Green Says Lewis
Vents BeChief

Pittsburgh, Pa.-President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor told the thirty-ninth annual
convention of the Pennsylvania State
Federation of Labor here, that John L.
Lewis, head of the CIO, is consumed
with an ambition to be President of
the United States and is endeavoring
to form third party with himself as
its candidate.
when group Of unions formed the
C1O in 1885, we suspected the move
ment was influenced largely by the de-
sire to gain political control in Amer
ica, that it was more political than eco
nomic," Mr.. Green declared, adding
that he was subsequently "more con-
vinced' of the political motives of the
C1O when Mr.. Lewis took over con-
troll of Labor's Non-Partisan League
and made it the political arm of the
CIO. Sand now he declared for a
third party" Mr.. Green asserted in an
hours address that drew round after
round of applause from the 1900 dele
gates.
"He says the President is no good,
nobody in the Democratic party is any
good. He can't find anbody that meas
ures up so he looks around and says
I'm the man."
Declaring the American Federation
of Labor never would associate with
a third party move, Mr.. Green con-
tinued:
eve members of the Federation are
not denouncing President Roosevelt
as traitor to working men and wom-
en-. Rather, we are appreciative of
the great progress labor has made un-
der him.
"And yet this man, in his supreme
arrongance, has branded the President
a traitor to labor and has predicted
his ignominious defeat. He recently
told the American Youth Conference:
Come on, We'll form a new party
"What for? To nominate him for
President of the United States"
Mr.. Green charged the CIO chief
with full responsibility for the collapse
of peace conferences between the A. F.
of l.. and the CIO and amid cheering
declared that if labor peace is to be
attained there must be "a change in
the leadership of the CIO" or in the
mental attitude" of the present lead
ership.
He pointed out that President Roose-
welt had attempted three times to
bring about a resumption of peace ne
gotiations and asserted that Mr.. Lewis
mad thwarted each move He said an
other similar attempt made "about
two weeks ago" by Representatives of
Catholic, Protestant and Hebrew or
ganizations had failed for the same
reason.

Committee Named
By Labor Secretary
Will Inquire Into Physical
Examinations Of Workers
By Employers

Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
has named a committee to inquire into
the physical examinations of workers,
particularly as related to pre-employ-
ment requirements.
Labor is frankly apprehensive
about pre-employment physical ex-
aminations of workers because it is
viewed as an obstacle in the way of a
worker marketing his services" Sec
retary Perkins said in announcing
the members "Introduced among some
of the larger enterprises twenty
years ago, the practice of requiring job
applicants to undergo physical tests
and meet specific standards has ex-
panded rapidly in recent years.
''The plan is usually urged as a me-
dunn for increasing work efficiency
and reducing accident costs. However,
labor complains that this selective pro-
cess has become so refined that thu
sands of workers well able to perform
their job tasks are screened out from
employment because of relatively
minor physical defects"

problem, the appointment of which

DEPORTATION BILL ATTACKED

Washington, D. Cat a second
hearing on the Ford bill Oh. r. S31O)
to deport any alien sympathetic"
with Communists, the American Civil
Liberties Union placed in the record
it's argument against the measure. In
a memorandum filed with the House
immigration Committee, the union
held that the act would be impossible
of enforcement because nobody is
capable of determining what alien "by
his words or acts" is sympathetic with
Communists. The union also said that
it would affect scores of trade union
leaders in whose union Communists
are found.

LEST WE FORGET
WHO PAID THE DEBT

The whole world bows its head in
sorrow
For each day is Memorial Day.
To the parents whose hearts are
breaking
For their sons who were called away.
Called away to fight for "Old Glory
To land you and | never met.
Sad but true is the story
For the parents alone paid the debt.
How many know of the anguish
To in dreams see a poor shattered
form.
Dying alone in land unknown.
In a land far, far from home.
Without the last kiss of a mother.
Or the loved ones they cannot forget.
But they died bravely died for "Old
Glory"
And their parents are paying the
debt.
They are paying the debt of all
nations.
By grieving for their own born.
But thank God there is one consolation
They will meet on the Judgment morn.
They will meet where no sorrow will
sever
Them from loved ones they cannot
forget.
They will live on in Glory forever
With their beloved parents who paid
the debt.

LoW-Rent Homes
Making Progress
NinetY-One Thousand Will
Be Completed and Rent
ed By June 80

| Washington, D. CA total of about
1000 low-rent homes, or nearly two
thirds Of the 1000 to be provided for
low-income families from the nations
slums under the current nationwide
public housing program, will be COM
pleted or under construction by June
so, report of the United States
Housing Authority pointed out today.
With 1880 new dwellings going
into construction in May and June,
nearly $4,000 homes will have gone
under construction during the first six
months of 1910.
The current national slum-clearance
and low-rent housing program includes
approximately 435 projects in 20S
communities in 35 states, the District
of Columbia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
| Loan contracts and other commit
ments made to the local housing au-
thorities in these communities have
exhausted available USHA loan funds,
and $1,006,900,O00 in requests from
181 communities remain untitled for
lack Of funds.
An amendment to the United Hous-
ing Act now pending in Congress
would authorize additional USHA loan
funds sufficient to virtually double the
current program, USHA Administra-
tor Nathan Straus said today, and
would care for the more urgent slum
clearance needs of the communities
now seeking USHA assistance.
Tu,optx, five IIGuA o;JoI 7,
housing projects now have reached
tenancy status. They will rehouse 49,
307 families and are about so per cent
occupied
To date, 200 of the 435 projects in
the current program have been put
into construction. They will provide
safe and sanitary homes for S0,SS2
low-income families now living in
substandard structures. By the end of
June, 27 additional projects to care
for about $500 additional families will
be under way.
Approximately 5000 dwelling units
will have been completed by June 80,
Mr.. Straus stated today, on the basis
of progress shown and indicated by
the current survey.
An estimated average of 2,3CO fami-
lies, or S,70O persons, will have been
rehoused each month in projects reach
ing completion between January and
June 80, 1910.
A total of 9,7O0 families, or $4,000
persons, have been removed from
Americas slums to safe and sanitary
homes since the first five projects in
the present USHA program were
opened to tenants last July 4.
This total will be increased to about
1900 families, or about $4,000 per-
sons by June 80 Mr. Straus asserted.
The $4,000 USHA-aided dwellings
going into construction during the first
six months of 1910 provide direct en-
ployment at the sites for about GS,2C0
men, the USHA survey shows. Their
wages will amount to about $33,400,-
000 Construction materials will cost
around $43,0CO,OO0.

SUCCESS THROUGH
SERVICE
LAURA GRAY

Eight-year- Mary was an only
child, educated until now by an ador-
ing mother. Going to school for the
first time, Mary was finding life very
hard.
Tears streaming down her dainty
little face, she ran into the house, cry
ing aloud. "Where's my mother?" she
demanded. "I'm never going to school
again.! don't like any one there"
''Hush, DEAR" soothed the school
teacher aunt. "Your mother was
obliged to go away for few days, but
you can tell mel"
The aunt listened to the tale of dis
tress that somebody seemed to grow
less grievous in the telling. She said
little then, but next morning she sug
gested, "Mary, l saw lot Of little
pencil-ends in your desk drawer. If
you gather them up and offered them
to the girls at school to play games
with, they could be kept in this box
and used over and over again-when-
ever it is too wet, as it is today, to
play outside"
Mary's pretty face clouded. She
tossed her black curls. "No! not after
their opening my pencil-box and tax
ing nearly all of my new pencils-and
calling me dog g-in-the-manger because
| wouldn't lend them!" She was on the
point of crying once more.
Here's pad, too, that you hardly
ever use, just the thing for those pen
Gil games" Theaunt ignored Mary's
refusal.
Later she smiled to see that both
pad and pencils were gone.
At noon, Mary tripped into the
house singing in her usual sunny
manner.
"We had grand time, Aunty, with
the pad and pencils. And the girls
made me member of the Playtime
Club, and Pm to choose the games for
tomorrow"
Wise Aunty nodded and smiled,
knowing the little niece was learning
an important lesson and tasting the
joy of contributing something for the
pleasure of her associates.
The family is the first place where
d Silllu SIlOuiu lcdIIl W ADJUST Ill1ilSSlL
to conditions which will benefit others
and to serve and not always be served.
School is the next. Each should pre-
pare the child for life in the world.
Happy is the child who learns the
marvellous truth that by service sue
cess is obtained, that the right to be
useful is the most important right he
has.
Never before had Mary's things been
touched; they had been hers and hers
alone SO she had felt under no OBJ
legation when she went to school to
lend any of her twelve new pencils.
But now through her aunt's wise coun-
sci she experienced the pleasure of
contributing to the good of all.
The world often appears cold and
unappreciative and doesn't seem to
care at all for the individuality of our
precious little ones. But teach service
as an underlying principle in all en-
deavor, and we give our children a
trusty implement for achieving sue
cess. From our own experience, we
should help our sons and daughters to
deal with life as it is. Surely this is
what parents and education are for.

Representative Dies called on John
L. Lewis to weed out Communists
from the ranks Of the CIO. He de-
clared it was the duty of Lewis, "to
bring men like Quill and Joe Curran

Of foreign powers"
Both Michael Quill, head of the CIO

Curran, head of the CIO National
Maritime Union have been described

Dong Dang. A spokesman added
that it was believed the advance
would be completed without serious
difficulties.
Col. ShuitSu MatSumara, the war
