HIGHWAY DEATH AND MANNERS
(FrOm Father Meets Son."
by j. p. McEyOy)

1t doesn't matter so much if you
are walking down the street and you
are rude enough to push someone
aside; but if you are rude enough to
push him aside with a 3-ton motor
going 60 miles an hour, you'll kill him.
You can elbow your way through a
crowd, If you are impolite, and do no
damage at all. But when you elbow
your way through traffic with your
bad manners stepped up a hundred
horsepower, you're bound to do lot
OF damage to a lot of innocent people.
Ror every accident caused by high
speeding, there are a thousand caused
by low breeding. Is it coincidence that
the nation which leads in fatalities
lags in formalities? The American
may not be the most uncivil citizen
on two feet, but he is certainly the
prize terror on four wheels.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hdtchet Out
The Truth
. BEAT THE DEPRESSION
. BUY UNION LABEL
. SEE THE EXHIBITION
. GIVE THANKS

How can union workers help in the
fight against depression?
For it is depression and may be
here for a prolonged stay.
All hope it won't, but reason says
to prepare for the worst.
What to do?
ILNS editorial way back in November
told of some things even an individual
worker could do, to protect his own
interests and those of his fellow
workers.
First of course, comes earnest,
continuous support of ones union
and of the labor movement as
whole.
This means attending all meetings
and supporting all union activities.
This support, to be most effective,
must include support of the labor
press.
High in Importance to labor, NOW
AND ALWAYS, comes support of
union label goods and services.
Buying union label goods and SER
vices strengthens organized labor
and enables it to weather depression
with minimum of weakening.
Buying union labeP' helps to keep
up purchasing power Of organized
workers and nation and to maintain
good working standards.
Union label buying is getting a big
boost from the A. F. of L. Union La
bel and Industrial Exhibition, at Con-
cinnati, May 16 to 21.
This exhibition is focusing national
attention on union products.
In this connection, why not get to-
gether party for trip to the exhi-
bition?
Cincinnati is easy to reach. 1t has
fine railroad, bus, electric, airplane
and highway transportation facilities.
Eight big railroad lines, 81 divisions
use it's new railway station, one of
the finest in the world, famous for
beauty as we'll as utility.
A trip to the exhibition will be a
revelation to every label booster.
1t will equip visitofs with potent

paging back home.
Visits by union labor delegation
from every city in the land would be
vastly helpful to unionism.
Central bodies which encourage and
help such visits will benefit in days to
come.
Not SO easy to get the money for
trip anywhere.
But it can be done.
Labor is used to sacrifice and can
sacrifice for sending delegates to the
Cincinnati exhibition, despite hard
times.
Which brings us right back to the
depression.
Lots of things seem to head up to
the depression. 1t can't be escaped.
1t can be faced, with courage and
determination.
Courage will help labor, business,
every group in the nation.
There are signs the nation is re-
gaining its courage.
In the meantime, we have at least
one thing to be thankful for.
We are not called upon here to pay
taxes such as the staggering load
which Great Britain is imposing on
it's people to pay for armaments.
That is a favoring circumstance to
Uncle Sam in fighting and licking
Old Man Depression.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Hitler has made it clear that
Czechoslovakia is the next country
marked for Nazi conquest; and this
is a matter of the widest world inter-
est. Czechoslovakia is the one island
of liberalism in Central Europe. 1t
has liberal form of government, uni
versal suffrage - women included,
never even has squinted toward dicta-
torship; and critics of dozen nations
have declared Thomas G. Masaryk,
Czechoslovakia's first president, the
wisest statesman of the last half CEN
tury.
Yet this country, much of the news
and sure to be more so, is little
in the textbooks. It seems we'll to
put together a summary Of facts
about the country and people.
x X 4
Czechoslovakia is a country of not
quite $4,000 square miles-almost
exactly the size of the state of Iowa.
On the map, it looks like wedge
which boy has whitfield out Of wood,
thick end to the west. 1t is entirely
inland; it's commerce reaches the out
er world chiefly by three rivers which
touch it's territory: the Danube, flow
ing to the Black Sea; the Elbe, to the
North Sea; and the Oder, to the Bal
tic. All these streams have been in
ternationalized so far as commerce is
concerned; and Czechoslovakia, one of
the most highly industrialized coun-
tries in Europe, has plenty of COM
merce.
The population is about 100000
and belongs to three groups. The
Czechs and Slovaks outnumber all the
others, and are practically unit in
the present crisis. The Ruthenians,
in the thin eastern end of the wedge,
asked to be put in the new republic
at the Versailles conference; and
seem satisfied with their choice. Then
there are about 100000 German
speaking people, some of the descend
ants of German immigrants, some the
result of a Germanizing campaign of
centuries.
Bohemia, the largest single part of
the present republic, was crushed by
the Imperialists in the 3O-years war,
in November, 162O-a few weeks be-
fore the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Rock. The land was confiscated for
foreign adventurers, and the people
largely reduced to serfdom. They be-
gan the revival of their national spirit
during and after the Napoleonic wars;
but Masaryk was the son of serf
and missed being born to serfdom
himself only by year or so.
The Czechs and Slovaks were bit
terly opposed to the attack by Aus
tria- Hungary on Sebria, which opened
the World War; and though forced to
the battlefield, wherever possible they
refused to fight. One regiment from
Prague went bodily over to the
Russians, even to the bafe. No Czech
or Slovak soldier was allowed to have
white handkerchief, lest he should
make signals with it to the enemy
but they went over the lines by tens
of thousands. The Czechoslovakia
legion was the flower of the Russian
army; and when Russia quit the war
between 10000 and $4,000 Czechs ano
Slovaks marched across Russia anc
Siberia to Vladivostock in the most
astounding trek in all history. Some
of them got back to Europe through
the Suez and Panama anals; quite q
number went through Canada, and one
batch stopped at Norfolk on then
way.

BARGAINING FOR FEDERAL
BUSINESS RELATIONS

'eed7 THROUGH the National Labor Relations ActI
,co nl sponsored by Senator Wagner, the Federal
has assured to workers the right to
'r thion membership for the purpose Of collective
rganing. This right is assured because it is the|
4. ly way workers can do those things necessary
tol advance their interests. TO supplement the|
purpose of the law guaranteeing the right to col
lective bargaining in private employment, SenatorI
Wagner recently introduced measure provding|
guarantees of collective bargaining in contracts|
made by the Federal Government or any of itsl
agencies and in making any loans or grants oil
federal funds.
In the business world, the purchases of the|
Federal Government very considerable fac
tor This measure would bar as ineligible to SUCH
contracts any employer unwilling to comply with
(a) all certifcations of representatives, orders,
and decisions issued by the Board pursuant to the
National Labor Relations Act (49 Stat. 449), inI
any proceeding before the Board under said Act
to which such contractor, subcontractor, other
person has been or may be party; and that (bl
4hey will not engage in any unfair labor practice
defined in Section 8 of the National Labor Re-
lations Act and will comply with any certiication
OF the representatives of their employees by the
Board, regardless of whether such contractor sub
contractor, other person is otherwise subject
to the provisions of said Act. Penalties are pro-
vided for breaches of such contracts.
1t is further provided that the avoWed public
policy of the United States shall be controlling
policy in making grants loans of federal funds
Federal agency shall make such grants or loans
conditioned upon the pledge of the person in his
own behalf and in behalf of his agents and sub
salaries and all persons participating directly
r indirectly to comply with the certifcaton, orders
d. and decisions of the National Labor Relations
m Board not to engage in any unfair labor practice
in defined in the National Labor Relations Act and
to submit any question of representation to the
g g Board
: The Comptroller General recently ruled that
government contracts could not be refused per-
sons on the ground that they had violated the
National Labor Relations Act or refused to comply
with the orders of the National Labor Relations
Board Obviously this state of affairs leads to dis
respect for the law and is intolerable. Senator
Wagners bill provides the legislative remedy.
In recent months unions have vainly protested
the granting of national funds to employers who
defy the spirit and the letter of the law guaran-
teeing the right to organize to their employees.
Wage-earners feel that such state of affairs
amounts to practical endorsement of law break
ing.
In addition the Wagner bill would extend the
guarantee of right to collective bargaining to all
grants, loans and contracts irrespective of whether
not their industry is included by the interstate
commerce law
