The deepest darkness precedes
the dawn.
Bear that statement in mind.
Otherwise, the serious rather
than the ridiculous aspects be-
come paramount in the action
of the National Labor Relations
Board in a case at Catlettsburg,
Kentucky.
Briefly, here is what the La
Dor Board is trying to do:
Find the American Rolling
Mill Company ARMCO) guilty
of violating the labor act be-
cause of its refusal to hire a
young man and to force the
company:
To pay this young man back
wages for two years for work
he would have performer IF the
company had hired him when
he applied for a job.
1t is all as simple as that.
ARMCO did not hire the young
man. The Labor Board thinks
it should have. ana contends
the company should pay the
young man for Aork never per-
formed.
In making this demand the
Board passed over THESE ques-
tons
What amount to pay the
young man.
Would his pay have increased
in two years and, If so, how
much of a raise would he have
earned?
What about his social secur-
ity?
The charge brough by the
Labor Board IS that ARMCO re-
fused to hire the young man
because his father was a MEM
Der of the CLIO; that its action
in refusing to hire him was de-
signed to lntlmldate men from
joining the CLIO, and that it
therefore constitutes a dlScrlm-
nation and interference with
the right of self organization.
Here is an excerpt from the
official report of the CatletJs-
burg case.
Trial Examiner Bokat: =
Is it the Boards contention that
Harold Kirkman is seeking en-
ployment and the Board is seek
ing an order directing the re-
SpOndent to hire Harold Kirk
man if you sustain the allega-
lions of the complaint in re-
gard to Harold Klrkman?
Mr.. Gordon Labor Board At
torney): We are seeking relief
to the full extent of the Ma
tiOnal Labor Relations Act for
Harold kirkman. We are seek
ing affirmative relief for Har-
old Kirkman because Of the dis
examination against him.
MIR. PetzhOld (ARMCO AttOr-
ney): Do I understand the
Boards attorneys conte>d that
they can seek and order asking
this company to hire Harold
kirkman; is that it?
MI. Gordon: And, if the Board
finds it advisable, to pay Har-
old Kirkman back pay for the
two years he has not been en-
ployed by the company.
Mr. Petzold: If this is Mr..
Gordon's Interpretation of the
act, we are willing to let the
record stand just as it is on his
statement. That is the most ri
diculouS statement I ever heard.
We can have every relative of
a CLIO man offer a complaint

to the dictator's hatred Of freedom, I"
Mr.. Kerensky explained "Capitalists
hslpsd ths Naxis and Fascists come
to power and now arr living in fear
for Themselves"
The. roofing Of II three dicta-
torial systems in the war of l0l4-l0
and the consequent destruction Of
the masses faith in existing order
and tn security of the future was
discussed at length.
MAN feels sure Of hin,self now
only when he is marching with others
under the command of leaders," Mr..
Kerensky declared. Man Is dynamic.
In Moscow. Berlin and Rome you can
witness demonstrations, military pa
rades, dazzling shows and pageants. -
Lenin was the father and teacher
Of all modern relationships, which
are one in their employment Of
physical violence and moral terror, he
added.
The current Moscow trials were
treated as evidence Of dislOcati0n IN
the B0lshevist system. and the con-
fessions' marking them have been
merely attempts by the prisoners to
buy escape from the executioner, Mr..
Kerensky believes.
Difference In Strategy.
"T'he difference between Stain and
Trotsky does not arise from q differ
ence Of opinion" he said. but from .
difference In tactics and strategy.
Trotzky would blow up democracy i'm
mediately with strikes and armed re-
volt. Stain would establish unity
with the western democracies and in
sure himself against q war which he
considers premature.
"The anti Communist bloc Is hast
ening this war by its own militaristic
momentum. Germany, Japan and
Italy are working for the benefit Of
Stain as q future leader Of world
revolution"
That there must be reforms within
the democracies also was indicated
with the assertion that to-day 1t Is
the turn Of the laboring classes to
rise to political consciousness.
"Democracies must introduce bold
socia! and political reforms. The
modern law must proclaim not only
political equality, but social equality
as well, and to every man must be
granted social conditions which will
make him feel equal to every other" "

.KERENSKY SCORES
DICTATOR RULE
Appeals for United Front OF
~
All Peace-Loving
Nations.

Intellectual Washington turned out
en- masse last night to hear Alexander
F. Kerensky, ex-premier Of Russia,
warn Town Hall that American public
opinion must mobilize the forces for
world democracy or face a new world
war.
Nearly 1000 persons crowded the
Rialto Theater to overfiowing to catch
the words Of the man who ruled Russia
for four months before the November,
1917, revolution which brought the
Bolshevists to power.
The speaker displayed an abhor-
renee for microphones which increased
hearing difficulties for those seated
in distant parts OF the auditorium.
After gravely putting aside the instru-
ment as he was introduced, he later,
without halting his speech. removed
the lapel microphone attached by
Huston Thompson, presiding. In re-
sponse to appeals from the audience.
Mr.. Kerensky's plea for union OF
all the freedom and peace-loving peo-
pies of the earth against dictatorship
centered about the affinity he ascribed
to Fascism, Naziism and Communism
in spite Of theological differences.
"All three great relationships" he
said, were born of war. live by war,
and strive to achieve their goals by
war. Peace is impossible as long as
the world Is divided between dicta-
torship and democracy"
Isolation Dangerous.
Although assuring Americans that
their democracy will never be SUBJ
ject to serious attack, the Russian
former statesman warned that the
principle of isolation Is dangerous
illusion, and that the citizen Of any
democracy is not doing his part II
he closes his eyes to events In other
parts OF the world.
"The dictatorial states are attack
ing democracy from all sides and
democracy seems paralyzed. Instead
of resisting this threat it is engaged
in internal conflicts. The totalitarian
states are taking advantage Of this
morbid collapse. as is evidenced by
Stain urging q democratic front
throughout the world. The Com
munists have Trojan horse In the
ranks of democracy"
The marshalling Of public opinion
in every country was Mr.. Kerensky's
solution Of the problem. although he
specified that he opposed rearmament
Understanding Is Urged.
American capitalists and workers
were urged to understand the real
nature of fascism and communism
| in order to avoid fostering either
/ theology in this country.

day.
4 series of informal conferences be-
tween Secretary Hull, chief of the
limited States delegation, and heads
of the Latin American group demon
strated that they were taking Presi-
dent Roosevelts proposals with deep
seriousness. Some among the Latin
American ENJOYS believed the confer
ence could enact concrete measures
AGAINST political and cultural invasion
from Europe, but it appeared that Sec

way gradually and cautiously.
BY the series of talks he began last
night shortly after his arrival. the
secretary was said to be sounding out
the attitude of all the other delega-
tions before deciding to present any
specific project for a united hemis-
phere. American delegates limited that
Mr.. Hull might refrain from offering
anv project to the conference unless
he could get unanimous agreement

100000 Germans
Would Come Here

Washington, Dec. 8.-(AP)--GOv-
eminent officials have received in
formation that there are now near
ly 100000 persons awaiting permits
sion to migrate to the United
States from Germany. They attri-
butte the pressure to the new anti
Semitic laws in that country. Near
ly 80 percent of the German APP
plicants for admission to the Unit
ed States are reported to be Jews.
The flood of applications is the
greatest since passage of the pre-
sent immigration laws in 1924. In
asmuch as regulations permit only
1880 Germans to enter annually,
it would take eleven years to work
through the present waiting list,
provided all are accepted. The Ger
man quota will be filled this year
for the first time since 1929.
