STATE WAGE-HOURS LAWS
NEEDED

Lack of state wage and hour law
is creating squeeze condition" for
workers in industries not covered by
the federal wage-hour law, Thomas
B. Morton, Virginia commissioner of
labor, pointed out.
He said that one side of the street
are -four mills, paper mills, furniture
factories, cotton and textiles indus
tries and other firms whose products
are classed under interstate commerce.
Their employees, by federal law, receive
minimum of 80 cents an hour and
time-and-a-half for overtime if they
work more than AZ hours a week.
On the other side of the street, he
said, are laundries, cleaning and press
ing establishments, retail stores and
all others of the interstate classifca-
tion, definitely untouched by federal
regulation. Their employees have no
wage minimum and only the women

TRAINING PROGRAM
FOR YOUTH OF OHIO

Aubrey Williams, national admin
istrator of N. Y. A., has thrown open
the N. Y. A. Regional Center for me-
chanical training to youth in Ohio, it
is announced by Thomas E. Speer,
area supervisor, Cincinnati.
Applications are being taken for
Butler County youth at the area Of
flee, Hazen Building, Ninth and Main
Streets. The 55 male citizens between
18 and 25 years of age who are ac-
cepted will be representative of the
"most ambitious Ohio YOUTH" accord
ing to Ohio N. Y. A. administrator, S.
Burns Weston. Youth referred to the
center will be single, out of school and
willing to devote at least six months
to the mechanical skills emphasized
in the center. Main work experience
is in airplane mechanics, machine shop
practice, auto mechanics, radio con-
struction, sheet metal fabricating
drafting, woodwork, warehouse stock
ing, and clerical work.
Williams predicted that 1000 boys
from 10 states will be in training at
the center in year. Present facili-
ties allow assignment of 500. Girls
also may be trained in the center. The
center is located in the South Charles
ton ordnance plant. Enrolment has
no connection with federal armed
forces. Youth are assigned to four
hours shop and project work per day
one hour of health, safety and voca-
tional counseling, and three hours of
intensive classwork in subjects re-
lated to their work.
Job counselors assist youth in plan
ming their future job-hunts. Deduc-
tions are made from enrollees' salaries
to pay their subsistence costs. While
enrolled youth are provided meals
lodging, bed linen laundry, medical
care and transportation to and from
the project, as well as facilities of a
planned recreational program. Indoor
basketball, baseball, tumbling, volley-
ball, handball, ping pong, badminton
and other sports are included in the
program.

PREVENTING SUDDEN DEATH

National Safety Council, which
knows lot about the cause of auto
mobile accidents, offers four good sug-
gestions for cutting down the holiday
and vacation traffic toll. They're worth
remembering by everyone, including
veteran drivers. If universally fol-
lowed, they'd prevent a lot of agony
expense and sudden death. Here they
are:
/. Check your car before trip
especially tires, brakes and steer
ing apparatus.
2. Take it easy on the road. Start
in plenty of time. Don't speed or
take chances in passing.
8. Don't drive if you drink.
4. Don't take everything for granted
at railroad crossings, intersec-
tions and side roads.

: WHAT NEXT?

New radio weather robots have been
successfully tested and may soon be
used by the u. S. Weather Bureau on
high mountain peaks or inaccessible
sea locations to give complete and au-
tomato reports. Untouched by hu-
man hands for months at time, these
automatic weather-observing stations
send out radio messages at predeter-
mined intervals, reporting barometric
pressure, air temperature, relative hu-
midity, wind direction and velocity,

guished from manufacturing or COM
mercial poerations. Farm hands and
domestic labor in private homes would
continue to be excluded under these
amendments because of the greater
difficulty of determining unemploy-
ment in these categories.
Poorer States Aided
"The bill would increase the amount
available for old-age assistance pay
ments to poorer states. BY changing
from a flat to variable grant basis,
the federal government would make
it possible for the poorer states to pay
old-age pensions as high as those paid
by the wealthier states, in justice to
the aged in every state and with con-
sequent benefit to the whole nation"
The bill will be referred to the Sen
ate Committee on Finance, which has
already established a special sub
committee to study various phases OF
the Social Security Act.

They are playing the game of the

Now the Hatch Act prevents all

If that is so, what about these

REMEMBER THE
YELLOW LINE

This year the Ohio Department of
Highways inaugurated plan for
marking it's highways so that every
motorist is warned of danger spots to
protect themselves against accident
and death.
The State Highway Patrol notes
that the thoughtful, careful motorist
is obeying "the yellow line" warnings,
where they appear on the roadway.
The careful motorist remembers
that when the yellow line appears in
his lane of traffic that he is not to
pass the car in front of him. The
careful motorist also realizes that the
appearance of the yellow line in his
lane of traffic indicates danger whether
there is anyone on the highway or not.
This same motorist knows that the
yellow line is always at the side of the
center line, whether it is white GEN.
ter line or black center line
The real menace to the motorist is
the person who dlSregardS the yellow
line warnings" and invariably is the
person who causes the innocent, care
full motorist to suffer.
The headstrong driver is the one
who takes his chances irrespective of
warnings and usually is the one who
causes some careful, conscientious
persons to have an accident or lose
their lives.
The yellow" "NO-PASSING"
line on the 5000 miles of Ohio high
ways outside municipalities is put
there for the safety of the two million
car owners of Ohio and our visiting
friends from other states.
REMEMBER, the "YELLOW
LINE" is there for your SAFETY.

SENATOR WAGNER
INTRODUCES BILL
in ACT EXPANSION

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Fur-
ther liberalization and expansion of
the Social Security Act, as urged by
organized labor, were proposed in a
bill by Senator Robert F. Wagner of
New York, sponsor of the original act,
on the fifth anniversary of it's signing
by President Roosevelt.
The bill would provide coverage for
100000 additional wage earners,
for unemployment compensation to
100000 more persons and to increase
old-age assistance payments to poorer
states. Senator Wagner announced
he was introducing the measure at the
request of the American Federation
of Labor.
Amendment both of the Social Sc
curity Act and the Internal Revenue
Code is involved in the proposed leg
islation
To Eliminate Inequities
"These amendments, extending the
old-age insurance protection of the
law to approximately 100000 addi-
tional persons, would make the Social
Security Act vastly more comprehen-
sive and would eliminate the inequi-
ties which now arise because workers
frequently lose their insurance when
they shift from covered to uncovered
employment" Senator Wagner said
"The bill would also extend cover
age for unemployment compensation
to about 100000 additional employees
serving the federal government Tin

Things may pop in Mexico, soon.
Civil war there appears better than
$3.50 probability, persons familiar
with Mexican conditions think.
With civil war in Mexico, United
States attention would center on the
border states-see on the map the
long Texas-Arizona stretch.
One of the biggest indications of
approaching storm: Luins N. Morones,
chief of GROIN, Mexican right wing
labor movement, was in Washington
for conferences with William Green,
in Green's capacity as president of the
American Federation of Labor, of
which Morones is president.
While in Washington for these dis
cussions, revolving around Pan-Amer-
lean labor problems, Morones was no.
titled by telegraph and telephone from
Mexico City that his Offices and his
home had been thoroughly searched by
so political police. That is tip-off to
those who know Mexico that if civil
war is averted it will be miracle.
Morones is the outstanding sup
porter of Juan Andreu Almazan, anti
Cardenas candidate for presidency. He
claims 80 per cent of votes in recent
election were for Almazan, but were
not counted.
Upon receipt of information about
the raids, Morones promptly wired
President Cardenas saying he was in
formed as to happenings and was re-
turning at once to place himself at the
disposal of the proper authorities,
in order to prevent recurrence" OF
such acts. He flew at once to Mexico
Coincident with the raids, Almazar
broadcast by short-wave from Havana
to Mexico, saying he would return te
Mexico in time for meeting of Con
gress, pledging "duly elected" Con
gress would meet. This means riva
congresses.

and home is the clearest indication yet

HILLMAN REBUFFS
LEWIS ON PROTEST
OF UNION CUSTER

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-In
hot under-cover struggle for G. |. o.
dominance, Sidney Hillman, labor
member of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission, and John l.. Lewis,
CLIO. president, have clashed sharply
over exclusion of the c. l. 0. United
Electrical, Radio and Machine Work
ers of America from the Labor Policy
Advisory Committee. This commit
tee, named by Hillman, is composed of
representatives Of all factions of labor.
The clash resulted from a protest
by Lewis against exclusion OF the
union, after it's national director of
organization, James j. Matles, charged
that it had been denied committee rep
resentation because of Mr. Hillman's
belief that the union was "tinged with
red" and that it had not taken steps
to Square" itself politically.
Denies Raising "Red" Issue
Answering Lewis, Hillman denied
he had raised the Communist issue in
discussing the matter of representa-
tion with Matles and said: II did not
state to Mr.. Matles that the U. E. R.
M. w. A. was an organization 'tinged
with red'."
Hillman said the sole factor involved
in the designation of 16 A. F. of L.,
C. /. o. and railroad union leaders for
membership in the labor advisory COM
mittee was the degree to which they
could contribute to the task of ma
tional defense and assist Hillman in
the discharge of his duties at Wash
| ington.
| He further said he had had to apply
"the best Judgment and discretion of
which / was capable" in determining
the size of the advisory committee and
in selecting it's individual members.
Under these conditions, he added, it
was impossible to contend that the
non-i inclusion of any unionist repre-
sented an act of unfairness.
Grave Injustice" Charged
Matles began the controversy by
letter to Lewis in which he expressed
the opinion that his union had been
done grave injustice" by exclusion
from the labor advisory committee
and criticized giving of representa-
tion to the International Brotherhood
Of Electrical Workers and other A. F.
of L. craft unions. Lewis, transmit
ting the letter to Hillman, voiced his
protest and said:
81 am definitely of the opinion that
this union (the U. E. R. NJ w. Al is
entitled to representation in the de-
fense set-up and above certain organ
izations that have been given such
representation"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

of Cardenas determination to insure
seating of his candidate, Avila Ca
macho, and of outlook for definite civil
war south of Rio Grande.
1t can be said fatty that there are
preparations for it on both sides, but
how extensive is another matter.
Problematical how long war might
last, because attitude of the army is
problematical. So is the attitude of
some twelve divisions of troops
trained by CTM, left wing labor move
ment under Lombardo Toledano, who
plays ball with John L. Lewis.
Uncertainty exists also as to the
air force and which side it would sup
port in civil war. Indications are
that at least a goodly part of the
armed forces would go with Almazan.
1t is extremely unlikely that the
large German population, much of it
We'll OIS SdulAcu lOI llOJdH ilcI DC Op-
erations, would remain neutral. The
best bet is that Nazi- Communist
strategists would back Cardenas-Ca-
macho side.
With fire in Mexico, there is no tell
ing what other Latin American devel-
opments may follow, nor with what
consequences to u. S. and to u. S. in
dustry as it speeds up defense pro-
duction.
"In all it's phases, the Social Sc.
curity Act has been bulwark of the
American family and the American
home, a stabilizing influence on oul
economic system, and powerful safe

would undermine our political institu.

for all of us the proud expression OF
our faith in the ways of democracy il

and fall afoul of no law, whether
Hatch Act or any other.
But unless everything is cock
eyed there is just as much moral,
if not technical, violation of the
act as could well be imagined.
Mr.. Sidney Hillman is doing his
level best to cut the C. l. 0. away from
Mr.. Lewis, in one of the hottest under
cover fights ever waged anywhere, but
if Mr.. Hillman gets the machine away
from Mr.. Lewis, the enormous job of
purging and cleansing will remain to
be done.
Mr.. Hillman, remember, is one of
the members of the National Defense
Advisory Commission, whose job it is
to prepare America for war.
Preparation for war is moral, as
we'll as material.
Here is moral ulcer on the pat
tern of defense preparations.
To be sure, the issue of free speech
enters into the situation. On that
score there are two things to be said
First, if the Hatch Act limits free
dom for one set of doings to safe
guard clean democracy, then it should
limit another set having the same gen
eral effect.
Second, there is and must be limit
to freedom of speech for agencies
avowedly aimed at the destruction OF
all our freedom; there must be limit
to Mocsow's freedom and Berlin's
freedom to cut our throats.
The fellow traveller has no business
being warmed and nurtured under the
wing and on the payroll of the United
States government in it's fight to pre-.
serve the ideals of American freedom

partments should constitute holes il
