LABOR MUST BACK OWN PRESS
(From the Bakers JournaD

(from the Bakers J0ufnal)
The power Of the press IS realized
only too well by the enemies of pro-
gressive trade unionism today, and
the subsidized press which appears in
solid array in every dispute is an evil
dence that they take advantage of it.
The working men to a great extent
have been blind to this great power,
and as a result have failed to succeed.
They must brush the scales from their
eyes and see the situation just as it is.
They must see that they have papers
that will speak for them in times of
trouble and will educate at all times.
To have such friend he must be sup
ported. The labor editor should re-
ceive the active aid of every laboring
man to the end that he may be strong
to battle for the right
Every working man should make it
part of his duty to uphold, as much
as it lies in his power, the local labor
papers. Big capital knows the power

WHAT NEXT?

Curved glass that does away with
shop window reflections is no longer
a novelty. But when the American
Chemical Society meets in Boston this
month it will hear of new invisible
glass. This one is not curved but
coated with material that increases
the transmission of light When spec
tacles are so coated the nuisance Of
reflection is ended. So with store
windows, mirrors, automobile wind
shields and showcases.

American Communists are singing
mighty low these days.
No longer do they split the well1in
with praises of Soviet Russia as de
fender of democracy, freedom and
light.
Comrade' Stain has knocked the
props right out Of the argument that
Soviet Russia is friend of democracy
and foe of Nazi-ism.
The Soviet-Nazi trade and non-ag-
gression agreement did the trick and
is taking a lot of the brashness out
of Communists here.
They try hard to defend the Soviet
Nazi pact but it is plain their hearts
are not in the job and that they are
finding the going very rough
They could probably argue more
convincingly or the thesis that the
moon is made of green cheese.
Effect of the trade and non-ageres-
sion agreement on American Com
munists was shown at the annual pa
rade of the American League for
Peace and Democracy, a Communist
''front organization"
Parade was held in New York City,
stronghold of the Stalinists.
Last year it is said $4,000 to
10000 marched. This year about
1000 were in line, the New York
Times reports.
At rally after the parade, speak
ers alternated between defense of
the pact as blow at Germany and
Italy and a confession that they were
confused" as to its ultimate sig
nifcance.
Chances are they won't be long con
fused as to its meaning.
Rest of the world is not confused
1t knows the pact for what it is, a
blow at the democratic nations.
In all truth, the agreement must
have been a tremendous shock to the
Communist rank and file. Leaders
may not have been SO much surprised
as they are fully aware of Comrade
Stains capacity for duplicity.
In recent years the Communists
have based their tactics and whole
policy on the idea of an inevitable
war between Nazi Germany and So
Wet Russia.
So they gave up their program OF
revolution, for a time, and sought to
WOO American favor with every de-
vice Of propaganda.
/. The aim was American support fo1
Russia in the event of war with Ger
many.
Former extremist measures and the
ultimate program of Communism
were played down and specific reform
measures advocated by the New Deal
and others were favored.
Democracy, the antithesis of Com
munism, was extolled to the skies.
Even support of the hitherto hatec
church was sought.
Now comes Dictator Stain shaking
hands with Dictator Hitler and prom
ising not to join any war on the Nazis

UNEMPLOYMENT ON
INCREASE in JULY,
SAYS A. F. |. GROUP

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). 80 IN
employment in July was higher than
in June, the American Federation of
Labor and the National Industrial
Conference Board, an employers or
ganization, agreed in reports on tho
job situation. Totals as estimated by
the two organizations were different,
the A. F. of l.. figures being higher.
"After reaching a peak at the end
of june" the A. F. of L. said, "indus-
trial activity remained at about the
same level through July. Since there
was no industrial expansion this year,
number of industries felt the effect
of the summer dull period.
Building Jobs Gain
''The building industry was in con-
trast to others. With the steady in
crease in home building through F.
H. A. insured mortgages, together
with increased activity in other pri-
vate building lines, employment con-
tinued to rise in July. In construc-
ton and roads, $4,000 were added to
payrolls. The railroads also increased
employment, adding 5000.
"On the whole, however, summer
lay-offs exceeded gains and there was
total employment decline of nearly
100000 Our estimate for all work
ers in the United States showed 10,-
100000 out of work in July, compared
to 10,363, 900 in June. This compares
with 11,274,000 in July last year.
"Trade union members reporting
for August show an employment gain
suggesting that industry is now in
creasing activity again, preparatory
to fall busy season."
Unemployment Trend Up
The National Industrial Conference
Board found that national unemploy
ment rose 3.5 per cent in July, revers
ing a downward trend that began il
February The number of persons ou
of work increased from 9,528,000 il
June to 9,86O,O0O in July, according
to the board.
Total employment dropped from
45,052, 900 in June to 44,774,000 il
July, the board said. The larges
losses were recorded in agriculture
manufacturing and trade, distribution
and finance Gains were noted in con
struction, transportation and the serv
ice industries.
The emergency labor force main
tanned by the federal governmen
through the w. P. A., the C. G. c. an
other agencies dropped from 2,894,O0
in June to 100000 in July. This wa

Whether or not the armies of Eu-
rope are locked in bloody conflict by
the time this comment is printed, one
fact stands out sharp and undeniable.
The nations of the world can not go
on indefinitely under the shadows of
crisis and fear. The time must arrive,
if it is not already here, when nations
prefer the showdown rather than con-
tinue in the paralyzing fear of what
might be. 1t resolves itself into an
understandable gamble-life, as at
the present, is not worth continuing,
for nations or individuals, and there
is a chance to make it worthwhile for
those who might be lucky enough to
survive. So, why not?
This determined spirit of finality
has already gripped the French and
Polish peoples. The French have
reached the point where they would
rather shoulder a real gun and use
it than go through their social and
business life with an imaginery gun
forever tied to their backs. The Poles
even added humor to their determin-
ism and remarked on the absence of
German bombs "Uncle Herman
Goering has not laid any eggs yet"
The English, too, look upon the
final conflict as predestined. With a
few exceptions, who might still long
for the "good old days of Munich,
the general feeling is fight and get it
over.
However, just as truly as the pres
ent world crisis can be traced largely
to the peace gained by the last Worlc
War, so we can look forward to the
next series of crises following the
next war, unless the victors, whoever

John N. Garner, II, and Thomas
E. Dewey, 81, are now forging to
the front as candidates for the
presidency on the conservative
Democratic and Republican tickets,
in 1910. By the time of the inaugu-
ration in 1941, Garner and Dewey
would represent respectively the
oldest and youngest of all the pres
idents of the United States during
the past $50 years. In the event of
his election Dewey would be scarce
ly above the minimum age of 35,
set by the Constitution, while Gar
ner would exceed the Scriptural
span of life, three score and ten
years. Both instances would in
volve risks justifiable only by party
desperation. Laying aside all other
elements of considerations itself
constitutes an important factor in
the availability which no party can
prudently ignore.
Both parties have always pre-
sented candidates between the Con,
stitutional and Scriptural age lin
its. Our youngest presidents at the
time Of Inauguration were Roose

The Extreme Ages of

vel AZ, Grant As, and Cleveland At.
The volume and completely of our
national interest require a maturity
of judgment and experience far be-
yond that contemplated when the
Constitution was adopted. The sue
cess of a political tyro without
training or experience in admins
trative tasks would be a miracle of
precocity upon which the American
people will rely only at their own
risks.
On the other hand, John N. Gar
ner with adequate political expert
ence and legislative training, has
passed beyond the age limit which
the government has set as the eff
fective age for public servants. All
military and civic servants must re-
tire on or before reaching the age
of 70. Even the august justices of
the supreme court, whose term is
constitutionally unlimitable, are
permitted and induced to retire at
the statutory age.
John N. Garner is now II years
of age and will be 70 at the time Of
his Inauguration, and II at the enc
of his term if chosen by the electo-
rate in 1910. George Washington

some of our tall boys about town a
superior feeling, since they not only
didn't have to stand on chairs but
had to support all the goOd-looking

the entertainment. Did you see the
rawther slender youth in the cor
ner, with both arms firmly support
ing two attractive damsels, who
was continually exclaiming, "Be-
hold Atlas, folks, supporting two
luscious worlds" LEONARD
GREEN and MELROSE ASH, who
were among the Understanding

the show that they laughed too hard
and tumbled over backwards off
onto the floor. Some who saw the
little accident thought it was as
good as the show itself. Saw
CHARLOTTE CRUMP just
aswinging to the too mellow music.
Towards the end of the dance all
the balloons were let down and you
should have seen the mad scramble
for them. Did you notice that young
boy with the initial &C" who was
trying to punch everyone's balloon

his head punched. When the con-
fetti was passed out all had sort Of

whole handful in her mouth, tossed
pugilistically by the admiring RED

The Democratic Party nominated
Henry Davis for the vice-presidency
at the advanced age of 81 in 1904,
but the octogenarian died before his
term of office would have expired.
Republican Party, in 1882, nomi-
mated Vice-President Charles Cur
tbs, 72, to succeed himself. But the
distinguished Kansan died before
the expiration of the term for
which he was nominated.
Our entire national history warns
against the risk of choosing an ell
derby candidate for the presidency
especially in the later years when
the duties of the office have become
so onerous and exacting. To rely
upon the continuance of the present
state of health and degree of vigor
of a septuagenarian candidate is
but a gamble against the calendar.

Poetic Thoughts

By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Mother-hOw think of you this day!
With your smiling face which OverCame dismay,
For knew your troubled heart,
Because unselhshness a virtue from the start
Children appreciate what you have done,
Until you're gone with the setting sun,
Your flowers Of tribute should have been put
Into your hands by those you tried to set foot.
Memories always revived for those love-
She made sacrifices like the One above,
And this special day let us begin,
To remember Mother before she gets old and thin.
The older get the should see,
Her wise counsel to keep free,
Free from evils grasp and all that dwells
In darkness and produces wasted human shells.
Wise is the child who now understands,
Mothers admonition and inspired plans
For if they're followed every day,
No heartaches will be Mothers Day.
Children sometimes think parents foolish
Because of the constant advice, they appear rulsh
Their resentment may be natural but not good
For if disobeyed they'll who best understood.
Many a is shed to condone for wrong
On Mothers Day of remembrance ring heartfelt song
So let your tears be of joy
That Mother is forgotten by her girl boy

John Adams at 65, Thomas Jeffer-
son at IS, Madison at IS, Monroe at
Sc, Jackson at SO, William Harri-
son at SO, Zachary Taylor at IS,
James Buchanan at SO and Wood
row Wilson at Ga. All other presi-
dents have retired from the presi-
dency under 60 years of age. Mr..
Garner would be n, or six years
older than any other president at
the time of retirement, and would
be the only septuagenarian ever
elected to the presidency.
The risk of electing an elderly
man to the presidency is seen in
case of William Henry Harrison,
68, and Zachary Taylor, "a, who
died in office. Andrew Jackson sur
vived his second term by nine years
but "Old Hickory" proved the ex-
ception rather than the rule.
