Labor HAS Something TO Celebrate

Labor Day has always been a
sort of combination of Thanks
giving Day and Demonstration
Day for organized labor. Labor
met. paraded, celebrated to mark
its progress and demonstrate its
strength.
On both counts there is special
reason for it to mark the day this
year. More men are organized in
labor unions than ever before the
best estimate being about l6000,-
00O With their families and de
pendents, that makes a sizabie
chunk of the whole people. Organ
lied labor's strength was never SO
great.
On the other hand, never has
organized labor owed so much to
the society in which it has its
being. The high state of organiza-
ton which has been achieved is
due in large measure to the favor
inc climate established by the fed
eral government. 1t is under the
social conditions set up by our
democratic republic that organized
labor has been able to reach its
present impressive stature.
It need only lock across the ocean
to see the condition of its brothers
in toll when free democratic gov
ernment has been oYerthroWn. The
workers of a whole continent are
either bound to the iron wheel OF
Nazism, without freedom to organ
ize or have a voice in their oWn
conditions. or else are ground be-
meath that wheel in a condition
which comes SO perilously close tc
slavery as to make one Shudder.
Labor therefore on its own day
when it celebrates its own power
and achievements, owes a sober
thought and a moment of dedica-
ton to the Republic whose princi-
les of freedom have made and kept
labor free.
Organized labor is coming into
period when, its chief obstacles sur
mounted, it must think increasing

BIG SHOTS SHOULD REMEMBER
AMERICANS RULE THEMSELVES

Mr. Ickes' chief deputy and whipping
boy, who had to take over the Job when
public criticism got too tough for his
boss to stand. should remind both him
self and his immediate superior that
Americans are not the type . be told
you've got to quit using gasoline" and
answer meekly. Yes Sir" It is nation
al characteristic that they insist upon
asking, "Why?'
They did ask, ''Why?e. and right there
was where confusion and dissension be-
gan. Mr. Ickes didn't tell them why. Mr..
Davies told them that he was telling them
why but he used such misleading lodges
as the 10 days supply fiaseo to do it.
Every time he quoted figures, he left off
some other figures which altered matters
considerably. " e o m e b o d Y else
brought the other figures to light, he
merely screamed Sabotage
On top of it all. Mr.. Ickes remarked
that he thought the Pacific coast ought
to do without gasoline, even though there
was no shortage there, simply IN order
to suffer along with people on the At
lantic coast.
If there is any sabotage IN the criti-
cism leyeed at Mr. Ickes and Mr.. Davies
and their gasoline troubles Il is sabotage
induced and encouraged By thei own Of
ficial stupidity in undertaking the intelli-
gence of free, democratic people.
The people are entitled TO the truth.

HOLLYWOOD. Aug. 29.-No mat
ter what's happening in the rest
of the world. there's music in the
Hollywoods. Nothing brightens UP
the place quite SO much as the
insistent tinkling of rehearsal pia-
amos, the sWarms Of dancing girls

mers as spectacular sets are built
All over the lots, people go about
their jobs humming next months
song hits. So let's visit a few stages.
On RKO's New York Street Ray
Bolger is practicing a dance that
could be done only in the movies,
because itss two blocks long. Broke
but ight-hearted, he starts to a
symphony concert by tumbling
down a flight of steps to the side
walk AS he rises, motorcycle
splashes through a puddle, and
Bolger's leap begins his meandering
dance along the street. He jumps
to catch the ball a kid is bouncing;
pauses to take a flower from a ven
doris basket; starts across the
street and retreats before a charg-
ing taxi, proceeds again and dodges
woman with bundles; on the
sidewalk again, he mimics a passing
drunk for a few steps; blindly fol-
lows a beautiful girl and gets
smacked by a revolving door; poses
on a poster until a cop goes by.
Then he sees a truck bearing down
on a woman, and Bolges ends his
song and dance by yelling Hey

number for -Four Jacks and a

civilian Allen White)
Peru and Ecuador are at it again and
each country claims the other is the ag-
greSSor. 5rim-yisaged W. is threatening
to wrinkle up his front again and devour
thousands of more or less innocent citi-
zens who have done nothing to deserve
manning and murder except to live in
Ecuador and Peru Perhaps also they
might have inherited little scrapping
blood. Perhaps they may psychologically
nourish the feeling that something is
gained by knocking the bean off your
neighbor and that war is noble instead
Of q most degrading business.
At any rate, Ecuador and Peru are
going to it and unless that little war is
stamped out the sparks from the World
War are liable to catch in South America
At best. South America has no great love
for arbtrament as a way of settling hu
man affairs South America is charged
with a good deal of rich southern blood,
and the love of peace gets not much more
than lip service in many a country down
there. The Latin nations have little ability
to organize and bring peace into reality
by giving and taking among neighbors.
IN general, South America does not have
philosophical understanding that it is
better for the digestion to swallow an
insult than TO get bullet in your belly.
So they cry Peace, Peace,' and there
