Mrs. Herrick Defends
Labor's Right To Strike

New York, n. Y.-Elinore NJ. Her.
rick, regional director of the National
Labor Relations Board, defended the
right of labor to strike in vital de-
fense industries She emphasized free
dom of decision on the part of the
worker, declaring that although "some
people are thinking we ought to put
a stop to this sort of business
strikes cannot be clamped down upon
without the surrender of something
precious" to every American.
Speaking before fifty members of
the New York Club Presidents Round
table, meeting at the Hotel Pierre,
Mrs. Herrick praised Congress for re-
fusing to pass legislation that would
make criminals of strikers.
She cautioned against an emotional
attitude toward the present strike sit
uation, one of the many complexities,
she said, that have arisen because of
the national emergency.

the end. That is our position. We
are determined to maintain unim-
paired here in America the four free
doms.
Secretary Treasurer Meany, a
former president of the New York
Federation, told the convention that
"even in the midst of this defense pro-
gram we must project our thoughts
to the day when defense production
ceases"
"American industry is now running
in high gear" he said Thousands Of
factories are operating twenty-four
hours day. Workers can go from
city to city and find jobs. But let US
remember that there will be day
when this defense program will cease.
"There will be a day when this war,
like all other wars that have gone be-
fore, will come to an end. We have TO
look forward to that day because
when that day comes we will be face
to face-unless something is done
about it--with major depression
He urged the government to follow
| the recent proposal of the Executive
Council of the American Federation
Of Labor for an agency, upon which
labor, industry, agriculture and gov
ernment would be represented, etc
plan for an employment program that
will use the resources of America SC
that we can go on producing, not the
things of war but the things tina,
make life worth while"
The delegates unanimously ap-
proved the eight-point war-aim pro.
gram proclaimed by President Roose
welt and Prime Minister Winston
Churchill at their recent meeting ir
the Atlantic. The convention also
adopted a resolution approving all
out aid to Soviet Russia as we'll al

union movement. Industrial civilza-
ton must either extend more demo-
cratic control to those who produce
and to those who consume economic
goods and services, or it must center
total power in a political state. There
seems to be no other alternative. If
we cannot have the spirit of Chris
tian democracy in industry, all de-
mocracy is jeopardized
1t is well that church members face
this fact and come to terms with it.
A new missionary opportunity pre-
sents itself. The churches should
urge the further application of the
Christian principles Of democracy to
industrial and economic relations. If
this new missionary call is needed,
the Christian forces will play vital
part in the era just ahead. If it is
ignored, they are likely to have little
part in solving our most urgent social
problems and infusing spiritual life
into society.
The fundamental religious concern
with industry has to do with it's spirit
and purpose. If we are to develop an
economic order which will express the
spirit Of Christ, who came mot to be
ministered unto, but to minister" the
primary test of production and dis
tribution must be not a private ad-
vantage but the common good. A
Christian spirit must find appropriate
economic forms to fulfill it's basic
purpose of the greatest service to
human need.
In the area Of industrial relations
the churches must make clear not
only that labor has the right to or.
ganize, but also that the principle OF
such organization is socially sound
, At the same time as labor grows IN
power, it must assume the moral re-
sponsibility which power entails. Or
| ganized labor can command public
support only as it deals effectively
with various elements in it's ranks
which weaken confidence in it's in
: tegrity. 1t must live up to the Chris
: tian spirit which is essential to de
7 mocracy. 1t must itself practice de
: mocracy in control and, where neces
sary, put it's own house in order.

SPEAK FOR
YOURSELF
BY RUTH TAYLOR
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There is no getting away from the
fact that organized labor is being
criticized in many quarters these
days, not only in the places from
which one would expect to find such
criticism, but among many of those
who have been labor's friends. Be-
cause they were not shown how to
differentiate, they have been swayed
by the misrepresentation of labor's
enemies.
In the last analysis you members Of
organized labor have only yourselves
to blame. You are public opinion and
what you think can determine what
the country as a whole thinks. Are
you, because of negligence or indif-
ference, going to allow all for which
you struggled and fought to be torn
down by small minority whose prin-
cipal advantage is that it is articu-
late? You are the largest single body
in this country, but unless you fight
adverse propaganda, you will lose
groups which normally would be on
your side.
There are two kinds of propaganda
you should use-the counter active
and the constructive. First - the
counteractive. Every single article OF
mention of organized labor appearing
in any paper or in any speech in your
community should be answered. Don't
let any remark go unchallenged. You
must take issue with every false &C.
cusation. But remember, in writing tc
a paper or group, don't accuse OF
abuse them. Take the stand that you
know that if they had been in full
possession of the facts they would not
have printed or made the statement
objected to. Don't make extravagan'
statements. Don't make hot, blanker
denials and wild charges.
Remember if you keep your temper
you have the advantage. You cam
win anything in a democracy withou
the support of public opinion, bu
since you are public opinion, you art
in a position to counteract all tn
steps being taken against you.
Second, constructive propaganda
The truth must be administered, i
must be positive, and it must be con
tinuous. But first of all, be sure yol
have an absolutely clean house. Lool
at your own group carefully ant
critically before someone else does
Get your union in perfect shape, 81
that you know that not only is every
one working for it, but working il
the right place. Then start out to sci

MAY TRANSFER WORKERS

Hartford, Conn.-The State Labor
Department says that scarcity OF
skilled workers in Connecticut has
raised the question whether trans
fer of workers (from nondefense) to
defense industries may be arranged
on a temporary, cooperative basis, OF
whether more direct action may be
necessary" 1t was declared an
"anomaly" that defense concerns
should be short of labor while non
defense industries operated with an
adequate supply Of trained machinists
and toolmakers.

Agree To Wage Boost

New York, n. Y.-Three associa-

agreed to wage increases of approx

that the rise would also be approved

In little while the girl returned

YOUNG
SHOULDERS
By LAURA GRAY

Tommy, aged five, turned the wheel
of his new engine, but his ears were
alert for anything his parents in the
next room might say. A miserable,
paralyzing feeling had taken hold of
the child since yesterday, when his
father had come home in the middle
of the day, looking very sad and de-
jected. Mother had cried, and later
explained that Daddy had lost his job,
and they had no money-that they
must have money or they couldn't
buy food.
Tommy hadn't answered-hadn'
thought of anything to say. 1t wasn't
so much what his mother had said
as the way she'd said it-as if some
thing very dreadful had happened.
Vaguely he sensed that what we know
as security had been taken from his
world.
He looked at his little engine, a
birthday treasure, and frightened. He
waited until his father went out to
work in the garden. Then he ran out
after him. Daddy" he called excited
ly, "here's my engine. Take it back
to the store man, and he'll give you
some money"
Daddy stood up, suddenly realizing
for the first time something of what
the child was suffering. "No, Tom
N.Y." the man drew the boy close
"you keep your engine. We've still q
little money. Perhaps I'll have an
other job before it's gone"
81 can bring up wood, and cut
kindling with my little axe, and SWEEP
the steps, because Mother can't have
the woman to help her any more"
The child's eyes. glistened. The terri
BILE feeling was dropping away.
"Of course you can, Tommy. l was
going to take you and your friend
Bill, to the pictures this afternoon, as
l promised. Now we can't spenc
money that way, but I'll take yol
both for a hike, and We'll see some
pictures of different kind. Run anC
get Bill now"
"All right, Dad!" Tommy was of
without delay.
Soon man and boys were walking
through the autumn woods. There wa
much to see and talk about. The!

WHAT ELSE COULD HE DO?

Two elderly members, meeting at
the club after many years, stopped to
chat. Said one to the other, who was
slightly deaf:
"1'm sorry to hear of the death of
your wife"

"1'm sorry to hear your wife is
dead"

"If you need a sack of -four and have
no money to buy it with, we'll give
you sack. But see here, Jake, there's
