as we are making no plans to solve
the unemployment which will return
to plague us after the defense pro-
gram is over. We must have democ-
racy in industrial relations which
means labor unions. We must have
democracy in ownership "a wide
spread ownership of industry by the
people through co-operatives and other
means.
''In the United States" Mr.. Myers
further asserted, 1--WE need more de-
mocracy, not less. We need to encour-
age the extension of the principle of
democracy in the growth of employ
ers' associations, farm organizations,
labor unions and consumer co-opera-
tives, and the joint conference of those
groups for the common good. With
such wider development of democracy
in economic as we'll as political life,
and with the outstanding ability of
business men and engineers,
there is every reason to believe that
America provided that we stay out
of war-can give the world an ex-
ample of successful, efficient, peaceful
democracy to which the whole world
will look for proof that democracy is
the only basis for a moral, happy and
efficient human society,""

THIS BILL SHOULD PASS

Postal employees in all branches are
asking public support for a bill in
Congress to establish longevity pay OF
service promotions. The bill, intro
duced by Senator James NJ. Mead of
New York and Representative J. Har-
old Flannery of Pennsylvania, de-
serves the favorable consideration of
every citizen.
At the present time, a postoffice en-
ploye reaches his maximum salary
grade in five years and from then on
may work for 25, 80 or even 40 years
without single increase. There have
been no increases in postal pay since
1925.
H. r. 1057-as the bill is called
would set up a series of increases so
that postal employees who have given
ten years Of service would receive a
salary increase of $190 a week and
an additional $1.9O a week every fifth
year thereafter until he has served
continuously for 80 years and has
reached the maximum salary.
The proposed increases are GER
tainly modest and do not seem too
much to ask. The postal workers
unions ask, "Would you work without
raise for 25, 80, or 40 ?" in
giving their reasons why they believe
the bill should be passed Their argu-
ments are sound and it is to be hoped
win general public backing for H.
R. 1857.

MORE DEMOCRACY, NOT LESS

In these times when various pro-
posals are heard for the curtailment
of democratic methods and processes,
it is well that voices are raised in
militant championship not only of the
preservation of democracy but also of
its broadening and extension. Such a
voice is that of the Rev. James Myers,
industrial secretary of the Federal
Council of Churches, and man highly
regarded by organized labor.
Speaking recently in Buffalo, Mr..
Myers said that "the precious heritage
of political democracy is not enough, !"
and added:
Democracy must find expression
also in social conditions, in labor re-
lations, and in ownership. We do not
have democratic society so long as
slums, poverty, sharecropping, and
race discrimination exist, and so long

Action against the three locals was
brought by the federation's executive
council in February, when it passed
a resolution ordering a referendum to
determine whether the charters should
be revoked. 1t was charged that the
locals had followed the Communist
party line on virtually every issue.

revocation will be accepted and then

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

James Macdonald, in special cable
to the New York Times said that en-
dorsement of the declaration scame
after speeches by men and women,
educators and workmen, political
leaders, craftsmen and spokesman for
mine workers, clerks and lock laborers
and by members of Parliament"
"Some speakers Macdonald re-
ported, expressed themselves in ia
vor of the Labor party's declaration
without qualification. Others said they
approved it but thought it was not
strong enough"
1t is of interest that the conference
remained faithful to democratic prin-
ciples, despite bitter passions aroused
by the war. 1t permitted adverse ex-
preston of opinion and listened with
respect to a speaker whose views it
strongly disapproved
This speaker was Rhys Davies,
member of Parliament, who declared
that he was not defeatist and had
fought Nazism inside and outside Par
lament but asked the convention to
appeal to the goodwill of men and
women and to rise above the general
clamor of fight to the finish.
While the Labor party conference
was in session, Ernest Bevin, labor
leader and Minister of Labor, voiced
the will of the British masses to vic
tory in a broadcast to the National
Conference of Social Work at Atlantic
City, N. J. He said British workers
rejected appeasement because 1--WE will
not be driven back into slavery"
Bevin added that British labor stood
whole -heartedly in the front ranks of
the fight against Nazi aggression be-
cause it has not lost faith "in the pos
sibility of establishing sound social
conditions for the people of the world" !"

UNIONS ASK RULING.
ON LABOR PEACE ACT.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) In a
petition for a review of lower court
decision, three American Federation
of Labor unions have asked the Su-
preme Court to rule on the Wisconsin
Employment Peace Act" said by its
sponsors to have been designed to pro-
mote better labor relations.
The unions were enjoined by the
Wisconsin Employment Relations
Board from picketing and boycotting
the Plankinton House and Kilbourn
Hotel in Milwaukee during a labor
dispute in November, 1889, and the
board was later upheld by the State
Supreme Court.

A Russian engineer, Nicholas Le-

been showing at Marseille, France, a
locomotive built along revolutionary
lines which he said is capable of a
speed of some 218 miles an hour. The
engine uses a secret fuel said to com
prise mercury, oil and water, although
the mercury is not lost during oper-
alton. Oil consumption was said to be
exceedingly low.

British labor is against any COM
promise ending of the present war. 1t
believes Hitlerism must be destroyed
or made powerless before there can
be any real peace in the world.
Labor's stand was made clear to all
by the action of the recent fortieth
annual conference of the British La
Dor party in voting by an overwhelm-
ing majority that any comprimise
peace or peace by negotiation with
Germany and Italy was impossible.
The meeting was attended by La
borite members of the cabinet, men,
gers of the House of Commons and
delegates representing every trade
union in Great Britain and so un-
doubtedly spoke for organized labor,
on the economic as we'll as political
field. Delegates represented from one
to more than 10000 votes each.
How the conference felt on the ques-
tion of compromise peace was set
forth in the following paragraphs of
the declaration approved by a vote of
2,43O,000 to 10000:
Gwen now, when the Axis powers
have revealed their nature in all its
barbarism and brutality, few faint
and unrepresentative voices hint at
the possibility of compromise with
the dictators. We of the British labor
movement are astonished that any
such idea should anywhere be enter
tanned.
"We declare once more that we can
have no part, directly or indirectly,
in policy of accommodation and that
the necessary prelude to just peace
is total victory. 1t would be folly and
betrayal of those for whom we speak
to put any trust in peace IN when
Hitler and Mussolini were parties.

1t does not include added employ
ment in construction, manufacture OF

CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things. sometimes
profoundly, sometimes fippantly, some
times recklessly.

John G. Winant has come home to
tell story-and that story is going
to have its very definite effect upon
YOU.
Now the coming home of the man
Winant-the long, angling, Lincoln
| like Winant-is an interesting event
Winant was one of the men to give
early form and purpose to the pro-
gram of labor legislation and that
has eliminated in such institutions
and agencies as the National Labor
Relations Board, the Social Security
Board and others.
He put into the early and pioneer
administrative policies those elements
that took account of human beings
and their everyday needs, their ways
of thinking and their problems in life
He was sound liberal, without any
of the rattle-trap and fuzzy trim
mings of the professional liberal, the
intellectual adventurer. At the end of
those long legs were feet that planted
themselves squarely on the ground.
So it is this man, who thinks in
terms of the common man, who knows
the intricate problems of the labor
unions, who has in his heart the aspi-
rations of you and your neighbor
around the corner, that has come home
to tell the President story about
England and the fates of war.
1t is clear that, with eyes piercing
through to main issues, this ambas-
sador to what used to be called the
Court of St. James, where bank rolls
and tail coats were once the signals
of entree, John G. Winant has come
to tell the President why the United
States and her l21 American ally ma
tions must hurry into the vortex of
war.
You can't laugh off the seriousness
of that. And you can know that Wi
nant doesn't bring a message like that
because HE likes war.
He brings it because there is vital
issue, clear as bell, upon which
there is only one right side. And that
it is essential to choose that right
side, at whatever may be the cost, or
lose all chance thereafter to take any
side out of free choice.
He brings it because we must
defend freedom, or lose it.
John Winant thinks with the mind
of an American who sees back to the |
fiintlocks of Bunker Hill, on down
through the years, where always the
issue of freedom against dictatorship,
IN one form or another, has been a
cause for struggle and conflict.
He sees the long line of that con-
fiict, through wars and strikes and |
the enlargement of education-in the
struggles for better wages, for better
homes, for establishment of new
rights that has to come as new ways
offered the chance for new expressions.
1t is all one kind of struggle, with
many manifestations, many kinds of
fighting, many kinds of signs of prog
ress and victory.
