Washington, D. C.-The deep inter-
est working men and women have in
the Federal census to be taken next
spring is emphasized in a statement
on the scene of this comprehensive
count of the population of the United
States issued by the Bureau of the
Census here.
Labor should be more than ordi-
narily interested in the Sixteenth De-
cennial Census of Population which
will start on April l, 1910, and in the
several other census which will be
taken by the Bureau of the Census
during the same year," the statement
said.
Nineteen hundred and forty is the
150th anniversary of the first census
of population in the United States;
and since 1890 the number of our peo-
pie has grown from little under
100000 to over 130,000,0OO. With
this enormous. growth of population
has come great increase in Amer
ica's problems, and especially in la
boris problems. 1t is one of the func-
tions of the Census reports to help to
define and clarity those problems for
those who are trying to solve them
among whom trades union leaders are
of paramount Importance.

Security Woge" Is

Has Disastrous Effect on the
"Structure Of Prevailing
Wages"
BY President James NJ. Duffy, First

By President James NJ. Duffy, First
Vice President E. L. Wheatley and
John O'Malley.
Strong condemnation of the aboli-
tion of prevailing hourly wage rates
on w. P. A. projects in the work re-
lief law enacted by the first session
Of the seventy-sixth Congress that
adjourned last August and the sub
stitution therefor of the so-called
security wage" based upon the vary
ing costs of living in geographical
areas, was expressed by the 1889 con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor at Cincinnati, Ohio.
In discussing prevailing wage rates
on work relief under the Works Pro
jects Administration and the sinister
effect Of the action of Congress in
abolishing them, the convention said:
"Section Is (a) of the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act of 1889 Zap
proved June 80, 1887 did away with
the requirement that not less than
the prevailing hourly wages be paid
to the workers employed on w. P. A.
projects.
"This section, based on recommend
ations of Colonel F. C. Harrington,
Commissioner of Works Projects, was
adopted by Congress in the face of
nationwide opposition of organized
labor and it's friends. AS approved by
the President it authorized the Works
Projects Commissioner to fix wages
in such way that the monthly earn
ing schedule would not substantially
affect the current national average
labor cost per person of the Works
Projects Administration

WAR ON PARALYSIS
Every Greeting Will Receive

| Orders for more than one and one
half million personal greeting cards
have been received by the Labor Di-
vision of the Committee for the Cele-
bration of the Presidents Birthday,
as organized labor prepares to per-
sonally congratulate President Roose-
welt on his 5sth birthday by mailing
| individual greeting cards direct to the
| White House.
Printers have orders for one million
additional cards as labor prepares to
strike telling blow against the
scourge of infantile paralysis. The
card contains a beautiful sentiment
and ample coin enclosures for the
dimes which are doing so much to aid
the paralysis sufferers. There is also
a space for the contributors name and
address so the donor can expect
acknowledgement of his or her gift.
The cards will soon be in the hands
of President James NJ. Duffy of the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters who will see that they are
quickly turned over to the various To-
Gals in the organization.
Thirty million dimes is the goal of
the national drive this year. President
Duffy has stated he is certain that
every potter will do his bit in this
war on suffering.

the A. F. L. who urges every laboring
effort to aid in stamping out this
dreaded disease from the country. Mr..
Green stated every donor will receive
an acknowledgement of his contribu-
ton as the White House sends back
the part of the card bearing the sig
nature and address and returns it to
the sender.
AS in past years. Labor is expected
to play the leading part in this hu-
manitarian struggle against odds,
while other leading countries of the
world strive to harm humans, Amer
lea goes to the front against disease
which has been striking at her youth.
The good results obtained over the
past few years should encourage all
to double their efforts until the fight
is won.

Democracy
By President James M. Duffy, First

By President James M. Duffy, First
Vice President E. L. Wheatley and
John O'Malley.
A militantly- -phrased declaration de-
manding the prompt dismissal of Com
munists and Communist sympathizers
from administrative positions in Fed
eral and State Governments and urg-
ing unions affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to refuse to
accept for membership "any known
member of, the Communist Party, or
active sympathizer," was made by the
1889 A. F. of l.. convention at Gin
cinnati, Ohio.
The menace of Communists and
their fellow travellers to American in
stitutions and the American labor
movement was presented to the con-
vention in a resolution introduced by
Delegates John j. Mara and George
w. Lawson of the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union.
Communists Are Against American
Institutions
ut is the openly avowed and clearly
stated purpose of the Communist
Party" the resolution said, "to obtain
control of labor unions in order, first,
to use them as recruiting grounds for
more members and followers; second
ly, to use them in order to spread in
flammatory propaganda and so influ-
ence the great mass of the workers;
and thirdly, to use them to create
strikes and make impractical demands
in order to disrupt industry and then
to seize it for the social revolution.
Communism, in theory and prac-
tice, is violently opposed to democ-
racy in all it's forms, is militantly
atheistic in principle, and is in every
way opposed to American institutions
and the American way Of life.
Seek Control of Unions For Class
War Purposes
Communist agitators, working un-
der definite instructions from the or
ganized Communist Party, are con-
stantly endeavoring to bore from
within in every union, to the end that
they may obtain positions Of influence
and control and so lead the workers
along the road to Communism.
"In every instance where Commun-
ist-led groups have obtained any
measure of such control in labor
unions they have lead the workers in

New Castle, Pa.-What changes

We might ask farther what the pass
ing of another year will show in
changing the set up of toilet and

The lavatory in most bathrooms are
made of iron which does not make as
nice a looking job as the porcelain.
The color is usually blush white
and it is harder to keep clean in addi-
ton to chipping at the slightest pro-
vocation. Yet it seems the dealer re-
ceives a bigger profit from this type
and therefore pushes the sale.

Present System Is Keeping
Millions Of Workers
Unemployed

The deplorable effects on working
men and women of the destruction of
craftsmanship and the herding of
workers in mass production under the
present system for the production and
distribution Of wealth, where they
lose individuality, becoming mere cogs
in system of production and control
by others, accompanied with millions
of unemployed, are set forth by Hew-
lett Johnson, the Dean of Canterbury
Cathedral, in an article in The Wit
ness, published by the Episcopal
Church.
"Man has achieved his present po-
sition of almost limitless production
by giving up his independence and
working in a team," Dean Johnson
says.
"Only by teamwork do we really
advance. But every time we enter a
team we sacrifice independence; we
lean on others. 1t was so in Alpine
climbing. No man conquers the high
er mountains alone; in a team even
Everest is threatened.
Long ago, man was entirely inde-
pendent, sowing his own fields, hunt
ing his own food, making his own
clothes. His output was small.
"In combination his stride length
ened. No longer clothing and feeding
himself in isolation from others, he
associates with his fellows, specializes
his tasks, and by his teamwork in
creases his productive power enor-
mously. He grows richer.

(By Ohio Labor News Service)

onlO NEWS StTNlCcJ
Columbus, GA study completed
last week by the state department of
public welfare of old age assistance
programs throughout the country in
dicated that Ohio will rank among the
top three states in providing for its
needy aged during 1889.
On the basis of the study which
covered old-age assistance operations
for the first nine months of the year
in 48 states, the District of Columbia,
and the Territories Of Alaska and
Hawaii, Ohio ranked among the lead
ers in practically all phases in taking
care of its aged.
From January through September,
Ohio paid its recipients grants total
ling S23,407,860 an amount which was
surpassed only by two other states
California and New York.
During the nine-month period, total
payments in the eight most populous
states in the country included:
California, $3S,149,416; New York,

For the entire year of 1889, Ohio's
total payments are expected to sur
pass those Of New York since the

Columbus, O.-Although the relief
crisis in Cleveland and Toledo has
been abated, representatives of large
municipalities Of Ohio insisted last
week to a special Ohio Senate Com
mittee on taxation and revenue that
a special session of the 93rd General
Assembly is necessary to prevent q
recurrence Of the relief problem in
1910.
The problem Of financing relief in
Cleveland for the balance of this year
has been solved through cooperation
Of the state administration, Mayor
Harold H. Burton told the committee,
but added that the Legislature would
have to aid the cities most affected in
1910.
Toledo's relief requirements have
dropped approximately 80 per cent
since full scale relief was abandoned
September Is, but Martin S. Dodd, di-
rector of law in Toledo, told the COM
mittee that the difficulty in Toledo
was the problem of paying $800,00O in
relief bills for 1899.
Spokesman from Cleveland, Barber

Elyria explained the outlook in those
cities to the committee. Several said
there is a need for reenactment of

the old debts can be refunded.
