Disease Will Not Be
One-DdY AHdir

Washington, D. C. OLNS). - With
birthday in more than 5000 communi-
ties throughout the nation the Infan-
til Paralysis Campaign for 1889 is off
to flying start.
The celebration of President Roose-
velt's birthday marks only the initial
phase Of this yearly campaign. The
fight against the crippling disease and
the after care of the polio victims will
be carried on by the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis.
In reviewing the work of the Ma
tional Foundation, William Gre n,
chairman of the Labor Division and
member of the National Committee of
the National Foundation, emphasized:
"To carry on this fight to sue
cessful issue the National Foundation
must have the generous support Of
every American, not one day or one
night Of the year, but during the en-
tire year. Our contributions must not
cease with the closing hours of the
celebration. The support and coopera-
ton of our doctors and scientists can
not alone assure ultimate success. To
wage this fight to conclusive and
final victory, the doctors and scientists,
the hospitals and laboratories, must
have the necessary material means. 1t
is within our power to supply those
means. More than that it is our duty,
to ourselves and to the nation, to rid
our land of this treacherous disease"

Private Industry
Cun Never Enplov
All Without Jobs
Senator Pepper Declares Re-
turn Of Prosperity Will
Not Solve Problem

Chicago QLNS).-Private industry
alone will never be able to employ all
the men and women of the country
who "need to work and want to work."
Senator Claude Pepper of Florida told
the National Gamers Association here.
He cited relative unemployment fig
ures for the United States, England,
France, Holland, Italy, Germany and
Japan and said part of the world had
sacrificed liberties and submitted to
wartime discipline for economic sta
bility and security.
"There are some who think tha> 4
return Of prosperity will solve the un-
employment problem" he said. "They
might as we'll expect the unemploy-
ment problem to be solved by the re-
turn of the buggy factories as to anti
cipate that"
Pepper reviewed statistics pre-
sented to the Senate monopoly in
vestigating committee showing
the nations unemployment figure
still would be 100000 with
return to the prosperity level of
1929.
"The machine age is with U.S." he
said. "In spite of all of its virtues,
Notwithstanding the fact that it has
given US a higher standard Of living
than we could ever have enjoyed the
other way, it is yet fact with our
economy organized as it is, there will
never be an opportunity in private in
dustry for anything like the men and
women of this country who need to
work and want to work."

Negofiate Contract With Brotherhood,
Suggests Labor Board To Puuldinq Co.
Labor Disputes Act
Hearings Are Begun
Sharp Differences Of Opin-
ion Between Members Of
Comlnitte Seen

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-Sharp diff
ferences of opinion between members
of the Labor Committee of the House
of Representatives became apparent
shortly after hearings were opened
last week on House Bill No. Ga, pro-
posing the enactment of state labor
relations act to guarantee collective
bargaining in intra- state industry.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative William H. Whetro, Ironton,
general organizer for the American
Federation of Labor, which is sponsor
ing the bill through the Ohio State
Federation Of Labor, it's state branch.
Antaganism towards the provisions
of the measure was evident from the
questions and statements made by
Chairman l.. H. Myers, Lima, and
members Guy c. Hiner, Canton, who
was chairman of the Law and Order
League in Stark county during the la
Dor disputes there last year, and
Evert f. Addison, Columbus.
Tempers flared on several occasions
as Representative Whetro's explana-
tion of the measure was interrupted,
principally by the three named above,
who have apparently judged the bill
"guilty" before giving it a fair hear
ing.
Thomas ]. Donnelly, Secretary
Treasurer of the Ohio State Fedora
ton Of Labor, reminded the Commit
tee members that both political parties
in their platforms had favored the
enactment of Legislation to set up ma
chinery for prevention or amicable set
tlement of labor disputes.
"You cannot deny the worker his
right. to organize or join a Union of
his own choosing for the purpose of
bargaining collectively" Secretary
Donnelly warned the Committee.

Brotherhood Members Invited To Visit
Local Union III On Way To Frisco Fair
First Hearing Held
On Injunction Bill
Bill Proposes Uniform Pro.
cedure In Labor
Disputes

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-First hear.
ing was held last week before the Ju.
dietary Committee Of the House OF
Representatives on House Bill No. lG
proposing uniform procedure for Ohio
courts in suits for injunction when la.
for disputes are involved.
Introduced by Representative Lody
Huml, Cleveland, at the request OF
Thomas ]. Donnelly, Secretary-Treas-
urer and Legislative Agent Of the Ohio
State Federation Of Labor, the meas.
ure is patterned after the Federal Nor
ris-LaGuardia Act in every material
respect.
Representative Huml briefly ex-
planned each detail Of the measure Ia
the Committee, pointing out that its
provisions had been held constitutional
by the Y. S. Supreme Court.
Secretary Donnelly informed the
Committee that the bill was sponsored
by the American Federation Of Labor,
and urged its favorable consideration
as a means to end labor disputes. He
said he would appear before the Com
mittee again at later date in behalf
of the bill.
j. H. Orgill, attorney for the Cleve-
land Federation of Labor, spoke in
favor of the measures enactment. He
declared that majority of the states
judiciary had adopted the procedure
specified in the bill by refusing to issue
injunctions without notice and oppor-
tunity for hearing.
Attorney Orgill said his experience
with the courts had been different than
that expressed by John H. Price, at
torney for the Steel Workers Organ
izing Committee of the CIO, who, in
preceding Attorney Orgill, had at
tackled the attitude Of Ohio courts to-
wards labor.

Firm Official To Nome Date
For Conference With
Potters' Union
LOCAL ENCOURAGED
Decision Of Bodrd Greeted
By Members of Local
Union No. l58

New Bedford, MaSS.-At q hearing
before the National Labor Relations
Board in Boston, January II, a recon-
mendation was made by A. Howard
Myers, regional director, that the J. l.
Paulding Company, through its Off
cials, bargain and negotiate contract
with the National Brotherhood of Op-
erative Potters for it's members in
New Bedford, Local Union 153.
The local has endeavored since last
April to bring about a condition,
through the Labor Board, whereby the
firm would be compelled to recognize
a legitimate bargaining agency instead
of the company union which was insti-
gated and instituted by representatives
of the j. l. Paulding Company.
This hearing was brought about
through the persistent efforts of the
officials of Local Union No. 1853 and
First Vice President f. l., Wheatley.
The firm was represented at the meet
ing by G. Johnson, treasurer and
chairman Of the board of directors; j.
Johnson, president, and Wallace, sec
retary.
Mr.. Myers informed both groups
that he would send letter to the COM
pany, making a recommendation that
the firm and the company sit down in
an attempt to negotiate the complaint
that had been pending. The position of
the National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters was expressed when First
Vice President Wheatley and Local
President George Durant assured Di-
rector Myers the organization was, and
always had been willing to carry out
the suggestion.
Mr.. Myers further recommended
that if and when the porcelain plant
increased it's operations, preference in
hiring would be given former en-
ployes, those working at the time of
the shutdown last February.
This decision handed down by the
board is extremely encouraging to the
employees and members Of Local Union
l58. 1t is the desire Of everyone con-
cerned to seek only those advantages
to which we are entitled and at the
same time to establish a friendly rela-
tionship with the officials Of the j. l.
Paulding Company.
All members not now employed are
requested to get in touch with Brother
George A. Durant in order that this
information can be used when the con-
ference convenes.
Mr.. G. Johnson will take the letter
sent by the Labor Board to the direc-
tors of his company, who, in turn, will
arrange date and notify the Boston
Labor Board when a conference will
be held with Brotherhood officials and
a committee from Local 1851
The members wish to explain to the

More Cooperation
With Drive Wanted
East Palestine Fdlling Down
On BUY American"
Movement

East Palestine, o. Probably the
biggest interest-packed hour of the
year was spent by members of Local
Union 81 last meeting night, Febru-
ary 6, when several interesting SUBJ
jects were brought up for discussion.
The first thing we took a shot at was
the lack Of cooperation in East Pales-
tine with the "Buy American" move
ment. We admit there is still some for
eign merchandise to be found here;
and one store, the most fragrant
abuser, was mentioned recently in the
Herald.
We wish to remind the citizens here
that nearly 1000 of you signed the
pledge to buy only American-made
goods whenever possible. Right now
we seem to be exactly in the middle
of depression which has settled in
East Palestine. Any member of the
community continuing to purchase
foreign-made articles is inviting pro-
longing of this slump.
Another sore spot in our local is the
fact that number Of members insist
upon patronizing barber shops not dis
playing the union card. We are not
going to make any comments at this
time, but an investigation is going to
be made in the immediate future. If
we find any shops we are certain are
unfair to unions, we will publish the
name of any member seen walking into
them and we won't beat about
the bush.
We understand the man who invent
ed this new game Of Chinese checkers
received his ideas from Brothers Ray
Thorn and Clayton Sitter. We never
know where they will jump next.

Should Be Included
In Benefits

Washington, d. C. (AFLWNS).-A
six-point program to bring an addi.
tional six million persons under the
old-age pension system Of the Socia
Security Act was presented to thu
House Ways and Means Committee by
Arthur j. Altmeyer, chairman Of the
Social Security Board. Unemployment,
compensation for jobless workers, he
said, should be similarly expanded.
Expansion Program Outlined
Appearing as the first witness as the

cial security program, Mr.. Altmeyer
recommended
l. Start monthly benefits under old
age insurance plan in 1910 instead of
1912.
2. Pay supplementary benefits for
aged wives; also orphans.
3. Bring agricultural labor employ
ed on big-scale farms and domestic
workers into system.
4. Strengthen legislation giving aid
to aged, blind and dependent children.
5. Increase present grants to needy
aged by States and permit the board
to differentiate between poorer" and
"richer" States in apportioning Feder-
al cash aid.
6. Avoid financing problems. (Alt-
meyer said that the Treasury Depart
ment will present a report on this
phase Of the expansion program.)
Declaring the social security pro-
gram to be sound, Altmeyer urged that
revision Of the act should be made
within the existing framework. He
said:

that it is Enthusiastically feasible to
bring into the system large numbers

 CAPT. IGNORED

Bergen. Norway, Nov. i5.--(UP)-- Capt. Joseph A. Gainard mounted a stuffed king cod on the bridge of the American freighter City of Flint today as a good luck talisman for the voyage home.

Tolerant Britain Lets Her No. 1 Fascist Go On Talking
Scotland Yard EyeS--But Doesn't Squelch MOsley
BY MILTON BRONNER (NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 London, Nov. l5-England's Jump ing Johnny, Sir Oswald Mosley, who has changed his politics more often than some men change their shirts, is still being allowed to speak his mind.
 Mosley, an admirer of Nazism and Fascisrn, is today the beneficiary of a tolerance that Hitler would not extend to a German nor Mussolini Co an Italian.
 Though Mosley's country is en- gagged in deadly war with Maitland, Mosley is permitted his bowling dervish act of attacking the govern ment and demanding peace negotia- tions He is also permitted to publish his weekly hair-tearing sheet-"Ac- tion,"
 RODE POLITICAL
 -GO-ROUND
 For one who Is comparatively young-only 43-Mosley has boxed the compass in his political beliefs and then bounced back.
 Rich and heir to baronetcy, with an honorable record as a sol- dier in the last war, like most of his class he entered politics as a rigid Tory and was duly elected to Par lament.
 With an abundant gift of gab and even more self-contidence, he was a young man-in-a- hurry. He would not stay hitched. He became a sort of Independent Tory. Then one fine day he did the flying trapeze act and \ landed squarely in the Labor party.
 The young aristocrat kept sort of salon for the Socialists. He be- came the -haired boy of Labor Prime Minister Ramsay Mcdonald, who made him Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, thereby creating many heartburnings because he Jumped his oswald over the heads of many men who had grown erizzled in the service of their party,
 But once more Mosley did not stay hitched. He left the Labor party and started his own party. This died of malnutrition.
 But Mosley was not idle for long He created his own British Union of Fascists. It was largely initiative From the FascistS of Italy 1t took the black shirt. From Hitler 1t took the salute and the theatrical meet ink ct which all the limelights are flooded on Mosley when he comes on the stage to speak. From Hitler, too, 1t took the idea of corps of hefty young men to act as guards inside the meeting hall. From Hitler 1t took its pnti-Semitism and sent its so- phomoric speakers down Into Lon don's East End where trouble was often started.
 MOSLEY WANTS
 TO STOP THE WAR
 The war has not stopped Mosley He has now started a stop-the-war campaign. His thesis is that neither the people nor Parliament were real ly consulted. His paper screams 1t in every edition. It proclaifns that the great oswald Is the leader who can give the British people peace and

JOHNNY BROACA
 IN MORE TROUBLE

Barnstable, Mass, Nov. 15-(UP)-- Already granted continued custody of her son, Mrs. Cordelia Broaca, wife of the Cleveland Indians pitcher Johnny Broaca, resumed her fight for more alimony in probate court today. Barelegged and wearing her "only dress" Mrs. Broaca. 23, tes- tifed yesterday that she could not buy clothing for her two year old son and that she herself had no stockings, no winter coat and only one winter dress. She now is getting $i9 a week alimony from Broaca from whom she was divorced in 1887, but told the court she neded SIS weekly to support herself and son.
 Mrs. Broaca's attorney informed the court there was no chance of reconciliation because you can't expect too much love and affection by wife struggling to get along on SIS a week when her husband is get- ting $S,000 year."
