.F.B.I. HEAD ASSAILS
VICILANTE METHODS

Milwaukee (ILNS).-J. Edgar Hoo
yer, director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, urged citizens to curb
their emotions in the search for Fifth
Columnists.
"The surging wave of patriotism
which followed the declaration of a
limited national emergency has it's
dangers" Hoover said in an address
before the international Association
of Chiefs of Police, in convention here.
"The vigilante method is distinctly
contrary to American ideals of JUS
tice," he said "Citizens groups could
more effectively and expeditiously
achieve their patriotic purposes if
their energies were directed toward
strengthening and supporting the law
enforcement agencies in their COM
munities rather than in seeking to
take over their duties and powers"
he asserted.

New York City (ILNS).-A record
of steady progress by the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters, pioneer
negro union, was outlined by Presi-
dent A. Philip Randolph, preliminary
to opening the organizations fifteenth
anniversary convention here. Ran
dolph has been president since the
union was organized August 25, 1925.
Speakers scheduled for the conven-
ton, which began September Is, in
cluded William Green, Mrs. Franklin
d. Roosevelt, Secretary of Labor

Mead, Mayor La Guardia and Otto S.
Meyer, chairman of the National

Negotiations for revision of col
lective bargaining agreement between

are set for September %. The union
is asking reduction on monthly work
ing hours from 240 to 210, with no

ure to meet and address,"
Both President Green and Secre-
Treasurer Meany expressed them
selves as highly pleased and gratifed
by the Presidents remarks.
Earlier in the day the convention
unanimously adopted a resolution en-
dorsing President Roosevelt for a
third term. Mayor La Guardia, of
New York City, speaking at the aft
ernoon session, declared that the
Presidents sole purpose in the de-
fense program was to keep war away
from the Americas.

Opening Election Campaign, He Tells Teamsers Vastly
More Workers Should Be Covered by Social Security;
Reasserts Opposition to War.

Washington, D. president Roose-
welt opened his third-term election
campaign before the wildly cheering
convention of the international Broth
erhood of Teamsters with direct
pledge that the government will not
abandon labor's gains in the national
defense drive.
The New Deal will not retreat in it's
domestic policies, nor will it offer ap-
peasement in it's foreign policy, the
President declared in an address that
was broadcast from historic Constitu-
tion Hall to the entire nation.
"Our progress must continue" the
President said. "We cannot stand
still, we cannot slip back. We must
look forward to certain definite things
in the near future"
Among these definite things" he
listed improvement and extension of
unemployment insurance, old-age pen
sions and other social security bene-
fits.
81 am convinced" the President
continued, "that a breakdown of ex-
listing labor and social legislation
would weaken rather than increase
our efforts for defense. Continuance
of them means the preservation of
the efficiency of labor. 1t means the
return to work of several millions
still unemployed.
"The employment of additional
workers and the provisions for over
time payments for overtime work will
insure adequate working hours at de-
cent wages to do all that is now nec-
essary in physical defense.
"Our mighty national defense effort
against all present and potential
threats cannot be measured alone in
terms of mathematical increase in the
number of soldiers and sailors, or of
guns or tanks or planes. Behind them
all must stand a united people whose
spiritual and moral strength has not
been sapped through hunger or want
or fear or insecurity"
Voicing his hatred of war, more
now than ever" and expressing his
supreme determination to keep this
country out of war, the President at
tackled the propaganda of fear
which seeks to spread the belief that
an attempt is being made ito lead us
into war" He said:
'The American people will reject
that kind of propaganda of fear. They
know that against the raging forces
loose in the world the best defense is
the strongest preparedness fighting
men and equipment in front, and fight
ing industry and agriculture behind
the lines.
Weakness in these days is cordial
| invitation to attack. That is nc
longer theory; it is proven fact
proved in the past year."
The President came out with fiat
call for military conscription, but at

Workmen's Compensation Law, the
Workmen's Compensation Board has
ruled. William H. Chestnut, director
of the Bureau of Workmen's Compen-
sation. said that the precedent-set-
ting decision makes every miners

The number of miners affected by the
disease in both hard and soft coal
regions was "legion," he added.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-09-20

the same time he insisted that it is
necessary and fair "that every hu-
man being in the United States con-
tribute his share" to national defense.
That applies, he said, to the men who
are drafted, to workers behind the
lines and to "every dollar of capital
in America"
The same principle of military con-
scription, he argued, should be applied
to industry so that the government
would be permitted to acquire the
services of any plant or factory, for
adequate compensation, if the owner
refuses to make its services available
to national defense.
The political high-spot of the ad-
dress was when the President referred
to those ''who regularly for three
years and eight months block labor's
welfare, and then for four months
loudly proclaim that they are labor's
true friends-from those who love the
laboring man in November but forget
him in January"
At these words, the 5000 delegates
from the Teamsters' Union and their
guests who packed the stately hall
leaped to their feet with laughter and
applause.
The President personally appealed
to organized labor to seek internal
peace and unity and to clean house of
racketeers. He said labor organiZa-
tions are not the only ones (which
have to suffer innocently for the
crimes and misdeeds of one or two of
their selfish and guilty members" The
rule, he said, applies to all trades and
professions, including his own profes-
sion of law.
The government, he declared, is de-
termined to "help labor unions clean
their house of those few persons who
have betrayed them"
The President praised labor's team
work" in the defense drive and called
attention to the fact that he had ap-
pointed a number of labor represent
atives to responsible positions in the
government, including your own dis
tinguished president" Daniel j. Tobin.
Mr.. Tobin introduced the President
to the convention and to the radio au-
dience in brief address. He sat be-
side the President on the platform
| together with President William Green
and Secretary Treasurer G orge
Meany of the American Federation of
Labor, the entire executive board of
the Teamsters' Union and many other
high officials of unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
| This was the first time that Presi-
dent Roosevelt ever addressed a union
convention during his two administra-
tions. On his way out of the hall to
his waiting automobile, escorted by
Mr.. Tobin, the President told the
Teamsters' president:

BUILDING UNIONS
AGREE ON SHIFTS
ON U.S.H.A. JOBS

Washington ILNS) - Co-operat
ing to speed up commercial construc-
ton of low-rent housing for national
defense workers, the building trades
unions throughout the country are
agreeing to work double shifts of me-
chanics at straight time wages on
defense housing projects financed by
the United States Housing Authority
This arrangement, which cuts build
ing time in half without substantially
increasing cost, already has been made
in seven localities. 1t is based on
resolutions adopted by the local unions
which provide that they will furnish
double shifts at straight time on an
8-hour day, 40-hour week basis. Only
where individuals or shifts work more
than 8 hours in one day. or more than
40 hours in one week, is an overtime
rate to be paid.
Localities in which unions already
have adopted this resolution are:
Montgomery, Ala; Columbus, Ca;
Pensacola, Fla; East Moline, Rock
Island and Rantoul, Ill.
Negotiations leading to the setting
up of similar arrangements in other
localities on u. S. HI. A. defense hous-
ing projects are being carried on by
Walter V. Price, director of the U. s.
Fl. A. Labor Relations Division.
Commenting on this cooperation by
building trades unions, Nathan Straus,
administrator of the United States
Housing Authority, said:
"This patriotic cooperation by
union labor means much for the sue
cess of the national defense program.
1t is speeding the construction of
homes urgently needed for thousands
of defense workers who are moving
into industrial centers and Army and
Navy posts where housing shortages
already are acute. 1t means that we

can stretch the limited funds at the
disposal of the United States Housing
Authority to provide many more
homes in the next few months than
otherwise would have been possible.
Administrator Straus also pointed
out that organized labor has staunchly
supported the U. S. H. A. program
since it's inception.

Blood Test TO Be Made
In D. {. Parentage Suit

The question, who is the father
of 14-month-o!d John Warren
Beach? today was in the hands of
Brooklyn physician, who was to
analyze the baby's blood and that
of his mother and reputed father.
James E. Beach, %, of 905 F street
NE, a mechanic, sued his wife,
Mrs. Mary E. Beach, 10, of I'll c
street NE, for absolute divorce more
than year ago, claiming he was
not the father of their then unborn
child.
The request by Mr.. Beach's attor-
ney, John Paul Jones, for a blood
grouping test was contested by Mrs.
Beach until the United States Court
of Appeals upheld the validity of the
claim. Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs.
Beach, their son and the two law
yers went to George Washington
Hospital, where blood samples were
taken.
They were sent to DR.. Alexander
