ARBITRARY AGE LIMITS
HARMFUL

Employment of retention of work
ers should be based upon competence
to perform work, and not on arbi-
trary age limits, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor holds.
Labor is on the soundest of grounds
in condemning discrimination against
the older worker. Such discrimination
leads to many evils not confined to the
worker and his family. 1t means a
loss to industry by elimination of
workers who have reached an age of
responsibility and who have years of
training.
Discrimination for age affects So
ciety as well. BY shortening the work
er's earning period, it increases his
chances of becoming charge on So
ciety in his old age. 1t leads to pow
erty and increases unrest and discon-
tent by embittering the worker. 1t is
harmful to the nation from every
standpoint.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-01-19

American hardheads, who cannot
conceive of democracy applied to the
control of industrial relations, should
examine the present procedures among
what we call the democratic nations
of Europe, in time of war.
The international Federation of
Trade Unions connects the trade and
labor organizations of the "free coun-
tries" of Europe into one movement
with continental sweep. 1t issues
regular bulletins, and in one recent
bulletin it referred to "an extremely
arbitrary movement in the field of
prices and wages" at the outbreak
of the present war, until the prin-
ciple of s. government bodies and
of direct negotiations . had been
accepted and industry organized on
war basis" There was a recital of
the experiences growing out of the
previous war, and the creation of
Joint committees and industrial coun-
ellis at that time, which has carried
over into peace times.
The Bulletin reports that in nearly
every country Belgium, Denmark,
Holland, Sweden, Netherlands, etc.
adjustments of wages are taking
place after detailed negotiations with
the employers and the authorities, and
nearly everywhere the standard of
living and the sliding scale are being
taken as a guide"
Contrast this with the German prac-
tice currently reported, of paying ten
per cent of the workers wages In
"promissory notes." half of which are
to be placed in Savings banks" for
general war uses, and the other half
in state institutions such as the Labor
Front, and health insurance.
Hill-billy legislators, who are using
up appropriations in getting familiar
with the techniques of collective bar
gaining in this country, would do well

MEN MUST WORK

Dr. Thomas Parran, head of the
United States Public Health Service,
has written some wise words on the
subject of unemployment, from the
point of view of health.
''There are many poisons known to
medicine" says Dr. Parran. "Most of
them work quickly But there are
other kinds that work slowly, and
idleness is the deadliest of them all
Men must work" says DR.. Parran,
mot because it is their duty, but be-
cause it is their nature. Once let a
man realize that he is totally useless,
that nothing he can do with his hands
or his mind is of any value to the
community, and he becomes sick
man-because his pride is gone.
'This government" DR.. Parran goes
on to say, Cannot commit the crime
of pauperizing millions of citizens
with a dole-whatever you hear said
by semi-responsible people who have
their own purposes to serve. We must
keep our citizens at work because no
other course is open."

WHAT NEXT?

Steel so hard that it can cut glass
has been produced in new automatic
electric steel-hardening furnace. The
new hard steel is designed for the
manufacture of dies. The makers say
that more than 200 such dies have
been shaped from the metal without
any appreciable distortion which
would require supplementary machin-
ing or reshaping 1t is estimated
that potential economies of from 409o
to 500 in the manufacture of dies
should result.

DIES COMMITTEE IN
FULL REPORT FINDS
RED Clio LEADERS
Evidence Shows Leaders To Be Mem
bers of Party or Followers.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Lead-
ership of some 10 or II C. /. 0. unions
out of 48 is "more than tinged with
Communism" the Dies House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities de-
clared in unanimous report to Con-
gress.
"The evidence shows that some of
their leaders are either card-holding
members of the Communist Party or
subservient followers of the party's
1ine'," the committee found.
The committee said that the over
whelming majority of the members of
the C. l. O. as well as it's presidents
are not Communists and hailed an
encouraging evidence of an attempt
on the part of the c. |. O. leadership"
to remove Communist influence.
"Red-Tinged" Unions
The c.. O. unions in which the
Communist leadership was said to
have been found were listed as the
National Maritime Union; United
Cannery, Packing and Allied Work
ers; Federation of Architects, Engi-
neers, Chemists and Technicians; Fur
Workers International Union; Inter
national Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's Union; Transport Work
ers' Union; United Office and Profess
sional Workers Union; American
Communications Association; United
Electrical, Radio and Mechanical
Workers of America; United Furni-
ture Workers of America.
The report listed as Communist
party front" II organizations, chief
of which was the American League
for Peace and Democracy.
The committee said that the seri-
Gus factor in Communist influence in
organized labor, from the standpoint
of the nation as whole, lies in the
foreign control over Communist
party members, which might in times
OF SUfeSS Iead TO espionage and Sabo-
tage, and in the Communist rule-or-
ruin policy SO disruptive to the labor
organizations themselves"
Party Held Conspiracy"
Of the Communist Party, the re-
port said:
"a careful examination of the facts
justifies the assertion that the Com
munist Party of the United States is
foreign conspiracy masked as a po-
litical party"
The report declared that the record
of the American League for Peace and
Democracy on the Soviet-Nazi pact
stamps it as an organization sub
servient to the Communist Party"

MAGIC WORDS
chesapeake and Ohio Lines
Magazine)

"Stop, Look and Listen" are three
magic words that will prolong life,
yet in spite of safety instructions and
highway-railroad grade eliminations,
the number of accidents at crossings
decreases very slowly. Motorists still
seem intent upon trying to beat the
train to the crossing.
In the first half of 1889, such fatal
accidents at crossings amounted to
$50, or decrease of only 16 compared
with the same period of 1888. During
this time 1876 persons were injured
at crossings, compared with 1862 in
the corresponding period of 1888.
How many needless drivers will there
be who kill or injure themselves or
others in this way during 1910?
The railroads are safe carriers, u.s.
ing every precaution to protect life.
During the coming year, drivers
should resolve to cooperate with them
by usign every precaution to reduce
grade crossing accidents.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

to spend some of their vacations in
at least a cursory study of European
democratic labor movements, and the
accepted part which they play in those
lands. Perhaps they would come to
understand why it is that British gov
ernments don't worry much about
their own Communists, as well as why
the French administration is able to
squelch the too-open advocates of
Stalinism in that country.
How many Congressman understand
that the present International Labor
Office, with offices in Geneva, and an
American executive officer, is the joint
product of American and European
labor movements, originating just
after the World War No. 1, largely
under the leadership of Samuel Comp
ers?
Believe it or not, the following quo
tation is from page 13 of the report
of the famous Dies committee:
Congress does not have the power
to deny to citizens the right to believe
in, teach or advocate, Communism,
Fascism and Nazism."
Do you suppose that the Dies COM
mittee actually read the Bill of
Rights?
And anyhow: what danger is there
of any American-born citizen (and
most of us are just that, now who is
above the grade of moron, and of
other than criminal ancestry or ten
denotes, accepting the advertised hy-
pocrisies of Stalinism and Hitlerism
1t is really worth while, to allow
the demonstration of the worth OF
free speech, free press, and free re-
ligious thought-if only to see how
they work.
Americans are getting laboratory
training in liberty, these days.

The 15,000-word report, the last Of
fetal act of the committee unless the
House extends its life, made no legis-
lative recommendations 1t merely
cited the committees accomplishments
and gave four reasons why it's MEM
bers believe the investigation of un-
American activities should be con-
tinued.
It's major appeal was to govern
ment agencies for an active campaign
of prosecution to "repel insidious
forms of attack by foreign powers
S. through organizations whose OBJ
vious objectives can be no other than
to destroy the American form of gov
ernment"
