LABOR BOARDS LONG DELAY IN CASES
INVOLVING THE A. +. OF l..

IT was Bret Ilarte who said that:
''For ways that dark and for tricks that
are vain the heather Chinese is peculiar"
Brete Harte did not live to learn about the
National Labor Relations Board. If he had, he
would doubtless agree that the Chinese had no
monopoly on ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain.
The Board in giving reasons for one Of it's pc
culiar orders said:
CAS- a result of the filing of the charge 10y a
C. l. O. lawyer) the necessary investigation there
of and the consideration Of the appeal, period of
seventeen months has elapsed since the direction
of election was issued and almost fifteen months
since baIloting conducted.
Because Of this lapse of time, we deem it in
to count these ballots and issue a GER
tification based thereon, lest such certification
msrepresent the choice of the crews employed on
the vessels of the company at the present time"
To translate this order into plain language: An
election was held fifteen months ago abroad the
ships Of the Seatrain lines to determine whether
the crews wanted an A. f. of l.. or c. |. o. Union
The results evidently favored A. F. of l.. affia-
ton because c. |. O. lawyer filed protest. So
the Board, in its usual accommodating manner
whenever c. l. 0. lawyers file protest) held up
the counting of the ballots for fifteen months and
finally decided not to count them at all but to give
the G.. |. O. boys another chance in second cleo
ton

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS in LABOR
MOVEMENT

RECENT events in the labor movement of the
~ United States indicate significant tendencies.
In Detroit, a considerable fraction of the Auto
mobile Workers Union withdrew from the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations and established
an Independent union.
In Memphis, Tenn, the president and secretary
of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union announced
the withdrawal Of that organization from the
United Cannery, Agricultural Packing and Allied
Workers of America, an affiliate of the G.. |. o.
Communist control and dctatorial procedure were
included among the reasons for the withdrawal.
In Nanticoke, Pa, 500 members of Local S46
of the United Mine Workers of America voted to
Withdraw from the Congress of Industrial Organ
izations union and affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor.
In Hershey, Pa, employees of the Hershey
Chocolate Corporation voted overwhelmingly for
the Bakery and Confectionery Workers Interna-
tional Union Of America, an A. f. of l.. affiliate
aS their collective bargaining agent. The ballotng
was held under the auspices of the National La
Dor Relations Board Results showed the A. r
of H. union poed ,125 votes against 1873 for the
&C.. |. o. United Chocolate Workers.
In New York n. Y, the Joint board of the Bar
IberS and Beauty Culturists Union of America
voted to sever its affation with the G.. |. O. and
return to the American Federation of Labor
These events speak for themselves.

DICTATORS RESPONSIBLE FOR
ARM AMENTS

THE peace-oving instincts Of the masses every
where and the responsibility of the NaZi and
Fascists relationships for the tremendous sum be-
ing spent by democratic nations for defensive arm
amentS are emphasized by the New Zealand Trans
port Worker, the official organ Of the New Zealand
Federated WaterSde Workers.
"Nincty per cent Of the people Of the world de
sire to live in peace and harmony" the Transport
Worker says. "Nincty per cent opposed to
war, and the same ninety per cent do not see any
reason why they should quarrel with their fellow
man.
What then is the cause Of all the trouble
Why is it that we have weekly war scare and an
international crisis daily? Why is it that the news
papers of the world are so busy in this matter!
Why is it that thousands Of millions Of pounds are
spent each month nowadays in the manufacture OF
machinery and weapons for the sole purpose Of de
structon Of deienSeleSS people and possibly of civ

CHINESE SHOW NO WEAKENING
IN FACE OF JAPANESE DRIVE

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Study
of dispatches and maps and a visit at
the Chinese embassy in Washington
bring this:
Japan has more than 100000 men in
China, with perfect equipment of all
kinds. China has million men under
arms, with rifles and machine guns
and light artillery; but tanks and
heavy guns lacking.
The part of China occupied by Japan
normally contains between $50 and
200 million persons. Not less than 80
millions have gone west with their
armies. The rest are on a bare sub
sistence level, brutally treated, and
shot on the slightest provocation. No
despair is registered in China. De-
sertions are almost unknown.

|THE number of unemployed in the United States
is determined by estimates which vary accord
ing to the basis used by estimatOrs. With this in
mind it is instructive to note the method used in
Great Britain where the unemployment insurance
law covers larger number of occupations than
are included in the unemployment compensation
provisions of our Social Security Act.
In Britain the insured jobless are required to
register at the employment exchanges, where each
worker is given an unemployment book. At the
beginning of each insurance year these unemploy-
ment books must be lodged at the employment ex-
changes, where they are used as the basis for an
unemployment census.
There were altogether 1892, 800 workers
(aged IA to 6D insured against unemployment in
the latest insurance year, including those in the
Especial schemes and also the 221 ,27O brought
|wthin the scheme in April, 1888. Leaving these
latter out of the count, the comparable figures for
this year and last are 14,771 ,23O for 1937-38
|aganst ID, gil 900 in 1936-37; roughly an increase
|of IL per cent on the total
Of this years total of Ia 1922 800, those actual
lily in employment in mid-October numbered ap-
|proximately 1924 900. This is the estimated to-
|tal after deducting the registered applicants for
employment and making the customary allowance
for workers absent from employment through
sickness and other unrecorded forms Of unemploy-
Iment. The total at work is less by 100000 than
la year ago.
The number of workless persons on the regis
tiers of the employment exchanges in mid-OctOber
was 1,7S1 ,227. This is 390978 more than year
ago. Including the unemployed in Northern Ire
land the actual number of registered applicants
for work in mid-October was 1,88O,575, as COM
pared with 1460,08O the corresponding date
last year. an increase of practically 100000 in the
twelve months.

struction of human beings. War was never a
only have one result-the further ensavement of
mankind or the destroying of present civiliza-
ton.
During the last world war, we were told that
it was a fight to save democracy. The democratic
countries won the war, yet democracy is in greater
peril than ever. 1t seems to prove the statement
made by the pacifists the years down that wars
never won anything either for the conqueror or
those who were defeated.
"Yet the fact remains that the peaceful nations
of the world compelled to arm willy nilly. This,
of course, is due to the threat of power politics
made by European dictators. Democracy, there
fore, realizes the fact that it's liberties must be
defended and is agreed that the respective nations
that are defending democracy should arm for their
own defense and protection"

DOCTORS OFFER BILL FOR
LOW COST MEDICAL AID

Harrisburg, Pa. QLNS).-Bills to
provide medical attention for low in
come groups have been introduced by
three doctors who are members of the
state House of Representatives All
are approved by the Pennsylvania
State Medical Society.
The medical service, to cost about
81 month, is rather strictly limited !;
and is wound about with a good deal
of red tape. But it is just one more
evidence of the rising demand of the
poor for decent medical care.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

More than half the population of
the world is living in war, or in i'm
minent threat of war. Japan, China,
Spain, Italy are actually at war; most
of the rest of Europe and no small Sec
tions of Asia and Africa are expect
ing war.
Two contradictory signs as to which
way the dictator bandits will move
next have come. The annexation of
Czechoslovakia, the threats at Rou-
mania, the taking over of Memel, the
moving of German troops into the
eastern Carpathians - all indicated
that Hitler was keeping up his push
toward the east. 1t is the course which
he laid down in "Mein Kampf," which
the jingoes of Germany long before
the World War were advocating
But
The Fascist Council of Italy has
taken this occasion to declare Italy's
support of the annexation of Czecho-
slovakia, and to denounce the utter
ances and negotiations of other cap
itals as leading to war, Mussolini is
not doing this for nothing; and it is
not easy to believe that he is doing it
for a deferred payment. He wants
Tunis, not to mention Corsica and a
strip Of the French Mediterranean
coast. and he wants them now.
The French are so thoroughly exas-
perated by these pretensions, which
were indorsed by the Italian parlia-
ment some time ago, that they are
likely to make flat refusal.
Many Americans agree with Flor
ence Brewer Boeckel that as the con-
fusion in Europe grows greater, so
"also does the need for Americans
to think clearly and in terms of a few
simple facts that we know" She points
out that the struggle for imperial
ambitions which is wracking Europe
was going on long before this democ-
racy was founded" and adds:
"Should we permit ourselves to be
embroiled in it, it may be going on
long after this country ceases to ex-
list as democracy"
Mrs. Boeckel contends that Ameri-
can involvement in Europe's quarrels
would be futile and therefore foolish.
Incidentally, the Gallup poll recently
revealed American public sentiment
strongly against taking part in any
European war.
X X X
'The situation in Europe today"
Mrs. Boeckel says, approaches again
the situation of pre-war days when
the Austrian-Hungarian Empire was
intact and the close ally of Germany.
With what purpose then did the Amer
lean men die in the World War? We
succeeded in establishing the indepen-
dence of certain small nations but we
could not control the policies of the
European powers and force them to
carry out other parts of the American
program which would have made it
possible to preserve the independence
of these little nations.
Neither today, even by sacrificing
our young men to win a foreign vic
tory, could we bring about conditions
in Europe that would mean any kind
Of lasting peace. Only Europe can put
the European house in order. What is
happening today has long been proph-
esied by those who have urged policy
of adjustment among the great
European powers. Had policy of ad-
justment among the great powers been
followed, the small countries, as
statesmen in Czechoslovakia them
selves have said, would not have need
ed to be sacrificed"

|
What do they get out of it?
What interest have these Members
of Congress-
In keeping the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia hog-tied?
Why should Congress refuse to take
any interest
In self-government for the city of
Washington?
Why should this city, at the heart
of the federal government
Be allowed to become crime-ridden,
dangerous to live in?
While the people have to wait for
Congressional committee
To pass an ordinance letting them
dig sewer ditch?
X X X
The Constitution
Yes, it provides that Congress shall
legislate for the District
Very much as every state legisla-
ture has to legislate for cities
But that does not mean that some
back-woods congressman
Ought to pass on the qualifications
of Washington policemen
We had one nice mess of that sort
few years ago
Neither does it follow that paving
contractors
Should wait on some M. C. to get
action on Washington streets
Determining what the city govern
ment can do
That is legislation for the city's
business
Deciding how the city government
is to be administered
Is proper subject for legislative
action
But doing those things, carrying out
the program
Administration of the city's munich
pal affairs
That ought not to have float around
on some congressional whim--
X X X
No, it is not entirely the problem
of the colored vote, either
For in 1880 the negro population
was only 27.3 per cent of the whole
Suppose the Negroes did elect an
alderman
They are doing large part of the
necessary work
They have to pay corresponding
part of the taxes
They have some very capable rep
resentatives-
In business, professional, scientific
circles as we'll
They are probably the best fitted of
any city's Negro population
But that is not the real reason for
this anachronism-
1t cannot be the mere transient
character of public employees
There are upwards of 100000 peo-
pie living in Washington
A large section of these maintain
their voting rights elsewhere
Because that gives them political
toe-hold on their jobs
Naturally, the ones who would vote
would be those
Who are really local residents, with
local interests at heart
Who do not have, nor desire, any
other political home
Much Washington property is own
ed by non-residents--
Much of even resident property is
owned by corporations
Perhaps these would prefer to have
Congress run the show
Saving the expense of city govern
ment by the people
But Congress saddles the expense
on them anyway
X X X
OF course, Washington is pretty
far South
And in the South, cutting people out
of voting
One way or another, is quite a ia
miliar practice
For instance, Virginia has 1,3O0,-
1913 citizens over II years
About one-fourth of these are Ne
groes, male and female
But the number of voters in Vir-
ginia in 1886 was $1,000
They have to pay a poll-tax in Vir-
ginia in order to vote
Pro b b y southern congressman
would want to follow practice
Giving Washington citizens poll
tax right to vote, if any.
