BY JACK GUENTHER (United Press Staff COFrespOndent)

(Onlte0 tTeSS Stau COffeSpOnueuGD
 Twenty ambitious young horses moved into the semi-finals of a long series of Kentucky Derby elimina- tions Saturday when they carried their silks into eight different races in four states for the tests which largely will determine whether they will be sent to the pos on May 3.
 Included in the group were hot winter book favorites with national regulations, a hand full of dark horses with fairly good records and few completely unknown optimis- tic long shots. With less than two weeks to go before the blue grass fiesta, each was leveling.
 The program by sections, horses listed with their winter odds:

The other entries, Mettlesome, Air Brigade and Zaca- tine, were not named for the derby. The track was fast.

CONFERENCES CAN
SETTLE DISPUTES

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). = The
experience of the National Defense
Mediation Board to date indicates that
with good faith and good will labor
disputes can be settled around the
table by conference and agreement,
Chairman C. A. Dykstra said here.
"Since the board started to work
March 27," he explained, "this has
been the method it has used in obtain
ing agreements settling the issues in
nearly 80 cases. AS result of these
agreements over 100000 men have
either remained on defense jobs with
out strike or have returned to work.
"The facts speak for themselves.
But | want to emphasize that the is
sues in these cases were settled around
the conference table by agreement and
not by force. AS result, both en-
ployers and employees have gone back
to their defense jobs with a better
understanding of each others prob
lens and a will to put greater effort
and greater speed into the production
of the things this country needs
tanks, guns, planes and ships"

ILLINOIS COLLECTS
WORKERS WAGES

Chicago, Ill. (ILNS) More than
$154,000 in unpaid wages has been
collected for workers through the
Wage Claim Unit of the Division of
Factory Inspection since the Illinois
Wage Payment Law became effective
in July, 1887, State Director of Labor
Martin P. Durkin announced here.
Under the Illinois law, the State
Department of Labor is authorized to
accept, investigate and collect claims
of employees against employers for
unpaid wages amounting to up to $100
with the exception of any wages due
which are based on commissions for
goods sold.
Briefly, Director Durkin explained,
the Wage Payment Law provides that
employers shall pay their workers not
later than five days after discharge
or layoff.
"From July /, 1887, to March 81,
1941, total of 12,864 claims amount
ing to 1862, ,111.62 were filed with the
DIVISION" said Director Durkin. "More
than II 900 of these claims have been
disposed of and wages amounting to
$154,065.52 have been collected and
turned over to 6,667 applicants

Decision On Pamphlet Curb

New York City (ILNS). = The
American Civil Liberties Union hailed
decision by the Federal District
Court in Idaho enjoining the enforce
ment of a Moscow, Idaho, ordinance
requiring a salute to the flag, as
condition for distributing pamphlets.
Judge Charles G. Cavanah held that
the ordinance con it's face strikes at
the foundation of the freedom of the
press by subjecting it to securing
permit and to censorship"
The ordinance, aimed at Jehovah's
Witnesses, was contested by the A. G.
L. U. in a brief signed by Osmond
X. Fraenkel of New York, B. F. Kizer
of Spokane, Wash, and Harve H.
Phipps, of Spokane. Phipps also ap-
peared on behalf of Jehovah's Wit

American Labor Greatest Protection
Against Subversive Forces Within,
AFL Representative Declares
international Representative of A. of L. Says Labor is
Americas Defense Outp0st-Denes That American
Federation of Labor Unions Want Strikes

and likened a strike to the defense
program, leach is sometime the only
choice of free people; each is nec-
essary struggle against oppression, a
struggle to maintain standards"
Comparing the cost of industrial
disputes with the toll from industrial
accidents, Watt declared that injuries
among workers exceed in cash and
human cost any other single threat
to defense production, quoting casual
ties in the United States for 1910 as
$4,000 deaths, $4,000 permanent dis
abilities, and 1,25O,OO0 temporary dis
abilities.
Concluding his case for labor, Watt
declared: "Workers in our nation will
fight to keep our magnificent heritage.
They will fight to keep it free from
unfair privilege or unjust discrimina-
ton. And all the billions spent for
defense will be picayune if, as re-
suit of the effort, American at last
becomes an economic democracy with
mutual respect, confidence and under
standing among men of good will"

Preservation Of Labor's Gains Held
Bulwark of National Defense -
"Ban Strikes is Stupid Robert j. Watt Says Speaking
Before National Conference of Social Work-Stresses
Need of Both Worker and Employer Cooperation

Atlantic City, N. J. (ILNS).-Labor
must not be shackled. The preserva-
tion of it's gains is one of the bull
warks of our national defense.
Labor says this is our democracy,
and this is our struggle to defend it,"
Robert j. Watt, international repre-
sentative, American Federation of La
Dor, speaking before the National
Conference of Social Work on labors
place in period of national emer-
gency, made these assertions and out
lined the rights of labor as follows:
l. 1t is labor's right to defend civil
liberties, to demand that democratic
institutions, including the political,
social and economic machinery func-
tion freely to give to all people a
fuller measure of justice. This is also
the time to expand the rights and re-
sponsibilities of labor organizations
and to give them an ever-increasing
responsibility to keep pace with dem
onstrated capacity.
2. 1t is labor's right and RESPONSE
bility to insist on progress to
strengthen and not to retard the de-
fense program.
Responsible Part Asked
3. 1t is labor's right to be given a
functional, responsible part in the op-
Grafton of the defense program, with
labor representation in all agencies
where policies of vital concern to
wage earners are formed. 1t is labor's
right to ask that employers obey the
law of the land, just as carefully as
they themselves are expected to.
a. 1t is labor's right to ask that its
charter of economic liberty be re-
spected "because our defense of de-
mocracy is a defense of democracy
not of special privilege" 1t is labor's
duty to continue it's effort to give to
more than 120 million Americans a
| fair share in the operation and fruits
of the magnificent economic democ-
racy they can build together.
Gains Must Be Kept
5. 1t is the right and duty of labor
to demand that the administration
keep step with the laws. 1t is labor's
task to keep its gains which consti-
tute the workers bill of rights and to
extend them as rapidly as possible
but no more rapidly than the national
economy permits.
6. 1t is labor's right to insist or
making democracy one of the dearest
and most productive possessions Of
every American working man and
women. eve must make it a price
less possession for all our people"

belief that the problem of fair labor
representation is one of human rela.

Atlantic City, N. J. (ILNS).-Labor
is Americas defense outpost, and it's
greatest protection against subversive
forces within, safeguarding the Amer
lean way of living against the assault
of Nazi piracy, Robert J. Watt, in
ternational representative of the
American Federation of Labor, told
the National Conference of Social
Work, in session here.
Granting no quarter to those who
accuse labor of opportunism in the
present emergency, he read in the
tragedy of Europe lesson for
America.
Because I have seen the conse-
quences of the failure of other nations
to solve their economic and political
problems, / distrust those who would
repeal labor's painfully won gains,"
Watt said, urging that employers
trust their workers as "the loyal, pa
triotic Americans they are" He
promised that "when labor finds one
in it's midst that is not loyal, labor
will be as eager as the employer to
clean house."
Name Calling Decried
"Let us stop name-calling and try
to distinguish between those who are
fighting for fair share of the fruits
of production, and those who are
strife-stimulating agitators, operating
on the basis of the class struggle"
he pleaded.
To employers he detailed what is
due workers in terms of property and
legal rights, asking first that those
who hire recognize the collective rights
Of workers in accordance with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act and help
them to establish free and independent
unions because, he said, "in the long
run free and independent unions are
better for employers than the stooge
outfits some of them concoct.'
"Obey the wage and hour law and
help it succeed by spreading employ
ment," he continued, "and remember
that no man or woman can work eff
ficiently if forced to subsist on less
than thirty cents an hour" He threw
tween six and seven million men and
women willing and able to work if
thew can find Jobs
Urges Labor Partnership
He said he was disturbed at the
governments failure to utilize the
leadership of workers in the present
mobilization and added: "After all, a
voluntary federation Of nearly five mil
lion members should not only offer
more experienced wisdom in mobiliz-
ing labor's resources, but it's leader
ship enjoys the confidence of the work
ers more than business executives or
college professors.
"The unity of the British people,
since the invasion of the low coun-
tries, is due in large part to the con-
fdence created by the full partnership
of management and labor" he de-
clared.
Denying that the American Fedora
tion of Labor unions want strikes,
Watt declared, 'no sensible member
of labor would resort to strike if it
could be avoided without sacrificing
legitimate gains or detectives.
Strikes are dangerous and expen-
sive, causing idleness, loss of wages,
fear and encouragement" he stated
