LADIES' GARMENT
WORKERS TO GO
BACK TO A. F. |.

New York City (ILNS).-The pow
erful international Ladies Garment
Workers Union, with 250,000 MEM
bers in the United States and Canada,
will again become an American Fed
Grafton of Labor affiliate.
The unions fortieth anniversary
convention, in session at Carnegie
Hall, voted by $40 to IL to reaffiliate
with the A. F. of L., which it left in
1885 to enter the c. 20. Since No
vember, 1888, the union has been an
independent organization.
Preceding the vote, letter from
William Green was read, promising
concessions on two points asked by
the garment workers. The letter ap
parently opens the way for early re-
instatement in the A. F. of L. of the
international Typographical Union,
which was suspended when it refused
to pay a 1-cent-per-month assessment.
To End Assessment
Green's letter informed the conven-
ton that the A. F. of L. Executive
Council, in session at Washington on
May 13, had voted to recommend abo-
lition of the 1-cent assessment, which
the garment workers and the /. T. U.
charged was fund primarily to fight
the C. 10. The letter also said that
the Executive Council would ask the
New Orleans convention next Novem-
ber to deprive the council of the right
to suspend affiliated unions and give

MAKE 1T WORK!

Government officials, labor execu-
tives, influential persons in many
walks of life have emphasized in re-
cent months that making democracy
work is one way to offset the inf1u-
ence of the relationships.
Undoubtedly, we must make democ-
racy efficient to refute the arguments
of Messrs. Hitler, Mussolini and Sta
lin that democracy, is not fitted to
fast-changing modern life.
Recent events in this country have
not indicated any too efficient working
of democracy.
OF course in any democracy, there
is some lost motion, some lack of CO.
operation.
But there has been too much of this
in the United States since the rise of
the relationships. Lost motion, lack
of cooperation has been apparent in
Congress, in industry and even in the
ranks of labor. If the split in labor
is not evidence of this, what is it?
The situation can be summed up by
saying there has been too much of
the kind of stuff that gave the die
tators one of their best talking points
when they first began their climb to
arbitrary power.

FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1910.
HOURS INCREASE BAD
MEDICINE

Argument that longer work hours
are necessary to forward the national
defense program is given a knockout
blow by the American Federation of
Labor in its latest monthly business
survey.
The federation points out that as
long as the nation has large surplus
labor supply, production can be in
creased without lengthening the work
week 1t says the idle work force in
April was 10,255,0O partly because
our working population has increased
by more than 100000 in the last ten
years and also because there has not
been enough new jobs to create work
for all those laid off by machines"
with our present unemployment,
and with productivity increasing at
the normal rate" the federation adds,
1--WE have work force and plant ca
pacity enough to raise the national
income from the 1889 level of S70,-
OoO,Ooo,ooo to $9o,oeo,ooe,ooO without
increasing prices.
mo increase in work hours is nee
essary. To lengthen hours with TO-
100000 unemployed would be to lose
our gains and preserve our unem-
ployment."
This would seem to effectually dis
pose of the contention that we must
increase hours of work to boost pro-
duction of munitions of war.

If furnishing materials isn't enough
and IF the British feet bases upon
the New World, it seems pretty cer-
tain WE SHALL HAVE TO TAKE
THE NEXT LOGICAL STEPS.
We will then-and perhaps before
then-be where we shall either have
to join in the battle lines, or be our
selves a vanquished people, scorned
by the hard-riding and conscienceless
tyrants.
If we aren't in the war in our own
minds, you can be sure that both Ger
many and taly regard us as their
enemy IN THE WAR.
And we had best be taking ALL
the protective and precautionary
measures that we would be taking if
the President had gone that other
one-tenth of an inch in his declara-
tion of June 10.
1t is true that the President cannot
declare war, but, as we have seen,
nothing on earth can stop him from
stating his recognition of set of
facts, even if that stated recognition
amounts to telling the world that the
United States is all out to help one
side win the war in Europe.
So, WE ARE IN FACT IN THE
WAR, though not yet technically
In this situation TWO dark spots
loom up on our horizon.
One is Soviet Russia; the other is
desperate, ambitious Japan.
If we get into real jam, depend
upon one or the other, or both, to jump
at the most vulnerable point, as they
see it.
The United States, dedicated te
freedom and democracy and con-
stantly improving way OF life, is
caught, irrevocably, in the most awe.
some maelstrom of all time.
We shall have to pay heavlly; WE
probably shall have to fight; we can
not know the outcome.
The American labor movement
can and must play a great and
heroic role in these coming days.
1t will fall short of it's mission anc
it's golden opportunity if it mars its
effort and sullies it's idealism with
personal greeds, shallow ambitions
and schisms that have no meaning In
principle.
l hope these lines may be read by
Mr.. Sidney Hillman, who has beer
given a most important task by the
President. And / hope that there
after he may have a long and earnest
talk with Mr.. John L. Lewis who
thinks peace talks inopportune.-C

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

sent to, but the general council had
shouldered its responsibility as he was
confident the special conference also
would in the hour of national danger.
The conference bore out the expec-
tation of Sir Walter by adopting with
practical unanimity a resolution which
expressed its confidence in the general
council and said:
ssThe conference endorses the ac-
tion of the general council in giving
its full support to the necessary meas
ures that must be taken to protect
our people against these dangers by
organizing the entire resources of the
country and striving to the utmost to
defeat the forces of aggression"
The resolution took note of the de-
termination of organized labor "to
preserve the powers and functions of
the trade unions and insure the main
tenance of the hard-won liberties of
the workers."
The delegates undoubtedly realized
however, that in the very nature OF
events, labor standards and liberties
would be surrendereds, temporarily
at least. But they knew there was
nothing else to do, as defeat by the
totalitarian powers would mean the
complete destruction of everything
gained by more than a hundred years
of labor effort. So they backed the
drastic and sweeping power given the
government to control every resource
of the nation.
Labor's determination to place ev
erything it has at the disposal of the
nation was pictured at the close of the
conference by Ernest Bevin, trade
union leader and new Minister of La
Dor and National Service. Speaking
on a worldwide broadcast, he empha
sized that the entire British people
have put everything aside to defeat

." Where with our
roo Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly. -.

Today the United States is IN THE
WAR.
We have said that before-and it
has been true.
But today it is several degrees
MORE TRUE, if the phrase is per-
missable.
The Presidents speech of June 10
was just about one-tenth of an inch
short of telling Hitler and Mussolini
that the United States is AT WAR
WITH THEM and their devilish, hate
full relationships.
We are bound to furnish the Allies
with every scrap of material aid we
can summon up.
When muzzle-loading fiintlocks were
in use it was often the case that some
loaded the guns, while others fired.
Both were fghting-BOTH WERE
AT WAR.
We are like those who loaded the
guns-AND WE ARE IN THE WAR
actually, though not technically.
We shall do ALL WE CAN Do to
help the Allies win. Which is AS IT
SHOULD BE.
Now the thing that may be tre-
mendousiy important about all this is
that if the Hitler -Mussolini gangsters
win 1--WE hope they don't but 'sIF"-)
then in the flush of their victory,
WE SHALL BE REGARDED AND
TREATED AS AN ENEMY PEOPLE.
That CAN have consequences far
beyond anything we can control!
That's something we had better get
into our minds NOWi
Where may that leave us IF Ger
many and Italy knock out England
and France?
That's the logical question and we
can't duck it for very long.
Britain has said that if England is
invaded and conquered the British
feet will fight on from New World
base.
Add that to our own commitments,
which is that we will supply the Allies
with every material thing we can
muster.

NEW ZEALAND CONTINUES
ANTI-COMMUNIST DRIVE

Wellington, New Zealand.-Follow-

New Zealand government accentuated
it's victory drive by continuing the

Determination of British labor to
back up the armed forces of the ma
ton to the utmost by intensive war
production was reflected at a special
conference of trade union executive
councils called by the general council
of the Trades Union Congress. More
than 1000 delegates attended.
Reports just received in this coun-
try show that the conference faced
the facts, unpleasant as they must
have been and courageously resolved
to "carry on" no matter what the
cost. William Holmes, who presided
as chairman of the Trades Union Con-
gress, minced no words, telling the
delegates the country was in "posi-
tion of deadly danger"
War had never drawn so close to the
British Isles, the narrow sea, the liv-
ing bodies of the fighting men and the
might of the British navy only sep
arating the people at home from the
conflict, Holmes declared. Leaders of
British labor owed to the fighting
forces more than a tribute of words;
they owed solemn pledge to them,
to be redeemed by instant action, that
the workers at home would support
their sacrificial effort by a commen-
surate effort and sacrifice, he added.
Holmes went on to say that in the
workshops and factories, in the fields
and mines, the workers had to work
as they had never worked before. He
was followed by Sir Walter Citrine,
general secretary of the Trades Union
Congress, who emphasized the gravity
of the situation and explained that 1t
had determined the general council in
supporting the far-reaching powers
given the new British government.
They were powers, he said, which
under normal conditions they would
have been extremely reluctant to as

Racketeering Denounced

The convention took official cog
nizance of the demand for Ousting of
racketeers by adoption of resolution
for presentation at the New Orleans
A. F. of L. convention under which
the federation's Executive Council
would have summary power to remove
any union official found guilty of Of
fenses involving moral turpitude or of
using their positions in the labor
movement for personal gains.
"The labor movement in America
will grow in Importance and prestige
SO long as it inspires public confidence
and respect" the convention declared.
cit cannot do so unless it is concerned
with keeping the labor movement
clean and free from the taint of racke-
teering. Officers of unions who adj
minister it's affairs occupy positions
of public trust and responsibility, and
in the discharge of their duties and
in their every act they must be above
suspicion"
Adoption of the resolution for re-
affiliation resulted in an enthusiastic
demonstration of approval by the dele
gates. One delegate snatched ban
ner bearing the A. F. of l.. insignia
from the rostrum and held it high
above the throng while his fellow
workers applauded and sang.
