AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-Enemy shots
fell on American soil for the first
and only time of the war. Some of
the shells aimed by the U-156 at the
tug Perth Amboy off Cape Cod hit
Nanset beach. For nearly a month
now German submarines had been
operating continuously off the Anne
rican coast without the Navy being
able to stop them. The tug was burn
ed, it's four barges sunk.
The number of States that had bar
red German instruction in schools
and German language newspapers
reached 25.
Germans evacuated ChateauT hier-
ry. and French and United States
troops took possession of it. The
scissors offensive had pushed We
enemy four miles beyond the Marine,
and the gains were continuing stead
lily.

furloughed by the Pennsylvania Railroad IN
December, 1897.
The furlough brings up the question OF the
seniority rights of railroad workers when
their employment is changed from one
branch of railroad work to other branches.
The length of services of the thirty-two
employees who brought the suit ranged from
twenty-one to forty-six years. Nevertheless,
they were laid off, it is stated, following a
ruling made by the National Mediation Board
that their seniority ratings dated only from
1882. because, several years prior to 1857,
they had been transferred from their original
departments to other departments OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad system. 1t seems that
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad held
that the seniority rating date of 1882 justified
the furlough despite the many years OF serv-
ice which the employees had rendered the
railroad previous to 1882 in other depart
ments.
The Philadelphia suit is said to be the first
case of its kind in the United States, and the
outcome is expected to have a far-reaching
effect on the seniority status of hundreds OF
thousands of railroad employees.

What's Unfair About This Record?

The Wagner Labor Relations Act is part
of the law of the land. It even has the bless
ing of the Supreme Court and is therefore
admitted to be law by corporation attorneys,
who do not regard mere acts OF Congress
alone as having full statutory force. YET,
because it is a law that is basic to the prob
lem of capital-labor relationships, 1t still
arouses angry snarls and groWls when en-
forcement is attempted.
The report of Gilmore NJ. Herrick, New
York Regional Director, on the workings OF
the act in that district sets at rest the charges
of arrant unfairness.
Of 52 representation cases Involving the
question of which union was to represent
workers) So per cent were settled informally
and amicably, without elections.
Of 1863 unfair-labor practice cases Charges
against employers of interference with col
lective bargaining) 80 per cent were adjust
ed to the satisfaction of workers and employ
err: 1858 per cent were dismissed by the re-
pional director as without basis; only 1877
per cent have gone to trial before an exam
iner. Settlements without formal proceed
ings are now running at the rate of 58.6 per
cent of the volume Of cases received-With
many employers willing to cooperate and
obey the law.
The A. F. of L. secured satisfactory settle
ment without formal proceedings in SOL per
cent of its cases; the G. I. Q. in 6l.5 per cent.
No favoritism is visible. 1t is very hard on
the basis of these figures to paint the National
Labor Relations Board as a r%avening monster
out to kill the A. F. Of L. for the sake OF the
C. l.. o., or out to slaughter private business
for the sake Of either.

Myth of High Wages Is Revived

There is a lot of foolish talk about the
ohigh wages" paid American workers. Some
of it comes from men in high places who
should know better than to indulge in such
unfair and misleading comment.
Even in the building trades, the principal
target of attack and where hourly rates are
above the general average, 80 per cent OF the
skilled workers would feel they had had a
GOOD year" if their annual wage totalled
$4,000.
VIII anyone in his right mind contend
that a worker can live decently, provide
food and shelter for his family, education
for his children, meet the devastating
cost of illness, and lay aside a few dol
lars for old age on less than $4,000 a
year?
Of course not. Most of the men who in
dulge in this silly high-wage talk would feel
thew were being wretchedly treated it they
were forced to exc out an existence on Sl0,-
600 a year, but they shrek panic" if some
union. as a result of negotiations with its
employers, succeeds in getting from 81 to 81
an hour in a seasonal trade, where a man
may work for one week and lay off for two.
"Ah! But the remedy is an annual wage
urges the theorist, who probably never did
a real days work in his life. An annual
wage, if it were sufficiently high, would, Of
course, be a good thing, but no one-not
even the President Of the United States
has up to date told us how this much-talked-
about annual wage may be secured.
Wages are not high enough-that's the
simple truth. That's why We are in this
slump. The masses of our people, farmers
and industrial workers alike, lack the buying
power needed to keep the wheels Of industry
revolving. Wages must go up, not doWn
Hours must be shortened, not heightened
The labor movement is adamant on that
There will be no compromise.-Labor

CATHOLIC PRINCE
APPEALS FOR AID
TO L0YALET SPAIN
BY SALLY ABBOTT

SWARTHMORE, Pa. - (FP) Il
Every good Catholic must be on
the side of Republican Spain"
These are not the words of an
officer of the loyalist army or an
official of the Spanish government.
They are the firm conviction of a
Catholic nobleman who is himself a
voluntary exile from Germany, the
land of his birth.
Speaking to an audience of more
than 500 Swarthmore undergradu-
ates and faculty members, this man
Of royal blood, Prince Hubertus zu
Loewenstein, now visiting this coun-
try as a Carnegie lecturer, begged
his listeners to do everything in
their power to help the brave Span
ish people in their heroic fight
against invading Fascists and Moors.
"The fight in Spain today is the
most important problem which con-
fronts the entire Catholic world"
said Prince Loewenstein. There
fore l as a Catholic went to Spain.

it is their duty to help Republican

The WASHINGTON
scene
By HENRY ION
Federated Press

WASHINGTON. - (FP) Out of
every twelve people in the country,
at least n is able and willing to
work but without the chance to do
so. Such is the indication of the
official unemployment census cas-
ually taken,
These 10, 000,0 900 people, able, will
ing and eager to work if given the
chance, are approximately one-
fourth of all those engaged in United
States manufacturing industries, ac-
cording to Department of Labor sta
~tistics. 1t is, by far, in excess of the
combined number Of people required
to make all our steel, all our auto
mobiles, all our cloth, mine all our
coal, build all houses and make
all our clothes.
Yet a number of people sufficient
to produce all the essentials of life,
excepting food, are without work.
The logical assumption would be that
they are without work because there
is a sufficient quantity of clothes,
houses, automobiles, and fuel.
But in this case there is apparently
a different logic at work. These
millions are out of work because
there is not enough of these prod
ucts. They are out Of work because
as figures soon to be published by
the government will show, 80 per
cent of the population has incomes
of $3.50 a year or under and r I'm.
able to buy those things that they
need.
Until these people can buy wha'
they need the men, sufficient il
number to produce far more thar
is needed, who are able and willing
to work will be kept in idleness. Al
long as they r kept in idleness thu
people who need the goods the idl'
men can make will be unable to bu.
such goods.
The point has been made offer
and it is not the intention here t.
labor it. In the coming months Their
will be much palaver about unem
ployment, its cause and cure. TIL,
reactionaries will say that the an
swer is to increase production Will
the administration will reply tina
increased wages and shorter hour
will reduce unemployment.
AS for the unemployed themselve
the chief question will be "Whet
can we get back to work." The an
swer of the r~eactionaries is, CAS- 500
as production is increased" TIL
answer of the administration i
"Wait until we can discipline GU
followers, pass the wages and hour
bill, then four months for the bi
to 60 into effect and then an ur
determined number of months unit
the economic effects of the measu1
will be felt"
Patience, say the philosophers,
a great virtue. These same philost
piers admit that patience is almo
impossible to achieve on an empt
stomach. They cannot expect ont
twelfth of the nation to achieve tt
impossible.

Amazing is, perhaps, the most de-
scriptive word to apply to the cur
rent struggle between Henry Ford,
the individual, and the United States
government, representing over 40
million individuals.
The spectacle is presented of one
man and the government fighting on
approximately equal terms, each
commanding approximately the same
power. The 100 million individuals
say "This is the law while the one
individual, named Henry Ford, says
Il don't believe it"
The last time Henry Ford defied
the government he got away with it,
by the grace of the Supreme Court.
AT present the Supreme Court has
abandoned its defiance of the 100
million, leaving Henry to go it alone.
How far he will get without the
Supreme Court is an interesting
question that the future will answer.

For a long time the cry for unity
between farmer and worker has been
one which was confined to the mi
nority, to those who undertook the
unpopular and difficult task of try
ing to wrest political control for the
corporate managers and place in the
hands of the majority of the people,
Today the doctrine that between
farmers and workers there exists
strong bond of economic interest Is
commonly accepted,
In his annual report Secretary Of
Agriculture Henry Wallace stressed
the relationship between farm prices
and income and industrial produc'
ton and wages. In his annual mes
sage of Congress on January 5
President Roosevelt appealed to agrl
cultural leaders to aid in the passage
of wages and hours legislation as
matter of enlightened ~self-interest
Numerous evidences point to the con
clusion that the bond between thu
two producing groups is growing
The wrestling of political contro
from the hands of the corporal
managers remains to be accom-
plished as the logical result.

More than 1000 feet of film in
multiplane technicolor tell the story
of Snow White, the wicked queen,
the seven dwarfs and the prince
who loved her. The picture is
made in its entirety from drawings
animated into living action, but
with the exception of the dWarfs,
there is little of caricature in It,.
Snow White herself is charming
little person with a beautiful sing
ing voice which delivers four of
the eight songs in the picture.
Snow White and the Seven

over a period of three years. Since
its release it has been the sub
ject of discussion in newspaper
editorial columns, news columns
and cartoons, as well as in numer-
Gus national magazines,
