AFTER DEFENSE EMPLOYMENT.
WHAT?

In their intense preoccupation with
defense activities many are ''too busy
to give any thought to what will hap
pen when defense production comes to
an end Because of temporarily rising
employment and even Tabor scarcity, 2
others are under the illusion that the
problem of unemployment has been
solved at last Few are giving thought
to the menace of the large-scale post
defense unemployment which is sure
to come unless intelligent and ade-
quate plans are worked out in advance.
The Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America at its biennial
meeting last December adopted res
olution which said in part:
VOTED: That the A M eric an
churches cooperating in the Federal
Council urge the appointment by Con-
gress or the President of a commits
sion on unemployment to be composed
of Representatives of consumers, farm
ers, labor, finance, manufacturing,
commerce, government, education,
church, youth, and welfare agencies
without regard to race or color; the
personnel Of such a commission should
proceed at once to propose systematic
plans for the long-range solution of
the basic problem of unemployment.
Representative H. Jerry Voorhis of
California has now introduced II. J.
Res. SO which calls for the establish
ment of such a commission.
The bill is now in committee. Hear
ings were held recently by a sub-com-
mittee of the Labor Committee of the
House. Not only was there favorable
testimony by representative of the
Federal Council of Churches, the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Conference,
and the Central Conference of Ameri
can Rabbis, but support was given by
national organizations of labor, man
ufacturers, and consumers. Yet it can
not be expected that it will be reported
out and adopted by the House unless
Congressman are assured of urgent
public demand for its passage. Human
welfare or human misery on large
scale are in, the balance.

SOCIAL SECURITY
ACCOUNT CARDS

Workers who obtain employment in
canning factories may obtain original
or duplicate social security account
cards by applying at the Bureau of
Old-Age and Survivors, Insurance Of
flee in the Postoffice Building in Ham
ilton. The need for such numbers was
explained this week by S. E. Stratton,
manager of the Hamilton office, who
said:
Thousands of persons who have
done no work in commerce or industry
since the Social Security Act went
into effect in 1887 may find jobs this
year in canning factories now reach
ing the peak of operations for the
current season. Such persons should
obtain social security account numbers
and show their cards to their employ
ers at the time of or shortly after
starting work.
persons who have been employed
previously may obtain duplicates if
they have lost their original social
security account number cards. Women
who formerly worked under their
maiden names may obtain duplicate
cards bearing their old social security
number, but married names rather
than single names. The same is true
of persons who have been working un-
der assumed or Americanized names
and who must show a birth certificate
in order to obtain employment. A du-
plicate card, bearing the real name of
a person, may be obtained in place of
one bearing an assumed name"

Meets Job-How Uncle Sam Helps"
published by the Public Affairs Com
mittee, 80 Rockefeller Plaza, New
York City.
Written by Philip S. Broughton of
the Social Security Board, the PAM
phlet tells why the U. S. Employment
Service was formed, and how it func-
tions in the present emergency.
1t is no longer concerned, Broughton
points out, with finding a job-any job
for the jobless man or woman. 1t
has "to meet defense job demands with
the best skilled men and women where
ever they can be found-whether or
not they are employed"
Workers seeking defense jobs are
given the following advice:
l. Register at once with your local
state employment office, if you are
qualified for work in a defense indus
try. 2. Register if you are working
at semi-skilled or unskilled job and
you have the skill needed for better
job. 8. Apply at the employment Of
flee if you want training for defense
job. 4. Do not leave your home town
in search Of work unless the local en-
ployment office tells you there is
definite opening somewhere else.
"The U. s. Employment Service"
Broughton adds, "also serves as
channel to all kinds of training for
defense jobs.
During the entire period of the first
World War, only 100000 workers were
especially trained for defense industry
jobs. In the first six months of the
present defense program, more than
ten times that many have been trained
or retrained. Since March, 1941, new
defense training activities undertaken
in any community are first cleared
with the state employment service"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

This column recently told of the
plans for the formation of foreign
trade union groups in Great Britain.
Reports show that organization of
these groups is progressing and that
Belgian, French, German, Austrian,
Czechoslovak national groups are now
operating.
Plans are being made for the or
ganization of Polish and Norwegian
groups. Well-organized unions of sea-
men from the two nations have been
functioning for some time.
Foreign trade union groups in Brit
ain are based on the principle of 81
multaneous membership of the appro-
pirate British trade union and of the
respective national trade union organ
ization. The foreign workers are or
ganized in British unions for the pro-
lection of their wage and working con-
ditions. They are grouped also by ma
tionality to give expression to the
close mutual bonds which these work
ers feel, to maintain the continuity of
relations with the labor movements of
their respective homelands and to be
the seeds of the future free trade
unions movements in their countries.
Thus the tasks of the foreign groups
are principally social and propagan-
dist. They will pay special attention
to relief campaigns and to the en-
couragement of trade union tradition.
AS a result of the world crisis, COM
pelling the Inauguration of the ma
tional defense program in the United
States, the federal employment serv-
ice has made advances that might have
taken ten years to achieve under or
dinary circumstances. What these
changes mean to the average worker
seeking a defense job or an employer
seeking skilled workers is described in
detail in a pamphlet entitled Man

WHAT NEXT?

In Stockholm, Sweden, where motor
fuel is rationed even more drastically
than breadstuffs, a bakery is produc-
ing fuel for so of it's own cars and
trucks from vapors arising from bak-
ing bread, says Business Week. Yeast
arising from dough produces ethyl al
cohol and other chemical compounds.
In the process of baking, the dough
gives off an alcohol-water mixture in
the form of steam. Special equipment,
probably the first in the world, col
lects the steam from the oven, con-
denses, and distills it to provide SO
per cent alcohol at a cost Of about SO
cents a gallon.

L. Lewis is waning thing. These are
brighter days.
And another great friend of the
United States Is rising to new and
delayed Importance. That is Luis N.
Morones, head of the GROIN, ally of
the A. F. of L.
There have been those who have
been willing to write Morones off as
finished. They saw the rise of Tole-
dano as the end of Morones. But they
were short-sighted.
The GROIN has just finished a great
convention. At the conclusion there
was great parade, in which the Mex
ican and United States flags were car
ried side by side by beautiful Mexican
girls. 1t was such a spectacle as Mex
leo never saw before. 1t was more
than a gesture. 1t was pledge.
Matthew Woll, there as A. F. of L.
delegate, must have been thrilled bv
the sight.
1t is good to find good news in at
least one spot in a sadly battered
world. Let citizens of the United
States, and especially union members,
appreciate to the full what it means.
