since the American Federation of La
Dor was organized 60 years ago.
They stressed the great difference
in wages, hours, conditions of work,
security of employment then and now.
How was the tremendous change
brought about?
Through patient organization,
ceaseless struggle and collective bar
gaining" answered George Meany, A.
F. of L. secretary
Trade unionists of today, unless
they are well enough along in years to
remember the old days, sometimes
forget that the condition of American
toilers was not changed in day. The
change did not come through the pass
ing of laws, though that was an i'm
portant factor. 1t came through the
unremitting efforts of organized work
ers, as Mr.. Meany pointed out Future
progress will come through the same
thing, which is something for this
generation of union men and women
to remember.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Even more disturbing is the fact
that families with incomes of $4,000
and over in the cities have only about
half as many children as families with
incomes of less than $1,000. Women
college graduates :. have about half
as many children as women who have
less than a seventh-grade education
Families with the most children
commonly have the poorest housing,
Mr.. Stewart states. Large families
require larger houses, but are forced
to use relatively larger part of their
income for food. They are thus forced
into slum areas of cities or the poorer
country areas. The crowding OF large
families in sub-standard housing is
shown in national figures. Families
with one child pay an average rent OF
$21 month. But families with five
or more children are able to pay only
SIS a month, which is about the av-
erage demanded for houses classified
in the Real Property Inventory as I'm
need of major repairs"
Despite striking gains made in re-
cent years in improving the health OF
children, health protection is shown to
be seriously deficient for large part
of Americas children. In small towns
46 per cent of the sick children in fam
lilies with incomes of less than $1,00C
year received no care from doctor
Every year there are nearly quarter
of a million newborn babies who dc
not receive medical attention at birth
or during the first few days of life.
The recommendations of the White
House Conference for improving these
conditions are summarized in detail IL

phlet. "America's Children" is the
forty-seventh of a series of popular
factual, 10-cent pamphlets published

LET'S TELL 1T TO THE WORLD!

LET'S TELL 1T TO THE WORLD!
Principles enunciated by the Chief
of Ordnance of the United States
Army, in an order issued during the
World War, are being given consider
able publicity by government and
other agencies.
In the order is a sentence of 10
words that, if taken to heart by all
industry, would go far toward the
maintenance and Improvement of Ia
Dor conditions in every section of the
nation, now and in the future. The
sentence is:
Industrial history proves that
reasonable hours, fair working
conditions, and a proper wage
scale are essential to high pro-
duction."
This sentence, as well as other parts
of the order, which is an admirable
statement in line with what organized
labor has always advocated, can
hardly be given too much publicity.
Why not tell it to the world on every
occasion, until it is indelibly fixed in
private and public policy throughout
the nation?

That children are the chief victims
of bad economic conditions is empha-
sized in a pamphlet, Americas Chill
dren," written by Maxwell S. Stewart
and just published by the Public At
fairs Committee, New York. Many of
the conditions described in the PAM
phlet are not confined to America and
affect children in all nations.
High birthrates among poorer fam
lilies and in some sections of the coun-
try mean that disproportionate share
of American children are in families
whose income is below maintenance
standard of living" About half of
our children in families of five or more
live in houses that are definitely sub
standard At least two-thirds of our
children are in need of dental care.
Nearly a million children of elemen-
tary school age are not in school.
These are some of the facts brought
out by the pamphlet, which is based
on series of government studies and
research documents assembled for the
White House Conference on Children
in a Democracy, held in Washington
earlier in the year.

The position of children is relatively
much more critical than for adults,
Mr.. Stewart points out, because the
number of children per family is much
higher among low-income groups than
among the well-to-do, and is especially
high among negroes, the foreign-born,
and in some rural areas.
''In some areas there are twice as
many children, proportionately, on the
farm as in the city. The South has
the highest ratio of children, both in
white and negro families, while the
Far West has the lowest. Rural negro
families have more children than rural
white families.
