benefits denied workers whenever pos
sible," Mr.. Green said.
"The result has been a drive in
many States for a more severe and
injurious catalog of 'disqualifications,
denying benefits for unreasonably long
periods or permanently, under an in
creasing number of pretexts.
"Now, while benefits are still far
too low and while experience with the
system is limited, we are facing pro-
posals for State merit rating, which
would allow some States to reduce
their tax rates and would put such
competitive pressure on all States to
follow suit that benefits would be per-
manently frozen at low levels.
"The only sound basis on which en-
ployment disks can be met is to have
the risks spread by the use of pooled
fund into which taxes are paid by in
dustries of heavy and light unemploy-
ment burdens alike. To permit in
dividual merit rating systems to de-
plete those pooled funds is to victim
ize the workers for whose benefit the
system was designed. So long as in
dividual States retain that anomaly of
merit rating in the system Of pooled
risks, therefore, the Federation be-
lieves the federal government should
require the States to maintain an aver
age 2.7 per cent rate for certification
of their laws" .-...

by the great political conflict which
divides Europe and threatens the peace
Of the world.
Peace Is World Hope
"The peoples of the world-and
this should be made quite clear here"
he said, "want peace and expect their
governments to do all they can to
maintain peace, as they have all
promised to do without exception
Should, however, this confident hope
not be fulfilled we can only approve
of the decision which the Governing
Body of the international Labor Or
ganization has taken at this critical
time, with the approval of the en-
ployers' and workers representatives,
to give the director full powers to take
all the necessary measures to ensure
that even in the event of an armed
conflict the work of the organization
will be continued in Geneva.
"That decision has met with the ap-
proval of a number of governments
and they can count on the support Of
Switzerland. Only by such means can
the center Of an activity be maintained
which may have occasion to render
outstanding and much needed service
by promoting agreement in economic
and humanitarian matters"
At the close of the opening session,
Charles V. Mclaughlin was nomi-
mated Vice Chairman Of the Govern
ment Group of the Conference, and
Carter Goodrich as its Secretary.
The Conference is to discuss later
the report of the director on the ac-
tivties of the organization. This
years report will be the first present
ed by the new American director, John
q. Winant, former Chairman Of the
Social Security Board.

on the Monopoly Committee followed
with keen interest Mrs. Belester's ad-
venture in buying new suit $50
marked down from $3.50 and her ef-
forts to make her money count.
Mrs. Belester's complaint is that ad-
vertsing and labelling isn't helping her
as a consumer, and that the Govern
ment should step in to grade products.
She showed advertisements on which
she was forced to rely in making pur-
chases.
owe have to be so careful" she ex-
planned, $50 very, very careful" There
was that So dress. She read to the
committee the advertisement, and Mr..
Montgomery, AAA Consumers Coun-
sci, had it enlarged. The department
store proclaimed that the So dress had
"tiny shepherd checks with it's spank
ing white sharkskin;" that it "hatters
the figure" and that it carried "pert
kerchief that adds to it's smartness.' -
But it didn't tell whether it would
wear or not; what it's tensile strength
was; how it would wash. Mrs Beles-
ter wanted facts; facts in clothes,
foods, and commodities that are vital
to millions of American families who
must pinch every penny.
SO Many Factors Omitted
The Belesters aspire to a "new'
secondhand vacuum cleaner, but the
advertisement in this case seemed to
discuss everything except compara-
tive costs and electric requirements
Then there was the beverage adver-
tisement. This particular beverage
was indorsed by James Stewart, mo-
ton picture star.
"But," protested $22-a-week Mrs
Belester without irony, chin being a
movie star-we have different things
in common.
She didn't want Hollywood adver-
tisements-she wanted facts.
Mrs. Belester seemed to a good
many persons present to symbolic
something important. Although there
was poignancy, there was also grim
determination in her testimony. Con,
sumers, it appears, are getting organ
lied. Mrs. Belester herself is an Of
fetal of such a group in Chicago. This
weeks testimony is designed to show
what is being done nationally, whether
in Government grading, consumer
standardizing, or the securing of truth
in advertising. Mrs. Belester is a sort
of portent; the writer's of silly adver.
tising copy-which has demolished
more American trees than forest fires
had better watch out. For there is
no more explosive force in nature thar

all members will pay up so that this
local will be represented at the con-

All of our members are still employ
ed except the twenty-one tank casters
who we expect to be back to work
soon.
We note in the June % copy of the
Herald that a move is in order to Or
ganize all remaining unorganized
sanitary shops. This would be very
good move and one which we should
all work for. 1t would not only bene-
fit the unorganized shops, but those
already organized. 1t would make for
more uniform wage scale and better
jobs for all concerned.

clusion that the real solution for un-
employment is the re-absorption of
idle workers into private industry.
When that is made possible each en-
ployed worker is accorded the oppor-
tunity to work and serve in private
industry and thus becomes a con-
sumer Of goods produced. Purchas
ing power will be enlarged so as to
create an almost new market for the
sale Of manufactured goods and ser
vice
eve cannot afford to experiment.
This situation is altogether too seri-
Gus. We ought to deal with the prob
lem in realistic way and as facts re-
quire. When we consider both the
cause and effect of unemployment we
instinctively ask, What can be done
and what should we do. Who can an
swer that question? Shall the Ma
ton continue the policy of govern
ment-spending? Shall we continue to
feed, clothe and care for an army of
unemployed which, with its depend
ents, numbers approximately fifty mil
lion people? Hoy long can our social
and economic order stand such a
strain?
Zone fact must be faced Until these
millions who are now idle are re-
employed in private industry govern
ment-spending for relief purposes
must continue.
"Would it not be better for all the
people of our great country if the bar
riers which stand in the way prevent
ing the return of the army of unem-
ployed to profitable work in private
industry were removed?
perhaps we cannot tell at the mo-
ment, what constitutes all the barriers
but it would seem the part of wisdom
if Government, employers and workers
would take such action as may be nee
essary in order to bring about the re-
employment of the idle workers.
"A careful diagnosis of the economic
situation should be made. The cause
or causes which produce our economic
ills should be determined and the rem
edy, whatever it might be, should be
applied as quickly as possible"
