THREE STATES DISGRACED
(From the Washington, ID. G.. POST

(From the Washington, ID. G. POSt)
EVERY American ought to be chagrined at the
- report coming from Tuskegee Institute show
ing an increase in lynchings last year. 1t is true
that the total number of these mob murderers is
not large Only four lives were claimed by In
furiated gangs taking the law into their own
hands, compared with three lynchings in 1889.
But that black mark against American democracy
seems particularly ineXcusable at time when
this Nation is throwing it's influence into the bal
ance against barbarous practices in other parts
Of the world.
OF course, the report from Tuskegee is not
without its brighter aspects. The victims OF mob
violence in 1910 were only half us numerous as
they were in both 1886 and 1887. The current re-
port is the most favorable for any year. except
1889 Tuskegco's department of records and re-
search found, moreover, that 2S persons had been
saved from the hands of mobs by officers of the
IlaW. Obviously the laW-cnforcement officials OF
1.-The southern states are far more diigent in pro
Itcctng the lives Of accused persons than they were
Ia few years ago. And all but three of the states
kept their records entirely clear of lynchings il
1910.
Those three states-Georgia, Alabama anc
ITcnncssce-have taken the full disgrace of the
1910 lynchings upon themselves.

Millions Are Predicted
For Low Wage Workers

Washington, d. C.-Dcclaring that
"there have been too many pay en-
velopes in this country containing less
than SIC for a full weeks work" :"
Colonel Philip b. Fleming, admins
traitor of the Wage and Hour Division,
predicted that 'in 1941 the minimum
wage will add more than $100,000,OO0
to these pay envelopes. The increase
will go to about a million workers.
We have obtained about $6,50O,O00 in
restitution for about 100000 workers" "
"The 40-hour overtime penalty is

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING STRENGTHENED

Supreme Court decision upholding the principle
that agreements between workers and employers
must be signed by the employer.
The decision WILL of itself, organize no unions

upholding the right of the National Labor Re,

it will strengthen the bargaining power OF or

The Labor Relations Act requires that EN-
ployers bargain in good faith The law does not
say they must enter into agreements with en-
poyes. When an agreement IS reached, however
they must put it in writing and sign 1t, under

PLANNING NOW

DLANNING now to deal with unemployment
when the national defense program slackens
and ends is given vigorous support by the Federal
Council of Churches.
A resolution adopted by the council says
"That we urge the appointment by Congress
Or the President of commission unemploy-
ment to be composed of representatives OF con-
sumers, farmers, labor, finance, manufacturing,
commerce, government, education, church, youth
and welfare agencies without regard to race or
color; the personnel of such commission to be
selected with view to public confidence and with
out political implications.
"Such commission should proceed at once to
propose systematic plans for the longrange So
luton of the basic problem of unemployment. This
action is urged with the recognition that unem-
ployment is moral as well as an economic prob
lem, and that there is general informed opinion
that the present defense program will only have
temporary effect on the reduction of unempoy-
ment"
The American Federation Of Labor quick
to recognize the need for planning at the end of
he defense program. This need was emphasized
by Nathan Straus, u. S. Housing head, and other
speakers before the New Orleans convention last
November Since then the urgency OF such plan
ming has been pointed out repeatedly by labor
spokesmen, public officials and government agen-
cies, including the National Resources Planning
Board.
With such universal recognition of the need
for planning there should be no difficulty in get
ting it started But unless the proposal is strong
y voiced and energetcally pushed there is danger
nothing may be done about it. There is no time
to lose, as formulation of a plan and program
takes time.

age monthly employment at vocational
training for defense jobs will be pro-

places where shortages already exist
