Roosevelt Declares Welfare of Masses

peal to all persons in the United
States to give one hundred per cent
support to the national Defense pro-
gram and aid to Great Britain fea-
tured the address of President Roose-
welt over the three major broadcast
ing systems.
The President declared the ade-
quate development Of defense at home
and aid to Britain required united ef-
fort by management, labor and all
other citizens.
He denied the Administration had
any intention of sending an expedi-
tionary force abroad and reasserted
his declaration that social welfare
gains must not be sacrificed in carry
ing out the defense program.
Highlights of President Roosevelt's
address follows:
The nub of the whole purpose Of
YOUR President is to keep you now,
and your children later, and your
grandchildren much later, out of a
last-ditch war for the preservation of
American independence and all of the
things that American independence
means to you and to me and to ours.

100000 Jobless
Get Work In Year
Labor Department States
Non-Agriculturdl Workers
Total 36.535.0OO

Washington, D. C.-The Depart
ment of Labor reported that in No
vember non-agricultural employment,
exclusive of the armed forces, reached
36,535, 900, over 100000 greater than
in November 1889.
According to the department nearly
100000 more workers were employed
outside of agriculture in November
than in October. The gain was de-
scribed as remarkable" in view Of
the fact that invariably since 1929
non-agricultural employment has de-
clined in November. The average de-
cline in November for the preceding
eleven years, it was pointed out, has
been 100000.
In commenting on the gain the de-
partment said that one of the pre-
dominant factors in sustaining the
level of non-agricultural employment
was the contraseasonal gain of 81 900
workers in manufacturing industries.
Normally factory employment de-
clines by about 100000 at this season.
EiHployHleHt Ill "iioAcsdie anu le-
tail trade increased seasonably by ap-
proximately 10000 and mines en-
ployed about 5000 additional work
ers. Employment on construction
projects showed a small gain. Fed
eral, State and local government en-
ployes, excluding the armed forces,
declined about 5000, transportation
and utility companies reported a de-
cline of $4,000 and in the group of
finance and miscellaneous services a
decrease of 10000 was. shown.

Never before since Jamestown and
Plymouth Rock has our American
civilization been in such danger as
now.
The Nazi masters of Germany have
made it clear that they intend not
only to dominate all life and thought
in their own country, but also to en-
slave the whole of Europe, and then
to use the resources Of Europe to
dominate the rest of the world.
The history of recent years proves
that the shootings and the chains and
the concentration camps are not
simply the transient tools but the
very altars of modern dictatorship.
They may talk of ''new order in
the world but what they have in
mind is only a revival of the oldest
and worst tyranny. In that there is
no liberty, no religion, no hope.
The proposed new order" is the
very opposite of United States of

Trenton, \. J.-Do you know Shell

name in the Herald and had heard
his name spoken many times, | GER
tainly would be pleased to meet him.
Well | got my wish and met him for
the first time at the 1908, \. 3. of

Since that time | have never ceased
to respect and admire him. His kindly
manner, his conscientious and con-
ism had won for him the faith and

There was no President Franklin
D. Roosevelt 80 years ago to give the
green light to the workers to organ
ize and to insist that the organized
workers get a just deal from courts
Of justice. Many were the raw deals
handed to the workers by judges, who
got their jobs because they could be
counted on by the predatory interest
to keep the workers in subjection.
This resulted in individual members
who at all times, in all places, always
held the cause of unionism high and
perservered constantly to instill in
others an absorbing desire to advance
the cause of labor in both the indus
trial and legislative field to enthuse
them to greater efforts to bring about
better life for the workers.
There was no social security laws,
no old age pensions, no liability COM
pensation laws when Shell Moore first
labored in the cause of labor. Instead
there was the blacklist and many
were the union members who had to
leave their home towns seeking work
and even being forced out Of their
trade altogether because Of their
union activities. And those for whom
they made the sacrifices did not al
ways appreciate them

an unwelcome task is, in itself, proof
that this rule is very unpopular and l

Due to the fact that it is easier to

with the requirement that one inclined

Railroad Workers
Awarded Increase
Hike Totaling$7. 100000 Won
BY 10000 Under Wage
And Hour Law

Washington, D. C.--Wage rate in
creases totaling more than $7,O0O,OOO
for some 10000 railroad track work
ers, red caps, dining car walters, Of
fee and other employees will become
effective March 1, 1941 Colonel Philip
B. Fleming. Administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, announced.
The wage increase was ordered in
approving a recommendation by the
railroad carrier industry committee,
appointed under the Federal Fair La
Dor Standards Act. After an extern
sive investigation Of wages paid by
American railroads, the committee
under the Craftsmanship of Frank P.
Graham, president Of the University
of North Carolina, recommended es-
tablishment of a minimum wage of sc
cents an hour for employees of trunk
line railroads and 33 cents for short
lines.
"About $4,000 of the one million
or more persons employed by the
trunk line railroads and the Pullman
Company, the Railway Express
Agency, car loan companies and ter
minal companies will receive a wage
increase under the 36 cent minimum" i"
Col. Fleming said. "Some 5000 of
the 21,OO0 employees of the short lines
will be affected by the 33 cent mini
mum rates. AS carloadings are rising,
the number of workers who will re-
ceive wage increases on March l is
probably larger than these figures
which are on the basis of studies
made in 1889.
