WHICH WAY?

while that of the strictly laborinl
element was red. This phenomenon
has come down to us by the power
of habit, from high antiquity.
white, in heather mythology, was
thought to be emblematical of degree
1t was the color used by the gems
families and by the priethood. Very
often a beautiful azure of various
shade accompanied the pure white
Following this habit of the optimateh
and their hierarchy we still imagine
white to be the color of the robes OF
angels, and still make it holy color
All people, ancient or modern, having
a history and priesthood with con-
comitant crafts, have regarded white
as the adumbration of holiness,
of purity, aristocracy. 1t is the
color which BELTS itself to super
stition and to property; therefore the
"gens" or the gentle, who do not work,
who are unsoiled, who eat up the
products of labor, who robe them
chancel, pulpit or patriachal seat, and
who talk of their subjects" whom
they spurn and absorb, are of all 9TH
ers most certain to flaunt the robes of
white and azure and shining purple.
These colors date from dim era of
antiquity, and like they etymon they
were self-suggestive of the antitheses
of sweat and toll and CRIME. They
embellished and decked the bodies of
the washed" and could not go hand
in hand with creatures smoked and
smeared at the furnace and the an
vii. Hence a contempt of labor The
idea of Plato which he copied from
the Pagan religion and which Chris
tianity unfortunately afterwards
copied from him, under the name of
Neo-Platonism was that of white
robes, white wings white banners-a
mysterious power in the clouds, a
home at Mount Olympus, and the
vaulted dome of heaven-and myriads
of slaves and menials in red, brown,
dun and murk who were to plod with
out souls, liberties, honors or rewards,
in the degrading service of keeping
them white, clean-washed and fat
The idea of Aristotle, the practical,
was, that labor itself was pure,
worthy, and the only thing which
could possibly lead men to knowledge
and good; yet even his great mind
could not at that early day discern
a method of Kidding the world of
slaves, although Socrates, a member
of a commune that waved the red
banner, had told them that manual
labor was a virtue
This tradition of colors has hardly
wavered from it's course throughout
the ages except where the people have
at times been in or near control. Then
their colors have been adopted to
some extent and sometimes retained
1t is safe to surmise that color will
play a leading part in the next class
struggle. Insignias will be adopted
by many organizations and they too
will carry with them a meaning. If
one cares to take the time and look
up these organizations insignias and
determine what they stand for he will
be repaid for his trouble, perhaps a
thousand fold.

LEWIS MUST
| REVISE TITLE
OF BOOK
By TRAvERS CLEMENT

Sinclair Lewis will have to revise
his book, ut Can't Happen Here" He
described an involved and difficult
road to American fascism. The Pres
| ident demonstrated last night that the
road can be easy, and almost imper
ceptible. President Roosevelt dis
played a complete disregard of the
American people and their Congress
He showed that he is perfectly will
ing to become Americas dictator.
There is still time to stop this catas-
trophic trend If the American people
will realize the meaning of the fire
side chat. Despite the fact that the
overwhelming majority of the Amer
lean people disagree with the Presi-
dents adventurous drive to war,
Roosevelt's speech made clear that
what he does is outside the realm of
public discussion, that he and the
technicians of the Army and Navy
henceforth will determine America 8
policy.
This trend to dictatorship has now
led to the virtual banning of strikes.
This is the most serious threat yet
made to the rights and liberties of
the American people. Organized
workers cannot accept this ban, which
will deprive them of their basic wea-
pom against reactionary and gouging
employers like Henry Ford.
The American people must make
known to the President in unmistak-
able language that they disapprove
of his efforts to shanghai them into
war and dictatorship. Now is the time
to make clear that we refuse to toll
crate a fireside dictatorship and an
war

If one takes too seriously the testi-

LABOR ON THE MARCH

| These are crisis days for American
democracy; these are likewise crisis
days for organized labor-days when
the pattern of our future is being
drawn, for the organized labor move
ment is in the forefront of those
forces in this country which have
guaranteed and will guarantee the
steady forward march of democracy.
What are the signs which tell US
what is happening and what might
happen? Do they all point in the di-
rection of Fascism, as the prophets
of doom would have It; or do they
strengthen our hope and determine
tion that out of the present we will
forge a stronger and more democratic
future?
Buried by the more dramatic war
news are some recent labor items
which, in essence, are communicates
of battles won on the home front
against Fascism.
NLRB Strengthened
In recent decisions of the Supreme
Court the position of organized labor
has been strengthened both before
the law and the courts and at the
table of collective bargaining. In one
decision, the Phelps-Dodge case, the
Court held that the Wagner Act for
bids an employer to refuse to hire an
applicant for work because of his
membership in union. Discrimina-
in n frif 10 hue s11o In a
same category as discrimination in
The NLRB has the au-
thority to order an employer to hire
workers who have been refused en-
ployment because of membership in
a union, and to require the employer
to pay back-pay from the time such
workers were refused employment.
This strengthens the drive of organ
lied labor to recruit members. 1t
becomes advantageous for workers
to belong to organized unions and
thus receive the full protection of the
Wagner Act.
In another decision, the Pittsburgh
Plate case, the Court decided that the
NLRB has the full power to determine
that employees of all plants of sim
gle employer throughout the country
constitute the unit of collective bar
gaining for that employer. And this
decision of the NLRB would stand de-
spite the fact that the majority of
the employees in a single plant of
such a company might want to form
a unit of bargaining of their own.
This Supreme Court decision estab-
Iished the power of the NLRB to de-
