food and clothing have risen $3.50 and
1920 respectively. This has occurred
in spite of the efforts of the Price
Fixing Commission to maintain nor
NAL price levels.
The price rises hit those not en-
gagged in war industries most serious.
ly as they are maintaining the official
44-hour week and are not receiving
4 the high overtime pay.
Longer hours, price rises and con-
slant war strains have caused the out
break of many strikes. Total strikes
during the Marchh quarter of 1910
numbered ITO and affected $4,000
workers, showing loss of 489, 900
working days. The average strike
lasts about five days, although many
are merely 1-day stoppages for show
of strength
Such strikes as the long and bitter
coal strike of May 1910, however,
cause much disturbance and unem-
ployment. Most of the walkouts have
been in the heavy steel industries and
among the shipyard workers. Griev-
ances generally concern wages, hours
and dilution of skilled crafts.
Strikes do not receive public SYM
pathy, for the arbitration system has
been accepted by both labor and man.
agement but they are not denounced
with such vehemence as defense
strikes in this country. Most of the
strikes are settled by a compromise,
but workers requests that the basic
wage be raised were recently refused.
The power of the federal Arbitra-
ton Court has been extended to intra-
state disputes and its awards have
been made binding on the entire in
dustry instead of merely the company
in which the dispute arose. Whether
these powers will be continued after
the war is impossible to say.
Since arbitration is compulsory,
there is no need for a cooling-off Pc
Rod as advocated by employers In
this country. Private agreements are
sometimes made between company
and union officials but generally the
agreements are handed down by the
Industrial courts and are binding on
both parties. Should the union be
dissatisfied, strike may then be
called in all states except the labor
state Of Queensland, where striking
is Illegal
These strikes do not indicate any
attempt on the part of organized labor
to hinder the war effort. The Off
cial Labor party, whose main support
Is the trade unions, is intellectually
supporting the administrations war

Menzies. Labor holds half the seats

DRIVE TO BEAT
FASCIST BILL IS
ORGANIZED
American Committee for
Protection of Foreign Born
Opens Washington Office to
Fight Hobbs Concentration
Camp Bill.

AS part of its fight against the
Hobbs Concentration Camp Bill, the
American Committee for Protection of
Foreign Born has opened Washing
ton office at Room FOG, 500 F Street,
NV, Washington, d. c., 1t was an
nounced today by Hugh De Lacy, COM
mittee chairman
"The opening of a Washington Of
fice," De Lacy stated, will make it
possible for the American Committee
for Protection of Foreign Born to
keep close watch on the Hobbs Con-
centration Camp Bill and all other
dangerous 'anti-alien' measures and
enable US to properly centralize and
direct opposition nationally against
such measures which menace democ-
racy in our country. The Wash
ington office will be under the direc-
tion of Abner Green, who has been
associated with the work of the Amer
lean Committee for the past six
years"
Mr.. De Lacy called ON all organi-
cations and individuals to communi-
cate Immediately with their congress
men to voice their opposition to the
concentration camp bill. Mr. De Lacy
pointed out that, while the house of
representative Is in recess for the
Easter holidays, those opposed to the
concentration camp proposal have an
opportunity to organize and secure
wide protest against the measure.

They do not want war and they are
determined to make the U. s. better
living place for the average man.
So long as big business continues
to profiteer on war contracts, work

The $40, 100000 of war orders may
be blood money, but they come from
the public treasury and cannot be
pocketed by the plutocracy without
an emphatic protest from the Ameri-
can masses.

A Thread of
Understanding
BY MOLLY PITCHER

Fascism, it is we'll to remember
does not arrive upon the scene full
grown so that one can recognize it in
a glance. Fascism, as we have learned
to abhor it, is not presented to the
people as program and a system.
Fascism, after all, is but symbol
The substance behind that symbol is
the total of many diverse acts. In
deed, since the symbol has acquired
such malodorous fame, the various
aspects of that substance are pre-
sented to the people by other names,
sweeter names.
Huey Long knew that some years
ago. AS the chief prepayment of fas-
cist state in our country, he warned
that when fascism came 1t would be
disguised as anti-fascism and called
democracy.
| 1t may be pointed to remember, at
I this time, that when the nazi program
was first presented to the German
people Gas indeed it has been pre-
scented to them ever since) it was as
a laudable, patriotic movement. The
bitter irony is how closely one can
parallel the movement of events in
our own country with the nazi system
as it unfolded through the years.
Hitler, too, promised his people
peace Consumption to the army came
as surprise and a blow to the inno-
cent. But families consoled them
soled themselves that it was for but
La year that sons and lovers would be
enough to train for defense of the
fatherland Unfortunately, conscrip-
ton was the first step toward actual
war
Hitler promised to rid his country
of communists. Along with commun-
lists, he decimated the ranks of pro-
'gressives, liberals, intellectuals, mill
tant labor leaders and all who dared
raise voice against him. In our own
country, the drive against commun-
lists (read: labor leaders, and mill
tants of every stripe) is well begun.
1t is the necessary condition before
the labor movement can be effectively
smashed and forced-labor army set
up. Such, after all, is the essence
Of the infamous army M-Day Plan,
and the grounds for its execution are
being carefully sown. The vicious at
tacks on labor and sensational strike
news now being Haunted by radio and
press are all part of the movement to
influence public opinion against the
people who toll.
Perhaps the most vicious and uni
versal aspect of fascism is the con-
centration camp. Before the mem
bers of our congress today lies the
Hobbs Concentration Camp Bill de-
signed to incarcerate aliens behind
the barbed-wire of infamy. Think of
it, decent people. And if J. Edgar
Hoover is to decide who the aliens
are, woe be unto all good people alike.
There is still one vital difference
between entrenched fascism and en-
croaching fascism We can still pro-
test; we can still have our say in |
the press Though relatively small |
press); we can still join organizations
fighting for peace and the implement
tation of democracy But it is grow
ing late, later than you think: there
are many bills before congress which
will make 1t crime to advocate Ieace |
and freedom. They're carefully

is a person owing allegiance to gov
eminent and therefore is entitled to its
protection. Upon that legal skeleton.
real citizens build the warm elements
try, loyalty TO her readiness to die for
her or TO live ones life best for her.
American citizenship is challenging.
Being an American citizen gives one
many advantages. such as the right of
participation in representative govern
develop ones powers and to progress
upward. the right of freedom under
law. freedom OF religion, freedom OF
speech, OF assembly. and of the press.
the right Of protection OF life and
property of the family. the right to
vote. and many others.
We are protected from within and
abroad We have our army. merchant
marine. navy and coast guard to pro-
tect our sea coasts. We have our laws
to protect us against criminals. All per-
sons who have committed or have been
said to commit a crime are given a
trial by jury. this way one is punished
if needed TO be. and not punished if
not guilty.
America also has its objections. The
objections are not made by the people.
but by the leaders of other countries.
who think we have too much freedom
of speech. press. religion and personal
liberty They think all of this is a
waste Of money. and are afraid that
the people of their country might be-
come interested in a country with a
democracy. and this would probably
cause them to be without job. III
which they make plenty and do little.
They think that We are wrong in vot-
ING for a leader. because officers elect
ed by popular vote often are influenced
by expert politicians. That may be
true. but il doesn't happen very often.
American citizenship thus has many
more advantages than it has objec-
tons. and the objections we have
found are mostly from other leaders.
and not American citizens.
Here in our own country first grew
representative government under an
agreed upon constitution. Here the
government has operated through Of
ficerS elected by the citizens them
selves.
