Thumbs Down on Fingerprinting

Thumbs Down on FingerprlntIng
In North Dakota the WPA has
Just granted $11,945 for a project to
fingerprint voluntarily all people
in the state. A similar sum is being
put up by the Natl. Junior Chamber
of Commerce in what it calls a test
campaign" A Bismarck banker,
chairman of the campaign, expects
the state to be a proving ground for
adoption of a definite civil identifi-
cation plan on a nationwide basis.
In New York City an order has
gone out for fingerprinting of 10000
WPA workers. The excuse was to
prevent sex crimes. The WPA adj
ministrator warned: San employee
who refuses to have his fingerprints
taken will be subject to sever dis
ciplinary action" Ignored is a state
law which prohibits fingerprinting
as a condition of getting Oh keeping
employment.
In Detroit last summer all en-
ployees on the WPA Housing Sur
vey Project were ordered finger
printed. 1t was supposed to have
been a voluntary action but 100
workers who refused to register
their prints were ordered removed.
However, the issue was taken to
court by the United Automobile
Workers, Wayne County Federation

There is nothing in nature like this poverty
which today curses us. We see rapine in
nature, we see one species destroying an
other; but as a general thing animals do not
feed on their own kind; and, wherever we
see one kind enjoying plenty, all individuals
of that kind share it. No man, l think, ever
saw a herd of buffalo of which a few were
fat and the great majority lean. No man
ever saw a flock of birds of which two or
three were swimming in grease and the
others all skin and bone. Nor in savage life
is there anything like the poverty that testers
in our civilization. And yet the peculiar
characteristic of this modern poverty of ours
is that it is deepest where wealth abounds.-

Social Security Marches Forward

The recommendations of the Advisory
Council on Social Security for enlarging the
scope of the old-age pension program OF the
Social Security Act include a number of
provisions that are bound to meet general
approval.
One of the main criticisms of the original
Act was the exclusion of large groups of our
population who are just as much in need OF
guaranteed security in their declining years
as are those included in the benefits set up
under the Act.
The Council proposes to remedy this de-
feet by broadening of the Act to cover about
14,80O, 900 additional persons. Those whom
the Council believed should be included at
once are 100000 employees of private non
profit religious, charitable and educational
institutions, 400, 900 seamen and 100000 en-
ployees of national and state banks. The
Council also recommended that by 1910,
approximately 5000, 900 farm employees and
5000, 900 domestic employees should be
added.
About AZ, 000, 900 persons are now covered
in the old-age pension system. The addl-
tons recommended by the Council will bring
the total up to about 66,800,000.
Other important and just recommended
tons are: Starting the payment of insurance
benefits in 1910 instead of 1912, as the pres
ent law provides; increasing the average
benefits payable during the early years, thus
recognizing the fact that the worker covered
into the pension system late in his employ
able life has not been able to build up an
adequate pension credit, and providing for
the payment of annuities to the widow and
dependent children of insured workers who
die before or after the age of 90 set up in
the present Act as the age when pensions
begin.
Some of the recommendations of the Coun-
Gil are scheduled to develop controversy.
The suggestion that the federal government
pay one-third of the old-age pension tax, the
employers one-third and the employees one
third, instead of the present scale by which
the employers pay one per cent OF the pay
roll and the employees one per cent OF their
wages, is likely to arouse opposition. The
suggestion that the reserve fund, which I'm
der the present plan will amount to about
SAT, 600, 000, 900 in 1880, be materially re-
duced, thus decreasing the tax necessary to
support the system, will also probably de-
velop controversy.
But the constructive recommendations for
extending the coverage of the Act to include
nearly $4,000, 900 additional persons, begin
ming the pension payments in 1910, providing
larger pensions during the first years OF the
system, and guaranteeing suitable pensions
for widows and dependent children-these
recommendations are clearly reasonable and
Just applications of the broad principle Of
social security.

U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Natl.
Assn. of Manufacturers, American
Bankers Assn, American Legion,
the Hearst newspapers, Daughters
of the American Revolution, and
such labor-hating patriots as the
American Coalition.
The California cotton pickers'
strike in the San Joaquin Valley
showed how the system would work.
To smash the union plantation own
ers first tried to put over a system
of compulsory fingerprinting. Luck
lily the campaign was fought to
death. Then the owners resorted to
a plan for compelling workers to
register their auto license numbers
when they applied for relief. That
number became a blackball when
ever workers applied for a job.
It's time the touted fingerprint
campaign is exposed as a trap for
organized workers. We don't want
rule of thumb so long as this coun-
try remains a democracy.

of Labor, United Office & Profess
sional Workers and the Civil Rights
Federation. When they got out an
order to show cause, the WPA adj
ministration backed down, agreed
not to fingerprint anyone if the suit
was discontinued.
In CCC camps, in schools, in hun
dreds of business firms, the finger
print fever is catching on. Ostensi-
bly, the idea is that it would de-
crease crime, identify amnesia vic
Tins and unknown dead. But in
practice widespread fingerprinting
represents a dangerous flank attack
on organized labor, rears up as a
stalking horse for RECOMMENDATION
characteristic of fascist countries.
Nationwide fingerprinting would
provide a basis for a labor blacklist,
offer employers an easy means OF
control over and intimidation of en-
ployees. Placing minority move
ments too closely under the super
vision of local authorities, it would
make repressive measures more
easily enforcible. Of course there's
no objection to ~fingerprinting wher
restricted to its legitimate uses-ir
the cases of persons convicted oil
crimes whose records the police may
properly keep; and those whose
fingerprints are an essential means
of Identification in occupations
licensed by police authorities.

cerned, look outl A glance at the
hackers of the movement gives a

Partnership Wage

"
What wage-earners want most of all as a
basis for industrial relations is an opportu-
nifty to develop collective bargaining to its
full possibilities. Through collective bar
gaining the whole range of relations between
those who carry on the production processes
and those with final responsibility for deter
mining production policies may be discussed
from the approach of both sides and mutual
agreement reached upon the principles and
standards developing out of consideration of
facts and experiences.
The primary principle underlying collec-
tive bargaining is one universally accepted
in theory but widely ignored in practice
the right of a laborer in the fruits of his toll.
This right has been obscured by the complex
relationships of the corporation method of
financing, factory and mass-production with
machine tools and electric power to supply
human power. Through the processes of
collective bargaining the union and manage
ment can discuss and clarity fair standards
for measuring the contributions of all factors
in production and establish just principles of
work relationships and distribution of returns
from joint work.
AS a carry-over from former types of pro-
duction, management is trying to maintain
exclusive control over records which disclose
costs accounting as well as the determination
of distribution of gains. These records and
management of business are not the exclu-
sive property of management or investors.
Business operates by and ~through.the chan
mel and agencies which Society maintains,
and it does not bear alone the consequences
of its policies and comparative successfulness.
Open accounting is essential with our social
and economic structure to protect the inter
ests Of the public, investors as well as the
production or operating staff. When collec-
tive bargaining becomes really effective upon
a basis of experience, records and costs
accounting, there will be distribution of re-
turns from joint work in proportion to con-
tributions and real partnership between
investors, workers and management-each
receiving a partnership wage.
This statement of the detectives of collec-
tive bargaining d~iscloses why some corpora
tons oppose it SO bitterly in defense Of an
arbitrary power they have exercised and
benefited from, and why others are trying
to divert workers from the main issue by
proposing Income security" and profit
sharing under the present arbitrary and
irresponsible control of management over the
distribution of business income.
The American Federation of Labor recon-
mends that all unions center their efforts on
developing the widest possibilities of collec-
tive bargaining. We are providing for fed
eral labor unions economic and financial in
formation that will enable them to discuss
compensation in the light of the ability of
the company to pay. That is first step.
A much more advanced stage is collective
bargaining in the railway industry with
union executives cooperating with railways
to find the solution of the financial problems
of the industry as a basis for joint efforts to
secure the necessary administrative or legis-
lative action.

Dopesters are practically unani-
nous, a surprising thing in itself,
on the conclusion that Harry Hop
kins, WPA administrator, is going
to be appointed to the cabinet post
vacated by Secretary of Commerce
Daniel Roper.
The theory is that Hopkins is the
best liberal presidential candidate
available in 1910, if the President
doesn't want the job, and that head
ing the Department of Commerce
would give him a nodding %acquaint-
nee with business big shots who
would see that he doesn't have horns
and a tail.
Dopesters also have it that Deputy
WPA Administrator Aubrey Will
liams will not get Hopkins job be-
cause Williams has been too out
spoken. This decision has been
communicated to Williams, it is said,
along with the word that Col. F. c.
Harrington, at present WPA chief
engineer and an Army man, will get
the nod.
Appointment of Harrington and
the removal of Assistant WPA Adj
ministrator Ellen Woodward to the
Social Security Board indicates, in
the minds of some, a plan to de-
mobilize the WPA. Army engineers,
such as Harrington, have never been
noted for their social viewpoint and
the experience of WPA workers
with Army men as administrators
has been anything but happy.
Since this was written Hopkins
was named to succeed Roper and
Harrington got Williams job.

BY HENRY o

V<ioiii4>b 1ON+ VII AiiOiSo-
tions of what labor may expect if
the National Labor Relations Act is
opened for amendment in the COM
ing session of Congress were given
by Babson's Reports, an information
service for business men, is it pub
lished results of a survey made
among leading industrialists."
The results showed that talk
about an enlightened group of bust
ness men who now love labor and
are willing to cooperate with the
labor board is just so much eye
wash. The business gang still hates
the labor act and will do anything
to get rid of ii, the survey indicates.
Interestingly enough the report
said, ''The survey reveals that bust
ness is not interested in supporting
the various changes in the act spon-
sored by the American Federation
of Labor at its Houston convention
in October.
whatever action business men
may take they have no intention
of uniting with the AFL in its cam
paign to remodel the act. Business
will pursue its own course of action
entirely apart from the federation's
planned program"
II uraC fnItontOI ktrcinacc Nroforc
to follow its own course in order to
nullify the act as much as possible.
Outright repeal was supported by
20 per cent of the returns, the sur
vey said, and "here it was apparent
that many employees took a realistic
attitude and, assuming that COM
plete repeal was impossible at this
time, chose to concentrate on de-
sired amendments"
Once the door is open, the survey
continued, business will press
amendments for a labor board COM
posed of business, public and labor
representatives, separation of judi
cial and administrative functions of
the board, placing the board more
closely under the control of the fed
eral courts, restrict picketing, pro-
vide for compulsory arbitration,
make labor pay its cost at board
hearings and repeal the provision
permitting closed shop contracts.
Any one of these amendments, if
adopted, would put a severe crimp
in the effectiveness of the labor act
in enforcing the right of labor to
organize and bargain collectively
By no stretch of the Imagination
could they be called improving
amendments.
While reporting the results Of
questioning business men on the
labor act, Babson also reports that
chances continue to favor retention
of the act without any change by the
next session of Congress" Hope
lies in another direction.
After having disgraced itself ir
the eyes of BUSINESS by suecumbing
to the popular will, the Supreme
Court is on the verge of making
restitution, Babson's feel. Report.
ing the courts decision in the Con.
solidated Edison case, it remarks:
"There are other cases pending
on which decisions will before Ions
be handed down. Thus it is pos
sible that some measure of the
apprehensions which business is ex.
pressing in its efforts to get Con.
gress to amend the act may be allie
waited before the current session Of
the Supreme Court adjourns."
