FARM WORKERS
BLAME CAL. GROUP

Grand Rapids, Mich. (ILNS).-Ad-
dressing a national conference of So
cial workers here, Carey McWilliams,
head of the California Division Of I'M
migration and Housing, blamed the
Associated Farmers of California for
deliberately producing the conditions
of agricultural workers which were
published in "Grapes of Wrath" He
said:
STANDING squarely in the path of
progress in dealing with the migra-
tory labor in California today is this
organization. Through it's control of
the apparatus of local county govern
ment it has tried to disenfranchise
agricultural workers; to intimidate
migrants SO they dare not apply for
relief; to gain control of administra-
ton or relief in rural areas; intimi-
date teachers, social workers, public
officials, clergymen, any one who en-
deavors to learn the facts and call at
tention to existing conditions.

migrant farmer"

Current Issue of International Labor Review Points Out
Various Serious Problems Facing Youth After War
Unemployment of Youth Viewed as Grave Concern.

Recommendation of 1885 adopted by
the International Labor Conference
that year, may be classified under
four headings: first, adequate infor-
nation and statistics on which to
base an effective policy for the elm
ination of unemployment; second, ad-
justment of the supply of labor to
the demand by systems of education
and training, vocational 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 public works during pc
riods of severe unemployment.
The study surveys the steps which
have been taken in various countries
to carry out the Recommendation of
1885 and finds that its principles have
been widely applied.
Planning for Future Urged
"Most, if not all, of these measures
are quite as important in war time as
in peace time," the report concludes.
"We have to plan for the future, and
if a sound basis is not established
now the end of the war may well find
us unprepared to face the new prob
lens of peace.
"In any case, when that time comes
there will be a severe dislocation
which may be accompanied by serious
unemployment, and which will re-

Long Live Leavenworth

added a never say die" spirit,

high school athletic victory Sat-

Crosby 20 to Is IN q Wildly gym
hair-raiser that included a little
fistic display in the bargain.
Nearly two months ago, I saw
Crosby win its first game from
Leavenworth because Of smart,
heady play by Captain Vic verbyla
Of Crosby in the last minute. ac-
tually felt little sick to see Leav-
enworth lose that one, for they
were outStarted in the final min
ute Of play, with two point lead
which was wiped out on set-up
play engineered by Verbyla who
called a time out to set the stage
for a hoop which tied the game,
and then got one in the overtime
which won the game. Leavenwortiii
thoroughly deserved to win that
game-but they didn't though the
rules would have given them the
game If they had been able to
score the first two points in the
extra period, which was unneces-
sarily played out to its three min
ute duration.
