Growth Of Totdlitdrim Government
In United States Is Feared by Berry

Houston, Textile menace of the
totalitarian State in America pattern
ed after Hitler's Nazism in Germany
and Mussolini's Fascism in Italy and
the necessity of the trade union move
ment presenting solid front against
dictatorship of all sorts featured the
address by George l.. Berry, United
States Senator from Tennessee, before
the annual convention Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor here.
Mr.. Berry, who is also president of
the International Printing Pressmen's
and Assistants Union, was introduced
by William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, as "our
Senator, because when he served in the
Congress of the United States he re-
dected great credit upon the organized
labor movement" In addition, he
twas a Major in the World War, an
outstanding representative of organ
lied labor, an official of the United
States Government, and great
United States citizen"
81 appreciate more than | can tell
you the opportunity of being present
to say word on the occasion of this
magnificent convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor" Mr.. Berry
said. 81 use the word magnificent
advisedly, because it is representative
of one of the most extraordinary
growths in memberSh;n that has ever
been recorded in the life of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. 1t is, fur
ther, a magnificent occasion.
81 take the liberty of transmitting
my whole-hearted congratulations tc
the officers and the members from the
national and international unions, the
central bodies and the state federations
Of labor upon the splendid growth, not
only in membership, but in influence
that has come to Us in this past year
81 am delighted to be able to say tc
you that the organization of which
| am a member and its chief executive
officer has, with you, a splendid
growth in membership. This is good
This increase in membership, this in
crease in influence upon the part OF
the workers of America is good. II
seems to me that there has never been
a day or month or year in the his
tory of America that demands a
greater sense of cohesiveness, a great
er sense of solidarity and unity upon
the part of the workers than does this

"Perhaps I would be assuming too
much to point out in great detail the
situation that confronts the United
States and the world; but may ! here
make this my observation, that the in
fiuence that has always been present
in the interest and in the furtherance
of democratic principles, the trades
union movement of this country, is
now needed perhaps more than ever
before in the history of the Republic
Dictatorships Are Displacing
DemOcracies
when we cast our eye over the
map of the world we cannot hesitate
feeling some sense of distress and de-
preston. We have observed, sys-
tematically and gradually the disap-
pearance Of democracies upon the
face of the earth. 1t is situation
that must challenge our attention
Just few days ago a dictatorial pact
was consummated at Munich, in which
oneof the very few remaining democ-
rscies abroad was practically dissolved
A democracy living in prosperity and
stability and contentment, was wiped
out in practical sense by the force
of Fascism and Nazism, conducted by
the dictators Of Italy and Germany.
Labor Must Challenge AutOcracy
"My fellow countrymen, this is a
challenging circumstance to US. have
always believed in the proposition that
principle, fundamental in it's char
acteristics, was worth fighting for The
democracies of the world and those
who believe in this ideal in govern
ment, in my judgment, will pay dearly
for the sacrifice made at Munich a
few short days ago.
"And what has that to do with our
government and our country? 1t is be-
ing said that there is no danger in
America of dictatorship. 1t is being
said that we are safe and secure from
such possibility. My fellow country
men, and fellow trade unionists, it is
This is a contagious disease, and we
know that it has foundation and ex-
istence in America, whether we are
willing to acknowledge it or not
Therefore, our cohesiveness and unity
in carrying out the traditions Of the
American Federation of Labor to resist
the enroachm2t of this disease, auto
cracy and dictatorship in our, country,
is, ] repeat, a challenge to our first
consideration"

Specific proposals are made for six
fields Of assistance to improve both
the content of instructions, the meth

it marks an important step forward
in American education for which labor
may feel gratifed. 1t may mark a
great step forward in the equalization
of educational opportunities for the
people of this country.
"But what is of the utmost import

3O-Hour Weeks
Demanded by AFL
Executive Board
Shorter Hours Necessary To
Provide Jobs For
Unemployed

Houston, Tex.-Confronted with the
continued existence of jobless army
numbering many millions, the Execu-
tive Council Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in its report to the an
nual convention of the Federation here
reaffrmed its demand for the gradual
but constant reduction Of the length
of the work week to the 30-hour point
as the only effective method to pro-
vide work for the workless.
''The American Federationof Labor
reiterates its endorsement of the
thirty-hour week as the schedule to-
ward which we are working as rapidly
as possible" the Council said.
'The constant increase in produc-
tivity forces us to adjust work hours
downward at an equal rate. The army
of unemployed, which has never since
depression been reduced below 7,500,-
coo and today numbers over 11,OOO,-
600, is testimony enough to the need
for shorter work hours.
Industry is able to make this ad-
justment by steady and progressive
reduction Of the work week until the
3O-hour level is reached. In 1929,
work hours in industry generally aver
aged over forty-eight per week, while
today the 40 and 44-hour week is
prevalent. Yet, after accomplishing
these striking reductions in hours to-
gether with an increase in hourly
wages in the short period of eight
years, unit labor costs in June this
year in manufacturing were per cent
below 1929, according to the National
Industrial Conference Board Index,
and the Nations leading manufactur-
ing companies earned the high profit
of 1917 per cent on their net worth in
1887"

Compoign Against
Appoinfive Judge
Proposal Mapped
Conference Reveals Stronq
Opposition To The
Amendment
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-A statewide cam
paign by radio and the daily press
to publicize the danger to the demo-
cratic principles of representative gov
ernment contained in the proposed
judicial amendment was mapped at
a conference held at the Neil House
Sunday, October 16.
More than 800 delegates from fra
ternal, farm, trade and railroad
unions and civic bodies heard a num-
Der of prominent speakers describe
the abridgement of freedom which the
amendment proposes and offer their
time and financial aid in informing the
electorate Of the threat to their con-
stitutional privileges.
The conference was sponsored by
the Ohio League to Preserve Democ-
racy and Elected Judiciary, a repre-
sentative group composed of or en-
dorsed by leaders in every field of en-
deavor. Headquarters Of the League
are in the Hollenden Hotel, Cleveland.
Sylvester V. Mcmahon, Cleveland at
torney who is chairman Of the League,
served as chairman Of the meeting
and made the principal address in
which he outlined the arguments in
opposition to the proposed amendment.
He then introduced Darlington T.
Marshall, former Chief Justice of the
Ohio Supreme Court, who expressed
strong opposition to the amendment
and proposed that an intensive radio
campaign be launched before the No
vember 8 election, when the proposal
will appear on a special ballot.
Thomas J. Donnelly, Secretary
Treasurer of the Ohio State Fedora
ton Of Labor, assured the delegates
that the Federation was unalterably
opposed to the amendment and would
cooperate wholeheartedly with the
League in assuring its defeat. He
declared that if the amendment was
adopted, all Ohio judges and officials
would eventually be appointed.
Judge Stanley Struble of the Hamil-
ton County Common Pleas Court de-
clared that the amendment, which he
termed ubiquitous" was the pet pro-
posal of "class of lawyers who be-
lieve that the people are too damn
dumb to elect their judges, and, out
of the goodness of their hearts, they
feel called upon to offer to select the
judiciary for them.
Other speakers included Nicholas
Klein, Vice Mayor of Cincinnati
John Owens, president of the Ohio In
dustrial Union Council; Reed NJ
Windegardner, member of the COM
mite which drafted the official argu.
ments against the proposal; John H
Rohrich, legislative agent of the Cleve,
land Federation of Labor; w. S. Ly-
man, negro attorney representing the
Colored Elks of Ohio and Edward
Wertz, Cleveland, former L. S. Dis
trict Attorney for Northeastern Ohio
A number of kilograms from various
state organizations expressing oppo-
sition to the amendment were read
Included were messages from the
Ohio State Grange and the Democratic
War Veterans of Ohio.
