measure under these circumstances newt
ably ~discourages the cooperative attitude that
is so desirable for recovery"
Nearly four million members of unions
affiliated with the American Federation Of
Labor are employed by thousands of pro-
gressive business men who have long since
recognized that organized labor on a nation
wide scale is here to stay and who have found
that trade unions based Of agreements demo-
cratically negotiated and faithfully observed
can be of great assistance in working out
industry's problems. These problems cannot
be solved in an area deluged with distrust.
The American Federation Of Labor, through
its Executive Council, tried to remove the
obstacles to friendly industrial relations and
pave the way for cooperation between man
agement and the workers.
1t is regretted that the U. S. Chamber Of
Commerce assumed a negative attitude to-
ward the ~Federation's constructive proposals.

Campaign for War

The blunt truth often sounds fantastic
Incredible enough for people to dismiss as
fiction or as a wild idea concocted to attract
public attention. For instance, the statement
that an educational campaign to break down
the anti-War sentiment Of the American
people is under way, may be regarded by
some as a brash accusation. But when a
United States Senator, from the floor of the
Senate, charges that "a deliberate attempt
is being made in this country at the present
time by certain interests to take advantage
Of the unhappy situation which exists in
other parts of the world to propaganda for
a tremendous armament in the United
States" skepticism must give way to thought
full consideration.
1t is Senator Bennett Champ Clark who
has hurled this bombshell-and it undoubted-
ly has cast glow which will be reflected in
the debate on the Administrations $1,121,-
OO0,0 900 supremacy bill shortly to come up
in the Senate.
4 think-in fact I know" the Missouri
legislator declared, "and I am not alone on
this floor in my information of the fact-that
meetings have recently been held in the city
of New York, presided over by an eminent
official Of the State Department-just what
his official status is, no n seems to know,
but he is referred to in the public press from
time to time as an ambulatory ambassador
or a peripatetic ambassador, or an ambassa-
dor at large-and attended by certain emf
nent naval and military officers of the United
States and certain great ~fnanciers in the city
Of New York, in which the proposal has been
made that a regular campaign, amply
financed, shall be undertaken in the way Of
propaganda in the United States to make
this country War-minded"
In other words, whether they like it or not
whether they know it or not-the Ameri-
can people are to be war conditioned'-a
war conditioning which will fit admirably
into the pattern of the armament builders
and war strategists. Unless, of course, there
are enough people who will be stirred to
action by further remarks of Senator Clark
when he says: eff the members Of the Senate
and the public will take the trouble to read
some of the radio ~broadcasts made since that
meeting in New York by Admiral Woodward
and other eminent naval officers, they will
see the effect and the workings Of that
propaganda"
There it is-the truth, and also a warning
both cameo-like in their clarity. Who was
it that said: "Know the truth and the truth
shall make you free?'

| would like to correct two errors
made in previous issues. First-in-

Americans Of courage and manhood
would ever permit such a condition
to be forced upon them, yet when
one reviews some of the attempted
acts and some actual occurrences
under various relief agencies the
possibility cannot be entirely dis

that it was just such a condition

Russian revolution and brought
about the final overthrow of the

the hope of the vast majority of the

good citizens, that the alternative

will choose. It is my hope also that
when America has chosen, the
change may be so quickly and in

if it must come, violence, suffering

SHEEP SHEARERS STRIKE
FOR CLOSED SHOP PACT
BY A. F. of L. Weekly News Service

BY A. f. of l.. Weekly News Service.
WILLOWS, Calif.-The A. F. of L..
Sheep Shearers' Union, several hun
dred of whose members went on
strike recently on many California
ranches, declared that it is prepared
for a fight to the finish"
Several hundred men came out in
the San Joaquin Valley alone, with
over 100 here voting to join the
strike. It is commended by the union
that sheep raisers at Sacramento,
Woodland, and Dixon had locked
out" union shearers. At Bakersfield,
the Kern County Wool Growers As
~sociation voted to employ non-union
shearers, it was announced, if neces-
sary to get the wool from 100000 I'M
shorn sheep. Two hundred shearers
went on strike in Kern County. The
Butte Glenn County Growers Asso-
citation promptly called a meeting to
discuss the situation.
The principle union demands were
a closed shop contract, providing for
a uniform wage scale and permission
to place union label on wool bags.
