IDEAL LABOR
LEADER
By DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

Moses was the great labor leader
who delivered from cruel bondage
millions of Israelites who were slaves
in Egypt. He might well serve as an
example for the modern labor leader
The development Of such a leader is
always a slow process. For in the
labor movement there is so much at
stake, and there are so many inter-
ests involved, that the raw enthusiast
can not be entrusted with the power
of leadership.
Enthusiasm there should be, but it
must be an enthusiasm founded upon
intelligence, knowledge and self con-
troll. 1t required long years of soli-
tude in the land of indian to trans
form the hot-blooded Moses, the
adopted son of Pharoah's daughter,
into the modest Moses whose name
has become a synonym for meekness.
Learned in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians" nevertheless he needed
the solitary, deep-t thinking life of the
shepherd on the hillsides to prepare
him for the great task of leading
out into liberty the slaves of the
Egyptian ruler.
| He came, too, with the conscious
ness of sure victory, because he knew
that his cause was just. But more
than that, he was confident because
he came in the spirit of a strong
moral faith. This emancipation in
which he was about to lead was more
than an economic deliverance depen-
dent upon brute strength, and the
ability Of mere man to exercise
unusual power He had back of him
the Omnipotent God of Abraham, of
Isaac and Of Jacob, the forefathers
of the afflicted Israelites.
The qualities that were so con-
spicious in Moses must be found in
the modern leader. He must be of
the people, for he must understand
their needs. He must have had an ex-
perience which sobored him, so that
he is familiar with the deeper, truer
/ things Of life. He must depend not
so much upon his speech as upon
| his character. He must have the
power which can come alone through
the consciousness that his cause is
| just, and that back of him, too, as
He was back of Moses, stands the
God Of the common people, Who is
saying through him: LET my people

Antitrust Suits
Blasted By A. F.
Hot Convention Declaration
Says. Fantastic. Attack
Backed By Mdlice"
By n. B. of O. P. Delegates to the
A. F. of L. Convention

By n. B. of o. P. Delegates to the
A. F. of L. Convention
New Orleans (ILNS).-If Thurman
Arnold, Assistant Attorney General in
charge Of the Department Of Justices
antitrust prosecutions of labor
unions, had been sitting on the side
lines at the American Federation of
Labor convention here he would have
heard one of the most blasting at
tacks ever made by the Federation
on New Deal official.
In a bristling resolution, the con-
vention declared the antitrust suits
inspired by "malice," based on "fan-
tastic economic theories" and "the
most vicious attack" ever made on
organized labor.
"No power or force, intent upon
destroying labor's rights, could have
devised a more destructive weapon
with which to accomplish its end than
the revival of antitrust law prosecu-
tions against labor unions" the con-
vention held.
Suits Called "PersOnal"
"TheSe are not isolated prosecu-
tions of alleged isolated violations Of
the law" the convention further said.
"The prosecutions are a course of ac-
tion planned to fit in with the per-
sonal views of the head of the anti
trust division Of the Department of
Justice as to what constitutes proper
labor-union activities in relation to in
terstate commerce"
The convention declared that the
union activities which Arnold seeks
to prohibit are designed to prevent
sweat shop labor, reduce unemploy-
ment and eliminate company unions.
Satisfaction was expressed that the
Arnold attack has to a considerable
degree been halted by the courts and
the assertion was made that labor
can see ''no other reason for the pros
ecution than that of malice toward
A. F. of l.. affliates.'
Halt to Arnold Asked
The convention warned unions
against consent DEGREES, contended the
antitrust laws were never intended
to apply to labor unions and said:
ave condemn most vigorously the
unwarranted course pursued by the
present Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice towards or
ganized labor and the fundamentals
upon which it is founded. We must
demand from those occupying higher
positions than the person in charge
Of the Antitrust Division that they
curb these unwarranted and destruc-
tive activities against organized la
bor"
The declaration was approved with
roar of applause.

UNION BENEFITS IMPORTANT

New Orleans.-Importance of sick,
death, disability and other benefits
paid by trade unions was stressed in
declaration by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor convention here.
Pointing \out that cash benefits prob
ably exceeding 43 million dollars are
paid annually, the convention said:
"That is important financial assist
ance from the viewpoint of any in
stitution or organization. Only those
officers charged with the responsible
ity of administering benefit payments
can fully appreciate what such bene-
fits mean to our members during
times of trouble"

A SMART 'UN

A school board director, having
ended his investigation into the class
knowledge, smiled at them genially
and said:
"Now it's only fair that l should
give you a turn, children. Can any
one ask me a question that l may
answer it ?"
Presently he heard a voice.
please, zir, know a man who has
two eggs for breakfast every morning.
He doesn't keep hens, zir, he doesn't
steal eggs or buy eggs, zir and nobody
gives them to him. Can you tell me
where he gets them from ?"
The director thought and finally had
to answer: "No, I'm afraid | cannot.
Well, where does he get them from ?"
"Please, zir," said the boy, "he keeps
ducks"

that price levels were likely to re-

the Northern France battle was de-
