ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY

GOCIETY rarely realizes what it owes to it's OF
~ ganZed labor movement which in a large
measure organizes labor opinion on work problems
as well as relations with other groups of society.
Labor opinion and labor discipline constitute the
real foundation upon which economic, social and
political policies rest Labor opinion and labor
policies are continuing forces with their roots in
past experience. What that past experience may
have been was not determined by Labor alone but
by employers, public opinion, the Legislative and
branches of our government, the
courts, and by business activity with its peaks
and dips. This fact is fundamental: In industrial
society there is always a labor movement shaped
to deal with problems as they exist. If society
does not guarantee the right of Wage-earners to
contracts covering conditions of work negotiated
by representatives chosen by the workers. and
employers do not accept unions for the purpose OF
performing constructive functions relations are
on q "fOrce' baSlS-relatlOnS are considered in
struggle terms and leaders are chosen for militant
qualities. Force becomes the dominant factor in
the thinking OF the masses of the citizens, for the
that develops out Of work relations
pegmeates thinking all life problems.
The most fundamental and the most revolutions
AIRY law that has been enacted in the last fifty
years is the Wagner National Labor Relations Act
which extended the principle of freedonl-that is
consent to the work agreement under which the
best part Of the day is spent. Forced labor was
abolished by the 18th Amendment, but necessity
of accepting employment under oppressive condi-
LlOS IL leiiONeu Oily ny cOleCIVe dCtlOn OF work
crS to make their bargaining power equal to that
Iof the employer. Acceptance Of this democratic
principle is the ultimate test of democracy in oul
Nation. A free labor movement is the real bull
IWark of free government
Labor looks to business statesmen for help in
1.-THE acceptance of unions and developments that
Twill enable producing workers to become partners
lin the work and problems Of production with the
responsibilities and opportunities of that status
Ultimate responsibility for facilitating such de-
IVeopment in organized labor by evolutionary
methods rests with employers and society.

POVERTY IN NICARAGUA

VNHE international problem of poverty seems to
exist not only in countries where the capitalist
system of production has reached a high state OF
development but also in the more backward coun-
tries where the industrial exploitation of labor IS
in it's infancy.
This was indicated in press dispatches from
NIanagua, Nicaragua, which stated that on the
day before Christmas, Sonora Salvadora de Baye
Somoza, wife of the President of Nicaragua, dis
tributed $4,000 presents to poor children, the lar
gest group of poverty ystrcken boys and girls ever
assembled in that city.
The wives of Cabinet members and high gov
ernment officials joined with Sonora Somoza IN
the ceremony designed "to make the children
happy"
Whether it be in the United States or in Mic
aragua the existence of poor children is largely
caused by the refusal of employers to pay wage
earning parents wages high enough to enable
them to buy the necessaries of life for themselves
and their families.
The manifestation of charity by the well-to-do,
either in the United States, in Nicaragua, or IN
any other country, to provide poor children with
gifts designed to make them forget for the time
being their suffering has grown to be an import
ant part of social welfare work.
1t would be much more commendable If the
same groups would join in definite efforts to re-
form the prevailing system OF production and dis
tribution of wealth so that there would be no un-
derpad wage ealners and consequently few So
called "underpriviIeged' children term evidently
devised to hide the reason why they under
privileged and the responsibility Of those who
own and operate our industrial system for that
condition.

REAL MOTIVE OF STORE TAX

REAL MOTIVE OF STORE TAX
Washington, D. C.-The President
of the Arkansas State Federation of
Labor, Vic Wood of Fort Smith, ac-
cording to reports received here, went
on record recently as being opposed
to the so-called chain store tax bills
pending in the Arkansas General AS
sembly, Mr.. Wood said, at is true that
in some instances, the authors of
these pernicious bills have coupled
this subject with that of Old Age AS
sistance, Pensions for the Blind, and
Aid for Crippled Children, but close
study of just what these different bills
provide, will convince the most skep-
tical that the real motive is hidden,
and the above mentioned sacred sub
jects have been purposely added to
these bills for the sole purpose of add
ing prestige and creating favorable
sentiment in favor of their passage.
1t probably would be interesting read
ing if the cloak of secrecy could be
drawn from the real motives behind
this method of taxation and expose
to the public, and especially the wage
earners of the state, just how much
rot lies hidden there"

FALLS AS OUTPUT
RISES IN THE STONE INDUSTRY

Washington, ID. c.. ULNS). - In
creased productivity made it possible
for $4,000 men working in the crushed
stone industry in 1886 to produce a
greater output than was produced by
i $4,000 men in 1913, a Work Progress
Administration study shows. A report
on the study, prepared by the WPA
National Research Project, was made
public by WPA Administrator Har-
lrington.
After noting that in 1913 total out
put was S0,O00,00O tons and that the
number of nen-e.A.4+eioyed in that year
has not since been equaled, Assistant
Administrator Corrington Gill, in
charge of all WPA research, writes in
his letter of transmittal:
"The great gains in productivity
from O.49 ton per man-hour in 1913
to l.3S tons in 1929-brought about
q drop Of one third in the number of
men employed, despite a two-thirds
increase in the industry's production.
In 1886, output per man-hour reached
an average of 1.S5 tons. In that year
only $4,000 men, working on the aver
age of three-fourths as many hours
per year as in 1929, produced 93,O00,-
900 tons at commercial crushed-stone
Operations"
Gill said that chronological improve
ments threatened to reduce employ
ment still further in the crushed stone
industry and that it therefore offered
little hope of new jobs or reemploy-
ment in the near future.

DEMOCRACY AND THE UNEMPLOYED
ARMY

PROTECTING and perpetuatlng the democratic
institutions which characterize the United
States is motive dear to all patriotic citizens But
love for American institutions cannot be expected
to find an enthusiastic reflection among the mill
ions of jobeSS workers whose right to earn llV-
ing for themselves and their dependents by their
labor has been denied for many years by those who
own and control industry and commerce.
This fear that democracy is seriously menaced
by the persistent refusal OF employers to provide
jobs for millions Of unemployed workers was well
expressed by Secretary of Commerce Harry l..
Hopkins in his recent address before the Economic
Club of Des Nloines, Iowa, in the following terSe
statement
''Some people may think we can maintain de-
mocracy in this country indefinitely with 10000
900 unemployed. | don't If | had no other mo-
tivation other than my deep love of freedom, /
would want to do every thing in my power to try
to help solve the problem Of unemployment"
AS definite step toward providing employ
ment for the jobless Mr. Hopkins urged teamwork
between the Government private industry and la
Dor in the development Of reasonable programs to
expand production on Il profit-maklng basis But
he did not mention shorter hours which the con
tinued introduction Of MISUNDERSTANDING, job-de-
stroying machinery has made imperative but
which organized capitalists, determined to seize
the achievements OF chronological Improvements
for the exclusive benefit of profit grabberS, still
ntranSigently refuse to accept as Il fundamental
part Of our industrial policy.
Drastic reduction Of the length Of the work day
and work week is the basis Of the solution Of the
unemployment problem. 1t is to be hoped that
serious minded officials in both the Government
and private industry will quit stargazing in con
sdering unemployment, examine the question with
a pragmatic realization of the facts and Join with
labor to rescue the victims Of jOb-deStIoying ma
chnery By applying shorter hours Of work.

AUTO WORKERS UNION
REFLECT PRES. MARTIN

Detroit ULNS).-Ending their con-
vention here, delegates representing
the membership of the United Auto
mobile Workers of America which re-
volted against CIO affiliation, re-
elected President Homer Martin, con-
frmed Martins previous declarations
that it was an Independent union and
took final action on the constitution.
Martin was chosen president by ac-
clamation and following an enthusias-
tic demonstration of support and con-
fdence. He predicted that "either
John l.. Lewis and the ClO will rec
ognize the desire of workers for a
clean, democratic American union, or
Lewis and the CIO will fold up like
an accordion"
1rvan Cary Of Linwood, Calf, was
elected vice-president; and Jerry AL
dred Of Flint, Mich, secretary-treas-
urcr.
The election left open a path for
President Martin to resume attempts
to organize workers in the Ford Mo-
tor Company. The convention author
lied the president to negotiate with
managements of any unorganized
plants and make agreements subject
to approval by the union executive
board.
The convention formally severed ties
with the CIO by declaring that CIO
affiliation "could only be accomplished
by sacrificing our democratic auton-
omy." The convention also said that
the union had never submitted the
question Of CIO affiliation to it's mem
bership, but that it remains firmly
committed to the principles Of indus
trial unionism and absolute auton-
omy."

Aliens

The C.. |. o. Industrial Union Coun-
Icil of San Francisco which functions
under the supervision of the notorious
alien Harry Bridges has protested the
appointment of Fritz Wiedman as
German counsel general in San Fran
cisco. In the protest to the State De-
partment Mr.. Wiedman is called "an
undesirable alien"
The difference in the alien status
of Messrs. Wiedmann and Bridges is
noteworthy. Mr.. Wiedman does not
profess to be anything but a German
temporarily employed in the consular
service of his country. Mr.. Bridges,
on the other hand, is an Australian
who seemingly enjoys his status as
an alien. He has earned his liveli-
hood in the United States for nearly
twenty years but refuses to become a
citizen of the land that feeds him.
! Anyone is entitled to judge which
of these two aliens is really "unde-
sirable"

THE OAR AND MISS ANDERSON

(From the New York Herald Tribune)
Revolution, by definition inherent in
their name, are the descendants of
those who fought to make this country
free and to establish a government
which would hold to certain ideals
ideals which seemed high at the time
and which, come to think of it, still
seem high. That fact makes it all the
more astonishing that the ID. A. r.
should have refused to permit Miss
Marian Anderson, the distinguished
Negro contralto, to give a recital in
Constitution Hall, Washington, on the
evening Of April 9. 1t happens that
the ID. A. X. owns the hall and has the
technical right to refuse its use to any
one it sees fit. However, there is lit
tie wonder that persons of many faiths
and many occupations have been de-
lighted to make a vigorous protest. If
such Snub to Negro singer had
occurred somewhere in the deep
South, it might have been understand
able, although just as regrettable. But
to see such thing in the nations
capital, with the ID. A. r. the chief
culprit, is, to use a word of extreme
mildness, dismaying. In the past, on
occasion, the ID. A. X. has stepped
from the sublime to the ridiculous; in
the case of Miss Anderson this dis
tinguished old American organization
has outdone itself.
