Late Justice Card0zo
Saddened By Attacks
On Jews, Meeting Told

Washington, d. G. (ILNS) Judge
Irving Lehman of the New York State
Court of Appeals told a memorial as
semblage honoring the late Justice
Cardozo that the jurist's final days
were saddened by the knowledge that
"men who are his kin in blood and
spirit are being driven from their
homes"
Lehman, Cardozo's closest personal
friend, was the chief speaker at serv-
ices conducted in the Supreme Court
chamber
Cardozo's sadness at prosecutions
Of the Jewish race was tempered, said
Lehman, "by his confidence that Amer
lea would never abandon its great
ideals"
Lehman said that Cardozo felt that
"again Caesar pretending to speak in
the name Of God, is demanding that
men should render unto Caesar that
which is Gods"

NORRIS is AT 1T AGAIN

Senator Norris of Nebraska, the
only living man who has put through
an amendment to the U. S. Constitu-
tion, is considering the introduction
in the next Congress of a proposal he
has offered before, namely, that it
shall take a to vote in the Supreme
Court to invalidate any act of Con-
gress.
Labor has no objection to such a
change. In fact, the last minimum
wage law to be knocked out in the
court and the first railroad retirement
act met their death by vote of to 4

forms are on the statute books only

Anthony Eden had better be ready
with explanations in his speech be-
fore the National Association of Man
ufacturers on Democracy" The
N. A. M. doesn't know the meaning
of the word.
A speaker before the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce said the tax
collector is the chief enemy to pros
perity. If he will include the taxes
collected by the managers Of corpora
tions strong enough to fix prices, he
will not be far wrong.
The savage is pretty close to the
surface in most of us; witness our
American lynching parties. But never
before in a supposedly civilized land
has a government urged and encour-
aged its people in mob violence and
murder. That is what makes the
Nazi regime stand apart.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1888.
CIVIL SERVICE IN FEDERAL
RELIEF

There is no cause for surprise in the
fact that the Gallup poll shows 8
to / vote in favor of Harry Hopkins
proposal to put federal relief admin
istrative personnel under civil service.
There is ground for wonder that Dem
ocrats and Republicans, W. P A. work
ers and outside voters, vary only a
very few per cent. The explanation
is that three quarters of the American
people see that something like the
w. p A. is going to last a long time.
1t is an odd but enlightening fact
that of the 25 per cent who vote
against civil service, very large frac-
tion explains its vote by saying that
relief may not have to be permanent,
but putting it under civil service would
make it permanent" A somewhat
smaller fraction wants the whole re-
lief business turned over to local and
county officials. In other words, Uncle
Sam would furnish the money. for he
is the only person who can do it, and
the city and county bosses would dis
tribute it.
As for those who think that uni
versal and steady employment in pri-
vate industry are ''just around the
corner as certain ex-President used
to say of prosperity, they might as
well be left to their dreams. That
state of affairs is and should be our
goal; but no prophet can tell US when
it will be reached.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Under the French mobilization law,
all modified workers who refused to
tend their jobs would be tried for de-
sertion or insubordination by military
courts. AS soldiers, they would be
subject to long prison terms if found
guilty of such offenses. Those who did
not refuse would be receiving soldiers
pay and breaking their own strike.
Such fate awaits American work
ers if the Industrial Mobilization Plan
Of the War Department which has
been drafted carefully over period
of years is permitted to go through
Congress, many labor men fear. Pro-
viding for draft of manpower be-
tween the ages of 18 and 81, the plan
seemingly would regiment labor and
would set up controls over the entire
country tantamount to a military die
tatorship. Several attempts to enact
sections of the plan through the Hill
Sheppard and May blllS nave met with
defeat but there is no assurance that
they will not be reintroduced in Con-
gress next year.
Should that be tried, the recent hap
penings in France stand out as warn
ing to American workers that they
must fight against any attempt to leg
islate civilian mobilization plans in
peacetime, trade unionists say. Adop-
ton by Congress of the War Depart
ment's Industrial Mobilization Plan
in whatever form it may take, must be
vigorously opposed and prevented
they contend.

admit.
1t is pretty sure to be revised as time
goes on. Part of the revising is likely
to be done in the coming session. La

in other laws will be sought.
If members of both parties got to-
gether and agreed on what revision
seemed best at this time and what new
legislation was needed, there would be
progress with least effort.
Of course they will not agree on
many things but there are some things
they can agree on.

BUY UNION
LABEL GIFTS
'sThe Better the Day-the Better
the Deed"
By /. M. ORNBURN,
Secretary Treasurer A. f. of L. Union
Label Trades Department

Secretary Treasurer A. f. of L. Union
Label Trades Department
HTHY NOT dedicate the holiday
w shopping season this year to
the great cause of the union label?
What could be more appropriate than
to devote our time to urging Xmas
shoppers to buy only union-made gifts
and patronize only union services?
This action would certainly be in ac-
cord with the spirit of the season, for
as great divine recently said. what
can be more sacred, more holy, and
more deserving than the union label,
which signifies that human life has
been more highly valued in the produc-
tion of commodities than mere profit
sought by greed? The union label is
an emblem of justice, of fraternity,
and of humanity"
When you see the union label on any
product it is message from the work
ers of the factory in which the goods
are made that they were manufactured
under humane conditions by men and
women who work for decent wages
during reasonable hours. 1t is the
best guarantee that the product is not
made by child labor. 1t is an assur-
ance that fathers and mothers earn
enough to support their children, edu-
cate them, and also allow them to en-
joy fresh air and sunshine instead of
shaving in sweatshops. 1t is insurance
for healthy and useful citizens.
The human element in our society is
more important than profits. When
one patronizes those firms that display
the union label, shop card and button,
he is raising the standards of all
American workers. Organized labor
advocates many of the ideals which
the Carpenter of Nazareth taught in
His day.
When workers gather in the family
circle at Christmas time to distribute
presents, they should be sure that they
are union-made. 1t will give them
greater enjoyment. Many practical
and worthwhile products, upon which
the union label is displayed, can be
purchased.
There is no method through which
better times can be brought to Amer
lea than through the buying of union
label and American-made products. 1t
will keep our money in our own land
1t will increase employment. 1t will
raise wages. 1t will better the condi-
tions Of every worker 1t will increase
purchasing power. 1t will reduce tax
alton for relief purposes. In general,
it will bring a more permanent pros
perity to America.
Surely, these are worthy reasons
why every purchaser during Christmas
shopping season should patronize only
those firms that display the union
label, shop card and button.

THE UNION LABEL TELLS

The wage-hour act does not require
goods to be given label showing that
they have been made in accordance
with this law. Most people knew this
already; but statement from the of
fee of the administrator of the act
should remove all doubts. And this
statement certifies once again to the

service which the union label trades
are rendering to the cause of decent
wages and working conditions.
Goods bearing a union label do not
need another label that they are made
in compliance with the wage-hour act.
The union label proves that, and more.
Unions, where they had the power, an
ticipated the law, and went beyond it
years ago.

The strike of French workers as a
protest against the policies of the gov
ernment has failed more completely
than even the correspondents on the
ground believed possible. For this,
there are three main reasons.
First and foremost, the patriotism
Of French workers; and their keen ap-
probation of the dangers to their
country in the present situation OF
Europe.
Second, the power vested in the
French government to call strikers to
the colors; and thereby shift their al
legiance from union or party to mill
tary officers. Many years ago, a rail
road strike in France was broken in
this fashion; and Premier Daladie1
used it here. Those workers engaged
in hospitals and in transporting food
were expressly exempted from the
strike call.
Third, the French workers have not
been able, as yet, to agree on pro
gram of reform. They agree pretty
well on what they don't want; but they
are not united on the practical ques-
tions of what they do want and what
they will call for first.
When the French railroad strike wa:
broken half a generation ago, the gov
ernment in power was wise enough tx
grant the strikers shortly afterwart
most of the benefits they had sough
to win by striking. 1t is devoutly tt
be hoped by every worker in ever.

same wisdom, in even larger degree.

Investigation is popularity called the

ings of the whole economic system
would be studied by his group, COM
posed of six members of Congress and
six members of the national admin
istration.
Some order, that. What will the
investigators do with it?
If the monopoly" investigators are
out to present factual picture of
what is going on in the industrial and
business world, they can be of great
service to the nation, even to the world
If they are out to prove particular
theory or thesis, the inquiry might
easily turn out to be quite largely a

Kossarev was not very bright.
He should have known that the only
guy in Russia who can tell everyone
his word is law is Dictator Joseph

 Perhaps the lack of things helped 10 foster young Hans im- agination as he passed his infancy. At any rate he early showed a disposition to shift for himself.
