partments concerned with the de-
fense problem ARE working in
closest cooperation and harmony, 4"
and expressed confidence that I'VE
can depend upon the whole-hearted
cooperation of every branch of in
dustry."
In the face of the national mill
tary emergency, Chairman Hinckley
Of the c. A. A. said, his agency "is
not losing sight of the importance
of continued development of civil
aviation in the United States"
Would Cushion Let-Down.
Civil aviation" Mr.. Hinckley
said, will always be great
backlog, not only for the civil avia-
ton industry, but of personnel to
operate the industry and the air
craft which it produces. We are
making plans to the end that when
their world emergency is past we
may be able to cushion the let-down
of military business and ease the
industry through that critical Pc
Rod
1--WE must protect the aviation
interests of the Nation at that time,
but at the present moment we must
subordinate everything else to meet
ing the emergency which we face
today. If we do not, there may not
be any aviation industry to cushion
when the great world crisis does
come to an end"
Assistant Secretary of War john
son, who met with the leaders of the
aviation industry shortly after the
Munich conference of September,
1888, to map the present 6,000-air-
plane program, told the conferees
today that they have done "a grand
job" since that time.
Smaller Makers Welcomed.
I'VE have been handicapped by
lack of funds and other obstacles in
carrying out that program" Mr..
johnson said, but in view of the
present temper of the country, I
think that all will be done that is
necessary. 1 am gratified that the
smaller manufacturers of aircraft
are present. They have not been
playing the part they can play and
are willing to play in our defense
program
Before turning the meeting over
to Brig. Gen. George H. Brett, as
slstant chief of the Army Air Corps,
who presided over the working ses-
sion of the conference, Mr.. johnson
asked that representatives of the
press and all but one representative
OF each company leave the confer
ence room "for reasons which you
will all appreciate"
Although the meeting had been
called for 10:15 am, it was after
II O'Clock before all the preliminaries
had been completed and the con-
ference settled down to work.
Outstanding Figures Remain.
Among those remaining in the
conference room were outstanding
names In aviation-Glenn L. Mar
tin, Leroy Grumman, Giuseppe Bel,
lanca, Lawrence Bell and Sherman
Falrchlld, among the manufactur-
ers; Clarence Chamberlain, now
starting IN the manufacturing field;
E. E. Wilson, president of the engine
firm OF Pratt & Whitney; Guy w.
Vaughan, Curtiss- Wright aircraft
and engine builders, and John H.
Jouett, president of the Aeronauti-
cal Chamber of Commerce.
1t was indicated that one of the
most serious problems before the
conference would be that of in
creasing production of aircraft en-
gines, now held to be a more diff
cult task than increasing airplane
production.

Dutch Resent Flight
OF Queen, Declares

Says inadequate British
Aid Irked People More
Thon Nuzis' Presence
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 20.-Hollanders
resented the absence Of their Queen
and Of adequate British support
more than they did the presence OF
the invading German soldiers, q
Columbia Broadcasting System cor
respondent said yesterday after q
trip through the Netherlands.
"The stolid Dutch we're glum and
angry, but their anger, so gathered,
was mainly directed against the
British for non-support and against
Queen Wilhelmina for her failure to
stay On in the country" said Edwin
Hartrich in q broadcast from Berlin.
Queen Wilhelmina and other
members of the royal family fled
to England shortly after Germany
invaded the Netherlands, and the
government followed them from
The Hague short time later.
"The Germans entered Amsterdam
Wednesday noon," Mr.. Hartrich
said, "and the local members OF
the Dutch Nazi party greeted them
enthusiastically with cigarets, flow
ers and candy. However, this was
not the reaction Of the rest of the
inhabitants.
Mr.. Hartrich said he glimpsed
former Kaiser Wilhelm walking on
the grounds of his exile estate at
Doom and learned the World War
German Emperor "is still living his
normal life, doing his daily dozen
Of wood chopping."
THE ex-Kaiser will probably re-
main unmolested In his Doom cas-
tie, though now protected by Ger
man soldiers instead Of the Dutch
police" the correspondent contin-
ued.

gantlc French concentrations around
Relms and in the Marne River area
German forces concentrated in
Swiss frontier regions yesterday

tanks away from the immediate bor-

a Nazi secret.

1t could not be learned whether they
went where they were needed most,
or whether they merely remained on

UNIONS MAY BAR
RECORDED MUSIC

New York City (ILNS).-M Musician
and stage hand unions are authorized
under an appellate court decision to
employ legal means to block the use
of recorded music as substitute for
an orchestra.
The court reversed a lower court
order and held that members of the
American Federation of Musicians
and the International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees and Nov
ing Picture Machine Operators have
the right to refuse to work for Opera
on Tour, Inc, which uses mechani-
cally reproduced music.
"Unquestionably," said the major
ity opinion, "the plaintiff has the
legal right, if it so desires, to pro-
duce opera with mechanical music in
preference to live musicians, but these
defendant unions would seem to have
an equal right to seek, by lawful and
orderly means, to prevent plaintiff
from using mechanical music, because
the use thereof deprives the members
of employment"

FULL-TIME WORK NEEDED

Living standards for workers de-
pend directly on earnings. A good
daily or weekly wage is important but
is not sufficient; employment for vir-
tually. all the year is necessary if
workers are to earn an adequate
living.
On the volume of workers yearly
earnings depends their ability to buy
back much of what they produce, and
wage earners constitute two-thirds of
all those engaged in gainful work in
the United States.
This is why part-time work and un-
employment must be ended before the
nation can have lasting prosperity
Plenty for all can only be assured by
putting the employable wage earners
to work on full time, at good wages.

PROBLEM OF JOBS
FOR YOUTH
(From a report submitted to White
House conference on Children in
a Democracy

Public attention is concerned with
more than preventing the employ
ment of immature youth too early and
under unsuitable conditions. Even
more acute under conditions of wide
spread unemployment and demanding
immediate and more profound consid-
GRAFTON are the problems of the vo-
cational preparation and guidance of
youth and of providing suitable work
opportunities for those young people
who have left school and are ready
for employment +. Large numbers
have been out of school vainly seek
ing work for years. Every year sees
more added to the hosts. Under
such conditions of extensive unem-
ployment, ambition is destroyed, re-
sentiment is aroused, and anti-social
behavior may result.

N. Y. A. ORCHESTRA
TO BE- FULLY UNION

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) - The
All-American Youth Orchestra of 109
persons being recruited through the
National Youth Administration state
offices for Leopold Stokowski's Latin
American trip next summer, will be
a paid, professional, union organiza-
ton, according to message received
from Stokowski. Proper arrange
ments will be made for those who are
not members of the union, he said.
The orchestra leader advised N. Y.
A. Administrator Aubrey Williams
that he plans to continue the orches-
ira after it's planned two or three
months "good will' tour to South and
Central America, replenishing it
yearly with new youthful talent, and
providing degree of recognition for
the orchestra that may make it al
most musical Olympics."
The 81 state offices of the N. Y. A.
are still receiving application and pre-
liminary additions have already be-
gun in several states to select the best
musicians. Applications will be re-
ceived up to February Is, from young
people, n Y. A. or non-N. Y. A., about
Is to 25 years of age. Many thou
sands of applications have already
been received.

CHANGING LABOR STANDARDS

Labor standards are not stationary
They are influenced by continuously
changing conditions Widespread un-
employment has speeded the move
ment for a shorter work day. The
vital need for adequate purchasing
power in the hands of labor has stim-
ulated the movement for higher
wages. When the danger of speci-
fed industrial poison has been proved,
regulations prohibiting its use have
followed. Thus standards are raised
chiefly as result of scientific adj
vancement, workers efforts, and en-
lightened public opinion.-Mary An
derson, director, Women's Bureau, U.
S. Department of Labor.

HOSPITAL-BUILDINC
PROGRAM IS ASKED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) -Presi-
dent Roosevelt on January 80 asked
Congress for an appropriation of ST.
100000 to $1O,00O,0O0 to build so hos
pitfalls in small communities as an ex-
perimental program to better the ma
tons health.
The Presidents recommendation
was Incorporated in message sent
to Congress on his fifty-eighth birth
day.
The message urged Congress to au-
thorize the program and appropriate
necessary funds for the Public Health
Service to start the plan in the fiscal
year beginning July l.
Roosevelt said he believed that with
aid from the w. P. A. the cost of build
ing and equipping a 1O0-bed hospital
can be kept down to between $150,000
and 100000.
'This means that we could build
80 such hospitals for between $780,
900 and $10,0O0,000," he said. 81 am
confident that even this limited un-
dertaking will bring substantial re-
turns in the saving of lives, rehabili-
tation of workers, and increased
health and vigor of the people"

Trade unionists can do much to
spread information on the notable
achievements of American labor.
They can do it by thoroughly in
forming themselves on labor's achieve
ments and by never losing an oppor-
tunity to tell of them.
They can do it by giving the heart
lest kind of sustained support to the
labor press, which year in and year
out tells the world the story of labor
as no other agency does.
When the story of labor is properly
and adequately presented to the pub
lie, the shortcomings and failures of
labor will be relegated to position
in keeping with their very minor i'm
portance.
This is not to advocate a refusal of
labor to face facts. Labor will best
serve itself and the nation by facing
unpleasant facts, and seeking to oust
wrong-doers and evils that may have
invaded it's ranks.
Sometimes this is hard policy to
follow but it pays in the long run, as
the experience of mankind proves.
Pennsylvania has launched reno
vizing" campaign with the slogan,
"Repaint, Reroof, Remodel"
Jobs for thousands of unemployed
is the aim.
The Job Mobilization Committee, in
charge of the campaign, explains that
renovize is new word meaning to
"modernize, improve or renew"
Under the title, "Renovize - the
new name for more jobs" the COM
mittee says that similar campaign
in Philadelphia in 1888 put $23 100000
in circulation for workers, builders
and merchants. 1t points out that
the campaign now has the benefit of
F. H. A. loans to home owners and
also for repairs and additions to GER
tain commercial buildings.
The Pennsylvania campaign won't
solve the unemployment problem but
it is helpful step, which will put
money in many pockets that have
seen little or none for long time.
Other states might we'll consider
similar campaigns.

36 YEARS OF PROGRESS

group of far-sighted physicians and
laymen organized the association to
combat-through medical science and
education-this country's greatest
killer. There are now approximately
1000 local associations throughout the
United States affiliated with the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association. Your
local organization, the Butler County
tuberculosis and Health Association,
is conducting year-round program
of education against tuberculosis.

Seamen Are Barred
Under Present Setup

"The same problem exists, as yet
unsettled, for the seamen. The Amer
ican Federation of Labor worked with
the seamen's unions in an attempt to
get the same coverage for unemploy-
ment compensation as for old-age in
surance. Because the jurisdiction of
the states over persons plying the
inland waterways is limited and the
status of workers whose work is
partly on the vessel and partly on
shore is so confused, most seamen are
not covered by state unemployment
compensation laws even though their
employment is entirely on inland wa
ters. The deep-sea officers and crews
would in any case be outside the state
jurisdictions. Only federal law can
provide security for maritime en-
ployes.
1.-TWO bills Oh. R. 1858 and H. R.
6534) designed to establish federal
maritime unemployment compensation
system were introduced in this session
of Congress. They failed to pass.
"The American Federation of La
Dor will continue to work for unem-
ployment compensation coverage for
seamen through federal law. Their
inclusion in the old-age benefit pro-
gram is a matter of satisfaction to
labor"

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Organized labor has every reason
to feel proud of it's part in the 1910
celebration of President Roosevelt's s
birthday.
The celebration raised record
breaking fund for fighting infantile
paralysis, one of the worst diseases
that ever afflicted mankind.
From every community in the ma
ton, members of labor organizations
poured in their dimes and dollars to
swell the fund.
In addition, local unions, interna-
tional and national unions, contributed
substantial sums from their treas
uries.
Totals will not be known for some

ance that money contributed by or
ganized labor will be a tremendous

Trade unionists, even comparatively
new members, know that work such
as labor did during the birthday cele-
brataion drive, is an old custom in the
labor movement.
They know that union workers have
been to the forefront of movements
for national betterment since the very
beginning of labor organization in
America.
But does the public realize the ex-
tent of labor's contribution to the
movements that have helped build the
nation?
1t is feared that too often it does not.
The public hears much of the short
comings Of the labor movement

cry organization.
1t hears too little of the great con-
structive work and achievements of
