ORGANIZATION MEANS
STRENGTH

The philosophy which was originally
in the minds of the founders of the
American Federation of Labor was
that union is much stronger than
one member; a group of unions is pro-
portionately stronger than any unit;
a federation of all labor unions can
speak and act more effectively for
wage earners than can any one of the
isolated groups. The same idea was
in the minds of our forefathers when
they founded the United States Gov
ernment. In union there is strength
was their motto and it is the same
principle upon which the American
Federation of Labor was founded

Pullman Company Forces
Men To Strike For Rights

There's a lot of talk in the papers
about passing law to abolish strikes.
But how can any law prevent strike
when an employer, himself, refuses to
obey the law?
A case in point is the strike forced
upon LOO members of the Brother
hood of Railway Carmen by the Pull
man Standard Car Manufacturing
Company in Michigan City, Ind. AL
though 80 per cent of the employees
signed up with the union, the man
agement refused to meet with its rep
resentatives. A consent election sug-
gested by a Labor Department con-
ciliator was accepted by the union but
rejected by the company. ''The men
had no alternative but to strike" ex
planned President Felix H. Knight, of
the Carmen.

"All concerned with the welfare of
women workers must carry on the
educational campaign necessary to
achieve the goal for fair wages for all
employed women"
Organized labor has always fought
for fair pay for women, knowing that
low wages paid any part of the pop
ulation are a menace to good wage
standards everywhere. Labor can be
depended upon to take the lead in
showing the public the necessity for
supporting a program for improving
wage and working conditions of
women. 1t has accomplished much in
this direction in the past and its rec
ord is assurance that it will continue
the good work.

Camden Light Plant Up
To Voters On April 8th

Camden, Ohio-Camden council, in
session last week, completed approval
of a special election to be held in
Camden on Tuesday, April 8, on the
question of bond issue of Sill, 600
for the construction of a municipal
Camden light and power plant and
system.
The question of municipal plant
has been the main topic before council
for the past year or so. The franchise
of The Dayton Power & Light Com
pany has expired and council declines
to accept the rates offered in the COM
pany's new contract. The election is
and will be the prevailing topic until
the question is decided on April 8.
Camden voters defeated bond is
sue for a combined municipal light,
power and waterworks system about
twenty-one or twenty-five years ago.

Higher Wages Demanded
BY Navy Yard Workers

Washington, d. C.-Delegates from
Metal Trades Councils in Government
Navy Yards, at a conference held in
the A. F. of L. Building here, formu-
lated program for higher wages for
the consideration of Secretary of the
Navy Frank Knox and his associates.
The metal trades workers are dis
satisfied with the failure of the Naval
Wage Board of Review last year to
grant pay increases to skilled me-
chanics in the navy yards. The unions
claim navy yard rates are now lower
than in private industry and should
be raised if the government wishes to
obtain the craftsmen it needs.

PUBLIC HELP VALUABLE

Responsibility for carrying out a
program to raise wage standards of
low-paid women workers devolves not
only on government and industry, but
on labor and the general public as
well, Mary Anderson, director of the
United States Women's Bureau,
pointed out recently
''In the final analysis" Miss Ander-
son said, "the general public must
enact vital role. Socially-minded citi-
zens must and do aid greatly in get
ting labor laws passed and properly
enforced, and oftentimes represent
atives of the public must be arbiters
in labor controversies.

lieve all the fairy stories of all the
wolves of the world. Their sleeps
clothing just can't be false. Oh yeah!
If we are stupid about hemisphere
conditions, we are equally stupid about
domestic conditions.
Instead of a rip-roaring fight to
keep them out, we let them in and
leave it to the FBI to see that the
enemy forces don't blow up too much.
Those who want to get an idea of
how much twisted thinking there is
need only read the "letters to the edi-
tor" column in any newspaper. There
you get mild reflection of what the
enemy agents are trying to make us
think. There you see the smoke screen.
While in Washington there are
members of Congress who once wore
the atmosphere of progressivism, now
using that atmosphere to cloak some
thing that probably is just as bad as
you think it is, whether it's politics or
alien interests that inspires the
speeches and the actions that have
had no sufficiently disgusting equiv
alent since the 1917 World War.
While the great game of fooling
America goes on, it gets more and
more "later than you think" This
simply isn't meant to be light reading.
1t isn't funny, brother, it isn't funny.

Col. Roscoe Turner Urges
100000 Planes In Defense

Oxford, Ohio.-A force of 100000
planes and fliers for the defense of the
United States was advocated by Col.
Roscoe Turner at the eighth annual
Miami University Athletic Association
dinner.
Turner said that with a force of
100000 two-passenger planes that
could quickly be converted into light
bombers, the United States could repel
any attack on this country. He said a
modern light bomber costs $4,000 and
one of the light planes would cost ap-
proximately $4,000.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1941.
THE PICTURE CHANGES

Child labor was validated as a prin-
ciple of American life some twenty
years ago by a five-to-four decision of
the Supreme Court of that day and
time. Days and times have changed
since then.
Advocates of the abolition of child
labor had no recourse at that hour
but to try to get through a Constitu-
tional amendment that would enable
states to outlaw the practice For
twenty years the friends of the chill
dren have broken their hearts on the
hard unfaith of state legislatures who
have refused to ratify the amendment.
1t was the only hope at that time to
get the children out of mine and fac
tory.
Now the picture changes. A new
Supreme Court decision overruling the
former edict makes federal child labor
laws valid and it is likely that new
federal and state legislation will be
adopted and the remaining fragment
of child exploitation will disappear
from American life.
The mills of the gods do grind and
this late action indicates the fineness
of the grist.

In Raebild National Park in Jut-
land, Denmark, there stands an I'M
pressive and inspiring gift from
Americans of Danish birth-the Lin
coin Log Cabin.
Located near the city of Aalborg,
this Danish-American park in the
heather-covered Raebild hills has been
the gathering place of thousands upon
thousands of Danes, particularly on
American holidays such as Lincoln's
birthday and the Fourth of July, since
it's dedication in 1912.
Allied spiritually with America as
a sister democracy, Denmark applied
the principles of democracy to her
own way of life. For that reason there
was tremendous appeal to the Danish
people in the home in which Lincoln
was born. Logs shipped from each
of the 4S states of the Union contrib
uted to the building of the Lincoln
Log Cabin in 1884. 1t serves as a
museum and tells the story of Danish
emigration to America from pioneer
days to recent times. Various relics
of Lincoln's time-a covered wagon
from Utah, Indian costumes and early
American plows-are among the OBJ
jects on display.
According to reports received by the
American Friends of Danish Freedom
and Democracy, 420 Lexington Ave
nue., New York City, visitors to the
Lincoln Log Cabin have increased
since the German invasion of Den
possibly because the democ-
racy-loving Danes have found spir-
itual comfort in this symbol of a free
nation. Certainly this shrine to de-
mocracy grows more significant with
the lengthening of the shadow now
over Denmark, for the Danish people

Vr~~~~~~%~~~~~ ~~~SSeSS'<'~$~~~~<
Let's have another look at the little
matter of propaganda.
1t is visible from almost any point
in the United States in almost any
direction.
But more important is the fact that
so few seem able to see it.
Moreover, Latin America is full of
it. And, strange as it may seem, it is
only few days since we have been
told something of it's volume by some
of the highest officials in the land, in
their testimony on the lend-lease bill.
Here's a bald statement of fact:
One official, whose job is lending u S.
government money, says in private
conversation that no loans will be ap-
proved for Mexico until 1--WE" are sure
which way Mexico would shoot in a
crisis.
And while this situation exists, no.
body does much of anything about it.
Mr.. Nelson Rockefeller maintains
an expensive administration in Wash
ington, with a great corps of helpers,
but he conceives it to be his duty to
talk only to governments.
What is needed is a voice that can
and will speak to PEOPLES. We
don't have it.
We are told that the situation is
dangerous in half dozen Latin Amer
ican countries. The fact is that in most
cases the governments are looking the
right way, but the PEOPLES are
flooded with Nazi propaganda. WE
don't talk to peoples.
Mr.. Rockefeller has what he prob
ably thinks is high-minded attitude
and he sticks to governments.
When the Nazi want to do job in
the United States they don't get close
to Washington. They fan out into
machine that poisons our PEOPLE
with direct hits.
Why not try shots for direct
hits with truth in behalf of de-
mOcracy?
The day cannot be far off when this
pussy-footing will have to stop and
some real work will have to be done
by someone who knows about PEO-
PIE as distinguished from govern
ments and from stocks and bonds and
cooked-up social worker theories.
Perhaps there are some who think
labor has no special stake in that sit
uation. There isn't space enough to
argue that out here; but briefly, labor
is part of the American nation and
it goes where the nation goes AND
HOW.
We are very simple people, after
all, it seems. Simple when it comes
to meeting the realistic, cold and bru-
tai operations of the gangster nations.
It's nice to say these things are none
of our business-and Nazi propaganda
helps us to keep in that frame of mind.
Of course we shall wake up some
day and raise hell about it. Maybe it
will be too late then and maybe not.
But it will at best be lot harder and
more costly to do then what ought to
be under way now.
However, that seems to be the way
OF democracies. Be sucker and be-

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

are as one in their determination to
preserve not only their freedom and
national independence but their con-
stitutional democracy.
This determination has been voiced
by the Danish Prime Minister Staun-
ing in a recent statement before the
Rigsdag on rumors that new (Nazi)
government was to be formed:
"The King, the administration and
the duly elected representatives of the
people make up the triple accord in
our constitution. These three elements
must work together. The constitution
cannot be set aside, but it can be
amended. Amendment requires the
consent not only of the represent
atives of the people but of the people
procedure for anyone who may wish to
see new forms for the life of the Dan
ish State. Denmark is legally con-
stituted society. We are wont to con-
duct ourselves according to law and
legal procedure. And without doubt
this continues to be what the Danish
people wish to do"
Premier Stauning's words have a
familiar ring when we recall the ia
nous lines from Lincoln's Gettysburg
address g. and that government of
the people, by the people, for the
people shall not perish from the
EARTH"
A visible symbol of government by
the people, and of national unity, the
Lincoln Log Cabin set up in the midst
of Denmark assumes a greatly in
creased spiritual significance. Erected
as gesture of friendship, it has be-
come beacon in the temporary black
out of Danish freedom and democracy.
