TRADE UNION HUMANITARIANISM

~ example or the broad humantaTlanlSm ire
quently practlced by trade unions is furnished
by the Central Labor Union of Cambridge, Massa-
chusetts, which recently provided an outing for a
large number Of mothers and children in the low
income groups. In addition TO an extensive en-
tertainment the union supplied plenty of edibles
with suitable gift for everyone who attended the
outing The experiment was such success that
Frank S Curtis, secretary of the union recon-
mended that it be duplicated by other A. f. of l..
affiates.
In a letter to Mr., Curtis praising the action of
the Cambridge Central Labor Union, President
William Green of the American Federation Of La
Dor said:
Your central body is to be commended most
highly for the humanitarian service which it rem
dered the mothers and children at Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
'lt is highly gratifying to learn that a central
body, such as the Cambridge Central Labor Union,
chartered by the American Federation of Labor,
serves as an instIumentalty through which
many mothers and children are accorded an oppor-
tunty to enjoy recreation and an outing sponsor
Ell by your Central Labor Union 1t was a mighty
fine service which you rendered.
81 noted with interest the character of the en-
tertainment YOU supplied, and the abundance Of
food which you distributed. Those who con-
tributed toward the cost of your outing are to be
commended for the fine spirit which they mani
tested
Il value very highly the suggestion YOU make
that central bodies throughout the entire nation
set aside day each year for the purpose of Civ
ing an outing to mothers and children in the diff
ferent cities throughout the country"

Pattern Makers League of America and vice
president of the American Federation of Labor,
now labor adviser of the international Labor Or
ganization, in an address before the annual con-
vention of the A. F. of l.. at Cincinnati the
tivities of the l. l.. O.
'The older delegates to this convention" Mr..
Wilson said, "will recall that at the 1914
ton of the American Federation of Labor in Phila-
delphia that Samuel Gompers introduced the res
olution into that convention which gave birth to
the international Labor Organization. The organ
zation was born as result of the World War
from the vision Of Gompers who wanted to see
established some instrumentality that would seek
to raise the standard of life of the working peo-
pie throughout the world.
"This international Labor Organization has
now functioned for twenty years. 1t has brought
many benefits into the lives of millions of people
throughout the world. AS it's preamble states, it
seeks to establish social justice and recognizes the
fundamental truth that world peace can only be
maintained by the establishment of social justice.
There is nothing that the international Labor
Organization does that is not in accord with the
high ideals and great principles of the American
Federation of Labor
"At a time when the dictators are threatening
to destroy freedom and democracy in the world,
we as trade unionists, know that the trade unions
are the bulWarks of both freedom and democ-
racy. For under relationships trade unions are
suppressed and with it all forms of civil liberties.
The one great force that can prevent the de-
struction of the organizations of labor is labor it.

OVER TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
PAID IN TRADE UNION BENEFITS

THE tremendously important service performed
by trade unions in protecting their members
from want caused by unemployment, various
types of disability and in provision for their de-
pendents in of death is strikingly visualized
in the report of the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor to the annual con-
vention of the Federation held in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The report showed that during the twelve months
covered by the Councils report 1926, $50, ,288 SO
was paid by National and International labor or
ganizations to their members in out-of-work, dis
ability, pension, death, sick, and miscellaneous
benefits" Commenting on this creditable achieve
ment, the Executive Council said:
"This vast sum of benefits paid, however, does
not cover the total amount paid by all National
and international organizations and local unions
during the past year. 1t represents the amount
paid by National and international organizations
and other organized units which reported to the
American Federation of Labor.
Many local unions chartered by organizations
affiliated with the American Federation of Labor
and federal labor unions, chartered directly by the
American Federation of Labor, have established
funds out of which benefits were paid locally Thus
there should be added to the total amount set
forth in this report of benefits paid to members
of organized labor, many millions of dollars more
paid by organizations not reporting and by local
unions chartered by National and International
which have established local benefit
funds for the protection of their membership"
A breakdown of the total of $25, ,586, ,288. So
which the Executive Council reports the unions
paid in benefits reveals the following items: Death
benefits, $13, ,l25, ,S53.38; sick benefits, ST. $685.
1919; unemployment benefits, 81, ,582 542 81; old
age benefits, $5,334 ,20654 disability benefits,
$l641 ,09O.SS; miscellaneous benefits, $685.
82712.
1t is evidenced from these figures that the
unions affiliated with the American Federation Of
Labor are vitality concerned with much larger
field than that encompassed by wages, hours,
and work conditions.

WATCH PRICES!

T'IlE outlook for prices is vital to union mem
bers, as soaring prices could easily more
than Offset wage gains resulting from business and
industrial improvement.
"A rapid rise in prices of food and other neces-
saries could cancel workers increasing income and
keep buying power at its present low level the
American Federation of Labor points out, in urg
ing union members to watch prices and report any
undue increase to Federation headquarters.
The Federation declares there has apparently
been price profiteering in some of the recent price
increases and says that by price profteering it
means "raiSing prices more than enough to cover
legitimate costs"
Then the Federation goes on to say that union
members can perform an important service by re-
porting any undue price increases in goods they
buy and by emphasizing that there is no reason
for runaway prices which this paper pointed out
some weeks ago.
''Thcre is no shortage of food in the United
States, and supplies of practically all important
staples are ample" the Federation says Except
i'm cases where prices are below production costs,
there can be no excuse for large increases.

INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION
NISIONED BY GOMPERS

MANY Of those who recite the advantages which
AVA working men and women throughout the
world have gained due to the activities of the In
ternationa Labor Organization of the League OF
Nations are unmindful of the fact the necessity
for such a group to promote better worldwide
economic conditions for the workers was vsioned
Nv the late Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor with the exception
of one year from it's establishment until his death
in1924 many years before the |. l.. 0. was set up
by the Versailles Peace Treaty.
This foresight of Mr. Gompers was tittnpy
recalled by James Wilson, former president of the

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Benefits of labor organization, once
enjoyed, are not forgotten by the
workers, though the organization it
self may have vanished The Nazis
are learning this fact, to their grief
and anger.
The International Transport Work
ers' Federation reports that drastic
wage cuts, speed up of work and other
exploitation of labor under the Hit
Ter regime, especially since the war
began, are making the German work
ers remember keenly the comparative
ly good conditions won by the trade
unions in former years. The Nazis are
we'll aware of the workers. mood and
the Berlin "Treuhander der Arbeit"
warns sternly against the workers
remembering former trade unionist
methods and imaging they can turn
the scarcity of labor to account and
exact the highest possible wages"
But the flood of Nazi measures
hostile to the workers is helping to
create popular front of despair and
misery, the Transport Workers Fed
Grafton says. 1t adds:
"In the struggle for their daily
bread the Nazi workers, the champions
of liberty, the friends of peace are
united in one front. Open resistance
is not yet feasible but they still have
one weapon: for a low wage, slow
work; they will only just do precisely
what they must but no more. And
every bit of work left undone is one
obstacle more to Hitler's war of
plunder."
Premier Molotoff of Russia in
blandly referring to treaties forced on
the little Baltic nations as mutual
assistance pacts" set new record for
gall.
The treaties, as all the world knows,
make Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
virtual Soviet protectorates.
Yet Molotoff has the nerve to eX-
press wonderment that Finland
should be unwilling TO accept similar
treaty"
The Films have the same suspicion
Of Soviet Russia that the hen has of
the fox, when Sir Reynard comes
proferring protection" and profess
ing undying affection for all the hen
tribe.
After seeing what Russia did to the
Baltic nations, Finland would be
stupid indeed if it welcomed Russian
demands with open arms.

In an editorial headed expert"
the Washington Daily News points
out that we have just lost real ex-
pert on neutrality. 1t says:
"Tolbert Hatfield of Ransom, KY,
saw a lot of feuding in his time. He
was young man in the 1S80s, when
the famous Hatfield Mccoy border
war; broke out A first cousin Of
Devil Anse' Hatfield he lost many a
kinsman in the fighting. But some
how Tolbert Hatfield managed to re-
main on peaceful terms with both
sides, and he died in his bed the other
day at the age Of 80.
''We're sorry he's gone, for he
seems to have been one of this
country's real experts on neutrality
under difficult circumstances"

THE BUSINESSMAN

Was arguing. He was against any
Curtailment of a mans right
To make as much money as he could;
Holding that if you interfere
In any way with mans profits you
Will destroy his initiative and he
Won't work. And then |
Remembered that this businessman
Had been in Washington, D. C.
As one Of the dollar-a-year-boys, and
He had worked hard for actually
Nothing, because he didn't even
Cash his one-dollar check,
But kept and framed it.
And | reminded him of this
And asked him to explain.
He had an answer, but it was
Quite unconvincing.
There are other things beside
Profits that will stimulate men
To their best, and the
Man who thinks otherwise is
Understanding himself.

WISDOM

The critics Of democracy have
the easiest of tasks in demon
strat;ng its inefficiency. But there
is something even more important
than efficiency and expediency
namely, justice. And democracy is
the only social order that is admis-
sible, because it is the only one
consistent with justice. The moral
consideration is supreme.-Robert

| @ BOOST JOBS FOR
| UNIONISTS
Union members and their friends
can give a big impetus to union or
ganization and union conditions by do
ing one thing when they buy Christ
mas presents.
That one thing, of course, is to "buy
union"
Which means demanding the union
label on everything they buy and by
insisting on being served by union
men and women.
"Buy union" may mean some slight
inconvenience, in few cases.
1t may be little hard to find cer
tain things bearing the union emblem
but in most cases there will be no
difficulty.
Anyway, suppose there is? Are
union members to be turned from
their purpose by little difficulty?
If they had been in the past, there
would be no labor movement in
America today.
Just a little thought will reveal
some of the ways in which Christmas
buying union" will boost organized
labor.
1t will increase employment of
union men and women, by increasing
sales of union goods and services. In
creased employment of union members
will enlarge union membership and
fatten union treasures.
"Buy union" will strengthen the po-
sition of organized workers in negoti-
ating with their employers.
If employers are benefiting sub
stantially from the sale of union label
goods, they can hardly refuse to look
with favor on requests for higher pay
and improved working conditions.
Higher pay anywhere increases the
national purchasing power and helps
employment.
Buying union" will make nom
union employers better disposed to-
ward unionization of their working
forces and will lead to more unionized
plants and service establishments.
These desirable results, and others,
are promoted by union label buying
any time, but union label buying for
the holiday season is especially eff
fective, because of its great volume.
Perhaps the reader now is thinking,
call this is very well but it's too early
to think of getting Christmas pres
ents."
But it isn't. Now is the time to
resolve to buy early and buy
union and make good on the re-
solves.
Because the early buyer is the wise
bird who gets the best of everything,
at the fairest prices.
He or she has the widest selection,
from stocks of goods that are COM
plete and have not been paved over
by hurrying throngs.
And buying early is help to sales
people who are under great strain
just before Christmas, when last
minute shoppers jam the stores in
frantic effort to buy this and that.
X x x
Not all people can shop early, for
various reasons. Unfortunately, some
can't shop at all. Those out of work
can do little if any buying.
But the great body of union men
and women can begin now to get their
Christmas presents.
Business and industrial improve
ment of the last two or three months
are putting more to work, adding to
the army of labor unionist Christmas
shoppers.
If this army of labor unionists and
their friends begin NOW to demand
union label products, the beneficial re-
suits will soon be apparent.

Let's make it a merry Union La
bel Christmas" says |. N Ornburn of
the A. F. of l.. Union Label Trades
Department.
Widespread and consistent union la
bel buying would make Christmas,
1889, truly Merry Christmas for all
organized labor.
