WHAT LABOR SHOULD KNOW

Igenerations-on their opportunity to
be brought into the world free of in
herited disease and the right after
wards of having the proper foods to
develop the mind and body as Nature
intended and Of having system of
teaching free of superstition, fear and
the restricted knowledge of free
| thought. l hope sometime to see the
day when every labor leader, no mat
ter how large or small his organiza-
ton may be, will be forced to pass
an examination to prove he has the
knowledge to intelligently fulfill the
job he has-so he will be capable of
carrying to the members of his organi-
cation the true facts of economics,
which was the basic intention of the
labor organization when formed.
There isn't the slightest excuse for
the membership of organized labor of
the United States ever going in want
of job at anytime except through
sheer ignorance of economics. Or
ganized capital educates their stool
pigeons and sends them into the ranks
of organized labor to control and lead
them off on by-paths and even away
from the bylaws of their constitution,
and still labor has never become in
terested enough to familiarize them
selves with the why-fors of a labor
organization. You had better stop
some day and ask yourself a few
questions. What is the basic prin-
ciple of a labor organization? What
is the meaning of true economics?
And are we, as an organization, exert
ing our full strength and intellect
against want and hunger? Just for a
start take these few questions and
think about them for few minutes.
If you can't arrive at a satisfactory
answer ask some one else. If they
can't tell you keep on asking until
you find some one that can. When
you finally arrive at clear concep-
tion of the labor situation and your
responsibilities to the peo-
pie that are trusting you with their
destiny, roll up your sleeves and start
to work intelligently and honestly for
the betterment of your organization
and give your own flesh and blood an
They will be struggling
along with the same problems of mis-
cry and want after you are dead and
gone unless you help make a POS
SIBLE change in their lives for equal
opportunities.
The people's voice., 1940-02-14

If | had my way there would be
law within labor itself compelling al
labor leaders, no matter how small
an organization of workers he was thu
head Of to pass an examination of {
certain standard on economics and the
art of debunking propaganda, so wher
he carried to his organization pure
unadulterated propaganda put out by
the big interests and their lackeys
he would at least get red in the face
while spreading 1t as a fact. The
ignorance of some of them today on
the facts of world and local events
Is appalling and disgusting. Many of
them seen to be good, honest workers
for what they think is right, but they
haven't the least conception of where
they are headed or what the outcome
will be. And of course the rank and
file of the organization is getting little
or no value out of their organization
that was formed for the purpose of
reaching, as near as possible, social
economy.
A child is taken from the home and
it's mind is ground through the mill
of our school system and reshaped to
fit the system we live under. He is
taught to be loyal and true to the in
dustrialist and unquestioning of the
causes of the reverses in his econom-
ic welfare. He comes out of school
with a vague idea that the worlds
economics are in a divine hand and
are controlled by it. With such an
understanding he is tumbled out into
society to scrape up his beans wher-
ever he can find them, under any
conditions, and with no holds barred.
After a few rounds of years under
such unfair conditions he commences
to realize that alone he is not equal
to the task of controlling his destiny,
so he joins his respective union or
ganization expecting that his economic
reverses will be rectified. He looks
for guidance from the leadership,
which in many cases knows very little
more about the cause than does the
raw recruit. So the whole organiza-
tion is grasping and stumbling in the
dark trying to find a way out, but
accomplished nothing but going
around and around in the same orbit
If you practice a trade of any kind
you must first pass an examination.
In most cities there is a rigid law on
plumbing which must be done by
bonafide, licensed plumber. Even
stenographer writing a letter to Mr..
Jones asking him if he cares to buy
a couple of cases of damaged goods
from a fire sale must first have knowl-
edge of her work, and has to have a
certificate or letter from some reput-
able person to prove her capabilities.
But a labor leader, a man that holds
the lives and well-being of millions
of humans in his hands not only of
this generation but of generations to
come, is not required to know a thing
in the world about his work. In his
hands, if he only knew it, is the bal
ancing power of the human mind and
body on its upward struggle to per-
fection. The leaderships' knowledge
or lack of knowledge is going to con-
troll to large extent the rate at
which mankind is going to build his
mind and body. The 1eaderships'
and the way he uses it has
a direct bearing on the unborn child

cruiting officers will get lists Of all
male enrollees between the ages of

istration projects, the NYA said here.
Officials said the order followed a
suggestion by the recruiting service
that many unemloyed youths now get
ting between s14 and $21 a month
from the NYA would rather get the
s21 base pay in the army plus food
and clothing.
The NYA said it had agreed to turn
over the lists on the condition that
army recruits were not solicited on
the site of NYA projects or during
working hours. Recruiting officers,
however, may visit prospects at their
homes or when the NYA workers are

|Chrysler Motors
Doubles Profits
Despite Strike

NEW YORK.-(FP)-Despite a 54.
day strike of its $4,000 workers, the
Chrysler Corp. doubled it's net profits
in 1889,
The annual report issued by Pres.
X. T. Keller showed that the firms
net profit for 1899 was s36,S79,S29 as
compared with s1S,79S,294 in 1888.
The strike, conducted by the United
Automobile Workers (CIO), was the
biggest one in private industry during
the year. 1t was settled on a basis
giving workers about s5,750,000 in
wage increases, equal to about one
seventh of the years profits. Com
pany executives insisted that a more
substantial increase was impossible.

FOURTEEN WPA
WORKERS GET
JAIL TERMS

| APOLTS.-(FP)-S Sentences
ranging from 60 days to eight months
were imposed by U. S. District Judge
M. M. Joyce on ID workers who tool
part last July in the protest against
reduction of prevailing scales or
WPA. Three others escaped with
probation.
Sentences for five who pleaded nolle
contendere January 81 will be handed
down at later date, but no date has
been set for the sentencing of IA WON
en- defendants.
Although U. S. Attorney o. John
Rogge, in moving January 81 for dis
missal of charges against 125 other
defendants, intimated that the step
was recommended by President Roose
welt, labor took a different view. "The
workers were released because OF
mass pressure" said James Flower,
organizer for the Intl Hod Carriers
Building & Common Laborers Union
(AFL).
George E. Murk, chairman of labor's
defense committee, commented: "The
committee wants the public to know
that the defense of these workers was
undertaken by the defense committee
regardless of their membership or af-
filiation with any particular labor or
ganization.
''It was the main contention of the
committee and organized labor gen.
orally that from the beginning none
of the indicted persons was guilty of
any conspiracy against the U. S. and
this contention has been consistently
In this connection it
should be borne in mind that all con-
spiracy indictments have been dropped
and that the five defendants who are
pleading nolle contendere are plead
ing only to one substantive charge"
The indictments were the result of
a clash outside struck Minneapolis
WPA sewing project last July in
which one picket was killed and
policeman died from heart attack
Joyce was formerly chief counsel for
the Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad.
The defendants faced maximum SEN
tence of two years in jail and $4,000
fines.

MECHANIZED MINES

After coal Is "shot down" from the
walls, it must be loaded for transport
out of the mine. The tonnage ham
died each year approximates the total
weight moved in excavating the Pan
anna Canal, and until recently this
work was all done by human muscle.
This required, as late as 1928, the
work of 100000 men. Mechanical
leaders, now being installed rapidly,
will displace most, if not all, of these
hand leaders. The Jeffery L-400 elec-
trio loader, can load six tons per
minute.

Carlton County Has
First Rural ZOning

Carlton county became the first
Minnesota county to adopt rural
zoning ordinance under the 1889 state
enabling act, when it adopted a reso-

restricted land use zones in Is town.
ships on May 8. The decision grew
out of land use study conducted
during the past year by farmers,
county and township officials and the
Agricultural Extension Service.
The new ordinance prohibits set
Element in certain areas where quality
of soil, distance from existing roads
and schools or other conditions are
unfavorable for a desirable type of
rural life. Study of their problems
on the part of Carlton county peo-
pie is continuing, says S. F. Rutford,
extension land use specialist, and it
is expected that recommendations for
a more rapid settlement of the better
areas will also be forthcoming. The
problem of tax-reverted lands is like
wise attracting their attention.
Action on the part of the Carlton
county and township boards repre-
sents a beginning in the movement
to develop a sounder land use pro-
gram for the counties in northeastern
Minnesota, Rutford says.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

There are this week three outstand-
ing events in the field of the Euro
pean war to report upon; one is the
fact that Italy has declared war
against Great Britain and France;
the other is the continued and, SEEM
ingly, irrepressible German onslaught
on Paris, and the third is the an
nouncement that Norway has capitu-
lated to Germany. All of it spells
further success for the German arms.
MussOlini Speech.
Monday evening Benito Mussolini,
dictator premier of Italy, delivered
from the balcony of Palazzo Venezia
in Rome a speech in which he summed
up his grievances against Great Brit
ain and France. Italy deplored, &C
cording to Mussolini, the superiority
of the rich over the poor of the
world, and to help the poor the
country was going to war. That
was the gist of the Mussolini effusion
against what he called the gold
holding nations of the world.
But what he actually wanted,
was to break the British naval SUI
premacy in the Mediterranean; to
secure territorial gains in North
Africa, and to redeem his pledge
to help his ally, Adolf Hitler.
It had long been known that Italy
was ready for war, and that she was
