German Masses Said
To Oppose War

London (ILNS) The Independent
Labor Party announced it has re-
ceived declaration from independent
Socialists in Germany that the masses
of Germans "don't want this war"
The message, written on the eve of
the outbreak of hostilities, said that
Adolf Hitler was going to war with
Poland against the will of large
masses of the population"
German workers don't want this
war;" the message said. German
peasants don't want it. Though we
love our native country, we have
nothing in common with the present
regime.
"This war is not our war, this fight
is not our fight, and we ask you in
the midst of death and destruction
not to forget the ideals for which we
died under torture"

APPOINT Sen. WALSH
TO CIVIL COMMITTEE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Chair-
man Ebert B. Thomas of the Senate
education and labor committee an
nounced appointment of Senator Da-
vid |. Walsh as third member of the
Senate civil liberties committee.
Walsh will fill a vacancy by the
death of Senator Louis Murphy in
1886. The subcommittee is headed
by Senator La Toilette. Thomas is
the other member.
Hearings of the subcommittee had
been scheduled to begin in California
soon and probably would have been
started within few weeks except for
the special session, Thomas said.
"The civil liberties committee" !"
Thomas said, Originally was ap-
pointed by Senator Walsh when he
was chairman of the committee on
education and labor His coming to
the subcommittee assures proponents
of civil liberties of the service of a
champion of the program from the
beginning"

has been called into special session
to deal primarily with the neutrality
issue. Neutrality, however, is not the
only important issue before the ma
tion. There are others which are vi
tally important, including unemploy-
ment.
For close to 10 years, the unem-
ployment problem has resisted every
attempt at solution. There are still
millions without work in private in
dustry. The "help wanted sign is
now appearing on factory gates where
it has not been seen in years. This
is good news-very good indeed-but
there is no indication that all the idle
will soon be put to work.
AS labor has repeatedly pointed out,
the unemployment problem must be
tackled by a cooperative effort of
every element in the nation. Launch
ing of such an effort might well be
considered by Congress at the special
session.
Congress might well, also, give Sc
rious consideration to correcting some
of the manifest injustices and made
quacies of the present elief Act, which
cries aloud for revision. Betterment
of the law would aid in the attack
on unemployment and help to build
national unity and strengthen conf
dence in democratic government.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

war psychology. A wartime gov
ernment will give us sudden prosper
ity. But in the short-cutting we may
find too late that we have cut short
our democracy. Without any excep-
tions, democracy has always and will
always suffer in its nature and in its
structure by the measures made nee
essary in war; Authority becomes
concentrated. Opinion becomes cen
trally controlled. The wheels move
faster and every turn brings action.
Liberties are crippled and rights are
restricted. All goes by the board for
ultimate victory. Autocracy rides
and rides fast at the price of de-
mocracy.
And then comes the end. Call it
what you will. Peace, victory, de-
feat, truce, compromise or stalemate.
On the books it will be added up as
loss, no matter what you call. The
reckoning will show red, blood red
and debt red The loss to democracy
is not so easily reckoned as manhood
and dollars. Liberties and rights
sidetracked are not so easily righted.
The taste of direct authority is not
wiped out by the clarion of an armis-
tice. The democracy we respect and
made may bear little resemblance to
the excuse that energies after the war.
y
Fortunately, this danger is not
wholely ignored. Scores of organiza-
tions have enlisted to beat down the
peril. The forces of organized labor
have organized the League for HUI
man Rights, Freedom and Democracy
to defend and extend our rights, lib
critics and democratic principles. The
American Legion has begun the for
nation of an organization, Legions
of Democracy, pledged to defend anc
promote democracy.

Recommend Minimum
Wage For Hat Industry

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
wage-hour hat industry committee
has recommended minimum wage
of 40 cents an hour for all workers
in the fur-felt, wool-felt and hatters
fur branches of the industry, and 35
cents an hour for the straw and har-
vest hat branch.
The committee also voted unani-
mously to recommend Accent min
imum for workers on silk and opera
hats, and 30-cent minimum for the
Puerto Rican straw hat industry.
If the recommendation is approved
by Administrator Andrews after
public hearing as required by the
wage and hour law, it will mean wage
increases for approximately $500
workers. The average wage for all
is 661s cents an hour.

What is going on? The breakup
of the relationships.
Win, lose, tie or wrangle, they are
on the way out.
Dictatorships are built upon bor-
rowed capital, series of promissory
notes.
When peoples get into difficulties
which their form of government does
not seem able to solve, inquiry, re-
sentiment, doubt arises.
Then comes some Strong" blatant
individual who says: "Let me do it.
/ can do it better than your present
government if you will trust me with
the necessary power" And, in their
extremity, they give him that power.
And it does not work out. So he
uses the power already granted to
seize more power, to repress criti-
cism, to make more promises. And
he fails again. And seizes more
power, and becomes more repressive
and makes more promises.
Until he has seized all the power
there is and broken all the promises
that can be made.
Then comes the final desperate ges-
ture, foreign war Breast-beating.
eve fight against the aggressors. We
must defend the sacred soil of our
fathers" Every emotion is drugged
and doped into cocaine jag of hys-
terical patriotism"
Each, under fear Of torture and
death, yells louder than his neighbors.
Casualty lists come in and the
enemy becomes "the one who has
slain my son." Then, finally, the
structure begins to crack. Victory
has not come but bereavement, suf-
fering, despair have. Hunger gnaws.
Cold chills the bones. Awakening
sanity looks into the grisly prospects
ahead. Of more suffering, more
crosses over mutilated bodies of loved
ones, down to the bitter end Of ma
tional defeat and individual ruin
And the morale of the people
breaks" And the war is over and

NY. COURT UPHOLDS
FORMING OF UNIONS

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS) Opposition
Of existing labor unions is not bar
to organization of new ones, Justice
Francis Bergan ruled here in Supreme
Court.
Specifically, Judge Bergan ordered
the State Board of Standards and APP
peals to approve certificate of incor
poration of the Associated Welders in
Buffalo and Erie County
The state board had disapproved a
certificate request by the new union
which for two years has functioned
as an unincorporated body. Building
trade unions opposed Incorporation as
likely to bring about jurisdictional
disputes.
Judge Bergan said:
"That existing labor organizations
oppose the organization and incor-
poration of new ones which in them
selves have no purpose contrary to
the express statutory policy of the
state is not a ground for denial by
the defendants of approval of the
certificate.
Labor organizations may be freely
organized in this state and freely in
corporated if their purpose is not in
conflict with the public policy as ex-
pressed by the Legislature"

"SENTINELS ON GUARD"

The labor papers are sentinels on
guard throughout the country for the
cause of mankind. They are extremely
valuable advocates of the cause of the
wage earners. The labor movement
owes to the labor papers great debt
of gratitude for giving voice to la
boris cause when often other avenues
of publicity are closed. Every pos
sible support should be given to the
bona fde labor press to strengthen it
for still greater work that lies ahead.

the dictator has no more promises to
mkae. He has been foreclosed on the
last tragic scrap of "blue sky" prom
issory note. So he is gone.
And the people patch up the ruins,
care for the sorry human wreckage
and stagger under burden of back
breaking debts and indemnities.
Napoleon went that road. His ac-
cessories and his enemies alike went
that same road All except the de-
mocracies of that time.
The Tsars went that way in the
World War.
The Kaiser furnished the outstand-
ing example and warning of them ALL
Mussolini took the first steps in his
Ethiopian foray. And again in Spain.
And the crumbling of his plaster
board empire has already begun. ia
pan cast it's bloody dice in the assault
on China.
And now the Fuehrer makes the
last mad move.
The last ace up his sleeve is on the
board.
And we come to turning point of
history.
If the war is long drawn out, it's
duration will be determined by the
endurance of his deluded victims.
The last time, the break came when
the Kaiser sent children into the
front lines.
By every motive of humanity, in
the light of the penalties all bellig-
| erents or "neutrals" must suffer, by
the perils which face all orderly gov
ernment in the future, it is to be
hoped that the German people will
clear their propaganda drugged
heads and stop short of the time when
every household is in mourning and
every cupboard is bare
*
There will be enough ruins to patch
up at the best.
Because tn e democracies have
clearly shown realization that the
test has come, that freedom cannot
exist, right across an artificial bound
ary line, from unrestrained and pow
er-mad despotism, by whatever name
it is called. Whatever is done this
time, that is the final issue and per-
manent peace Of the world hangs or
a slender thread until it is decided.
The German people may rescue
themselves from the bloody pit into
which they are sliding. Or they may
wait too long.
But this is the last desperate ges-
ture of failing absolutist govern
ment. Traditionally, through the cen
turies, fading power, growing unrest
and disillusionment. A foreign war
Defeat or revolt of the disillusioneC
people. A pitifully belated awaken
ing to sanity. And then no more such
demonstrations of national dementia
until a new generation is ready fol
the march and the slaughter.
Some generation will learn this
lesson.
Let's hope it is this one, and let's
hope we can stay out.

WHAT NEXT?

A Diesel electric locomotive has re-

With war headlined in all our news
papers, it is next to impossible to
comment on little else than war.
However, in this lies a great and i'm
mediate danger that must be exposed
and summarily crushed by the will
and weight of public opinion.
There is danger that in the hys-
terra of an international crisis and
under the pressure of our sympathies
for the democratic forces of Europe
we may find that we are losing at
home the very thing we are defend
ing, directly or indirectly on foreign
fields. We fought the last war for
peace and security and the ultimate
triumph of democracy. Twenty years
later we were made brutally aware
that in the last World War and the
peace that followed we had planted
the seeds of the worst challenge to
democracy, peace and security that
could be imagined. Willful and ma
licious designing could not have done
better.
Today we find ourselves going
through the same motions, welding
the same chain of causation that
threaten to lead to no better end than
the last war.
The economic hangover OF the last
war stands the chance of being
dwarfed into insignificance by the
possible aftermath of the present
World War. Times have changed
since 1917, We have been deep IN
depression the last 10 years. Mil
lions unemployed, millions on relief
industry idle, capital molding-these
spell a misery that goes deep; these
are not easily forgotten.
And now, this war. A boom is al
ready under way A boom rising OF
the foundation of a war economy anc

Jouhaux, head of the French General

L. Lewis urging labor to lend it's sup

U. S. INVOLVEMENT
NOT INEVITABLE

American labor has taken its stand
squarely against any involvement in
Europe's war. 1t has shown no SYM
pathy with the current fatalist opin-
ion that America will inevitably be
drawn into the holocaust. America
will not be involved if it has the will
to KEEP out, labor says.
Labor believes that America is the
master of its destiny, not the pawn
of Europe's conflicting forces, and
that it can best serve civilization by
refusing to be swept into the dance
of death in the Old World. 1t believes
with Alexander Hamilton that at is
ours either to be a grave in which
the hopes of the world shall be en-
tombed or a pillar of fire that shall
pilot the race onward to its millennial
glory"
Labor is determined to stick stead
fastly to its task of helping to build
a worthwhile civilization here. 1t
knows that participation in war
threatens to be shattering blow to
American democracy and all that this
nation stands for, and it is committed
to do everything possible to preserve
peace.
