dent James M. Duffy should be given
the highest praise for his part in the
matter. The labor movement is like
the development of an apple; first the
blossom, then the green apple and
lastly, the ripe, juicy fruit. Let us,
after gaining one point, go on to the
next development.
Our ambition should be to have the
union label stamped on all pottery.
There will be no meeting of our
local May 30, Decoration day. The next
two weeks, however, we expect to see
all present. Those who did not at
tend the special meeting should be
good enough sports to be here and
pay their fines or give excellent ex-
cuSeS.

Mrs. Smith, the former Betty Grocott

Brother Jack Horan is willing tc

John McCarron believes in the

come less important since the Supreme
Court passed on the constitutionality
of the National Labor Relations Act,
and thus confirmed the power of Con-
gress to exercise it's commerce power
to the fullest extent. Others have be-
come still less important by reason of
the provisions of the amendment
which the committee has reported.
Differentials Are Banned
"The amendment does not seek to
create any new administrative body,
because it's provisions are not of a
nature to require continuous admins
tration and supervision. The wages
and hours prescribed apply national
ly in each particular industry. There
are to be no differentials either be-
tween sections Of the United States,
between industries, or between em-
ployers. No employer in any part of
the United States in any industry af-
fecting interstate commerce need fear
that he will be required by law to OBJ
serve wage and hour standards higher
than those applicable to his competi-
tors.
"No employe in any part of the
United States in any industry affect
ing interstate commerce need fear
that the fair labor standards main
tanned by his employer will be jeop-
ardized by oppressive labor standards
maintained by those with whom his
employer competes.
"The committee amendment should
receive the overwhelming and patriotic
support of both great parties"

Taxes Affecting
Jobs and Livinu
Costs are Studied

Newark, N. j. GLNS).-Taxes
"affecting labor's employment and
living costs" will be studied by a
special committee appointed by au-
thority of the executive board of the
New Jersey State Federation of Labor.
President Louis Marciante named
Robert Lynch, Jersey City, William
Carter and Harry Oppenheimer of
Newark to serve. They represent af-
filiated locals Of steamfitters, hosting
engineers and motion picture oper-
ators.
Decision to initiate the survey was
based upon an increasing number of
special license tax proposals intro
duced in six New Jersey cities and
towns which purport to be concerned
with punitive taxes on self-service
food stores. However, it was reported
to the Executive Beard that propon-
ents of the rneasGres in at least two
hearings turned fiery and well-or-
ganized attack on the general princi-
pie of irect-distribution and chain
store type of retailing.
Belief was expressed that several
local campaigns would generate mo-
mentum for statewide demand for
punitive tax measures that might re-
suit in loss of jobs for union members
or increase living costs.
Central labor unions of Atlantic
Camden and Mercer counties in New
Jersey have voted to oppose munich
pal license taxes which propose that
fees of from $4,000 to $4,000 be ex-
acted from self-service food stores.
similar license ordinance has already
been passed at Camden and is now be-
ing tested in State Supreme Court
Hearings on others at Atlantic City
Pennsauken, Ventnor and Absecon art
scheduled for the next three weeks.

sufficient to maintain the bare cost of
living, such demands will necessarily
continue.
'"The payment of oppressive wages
is not only detrimental to interstate
commerce and to the health and we'll
being of employees of employers en-
gagged in interstate commerce, but also
casts a direct burden for the support
of such employees upon Government.
Government cannot indefinitely
provide what is in effect subsidy for
such employers-a subsidy made
necessary by the inability of the great
majority of such employers to main
tain fair labor standards in the face
of wage cuts by chiseling competitors.
''The committee amendment will go
far in remedying the situation. 1t es-
tablishes floor for wages, and cell
ing for hours, and abolishes child la
Dor. 1t provides for gradual automatic
increases in wages and gradual au-
tomato decreases in hours in order
not to cause severe economic dislo-
cations. At the end of 8 years the
minimum wage, which employers with
respect to whom Congress may exer-
else it's legislative power must main
tain, will be SIG week. 1t is to be
hoped that within that time the sew
eral states will adopt similar if not
higher standards for employers within
their jurisdiction.
"Not a Partisan Issue"
"The establishment Of fair labor
standards in industries which affect
interstate commerce is not a partisan
issue.
"Since 1882 the two great political
parties have advocated the principle
of minimum wages, maximum hours
and the abolition of child labor. There
have, to be sure, been differences with
respect to the method of reaching this
very desirable objective.
"Some of these differences have be.

Washington, d. C.-The Federal

operators of motor vehicles paid
$76l, ,99S,00O in gasoline taxes and in

economic freedom and political freedom go to-
gether.
The first measure is a step toward Govern
ment wage fixing, and means another BOARD"
to swell the political patronage and bureaucracy
at Washington.
The second item reminds us that the CIO
unions are not responsible for the results of
their acts and seize public utility plants with
impunity.
The third item reminds us that the farms of
the nation are going to be run from Washing
ton, and that to pay the bills we are going to
bear processing taxes" on our cotton goods and
wheat bread.
The hopeless rawlings of the Logan bill about
raising the price level to certain point and
then holding it there remind us that some people
never learn.
Is it any wonder that fear remains?
