1910

THE New Year dawns upon world Mortified by
savage onsaughts on civilization and human
freedom that threaten the progress of a thousand
years. Great nations aligned with programs for
RECOMMENDATION under dictators threaten the exist
ence of free democratic nations. The decision OF
single nations to revert to a form OF government
that does not respect the dignity of human beings
and the right to individual freedom, is shocking
but when such decisions are accompanied by plans
for aggression and international promotion of such
ideas, the situation becomes very dangerous for
free, democratic institutions and the kind of civil
ization that measures progress by development or
the capacities of human beings for freedom and
self-government. No country can be safe from in
vasion by emssaries Of such doctrines of violence
and autOcracy.
We have seen acts of aggression and violence
in the Old World by which Ethiopia, China
Czecho-Slovakia Poland and Finland have been at
tackled and their right to selfgovernment chal-
lenged. We have seen in our own country the fol-
lowers of the communist party find their way into
prominence in American institutions, so that they
constitute grave threat to American institutions
and ideals. We realize from experience in other
countries where dictators have replaced repre-
sentative institutions that dictators first seek to
control or destroy the bona tide labor movement
The labor movement has been controlled either by
violence or by regulation through governmental!
agencies. Our safety lies in realizing implied
dangers and preparing to defend our rights and
opportunities. We have in the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor institutions whose policies are
well established and whose devotion to American
institutions is unquestioned Through the decades
we have refused to lend our support to any but
constructive proposals and we have been national
bulwark against subversive propaganda and their
agents who sought to fasten themselves on the
Nations wage-earners. We hold to the principle
that a good trade unionist is good worker and
a good citizen, loyal to our Republic, and we have
sought to build our labor movement on this prin-
ciple
We must maintain this position if we would
maintain our freedom and dignity as an organiza-
tion and as individual citizens. There is the OPP
portunity and the obligation to develop in the New
of human freedom and representative government
The organized labor movement can dO more than
any other single group of citizens to accomplish
this purpose, but only labor movement that has
kept itself free from radical alliances give this
service.

UNION SERVICE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY

WITH January 1910 begins payment Of monthly
benefits to persons over 65 years of age. Be
cause of the amendments adopted by the last Con-
gress, the monthly payments will be much more
substantial than those provided in the original
law with additional benefits for wives also over
65 years Of age, for dependents and for survivors.
The old law made provisions" only for the wage
Garner whereas the new law treats the family Of
the wage-carner as unit and provides protection
for all constituting that unit.
The law is intended to provide regular income
for all over 60 years of age who were accustomed
to earn living in industry. 1t is based upon a
simple plan for compulsory contributions by work
ers and their employers under government ad-
miniStration. The terms of eligibility and appca-
tiOn are so simple that need employ any
person to take of his or her own claims. What
ever help any worker may need in presenting his
case can be given by union executive. Each
union could well designate some official or lndl-
vldual to be ready to advise and help all members
upon old age insurance. The person designated
would need TO know what the Social Security
Board required as proof of age as to help in
dividuals to secure the most easily available proof
of age and tell union members and other workers
where and how to apply. sound social security
policy and service should prove an effective method
of attacking and holding union members. The To-
cal union official should advise members to get
into their possession well in advance of time of
need birth certificate, copy of baptsmal record

Let's patronize our potteries,
And stop this slow decline;
Be sure that all your dishes
Have the good old Union sign.
Let's keep our cash in old U. S.,
On everything we buy;
Take care of those at home, I say,
And keep our standards high.
Let's be neutral, every way:
In war, and buying too;
Because the Union Label
Is a natural, through and through
Let's be little. leerie
Of this foreign merchandise;
But always give a friendly ear
To Union-made advice.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Great Britain learned during the
World War No. 1, that when the wo-
men making munitions worked over
time, the production of munitions
slowed down. Happily, the rest of the
civilized world has not forgotten the
lessons then learned.
Some of the "speed up" systems
which were developed after the war
were in direct contravention of these
lessons-but then, it was peace-time,
and man-and-woman power was cheap
and didn't matter. But the labor
unions had not forgotten, and some of
the bitterest labor battles have been
fought out along that line in the last
ten years.
In one of the cases in Britain, a
decrease, of 1875 per cent in weekly
hours of work resulted in an increase
of % per cent on hourly output. Sew
eral employers who were forced to
shorten the day because of lighting
regulations and other reasons, found
the output undiminished.
x X X
American experience in that period
also showed in the case of a tool
manufacturer who reduced labor turn
over and eliminated lost time, while
reducing hours by 9 per cent without
a reduction in pay, but secured an in
crease of production for the whole
plant of 10 per cent, and in certain de-
partments even 184 per cent increase.
At the same time it was reported
that the Ford Motor Company secured
greatly increased production with a
work day shortened from 8 hours to
8 hours.
These experiences have been ef-
fective in bringing about much of the
state legislation for shorter hours, as
shown by the fact that in 1918 only
8 states had the S-hour day, 43-hour
week (for some occupations) while in
1889 there were 18 states having such
legislation. States having minimum
wage laws also increased in the same
period from IL to 26; and regulation
Of industrial home work by legislation
was increased from 13 to Is states.

Any hope of complete isolation
from wars abroad is rendered impos-
sible by international radio broadcast
ing, the Federal Communications Com
mission declares in it's annual report
to Congress.
Pointing out that the World War
had no broadcast or high-frequency
communications problem, it cites that
U. S. now has some 500 broadcast
stations (also $4,000 amateur stations
and more than 5000 commercial sta
tions) whose air messages to to more
than 40,O00,00O receiving sets.
International broadcasts by short
wave, it adds, "now cut across time
and distance to challenge any claim
of isolation"

Says Prime Minister de Valera of
Ireland: "The fact that in the case
Of modern great war the victor and
the vanquished nations alike have, for
years after the war is over, to endure
privations as great almost as those of
the war itself, should urge that a set
tlement be sought now in goodwill
rather than wait until exhaustion has
forced the requisite dispositions for
peace"

Our trade union movement belongs to us
only as long as it is controlled by its trade union
Should the day come, whether
through propaganda OF otherwise, when agencies
outside OF our trade union movement are given a
hand in shaping it's policies and it's methods, we
will lose our control and find ourselves forced to
submit to the direction and control of others
