A few days back the proprietors
of some of Washington's leading
bowling emporiuns went to Rod

party for the newspaper men.
How'll we do it?" Rod happens to
be an idea factory He didn't even
have to think about it. "Al right,
We'll pull off a golf tournament for
the boys" he said. It's on tomor-
row at Manor, and we hope we don't
have to print all the scores. There

The fact that the Brotherhood has
gained wide publicity through the
campaign cannot be overlooked, he
added
Other members of the committee
complained that surrounding towns,
such as Chester and Washington, Pa,
were filled with foreignmade goods.
1t was noted by Secretary Louis
Peislock that the Pittsburgh papers
have been running many letters urg-
ing Japanese and German boycotts in
their letter columns. 1t would appear
that the American people are more
willing to fight the menace Of cheap

PREPARES LABOR
ACT AMENDMENT

Washington, d. C. (AFLWNS).-
Leaders of the American Federation
of Labor revealed that "a bill covering
the amendments to the National La
Dor Relations Act desired by that or
ganization would probably be intro
duced in Congress within few days.
One Of the amendments which the
1898 convention Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor endorsed requires a
change in the unit rule SO that the
National Labor Relations Board will
be compelled to grant a craft or class
the right to select it's bargaining rep
resentative by majority vote.
Another amendment curtails the
power of the Labor Board to invali-
date contracts between unions and
employers.
Other A. +. Of l.. amendments will
ask for definite changes in the Act
designed to safeguard labor from
various types Of maladministration
hitherto used by the board.

Thousands Of Dwellings
In Cities Unfit For Use

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS).-A
well-documented report showing that
only 40 per cent of the 100000
American homes covered in surveys
of 203 urban communities made by the
Works Progress Administration were
considered in good condition was made
public by Col. F. G. Harrington, w. P.
A. Administrator.
Based on a comprehensive three
years study, 16 per cent Of the homes,
with the exception of residences in
New. York City, were rated "unfit for
USE" More than Is per cent had no
private flush toilets, 20 per cent were
without private bath or showers, and
more than 40 per cent lacked central
heating.

of the wage earners Of the United
States are:
81. High wages on a national basis
"2. Continuing of income;
"33. Stability Of employment;
"a. Reasonable profits;
"5. Opportunity for investment of
savings in expanding industries and
in new industries; and
SO. The conservation and adequate
utilization Of natural resources, in
GLIDING human life and happiness.
Organized Labor's Aid Urged
"Organized labor, which has had
such a remarkable growth in member
ship and public significance in recent
years has every incentive to assist in
bringing about a realization of this
program.
Labor now has certain security
against unfair interference and coer-
cion by employers and has in turn q
desire to develop responsibility for in
formed participation with employers
and the country generally to achieve
and stabilize an expanding national
prosperity. Labor unions can build up
self-disciplined, self educated organ
izations for this purpose.

develop broad understanding on the
part of all workers of the problems

Labor Relations Craftsmanship
NisiOned
"The productive capacity of Ameri-
can wage earners is high and they are
proud of their skill and stamina.
Status in our society derives from this
skill for the well-being of the Nation.
This status now largely recognized
will inevitably develop craftsmanship
in the field of employer-cmploye re-
lations.
"This is challenge to the labor
movement and to employer groups and
it will be met realistically.
"We cannot arrive at perfect way
of life over night, but the signs are
clear in American life that intelligent
patriotic, and farsighted employers
and informed, patriotic, forward look
ing labor are already building the
structure of an American way of labor
relations of which we will be proud,
because it will be effective, productive,
and democratic"

and did nothing of the sort, but that
has not stopped the Guild in it's eff
forts to WOO the A. F. Of l.. unions
and to convince the public that there
! is spirit of fraternal harmony be-
tween the Guild and the A. F. of l..
unions in connection with the present
controversy with the two newspapers.
"In recent statement issued by
the Guild attention was called to
picket lines in front of two State street
department stores ip the following
words:
Thousands of holiday shoppers in
the Loop yesterday saw living evil
dence of the AFL-CIO unity as a
Printing Trades picket and a News
paper Guild picket marched side by
side.'
"The Guild was trying desperately
to get underneath the wing of the
American Federation of Labor, under
any terms at all.
"But this was nipped in the bud, as
the following statement issued by the
Chicago printing trades unions shows:
"'As is well known the Chicago
printing trades unions, with the sup
port and active cooperation Of the en-
tire labor movement, are waging a
campaign against a large anti-union
printing concern in Chicago. One of
the products of this concern is an ad-
vertising circular distributed free and
owned by some of the State street de-
partment stores. With two exceptions,
all these stores have agreed to CO.
operate with the printing trade unions
to the end that their printing be done
under union conditions.
Because of the hostile position of
the two stores, our unions picketed
these two State street stores until
Tuesday dec. 2O).
Reasons for Withdrawing
"'Our pickets have now been with
drawn, not because these two stores
are now fair to the printing trade
unions, but because of certain ire
sponsible actions of the leaders of the
American Newspaper Guild, who,
without consulting us, sent people on
Jul piChcC lie, IildICIlIlS up anu uOWIl
with our pickets and carrying signs
without the union label
"'Such action on the part of the
Guild leaders does not help the cause
of labor but rathers hinders it by
making a travesty of labor's power
full weapon the organized picket line,
established for purposes of endeavor-
ing to correct grievances that could
not be solved in any other way.
"'We think the action of the Guild
sets a bad precedent in labor disputes
in this city, inasmuch as their action
tends to make ridiculous serious and
planned picketing campaign launched
by organizations that have over long
period of time maintained a reputa-
ton for seriously endeavoring to re-
solve disputes without resorting to
grotesque stunts that tend only to
bring labor action into disrepute.

Earlier in the day Mooney, now sc
years old, left San Quentin prison il
the custody Of the warden, who hac
been instructed by the Governor to
bring him to Sacramento.
After reviewing the Mooney case
from beginning to end, Governor
Olson said he was thoroughly con
vinced that the conviction of the mur
der charge resulted from perjured tes
timony and expressed his belief thai
Mooney was innocent Of the charge.
Turning to Mooney, the Governor
said:
81 shall hope and expect that yol
will, with every other true friend OF
American liberty and American prog
ress toward industrial and social JUS
tice, urge only the intelligent exer

with the realization that they can have
any kind of government they want by
peaceful process, that any violence OF
person or property will defeat it."
Directly addressing the gray-hairec
victim of the laws injustice, Governor
Olson said:
atom Mooney, will you now stanC
up?"
Mooney arose, smiling.
The Governor continued:

you, Tom Mooney, this full and un
conditional pardon. l now instruc

Prison) to release you to the freedom
which | expect you to exercise witt

There was an outburst of applause
lasting two or three minutes, some OF
the spectators standing in their seats
Then Mooney in brief talk review
ed his own case, declared his complete
innocence, expressed the hope for g
better social order and said that he
would consecrate himself to securing
the freedom Of Warren X. Billings
who was convicted along with Mooney
of completely in the San Francisco
bombing, and given life sentence
but who, due to legal technicalities is
not subject to the same form of gu.
bernatorial action which Governor
Olson applied to Mooney.

Europe (179O-1S15), when industry re-
built it's plant and equipment in a
sweeping change from hand to ma
chine methods, had it's repercussions
in this country. Also, the development
of new land and new industries alb
sorbed large investments for pro-
ductive use.
"Second, the period of railroad
building (1840-1S73) when great
network of railroads was spread
across the American continent.
"Third, the growth to maturity of
two great modern industries-electric
power and automobiles C1896-1929).
Government spending for wars and
government investment for construc-
tion of roads, schools, public buildings
also swelled the total of industrial ac-
tivity in the last $50 years.
Between these periods of great in
dustrial activity were times of lesser
activity, lower employment, relative
industrial stagnation. And there were
also minor industrial recessions and
recoveries like those of 1897 and
1888.
"All of the short periods of recess
ion as well as the long periods of in
dustrial stagnation have meant unem-
ployment and wage cuts for workers
losses and business failures for en-
ployers.
"The problem of America today is
to time our investments so that
periods of depression will be lessened
and periods of industrial growth and
prosperity increased.
National Planning Is Essential
"This cannot be done without some
form of national planning, and bills
now being prepared for Congress will
propose measures for National Plan
ming Board. Such board already has
the support of the Administration. AS
we look forward to National Planning
two points are of primary concern to
Labor:
81. That members of the National
Planning Board shall be drawn from
industry, labor, agriculture, con-
sumers' groups, trade, finance; that
the board shall be group Of repre-
sentative men taken directly from pro-
duction and service industries, not a
group drawn from Government offices
that existing trade, labor and farm or
ganizations be brought into cooper
alton with the work of the National
Planning Board. If the board MEM
bers choose their own technical advis-
ors, this also will safeguard against
bureaucracy.
"2. That planning for increased pro-
duction in the United States shall be
directed toward the goal of higher
living standards for all, and not to-
ward undue or unnecessary production
for military purposes; that jobs shall
be created in industries producing
goods needed by the people rather
than munitions, except for the muni-
tions needed for national defense. If
these two points are carefully safe
guarded, we can have national plan
ming by democratic methods and
avoid the pitfalls of Fascism.
"Once National Planning Board is
established, with authority to gather
information, we shall have an agency
which can collect the facts and sug-
gest (a) An immediate program to
lift industrial production as nearly, as
practicable to full capacity, and (b)
long term program to stabilize and
increase production, to give greater
job security and raise living stand
ards"

In 1874. Vermont and Kentucky wore admitted to
the Union and the number Of stars and of s+ri nes WAS
raised to fifteen in correspondence. other states

would be TOO many stripes. So in 1918 Congress en-
acted that the number Of stripes reduced and re-
stri cted henoeforth to thirteen represeuting the
thirteen original states; while star should be
added for each succeeding state. That law Is the
