lost their sight as the result of
syphilis or gonorrhea.
"About $4,000 babies are born with
congenital syphilis every year. Most
of them develop a serious eye con-
dition at some time in early life, un-
less they receive adequate medical
care; but these tragedies are needless.
Prospective mothers who have syphilis
can bear healthy children if prenatal
anti-syphilitic treatment is admins
tered in time; and a careful exam
ination including a blood test usually
can determine the presence Of syphi-
lite germs.
'If all cases Of syphilis among eX-
pectant mothers are discovered and
followed up with early treatment, we
may look forward to a marked de-
crease in blindness and defective Wis
ion. The National Society for the Pre-
vention Of Blindness is participating
therefore, in the movement to stamp
out this disease. The problem will
receive particular attention on Febru-
airy 5th, designated as National So
cial Hygiene Day"

The program called for large new
appropriations for defense housing
which can be adapted to the post
emergency needs for low income fami-
lies.
1t asked for new appropriations for
the Dies Committee and the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation to investigate
and suppress Fifth Column activities
in this country.
Basic amendments to the National
Labor Relations Act which were over
whelmingly approved at the last AFL
Congress. 1t was emphasized that
these amendments would strengthen,
rather than weaken the Act and guar
antee fair and unbiased administra-

Enactment of the two Wagner Nc
Cormack bills introduced at the last
session of Congress to improve and
extend the old age pension and un-
employment compensation provisions
Of the Social Security Act was ur-
gently recommended with the proviso
that changes be made to protect the
existing pension rights of public en-
ployes.

The Legislative programs of the af
filiated unions of Government en-
ployes were fully endorsed and the
AFL went on record against pay cuts
for those in the Government service

declared at does not seek selfish
advantage for labor at the expense OF

Insurance for permanent and tenn
porary disability also should be enact
ed Immediately. We believe this should
be the first step toward a far-reaching
national program Of health insurance,
which is our ultimate goal.
All persons inducted into military
service or engaged in civilian defense
work should be protected from any
loss of social security rights.
Unemployment
According to the latest estimates of
the American Federation of Labor
there are still 100000 unemployed in
the nation. However, because of the
rapid expansion Of the defense pro-
gram, workers are being absorbed into
private industry at such rapid pace
that it appears likely the number of
unemployed will be reduced sharply by
the end of the year.
In view of these encouraging pros
poets, the American Federation of
Labor will not oppose reasonable re-
duction of relief appropriations, but
it will insist on adequate provision
for those unable to find jobs in indus
try who will remain dependent upon
Federal aid.
Government Employees Legislation
We are concerned lest the tendency
to economize on expenditures for the
regular departments of the Federal
Government result in unwise re-
ductions in personnel and attempts to
reduce the compensation of the still
low-paid employees in Government ser
vice. We will oppose wage cuts and
false economies. We recommend fur,
ther extension and improvements OF
the Civil Service and of the retire.
ment systems in force for Govern.
ment employees. We will support te
the fullest extent the legislative pro
gram of the unions of Government
employees affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.

"for the general welfare and for the
purpose of relieving the needs of
members of the union between the
ages of 60 and 65 years." The fund
will be administered by joint COM
mittee consisting of three employers
and three officers Of the union.
3O-Hour Week Continued
Other terms of the agreement,
which covers wages and working con-
ditions for this year, include the fol-
lowing:
1. Despite pressure on the part of
the Building Trades Employers Asso-
citation for the union to abandon the
short work week, the new contract
provides for the continuance of the
existing 30-hour, five-day week.
2. A minimum wage scale of 81 an
hour with time and a half for over
time.
3. A union shop.
d. The mandatory employment of
one member SIS years of age or over
for every ten men on the job or major
fraction thereof.

declaration of that convention for
support of the national defense pro-
gram"
Following the submission of the
legislative program to Congress, Will
liam c. flushing, chairman of the
AFL Legislative Committee, called all
legislative representatives of affiliated
organizations and the railroad broth
erhoods into conference to devise ways
and means of putting the program
into effect.
1t was the unanimous decision of
the conference that any and all at
tempts to enact anti-labor legislation
at this session of Congress must be
promptly squelched.

from manufacturers.
"Instead | find that the National
Defense Commission regards the over
ment in stimulating employers to train
new workers, to organize second or
third and even fourth shifts of pro-
duction workers.
"The overtime penalty tends to end
the business as usual method of
meeting increased production de-
mands. Far too usually that method
has been to work longer hours rather
than to hire more men.
GAS for the talk of labor short
age, dare any employer listening to
me tonight to sign his name to want
ad offering a job. He would find a
quence stretching around the block
when he arrived at his office the next
morning.
"The rate of hiring in the machine
tool industry reached it's peak in the
summer and has fallen off sharply
since, according to the charts main
tained by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics. The same is true of the rate
of hiring in the airplane industry.
"To add properly organized shifts
of men is an economy, not an eXtrav-
agance. The increased volume of pro-
duction resulting is likely to be at a
lower cost per unit. AS the men work
on the same machines under the same
roof, there is no increase to over
head.
"People are being given an exag-
gerated idea Of the cost of the over
time. Where it is necessary to work
a shift Of men as hours and pay then
time and half for the last eight
hours, the cost of labor increases by
almost eight per cent.
"But labor cost is not the whole
story. Labor cost is usually less thar
one-fourth the production cost. That is
because the cost of overhead and the
cost of raw materials are far greater
than the cost Of the labor. ShoulC
labor cost be one-fourth product cos
(and it is usually lower) the in
creased cost of the product is less thar
two per cent"

administration by definite substantive
and procedural amendments. During
this session of Congress, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor will press for
the following amendments to the Act,
overwhelming approved at it's last
conventions:
1. A change in the unit rule to per-
nit skilled employees and recognized
classifcations of workers to retain
their separate unity if they so de-
sire, similar to the Railway Labor
Act.
2. A direct court appeal by labor
organizations in representation cases,
so as to preclude recurrence of the
Longshoremen's decision, which wiped
out all American Federation Of Labor
Longshoremen's bargaining units on
the West Coast.
3. Amendments preserving the in
tegrity of collective bargaining agree
ments lawfully entered into by bona
| fde labor organizations.
A. Procedurs4 sSanendments to elm
mate the outrageous delays that
| jeopardiZe the organizational gains
made by many labor unions.
5. While we have confidence in two
members of the present Board, un-
forseen events may change the make
up of the Board at any time, and the
logical reasons which originally led
the American Federation of Labor to
favor a five-man Board remain un-
changed.
In the efforts of the new members
of the Board to administer the Act
fairly and honestly, the American
Federation Of Labor pledges its
whole-hearted support.
Social Security
We favor the enactment of the two
Wagner Mccormack bills introduced
at the last session Of Congress with
certain changes to prevent conflict
with existing pension rights of public
employees. These measures would in
crease Federal grants to the poorer
States for old age assistance, estab
lish Federal standards prerequisite
to grants to States for old age assist
ance, extend coverage Of old age i'll
surance to millions of agricultural, do
mestic and other workers not now in

expanding the U. S. H. A. low-rent
housing program is responsible to a
large extent for the present acute and
critical shortage Of decent housing
for defense workers.
Again we urge Congress to extend
the framework of the United States
Housing Act to provide homes for
wage earners in defense industries
and at the same time assure adapt
ability Of such housing to the post
emergency needs Of low-income fami-
lies. 1t is Of vital concern to labor
that this program be developed
through local housing authorities
which have a thorough knowledge and
close understanding of the needs of
each community. Full use should be
made of the machinery of the U. S.
H. A. and full application of the
standards developed by the U. S. H.
A. on the basis of practical experience.
We also urge the extension Of the
migratory labor camp program Of the
Farm Security Administration and of
the low-cost rural housing programs
under the Bankhead- Jones Act and
United States Housing Act.
Un-American Activities
Events have proved that the need
of vigilant investigation and prompt
suppression of the activities Of direct
agents of hostile foreign governments
in our country and of fifth-columr
movements. We therefore recommend
that Congress provide adequate ap-
preparations for continuing the Dies
Committee and implementing the work

ton.
National Labor Relations Act
Amendments
The strenuous efforts made by the
American Federation of Labor in tn,
past three years to obtain Il change
in personnel of the National Labor
Relations Board have borne fruit. Two
former members of the Board whc
were considered biased by the Amcri
can Federation Of Labor have beer
replaced. There has been a partia
housecleaning of the staff of th'
Board
We are gratified by these develop
mentS but we maintain that the funda
mental provisions Of the Act must b,
safeguarded from possible future NAL

minimum Of Government interference.
With regard to Government labor
policies, experience in Great Britain
has shown that consultation with la
Dor and full representation of labor
on all agencies dealing with defense
production are vital factors in obtain
ing maximum cooperation. We will
continue to press for full representa-

Attempts to impose wartime

right Of collective bargaining guaran,
teed by the National Labor Relations
Act. 1t will oppose any move to i'm.

The American people know it is
just as essential for national defense
that the workers of the nation be well
fed, well-clothed, well-housed and il
good moral and physical health, as i
