NEVER AGAIN" SAYS NATION

A great epidemic of influenza SIM
liar to the death-dealing outbreak OF
1918, after the United States entered
the World War, may well be ex-
pected in association with the pres
ent war;" says Dr. Thomas M. Rivers
of the Rockefeller Institute.
Memory of the terrible 1918 scourge
is undoubtedly one of the things
steeling the resolution of the people
of the United States to keep this ma
tion out of war. And they know that
the "fu" epidemic was only one of
the many disastrous consequences of
the consequences which are still
with US.
Is it any wonder the never again"
determination is strong?

NO BASIS FOR SOARING PRICES

Answering the question, show well
stocked is the nations larder?" the
U. S. Department of Agriculture says:
"The answer is that there is on
hand now or in prospect an abundance
of virtually all kinds of food. There's
enough to supply this country amply
for the coming year. In many cases,
not only is there enough, but some
to spare"
The Department of Agriculture is
the authoritative source of informa-
tion on this nations crops.
In view of the departments state
ment, is there any reason for marked
increases in the prices of foodstuffs?
Organized labor is convinced that
there is not and is making its posi-
tion perfectly clear at the Cincinnati

new PROGRAM FOR
POSTOFFICE CLERKS

Houston, Texas. (ILNS) The Ma
tional Federation of Postoffice Clerks
has closed here the largest convention
in its history with an attendance of
delegates and visitors upwards of
1000.
Departing from its previous prac-
tice Of selecting program of legis-
lative and other objectives, the con-
vention decided upon one paramount
issue" This is that of longevity
pay" consisting of increases in pay of
$100 for each 10 years of service.
Subordinate detectives are Civil
Service court of appeals, seniority,
liberalization of substitute employees
conditions, retirement liberalization,
including widows annuities, and elm
nation of temporary employees.

service to third-class postoffices and
other service improvements.
The following officers were unani-

William |. Horner; secretary treas
urer, William Otte; assistant secre-
tary-treasurer, John M. Torka; vice

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

represented net increase of 208,000
over 1888.
Delegates were reminded that these
figures did not of course take account
of continued increase in membership
during the present year. Increases
were reported up to December 81 of
last year in all except II groups of
unions.
British labor's faith in trade union
ism was expressed by j. Hallsworth,
president of the congress, in his open
ing address, in which he said it had
been his privilege to maintain contact
with the working class organization
in every field of activity, at home and
abroad.
"From that experience derived my
profound conviction" he said, "that
in world which seems stricken with
a wasting disease trade unionism sur
wives, and not only survives but grows
in strength and influence, because it
serves a human purpose that no other
social movement serves"
That British labor is determined to
maintain its influence is evidenced by
its demand since the congress meet
ing for larger voice in planning pro-
duction of munitions and all war sup
plies. This demand has been voiced
not only in Parliament but by a dele
cation which met with Prime Minister
Chamberlain and other officials.
The government was plainly tolc

by willing cooperation of industry
and labor and it was asked that labor

News of the outbreak of war in the
first days of September all but sub
merged news in the American press
of the seventy-frst British Trades
Union Congress. Little was printed
on the meeting, which mail reports
from London now show was largely
devoted to the war Discussion of
the international situation and adop-
tion of a declaration of policy were
the chief business.
The declaration reaffirmed organ
lied labor's unfinching determination
to support the fight against Hitler
ism. One paragraph shows its tenor:
"This congress believes that the
Nazi government, having chosen for
it's people the way of war, must be
resisted to the utmost. 1t must be
opposed by all the forces that the
civilized nations can concentrate for
its defeat and overthrow. The con-
gress, with a united and resolute ma
ton, enters the struggle with clear
conscience and steadfast purpose"
In view of the war situation, reso-
lutions from affiliated unions were sci
aside and the congress lasted only
two days. Though the government
had just declared state of war ex,
listed with Germany, virtually 80 pei
cent of the affiliated unions were rep
resented by 400 delegates. Some 65s
would have been present if circum
stances had been normal.
Encouraging reports of growth
were made, it being reported that thu
aggregate membership of the unions
affiliated with the congress was a,

PROTECTING FAIR-MINDED
EMPLOYERS

Employers who want to pay fair
wages have nothing to fear from min
imum wage laws. In fact. they have
every reason to support such laws, as
they are a protection against un-
scrupulous competitors who exploit
their employees. This is being borne
out by experience in New York state,
where minimum wage scales are in
effect for women and minor employees
in the laundry, beauty service and
confectionery industries. The law is
proving beneficial to employers, work
ers and the public. Frieda S. Miller,
head of the State Department of La
Dor, tells the story in one paragraph.
"The administration of the min
imum wage law" Commissioner
Miller says, ''has shown fair-minded
employers that they will not face un-
fair competition from the wage-cut-
ting, chiselling, minority group; has
shown employees that the state is con-
cerned with their receiving wage
sufficient to secure them adequate
maintenance and to protect their
health; and has shown the public that

it's sanity and measured sense. In a
hysterical world and in demonstra-
tion of jitters by our fellow citizens,
less trained and seasoned in measured
consideration and in the formation of
united policies.
Thousand, hundreds of thousands of
letters to Congressmen-"K US
out of war" So far, so good. But
mostly well-warranted terror and not
much needed reason.
Time for cool thought and united
action, not for determination of vital
policies by emotion.
Out of all the heaps and piles of
letters flooding Senator's offices, not
one from a trade union. Is organized
labor without opinion?
Not at all. What then is it
doing? Wisely waiting until all
the facts are in. Until oppor-
tunities have been had for con-
sultation. From individual to
individual. From union to union
From state to state. And up to
determination of a national pro-
gram.
So, as in 1914 and in every other
national emergency, organized labor
will provide one solid, united rock of
public opinion in a foamy mass of
seething popular uncertainty and be-
wilderment and fear.
Moral rearmament? Morality is
not static. What is moral once may
be betrayal and folly now. Morality
is doing the right and, at the same
time, the unselfshly wise thing in the
light of conditions as they now are
But what are the conditions now?
Let's stop and think. Let's measure
and weigh. Let's not court disaster
by snapshot judgment.
Unionism is brotherhood. But this
implies courage to oppose those who
would defeat and destroy the foun-
dation of brotherhood which is friend
ship and helpfulness in spirit. And
wise performance from sincere and
intelligent devotion to these ideals.
And we have the firm foundation
on which to build We are dedicated
to serve the common interests among
those of our trade and calling in our
own community. And then the still
remaining common interest of those
who toll in the same fields throughout
the nation. And then to those of
kindred occupations. And they in
turn to those of the same expanding
cycle of allegiances and trends of
thought and ideals and interests.
And so, at last we have a national
cross-section of opinion, representing
every element. And what the organ
lied labor movement decides to do
will be the real opinion of the people
of our country.
And this is the heavy responsibility
of organized labor. In peace and in
war. To collect, to analyze and to
wisely decide, through the funda-
mentals of democracy upon which our
movement is founded, as to what we
should do. And then do it together
and to provide spokesmenship for the
confused and voiceless-
This will lead us out of the slough
of despond, and lay the foundations
of intelligent and farsighted moral
rearmament. Which is what the
world must have if it is to endure and
not revert into primeval savagery.
So our mission is more vital now
than ever. Our responsibilities have
increased. And our performance will
rise to meet the emergency.

 "Oh, yes,' Flynn went on while we were working on the door this MT. Aston, Mrs. Ben- thornes father comes down the front stairway. He said he'd gone up the back way to Mrs. Ben- thornes sitting room - Krone met him at the back door, you know. heard the shot and hurried down the stairs. He don't get along very fast. He's got a bad heart. He was just telling me about it."
 Dawson nodded. Was every thing in this room just as I found 1t? Window open, shade up, light shade tilted and all?"
 "Yes, sir. Well, one thing was moved T."
 What was moved, Flynn?' Daw- son almost shouted the words.
 Well, sir, when Mrs. Benthorne saw her husbands body there on the floor, she rushed in and knelt beside 1t. She started to lift Ben- thornes head, but 1 told her not to touch him. Then her father comes up, and starts to lift her up and I moved the wastebasket around to the other side of the desk so he could get to her. I intended to put 1t back, and I must have forgot, sir" Dawson did not hear Hymns ex- planation. He was on his knees beside the basket. something out the papers, scanning them closely. One crumpled sheet held his att tention. He read 1t swiftly, handed 1t to Flynn.
 "It's good you didn't decide to empty that wastebasket, Flynn" he said. Take look at this"

oners in the front room. I'm giv- ing them time to think up good stories!"
 "I'll send him, Captain" The detective closed the door. Dawson was alone in the study. He walked to the door, surveyed the scene The light caught him full in the face. The open safe, the bookcase pulled out. Had Benthorne done that? Or had someone actually been in the room after Benthorne was shot?
 Benthorne's fall to the left of the desk might be explained if the killer had entered through the window. But surely. Dawson thought. Benthorne would have heard the window opening. No man would have a window open wide in last nights rainstorm. The curtain would have been soaked. The shade was dry, although the curtains and the carpet beneath the window were wet. Dawson remembered seeing the shade drawn when he checked Flynn at 11:30.
 Absently, Dawson picked up the desk pen, began to draw "doodles ' on the blotter. The pen was dry. He shook 1t. Ink flowed easily. He replaced the pen in its holder, recalling that he had picked 1t up from the desk. So Benthorne had been writing. What?
 "You wanted me, Captain?" Pa trolman Dan Flynn asked from the doorway.
 "Yes. Flynn. I want to hear your whole story over again. You can skip about those kids wanting to get married. Tell me what hap pened after you heard the shot,

 we found Mrs. Benthorne rat ting the doorknob and trying to open the door. It was locked, ap- parently from the inside, for there was no key in the outside lock.
 Krone and l tried to force 1t, but there isn't much room to run across that hallway and that's heavy door. Mrs. Benthorne stop ped screaming long enough to tell us the door couldn't be locked, that the lock was broken, and Jameson said the same thing.
