New Notl. Clearance Plon
For Workers on Defense Jobs

A new national clearance" arrange
ment to aid in transferring workers
needed for defense jobs from one
State to another has just been put
into effect by the United States En-
ployment Service Of the Social Sc
curity Board in cooperation with
State employment services. The pur-
pose is to minimize unplanned and un-
necessary movement of workers from
one place to another on rumors of
jobs. At the same time the plan will
serve to speed up state transfer
Of workers to vital defense jobs in
volving some 500 occupations without
removing workers needed in any given
locality.
Under this program, 13 regional
clearance" Offices, covering the entire
country, will handle employers re-
quests for defense workers which can
not be filled by local employment Of
fees within a given State. The
regional Offices will not themselves
accept applications from job seekers
or carry out placements. They will,
however, serve as control points for
interstate transfer Of key workers in
aircraft, tank construction, arms and
munitions manufacture, and number
Of other defense industries, as we'll as
the Government operated shipyards
and arsenals which comes under Civil
Service regulations.
The regional clearance" Offices will
keep thoroughly posted as to the
available labor supply and also as to
employers requirements throughout
the country. When State employment
services cannot furnish from their own
territory the men or women needed for
defense jobs in that State, the regional
clearance office will route requests
for workers to other States.

DON'T BEAR
A GRUDGE
By DR.. CHARLES STELZLE

We have just passed through one of
the most bitter political campaigns
in American history. In some coun-
tries, such campaign would be ac-
companied by riots, murders, the de-
struction of property, the mass in
timidation of voters, and very fre-
quently the candidates for office would
be compelled to seek protection from
violence until the successful candidate
has been established. Or, as often hap
pens, the unsuccessful candidates had
been "liquidated" so that they might
not become embarrassing to the new
government.
None Of these things occurred in the
United States. However, it happens
that this particular election was held
at a time when its results will be most
widely felt during coming days. 1t
was so important that it was care
fully watched by the major nations
of the world, because they believed
that the noiseless American ballots
would determine far weightier mat
ters than the firing Of guns and the
dropping of heavy bombs by flying air.
planes. For these ballots expressed
the voice and the heart and the mind
Of free nation-the most powerful
in the world.
However this may be, there is no
doubt that the effects of the election
will be most widely felt in the United
States. 1t may mean greater freedom
and prosperity for our people, or it
| may mean increasing strife and dis
content. And these will be brought
about not so much by those who have
been either elected or defeated for Of
| fee, as by the attitude of our citizenry
toward each other. Our country needs
to fear what we shall do to each other
more than we need to be afraid Of
what the warning nations Of Europe
may do to US One Of the worst things
| that can happen to Us is to bear a
| grudge against our fellow citizens,
/ for in so doing we are simply nurtur-
| ing cankerous sore which will ulti-
mately corrode and corrupt the best
that is in US.
Regardless of who may be our
President, or the makers of our laws,
our future lies in the hands of Eve
the people"-and this means the
whole people. Most important is
whether we want unity, true patriot
ism, and industrial cooperation,
through which we shall achieve re-
employment, rebuilding Of our homes
and our institutions, and mainly the
strengthening of our characters as
true Americans. This is the way of
American Democracy.

VETERANS STRUGGLE

London.-A British trade unionist
who has entered upon his tenth decade
took the chair at q luncheon in the
National Trade Union Club which
marked the birthday of a colleague
who has just entered upon his ninth.
The two veterans were Charles Bower
man, formerly secretary Of the Trades
Union Congress, now in his 91st year,
and Ben Tillett, whose seth birthday
made him the Clubs guest Of honor on
this occasion.
One measure Of Ben's achievement
he gave to the company himself, in the
casual remark that when he organized
the historic Dock Strike of 1889, the
event which marks the origin of the
modern Trade Union Movement, the
wage of the British docker was 4d
per hour. Today, in London and other
big ports, the minimum wage is lbs.
day, and the piece rate earnings are
much higher than the minimum
The active life of these two veterans
of the working class movement cover
the whole span of years in which the
Trade Unions have grown so strong
and respected that their counsel and
cooperation have been sought by the
British Government in the greatest
crisis of history.
Nearly &c years ago Ben Tillett was
sent by the British Tue as fraternal
delegate to the American Federation
of Labor Convention, held that year
in Scinton; and more than a score OF
years ago he went as fraternal dele
gate to the Trades and Labor Con
gress of Canada, held in Hamilton
Ontario
Despite his great age Charles Bower
man for example continues to take a
lively interest in the affairs Of his
own Union, and of the industry-he
is by trade a compOsitor-in which he
worked before he became secretary OF
the Trades Union Congress, a gen
Grafton ago. He has just accepted the
Craftsmanship of the Printers Pensions
Corporation, post held by four kings

cessors on the Throne, Is Lord Mayors
of London, and such statesmen as

man has been a subscriber to the Fund
for II years, and one of its auditors
for over 80 years.

HELPING OR
HINDERING
MARY STARCK KERR

Baby Donald went over to the table
and reached up toward a vase of
flowers standing there His mother,
who was entertaining callers, did not
call to him to stop or to come away
from the table, as Mrs. Jones expect
ed. Instead she stepped quietly but
quickly to his side, and taking up
the vase with marked carefulness,
showed the flowers to Donald, letting
him smell them. Then she set the
vase back with the same noticeable
care, saying, "Now we will put the
pretty flowers back very carefully, so
the water in the vase will not be
spilled on the table or on Donald"
After that she gave Donald his toy
auto which he had deserted few min
utes before, and he played contentedly
during the remainder of the visit.
That evening Mrs. Jones related the
incident to her husband, and said, 81
believe | have learned the secret Of
the good conduct shown by Mrs.
Scott's older children when they visit
here. They never meddle with any
children do-even our own Alice and
Dicky."
"That's So" said Mr.. Jones, 81 al
ways have thought that we waste a lot
of energy trying to keep children from
doing things that are perfectly natural
for them to do. My idea would be to
keep all the things we don't ant
them to touch well out Of their reach,
until they are old enough to under
stand what they are for and how to
handle them"
"When it is impossible for us to
watch the children, that is, of course,
the best thing to do" replied Mrs.
Jones, "but," thoughtfully, "when we
can be with them, shouldn't we leave
things in their proper places and just
help the children to learn what they
are for and how to handle them? This
is not the first time | have noticed
Mrs. SCOTS methods. When she was
serving refreshments, earlier in the
afternoon, she let Baby Donald help.
He carried an empty cup with it's sau-
Ger to Mrs. Brown. Now if Dicky took
hold of one Of our fine china cups or
saucers, | should be so afraid of his
dropping it that should probably say,

Iy in tone of voice that would startle
him so that he would drop it,"
"Yes," said Mr.. Jones. 81 remember
doing that very thing when Alice was
two years old"

it was something like this: when you
discourage your child from investi-
eating, you are hindering him in his

"And children are not really naughty

say. They are only trying to learn

Evidence that the second strongest
section of the Communist apparatus
exists in California can be seen in the
reelection Of Congressman Lee Geyer
and the defeat of Los Angeles Dis
trict Attorney Buron Fits, who has
held that office for IL years.
Tovarisch Geyer, 18th Congressional
District, California, has been accused
in court of signing an application card
for membership in the Communist
Party, Los Angeles Section.
Communist U. S. Senatorial candi-
date Anita Whitney took quite a
chunk of the California electorate.
But the important Communist vic
tory is the defeat of Fits, who has
been probing Stalinite activity on the

which is Vito Marcantonio, has been

move, the States case, against John
Reiley's killers and the anti-subversive
activities probe would have folded inn
