number of plants installed improved
ventilating systems, enclosed some of
the more dangerous operations and
took other precautions.
Carbon disulphide poisoning and
hydrogen sulphide poisoning, another
hazard to viscose rayon workers, both
of which menace workers in some
other industries, illustrate the grow
ing importance of chemicals in the
industrial processes of today. Study
of the industrial poisons to which
workers are exposed, and improve
ment of industrial hygiene and safety,
are plainly major needs in the protec-
ton of millions of workers, the Labor
Department points out.
Another need is the extension of
workmen's compensation laws to give
a measure of protection to occupa-
tional disease victims and their fam
lilies. All except two states have
some sort of workmen's compensa-
tion laws. Of these, however, only %
states provide any coverage at all for
occupational diseases. This is seri-
Gus gap in the protection given by
compensation laws.

Five A. F. L. Unions
Win In Long Strike

Chicago, Ill.--A hard-fought five
week strike by five A. F. of L. unions
at the Western-Austin Company in
Aurora ended in a decisive victory
The -Machinists, Blacksmiths,
Patternmakers, Teamsters and Fire
men and Oilers-won their principal
demands, signed contract and wage
increases of 3 to cents an hour for
$50 employees.
The settlement was also a stunning
defeat for the Fox River Valley Man
ufacturers' Association, an 8open
shop" organization which has been
trying to prevent employers in and
around Aurora from signing agree
ments with any union.

SECURITY BOARD
OK'S MANY NEW
BENEFITS in APRIL

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - Fed
McNutt announced here that 1,150
persons had been added to the old-age
and survivors insurance rolls in April,
bringing the total number of persons
now awarded regular monthly bene-
fits to 62,364. April awards add
$377,516 to the level of monthly pay
ments, bringing it to $1,173,933 a
month.
In reporting these figures to the ad-
ministrator the Social Security Board
noted that the number of claims from
retired workers over 65 years of age
and from their wives past 65 was ex-
ceeding advance estimates by nearly
20 per cent. Claims from widows, or
phan children and other dependents in
the case of the death of the bread
winner were tagging behind estimates.
McNutt noted also that more than
$4,000000 had been paid out during
the first four months of this year in
lump-sum death claims. A total of
13,149 claimants, who were not now
eligible to monthly benefits under the
amended Social Security Act, re-
ceived $1,917,124 upon the death of
insured workers; 1882 claimants re-
ceived $2,148,198 under the old law
as the result of death occurring prior
to January l, 1910.
McNutt said that total claims ap-
proved from January / to April 30,
including monthly benefits and death
benefits under both the original and
amended acts, aggregated more than
100000 or approximately 1000 every
working day.

From everywhere the word comes:
"This is the time to organized" To
which the logical answer is: "Well,
then, go ahead and organized"
If anything is needed today, it is

Communist publications in Great
Britain, if they are permitted to exist
under present rigid government con.
troll, will probably be exceedingly eau
tious about attacking British labor
leaders, as the result of recent libel
suit against the London Daily Worker
Britain's leading Communist news
paper.
The basis of the suit was series OF
defamatory articles published in the
Daily Worker last December attack
ing Sir Walter Citrine, general secre-
tary of the Trades Union Congress
and six of his colleagues on the gen.
eral council of the congress. Damages
to total of 81, 400 were awarded tc
the seven plaintiffs.
Costs were also awarded to the
plaintiffs nd an injunction was
granted restraining the defendant, E
R. Pountney (cited as proprietor
printer and publisher of the Daily
Worker), from publishing these or any
similar libels efiecting upon the per
sonal integrity of Citrine and his col
leagues.
Justice Stable, in his judgment
awarded damages as follows:
Sir Walter Citrine, $500; Johr
Brown, A. Conley, George Hicks, j
Kaylor, 5000 each; Miss Florence Han
cock, G. H. Bagnall, f150 each.
Justice Stable, in his judgment Gas
summarized in the Times Law Re
port), expressed the view that each Of
the articles was defamatory of all the
plaintiffs, except the last article which
did not mention two of them. The
court was asked to infer the fact thai
the articles were not the honest, in
dependent judgment of the writer's, OF
of the defendant, but reflected pol
icy dictated from Moscow, and deliber-
ately intended to achieve an end, and
to achieve it by one means in par
ticular: the end being the cessation
of the resistance of this country to
the attacks of Germany, and the
means being the sowing of distrust in
the minds of organized workers in this
country who had given their support

GAPS IN COMPENSATION LAWS


A recent U. S. Department of Labor
bulletin reveals occupational diseases
in the viscose rayon industry and says
that thousands of workers in the in
dustry are today better protected be-
cause of an inquiry undertaken by the
department two years ago.
The inquiry found that viscose
workers need not be exposed to carbon
disulphide poisoning, major danger
in viscose rayon plants. Protective
measures are possible all along the
line of manufacture, it was proved
Not long after the study was begun,

" Where with our
Tree t1 Little Hstsast We ~s
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
f0undly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

So, this column wasn't the only one
that took sharp issue with Col. Lind
bergh. The columns were almost
unanimous. Only one of note went to
his defense-and that was predictable.
One columnist said that while no
accusations were intended, it remained
strange that every time the colonel
made statement it was just about
what Goering would want him to say.
To put it another way, it was all
very encouraging to the Fifth Column
operatives.
This column intends to cast no as
pensions or doubts on the sincerity of
the colonel.
Nor does it intend to go witch hunt
ing or extend any sympathy what
ever to those who do want to go witch
hunting.
But this column stands by what it
had to say and adds that the colonel
hasn't yet returned to Hitler the Nazi
decoration which was bestowed upon
him.
Have you been listening to Nazi
short wave broadcasts lately? We
don't suggest that as regular enter
tainment. However, it may be worth
a passing note that broadcasters from
Berlin have been saying something
like this: Tomorrow night Herr So
and-so will broadcast message to
his friend Mr.. Ump-te-ump in Iowa
out where the tall corn grows; out
where the west begins"
And such broadcasts as Tomorrow
night Miss So-and-so will sing for her
friend Miss Blank in Michigan a song
entitled Something other"
Now you can make what you
like of that, but it LOOKS LIKE
code messages from Nazi high
command to agents in the United
States.
That's what it looks like Nazi
broadcasters aren't short waving to
the United States for pure entertain
ment and it doesn't seem reasonable
that they are merely passing the time
of day to casual friends on precious
short wave time.
Messages are going in the same
way to both North and South America.
Maybe our government has the code
and maybe the Nazi machine will get
a kick in the pants from F. B. |. on
this end of the line.
We hope so-and isn't that unani-
nous? We hope SO.
Of course some poor souls will say
that the playful Nazis are doing it
all just in the spirit of good clean fun.
Well, if it's true that when the devil
was well, the devil monk was he, it's
true when the devil is at war.
The best thing that has happened
to the United States-or maybe we
ought to say one Of the two best things
is that WE HAVE DISCOVERED
THE FIFTH COLUMN before it had
time to strike a esrious blow.
However, it's good to keep on guard.
If there were guns in Detroit a year
ago, isn't it reasonable to suppose
there are some there now?

ion. The town is a monopoly vir.
tually of G. F.. Lacey, who is its
Oldest citizen, its postmaster, under
taker, green grocer, sawmill owner,
gasoline station attendant and rep
resentative of both telegraph COM
panies.
In spite of these manifold occupa-
tions, Mr.. Lacey reported he had
virtually nothing to do but sit in
the shade of a tree near his gas
pump, maybe look reflectively and
philosophically now and then at his
hearse which is parked nearby.
It so discouraged Warmers that
they gave up the idea of a world
premiere there.
We think they missed a bet.
