free trade unions can function best
only under a government which is
controlled by democratic principles.
"When the Eighth international
Trades Union Congress met in Zurich,
Switzerland, on July 9Th Of this year,
it was confronted both by changes in
membership and also the necessity of
taking some appropriate action to
meet the changes which were going on
in many different countries.
"While cordial welcome was ex-
tended to the delegates from new
centers of the United States and New
Zealand, it had to say farewell to

He protested particularly against a
reduction which he said had been
made in the British-American trade
agreement in the duty on pottery i'm
ports Referring to the fact that con-
cessions granted one country under
trade agreements are extended auto
matically to others, he said products
of low-wage Japanese labor should
not be allowed to compete with goods
made by Americans.
Rep. A. Willis Robertson (D) of
Virginia asked whether it is not a
fact that under $4,000 worth of Jap
anese pottery has come in under the
reduced duties. Mr.. Duffy agreed, but
said that is because of the war stu
alton, and he added: "We were just
lucky"
Joseph Mayeur of Columbus, presi-
dent of the Window Glass Cutters
league also spoke in opposition to con,
tinuing the program.
Howard l.. Young, chairman Of the
tariff committee of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, pleaded
against continuing the trade agree
ments act in it's present form.
AS safeguards against the "chaotit
future" in prospect as a result of thu
war, he said, congress should require
that the trade pacts be subject to sen
ate ratification or rejection.
1t was necessary to delay the open
ing of the Executive Boards annua

President Duffy was called to Wash
ington for the hearing.

PLIGHT OF HOMELESS
AND DESTITUTE MEN

Washington, d. C. (AFLWNS).-
Despite Government assistance to the
INDECENT aged, there still exists con-
siderable number of adults in every
center of population who are depend
ent on private charity for their sub
sistence.
This fact is illustrated by the cam
paign started here by the Central
Union Mission to raise funds for the
construction Of an addition to provide
more beds for homeless men. Authori.
ties of the Mission revealed the in
adequacy of their present quarters
with the statement that from eighty
to one hundred men, destitute anC
without homes, were sleeping in the
pews of the chapel.

labor and sweatshop conditions sap
ped the strength of our youth and
depressed the American standard of
living. To those who survived the
hazards of industry but could not
shake off the shackles of poverty, the
poorhouse beckoned when their days
of usefulness ended. Anyone who
dared to join union could be fired on
the spot by an angry boss.
''Today, through the tireless efforts

the American worker has been eman-
cipated. 1t took many bitter years
Of suffering, strikes and agitation be-

took the massed strength of organized
workers to force from the grudging
hands Of employers a scale of wages
justified by work performed and a
work week justified by the require
ments of health. 1t took many weary
years of campaigning before Congress
and the State Legislatures finally
adopted protective laws for labor.
"Now the American worker at last
enjoys a measure of social security

him insurance against industrial ac-

ganized workers in the oppressed in

and various forms Of Government as

he joins a union. The law now pro-
tects his right to join the union Of his

Ma Joad, who battled to hold her

cal tree indigenous to the East In.

kapok is widely used as q stufing
material for nfe-saving equipment,
pillows, mattresses and upholstered
furniture. Several other tropical
fibers have qualities which make
them suitable for use in life pre-

this country imported 9,379 tons Of
kapok, about one-third Of the world
output.
Hides are listed as critical ma

heavy type hides used for sole leath-
er, the Munitions Board sees little
likelihood Of a wartime shortage in
our hide supply. The domestic in
dustry Is q large one, and substi-
tutes, In pinch, are available. As
the horse and mule, in war, give
way to motor transportation, armies
need less leather for harness and
other animal transport equipment.
Soldiers still need stout shoes, So
in wartime planning, provision must
be made for adequate supplies OF
leather.
