EARLIER REPORT IN ERROR

Vancouver, B. c. GLNS).-Con-
trary to earlier reports, the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, in S5th
annual convention here, reatfirmed a
longtime policy Of favoring arbitra-
ton in settling disputes with en-
ployers.
The convention rejected an amend
ment, offered by San Francisco dele
gates, that would have restricted
such arbitration. An erroneous report
at the time stated the delegates
adopted the proposal.
The conventions committee on laws
reported unfavorably on the amend
ment, and President Claude Nj. Baker
opposed it in speaking before the
conventions action. The vote on the
committees unfavorable report was:
For, 116; against, 81.

Wage Unit Debates Ban
On Knit Weur Homework

Washington, d. C.-The probability

RESPITE FROM TURMOIL

TT Is WITH relief that we turn from the turmoil
and confusion which the Second World War has
brought to our home and factory doors. 1t is
steadyng and heartening to turn aside for a lew
hours for the observance of day that typlfles the
results of past struggles
Labor Day commentaries long struggle OF
those who toll to lift themselves to the status OF
free persons who give their labor and services IN
accordance with the terms of contracts negotiated
with employers by their own representatives. Free
persons control their own lives IN choosing what
they will do and will not do They have right to
secure for themselves a share in social progress
and the responsibility of exercising that right.
We who are free and in the forefront of eco
nomic progress have responsibility for securing
and maintaining corresponding opportunity and
an influence in both the political and social fields.
AS these fields are ever-changlng our RESPONSE
bity continuously urges us on, but each struggle
Is a new opportunity.
This year the emergency and the problems
that confront are more crucial than those OF
any previous time Our anniversary day returns
to find the turmoil and agony of war closer to our
homes and factory doors The currents OF reVo-
luton within Europe and Asia have reached out
to the far corner OF the world Personal freedom
is the fundamental involved.
We abhor the destruction and waste of war,
but unless we have personal freedom we lose all
the gains of past centuries. We must be ready to
defend our institutions against worldwide reVo-
luton.
gradually shifting our defense preparations to a
war basis, until now moving at rapid
pace Within the next three months one-third of
our industrial machinery will be converted to war
production or to some new kind of civilian pro-
ducton. Large amounts of basic materials must
be procured for defense production and for all
other needs
Conversion Of peacetime production to defense
production means organizing a new economy with
all of the changes, losses and suffering attendant
upon change in such basic field.
Labor stands ready to assume its sacrifices for
the defense of human freedom The only con-
dition impose Is that we have representation
in determining the character of our sacrifices and
in the administration by which these sacrifices
are exacted Only through the participation of
representatives chosen by unions can the workers
of America feel that they have responsibility
for national defense out of which grows national
determination to win the struggle regardless of
all costs.
Labor Day 1911 should be observed with
solemn realization that must gird strength
for period Of action that will make heavy de-
mands upon our ability to produce and will re-
quire most alert and intelligent activity to protect
our rights and get consideration for our welfare
by those making decisions in the Defense Ad-
ministration.

Wage Order Benefits
$4,000 Women Workers

Washington, d. C.-Approval of the
mems shirts, single pants and allied
garments wage order requiring pay
ment Of at least 40 cents an hour to
all employees except learners was an
nounced by General Philip B. Flem-
ing, Wage and Hour Administrator.
1t was estimated that the new mini
mum will increase the wage rate of
$4,000, mostly women sewing machine
operators, out Of $4,000 employed in
the industry. 1t represents an in
crease in their guaranteed wage for
the standard 4O-hour week from S13
under the original 3212 cents an hour
to SIG, or an increase in payroll Of
about $270,OOO a week.

4 WERICAN FEDERAIION OF Labor UNIONS
have offered a comprehensive, carefully
thought out program for preventing defense un-
employment in the automobile parts and equip
ment industry. Unions in other industries are
ready to offer similar programs.
Such programs suggested by labor or other
essential elements in industry call for the utmost
consideration and study on the part of the govern
ment. Federal officials, in fact, ought to be doing
their best to encourage labor and business to sub
nit plans for dealing with defense unemployment
which is already becoming serious and threatens
to become much worse. In coping with the prob
lem, the active help of every element in business
and industry is vital and should be welcome to
government heads concerned with defense.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hutched Out
The Truth
. OFF TO MEXICO
Q TO FIND WHAT
DIFFERENT THINKING
. DIFFERENT OUTLOOK

This is written just before depar-
ture for Mexico-Mexico City and
other cities.
What shall we see in Mexico?
Especially what shall we see that re-
lates to the United States and the
safeguarding of democracy?
Down the long road that leads to
border point at Laredo, Texas, on
through Monterey, great industrial
city, on over desert and up tre-
mendous mountains, into the capital
where Aztec and Spanish names in
termingle to keep alive the memories
of 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
a different thinking and a different
outlook.
Some things we know at the out
set. There is 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 a
conviction that arise in Mexico, be-
cause of Mexico-not in imitation 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 gesture of friendly helpfulness,
is just so much empty talk.
The United States government is
beeing very selfish about what it al
lows 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 a 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 driv-
ers and to government officials, 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.

When we have found out things
things that interest us in this coun-
try, you can expect to find some of
them in this column. Here it proba-
bly, will not be intended to write
about profound issues.
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
for.
You can get closer to human beings
with Riley or Mark Twain or Carl
Sandburg than you do with Karl Marx

their own songs to know what is in

. IN SHIPYARD WOODPILE
. BEWARE THE GREEKS
. BEARING GIFTS
Thar's niger
Mebbe thar's two niggers-
In that (Shipyard) wood pile
Here's a corporation, relative of U.
S. Steel
Asking Uncle Sam to take over a
big shipyard plant
Presumably giving up all enormous
profits of that game
Cor do they expect Uncle Sam to
run the business
(And then pay them their usual
profits, after it is all over?)
(Or is it maybe, that on account
of government taxes
(They foresee that net profits will
not be so large as formerly?)
Then again
This corporation has sprouted a
conscience
1t has compunctions; it is much
concerned
About violating liberties" of it's
working hands
For instance: liberty not to join a
union
However: Supreme Court says,
when a man joins labor union
That gives him a certain property
right
In undisturbed selection of his own
representatives
For the purpose of collective bar
gaining with his employer
X X X
This conscientious corporation
Wants to protect rights of it's en-
ployes-
To throw away this potential legal
property right
To preserve the age-old privilege
of individual worker
Of making his own personal dicker
with corporation representatives
Bargaining for wages, hours Of
labor, shop conditions for safety
Bullying foremen, vacations with
pay, seniorities, compensations-
Just like they used to, in those
"good old days.
Before there were any unions
Yeah!
X X X
Beware the Greeks, b earl in g
gifts
So this corporation prates of
'1iberty"-
Freedom of men to make them
selves stronger
BY associating together, organizing
their own union
Which freedom this kearney Corp.
fought with force and fraud
They now claim to be a loss of lib
erty for workingmen--
What they want, have always
wanted, insist on having now
Is company privilege of keeping
spying stooges in their plant
They never believed in collective
bargaining, anyway
They do not believe in democracy
applied to industry
So they want to keep their finks
who won't join the union
X X X
Like Hitler, they do not believe in
democracy
They have carried the Hitler plan
as far as they can, in America
They don't want any unions left for
a victorious Hitler to smash
They are in rebellion against
Americas labor policy
They won't have collective bargain
ing
Rather than that, they turn their
plant over to government operation
Expecting that it will fail in the
attempt, anyway
SO that America will therefore, be
unready, to that extent
When the test comes against a
Nazi onslaught
Between beating the Hitler time
table
Or giving up their antiquated policy
of labor relations
The managers of that New Jersey
shipyard plant
Are doing what they really believe
will slow up Americas defense pro-
gram
They don't believe government op-
Grafton more efficient
So they drive the American gov
ernment into a corner
And in the specious name of Glib
erty"-
Think they will make a spectacle
of democracy
Using the same brand of brains
which has created depressions-
Digging a pit for their own al
legged "aristocrats"-
Opening doors which they probably
can never shut again.

role of the Ethiopian princess, slave
of the Egyptians and rival of Pha-
raoh'S daughter Amneris in her af-
fections of Radames, Egypts mill
tary hero. Miss Lushanya made a
stunning Aida. Her erect and poised
carriage accentuated the pride of
her race as well as that of the un-
fortunate Ethiopian girl torn be-
tween love and duty. The artists
beautiful voice gained in opulence
of tone and resonance since her last
appearance here. Her two famous
ariaS, "Ritorno Vincitor" and 20,

thetic note which the role demands.
Miss Lushanyas voice can take al
ways an additional hue Of sweet
ness at command, even her high
tones are imbued with it.
1t is with a special interest that
one anticipated the scene of AM
neris, impersonated by Anna Kas-
kas, contralto of the Metropolitan
Opera, in her local debut Miss Kas-
kas has beautiful voice, distinctive
for its unusually even range and
suavity, richness and clarity. One
can well imagine how well such a
voice may sound in the role of
Dalila. In her scene with Aida she
artistically defined. in timbre and
infection. the cunning pretence and

Harold Lindi, in the role of
Radames, displayed a strong tenor
voice, mellow in the middle register.
His high tones, as those in Celeste
Aida, the test of every dramatic
tenor, were tossed off with force, if
not with ease. His long experience
in opera is told in the art of his
impersonations. He looked the part
of a soldier and of the lover. His
scenes with the Ethiopian slave on
the bank OF the Nile and in the
tomb where he was condemned to
die were among his best.
Mostyn Thomas made fierce
Amonasro. He sang with artistic
finish and acted with dramatic pow
er. Harold Kravitt as Ramfis, the
high priest, was stern and forcible
character. His towering figure con-
tributed to the dignity of several
scenes. Richard Wentworth, in the
part of Pharaoh, and Dorothy Dick
son, a priestess, were we'll cast for
their roles. The former displayed
an excellent high voice.
The San Carlo Ballet, made much
of the various scenes in which it ap-
peared. The dance of the Ethio-
plans, those of the priesteSses and
of the corps de Ballet in the tri-
umphal scene were expertly staged.
Lucien Prideaux and Lydia Arlova,
in a striking silver-toned makeup,
won a special round of applause.
The chorus, as usual, contributed
generously to the excellence of the
ensemble. 1t is regrettable that
when singing below the stage, in
