The months directly ahead demand that the
Nations wage earners, employers and all
other groups cooperate as never before in
the interest of the national well-being and in
the interest of national defense. The wage
earners of America will do their part whole
heartedly They will join all other groups
in the patriotic effort, that we may be pre-
pared to face the world with confidence.
THE Department recognizes that immediate
expansion of apprenticeship, particularly
in the national defense industries, is an in
tegral part of the Nations defense program,
and its Federal Committee on Apprenticeship
is at work on the problem Industry and labor
are working with the Department on an
agreed plan the training of future skilled
workers r standard methods without Gov
ernment subsidies and through carefully
worked out and tested methods of training.
The active cooperation of employers and
labor in a unified Nationwide program OF
true apprenticeship is making significant
contribution to the fulfillment of the pre-
paredness program and will materially assist
in meeting future bottlenecks in production.
Expansion of these activities will provide
industry with an adequate supply OF skilled
mechanics and give to our youths an oppor-
tunity of becoming competent craftsmen, en-
able those already partially trained through
employment in occupations requiring nar-
row range of skills to secure an opportunity
Evening star., 1941-01-20

to complete an apprenticeship in the short
est possible time and become skilled workers,
and facilitate the orderly absorption of ap-
prentices into industry.
The Department itself, as an operating
enterprise has been considerably overhauled
in the past eight years with the view to
making it more effective for carrying out
the underlying purpose as expressed in the
basic act-to foster, promote, and develop
the welfare of the wage earners OF the United
States Procedures have been simpllfed,
duplication of effort and responsibilities has
been eliminated, bureaus having different
functions but utilizing the same material for
their information have learned the art Of
having one common pool for statistical and
economic information. Inspection and in
vestigation services also have been pooled so
that no duplication of effort or waste of
motion takes place. Business management
has been centralized, and all this has been
planned for the purpose of getting the best
and most complete results on the small
amount of money spent, but functional
organization and approaches have been main
tanned.
EVEN the close relationship of the depart
ment with the activities Of the Social Sc
curity Board in the field Of unemployment
compensation and old-age insurance. and
with the Labor Relations Board have been
developed on cooperative basis, so that IL
is pretty general testimony that there is no
conflict in these fields, but rather co-opera-
ton Basic experience and information upon
which these two great enterprises are founded
springs, of course, directly from the Labor
Department, and the departments interest
and concern in these fields, which affect wage
earners exclusively, will continue to grow and
develop.
Two types of activity are appearing clearly
In the work of the department.; one, the in
vestigation of situations that appear unfavor-
able to working people, reporting upon these
findings and devising a program with con-
sultation and advice to overcome the dis
advantages found under the investigation.
For these services, the departments personnel
should be sympathetic alert and imaginative
to find and foresee those conditions which
are adverse to the life of wage earners and
can be corrected. The other type of activity
lies in the field of the enforcement of statute
the Public Contracts Act, the Davis-Bacon
Act, the Wage and Hour Act. In all OF these,
the spirit and purpose of the law must be
fairly and Justly interpreted and applied, with
every opportunity to all parties to have their
grievance or their objection fairly and judi
cially considered.
Thus one type of activity in the Depart
ment of Labor strengthens the other. The
realistic necessities of enforcement and ad-
ministrative work serve to make the research
and investigation more realistic and more
practical While the unfavorable conditions
found during investigation serve to illuminate
and humanize the administration and en-
forcement of statutes the effort throughout
is to build gradually democratic system OF
order based on truth, cooperation and JUS
tice, out of which peace and freedom in this
important sector of human affairs will estab-
uSh themselves.

Canton, Oho May i; | hi~

the r,Cst Of us. Last week. before
singing practice. a few of us got
together and went horseback rid

who is home from Camp Shelby.
1t was good seeing him and it's
too bad that we didn't have more
doings during your leave.
After singing practice, we had
a special meeting. We elected
delegates to the Convention. They
are: John Rochus. Helen Rel
nerth and Henry Thesis. The al
ternates are: John Fulz and Ida
Zielasko.
Last Saturday night we were
supposed to sing at the karpa-
then Concert. But since not
enough Juniors showed up. we
didn't sing. Those of US that did
go had a good time. 1t was Swell
seeing some OF the Jrs. from Sa-
lem and Alliance. It's too bad
that we can't be a little bit more
sociable. You've got nice gang.
How about it Johnny F.: Any
thing for a little bit of gossip.
Just as history repeats itself,
so do engagements. This time it
was Dorothy Stoff. The lucky
guy is Jack Boylan. All the luck
and happiness in the world to
both of you. but don't leave us
too soon, for we'll miss you Dot.
Quite a few of the Juniors at
tended the Mother and Daugh-
ter Banquet at the church. 1t was
a nice affair and all of them en-
joyed being there with their
mothers. Don't forget to attend
the Banquet which is being given
at the club this Sunday.

Dir Mcin Nolk". Even our direc-
tor is proud OF this eifort-anJ
that's saying something.
Nor can we forget to mention
the S. S. karpathen Gemischter
Choir OF Canton, for they are 60
ing to honor us with an important
part on the program.
And the speeches will be short
Md the speakers have already
indicated that they will appreci-
ate this even more than the audi
ence. Rev. John Deutschlander,
Jr.. will speak in German. DR..
Fred !. Schustcr. also OF Cleve-
land will be the English speaker.
Both of these men are talented.
Hearing them will certainly be
inspiring to all OF us.
Oh. there are many other items
on this program. They are all to
be found in the German columns.
The Salem Saxons will play base
ball games both days. victims OF
challenges by Cleveland East and
an Akron team.
One other very important pro-
gram item we must mention. We
should all be on hand to take part
in this. At 9:5O A. M. of the very
first day. just before the start of
the convention meetings. a short
20 minute to half hour service will
be held at Our Lutheran Church.
At this service the Salem Damen-
chor Will sing. And we'll start a
great day off by giving thanks.
yes. just for being alive: and
giving thanks, too. for the pri-
vilege of living in free country
where meetings such as ours is
going to be are yet not only per-
mitted. but endorsed whole-heart
edly.
What else goes to make up a
great convention Well, you'll
find it in Salem.
Enough now OF. these details
except for this: Come to Salem
on Decoration Day. Pry yourself
away from. home il must be. Come
prepared to give a smile. a hand
shake. and d joyful "Griiss Gott'
to every Saxon you meet. Come
in that frame OF mind. And when
as one we arise arm in arm to
sing "Siebenbiirgen' and God
Bless America to depart again
each to our daily tasks. you'll
know the meaning of the tear in
your friends eye. and experience
again that fullness of heart which
inevitably eliminates in that
lump in your own throat.
