DEFENSE AND INSECURITY

) WE MOVE fafCher into defenSe development
we find that virtually every trend involves
some degree of insecurity.
Imitation threatens us with lower standards OF
living now and depression later. Defense produc-
tion threatens bankruptcy for small business anC
unemployment for workers in plants that cannot
be converted to defense activities. The habits anC
institutions of peace are giving way to war econ
omy Higher incomes cannot be spent for CON
sumer goods because of scarcities and fear of in
Ihation. AS we look into the future we know We
must return through these processes in inverse
order, and that no one can count upon income OF
investment with certainty.
Wage-earners and all others who belong to the
low-income groups feel that the only provision tC
which they can look with anything like confidence
is insurance guaranteed by the Federal Govern
ment. Upon this foundation we can b"d.
Contributory Federal od-age insurance already
provides for large bloc of our citiZenry. This
can be readily broadened to cover all groups with
public old-age benefit provisions. We need also tC
make cumulative rights interrupted by military
service.
To provide against unemployment our remedies
must be much more drastic. The needs Of the ma
Itional government are the major source of dislo
cations creating new jobs while forcing others tC
be suspended. The job-fnding agency, the United
States Employment Service, must necessarily
IcOVer all the sources of workers and all the jobs
Federalizaton is necessary for effective operation
of the Employment Service and offers a solution
for administration complications growing out OF
dual State-Federal control.
The Defense Administration is relying upon
unemployment compensation to take care of work
Iers unemployed because of the dislocations due tC
defense policies and contracts. The causes ano
conditions of unemployment may be identical
throughout the country, but the relief for work
Iers varies according to the fifty-one formulas in
effect. The result has been unequal and made
Iquate protection after varying waiting periods ano
for varying durations.
For disability, whether permanent or TEN
Iporary--and this is major cause of distress anc
IWant-no provision at all exists except for those
on relief 1t is high time that the insurance
method be applied to this widespread source of in
security, so that joint contributions may provide
both compensation for loss of income and casl
payments for medical and hospital services for the
Ibenefciaries and their families.
Not only would JOINT payments into Fedora
fund for paying all these benefits be a providen
measure, underwriting a large measure Of security
for millions, but the contributions from income
would serve as brake on imitation.
Congress should take early action so that such
a social security system may be built up while
there is yet time

PAINT COMPANY ORDERED TO
DISESTABLlSn COMPANY UNION

Washington, d. c. NLNS) An
other company union has been eX-
posed and faces death, as the result Of
National Labor Relations Board ac-
ton.
Finding that the company had domi-
mated two cmploye organizations,
Peter f. Ward, NLRB trial examiner,
has announced an order directing
Sherwin-Willams Company, big paint
and varnish manufacturer, to dis
establish the Paint, Narnish and
Chemical Workers. Union at the Chi
cago plant and the Paint and Narnish
Employees Federation, Incorporated,
at the Cleveland plant.
The trial examiner found that at
both plants the two organizations
were the outgrowth of four previous
company-domjuated organizations, or
igmated by the company during 1888.
He also found that the contracts
entered into by The company with the
two organizations were "a means
whereby the raspondent has utilized
empioyer-domiuated labor organiza-
tons to Illustrate self-organzation
and to defeat collective bargaining by
its employees and directed that the
company cease giving effect to the
contracts or any renewals.
The NLRB issued a complaint
against the company last May, upon
charges filed by the Brotherhood Of

WAGE-HOUR PAY BENEFITS

STATISTICS ARE beginning to bear witness tc
- the benefits Of the Fair Labor Standards
(Wage-houI) Act benefits
Figures on wage increases of women in South
Carolina factories give striking testimony to the
effectiveness Of the act. These women received
more than two and onc-third million dollars more
in the year ending June 80, 1910, than in the
previous fiscal year
During the second fiscal year, the basic mini
mum under the act was increased from % to 3.
cents. Early in this period rate of 32l cents
was set for seamless hosiery and cotton, silk and
Iayon textiles, South Cardinals outstanding in
dustles. As a result, per capita wages paid tC
white women in all manufacturing increased from
$589 to $3.50, in textiles from $625 to $696.
These tangible benefits of the Wage-hour law
in one state are typical Of benefits received by
workers throughout the nation, especially in low
wage sections.

FIGHTER FOR DEMOCRACY GONE

IN THE death OF Representative Lee f.. Geyer of
California the nation has lost a progressive
legislator and a courageous fighter against the
iniquitous poll tax, which in eight southern states
is a requirement for voting. This tax has been
rightly described "a blight on democracy" 1t
means that only comparatively small mnorities of
citizens vote and it deprives many thousands of
citizens of any part in the choice Of public officials.
Representative Geyer was sponsor of bill to
abolish the poll tax as a requirement for voting in
Federal elections. The American Federation of
Labor realizing the menace of the poll tax, and on
record as approving the principle that all citizens
regardless Of color race, should be equally en-
titled to the full right of adult suffrage supported
the bill Passage Of this bill or some similar
measure, would spell the doom of the poll tax in
all elections and mark step forward in demo-
cratic progress.

IMAGES ARE NOT prices but compensation
W for free human labor. Although price control
procedure has been set up by law in every country
concerned in the war, only Germany was author
lied TO control wages at the time this was written.
In a free country compensation for human
services must continue to be based on contracts
between those concemed-in the case of wages, by
means Of contract determined by collective bar
gaining. But unless we have effective price con-
troll the very basis Of collective bargaining and
business stability will be disrupted by initiation.
Unless we have effective price control, defense
will cost us billions more in debts than should be
put upon the future and will force us into intoler-
able depression
