BUY UNION FOR CHRISTMAS.

What would be more appropriate
than to dedicate the holiday shopping
season to the great cause of the union
label? 1t would be most appropriate
because by urging Christmas shoppers
to buy only union-made gifts they are
also buying goods that are made in our
own factories. In addition, this indi-
rect boycott of foreign-made goods
will create more jobs for our own
citizens. If all Christmas presents
that will be purchased in 1910 were
made in America, employment would
be increased and likewise taxation for
relief purposes would be reduced to a
minimum NJ Ornburn.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS
URGE EXTENSION OF
WACE-HOUR RULING

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Exten-
sion of the wage-hour law to large
scale agricultural operations was
urged by Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins and Col. Philip B. Fleming
administrator of the wage-hour law
in appearing before the special House
committee investigating the problem
of migrating workers.
Secretary Perkins and Colonel Flem-
ing criticized the exemption from fed
eral labor laws, including the wage
hour law, of workers in agricultural
industries such as food processing
canning and packing. Miss Perkins
urged that these workers be brought
under the National Labor Relations
Act as well as the Fair Labor Stand
ards (wage-hour) Act.
The Secretary of Labor suggested
that the federal government condition
it's agricultural benefit payments to
compliance with definite labor stand
ards, as in the case of sugar benefit
payments. She said that the plight
Of migrants is worse than that of any
other group of American citizens, and
recommended increased federal-state
cooperation to meet the problem.
Colonel Fleming proposed Is to 80
cents an hour as a possible minimum
farm wage. He said he believed it
possible to devise an Enthusiastically
practical plan whereby farm workers
would be brought under the wage-hour
act, but he conceded that any hour
limitations would have to be extremely
flexible. This fiexibility would have
to be SO great, he continued, that "it
would in all likelihood tend to neu-
tralize a large part of the benefit to
labor"
Both witnesses emphasized that, in
connection with actual farming OPP
erations, they referred only to large,
industrial corporation-ty farms en-
ploying many workers.

Opportunities for employment made
by the defense program will not solve
the problem Of discrimination against
older workers but it will be productive
of good, by showing the folly of such
discrimination. What is needed, as
shown by studies made during recent

state program of educational, govern
ment and trade union action to deal
with the problem, which has become of
increasing seriousness in the depres-

DEFENSE PROGRAM
MAKING MORE JOBS

New York City (ILNS) The ma
tional defense program will result dl-
rectly in the employment of an addi-
tional 1925 workers by June |,
1941, the National Industrial Confer
ence Board predicts. The forecast was
made on the basis of orders awarded
up to November |, 1910.
Defense work will employ approx
imately 100000 persons next June,
of which 2,449,000 will be engaged in
directly, the board said.
At the same time the board esti-
mated unemployment in all industries
dropped to 6,653,00o persons in Oc-
tober, or $4,000 fewer than in Sep
tember From August to September
unemployment declined 100000.
The board calculated that current
total unemployment should drop to
4,4O4,000 by next June. Allowance
was made for entrance into the labor
supply of about 100000 young workers.
The Conference Board is a research
organization supported largely by cor
porations.

happiness is through destruction of
labor unions which they deem an OBJ
stacle in the progress of the revolu-
tion they seek to bring about in the
United States.
Labor organizations-the rank and
filers you hear so much about must
fearlessly face this problem. This
column has told you and will repeat it
for emphasis: Unions must clean
house. They must throw out the trou-
blemakers who work under cover ev-
cry hour Of the day and night. They
must make a complete purge from
their ranks of the Communists, the
Nazis and the Fascists. Many have
illegally gained membership but can
legally be thrown out on their necks.
One good old unionist, noted for his
usual placidity and gentleness, in a
recent meeting expressed himself with
some encouraging emphasis. Debate
had waxed warm and when member
suggested that if they found Red in
their ranks they would escort him to
the open door and kick him out, the
elder member arose and shouted: "No,
we won't. Well shut the door and
kick him through it."
Not advocating violence, we would
suggest that perhaps the elder brother
had the right idea. We have to pro-
tect our democracy, our liberty and
our homes. We can't do it by ap-
peasement policies either in govern
ment or in dealing with propagandists
of destruction in our unions.-G. E. B.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

$4,000 different kinds of jobs to choose
from.
Bell refuses to blame the schools
alone for this deficiency; he puts the
blame on the community as a whole
While he suggests that the school may
well be the logical center for voca-
tional guidance, education and even
placement, Bell believes the commu-
nifty itself must act comparatively on
the task of developing such program.
To explore this need and outline a
model system, the Youth Commission
and the Employment Service Division
selected for study four cities, ST.
Louis, Baltimore, Providence, and Dali
las, and four rural areas in Missouri
and Maryland. To make it commu-
nifty project and correlate diverse ele-
ments of the population, council was
formed, representing the schools, local
employment offices, industry, organ
lied labor, social workers, service
clubs, the church, and groups of
young people.
The council once selected, the next
step was survey of youth unemploy-
ment on the one hand and of available
jobs on the other, accompanied by a
continuous campaign of publicity
These eighteen-month studies in
each of four key areas serve to illus
trate Bells textbook for other COM
munities seeking to lay the founda-
tions of such a system. The book ana
lyzes the Research Basis of a Pro-
gram-the need of knowing popula-
tion and industrial changes taking
place in the community, the occupa-
tions offering jobs in the community
area, and the needs and nature of the
youth seeking jobs.

Adventures in Human Engineer
ing" is what Howard M. Bell might
have called his new book, published by
the American Youth Commission of
the American Council on Education.
He uses that provocative phrase in
summing up this volume. Actually he
has named it Matching Youth and
Jobs"
This more descriptive title covers a
report on an illuminating and con-
structive adventure" in vocational
guidance, vocational preparation and
jobs placement. 1t reflects the find
ings of joint fact-fnding and dem
onstration project by the Youth Com
mission and the Employment Service
Division of the Social Security Board.
The object of the project was to check
up further on the occupational and
educational needs of American youth,
and to demonstrate methods of meet
ing those needs.
That these needs are great is graph
ically brought out in this book. There
are nearly 100000 young people be-
tween the ages of fifteen and twenty
four out of work and out of school to-
day. The commission finds the ma
jority of them have no definite job
training or experience. Every year
1,75O,O0O more finish or leave school
and start job-hunting
The Youth Commissions evidence
seems to show that, of the 100000
out-of-school jobless and of American
youth in general, less than one in four
have had any practical help in finding
out what work fits them best or in ade-
quate education for work, let alone
any organized aid in finding jobs.
And yet all these young people have

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1910.
HE SAID SOMETHING

Members of the International Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers recently
won 48-hour strike in 120 electrical
supply houses in New York City Sub
stantial gains were made, including a
10 per cent pay increase.
Samuel Dobbins of the union praised
the attitude of the employers during
the negotiations which settled the
strike but said;
'This strike could have been averted
if the employers association had
agreed to negotiate when we requested
it 90 days ago. Considerable labor diff
fculty is caused not by any funda-
mental differences between employers
and employees but by an unreasonable
refusal to bargain collectively"
Mr.. Dobbins did not exaggerate.
Considerable, in fact, much, labor
trouble is due to the employers bull
headed refusal to sit down and talk
things over with the union. 1t might
be thought that in this day and age
that that sort of attitude had largely
disappeared but newspaper dispatches
frequently testify to the contrary.
When will the employers learn?

The Cherry
l" Where with our
rec Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Sometimes when repeated discour-
agements come we are likely to reach
the conclusion that we are slipping;
that the human race is making no
progress and that danger turks just
around the corner-any corner.
We think of progress as marching
forward, helping the race out of the
jungle of cruel, inhuman treatment.
Then we ponder the current shocking
examples of mans inhumanity to man.
Next, we look backward and con-
clude that the race has made tremen-
dous strides in that effort. Looking
about again we see the imminent peril
of long plunge into the black abyss
of reaction. We can foresee that
would bring about once more the dark
ages, resurgence that would take us
back into barbarism, into savagery
and utter chaos.
This brings us to the recurring ques-
tion of what we should be doing about
it. There is one answer, an over
whelming conclusion-we should be
acting, not always talking. We should
be reasoning and not listening to siren
songs of appeasers.
If we value our freedom-and our
lives are wrapped up in that thought
we must do something. The first step
is to realize what is happening in this
country.
We must become thoroughly awake
to the fact that insidious propaganda
is being peddled to us every day in
newspaper and every hour on the
radio, on the street and in union
meetings.
Tailor-made plans are eased into
the minds Of the public as to what
action should be taken in regard to
the war.
We have seen dismal examples
Of the utter futility of appease-
ment We must realize that there
is no safety in attempting to ap-
pease rattlesnake. You can't
appease a madman bent on mur-
der. 1t just doesn't work.
Appeasement is the first and the in
evitable step toward abject surrender
That is true in our daily lives as we'll
as in the actions of statesmen and
nations.
Let US take a look at the current
daily propaganda. 1t comes as form
of palaver that is intended to be the
most seductive to the masses. 1t is to
the effect that England is getting
along pretty well as things are going;
that we need not provide the English
with anything but supplies that are
bought and paid for in cash on the
barrelhead.
The expression is suggestive. There
is plenty of cash being spread on the
barrelhead in this country. 1t is Com
munist, Nazi and Fascist money and
it is working day and night.
Workers of the United States are
becoming more and more conscious
that all they have gained throughout
the long struggle is in danger of going
up in smokes smoke of bombs and of
the same oppression, same disintegra-
tion and utter ruin Of the labor move
ment in Europe.
The organizations of intelligent
workers are discovering the propa-
gandists in their midst. Some of them,
it is true, are deluded by the fanatics
who think the way to freedom and
