Cincinnati, Ohio Strong opposition
to the growing tendency to appoint
naval and military officials to admin
istrative positions outside of arsenals
and navy yards was expressed by the
delegates to the annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor.
The matter came before the con-
vention in resolution introduced by
Delegate Kenneth l. Taylor of the
Massachusetts State Federation of
Labor. The resolution deplored "the
trend at the present time to appoint
in administrative positions officers of
the armed forces of the United States,
in control of purely civil activities of
our government" which ''is contrary
to all principles of government by the
people," and declared that this mill
tary and naval domination of civilian
activity is detrimental to the rights
and continued liberties of the organ
lied as well as the unorganized
workers."
In addition, the Massachusetts reso-
luton urged the American Fedora
tion of Labor to "seek legislation
which will prevent army or navy Of
ficials being placed in control or SUI
pervision of any government activity
performed by civilian workers."
In acting on the resolution sub
mitted by Delegate Taylor, the reso-
lutionS committee of the convention
submitted a report, which the con-
vention adopted, decrying the prac-
tices complained of and asked the
convention to refer the matter to the
A. F. of l.. executive council with
instructions to take any necessary
action to prevent, the supervision of
civilian workers by persons who are
not civilians.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-The annual con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor reaffirmed it's demand for major
amendments to the National Labor
Relations Board instead of the pres
ent three-man board.
The action of the convention was
taken following consideration of the
report by the resolutions committee
which indorsed the statement regard
ing the Labor Relations Act and the
Labor Relations Board made by the
A. F. of l.. executive council in their
report.
John p. Frey, president of the Metal
Trades Department of the A. F. Of l.
and secretary of the resolutions com
mittee, in favoring the report on the
National Labor Relations Act, which
was later adopted by an overwhelm-
ing vote, expressed the opinion that
80 per cent of the Labor Relations
Board and it's various advisers, trial
examiners, counsel and other employees
were either Communists or influenced
by the Communist party.
In affirming the necessity for the
amendments to the Labor Relations
Act proposed by the A. F. of L., the
report said:
"Your committee again emphasizes
the fact that the American Fedora.
tion of Labor was the original spon.
sor of the National Labor Relations
Act. The basic principles of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act, guaran
teeing to workers the rights of self
organization, self determination, free
dom of choice in designating repre-
sentatives and imposing on employer.

representatives of workers are sound

Right of Workers Destroyed
Because of a perverted construc
tion of provisions in the act and al
improper administration of it by th
board, the fundamental rights re
ferred to have been weakened and il
some respects destroyed. Because o

of the board and it's personnel, tn,

A. F. Of L. Opposes Control
OF Civilian Activities By
Army And Navy Officers
Cincinnati Convention Condemns Domination Of Labor
Law Administration By Military And Naval Discipline
'sWhere Civilian Control Alone Should Exist

by Commissioned Officers of the Army
and the Navy.
"Your Committee is advised that
there is upon the statute books a
provision that Army and Navy Of
ficers shall be limited in their super
vision and control of civilian labor,
particularly in the naval and marine
establishments, such as navy yards
and arsenals.
"Your Committee is further in
formed that there has been definite
tendency in recent years on the part
of naval and military officers in con-
troll of arsenals and navy yards, to
ignore this law, and to place Com
missioned Officers in charge of labor
direction and control which should
properly, and under the law, be con
fined to civilians.
"Your Committee further finds
from information brought to it that
there is a steady tendency for this
supervision and control of labor by
Army and Naval Officers to extend
itself to civilian labor outside of navy
yards and arsenals.
"Your Committee notes that in con-
nection with public works and the
administration of labor legislation
that more and more Commissioned
Officers of the Army and Navy are
being appointed to executive and
supervisory positions, bringing the
atmosphere of military discipline,
military orders and military control
where civilian control alone should
exist.
$50 that this growingly serious sit
uation may be adequately handled,
your Committee recommends that the
resolution be referred to the execu-
| tive council with instructions to make
such study and take such steps as are
necessary to prevent any develop
ment of supervision and direction of
civilian labor other than by civilians.
"Your Committee approves of the
purpose and principles of the reso-
luton and therefore recommends
adoption of the committees report.

Accuses Board AS Friendly To Communist Views.

but because of the delay in starting
the hearings, no action was taken on
these amendments at the last session
of Congress"
Nothing could have been more
dangerous to the American Fedora
tion of Labor" the report concluded,
"than to permit decisions to go un-
challenged which, in substance, de-
clared that the American Federation
of Labor did not stand equal before
the law with any other labor organi-
zation, or that the National Labor
Relations Act authorized the board
to reshape the form and structure of
the American trade union movement.
''The dilatory tactics in the COM
mencement of hearings before Con-
gress eventuated in the adoption of
resolution to investigate the National
Labor Relations Board by committee
of the House. The resolution was
adopted by an overwhelming vote.
Responsibility on Board
"If the result of this investigation
should materially impair the act, the
responsibility must rest upon the
shoulders of the National Labor Re-
lations Board and its adamant refusal
to yield to reasonable amendments
| before the resolution was proposed
and must be charged to opposition
groups who, by vicious propaganda
and other reprehensible means. en-
| deavored to prevent the adoption of
| constructive amendments to the act
"When testifying before the com
mittee of the House, President Green
| admonished the committee that if ac-
tion were not taken by Congress be-
fore 1910, it was more than likely
that the whole subject would be made
political issue in the 1910 campaign.
Only through the adoption of rea-
| sonable amendments by the coming
| SeSSlOl Ol oOHSIeSS cdH IillS De
averted.
"Your committee therefor recon-
mends that the position of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor remain un-
changed and in all respects be af-
firmed; that the officers and executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor be directed to continue its
efforts to amend the National Labor
Relations Act in accordance with the
amendments sponsored by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor which are
now pending before Congress.
"Your committee further recon-
mends that emphasis be placed on
that amendment which provides for
the creation of new board with a
membership Of five, and which pro-
vides further for complete over
hauling of the present personnel en-
ployed by the board.
with these recommendations your
committee moves the adoption of the
executive councils report"

AND YOU?

Americans are a peace-lovln2
people but tnlnE lltolc ABOUT H.
Today I'VE live in world OF un.
rest, with war on one side OF
the earth and peace on the
other. AS Americans we should
be proud to live on the side
where there is something be-
sides war and its horrors.
Although a goodly per cent
of feeling is with the British
we should do our best to stay
out of the European mess. The
price of another war in dollars
alone would run into millions,
to say nothing of the human
sacrifice that would be made.
The ,1orld war cost every
family III this country a new
car and gasoline for a year, q
radio, a mechanical refrlgera :
tor, furniture for the living
room, family ticket to the
movie, once week for a year,
and the following clothing: For
father, two suits, one overcoat,
a hat and a pair of shoes; for
Johnnie, two suits, one over
coat, and two pairs of shoes;
for Mary, four dresses, two hats,
and two pairs of shoes; for
mother. four dresses, two hats,
and two coats.
You can see by this that the
next war the U. S. enters. II
she should enter, with all the
new gadeets or modern warfare,
would cost us more than we
could ever hope to gain.
Just twenty years ago the
armistice was signed; let's not
celebrate it by getting embroiled
in the present European con-
flict.

100000 PAID OUT
TO IDLE IN STATE

Idle workers covered by the
unemployment compensation act
had received $409 900 in bene-
fits last week since the law be-
came operative in July, and
S1.O63 had been transferred
from the state fund to the rail-
road retirement board for bene.,
fits to unemployed railroad
men, Barclay Craighead, COM
mission chairman announced.
During last week, the COM
mission mailed benefit checks
totaling $32,O67 to 1888 unem-
ployed throughout the state:
with 500 checks totaling $7,976
being sent out in one day. Rec
ords of the commission show
that many unemployed persons
find work before their 15+Week
benefit receiving period is up,
leaving balances they can draw
against if they again become
UNEMPLOYED.

PAINTING THE SEASONS

Different seasons OF the year
bring pictures which all of us
might enjoy if we will but open
cur eyes to receive them. Many
people go around this world
and never see the work of art
around them. Wake up and
look at the beauty of simple
things!
Spring brings her children of
color forth to brighten the
would and succeeds making
smiling faces and happy hearts.
In order to bring up the flow
ers, nature has provided for
showers. Just try to see the
beauty in the rain instead of
the mud underneath.
After spring comes summer,
preparing to bring forth the
harvest of golden grain and a
riot of color in fruits and ber-
ries.
Indian summer comes rolling
in with its beautiful paintings
of landscape. Autumn has ev-
erv uniform, the chief motive
being to prepare for winter.
The trees are turning from
green into the beautiful colors

which they ended the football
season. Beating Worden 87-0
was a pleasant surprise and tie
ing the highly-touted Forsyth
eleven made a good ending for
a better than average football
year.
The season record of two vic
tories, five losses and one tie
hardly does the team justice
as both the games with Colum-

sified as moral victories"

BIRDS-EYE VIEW

Here I am, sitting among
large group of high school, jul
nior high, and grade school stu
dents. They all seem to know
a lot about football by the way
they yell and hop around. But
here's my view of it.
Half the time the players all
bunch together in one group
I couldn't tell you what they
do that for except that they
are probably telling one an
ether some story to cheer each
other up after all the knocks
they get.
Now they get down on their
knees and yell out some num-
bers. The next thing we see is
nothing but feet and hands as
they all pile on one poor fell
low. I wonder why they all pick
on him; maybe because he has
the ball.
I love to watch them test
strength to see how far they
can kick the ball. Sometimes it
sails through the air with the
greatest of ease, and the next
time someone stops it, the
dumb sap.
just can't understand how
they make that extra point, but
I usually know when something
important takes place by all the
yelling that's going on. Then
I ups and yellS more than the
rest. For what? I wouldn't know.
All I know is our team must
made a point or points.
I go home satisfied but not
knowing what happened to
make me act and put on as I
do. Nobody had better ask me
the score.
