I
pursued by the American Federation of La
Dor is a debatable one.
Minimum Wages
One of the very first declarations by the
American Federation of Labor in its earliest
days was a -pronouncement against regula-
ton of wages by the government. It stood
definitely opposed to any such action.
The reason is not far to seek. First, it was
believed, and the event proved, that when
minimum wage standards are legalized, they
become also for the majority of employers
the maximum standards. And it was against
any such sterilization that the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor stood irrevocably.
We live in other times. The NRA led the
way to established schedules. Those sched-
ules which were termed minimum scales,
were set at a very low figure. They were also
open to the objection that they set a scale
for the north and a scale for the south, estab-
fishing under legal forms, the present vicious
tendency to keep low wages in that territory.
But the NRA proved beyond any sort of
peradventure that the early contention of the
American Federation of Labor was sound,
and that employers looked at the wage sched-
ules established and said in too many cases,
that's all we have to pay"
If, however, the American Federation of
Labor refused wisely to countenance any
minimum standards for its members under
the law of the land, it filled up the void as to
wage standards by demanding fair wages.
That this left each union free to adopt such
standards as seemed right and proper to its
vooNoLorCL;0 WOE about oil 4ho rOOI 4ho+ 10
to be found in that expression.
We may reject point blank the old theories
of the economists with their iron law of wages
and that which John Stuart Mills so elabor-
ately works out in his political economy I'M
der the wage fund theory. It was Mills
notion following Ricardo and before Ricardo,
Adam Smith, that there was just a certain
sum available in society for wages and an
expansion in one direction from such a fund,
meant a contraction from it in another direc-
ton. 1t is a wonder any such a foolish notion
was accepted as worthy of credence by any
intelligent people, but academic minds are
prone to approve f~allacies.
Nowadays it is more correctly realized that
wages come from the product of labor and
that a more productive labor will provide the
wherewithal to secure higher wage standards.
The only objection to this fact is that the
owners of the means of production and distri-
button who employ labor, have often con-
siderable difficulty in realizing that labor is
entitled to a larger share from the increased
product. And it is a fact, also, that if and
when such increases are conceded there exists
an incorrigible tendency to increase prices
so that real wages remain stationary or sink
to a lower level if judged by buying power,
