THEME OF THE SEAL

pLANS are now going forward rapidly to insure
successful start to the Christmas Seal Cam,
paign which opens on December 1st in Ohio ano
throughout the United States, announced DR.. c.
A. Doan Columbus, president of the Ohio Public
Health Association.
Rockwell Kent, American artist writer and
lecturer is the designer OF this years seal, which
shows an angel with outStretched arm against d
brilliant blue background. A large double-balTed
cross, international badge of the fight against tu-
berculosis, is prominently displayed.
Believing that Ohioans who have so faithfully
supported the campaign for many years would be
interested in an explanation of the use of the
double barred cross, DIR. Doan continued, "The
First international Conference ON Tuberculosis
adopted the double-barred cross as its insignia in
1902 DR.. Gilbert Sersiron Of Paris made plea
for its use as an emblem, calling it an emblem of
peace and Of fraternal understanding to spread our
message throughout the world
"The cross, also known as the Lorraine Cross
was taken over by Godfrey de Bouillon Duke of
Lorraine, the first Christian ruler of Jerusalem
as the insignia Of his House 1t had previously
been used by the leaders of the First Crusade as
their standard and to them meant a symbol of
peace and hope
A modern variant of the double-barred cross
was adopted as the insignia Of the 10th Division
Of the American EXpeditonary Force in the
World War, DR.. Doan added.

ance may apply for old age pensions. Direct as
lSistance is available in many states for ma
Iternal and infant welfare dependent children ant
blind persons. Appropriations will be made fo1
these purposes regularly so that persons under
these categories will not have to apply continu
ously for relief or share the fortunes of relief ap
preparations. The principle of social responsibility
Cor victims of social and economic emergencies has
been established
In the last session of Congress, provisions fol
Did age insurance were greatly improved and eX
ended. Instead of paying benefits to the worker
only, the security of the family is provided Bene
its will be payable to aged wives, surviving wild
oWS with dependent Children OF others dependent
On the wage Garner. Benefits will be more ade,
luate. In addition, the Federal Government was
authorized to increase its payment for old age pen
sions for the needy up to $50 on matching basis
Benefits from this provision depend upon changes
lin state laws
The convention warned Labor, however,
against ill advised plans to provide such large pen
sions for all which could but bankrupt the state
and discredt the principle of social security. The
convention also urged improvement of provisions
for unemployment compensation. The low benefits
now and the short duration of payment do rot JUS
tify the millions spent for the administration OF
unemployment compensation. The convention
urged that public commission be authorized by
Congress to study unemployment compensation
laws and make recommendations to Congress- and
further that the feasibility of federal law be
considered. The Federation further believes that
provisions for WOrkmen's compensation should be
integrated with the program for social security.
Coordination of the whole program for social
security at a Federal level would simplify and re-
late all administrative work and thereby greatly
reduce administrative costs.
The convention directed efforts to provide Sc
curty against physical disability by including
provisions for total disability and relating it's ad-
ministration to old age insurance and provisions
for temporary disability, relating it's administra-
tion to the administration of unemployment COM
pensation.
Inadequate medical care for millions of fami-
lies due to costs of such service, is matter OF
serious concern not only to these families but to
the whole country. Good health is necessary for
most constructive service in every relationship of
life.
In addition to improving benefits and extend
ing the scope of security provided the convention
urged particular attention to the coverage of So
cal security and other labor laws. The benefits
of these laws should be available wherever the
relationship exists, regardless of
the nature of the industry or the number of en-
oloyes concerned. Old age insurance and other
kinds of security should be available to ag1icul-
tural workers and those in domestic service as
rapidly as administrative techniques can be de-
viSed.
Social insurance is most fundamental pro-
vision for human welfare.

Democracy Essential To Labor

TO the few who have the oppor-
tunity for special privilege, democ-
racy does not seem so essential, but
to the great mass of wage earners
and salaried persons, democracy is es-
sential to justice, progress and salts
faction in living. Democracy is es-
sential to free labor movement and
a free labor movement is essential to
democracy. - American Federationist

. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Information reaching the Paris
headquarters of the International
Federation of Trade Unions shows
how the Nazi-controlled Labor Front
is being used to mislead the German
workers and hide from them Hitler's
real aims. The Labor Front was call
ed the worlds greatest company
union" in an article in the American
Federationist, official organ of the A.
F. of L.
At meeting of the executive Off
GERS of the Labor Front in Berlin, DR..
Ley, the head of the front, stated that
"the economic section of the war in
structions given by the Fuhrer for the
work of the Labor Front starts with
the statement that the only import
ant thing is to consolidate the chances
for victory which have been created
by Hitler, and that the means or the
form of organization used are of no
importance.
X X X
In long statement, Ley then ex-
planned (says the l. F. 7. U. Bulletin)
that Italian industry during the
Italo-Abyssinian war and Russian in
dustry under Stain provided the
proofs that the National Socialist sys-
tenn was the best guarantee that Ger
many's economic aims would be OBJ
tanned through the war.
The Fuhrer, said Ley, "would
sooner proclaim a German Soviet
Republic than incline to the de-
mocracies The war must be
carried on by absolutely Russian
BOlshevist methods"
Ley then went on to assert that the
wart me economic reconstruction,
which would be finished in a few
months time, was really Communist
kind of organization, similar to the
Russian, and that the word chosen by
Hitler to describe it-"Volksgemein-
schaft" only German trans
lation of "Communism"! But Ger
many lacked the primary commodities,
such as large colonies, the Alsacian
ore and potassium deposits, ETC.,
which were necessary if she were to
organize her industry on the Russian
model, and the war with the Western
democracies was being carried on to
obtain these supplies. From the stand
point of Communist doctrine, this
war was really revolutionary war.
X x X
This kind Of thing is not only
stated by Ley, but is being propagated
up and down the country by thousands
of "individual propagandists," who
have recently been sent all over Ger
many in order to arouse the workers
enthusiasm for the war. Some work
ers fall into the trap, but only those
who were formerly Communists. The
former trade unonists are not taken
in.
In the Ruhr these propagandists
have also been saying that Stain has
seen this to be the right viewpoint
and that for this reason he is taking
part in the war on Germany's side,
first of all against Poland, and later
on as may be required. "The Rus
slams are convinced that Hitler is a
great revolutionary strategist than all
politicians before him."
Enthusiasm must indeed be at a
lob ebb in Germany if the Nazis are
forced To resort to such talk!

WHAT NEXT?
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Widespread efforts to obtain a
relatively satisfactory fuel to re-
place gasoline for motOr-vehicle
operation are being carried on in
Great Britain. u. S. Vice Consul
H. B. Clark, Birmingham, reports.
The three types of power with
which experiments have been
made are producer gas which is
manufactured from solid fuels
burned in a gas-prOducer on the
vehicle; compressed Illuminating
gas as contained in cylinders car
ried on the vehicle or drawn in a
trailer; and batteries in the case
of electric vehicles. Illuminating
gas has proved to be the most
practicable of these substitute
fuels. the report said.

DEPRESSION WAR-BORN

In America there was no great op-
position to the vast war expenditures
of 1878. There has been and still
vast expenditures made in these re-
is, however, great opposition to the
cent depression years. And yet, the
depression came largely as result of
the war and of the universal economic
dislocations caused by that war. The
tragic thing is that men recognize the
viciousness Of this circle but seem un-
able to break it The Pathfinder.

question Of unity.
"We are prepared to consider unity
when and if it is the unity of equals" }"
says the G. !. O.
By refusing to continue peace nego-
Itiations with the American Federation
Iof Labor, the G.. /. O. now tactily ad-
Imits it is not the equal in strength of
the A. f. Of l.. What is the strength
Iof the c. |. o.? Mr.. Lewis is too
ASHAMED to say. He wouldn't even
tell the delegates to the C. |. 0. con-
IVention, let alone the public. The dele
gates got no report on membership or
finances from Mr.. Lewis. The G.. l..
o. won't tell the A. +. of l.. either.
They have rejected every demand
made by the A. +. of l.. for an indie
pendent audit by certified public ac-
Icountants of the membership-the
Idues-pad mcmbership-of both or
ganlzationS.
The reports we receive Indicate that
the c. |. o. now has no more than one
fourth of the ues-paid membership
Iof the American Federation of Labor.
Yet it insists on being treated as the
Iequal of the A. f. of l.. 1t that hon
est or is it fraudulent? Could the A..
f. of l.. accept such basis of ne
gotiations without complete sacrifice
of democratic principles and a COM
plete betrayal Of the membership of
its affiliated organizations? Equals
are equals. But the G.. |. O. never was
the equal Of the A. f. of L., it is not
now the equal of the A. +. of l.. and
it never will be.
These are the facts. But Mr.. Lewis
Istubbornly refuses to face the facts.
He is determined to keep up the futile
and forlorn fight. And it has now be-
come evident, even to the doubters,
that his determination and his will
alone rule the G. |. 0. Because the
only man in the G. l. o. powerful
enough to challenge him, Sidney Hill
man, got cold feet and surrendered.
So when President Roosevelt called
I'm William Green and John l.. Lewis
to the White House last week and ask
ed them to resume peace negotiations,
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1939-11-30

the President of the A. +. of l.. said
"Yes" and the dictator of the c. |. o..
said "No."
AS Sidney Hillman eloquently de-
clared last October, labor unity is es-
sential to national unity. The Presi-
dent of the United States is fully
cognizant of that fact So is Presi-
dent Green. But John l.. Lewis, blind
to the welfare of the workers and
blind to patriotism, can see only his
own ambition and continues to ignore
the facts. How long can he get away
with it?

martial air on the rival pitching
yesterday. as O'Donnells Grill
marched to surprisingly easy 11-3
victory over Old Milwaukee in an
Industrial League game. Played on
the East Ellipse and broadcast by

a large gathering.
Brief remarks by Congressman
Louis c. Rabout of Michigan and

then Miller and his mates went to
work on the hapless Milwaukee
mound corps with gusto. Sixteen
hits In all ratified off their bats, with
Miller's two doubles and two singles
setting a burning pace. The fleet
outfielder drove in four runs-more
than enough to win the game alone.
Beermen Start Well.
Johnny De Bettencourt, who
chalked up his fourth consecutive
victory and is undefeated in league
competition, set down Milwaukee
with seven hits after a shaky start
and never was in trouble.
Dean Cooper opened Milwaukee's
half OF the first with double and
was almost forgotten as the next two
men went out in order. He scored
on Bud Days single. Day reached
