basic and most effective move for child welfare is
to increase the family income SO that the childs
wants can be met when the need develops. Child
ren's needs cannot be deferred until income ma
terializes-ch -child-needs come in normal growth and
must be met as they develop. Union demand for
higher wages and shorter work-hours provide the
substance through which proper environment
and care may be provided for growing children.
The second point in Labors program for child well
fare is legislation prohibiting child labor and max
ing school attendance compulsory. To make these
provisions really effective, Labor has continuously
advocated tax supported education for all, has
urged extension of educational opportunities to
provide for all age groups with adequate appro-
priation of funds
We have added to our program demand for
IA national health program so that adequate medi-
cal care may be available for the family-including
the children.
Our program would maintain the family as
necessary to give children social and spiritual
training necessary to capacity for constructive
personal relationships in life.

REFUGEE INDUSTRIES

THE war in Europe has already disrupted worle
commerce and brought reorganization OF pro
duction within all countries 1t has greatly in
creased the gold reserves of the United States by
the flight of capital from other lands. In addition
there has been marked flight of European indus
tries to this continent-some permanent some
only for time production. Industries from Cen
tral Europe have sought refuge in United States
and Canada. A conspicuous symbol of this move
ment is the well-known Bata Shoe Company. The
Bata plant was one of the show places of Czecho
slovakia. American methods of mass production
had been imported into this factory mill in agr
cultural section of Moravia. Among these peas
ant people the ways and traditions of feuda
Europe were still the controlling way of life. The
people were very poor and unaccustomed to hope
for better things. They accepted the industrial
tread-mills of the harvest fields and the authority
of the land-owning families. Niggardy wages
were better than the revenues from feudal agri
culture Bata's loW-priced shoes made their way
on the markets of the world in competition with
the shoes of better-paid workers. This company is
building a branch in rural Maryland, expecting te
duplicate social and economic conditions prevail
ing in it's plant in Czechoslovakia where great
walled factory was surrounded by dormitories fol
workers, with the stores, services and recreation
agences necessary for community life. The fac
tory took advantage of depressed labor conditions
and maintained rigorous authority and discipline
that limited the development of the people.
In the mill town now under construction ir
Maryland with it's technically modern provisions
for work and housing American Labor insists
there shall be equally modern provisions for labor
union organization for collective bargaining anc
American standards of hours and wages. We have
learned full we'll from fugitive industries fleeing
labor legislation with advanced standards, anC
building up low standards in depressed areas
lessons that help us to meet the problem created
by refugee industries if they seek not only refuge
for themselves but for un-American practices.

TAXING TO DESTROY
(From the Washington Post)

(From the Washington Post)
The Patman bill providing for puni-
tive taxation of interstate chain stores
would, in the opinion of Secretary
Wallace, discourage and prevent"
efficient distribution and marketing.
In letter addressed to the chairman
Of the committee now considering the
Patman bill, Mr. Wallace voiced the
concern of the Department of Agri-
culture over the prospect of an in
crease in food distribution costs that
would widen the spread between
prices paid to farmers and paid by
consumers.
Evidently the Secretary of Agricul-
ture is convinced that chain store or
ganizations have introduced economies
into marketing that benefit consumers
and producers alike. Possibly abuses
exist which need to be curbed. But Mr..
Wallace takes the sensible view that
they should be dealt with directly.
To resort to discriminatory forms of
taxation to break up chain store or
ganizations or to destroy any other
business that has a demonstrated So
cial value is an outrageous abuse of
the taxing power.

LABOR PROPOSES MORE JOBS

THE decline in industrial production recorded by
the Federal Reserve Index, and the attendant
decline in employment, again emphasize the plea
of the American Federation of Labor that steps
be taken to provide more jobs in private industry
on basis that will mean sustained employment.
We have had experience enough to know that Gov
ernment spending will not of itself be sufficient to
bring full economic recovery and that it may even
be so administered as to block recovery of private
industries.
Under the National Recovery Act when we had
general wage increases with reductions in weekly
hours, we had a substantial industrial up-swing.
We now propose that private industry increase
wages enough to provide purchasing power to buy
the output of consumer goods, and give jobs to ap-
proxmately three million more workers. If indus
tries would agree to carry out this suggestion in
concert, the result would be an increase in busi-
ness activity that would be sustained by an in
crease in national wealth with stimulus to the
whole economic system. If we have action in this
can avoid initiation and the meshes of Government
regulation.
There is no need of fancy formulas or any ad-
dltonal agencies What we need is the will to do
and spirit OF cooperation. Increasing workers
wages means increasing directly the amount of
national income that will go into consumer buying.
Increases in consumer buying will in turn start
the wheels Of capital goods industries.
If those controlling industrial policies are will
ing to try this suggestion, they will find ready CO.
operation from the American Federation OF Labor.
We will be glad to contribute our experience and
our disciplined unions for the achievement of this
purpose that means so much to us and the whole
nation.
We realize that changes in the European stu
alton will vitally affect business conditions in this
country That is all the more reason why we should
do everything possible to strengthen our economic
position so that we may better absorb the shocks
of changes and be ready to take advantage of all
possible opportunities.
Labor urges immediate and hearty cooperation
for more jobs and higher national income

CHILD HEALTH DAY

THROUGH the leadership of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, May Day was officially made
Child Health Day for our Nation May Day with
its old-world traditions and festivals, celebrating
the high-tide of returning life in the growing
things had been seized upon by revolutionary
groups for demonstrations in support of their new
doctrines. In order that May Day in the New
World might be dedicated to constructive purposes
the Federation secured the enactment Of Federal
legislation declaring May 1 Child Health Day
There is every reason therefore that organized
labor everywhere should join in local plans and
celebrations should arrange it's own celebration
During the past year has occurred the usual
Decennial National Conference child welfare
The whole field of child welfare was discussed
Much of it had been in previous conferences but
with an additional element in understanding that
revolutionized approaches to child welfare prob
lens. When the family is accepted the socia
unit then the family becomes the medium through
which the welfare Of children can be advanced. The
way to providing better care is of course bascally
financial. Without funds to buy, knowledge OF
what to do is barren Ninety-three per cent OF
all families have incomes of less than $4,000 ycal
for all wants; Is per cent Of all families have in
comes under 81 800 year. Obviously the child
rem as well as all members of these families car
expect to have only normal wants satisfied. Emer
gency or luxury demands will bring debt. The mos
