AMERICAN PATRIOTS

Baltimore, Nd. GLNS).-The mem
DRY of twelve patriots who defended
Baltimore against the British during
the famous battle Of 1914, will be
pcrpetuated in the names Of the thor
oughfares running through Armistead
Gardens, United States Housing Au-
thority public housing community
here.
The site of Armistead Gardens is
but a stones throw from the North
Point Battlefield, where troops from
Baltimore, Hagerstown, Maryland,
and the lower section Of Pennsylvania
successfully repelled the land attack
upon Baltimore, September 8, 1914.
Armistead was the Lieutenant Col
onel who commanded the American
forces defending Fort McHenry at the
battle which inspired the writing of
the National Anthem by Francis Scott
Key.

New Yorkers Get
$l23,000In Back PdY
Workers Paid Less Than the
Minimum Collect BY
Law Order

New York City 0LNS).-Mo than
S123OOO was collected and returned
to workers who had been paid less
than the minimum wage in the six
industries under minimum wage or
ders in New York State in 1910, Miss
Kate Papert, acting director of the
Division of Women in Industry and
Minimum Wage of the Labor Depart
ment, told the annual meeting of the
National Consumers League here.
"Important as the collections were
during 1940," said Miss Papert, sit is
far more impressive that very large
majority of the workers got at least
the minimum wage without the neces-
sity of actual wage collections by the
department. The minimum has not
become the maximum and wages have
increased all along the line.
compliance with the law was eX-
cellent because of the cooperation of
employers and because of enforcement
of wage standards by the department
Employers and workers, to say moth
ing of the public, demand thorough
enforcement. 1t is not fair to any
one unless all employers are required
to live up to the regulations"
The Minimum Wage Law, which
was passed in 1887, now affects 150,-
90 women and minors in the laundry
beauty service, confectionery, clean
ing and dyeing, restaurant and hotel
industries. Miss Papert says there are
still many women entitled to mini
mum wage protection. These include
workers in retail trade, the largest
single group left to be covered, as
we'll as office cleaners.

BQffIe
By DIR. CHARLSS STELZLE

Man is fighting animal. He is at
tracted by that which suggests con-
fict or competition. Only when i'll
health, old age, or some other Grip
ping influence grips him is he ready
to quit. 1t is because of this instinct
for conflict that there have always
been spologists for war. 1t has been
assumed by them that war is natural
to mankind; that war alone con pro-
duce men of heroic quality, and that
it saves society from becoming fabby
and stagnant. The question still re-
mains whether their strength and
genius is always put to the best use in
bringing about world peace.
Meanwhile, there are great masses
of people who are today suffering
from many generations of struggle
and defeat and who are unable TO go
to war. They need the help Of those
who have been fortunate enough to
escape the devastating effects of pow
erty, illness, and the many other
causes which say the life and vitality
of men everywhere.
What is to become of such people is
the responsibility of those who have
the strength, the wisdom and the
ability to fight for their redemption
There are battles to be fought in their
behalf which will require men and
women who are entitled not because
Of an inspired hatred of their oppon-
ents which will create desire for re-
venge or retribution, but because of
a sincere desire to save life instead of
destroying it.
America may some day be compell-
ed to call the finest of our youth to
fight the Totalitarian governments ir
the war that now faces the Democ,
racies. And to those who answer this
call we will give all the honor anG
glory which they will richly deserve
In any event, let US mobilize an army
for definite service for specified
periods, which will deal intelligently
and sympathetically with constructive
measures, and which will lay dowr
at the feet of the nation accomplished
tasks in social, economic and politica
reform.
And when the nation realizes that
such measures will intimately helI
solve it's outstanding problems, be-
cause justice and good will will pre-
vail, sickness and poverty will be de
creased, slum clearance and better
housing will lengthen life and enrich
it, and a host of other constructive
programs will be promoted, it vii
find in such service moral equiva
lent for war;" in which all right
thinking men may engage with honor
The supreme task Of our time is t.
substitute the strategies of peace TO
the strategies of war.

Defense Leaders

Of free economic system.
''In any successful defense program
the active, intelligent and patriotic
cooperation of the men who man the
machines is vital. Lawns now in eff
feet make secure the principle of col
lective bargaining and throw about
the interests Of the workingman ade-
quate protection. Labor must know
that under the administration of the
Office of Production Management no
sacrifices will be asked of it that will
not be matched by a corresponding
sacrifice on the part Of capital, but
just as it is intolerable for capital to
seek selfish advantage by reason of
the present emergency, so must labor
avoid any attempt to make improper
use of it's position in the present
worldwide emergency. The whole
principle of collective bargaining and
the rights Of labor under our system
of government and economy is being
challenged.
eff the totalitarian forces of the
world are victorious, all the hardwon
rights of labor will be destroyed and
both capital and labor will become the
involuntary vassals of an all-powerful
state. Labor has as great a stake in
this crisis as capital, and both must
work together harmoniously if the
United States is to make it's contribu-
ton to a democratic victory in the
world.
"To achieve the results which the
country expects from the Office of
Production Management, we expect
and must have the kind Of coopera-
ton from everybody that counts no
sacrifice too great to make if it will
contribute to a more successful and a
more efficient defense. 1t is this spirit
which we seek to invoke, and it is
in similar spirit that we undertake
this great task which the Commander
in Chief has committed to our hands. y
The four members Of the new Office
of Production Management are Will
liam S. knudsen, director general (;
Sidney Hillman, associate director
general Secretary of War Stimson
and Secretary of the Navy Knox.
