LABOR DAY
STATEMENT
BY M. ]. LYDEN
President, Ohio State Federation
of Labor

The American Federation of Labor
is the hope of America. AS long as
we have the American Federation of
Labor, democracy in this country will
survive. The first step in the estab-
lishment of relationships in Europe
was the liquidation of the free and
independent Trade Union Movement
and the confiscation of their treas
uries. AS long as the free and indie
pendent Trade Union Movement exists
in this country there can be no die
tatorship.
There are individuals who would
use the distress of the unemployed and
the low-paid workers as a means of
elevating themselves to power, to
bring about revolution and dictator
ship. They would make the unem-
ployed part of their dictatorship army.
| appeal to the unemployed and the
low-paid workers to be on the alert
against any such movement.
Standing ready to help the low-paid
workers are the 100000 members of
the American Federation of Labor.
The officers and the organizers of the
American Federation of Labor are at
their disposal. The American Fedora
tion of Labor is sponsoring legislation
that will create work. 1t is also spon-
soring legislation to improve the social
laws that are already on the statute
books. It's whole energy is utilized in
helping the unemployed and low-paid
workers to improve their economic
conditions.
1t is up to low-paid workers to take
full advantage of the strength and
might of the 100000 members of the
American Federation of Labor. As
long as we have free and independ-
ent Trade Union that can assist them
in solving their problems they have a
friend in need. AS long as we have
the American Federation of Labor
there can be no dictatorship in this
country.

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

From the looks of things it will soon
be time for DEFENSE PARADES.
There is more of the spirit of de-
featism, anti-defense, anti-everything
than is realized by those who don't
have avenues of information about
what is going on around the country.
"Why should we worry" is found in
lots of places. whats all the shout
ing about" is what, in effect, is being
said in too many places.
Too many are doing, either for pay
or for nothing, what they WOULD be
doing if they were paid by Hitler.
That includes folks in the home
towns and folks in the halls of Con-
gress.
Everyone with any sense knows that
can't go on much longer without lot
of the kind of turmoil that the United
States should NOT have to go through.
If there can't be unity for democ-

One trouble is that there isn't just
one "ism"-there are several.
Let's look at some of them.
We have communism of at least two
main currents-Stalin communism and
Trotsky (even though he is dead)
communism lesser deviations.
We have Nazism We have Fas-
cism. We have the Falange move
ment coming out of Spain. We have
an active Japanese propaganda not
travelling under any "ism" name-but
none the less active.

agandas has it's separate aim,

Alley Project Bids
Called September 6

Bids for the supplying of materials
and equipment, to be used in grading
and paving of five alleys as part of the
Work Projects Administration pro-
gram in Hamilton, will be received
September 6, it was announced Satur-
day by William J. Welsh, municipal
purchasing agent.
Total estimated cost of the five i'm
provements will be $30,029, of which
property owners will pay about rs per
cent and w. P. A. will provide the bal
ance. In addition to paving the alley
surfaces, storm sewer installations
will be made to care for the altered
drainage conditions.

thing we know as American de-
mocracy.
Of this - and MORE - there is
abundant proof.
To get at it in definite way, it is
a fact that if TODAY the United
States were to enter active and actual
shooting war, WITHIN "a HOURS
THERE WOULD BE INTERNMENT
CAMPS FULL TO OVERLOOKING.
Labor's AMERICANISM is unques-
toned; that means LABOR HAS A
JOB TO DO-for LABOR ALWAYS
HOLDS THE FRONT LINES FOR
FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY.
Labor has new and all-important
role to play. 1t simply can't be
avoided and nobody wants to avoid it..
But playing that role passively and
playing it actively, with full energy,
are two different things-two horses
not or the same color.
There you are. These are the views
of this writer-and nothing more
than that-but this writer submits
them as demanding consideration and
this writer, moreover, believes them
the views of every labor editor and of
the overwhelming bulk of all labor
worth the name.
But it would be foolish to say that
every labor official shares them, or
that every wage Garner shares them
That's the rub. THERE ARE
FIFTH COLUMNISTS. Not many,
but not many are needed to foul the
whole nest, to spread the confusion of
mind that is the heart of the fifth
column aim.
If this be bowling down rain bar
rel, so be it. But | don't think it is.
Again, the time is at hand for De-
fense Parades.
For a DEMONSTRATION OF
UNITY that will pin back the ears of
those who don't know how to make
up their minds to be AMERICANS in
a time when it is pretty important to
know who is who and why and for
what reasons.
Perhaps Labor Day, with it's great
parades, would be good time per
haps it would be good idea for every
Labor Day Parade to be also a DE-
FENSE PARADE for American de-
mocracy.
It's an idea. It's worth thinking
over. LABOR COULD GIVE THE
WHOLE NATION A LIFT and spir-
itual stimulant that would help knock
over some of those who are holding
back in the traces to see if they can
profiteer out of the desperate needs of
the nation.
FOR AFTER ALL, THIS is A Ma
TION, NOT JUST A LOT OF PEO-
PIE LIVING ON THE SAME CON-
TINENT. To be a nation means
something; TO BE A M E R c A
MEANS THE HIGHEST SOCIAL
IDEAL EVER CONCEIVED BY

else could have played her. She was
the beautiful southern lady to per-
lection, and did not everyday in the
sentimental episodes. Leslie Howard
did well with a more or less weak
role. Hattie Mcdaniel was a success
from start to finish. These are just
few of the sixty or so characters
that help immeasurably in the de-
velopment of an engrossing drama
Many others were excellent, such as
Thomas Mitchell as Gerald O'Hara
Laura Hope Crewes as Aunt Pity

"Gone With the Wind" is de-
cidedly worthwhile screen spectacle
for its artistic effects. The back
ground is picturesque and lovely,
and gruesome and awful. The color
effects seemed to us the best we had
ever seen, in the character makeups,
the landscape and interiors. The
picture went along smoothly with a
rapid moving introduction of char
acters, signatures, and production
staff, all thrown on the screen with
a background of scenes that figured
throughout the action, the old south
of the Atlanta and surrounding To-
Gale; the lush country, the swift
moving streams, the fruit blossoms,
the old plantation homes, and last
hut not least, the notable staircases.
In conclusion we might say Gone

Returning ToNorrnaI
President John H. GOsS of ScOviIIs Observes H-aIty
Signs in SituatiOn-Service Pins to Be Issued 7

Business is starting to return Il.
normal after excessible gains since
last fall, declared John H. Cess
president Of the Scovill Mfg. Co., in
an address at the 26th annual ban
quet of the Scovill Foremen's as
ISOLATION at Temple hall Saturday
night. The gradual slackening is
really a healthy sign if it does not
last too long, Mr.. Goss said, adding
that the gains of last fall came too
fast and excessive inventories were
built up.
Worry No Aid
Worry about national and inter-
national problems will not help, Mr.
GoSS told the foremen. The best
that any man can do, he stated, is
to use his own influence as con-
structively as possible in his own
circles, in his home, among his as
sociates and in his community.
Plans for the issuance of pins and
certificates to veteran Scovill en-
ployes were announced by Mr.. Goss
The program will go into effect
about Aug. 1. Buttons and pins will
be given veterans of 10 years, Is
years, 40 years and SO years of SER
vice with the company.
The invocation was given by Rev.
Francis M. O'Shea, pastor of the
Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception. John Hoben, association
president. introduced the toast
master, Chauncey P. Goss, Sd. The
arrangements committee for the
banquet was headed by William F.
Cleary, chairman.
Use Influence
James Lee Fleetwood, of New
York, told the diners that worry
will never aid any situation. The
answers to grave problems of today
will not come automatically, he said
He urged that all follow Mr.. Goss'
advice to use their influence as con-
Structively as possible.
Those at the head table included
Richard c. Jeter. Arthur Hickox
John Vischer. S. T. Williams, A. G.
