DUT do not think that you are
ID going to have such an easy
time with the vivisectiOnists.
In the first place they enjoy
their deviltry.
In the second place they do not
care a rap what the public thinks.
In the third place they have
many OF you buffaloed into believ-
ing that their ssdIst pleasures are
a benefit to humanity.
And in the fourth place they are
OrganiZed,-better organized for
savagery than you are for civilized
sentiment, better organized for In
human cruelty than you are for
human sympathy and pity.
I And In the fifth place they work
in secret behind closed doors under
lock and key and bolt and bar.

You will have to use your mind
as well as your heart, friends, to

You will have to familiarize
yourself with all the fearful facts.
You will have to organize for

Art Museum Critic

Thomas Hart Benton. who

suffering imposed upon helpless
animals on the dissecting table
but they were nevertheless shock
ing and offensive 10 decent minded
people.
Those cruelties on the screen
have been largely ended.
The reform was practically COM
plete and almost immediate.
For this we must thank first,
the strong reaction of the public
against such crueIties.
Second, that we could see the
unpleasant sights of horses being
pitched over high precipices into
deep waters with heavy wagons
and equipment falling on top of
them.
We could see them halted In mid
flight by wires tied to their legs.
We could see them hog tied and
tumbled down steep entertainments
to their injury or death.
We did not have to draw deeply
on our Imagination.
And we we're not the kind of
mOrOns who liked that kind of
thing.
We were the kind of human be-
ings who disliked IL and disap-
proved of 1t and demanded its
cessation.
IVES, guess the chief reason for
i the reform was ourselves, gen.
tie folks.
But let us give due credit to the
picture producers too.
They did not like that kind of
cruelty either.
They probably thought they
were catering to the public taste
when they committed their atroc-
tiles.
They were probably happy to
find out that the public did not
have that kind of debased taste.
You know a lot of people make
the mistake of thinking that they
must get down to the low level OF
the public and are genuinely sur
prised to find out that they have
to exert themselves to the utmost
to get up TO the high standards
of public taste.
At any rate the producers very
promptly and willingly gave the
public the reform demanded and
ended cruelties on the screen.
The kind of thing that we pre-
sent to you today on this page OF
this chaste family journal Is a
thing of the past.
Let us, therefore, give the pro-
ducers a big hand for their kind
compliance with our requests and
their generous consideration for
our feelings.

AIINE-TENTHS of the whole
IN sale vivisectiOn that is prac-

entirely without beneficial result
OF any kind.
Thousands of helpless animals
every year are sacrificed to make
inhuman what should be the most
human,-the most humanitarian
profession on earth.
What is the matter with our
people that they do not put an end
TO this endless and needless tor
ture?
All that is necessary TO be done
I Is to pass laws allowing no indis-

every individual case, merely in
sisting that the object to be at
tanned by the torture In each
instance is a good and necessary

will be no greater than the essen

require.
That seems little enough for a
kind and sympathetic people to de-
mand who are so tenderhearted
so unwilling to tolerate even mo-
mentary misery. that they call out
the fire department to free an en-
tangled bird.
Can il be that we are kind

only affected by what we see and
that we have not the imagination
TO picture the horrors that we hear

Or can IL be that we are really
not so kindhearted after all but

WITNESS AT HEARING

Padgett. who was witness at
a hearing in Federal Court during
the Ford strike charged that he
was beaten by members of the
Go and the Communist Party
outside the Federal Building.
Bartling. a timekeeper, charged
he was beaten when he attempted
10 pass through the picket lines
during the strike.
The suit alleges that the Com
munist Party controls the CIO
and that the Go and the party
are aiding the foreign policy OF
Russia by calling "abortive and
unnecessary strikes to cripple ma
tional defense.

FOR BETTER HOMEMAKING

Now is the time to start making
plans for color schemes for the sum-
mer rooms. There is magic in slip
covers when it comes to enlivening a
room. They can harmonize the mis-
celaneous furnishings, they can
transform living room white ele-
plants, protect furniture or can
double for upholstery the year round.
Cotton has been conceded as one Of
the best slip cover materials be-
cause it is durable and washable, and
it also comes in many attractive col
ors and designs in a wide price range.
The first thing to look for in slip
cover cottons is a firm close weave.
Such a fabric will hold its shape, tailor
well and keep dust from sitting thru
to the furniture. Plain materials are
especially good on large pieces and
in rooms where there is already lot
of pattern in the wallpaper, curtains
or rugs. If you are making a slip
cover for the first time you will find
plain material easier to work with.

NO, FREEZING OF WAGES

THE unsound notion that wages should be
frozen" and should not advance with expand
ing production and profits is given we'll de-
served wallop by the American Federation of La
Dor in the American Federationist for May.
The Federation makes it clear that it is labor's
position that proposals for the freezing of wages
are grossly unfair. In an article entitled "Should
Wages Be Frozen" the Federation discusses the
question and answers it with an emphatic "No''
can adequate living for every American citizen
is our country's obligation-and it's opportunity
the Federation says. "Therefore labor asks that
this be our national policy: "No freezing of wages,
but progressive wage increases according to each
company's ability to pay, as determined by COL
lective bargaining based on facts"
Admitting that there is danger of fast-rising
prices and living costs in the defense boom, the
Federation point out that "the danger is not in
wage Increases
Wages are an important cost, we agree it
is declared. "They actually make up 16 cents on
the dollar! But let us not magnify the 16 cents
and forget the "a cents"
The A. F. of l.. position on the subject is sum-
married. as follows:
Freezing wages-stoppng all wage increases
to prevent runaway prices is not necessary.
Such action would be grossly unfair to workers,
whose chances for improvement would be stopped
while employers continue to make high profits"

William j. Donovan, General
President of the Laundry Workers
International Union, started his
Labor career in 1905 by organiz-
ing teamsters in the city of Chi
cago. In September of 1887, Mr..
Donovan became President of
Local No. 46 of the Laundry Work
ers' International Union. 1t had
very few members and was in debt
over $4,000. There are more than
10000 dues paying members in that
Local. 1t was principally due to
the successful organization of this
Local Union that the Laundry
Workers International Union was
established.
In September, 1889, Mr.. Donovan
was reelected by a referendum vote
of 10 to 1. Through his long ex-
perience in organization work and
his aggressive methods in Unioniz-
ing laundries the Union has been
placed on a sound membership ard
financial basis.
His address is: Mr.. William j.

Buddy Poppy Sale
Endorsed BY Green

at gives me pleasure to endorse
the 1941 Poppy Sale of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars and to recommend
the cause it represents to the people
of the United States.
We who labor are being made es-
pecially aware at this moment of the
constructive value of our work in the
life and defense of the nation. We are
proud of our work and service. But
we cannot forget that they also serve
who only stand and watt If we to-
day labor as free Americans our privi-
lege is due, under God, largely to
those who active service was rendered
once and supremely many years ago,
and whose service since then has been
to wait and give to their fellowAmer-
leans the example of sacrifice cheer
fully made and of sutferings borne in
patience"

Whats Behind Ii?
By RUTH TAYLOR

Whose game are you playing when
you pass on as gospel truth the state
ment you just heard-without veri-
flying it?
The enemy without has boasted Of
his propaganda machine. Are you one
of the stooges that make his machine
go?
Or do you-when an authoritative
sounding statement is made-look be-
hind the air of positiveness and say
to yourself-"Now, why was that
said? Who is that going to help?
What is behind it? Is that logical ?"
Let them call you a doubling Thom-
as if they will. Maybe your CONVEX
sation won't be as exciting as if you
passed on each new "fact" you hear.
Buff you watch your step-you'll
find that when you do speak, you'll get
attention because you'll have acquired
the reputation for accuracy.
Remember that the first attack of
any despot is on the mind. Hitler has
boasted that if he can break down
morale, he can conquer a people. Get
people jittery with rumors or dire
happenings, or the omniscience and
Of an enemy-and at
the right moment they can be swept
with panic.
Labor is at the front today just as
our shock troops of the first line
trenches We're generation ago, and
it is up to Labor to be on guard. The
first attack will not come as q chal-
lenge. 1t will be insidious propaganda
and trouble-mongering - vague ru-
mors of enslavement and loss of
|rights-of trickery tending to tear
down Labor's hard-won gains. 1t will
come in the guise of and from some
one claiming to be interested in saw
ling our democratic institutions-but
whatever the color Of the sleeps COW
ering, it will be propaganda for dicta-
torship if it stirs up class or race
hatreds and plays upon self lf-interest.
Labor has gone on record where it
|stands-tirst against foreign ideol-
logies, second for all aid to Britain,
and third for support of our govern
ments defense program. 1t has picked
its own leaderS-let those leaders set
tie around the conference table any
differences that may arise-and let
Labor stick to its job on guard at all
| times not to state or pass on rumors
which may arouse fear or hatred of
iany group.

TO ALL MEN OF GOOD WILL

(From the Journal of Electrical WOrkers)
NOW is the hour in which all men of good will
~ should draw together. There is much to dis
courage. The unscrupulous tactics of fascists,
Nazis, communists and their unholy alliance, in
an effort to destroy the democratic way of life,
are nothing short of appalling. The reading of
a book like Jan Valtin's "Out of the Night casts
shadows over minds for weeks afterwards. Pott-
ngs, murders, systematic brigandage, forged pass
ports the hypocritical mouthing Of ideas-all this
is sickenng to men of good will.
But men of good will need not despair Brig
ands, tricksters, murderers and traitors who take
up the sword soon perish by the sword. They de-
stroy themselves, and they destroy each other.
Humanity has to go forward; society has to reach
some form of stable organization.
All these issues have nothing to do with con-
servatism or radicalism. The situation has moved
beyond these schoolboy interpretations. 1t be-
comes question of preserving civilization against
the madmen who would destroy it. Let all men
of good will draw together and defend the eternal
VeritieS.

RAISING HEALTHY CHILDREN

THE Children's Bureau Of the United States Gov
crnment was established 25 years ago, for the
purpose of checking the increase in infant NOR
taty, due to the boil weevl in the South and lack
of housing and medical care of infants in the
North. In 1916, out of every 1000 babies born
alive 1O6 died before the first birthday. In 1899
the rate had been cut to 50, a gain of more than
lOOf6
Miss Katherine Lenroot has been Chief of the
ChiIdren's Bureau for many years and there is no
valuable service to humanity, and been given
credit for it. The Government, the medical pro
fession, and health societies of the nation are
unanimous in their praise and appreciation of Miss
LenrOOt.
Thus, while the war goes on bringing distress
to millions, a quiet and persistent movement to
save the lives of millions Of children goes on it's
way, protecting their health during childhood and
guaranteeing them better health in the years to
come.

AIDING DEFENSE PRODUCTION

WITH defense production a paramount consider
alton, anything that helps speed output is
welcome. Adequate labor supply ranks with pre-
vention of work stoppages in increasing pro
duction. Where men are needed, older men car
often fill the need, and it is encouraging to learr
that progress in this regard is being made
Such information comes from several sources
the latest being Paul V. McNutt, Federal Security
Administrator, who has just informed Senator
James M. Mead Of New York that in the last nine
months there has been general realization of en-
ployers' requirements with respect to age of skill
ed workers securing employment
ut is reported from almost all states and in al
most all industries that skilled workers. especially
in the metal working occupations and other occu-
patons for which there is great demand, can tind
employment no matter how old they are as long
as they are physically able to perform the duties
required of them" McNutt told Mead

McNUTT URGES EFFORT TO FIND
JOBS FOR WORKERS OVER 40

Washington, D. C. CLASSIFICATION
to find work for unemployed workers
over 40, particularly during National
Employment Week, was urged by Fed
eral Security Administrator Paul V.
McNutt in a statement issued here.
McNutt called upon the 4,500 full
and part-time state employment Off
ces which are coordinated under the
L. S. Employment Service to unite
with local war veterans and other
civic organizations in efforts to place
older workers during National En-
ployment Week, designated by Presi-
Dental proclamation as the week of
May 4 to 10.
''ln view of the greatly increased
demand for workers with certain
skills,' said Administrator McNutt.
"employers needing help to fill defense
contracts should reexamine the quail
tications of these older men and
women so that valuable workers will
not be barred from employment.
Among workers past 40," he said,
"are many World War veterans, men
who now average as years of age. AS
the President has stated, these men
have a special appeal to our national
sense of responsibility, particularly
during this time Of national prepared
ness"
McNutt stated that men experienced
in the field Of airplane manufacture
ing, shipbuilding, and tool and die
making are particularly needed at this
time.
