COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

change is no easy matter, in most
cases.
The situation, the federation de-
clares, can only be met by cooperation
of labor, employers and government
on national basis and also on a COM
munity basis, so that resources can
be pooled and plans developed, and
technical men familiar with an indus
try can make their services reach as
far as possible.
What has already been done in two
cases to prevent defense unemploy-
ment is summarized by the fedora
tion's survey as follows:
"In aluminium, priorities closed
seven plants making aluminium con-
sumner goods near Manitowac, Wis,
and threw 5000 out of work Due to
efforts of the A. F. of L., engineers
from the industry and from defense
agencies made quick study of the
situation and defense contracts were
secured in some plants.
"In silk textiles and hosiery, when
priorities in silk threatened 175,000
Jobs, an industry committee represent
ing management and labor worked
with defense officials to plan combina-
tions of cotton, rayon and nylon and
get manufacturers to release these
necessary substitutes. In these two
cases plants will probably be kept in
operation through this joint action.
Pointing out the need for cooper
ative action and the responsibility
resting on unions, the federation says:
"Great resources of man power and
equipment may be wasted in futile
idleness and lost to the defense pro-
gram unless unions, employers and
government work together for the
shift to defense work. Plants may be
forced out of business; workers may
lose their jobs and their homes. Per-
manent dislocations of industry may
occur; whole communities depending
on a single industry may be practic-
ally wiped out"

not be intended to write about pro-

Rather it will be the effort to write
of those facets and glints that paint
the picture of how people live and
what they think and what they hope

Writer'S Union President
Offers S25 Monthly Prize

Chicago (ILNS). Victor E. Barnes,
president of the A. F. of l.. Chicago
Editorial Association, which has a 90
per cent union shop contract with the
Chicago Herald American for editorial
department workers, has announced a
$25 monthly cash prize to the man or
woman member of the union who con-
tributes most each month to the ad-
vancement of the newspaper.
In announcing the "President's s
Prize" Barnes explained the contribu-
tion may be an outstanding circulation
promotion idea; tip or suggestion
for smash news scoop or picture
series; masterful handling or develop
ment of story; creation of feature
or feature series of unusual interest;
or unique handling of a layout or
illustration problem.

sufficient authority to extend sup-
contracting on wide scale.
(7) Where workers engaged IN 'ne
nrod,ction of non-defense items are
laid off and it is impossible for their
employers to undertake defense con-
tracts due to technical limitations OF
manufacturing facilities, such workers
should be given priority over other
groups of workers not now engaged
in employment in defense industries.
(8) In cases where it is necessary
for workers to transfer due to closing
of plants, seniority status and union
affiliation should be protected ana a

Twelve months of notable progress
We're reviewed by union spokesmen on
the Labor Day just past. Solid gains
in numerical strength, in wage, hour
and working conditions, in legislation,
were cited in summing up labor's
achievements.
Another year is ahead of us before
Labor Day, 1912. In view of present
conditions, it will not be an easy year
Tough problems of many kinds will
have to be met and solved. The best
of leadership and craftsmanship in
union ranks will be needed if labor is
to set a record as good or better, than
in the past twelve months. The help
of every trade unionist viii be re-
quired.
This help can be given by regular
attendance at union meetings, enthus-
iastic cooperation in all union activ-
tiles, by consistent buying of union
label goods and products and in other
ways. If this support is forthcoming,
labor will have another year Of sub
stantial progress, to be recalled with
pride next Labor Day.

learned about housing due to the de.
fense emergency.
There was no official housing agency
Mr.. Straus said, when the federal gov
ernment came into East Hartford to
build 500 homes for defense workers.
Local people, anxious to participate in
this undertaking which affected their
civic life so greatly, formed an unof-
fetal advisory committee By discus
sion and negotiation, this committee,
although it had no power, was able to
effect certain changes in the houses
which made them more compatible
with the special customs and needs
of East Hartford
Recently, Mr.. Straus reported, the
town council established an official
housing authority for the city. APP
pointed as chairman was a member of
the unofficial advisory committee.
Other members would likewise have
found place on the authority had
not state law prevented the appoint
ment of elective or appointive town
office-holders.

Where with eur Little Matchst we tell
the truth about many things, Sometimes
profoundly. sometimes aippsntly. some
times recklessly. =.

This is written just before departure
for Mexico-Mexico City and other
cities.
What shall we see in Mexico?
Especially what shall we see that
relates to the United States and
the safeguarding of democracy?
Down the long road that leads to a
border point at Laredo, Texas, on
through Monterey, great industrial
city, on over desert and up tremendous
mountains, into the capital where Az
tee and Spanish names intermingle to
keep alive the memories of a great
and colorful history
Quetzalcotl and Cinco de Mayo,
Popocatapetl and San Angel, as with
us we have Smith and Jones and
Brown and Woodmansee and Green.
And streets are swept with long
brooms swung sidewise in long swings.
1t is different, which means different
thinking and different outlook.
Some things we know at the outset.
There is a government that sees eye
to eye with the government of the
United States in the world crisis. That
is Fact No. 1.
In this there is dignity and con-
viction that arise in Mexico, because
of Mexico-not in limitations of or fear
of the United States.
We know, too, that many things are
not as they should be.
We know that much of the talk
about sending commodities to
Latin America, to help build and
to serve as a gesture of friendly
helpfulness, is just so much empty
talk.
The United States government is
being very selfish about what it allows
to flow out of the country, friendship
or no friendship.
We shall want to know facts about
economic affairs-cost of living, wages
and so on.
We shall want to talk to many
friends and we shall want to know how
far out of the door they have kicked
Lombardo Toledano, who was such a
pal of John l.. Lewis.
We do know that he is long ways
out and going pretty fast.
He doesn't ride high, wide and
handsome, as he once did
We shall want to talk to taxi
drivers and to government Off
cials, to newspaper men and labor
officials. We shall want, most of
all, to see Luis Morones, staunch
figure who has kept his head
through all the years since he and
Samuel Gompers stood as twin
peaks in the world that staggered
through 1917 to 1919.

Reports of low morale in army
camps are rife and apparently have a
basis of fact. Many soldiers doubt the
reality of a grave emergency, or even
any emergency at all, investigators
say. 1t seems safe to say that there
is distinct lack of enthusiasm among
draftees and National Guardsmen.
The soldiers low state of mind evi-
IDENTIFY stems from the state of mind
of the general public, which refuses
to get excited and is seemingly not
greatly concerned over the "emer-
gency," "crisis," or whatever you want
to call it.
Perhaps the public is beginning to
wonder what all the talk of "crisis, !"
mortal national danger" ETC., means.
Alarmist words and phrases are used
over and over again, until they have
almost ceased to carry any emphasis.
Concrete explanation and illustration
of the alarmist expressions are largely
lacking. All of which makes for skep-
ticism. The remedy would seem to be
for the government to take the public
more fully into its confidence, to tell
the facts, frankly, except where actual
military necessity forbids
Lack of morale in American army
camps must interest (and please) Ber-
lin. So must defense or priority un-
employment here. Certainly such un-
employment can not help national mo-
rale, and in addition it means big
less to the defense program.
Defense unemployment and the
remedy are discussed by the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor in its monthly
survey, which points out how switch
ing of materials from non-defense to
defense industries and production cuts
in consumer goods industries are fore
ing men into idleness.
The only hope for affected plants
and their workers is to change to de-
fense work as quickly as possible, the
federation says, adding that this

Special Treatment Required

"In the case of automobile parts
and equipment, curtailment of the pro-
duction volume means that the pro-
portionate number of workers are
completely displaced from their jobs.
This is why the effect of curtailment
on the automobile parts production is
more drastic and far-reaching, and
calls for special consideration and
treatment"
The A. F. of L. program of job pro-
lection for automobile workers con-
tains the following recommendation
D A survey should be undertaken
at once with the cooperation of all
available local agencies and of unions,
to make known the effects of the pro-
posed production restrictions on en-
ployment and community life. These
surveys, to be undertaken by the u S.
Employment Service, should establish
clear record of the number of work
ers to be subjected to unemployment
in each plant. The survey should en-
body an inventory of the skilled classi-
fications of the workers involved, and
the adaptability of the workers threat
ened with displacement, to defense
production.
Machinery Survey Asked
(2) A comprehensive survey should
be made, and an active inventory file
should be kept, supplementing the
present ordnance surveys, of the ma
chinery and equipment available in the
industry for use in defense production.
A program of subcontracting can be
carried out effectively only if such an
inventory is maintained.
(3) In the ALLEGATION of defense con-
tracts and subcontracts, plants in
which substantial numbers of workers
are threatened with unemployment be-
cause of priorities, should be given
preferential eligibility for defense
work over other plants.
(4) A special program should be
devised for the ALLEGATION of defense
contracts to one-industry towns in
which the entire community life de-
pends upon continued operation of a
given enterprise.
(5) Every effort should be made to
bring jobs to the workers rather than
workers to the job. Shifting workers
to other communities or plants should
be avoided in every way possible. This
would help prevent socially and eco
nomically destructive defense migra-
tion of labor, the creation of boom
towns, with all the accompanying evils
of congestion and exorbitant living
costs, on one hand, and of ghost towns
on the other.
Subcontracting Must Be Extended
(6) The present machinery for
speeding subcontracts has not met the
situation effectively This is in part
due to Army and Navy procurement
procedures and in part due to the re-
luctance of few manufacturers hold
ing vast defense contracts to extend
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-09-05

of auto parts and equipment workers
as compared with such effect on auto
mobile assembly. When the volume of
assembly work is curtailed, full use of
the assembly labor still has to be
made, but for a shorter time per week.
This means that the majority of
workers are retained on their jobs, but
their full-time weekly hours are re-
duced.
