NYA MAKES RECORD
NUMBER OF PLACEMENTS

Washington, d. C. GLNS).-"More
youths were placed in jobs in private
industry during September through
the National Youth Administration
junior employment divisions operated
in cooperation with state employment
services than in any previous month
during the three and one-haf years
they have been functioning," Admin
istrator Williams announced here. The
announcement was based on a prelim-
mary survey covering 81 of the 144
cities in which junior employment SER
vices are operated.
DR.. Mary II. S. Hayes, director of
the NYA's division of employment, at
tributed the record number of place
ments to increased industrial activity,
explaining that while September is a
month when a normal business up
swing is to be expected, these figures
show an 1O3 percent increase over the
placements for September, 1888.

MINIMUM WAGES FOR HOSIERY
WORKERS

TT is estimated that about 14,OO0 hosiery work
ers are affected by the first minimum wage
order under the Fair Labor Standards Act of
1888, promulgated by Elmer F. Andrews, Admin
istrator, which became effective September 1S.
The order stipulates that the minimum wage
for the seamless division of the hosiery industry,
which employees about 10000 persons, shall be
32l2 cents an hour In the full-fashioned division,
employing about $4,000 workers. the minimum
wage will be 40 cents an hour
The order issued by Mr.. Andrews was made
in accordance with the recommendation of COM
mittee composed of representatives of employees,
employers and the public. The only other wage
order issued to date is that covering the textile
industry, which will not become effective until
October 24th
Until the wage order issued by Mr. Andrews
went into effect all workers in the hosiery indus
try were guaranteed basic minimum wage of 25
cents an hour and maximum work week of A
hours.
1t is evident that increasing the wages of the
workers in the hosiery industry to 81 % cents and
40 cents an hour will stimulate industry by en-
larging the purchasing power of thousands of en-
ployes
The enactment Of the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1888, under which the hosiery workers
have realized increased wages was supported by
the American Federation of Labor.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON MEDICAL CARE

'THE subcommittee of the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor which held extensive
hearings on the Wagner Health Bill has made a
preliminary report clarifying the principles that
should underlie a national health program and
stated It's intention to report an amended bill at
the next session of Congress.
Many individuals and representative organ
zations presented information and proposals in
the hearings which will be carefully weighed in
drafting the amended BILL The relationship be-
tween economic status and adequacy of medical
services provides non-controversial basis for
plans to met medical needs. Only family with
an income above $4,000 can undertake to provide
medical care for teeth, eyes, and the common
casual illness that befall children and adults. But
even a $4,000 income staggers under the burden
of major illness or operation Families with
incomes under 81 800 must look to the community
or private charity for medical care AS to what
this means quantitatively the preliminary report
quotes these figures. The INDECENT and near-in-
digent families with incomes under $500 include
between 4O,00O,000 and 50,000,000 persons, fami-
lies with incomes between $500 and $1,000, in
clude between 30,000,000 and 100000 persons
80 per cent of our population are under the $4,000
income level with Is per cent between the INDECENT
level and $500 and Is per cent are among the in
digent.
1t is clear that 80 per cent of our population
cannot have the medical care that will keep them
at the highest efficiency for work and living. The
cause is economic-inadequate incomes. AS the
committee report states this inadequate medical
is not the fault of physicians or existing hos
pitfalls and other medical care institutions. Rather
the inadequacy is grave problem which the
nation should face and do something about with
the cooperation of those commemorative citizens
and those who furnish medical care.

VIOLATION OF FOOD STAMP
PLAN WILL BE PUNISHED

Washington, d. C.-Agriculture De-
partment officials have disclosed plans
to punish grocers charged with VIC
lation of food stamp plan regulations
in move designed to "stop chiselng"
by few food merchants. Evidence
has been gathered of violation of regu-
lations prohibiting the sale Of tobac-
co and alcoholic liquors in exchange
for stamps, it was said. Officials en-
phasized that there have been "gra-
tifying few" violations of the stamp
plan and asserted that the overwhelm-
ing majority of grocers are cooper
ating enthusiastically. Evidence of
the alleged violations will be turned
over to the Justice Department for
prosecution, and guilty grocers will be
barred from further participation III
the plan.

EMPLOYMENT
HIGHER IN r. Y. STATE

Albany, N. Y. GLNS).-The num-
ber of workers employed in New York
state factories increased IL per cent
from the middle of August to the mid
die of September, while total factory
payrolls rose 80 per cent during the
same period, Industrial Commissioner
Frieda S. Miller reports. The fact
that many firms were closed during
part of the time reported this month
for the observance of religious hoi-
days or Labor Day accounted for the
smaller gain in payrolls than in en-
ployment. Gains in factory employ
ment and payrolls are usual in Sep
tember. The average gains from
August to September over a 25 year
period have been 2.S per cent for en-
ployment and 80 per cent for pay
rolls.
The New York State Department of
Labor's index of factory employment,
based on the average of the years
1925-27 as 100, rose to 87.4, S.9 per
cent above the September, 1888 level
The corresponding payroll index, at
o2.6 was SO per cent above last years
figure.

OVER TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
PAID IN TRADE UNION BENEFITS

I'HE tremendously important service performed
by trade unions in protecting their members
from want caused by unemployment, various
types Of disability and in provision for their de-
pendents in case Of death is strkingly VisualiZed
in the report Of the Executive Council Of the
American Federation Of Labor to the annual con-
vention OF the Federation held in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The report showed that during the twelve months
covered by the Councils report "$25, ,5S6, ,2SS SO
was paid by National and International labor or
ability, pension, death, sick and miscellaneous
benefits" Commenting on this creditable achieve
ment, the Executive Council said
"Ths vast sum Of benefits paid, however, does
not cover the total amount paid by all National
and International organizations and local unions
during the past year. 1t represents the amount
paid by National and International organizations
and other organized units which reported TO the
American Federation Of Labor.
MANY local unions chartered by organizations
affiliated with the American Federation of Labor
nd federal labor unions, chartered directly by the
cAmerican Federation Of Labor, have established
FUNDS out Of which benefits were paid locally. Thus
yhere should be added to the total amount set
forth in this report Of benefits paid to members
,Of organized labor, many millions of dollars more
paid by organizations not reporting and by local
unions chartered by National and international on
ganizations which have established local benefit
funds for the protection of their membership" "
A breakdown Of the total Of $25, $50 288 SO
which the Executive Council reports the unions

THE ENAZI-COMMUNIST CONSPIRACY FOR
POLAND'S DESTRUCTION

THE despicable conspiracy between the Nazi
government of Germany and the Communist
government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics to conquer and appropriate Poland and
the contemplate support given by Communists
in the United States to this use of force to sub
jugate a nation strongly condemned by
President Green of the American Federation of
Labor in his address before the American Legion
convention in Chicago.
Pointing out that for considerable period an
other war in Europe seemed inevitable because of
"the rise of dictators in European countries the
establishment of totalitarian states and the sub
sttution of autocracy for democracy in the admin
istration of governmental AFFAIRS Mr.. Green
said:
'"The preparations for war which were going
on in the Naz and Communist states, during the
last two three years. made it clear to all think
ing and observing people that the clash was in
evitabe. The seizure Of the neutral zone estab-
lished in the Rhneland by the Versailles treaty,
the invasion of Austria, the subjugation Of
Czechoslovakia the demand for the surrender of
Danzig and the Polish Corridor-all taking place
in consecutive order-reveaed the determination
of the German Dictator to destroy the indepen-
dence of Poland and annex large portion of it
to the German territory.
1--WE were told by leaders of the Communist
movement in the United States that an irrecon-
cilable conflict existed between the philosophy of
NaZsm and that of Communism and that no basis
of accommodation could be established between
them.
"Now, we learn that a secret agreement was
reached between the dictators of Germany and
Russia which provided for the partition of Poland.
There was no clashing over political PHILOSOPHERS.
''rhe so-called dictatorship of the proetariat
and the dictatorship of so-caed national Social
ism are the same. The dictators of both countries
were brought together in common cause and
for common purpose. They are comrades in
arms robbing the helpless people of Poland of
their homes and their Homeland and are guilty of
launching war which may mean the destruction
of modern civilization.
"fIow contradictory is the position assumed
by Communists in the United States They now
approve and attempt to Justify action which
only short time ago they loudly denounced. They
praise and approve the pact which Stain and Hit
Ter made after declaring a short time ago that it
never could be made"
