as we exercise them wisely and resist
encroachments on them.
BY common consent priority has
now been granted to defense produc-
tion. One and all agree that we can
fight revolution Of destruction only
with force. The keys to defense equip
ment are adequate air force, mech
anized troops and ships. Our problem
is to get equipment with the speed
necessitated by the imminent danger.
Manufacturers and producers plan
ming to undertake production required
for our defense program, have been
united on two demands: First, that
their industries should be allowed to
write off the cost of plant expansion
for defense production within five
years with allowances for depreciation
and obsolesence; and secondly, the
elimination of restrictions upon hours
of work because of an alleged labor
shortage. In the case of munitions,
the government is planning to build
the plants and lease them to the pro-
ducing companies.
In accord with this background of
protection for manufacturers against
undue costs, are legal regulations to
pay workers overtime in excess of the
maximum standard of 40 hours pro-
vided by the Walsh-Healey Act and
az hours in the Fair Labor Standards
Act. The regulation does not prohibit
longer hours but insures workers
against long hours at undue expense
to them.
On Labor Day 1910 we can rejoice
in progress even during a period of
depression and conflict. Our union
membership is at an all-time peak.
Employed workers have made prog
ress despite the depression. Approx
imately 100000 union workers have
gained the 3O-hour week while the av-
erage work week for all dropped from
so to 40; hourly earnings increased
20 per cent in dollars and 45 per cent
in purchasing power. But progress
for the employed is offset by the num-
Der unemployed who are denied places
to earn living in our business struc-

Labor's Stake

1t has been a favorite device of the
Germans, to picture the British and
French working people held in bond
age, forced to fight and die in order
to save little clique at the top of
their governments. Yet the British
masses have supported this war from
the very beginning, and the leaders of
British labor have now been placed in
key positions in the direction of the
British war effort. British labor be-
lieves it's stake in this war to be at
least as great as that of the aristo-
cratic families. 1t knows that Hit
Ter victory would wipe out all that
labor has gained in generations of
struggle.-New York Times.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-08-30

ture. When we learn that during
these decades productivity has in
creased 80 per cent, we realize that
upon a return to normal conditions
the 30-hour week must be established
for all and that industries must be
expanded to capacity to provide work
opportunity for all and the materials
for higher standards of living for all.
As labor costs per unit of output have
decreased 25 per cent, wage increases
could without difficulty much more
nearly approximate the increase in
productivity. Sustaining purchasing
power in the hands of workers. fam
lilies is necessary to maintain produc-
tion at capacity. And this is the basic
step in solving unemployment which
is our major and most imperative
problem blocking the way to pros
perity in peace and unity for national
defense.
Upon the organized trade union
movement rests the responsibility for
maintaining labor standards for the
maintenance of progress for labor and
prosperity for the whole nation. 1t IS
our duty and our mission to maintain
standards as our economic and social
service, and to preserve our free trade
unions as an organization necessary
to government and justice in industry
and to democracy in our political gov
ernment.
The labor movement in the United
States, the oldest labor movement OF
the Western Hemisphere, has a re-
sponsibility for helping to preserve
free unions in the New World. With
out free unions democracy and liberty
cannot exist. This solemn duty rests
upon the individual members of all
unions. Labor Day 1910 should con-
stitute day of rededication and plan
ming to carry out this high purpose.

By WILLIAM GREEN
President,
American Federation of Labor

TN these moving times when that
i which gives value to our lives and
civilization lies in the balance, the OBJ
servance of Labor Day takes on new
solemnity and new obligation. La
Dor Day is in labor's economic world
what Independence Day is in our po-
litical life. Labor Day typifes the
status which labor has secured through
union organization. For the wage
Garner finding the union means finding
the way to those industrial rights
which are the basis for justice and
freedom in that important part of life
spent in earning a livelihood. We
know that if we exercise political free
dom we must also have economic free
dom. The trade union is labor's eco
nomic declaration of independence.
The union assures that basic right
representation. Through representa-
tion the union can present it's views,
influence decisions, and suggest ways
and means for dealing with problems.
The right to representation, whether
in law courts, in political bodies, in
special groups or in decisions on work
terms and standards, is the provision
essential to individual initiative and
feeling of justice and self-reliance.
Representation implies rights and
status and lays the foundations for a
continuous program for betterment.
Representative must be designated
by those represented. This alone can
give them authority to act.
Free trade unions and democratic
institutions are inseparable and grow
from the same ideals of liberty.
Liberty cannot be given to any in
dividual, group or nation. 1t must
be achieved and maintained by those
concerned. This implies responsibility
and discipline on the part of those who
are members and officials of free or
CARNATIONS as we'll as those who con-
stitute democratic people. We can
be sure of preserving our rights only

day she and several other women
were on her front porch talking,
while her baby was asleep in one Of

baby cry out, so Mrs. E looked
in through the front window to see
what was the matter. A woman in
a gray dress was bending over the
cradle and lifted from II
bundle about the size and shape cf a
mailbag. Mrs. E rushed to the
hall door and opened it, wishing to

was in the bag but by the time
the door was opened, the woman
had disappeared. The baby had APP

How did she know it was ghost?
Not only the sudden disappearance,
