LABOR AND LIBRARIES

As organized labor becomes an accepted social
institution, it has a right to ask for special
group services from social agencies. The unions
of locality with turn to the Public LII
brary of their locality and ask that special la
bor division be developed with a specialist in
charge able to advise and serve their group
In such division should be accumulated the
major union publications; the publications and bull
etns of the Federal Departments developing In
formation Labor needs the chief state pubca-
tions bearing on labor; histories of labor move
ments and autobiographies of labor men; histories
of industries and technical developments statistical
and other data disclosing the social progress of La
Dor. Information on current and continuing prob
lens of Labor should be accumulated and made ac-
cessible to those dealing with the problems.
The special librarian in charge of the labor dl-
vision should have special fitness for the work and
should be able to help workers with their problems
and in addition put them in touch with other per-
sons and sources of help.
A library like any other public agency becomes
aware of a group need as the group asks for ser
vice. The first step in securing services from the
public library should be a request from the CEN
trail labor union which may be submitted by the
officers of the central labor union or it's committee
on education. Whoever makes the request should
be prepared to follow through the proposal and
maintain an advisory relationship to the labor dl
vision in the library and its service The request
on the library when granted must be followed by
additional steps necessary to show union members
how they can benefit and so help the division be-
come a useful, constructive service to the COM
munity
Libraries, like other public agencies, are not
justified in developing services that do not meet
an existing need. Here is a good field for Labor
to take the initiative. representative of an in
ternational union has already urged such a service
in the American Library Association and found
understanding response. Labor locally must plan
for its own needs. Some central labor unions have
developed excellent labor libraries but library SER
vices require larger budget than the union can
undelwrite. We should therefore look to the tax
supported agency. We have heard much spoken
of the dignity Of Labor Here is an opportunity
to get action that will create service expressing
that dignity in practical terms. Every central la
Dor union is urged to take action.

LUDLOW URGES WAR VOTE
AS MOVE TO BROADEN
DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES

Washington, d. C. GLNS).-De-
nouncing the present war-declaring
mechanism as "autocratic," Rep. Louis
Ludlow Of Indiana appealed for APP
proval of a constitutional amendment
requiring a national referendum on
participation in foreign war.
Ludlow, testifying before a Senate
subcommittee, asserted that
"the existing war-making mechanism
is grossly defective in that it central
ICES too much power in Congress and
the White House.
"The war referendum amendment
would broaden the democratic process
es so that the American citizen would
have the right to vote not only on do
mestic matters but on the internat-
onal questions of war or peace, which
affects him more vitally and closely
than any domestic question that could
possibly be imagined" the author of
the war referendum plan asserted.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

The Twentieth Century Fund has
got out a report that should be of
large interest to labor, and particular
ly to labor's wife. 1t deals with the
old but steadily growing spread" be-
tween what the farmer gets for the
food he raises, and what the consumer
pays. In summary, the report says,
in part
"The farmer got 7/1O of cent per
pound for cabbage in 1886, the house
wife had to pay cents a pound at
the corner grocery. She paid an aver
age of 55 cents for bunch of carrots
for which the farmers got one cent
The oranges she bought at an average
of 31.S cents a dozen brought the
grower 81 cents. Of the 1.9 cents she
paid for pound of potatoes, the farm
er received O.S cent"
On all these things, there is GER
tain loss between grower and con-
sumer but not even on such perish
able things as peaches and carrots
does this even begin to cover the
spread.
The report on Maryland tomatoes,
a singularly favorable place close to
huge markets, shows that of each
dollar paid by the consumer for can
ned tomatoes,
The farmer received 1S.7 cents,
The Gamer ....--.--..-.-.......-....45.9 cents,
The broker -.................-..... SO cents,
The wholesaler .....................11.5 cents,
The retailer 200 cents,
For every dollar the consumer pays
for bread, the farmer gets 1873 cents
and the wholesale baker 55.4 cents.
There is nothing new about these
facts, except the steady growth in the
spread and the wide extent of the sur
vey. Meat costs the consumer about
twice as much as the farmer gets for
the meat on the live animal The re-
port seems to shirk the spread on
milk, which testimony before the
Monopoly Committee shows can be
sold at a profit in stores for 6 and 8
cents a quart, and costs the average
consumer 13.

THE LATE FRANK p. WALSH
lErOm the New York TimeSl

EltANK WALSH lived full life, giving gener-
ously of his time and ability to causes in which
he believed. He began his political career by de-
nouncing the sins of his own party, and early in
his legal career he renounced all corporation prac-
tice. He was already one of the leading labor
lawyers Of the country when President Wilson
named him to head the United States Commission
on Industrial Relations.
His chief interests ever since had been repre-
Sented by what he called "the rights of man
against the wrongs Of property" A. Wilsonian
radical in those days, he subsequently became a
Roosevelt liberal. He was logical choice as
first president of the National Lawyers Guild, or
ganlzed to support Mr. RooseveltS crusade for
greater liberalism in the courts. When he believed
that the Guild had refused to take a proper stand
against Communism and all other relationships,

grim adversary and an untring dealist

A RATHER SERIOUS CHOICE

4 report was turned in at the meeting Of the
American Medical Association in ST. Louis,
bitterly denouncng other reports of the need of
better medical service, and that there are not in
the entire United States more than 10000 per-
sons who do not get any medical service they need.
Perhaps the easiest way to blow up this rdicu-
louS claim is to refer to Jessamne Whitneys study
of the 1880 census reports in 10 states This study
showed, and no one has denied, that infant death
rates go up as the fathers income goes down
that seven Of the 10 chief diseases on the medical
calendar take larger toll from the poor than from
the well to do or the rich that the death rate
among day laborers is seven times as high as
among professional men.
Either an enormous number of our poorer peo-
pie do not get proper medical attention, or medical
attention Is well nigh worthless. Which horn OF
this dilemma does the A. M. A. choose?

9 LABOR JOLTS REDS AND
NAZI

House committee investigating the
Works Progress Administration has
been hearing charges of Communist
influence in the WPA writer's projects,
particularly in New York City.
The charges may not all be we'll
founded. Some quite likely are eXag-
gerated.
Allegations of Communist hell
raising in the writer's projects are not
new. They have been heard for years.
Eugene Lyons, who knows his Com
munists, on their native Russian
heath, as we'll as in this country, de-
scribed their activities last year in the
New Leader of New York.
He reported that hell-raising was
one of the chief interests of WPA
Communist WRITERS"
X X X
Testimony before the House investi-
gators tends to support Lyons
charges.
The Reds tactics kept the writer's
projects and some other WPA pro-
jects in an uproar.
Some branches have actually been
under Communist domination, enforced
by everything from persuasion to bru
tai physical violence.
Men and women on the WPA rolls
desirous of doing their work in an eff
ficient manner were disgusted They
could do little against the gangster-
like tactics Of the Reds, however.
Constant turmoil, whenever it suit
ed the Reds purpose, was their policy.
Their aim was promotion of the par
ticular brand of Communism espoused
by Joe Stain and his Moscow pals.

Communism and it's twin, Nazi-ism
are in for some jolts in Mexico Central
and South America.
The jolts will be administered by
the Pan-American Federation of La
Dor, plans for whose reorganization
have just been made at meetings in
Washington.
The Federation has been inactive
for some years. The times now call
for it's revival and it has risen to the
occasion.
Big danger spot for democratic pro-
cedure, to which the Federation is
committed, is Mexico. Nazi prop
uganda chiefs are pushing their gospel
there and hope for great things from
their drive

CASHING CHECKS ON
ACCOUNT NUMBERS

Social security account numbers
should not be used as Identification for
cashing checks or for other purposes
except to identify worker in estab-
fishing his wage credits for old-age
insurance.
This statement was made today by
Mr.. Edwin V. Faulhaber, manager Of
the Social Security Board field office
in Youngstown, Ohio. Commenting on
the danger Of accepting a social Sc
curity card as positive identification
Mr.. Faulhaber said:
"Recently merchants have informed
US they have cashed checks presented
by persons who offered social security
cards and in some cases automobile
operator or other licenses as identfi-
cation. In some instances the checks
were found to be worthless and eff
forts to trace the persons presenting
them failed.
"The fact that man has an ac-
count number card is not positive
proof that this card contains his real
name. Persons who are asked to ac-
cept such identification should request
further proof that the individual is
actually the person named on the card.
In some instances lost cards have been
used by the finders in improper and
fraudulent schemes
