CONGRESS- CAN PUT THEM TO WORK

JOBS at regular prevailing wages for about mil
lion workers in building trades and allied indus
tries are represented by untitled requests for Gov
ernment loans to finance public low-rent housing
projects now on file with the United States Hous-
ing Authority, the agency says.
The estimated pay roll for these workers would
put approximately $500,OO0,O0O into general cir
culation, it is estimated
These requests totaling S1,0O6, 100000, upon
which the USIlA cannot act until Congress au-
thorizes additional loan funds, have been filed with
the USIA by 1S1 local housing authorities in 81
states
The loans sought would be used to provide safe
and sanitary homes at rentals within their means
for about 100000 lOw-income American families
now living in substandard structures in city, SUI
burban and rural sections.
Legislation is before Congress- to increase by
$500, 100000 the amount which the USHA is au-
thorized to lend for slum clearance and low-rent
housing projects. This would go a long way to-
ward taking care of the untitled requests for loans.
The legislation is supported by organized labor.
1t should pass and at this session.

ruptcy. With only farm work experience, and
home gone, these families move to somewhere in
dilapidated automobiles Because they keep NOV
ing, school attendance at the best would be con-
stantly interrupted 1t is further discouraged by
lack of clothing and shoes, lack of facilities for
cleanliness, difficulties in transportation unwill-
ingness of employers to employ individual wage
earners with the help of children who were con-
sidered cheap labor.
Yet denial of education to the children of these
migrant families adds to the national problem ex-
pense of adult illiterates and condemns group of
citizens to a life of hopeless poverty and under
privilege To protect the children their parents
must somehow find or be provided with some kind
of dependable employment so that the children
may have chance When the children have homes
they can be protected by child labor and school at
tendance laws. Here again we realize the need for
the Federal Child Labor Amendment as the basic
pillar in any plan to assure children fair chance
for development.

LEWIS AND THE NEGRO CONGRESS

(The following is taken from the Congressional
Record of April 30, 1940)
PEP. ROBERT S. ALLEN Cd. Pa. )-I read with
~ amazement and despair that a declaration was
passed and applauded by the Negro Congress
wherein it was stated that if the United States
ever went to war with Soviet Russia they would re-
fuse to defend this country. That is treason That
statement should be repudated by all Negroes who
love this country and who believe in democracy.
No intolerant white man could have hurt our
American Negroes as much as those deluded
members of their own race. The greatest enemies
of our colored minority in the United States are
those who pass such vicious resolutions as that
which l have just read (Applause)
No group in America is doing more to undermine
the rights of Negro population than the leaders
of the Negro Congress who are obviously in the
pay of the Communist Party in America. ZAP
plause.)
John L. Lewis is equally culpable with the au-
thor of that reasonable resolution passed by the
Negro Congress. He openly invited the Negro
Congress to join his Labor Non-Partisan League,
which is the political arm of the CIO. Inferentally
he approves the composition and program OF any
group which he invites to affiliate with the CIO.
There can be no doubt in the mind of anyone that
in this instance Mr.. Lewis has encouraged the
spread of communism.
Much credit must be given to A. Philip Randolph
of New York, head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters, who declined reelection for third
term as president and then resigned from the Con-
gress because it had been financed by the Commun-
ist Party.
White people, as we'll as Negroes, should join in
open condemnation of the Negro Communist Con-
gress it's sponsors and it's reasonable declaration
which referred to in my opening remarks.
Rep. VIM. M. Colmer Cd. Miss )-There are
some very prominent white people in national af-
fairs who, | fear, responsible for stirring up
this turmoil among the Negroes. (Applause) This
Negro Congress is nothing more nor less than a
communistic affair. And certain organizations
who characterize themselves patriotic Ameri-
can institutions are inviting these communistic
Negroes to join them. And | refer to John L.
Lewis specifically.

CHILD LABOR

THE National Child Labor committee has publish
ed a study Children in Strawberries" that will
dispel any comfortable illusions that no longer
have to worry about child labor as problem. The
story of the strawberry pckers of the Mississippi
Valley, discloses family groups of workers outside
the benefit Of any protective legislation, COM
pulsory school attendance laws. Fifty-nine per
cent of the children interviewed between the ages
of 7 and II had never attended school! These mi
gratory families of the Mississippi Valley make
Louisiana their starting point and work their way
northward They are joined by migrant workers
from the North who follow the crop through Hi
nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Usually
only 10 per cent Of the pckers are local. The
whole family must work in order to get employ
ment and earn enough for bare necessities. They
live as they can with unimaginable living and
sanitary conditions.
The average annual income for 81 families was
S474 or SIT per person Those who were all year
migrants usually ended in cotton picking for the
fall Most of the migratory families are former
farm tenants, share croppers and the like who
failed to make expenses. There are innumerable
misfortunes ready to force farmers into bank

DUMBNESS BROUGHT NEW LAWS

A IF M. LANDON Che ran for President once)
told meeting of railroad officials at Topeka
that the "real authors Of the Securities and EX-
change Commission were not the New Dealers, but
the crooked banking houses which looted railroads.

they made the commission necessary"
OF course Mr.. Landon is right Wall Street
spokesmen to the contrary. He might have gone
even farther and said that much of the legislation
passed in recent years was not the work of the
New Dealers but of dishonest, avaracious and
short rt-sghted business interest of many kinds. If
the attitude of business had been different, such
laws as the National Labor Relations Act and the
Fair Wage Standards Act would not have been
There would have been no occasion for
passing these last two laws if there had been uni

HAT WAGE MINIMUM APPROVED

Washington, D. c. QLNS).-Admin-
istrator Philip B. Fleming of the Fair
Labor Standards Act has approved

dustry which officials estimated would
increase the hourly pay rates of about
$500 hat workers. The order will be

est possible under the act, to employees

vINDICATION

Our nation has grown strong, spirit
ually and materially, because it has
been founded upon the great moral
principles of tolerance, justice and
fair play to all. Our national existence
is successful vindicaticn of the idea
that, in an asylum Of freedom, barriers
of race, of religion, of language and
of other digerences, which breed an
tagonism and conflict elsewhere, dis
appear in an effort fir the common
good. If our nation is not to decline
and decay, we must not permit these
barriers to re-appear in our national
life.-Cordell Hull, Secretary of State.

SILVER CUP" BREAD MAKERS
SIGN UNION AGREEMENT

Chicago 0LNS).-A union shop
agreement with the Gordon Baking
Company, the first in the country, has
been signed by Factory Bakers Union,
Local No. 100, Bakery and Confec-
tionery workers international Union,
A. F. of L., says an announcement by
Joseph Schmidt, corresponding secre-
tary of the international union.

cents per hour, the 40-hour week, with
overtime pay at the time and one-half
rate after 8 hours of work in any one
day, and two weeks some 200 en-
ployes. Pay boosts amounted to to
7 cents an hour.

WHAT NEXT?

Announcement of a new non
explosive cOal-mining process that
may save many miners lives has
been made by the du Pont Com
pany--a manufacturer of eXplO-
sives. A tube placed in a hole
drilled in the coal vein expands
when oil under high pressure is
pumped into it; thus coal is broken
out of the vein instead of being
blasted out by explosives, "great-
ly minimizing" such hazards as
dust explosions and cave-ins, the
company says.

NOT ENCOURAGING

Human effort has been directed to-
wards enterprises which not only fail
to minister to the material needs of la
Dor, but to enterprises which threaten
to destroy the existing means of pro-
duction-not to mention the threat to
human life. The disappearance of un-
employment under these conditions is
not encouraging.-International Labor
Office, Geneva.

Labor is Liberty
For Labor is willing
1t may be that Labor is necessary
Paying the honest price of life, and
of liberal living
But labor is not thing degraded;
nor of inferior calbre-
For it is the creative function; the
formative faculty
Which subdues stubborn units of

To make them serve a human pur-
pose
Driving obdurate forms of iron,
stone, or wood
Into designs worked out by human
mind and will
Whether of colors and fibers, or
highways across the land
Compelling submission of molecules,
and of mountains
To objectives never before encom-
passed
In the whole story of gases, or
metals, or rocks

That is Labor
Which may call for effort of body
and mind
AS stubborn and hard as the metals
it transforms
AS penetrating and elusive as the
gases it controls
EXhausting as the fire it uses to re-
fine the rocks
But these expenses are paid out of
the willing purpose
Of liberal Labor, paying honest cost
of human forward march
Meaning freewill offerings of sacri-
fees
Rather than toll, mere work, or
drudgery.
So, Labor must be free!
So, men of Labor always fought for
Freedom
That is why increasingly they de-
mand freedom
Freedom of personal life, for the
pursuit of happiness
Freedom of thought, and of speech
And the mutual sharing of common

Freedom of faith, of prayer, and of

Freedom of movement, to come and

DANGER IN DISUNITY

INTERNAL warfare weakens organized labor and
tends to arouse public hostility.
1t makes for a state of the public mind that will
approve of repressive legislation and other anti
union action.
In plain words internal warfare, is playing with

keep the United States in Thy
holy protection; that Thou wilt
feline the hearts of the citizens
cultivate spirit of subOrdina-
ion and obedience to government;
o entertain a brotherly affection
and love for one another and for

in a few days, Jesus stood in the
temple, there facing His bitter enc
mics and replying to their attacks
IN words such az no man ever
spake. He brought them face to
face with the very essence of sin,
which is the rejection of Christ.
Their own words condemned them,
but when they should have repented,
they became embittered and hard
ened in their sin. Let no one who
reads these lines follow their ex-
ample, but if the Holy Spirit brings
conviction, turn to Him in repent
ance and faith.
Every Sunday School lesson is of
great importance, but possibly no
lesson we shall ever have to teach
will be as important as this one,
for it deals very plainly with the
awful peril of rejecting Christ. Eter-
nal destiny depends upon the choices
made in response to this lesson.
Let every one of us study it and
teach it with solemn earnestness.

Words wv. 1882.
All church members, who have

smoothly spoken words of accept
ance and devotion to Christ which
then have not been lived out in the
daily walk, may see themselves pic
tured in the son who courteously
and glibly assured his father that
he could depend on him, and then
promptly went his own way. They
will see that they need to repent
and substitute real heart-moving
and life-changing action for their
words, lest the harlots and publicanS

Ill. Selfish UnbeIief Results in
Christine lection wv. 33-4D.
This parable clearly relates to the
Israelites who had rejected the
prophets sent to them by God and
who were now about to kill His
Son. The heartbreaking story of Is
raels unbelief and rejection of
Christ and the judgment which has
been upon them all the years since
then, is not something over which
we should gloat, but rather some
thing which should move us to tears
and prayer for our Jewish friends.
After all, are we any better than
they? Are not the appalling ma
1ority of Gentiles walking in that
same road of selfish unbelief which
leads inevitably to the rejection of
Christ?
