mo man has mortgage on the
labor movement" Dubinsky said.
"The labor movement is not the
property of any individual or gorup,"
he added.
These are the truest words spoken
by any labor man in a long time.
The man or group who fails to heed
the truth of Dubinsky's words is in
for trouble-and plenty of it.
The labor movement exists for the
vast body of its membership and not
for any particular man, men, group
or groups.
Dubinsky had one man in mind
when he made his remark.

American labor is democratic and

SHORTS

German censors have turned back
books containing some of President
Roosevelt's speeches on the ground
that they are undesirable litera-
ture. From Nazi point of view, they
are right.
Some men are fighting the anti
lynching bill as an invasion of states
rights. Can you beat that? You
can. Some other opponents say there
is no need of a federal law because
lynchings are gradually declining.
Those lynched during the decline are
not supposed to count.
Lammot du Points talk about the
fog" of uncertainty and his call for
the absolute certainty of business
about what the government will do
in taxing is a family trait. At the
height of the depression, the head Of
the du Pont family would not take
the chairmanship of one of Hoover's
relief committees until assured that
there would be no increase in income
taxes.

East Liverpool Machinists
Cancel CIO Affiliation

East Liverpool, Ohio (AFLNS)-
Growing dissatisfaction on the part of
workers with CIO hot air and limited
progress is held to be reflected in the
action of East Liverpool machinists.

best conditions they were able to OBJ
tain as a Go affiliate, a group Of
machinists applied for and were
granted charter by the international
Association of Machinists, old-estab-
lished A. f. of L. union.

ident of the new group, with Harry
Holland, recording secretary, and Ira

by the Hudson Motor Car Co, has
been followed by two of the Big

Chrysler has given notice that ap-

earlier in December and during No

the progress of the U. S. housing au-
thority is held up by inability Of many
communities to raise 10 per cent of
the cost Of housing projects.
M. Green made the excellent sug-
gestion that the 10 per cent provision
be waived or changed to speed up the
housing program He told the COM
mittee he was informed Senator
Wagner proposed to introduce an
amendment to the housing act dras-
tically reducing the requirement for
10 per cent local participation IN the
cost Of public housing.
In my opinion" the A. f Of Z.
head said, this is a very important
amendment-one which should be
given prompt action BY congress as
soon as it is introduced BY waving
the requirement for local partieipa
zion in the next few years, the public
housing program would make it pos
sible in large number of eommuni-
tics to begin building without delay
and to make the program a reality
at a time when the need is greatest" /"

Octavian Goga, new Fascist premier
of Rumania, says that his plan is to
expel from the country more than
100000 Jews.
1t is a fitting and proper statement
for Fascist to make; and the word
Fascist" in this case usually in
cludes Nazi. For the distinguishing
fact about Fascism and Nazism is
their total lack both of moral sense
and common sense.
Mussolini and Hitler both gained
power by fraud and violence; and both
have held it by terrorism and mur-
der. The records are clear. Hitler
even 'purged" his own followers of
possible opponents, not by trying them
and proving them guilty of anything;
but by sending bandits to murder
several hundred suspected" !" per-
sons in one night.
But the lack of common sense is
almost as conspicuous as the lack Of
moral sense. Merely noting the fact
that every Fascist regime has lowered
its peoples living standards, consider
the utter stupidity of prosecutions
like this one promised by Goga.

sYv Where with our
700 Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pre-
feundly, sometimes aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

IN his Jackson Day speech, Presi-
dent Roosevelt had some fun with the
"autocratic" minority of business
which he accuses of evil-doing but he
is not wasting time on windy denun-
ciation
He realizes that in the present in
dustrial decline he is up against a
tough situation and he is doing some
thing about it.
To this end, he is conferring with
business leaders, labor heads and
others
And some of the business leaders
he has seen have been among his
eaustic critics. He sees that to get
out Of the industrial slough of de-
spond, the help of all is necessary,
whether or not they agree with him.
Last week this column suggested
cooperation between labor, manage
ment and government might help more
to put men back to work than talk.
The president evidently is Of the
same mind
William Green made a clear, con-
vincing analysis of the present stu
alton in a statement before a senate
committee investigating unemploy-
ment and relief
He traced the decline and its causes
and outlined the course of action pro.
posed by labor
Mr. Green didn't do any verbal fist
shaking. He knows that won't put
men back to work
He made constructive suggestions
for dealing with the slump and EN-.
phasized that prompt and effective
action is imperative
He piked the claim that increased
prices were due alone to wage in.
Hcreases and made it plain the Ameri.
can Federation Labor will stand like
a rock against wage cuts.
That Mr.. Green understands labor's
temper is proved by the stand against
pay slashes taken by unions every
where. They remember the wage cuts
Of the 1929 depression years did moi
help sick industry and they don't want
any Of this fake remedy now.
