Nations Must Pldn Now To Deal With
Unemployment Of Youth At War End

Washington, D. C.-Unemployment
of youthful wage earners after the
war will be a problem of the utmost
seriousness, demanding vigorous ef-
forts to solve, it is emphasized in the
leading article in the current issue of
the International Labor Review, pub
lished by the International Labor Of
flee, Geneva, Switzerland.
The article is a study of the expert
ences of various nations in combating
unemployment as a matter of grave
concern in many countries, including
the United States.
Main causes of unemployment
among young persons are seen by the
International Labor Review article as
first, the temporary lack of demand
for labor in times Of depression which
demoralizes youth and deprives them
of skills and training for jobs later
on; second, the "blind alley" character
Of certain jobs which are taken by
young people who are just out OF
school and who are willing to work for
low wages. This last mentioned fac
tor is considered as the more funda.

ALL CARS AND BUSES HEADED IN DIRECTION OF DORA PARK
"One Of Worlds
Darkest Hours"
Says 7. J. Duffy
Former N. B. Of O. P. Head
Addresses Knights Of Co.
lurnbus At Banquet

Declaring this to be one of the
darkest periods in the worlds history,
T. j. Duffy, former president of the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters, stated that force is not the
way out, but we must draw on the
light of reason to clear the way. The
Columbus attorney addressed mem
bers of the Knights of Columbus, Car
roll Council 500 and their friends at a
banquet celebrating the fortieth ami
versary of the Council at the Travellers
Hotel last Monday night.
"Those who love liberty and God
cannot help but feel that there is a
great menace before them," Mr.. Duffy
said. To-day probably is one of the
darkest hours in the worlds history"
Forcefully assailing Hitler, Stain
and Mussolini as ruthless, diabolic
and scheming," Mr.. Duffy asked,
"Why can't we who believe in justice
and freedom be just as fanatical on
our subjects as are those others who
so staunchly support their mad prof.
ect?
"We should make up Our minds that
no one shall be permitted to divide our
people by religious, race or class ha-

the one which must be most vigorously
attacked.
Proposed Remedies
Remedies for the unemployment of
young persons as proposed in the Rec
ommendation of 1885 adopted by the
International Labor Conference that
year, may be classified under four
headings: first, adequate information
and statistics on which to base an ef-
fective policy for the elimination of
unemployment; second, adjustment of
the supply of labor to the demand by
systems Of education and training, vo-
cational guidance and placing; third.
increasing the demand for the labor of
young persons; and fourth, provision
for recreational and social services,
employment centers, and special pub
lie works during periods of severe un-
employment.
Planning For Future Urged
The study surveys the steps which
have been taken in various countries to
carry out the Recommendation of 1885
and finds that it's principles have been
widely applied.

Labor r Will Help
National Defense,
AFLHeod Pledges
Reports To President Thdt
No Shortage Of Skilled
Labor Exists

Washington, D. C.-President Will
liam Green gave his personal assur-
ance to President Roosevelt at White
House conference that the American
Federation of Labor will cooperate
fully with the government in the ma
tional defense program.
Mr.. Green was in Louisville, KY, to
address the convention of the Interna-
tional Association of Theatrical and
Stage Employees, when he was sum-
moned by telephone to the White
House, He made hurried trip to
Washington to keep his. appointxient
with the President.
After his conference with the Pres
ident, Mr.. Green told newspaper re-
porters at the White House:
II gave the President my personal
pledge that the American Federation
of Labor will cooperate in every way
with the Government in making the
defense program a success.
81 told the President there was no
shortage Of skilled labor in this coun-
try. l reported to him that survey
made by the American Federation of
Labor indicated that many thousands
of skilled workers who are members of
trade unions are still unemployed"
Mr.. Green also. suggested to the
President that if the need arises there
are additional thousands of skilled
craftsmen who have retired because Of
age but could be called back to service
in an emergency. He added that the
apprenticeship and vocational train
ing program conducted by organized
labor could turn out a new force of
qualified workers.
In his Louisville address, Mr.. Green
declared organized labor would sup
port any United States movement to
protect Canada from invasion. He
said:
"The AFL stands united with it's
brothers in Canada and is sympathetic
towards them. Their interests are our
interests, their welfare is our welfare
when it comes to defending the Amer
ican Continent and the Monroe Doc
trine.
Mr.. Green challenged recent activity
of Thurman Arnold, of the Department
of Justice who has been seeking in
dictments against several labor unions
for alleged violations of the antitrust

Assured Sport Fans
Boil Come. Track Events
and Fight Cdrd Worth Trip
From Trenton

The sports program at this years
Potters Picnic, celebrating the Golden
Anniversary of the organization
should prove as popular as those in
the past fifteen years.
Fans are assured of real ball game
at three o'clock when Minerva and
Clarksburg meet. Both had excellent
records last year and have been
strengthened for the present season
which both have started.
Word from the West Virginia state
champs camp states that they are
certain of taking home the winners
stakes because they need the extra
money for travelling expenses and have
the team to take it. The club has pur-
chased new uniforms for the game and
are certain of making a hit with pot
ter ball fans.
The Minerva team will play under
the direction Of Ray Grimes, former
Chicago Cub first baseman ard cap
tain. His son is now utility infielder
with the Indians. Larry Maley is the
manager and thanks the committee for
giving his club an opportunity to dis
play the Ohio brand of ball against
that practiced in the sister. state.
Buddy Bucher, well known gridiron
ace will be back of the plate for the
Cronin China club. Grimes will be
seen on first, Huff at second, Spencer,
third; G. Woodward at short, Swart-
soft, ]. Woodward and Larry Maley,
Jr. in the garden. Three pitchers will
be taken to Idora, Scott, Munice and
Maley, with the first named the prob
able starter.
Both mines have their share of stars
and the game should be one Of the
best ever seen at an outing.
The boxing bouts with their all-star
cast should hold everyone until they
are over. Believing the fans would
rather spend less time at the fights
and see the best obtainable, the COM
mittee cut the number Of contests
down to three six-rounders which will
cram plenty of action in little over
an hour. The first battle between
Keith Goodballet and Tony Franc

Sister Ola left for California on the

possible.

surely has it. He chased the prowler

Green s Letter To
uGW's President
Recommendations To Next
AL Convention By Bodrd
Sent BY Green

The text of President William
Green's letter to David Dubinsky,
president of the International La
dies Garment Workers Union, de-
scribing the recent decision of the
Executive Council of the A. F. of
L. to recommend to the next con-
vention replacement of the one
cent per member per month or
ganizational assessment by an in
creased straight per capita tax,
is as follows:
am taking the liberty of sending
you this letter because l learned
through press reports of the address
you delivered at the opening session of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers convention, which is being
held in New York City.
In your address you referred in a
speculative way at least, to the one
cent per month per member assess
ment which all members of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor are required
to pay in addition to the one cent per
month per member per capita tax. You
also referred to the exercise of power
by the Executive Council to suspend
international unions from affiliation
with the American Federation of La
Dor for certain offenses regarded as
violations of the laws, rules and pro-
cedure of the American Federation of
Labor.
Because of your reference to these
matters in the address you delivered
as herein referred to, l deem it both
fitting and proper to advise you that
the Executive Council took action on
these matters short time ago.
At meeting held in the city of
Washington beginning May 13, the
Executive Council decided to recon-
mend to the Sixtieth Annual Conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor, which will be held at New Or
leans beginning Nov. 18, that the one
cent per month per member assess
ment be discontinued.
The Executive Council further de-
cided to recommend that the per capita
tax paid by international unions be in
creased in an amount sufficient to pro-
vide revenue income which would be
equal to the one cent per month per
member per capita tax and the one
cent per month per member assess
ment now being received by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, for the pur-
pose Of meeting administrative ex-
penses and for the purpose of carrying
on campaign for organization among
the unorganized workers of the nation.
This would mean that the revenue to
the American Federation of Labor
would be placed upon per capita tax
basis instead of, as at present, par
tial per capita tax and partial assess
ment basis.
The Executive Council decided at the
same meeting herein referred to, to
recommend to the Sixtieth Annual
Convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor that all suspensions of
international unions, in the event such
action seems absolutely necessary, be
ordered by majority vote of the dele
gates in attendance at an annual con-
