Collective Bargaining Held Vital Need by President of
American Federation of LabOr-Declares Labor Will
Oppose Breakdown of Present Labor Legislation

Hartford, Conn. (ILNS) - Redou-
bled efforts to organize the morgan
lied under the banner of the American
Federation of Labor were urged by
President William Green of the fed
GRAFTON in addressing the New Eng
land Labor Conference here.
President Green emphasized the ne
cessity of collective bargaining at this
critical time in the nations history
and warned strongly against ''Trojan
Horse" or Fifth Column" activities
He also reiterated declarations that
labor will oppose breaking down of
present labor legislation.
Pointing out that the workers right
to organize and bargain collectively
has been "firmly established as part
of the nations economic and social
policies" Green said that the Virtue
of collective bargaining is reflected in
the fact that orderly processes-the
facts, realities and intelligent pro-
cedure-are substituted for force in
the determination of wages and con-
ditions of employment"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-06-07
Collective Bargaining
Seen As Stabilizer

Certainly at this time," he con-
tinued, "when the nation is con-
fronted with most serious economic,
political, as we'll as national prob
lens, the owners of property, the
management, and the workers ought
to extol the virtues of collective bar
gaining as never before. We should
use this instrumentality as a means
through which industrial strife can
be eliminated. Collective bargaining,
with it's stabilizing influence, should
be extended and practiced as never
before.
"This can be done through the or
ganization of the workers into trades
unions so that proper collective bar
gaining agencies can be established,
through which employer and employe
problems can be dealt with in their
originating stages. This high and
lofty purpose can be accomplished
through frequent meetings of work
ers and management at which time
free, open, and frank discussions of
minor, as well as highly important
industrial problems, can be considered
and acted upon.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-06-07
OHIO TAKES LEAD
INR0ADSIDE PARK
EXPANSION PLAN

Chicago (ILNS).-A state roadside
park system second to none may re-
suit from Ohio's park expansion pro-
gram, under which 55 new roadside
units costing an average of $1,000
each are being added to 200 or more
now operated by the state. In addi-
ton, sites for 100 more roadside parks
are available, and these units will be
established by 1941, according to the
Ohio State Highway Department.
By this expansion program, Ohio is
taking the lead along with Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, Connecticut, Wash
ington, and Oregon in attempting to
provide adequate picnic and camp IA
cilities for their own citizens and vaca-
tioning tourists, the American Public
Works Association says.
The average size of the roadside
parks, located on land either owned
by the state or given to the state for
this purpose, is about one and three
quarters acres, although a few parks
are as large as 10 acres. Each park
has tested we'll or water supply, COW
cred by shelter, and at least two
ovens or freplaces with table for
each. Highway department mainte-
nance employees visit the parks each
day to see that they are kept clean,
and state police patrol the parks at
night.
Labor used in constructing the
parks is supplied by the Work Prof
ects Administration, the National
Youth Administration, and the Civil
ian Conservation Corps.
Dallas J. Dupre, Jr., the highway
departments chief architect, who in
augurated Ohio's roadside park pro-
gram four years ago, said it has been
SO successful that the system has been
studied by officials from many states,
including California and Oregon. He

sons who wish only to stop and eat
lunches.

"There are some who still believe
that our unemployment problem may
be solved by selling goods and arma-
ments to the warning nations in Eu-
rope. / think they are in error. Any
business boom likely to result from
the war abroad will scarcely touch
jobless youth because most of the new
jobs, if any, will not be open to mex
perienced young people"
A national program to aid youth,
Reeves said, should include public
work-study program for all unem-
ployed youth above 16; federal aid to
school districts in depressed areas to
make for equal educational opportun-
tiles; national health program with
adequate services for young people;
organized planning by communities
to make possible vocational training,
guidance and placement and increased
work opportunities for youth, and en-
couragement of youth organizations,
youth-led as well as adult-led, to fos-
ter interest of young people in public,
local and national affairs.

DEFENSE PROGRAM
MUST NOT STOP AID
TO YOUTH, REPORT

Grand Rapids, Mich. (ILNS).-Aid
for children and youth must not be
neglected in the stress of national de-
fense preparations, speakers before
the annual conference of the Ameri-
can Association of Social Workers de-
clared.
Katherine F. Lenroot, chief of the
Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor, said that
activities in behalf of the safety
health, home and education of children
must be financed in ways that would
not interfere with appropriations for
military preparedness.
The United States, she said, was
confronted with two possibilities
Either long war which would compel
it to strengthen 'every human re-
source of bodily health, moral fibre,
social justice and spiritual power" and
to mobilize it's industrial and scien-
tific resources and augment it's mill
tary strength against threats to our
democratic civilization; or quick
German victory greatly increasing
the urgency of these preparedness
measures"
Youth Aid Program Outlined
Come what may, the detectives OF
the nation for it's youth must not be
neglected, she said.

THREAT

At time when the eyes of the world
are focused on tragic events abroad,
it is more than ever necessary that
American social workers should call
attention to problems at home. Diff
cult as it is to keep attention focused
here, we cannot escape the threat to
democratic institutions which lies in
the existence of widespread unemploy-
ment and stark need in our country

the American Association of Social
Workers.
