At this moment Of sadness
throughout most Of the world, I
want to talk with you about q
number of subjects that directly
affect the future Of the United
States. We are shocked by the
almost incredible stories that
come to us Of what is happening
at this moment to the civilian
populations of Norway and Hol-

bourg and France.
I think 1t is right on this Sab

word in behalf Of women and
children and old men who need
help-immediate help in their
present distress-help from us
across the seas, from us who are
still free to give it.

people because each one Of you
that is listening to me tonight
has way Of helping them. The

resents each Of us, is rushing

Please-I beg you-give according

There are many among us who
In the past closed their eyes to

some of their fellow Americans
told them-that what was taking
place in Europe was none of our
business; that no matter what
happened over there, the United
States could always pursue its
peaceful and unique course in the
world.
There are many among us who
closed their eyes, from lack Of

that the many miles Of salt water

Dairy Company Seeks To
Make Union Pay Penalty

New York City (ILNS).-The Shelf
field Farms Company has instructed
it's attorneys to take all steps neces-
sary to compel payment of a $4,000
penalty levied against the Sheffield
unit of the Milk Wagon Drivers
Union, A. F. of L., for an "illegal'
strike last February. The award for
dmaages was made by Arthur S.
Meyer, impartial chairman of labor
relations for the milk industry.
Originally the company accepted a
recommendation of Meyer that the
payment be reduced to $4,000 in the
interest of harmony, but this offer ex-
pired at midnight August 15. The
unions contract with the company for
bids strikes.
Officials of the milk company said
any money collected from the union
would be put in the employe pension
fund. Their principal object in order
ing legal action, they said, was to i'm
press upon the union the necessity for
full compliance with the contract pro-
visions.

N.Y.A. PART-TIME
WORK BIG AID TO
SCHOOL STUDENTS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) More
than 100000 secondary school students
are being enabled to return to school
this month as result of part-time
jobs provided by the National Youth
Administration, N.Y.A. Administrator
Aubrey Williams announced here.
During the entire school year now
starting more than 100000 different
secondary school students will be
given part-time work for wages
which mean the difference between
being able to continue their education
and dropping out of school, Williams
said.
More than $4,000 tax-exempt, nom
proft-making secondary schools, which
have been certified as bona fde edu-
cational institutions by the superin-
tendents of schools in the states in
which they are located, will partici-
pate. Parochial and other privately
controlled institutions, as we'll as pub
lie schools have established their ell
gibility for participation in the N.Y.A.
program.
School authorities in each commu-
nifty will be responsible for the selec-
tion of the students to be employed
and for the establishment of suitable
types of work activities.
Students are selected on the basis
of proved need and demonstrated scho-
lastic ability and earn between So and
Sc month. In the last school year
the students employed by the National
Youth Administration came from FAM
lilies having average annual incomes
of $557.00.

Defense Commission Declares
Against Lowering Of Labor
Standards As Fixed By Law
National Defense Advisory Commission Issues Statement
of Labor-An Work Under Program Should Comply
With Standards Set Up by Present Legislation

ployed labor may be absorbed in the
defense program, all reasonable eff
forts should be made to avoid hours
in excess of 40 per week. However,
in emergencies or where the needs of
the national defense cannot otherwise
be met, exceptions to this standard
should be permitted. When the re-
quirements of the defense program
make it necessary to work in excess
of these hours, or where work is re-
quired on Saturdays, Sundays or holi-
days, overtime should be paid in ac-
cordance with the local recognized
practices.
Labor Law Compliance
"All work carried on as part of the
defense program should comply with
federal statutory provisions affecting
labor wherever such provisions are
applicable. This applies to the Walsh
Healey Act, Fair Labor Standards
Act, the National Labor Relations Act,
etc. There should also be compliance
with state and local statutes affecting
labor relations, hours of work, wages,
workmen's compensation, safety, san
itation, etc.
adequate provision should be made
for the health and safety of employees;
Gas far as possible, the local en-
ployment or other agencies designated
by the United States Employment
Service should be utilized;
"Workers should not be discrimi-
mated against because of age, sex, race
or color;
adequate housing facilities should
be made available for employees"

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Amer-
ica's defense program can be used to
reduce unemployment and otherwise
strengthen the human fiber of our ma
tion," the National Defense Advisory
Commission said in statement of
labor policy issued here.
All work under the labor program
should comply with standards set up
by federal, state and local legislation,
the statement said. 1t declared en-
phatically against lengthening of
working hours, unless found abso-
lutely imperative.
The statement follows:
primary among the objectives of
the Advisory Commission to the Coun-
Gil of National Defense is the in
crease in production of materials re-
quired by our armed forces and the
assurance of adequate future supply
of such materials with the least pos
sible disturbance to production of
supplies for the civilian population.
The scope of our present program en-
tails bringing into production many
of our unused resources of agriculture,
manufacturing and man power.

"This program can be used in the
public interest as a vehicle to re-

Runaway Prices Face u S. Attack Before Conference
Retail Trade Representatives-Program Outlined
for Retailer Participation in Defense.

Washington, D. C. (II.NS).-If the
retailing industry fails to collaborate
with the national defense program by
preventing runaway prices, it may ex-
pect a government breakdown" such
as it has never known before, the in
dustry was warned by one of it's
spokesmen here.
The warning was given at confer
ence of retail trade representatives
called by Miss Harriet Elliott, con-
sumner adviser on the National De-
fense Advisory Commission.
Cooperation between retailers and
the Consumer Division of the defense
commission was assured by the con-
ference, the commission said.
Retailers ''On Trial
Outlining program for retailer
participation in defense, Fred Laz-
arus, Jr., leading Ohio merchant, said
the retail industry is con trial" and
added:
eff we fail here to obtain SUBJ
stantial agreement on the major
outlines of program that will
enable us to take care of civilian
needs, we can look forward to
government regulation such as
we have never known before"
"Unless by our own actions" Laz-
arus also said, 1--WE can prevent price
increases and shortages at the pre-
retail levels we shall be drawn into
a situation in which government reg
ulation becomes inevitable"
"Buy Now Ads Hit
Lazarus denounced advertising urg-
ing "buy now" on the ground that
prices are likely to go up in war time
and said:
"There is, of course, a short-run
advantage to be gained by advertising
that the consumer can save money by
buying now. There is no long-run ad-
vantage. If the cry succeeds in Gre
ating public hysteria, it cannot help
promoting an immediate shortage of
goods and price dislocations. If it does
not produce hysteria, that is, if the
public does not believe it, it may lead
to buyers strike.
eff retailers lack of foresight makes
controls necessary after the oppor-
tunity offered us at the meeting here,
has itself to blame"
Miss Elliott opened the conference
by outlining some of the consumer
retailer problems confronting her Of
flee. She mentioned the danger of
soaring prices and warned against
"buy now" advertising, which she said
contributes very definitely to the de-
velopment of that kind of price spiral
ling that we ought to be resisting with
every means at our command
Effective Action Promised

Consumer Division, made a vigorous
attack on "out-of-line" prices and de-
clared the division would not permit

tough enough to bring about rapid,
effective and lasting correction" he
asserted.
The outcome of the meeting was
the naming by organized retailers of

LUMBER WORKERS
GET BACK WAGES

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) - Fol-
lowing two months of activity in the
nationwide drive for compliance with
the Fair Labor Standards Act in the
lumber industry, Colonel Philip B.
Fleming, administrator, Wage and
Hour Division, U. S. Department of
Labor, announced that inspections
have been made of 3,412 lumber
camps, yards, mills and similar estab-
lishments, and that back wages pay
able to lumber employees to bring their
earnings up to the legal rate have been
computed to a total of $307,036 the
greater part of which has already been
paid. Additional restitution of $780,
900 or more is indicated in cases not
yet completed.
Starting its campaign June 10, the
Wage and Hour Division assigned over
100 inspectors to the task in various
parts of the country. They have found
that the majority of violations have
been unwilling and usually due to ig-
norance of the law. In such cases, in
spectors have instructed violators in
the proper proceedings and have
showed how to work out restitution
due employees formerly receiving SUBJ
minimum wages. In most such cases
the employers have paid back wages
on an entirely voluntary basis. Only
two criminal complaints have been
filed by the division in the two months
of the drive.
The number of employees benefited
in the $307, ,O36 restitution already fig
ured is 1850. The wage and hour
law requires payment of minimum
hourly wage of thirty cents to en-
ployes in interstate commerce or pro-
ducing goods for such commerce.
