Labor Turns SpOtfA
Profits b

In its usual pungent style, Labor, Railroad
Brotherhoods weekly, has again hit the nail
on the head. This time it concerns the So
called "war profits" bill which has aroused
such tremendous opposition from labor
throughout the country. It's chief purpose,
the Labor editorial states, lis to rivet on this
country, IN peace times, a system Of conscrip-
ton which goes farther than anything sug-
gested in any other country which even pre-
tends to be a democracy"
Labor points out that the bill-which
ostensibly carries a high and lofty ideal in
its preamble-doesn't take the profits out of
war. "Ihe best evidence that it does not
live up to its title is found in the fact that all
the war profteers are clamoring for it. If
they imagined for a moment" Labor CON
tinues, "that it would deprive them of their
blood-soaked profits they would fight it as
bitterly as the same interests opposed the
Presidents plan to %reorganize the Supreme
Court.
'They know it inSureS the profits of war
time industry. They also know that it places
in the hands of whoever may be Chief Execu-
tive when wal comes, authority to say to one
man: You must don a uniform and serve in
the trenches; to another, You must go into
a factory and I will fix your hours and
wages; and to still another, I will give you
a soft, safe berth where no harm can befall
YOU"
Labor terms as "%nonsensical' the idea that
as soon as the Gaps have %subjugated the Chi
nese, they will come across the Pacific and
gobble America. If Japan we're to wind up
its adventure in China tomorrow, and had it's
entire fleet and army available for an attack
on the United States, it could not cross the
Pacific with any hope of success" asserts the
labor weekly. Every sane military author
ity will acknowledge the truth of that state
ment."
The Brotherhoods sheet voices the opinion
Of a great majoriy of the people when it
states that 'instead of indulging in all this
vicious tomfoolery, the Congress and the
Executive should give their undivided atten-
ton to the problem of getting this country
out of the depression. That was the job the
American people had in mind when they re-
elected MIR. Roosevelt by an unprecedented
majority"

Picketing Embassies

For a number of years it has been the
practice of certain organizations in the
United States when they are offended by
something done in foreign countries to rush
forthwith to the capital of the nation and
march back and forth before the embassies
and legations carrying placards intended to
harass the representatives Of foreign govern
ments. A joint resolution just passed by
Congress definitely ends this type Of picket
ing"
Protests have frequently been made to the
U. S. state department asking that the picket

ing demonstrations be prohibited. 1t was
commended that unless the United States eX-
tends such reasonable protection to the rep
resentatives of other governments, we cam
not expect to receive adequate protection for
representatives of our government abroad.
The resolution seems broad enough to
cover all methods and devices usually re-
sorted to by pickets. 1t provides that it
shall be unlawful to display any flag, banner,
placard, or device designed or adapted to
intimidate, coerce, or bring into public odium
any foreign government, party, or organiza-
ton, or any officer or officers thereof, or to
bring into public disrepute political, social,
or economic acts, views, or purposes of any
foreign government, party, or organization,
or to intimidate, coerce, harass, or bring into
public disrepute any officer or officers or
diplomatic or consular representatives Of any
foreign government or to interfere with the
free and safe pursuit of the duties of any
diplomatic or consular representatives Of any
foreign government, within 500 feet of any
building or premises within the District of
Columbia used or occupied by any foreign
government or its representative or repre-
sentatives as an embassy, legation, consulate,
or for other official purposes, except by, and
in accordance with, a permit issued by the
superintendent of police of the said district;
or to congregate within 500 feet of any such
building or premises, and refuse to dispense
after having been ordered so to do by the
police authorities of the said district"
In view of the fact that the superintendent
of police of the District Of Columbia will
never even consider issuing an embassy
picketing permit, the picketing abuse is def
nitely stopped.
A fine not exceeding $10O and imprison-
ment not exceeding so days, or both fine and
Imprisonment, for violation of the statute
will tend to induce obedience to the statute.
