"DUE PROCESS" vs.. PROCESSING

IN the recent decision of the Supreme Court in
the case Of Isiah Chambers and others VS. the
State of Florida, we have the opinion Of the court,
which was read by Justice Black. The form of the
written opinion is such that there can be doubt
as to the basis of the decision given; for it receS
in large part the record Of the events which took
place, in securing the alleged confession from the
Negro lsiah Chambers.
ing made for the benefit of the American people in
the substance and force Of their own Bill of
Rights 1t may have been kind of irony which
led the court to base its decision upon the clause
from the XIV Amendment rather than the Y. For
the XIV Amendment has so often been quoted in
the defense OF corporations, in protecting them
from legal assault resulting from their holding and
use Of other peoples property, that it seems eSpe-
cialy fit now to have the XIV Amendment applied
where it was so evidently meant to be applied at
the time of it's adoption, namely to the protection
of the rights of the Negroes.
In the Y Amendment we have the words: NOR
shall any person . be deprived Of life, liberty or
property without due process Of law. Also in
the XIV Amendment the words occur: nor shall
any state deprive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process Of law. -. "
From the record cited in the opinion of the
court, it is evident that the state Of Florida in
stead Of the "due process" prescribed by the Con-
prisoner, for the purpose Of "extractng' some
kind Of a confession from him. We know that such
processes" have been introduced in criminal cases
in other states as well. But in this case the prs-
oners "seasonably" asserted their rights, and the

SIXTEENTH DECENNIAL CENSUS

STATISTICAL information measures change. TO
~ get basic statistical information, it has been
the practice in this country to take a comprehen-
sive population census every ten years. Com
parlSOn OF the facts secured in one census with
those OF other decades gives the rate of change
or progress, provided, of course, the basis for
gathering data remains comparable. The various
items on which questions are asked determine the
kinds of changes which can be measured
The census will give us the distribution of work
ers by age groups as well as by occupations. This
information is especially necessary in planning our
organizing work The schedules will bring most
useful information on employment, and this year,
for the first time, on annual earnings or income.
With the cooperation of individuals furnishing in
formation, income data may be made most valu-
able The Federation urges that the heads of
families discuss and agree upon the figure that rep
resents family income SO that the family repre-
sentative who meets the census enumerator may
be prepared.
The information on migration of workers is
especially important for Labor. We know that
automobile plants and other heavy industries have
drawn heavily in all parts of the country for labor
supply with textile plants have moved nearby to
materials and labor. This information is basic in
planning laboE standards that will conserve natl
onal progress and well-being.
The information on housing is also new fea-
ture. With national provisions for promoting
building OF houses, we need to have the facts as
to kind of houses in which families live and how
tllGSC OWIeu we uSCu W have CHc
on sums and overcrowding, both in cities and
agricultural areas
An omission from this census is matter of
real concern to us-failure to get data on employ
ed children under ID years of age. This omission
breaks the continuity of our information in gain
full work of children before the evil has been COM
pletely remedied.
All members of unions and wage earnerS every
where urged to render all cooperation possible
to census enumerators. Your trouble in providing
personal information will bring you returns a
thousand fold in the form of information In this
connection read the article in this issue Labor

TIPS NOT WAGES

THAT HARDY perennial "Are Tips Wages ??
appeared in court recently in Ohio The dec-
sion in the case is of interest and Importance to
states with minimum wage laws we'll as to work
ers in industries where tipping is a factor to be
considered in fixing minimum wage rates
The Ohio case concerned waitress who sued
her employer for back wages due her because of
undelpayment under the minimum wage order.
Her employer contended that counting tips, she
had earned above the required minimum wage.
Inasmuch as the minimum wage order in the
restaurant industry in Ohio did not include tips in
setting the minimum wage rate, the Municipal
Court of Cincinnati refused to admit the testimony
on tips. The Judge therefore, ruled that tips are
order. AS result of the decision, four mattresses
were awarded back wages of nearly $500

will be welcome.

INADEQUATE. GAINS

A release from the National Industrial Confer
ence Board entitled, industrial Worker Found
Better Off Than in 1929" reports that in Novem-
Der the weekly earnings IN twenty-five major
American industries only two-tenths of one
per cent below those in 1929, if earnings were
adjusted for changes in costs Of living, the aver
age employed workers real income has increased
1876 per cent over 1929. The survey, which COW
cred 1,68O,0O0 workers, showed also recent in
crease in weekly hours worked-from 35.5 in May
to 39.1 in November. Despite this increase, the
release adds, the work week remains far below
482 hours the average for 1929! Although this
report indicates real progress 1T seems to Ignore
facts that Labor has found fundamental.
We note that as between 1929 and 1910 the
number of persons without opportunity to earn
incomes increased by eight millions, and that this
burden must be borne by producing industries.
With this problem of unemployment, we must find
a new definition of the work week. 1t would be a
colossal blunder to increase the work week of en-
ployed persons instead of reducing the work week
SO that more persons have Jobs. If private in
dustry is to regain the dominant position it occu-
pied in our national economy, ma or problem
is to get our economic structure operating at a
level and under conditions that will provide ade-
quate work opportunities for all.
Any survey that separates off a portion of in
dustry and plans for the welfare of a select few is
sowing the seeds of revolution. TO measure pro-
gress for the employed without even mention of
the unemployed is hardly sound policy. To meas
ure hourly earnings by changes in dollars and
cents and in purchasing power, without consider
ing changes in productivity, is to ignore the main
factor in considering Justice in the transaction.
The increase in productivity per man between 1929
and 1889 25 per cent. Obviously, even with
a 16 per cent increase in purchasing power the
workers not paid for all the goods the produce.
In addition, the average weekly wage of workers
in selected industries tells very little about indus
trial workers as a whole Their welfare depends
upon regularity of employment well wage
rates, and unless the purchasing power of this
Uro at DrOduC-
ton, we cannot keep a balance between production
and sales that assures business stability.
Increased business activity ought to mean adj
ditons to the work force-not increases in hours
for those employed After reviewing the expert
ence of the decade at the last convention the Am
crcan Federation Of Labor declared for the thirty
hour week as the controlling standard to give the
right direction to business recovery.

WHY LABOR HELPS

,ABOR'S part in the public loW-rent housing anc
- sum-clearance program is described in new
pamphlet by the United States Housing Authority
A concluding paragraph summarizes in cogent
manner why labor is to the fore in the public hous
ing movement. After citing various activities OF
labor in behalf of public housing, the pamphlet
says:
"By engaging in these activities labor is
doing several things at once 1t is helping to
do away with the spectre of unemployment.
1t is helping provide families of low income
with decent, loW-rent homes and wholesome,
we'll planned surroundings 1t is bringing new
strength to the foundations of American de-
mocracy.'

PROBLEM OF JOBS FOR YOUTH

FrOm a Report submitted to White House Con-
ference on Children in a Democracy
DUBIIC attention is concerned with more than
preventing the employment of immature
youth too early and under unsuitable conditions.
Even more acute under conditions of widespread
and demanding immediate and
more profound consideration are the problems of
and of providing suitable work opportunities for
those young people who have left school and are
ready for employment. Large numbers have
been out of school vainly seeking work for years.
Every year sees more added to the hosts.
Under such conditions of extensive unemployment,
ambition is destroyed, resentment is aroused, and
anti-social behavior may result

Teachers Back State Board PROPOSAL

IcdCneIS bdCk Stdtf bOaru frOpOSaf
Cleveland, O. (OLNS).-The Ohio
State Federation of Teachers has en-
dorsed a new proposal for a State
Board of Education. A proposal to
amend the constitution setting up a
State Board in place Of the present
Director of Education was defeated in
referendum election last November.
That proposal was opposed by the
Teachers Federation because it was
too vague, failed to provide for a
method of selection Of board members
but left everything to the Legislature
and did not provide any guarantee of
Democratic control. There is said to
be little likelihood that the proposal
will be submitted again until after
194l when it may again be proposed
by the next Legislature. Otherwise
it would require initiation by petition.
