HI, HO, SILVER

We need not wait for comment on
democratic weakness" from the
Fuehrer. Not so long as we have
such spectacles as the recent squeeze
play in the United States Senate on
the silver and devaluation legislation.
Two sets of racketeers got together.
One set wants higher price for sill
yer, which is mined in certain western
states. The other set will profit by
keeping the price of gold where it is.
The two together play the racketeer-
ing game of beating the treasury of
the United States out of some billions.
Labor cannot be proud of the spec
tacle thus set before the world of the
chief legislative body, the supposedly
wisest deliberative body in the world,
playing ducks and brakes with the
United States treasury. This same
combination of alleged statesmen has
been filling the air with reverbera-
tions about Economy" in the consid-
Grafton of what to do with the mil
lions of American citizens who,
through no fault of their own, are
shut off from access to the means of
making even a common living.
Of course, all this is not SO mar
vellously constructive, when it comes
to the problem of balancing the
budget"

GRACE ABBOTT
(From Washington Daily News)

(Fr0m washington DAILY NeWSJ
Death has cut short the brilliantly
useful career of Miss Grace Abbott.
To call her one of Americas greatest
women is an inadequate tribute to
the effectiveness, vision and courage
with which she served the mothers
and children of this country.
For IA years, under four presiden-
tial administrations, she was chief of
the United States Children's Bureau.
1t is literally true that tens of thou
sands of citizens owe their lives to
her fight against infant and maternal
mortality. That and her struggles to
curb child labor and juvenile delin-
quency made her internationally ia
nous. She dared President Hoover's
when she battled to pre-
serve the independent Children's Bu-
reau, and thus probably sacrificed an
opportunity to become Secretary of
Labor and the first woman cabinet
member.
Miss Abbott earned the right to an
unusual memorial. The one most fit
ting-the one she would most have
desired-would be ratification of the
Child Labor Amendment. She was
a leader of that cause for many years,
she lived to see the U. S. Supreme
Court declare that the amendment is
still vital, and she died in the hope
that few more states would soon
ratify it and so make it part of the
federal Constitution.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Belief that basic causes OF world
discomfort must be dealt with as a
first step toward enduring peace was
supported by Henry |. Hartman, for
mer president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce and United
States employers representative at
the International Labor Conference
just held in Geneva.
Analysing some of the basic causes
of world unrest, leading to the pres
ent fear of war, Hartman said:
at is my firm conviction that the
basic cause of such unrest is the fact
that some nations have an abundance
of food and other vital raw materials,
while others lack the land on which
to grow the necessary crops, and do
not have within their borders the raw
materials with which to carry on a
full and well-balanced economic life. y
In the course of his speech Harri-
man said that this analysis led him
to the specific suggestion that con-
sideration should be given to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's desire for the hold
ing of world economic conference.
The agenda of such a conference, how
ever, should be carefully prepared
and in advance the experts of the va
rious nations should collect the facts
which are essential to their conclu-
sions.
"Basically," Hartman declared
"such a conference should be held foi
the specific purpose of determining
how each of the great industrial ma
tions of the world shall, through worle
trade and the Interchange of goods

ECONOMICS OF WAR

1t may seem high-minded and noble
to talk about an economic war on die
tator countries rather than say it with
bullets, but it is just another way of
sticking our neck out and asking for
actual war.
Consequently Americans should look
with care into the propaganda that
is leading US battleward.
Russia is now fighting Japan in ST.
IBERIA. Japan is trying to dislodge
England and France from Asia. Eng
land and Soviet Russia would like our
help.
England, France and the United
States are selling war materials to
Japan. Soviet Russia sells Japan
nothing. Russia wants other coun-
tries to stop trading with Japan in
order to make Stalinism safe in ST.
IBERIA. So Communists in the United
States have their orders to stimulate
the boycott movement against Japan.
American labor has drawn line
boycott goods manufactured in ia
pan, but do not boycott raw materials
needed by American workmen. Com
munists would eliminate that line.
AS for the scrap iron we are selling
to Japan, we know that much of it
is going into China, some of it in the
form Of shells. 1t is not going into
a munitions reserve to fight the United
States. At the same time the United
States has put silk on the list of nee
essary war materials. When Japan
gets control of Asiatic iron ore sup
plies she can stop her imports from
US. When the du Points develop ny
Ion as a satisfactory substitute for
silk, we can stop importing silk. Is
that the zero hour?
Let's face the facts. If we must
go to war with Japan in order to

provided by the Social Security Act,
Mr.. Green declared:
"The federation believes that no
classes of persons now covered by the
old-age insurance or unemployment
compensation laws should be ex-
cluded from coverage in the future.
Not until coverage is extended to all
workers can we have satisfactory
security program.
"Any changes in coverage should
operate to enlarge, not to restrict
coverage.
"The wholly unwarranted definition
of agricultural labor would exclude
thousands of workers who are en-
gagged in labor not commonly consid-
cred agricultural labor not the or
binary work of a farm hand per-
formed for the owner or tenant oper-
ator of bona fide farm. 1t could
include many occupations performed
away from farms and in connection
with processing of products even be-
yond the primary stage. There can
be no justification for this new defini
ton which would exclude many work
ers who have started to build up equi-
ties in the old-age insurance system
and who need to have their security
continued.
Similarly by new clauses in the
! definition of employment the amend
ments would exclude from social Sc
curity in the future many workers
now covered.
"The addition of the words local
college club, or local chapter of a
college fraternity or sorority to the
exclusion of domestic service in homes
is unreasonable and wholly undesir-
able, excluding, as it would do, many
employees of commercial service COM
panies which cater to such clubs.
"The difficulties which are urged as
reason for new exclusions are minor
compared with the positive injustice
of narrowing the security program
already undertaken.
"The federation urges you rather
to bend your best thought and effort
toward making the program as broad
and inclusive as is possible at this
time and to refuse to withdraw the
promise of security once held out to
the affected classes of workers.
Particularly because we believe all
farm and domestic labor should be
included as soon as possible we de-
plore any move to restrict still further
coverage of those occupations.
Definition of Employer
"a change in definition of 'em-
ployer' was suggested by the Social
Security Board in order to cover for
unemployment compensation tax pur-
poses as we'll as for old-age insurance,
employers of one or more persons.
The federation believes that as a
matter of policy as well as admins
tratively this change would be desir-
able. The enlarged coverage would
bring security to more workers, un-
fair competition now existing would
be checked, and the tax basis of the
two laws would be more nearly the
same, and so administratively simpli-
fed"

PORT TIE-UP in SAN
FRANCISCO AT END

San Francisco (ILNS).-Six thou
sand men returned to work at the
port of San Francisco under terms of
an agreement which ended Today
tie-up. The agreement specified that
Wayne L. Morse, west coast maritime
arbitrator, would decide the condi-
tions under which the port once more
would be opened to all classes of trade
The tie-up affected only cargoes re-
quiring the services of dock clerks.
Bulk cargoes such as lumber and oil
were not included.
The dispute began when 10 clerks
who objected to change in their
wage scale from a daily to a monthly
basis began picketing the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company. Other
points arose as the controversy con-
tinued, and for a time it appeared
that the port might be closed to all
types of shipping.
The agreement assigns to Morse
the power to settle all points of the
dispute, and makes it mandatory
upon both parties to accept his deci-
sions.
In addition to the controversy in
volving the 10 clerks, Morse will rule
on responsibility for the tie-up, and
whether there has been a violation of
existing contracts on the part of
either unions or employers.

reported most any day now, along
with other alleged portents of war.
For the letter "W" on an egg
in the silly season-stands for war,
though why it might not stand for
"work," "waffles," "whiskers" or any
other word beginning with "W" is
hard to explain.
But in the silly season "W" always
means war, no doubt about it. True,
the war doesn't always arrive. And
that brings us to war in Europe, so
often asserted to be right at hand.
After some weeks of comparative
surcease of war hysteria, the news
papers are again beating the drums,
which may or may not be due to the
onset of the silly season.
The coincidence is interesting, how
ever. War is a marvel to stir the
human animal beyond any sea SER
pent ever imagined and talk of it is
sure to boost newspaper circulation.
Ideal silly season material, in fact.
Newspapers, though, have been
shouting the dangers of war for two
years and war has not come at this
writing. One "crisis" after another
has come but there has been no gen.
eral conflagration. So the war scare
like the cry of "Wolf!" in Aesop's
fable, has lost some of it's power to
alarm. Which is all to the good, as
far as this country is concerned.
We have all we can do at home
without having heart failure over
Europe's quarrels.
Renewed war talk may or may not
be the result of the silly season. But
charges that the American Fedora.
ton of Labor is trying to destroy
the federal relief policy and to wreck
the National Labor Relations Act are
certainly due to the silly season. 9th

all sorts of silly charges and thu

ssIt is my firm conviction" Harri-
man continued, "that through care

basic raw materials which are neces-

"The alternative" he added, "is
wars of aggression in which both
those who attack and those who de-
fend will suffer equally and western
civilization may well crumble under
the impact of the blows.
sIf on the other hand the nations
of the world meet, as President Roose-

"Not perfection as final goal, but
the enduring process of perfect

who, no matter how good he has been

who, no matter how morally unworthy
he has been, is moving to become
