ALL ACTORS UNIONS
MERGER IS PLANNED

New York City (ILNS).-Confer-
ences looking toward a united front
of actors unions under one blanket
organization are under way here, it
is reported.
Bernard Refs, an attorney, it was
learned, has been making survey of
the feasibility of the consolidation
and is expected to file report before
February Is.
Ralph Morgan, president of the
Screen Actors Guild, who flew from
Hollywood to attend the conferences,
pledged the united support of his
group to the consolidation. The guild
is the largest unit in the Associated
Actors and Artistes of America, the
present parent body of all actors
unions.
Morgan said it was "the only sens
ible thing to do" and would eliminate
the inconvenience Of having cards in
each of the several unions that con-
troll the entertainment field.

GREEN OPPOSED TO
LABOR ACT CHANGE

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). - The
amendments to the National Labor
Relations Act proposed by John L
Lewis of the G. L. o. were criticized
by President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor as ell
considered.'
Nothing would be calculated to do
more harm to labor than the pro-
posals for amendment of the National
Labor Relations Act announced by the
C. |. o." Green said in a statement.
"These proposals betray complete
lack Of comprehension of the funda-
mental objective of the law. That
objective is to establish friendly, fair
and stable relations between employer
and employe. Certainly this cannot
be achieved by imposing jail sentences
on employers who violate the law
Such a punitive course would only
defeat the purpose of the act.
Recognizing this truth, Congress
took care to limit the authority of the
National Labor Relations Boad to ap-
plying corrective measures only"
"The American Federation of La
bor," Green further said, "does not
believe the labor act is perfect, We
want to see it amended to provide for
better administration and we have
submitted our amendments to Con-
gress. We do not believe the act
should be used as an instrument of
oppression. We believe it should
serve as standard of fair play"

URGES CREATION OF
new LABOR BOARD

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-"Con-
fidence" in the National Labor Rela-
tions Board cannot be restored until
Chairman Madden and Edwin S. Smith
are dropped from membership, Rep
resentative Robert Ramspeck of Geor-
gia said here.
He urged creation Of a new labor
board, with reappointment Of DR..
William M. Leiserson, and advocated
two other Wagner Act amendments
to permit employers to petition for
collective bargaining elections, and to
curb the NJ L. R. BIS power over the
appropriate bargaining unit
Ramspeck said that hearings be-
fore the special House committee in
yestigating the N. L. r. B. had en-
phasized the need for changes in la
Dor board personnel and in the law
itself. Rampspeck recalled that the
board has, by regulation, permitted
employers to petition for elections in
certain cases. He added, however,
that the board can withdraw that
right, and he believed that "it ought
to be written specifically into the law

of all types will be under construc-
tion by the end of this year. This
means that the 10000 slum- clearance
dwellings, aided by loans and subsi-
dies of the U. S. H. A. stand out in
bold relief alongside the total num-
Der of dwellings constructed by pri-
vate capital and enterprise.
The 10000 u. S. HI. A.-aided dwell
ings will provide direct employment
at the site for about $4,000 men,
whose wages will amount to about
$28,780,000. In addition, the con-
struction of these dwellings, will cause
expenditures totaling about $36,600,-
600 for building materials.
The volume of construction con-
tributed by the slum clearance pro-
gram is approximately 38 per cent as
much as the total number of new
homes projected by private enterprise
during 1888.

Fascist and japanese spokesmen.
Foster declared that the present
European war is an imperialist
struggle. He omitted any discussion
of the peace mission Of Stain in Fin
land.
This is quite in the style of the Jap
anese 'incident," which is an expedi-
tion to promote cooperation with
and among the Chinese.
The bravo of the Hitlerian demand
for damages for the destruction of
the Spec from Uruguay will rank
among the classics of diplomacy, some
day, when the world is tired and wants
to sit back and laugh at something.
All this double -tonguing of the
Communists, and their brothers under
the skin, has already had much effect
among their simple-minded followers
and fellow travellers in the United
States. One might forgive lot of
blood-letting, if it be only at a con-
venient distance. But when Browder
and Foster try to tell Americans who
have passed the fifth grade that the
green light and the red light are
equally safe for travel, experience
warns of what has happened to those
who twist their own thinking too
much. Going too far in such direc-
tions might open an occasion for the
F. B. l. boys to ask just what it was
all coming to. Of course, one could
be innocent, really, of any violently
revolutionary intent. But if there
should happen to be some nasty sabo-
tage abroad at the same time, it would
fit in with the Soviet purposes with
reference to Finland

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

fout the statements of military au-
thorities here who claimed a Russian
victory was only a matter of weeks.
The Chinese ambassador has told
the White House his country is not
so hard pressed as many believe; that
they are starting a series of attacks
on Japan on all fronts.
A mass meeting of Japanese po-
litical and military leaders in Tokyo
urged that government to stand
against cooperation with the Soviet
Union; to take note of underground
Communist activities; to terminate
the undeclared war in China; and to
avoid complex against views favor

Britain.
Will Japan's name be added to the
ultimate lineup of world powers
against Communist Russia? Factors
against this outcome include the re-
ported opening of negotiations JAN

tween the two nations. Their trade
volume in years since the Russian
revolution, however, has been rela-
lively small.
Japans promise to the United
States to open the Yangtze River is

ton. She controls the Yangtze route

goods sold in the Shanghai-Nankine

transported by rail, truck, and coolit

an appreciable increase in trade.

gained by relieving shipping conges
tion in Shanghai-which would be tt
Japan's interests, as well as ours.

LABOR SHOWS IT'S HEART

Labor's generosity in this years
Presidents Birt a celebrations
seems to have surpassed all previous
years givings as judged by what the
Labor Division is able to report at
this early date, two weeks after the
1939-40 campaign has begun.
Chairman of the Labor Division,
William Green has already announced
an over subscription of the first one
million birthday cards ordered from
the printers. What does this mean?
1t means that labor is going to give
in this year of peace in America as
it has never given before to the cause
of saving lives and Strengthening
twisted limbs.
Orders for birthday cards are the
best indication of how much organized
labor will contribute to the fight sci
ence is waging on the crippling in
vader, infantile paralysis. The birth
day greeting cards are the modus op-
erandus by which every individual
union member and members of their
families can send their dimes and dol
lars straight to the White House as
they congratulate President Roosevelt
on his fifty-eighth birthday, January
28. Hence, the more requests for
cards, the larger the return to the
White House-and the requests from
unions small and large are pouring in.
No doubt, the spirit of giving has
been accelerated by the season of the
year, but through 156 Christmases
the germ of poliomyelitis has baffied
science. We need to keep on giving
until we can celebrate a poliomyelitis-
free Christmas.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

The world looks ahead to the New
Year. What will 1910 bring us
What will it mean to the peoples of
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and,
most important of all, we who occupy
that part of the planet located in the
northern half of the western hemis-

What will the New Year bring to
the butcher, the baker, the candlestick
maker? To banker, to broker, to
lawyer, to organized labor?
Certainly, to the peoples of Europe
and far-off China there will be no re-
grets as 1889 rings down the curtain
even if the Chinese New Year doesn't
quite coincide with ours.
1889 passes out on tragic note
because that year spawned what bids
fair to become one of the goriest
blood baths in history. Almost as
if it had been planned that way, each
succeeding day after September l.,
1889, saw the war in Europe increas-
| ing in intensity as if the war god Mars

murderous in the final stages of the

British press and diplomatic reac-
tions to the barrage of reports and

Hemisphere neutrality safety belt"
800 miles at sea indicate their belief
that there would be only one effective
means of keeping belligerent navies
at this distance-by force, which is
exactly what many have believed from

Incidents multiply which imply in

the naval battle off Montevideo, the
scuttling of the German liner Go

freighter into neutral harbor at Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.
The latter two appear to cause little
concern at the State Department. As
sistant Secretary of State Welles has
declared the American nations will
act jointly on the Montevideo Incl
dent and are determined to protect
their neutrality rights.

Hull Says U. 5. 10 Hold
Unlimited Interfering
With Trade Illegal
But He Warns American
Ships Of Especial
Danger Of War Zones
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary of State Hull said today
"the Government of the United
States does not recognize the legality
of unrestricted interference with
American ships and commerce.
Nevertheless, he warned American
merchant ships of the especial
danger incurred in entering Allan
tic and Baltic waters adjacent to
warning European countries.
In a formal statement Secretary
Hull declared:
Information reaching the Gov
ernment of the United States indi-
Gates the probability that there may
be intensification of warfare on
merchant shipping in Atlantic and
Baltic waters adjacent to European
belligerent shores.
The Government of the United
States does not recognize the legality
of unrestricted interference with
American ships and commerce.
Nevertheless, under the special cir
cumstances at present, it is believed
advisable to warn all American
merchant ships, except American
passenger ships which do not carry
cargoes to belligerents and are en-
gagged in bringing home Americans
from European countries, of the
especial danger incurred in entering
such waters"
The Secretary also expressed hope
that the Pan-American agreement
for neutral safety zone around the
United States and South America
at sea might result in belligerents
refraining from hostilities in waters
on this side of the Atlantic. Mr..
Hull praised highly the work of the
conference of 81 American repub-
lies which adjourned yesterday at
Panama.
Belligerent nations will be for
mally notified of the declaration
of policy reached at Panama con-
corning the safety zone
