Some will say: "Whats the use Of organizing when

That world conditions are grave, there is no
discounting, but it is equally clear that workers

STILL FAR TO GO

A MEXICAN labor is still far from it's goal of
IA adequate food, clothing and homes for all, the
American Federation of Labor reminds the nation
in it's current Labor's Monthly Survey, the new
name of the Federation's Monthly Survey of
Business.
"Thousands of workers are still living below
the minimum necessary to support family IN
decency; our countrys first defense need is strong
healthy citizens" the Federation declares, citing
findings by authoritative organizations to show
that minimum subsistence budget for family
Of four today costs S1,354, while minimum
health and efficiency budget for a family of five
costs $2,056
The Federation goes on to point out that as
The cost Of living increases, wage gains will be
necessary to maintain living standards. 1t en-
phaszes that the outlook for profits and production
this year 'clearly shows that industry will be able
to lift the standards of low paid workers.
But will industry increase pay, as undoubtedly
it is in position to do? That depends largely on
organization of labor. In strongly unionized in
dustries, wages will be increased. In industries
not well organized, increases will be slow in COM
ing. All of which, Of course emphasizes the need
of continued growth of union labor under the
American Federation of Labor banner.

Ill DICE,S STOCK SLuMPS

New York City.-New York's Little
Italy, in the lower East Side, is sour
ing on Benito Mussolini and his dis
astrous war against the British and
Greeks. Full-color photographs, bas-
relief plaques and plaster busts of
II Duce, which sold well before the
Greek and African campaigns, have
disappeared from shop windows of
Mulberry Bend, center of Little Italy.
Mussolini's loss of prestige is at
tributed to his military defeat and
also to the drastic reduction in i'm
ports from Italy since the beginning
of the war. Imported olive oil, cheese,
tomato paste and salami, prepared as
the Italians like them, are scarce and
advancing in price.

SANCTITY OF CONTRACTS
From the Shoe Workers. JournaD


THE Boot and Shoe Workers Union has been in
existence over forty-five years and are
very proud of our record for keeping inviolate
contracts which entered into between our
union and shoe manufacturers and with but few
exceptions the membership of our union has main
tained policy of strict adherence to local agree
ments as well as the regular union stamp arbi-
tratiOn contract.
And if at any time or place we find some of our
members causing a Stoppage of work or striking
in violation Of contract as officers of your
union must take appropriate disciplinary action
against those who may wifully violate not only
the contract but their obligation as members Of
the union.
We realize that at times some of our members
become impatient and demand immediate action
however, our contracts are very specific, and in
the event of failure to mutually agree on any mat
ter in dispute, provisions made for arbitration.
While arbitration may seem slow it has proven to
be more advantageous to employer and emplOye
than restoring to the strike method of settling
disputes. Strikes are costly and dangerous-the
employees never recover the lost wages and it is
also true that manufacturers in many instances
lose good accounts during strikes and try as they
may, they never are able to get them back. Thus,
as in all STRIKES both sides lose.

THE PICTURE CHANGES

since then
Advocates of the abolition Of child labor had
no at that hour but TO try to get through
a Constitutional amendment that would enable
states to outlaw the practice. For twenty years
the friends Of the children have broken then
hearts on the hard unfaith Of state legislatures
who have refused to ratify the amendment. 1t
was the only hope at that time to get the children
out of mine and factory
Now the picture changes. new Supreme
Court decision Ovcrrung the former cdict makes
Federal child labor laws valid and it is likely
that new Federal and state legislation will be
adopted and the remaining fragment Of child eX-
ploitaton will disappear from American life

CONSTRUCTIVE DECISIONS

'NHERE seems to be disposition among critics
of organized labor to hail the recent Supreme
Court decisions on picketing as setbacks to union
ism. AS matter of fact, they are nothing Of the
sort.
One decision held that state courts have a right
to issue njunctons in cases of pcketing inVolv-
ing violence. This should not be of any material
harm to labor. Unions that are careful to keep
clear of violence and the vast ma ority are, will
suffer no damage. 1t will put them on their guard
against violence, by members or sympathizers,
which in the long run is detrimental to the inter
ests Of labor.
The other decision upheld the right Of unions
to picket plants in which they have no members,
as a means of organizing. This right has been
under fire and the Supreme Court decision would
seem to settle it once and for all 1t will open
the way to wider and broader organization activi-
ties and should be of decided help to union prog
reSS.

THE SHIP THAT NEVER CAME IN

lHE SHlP THAT NENE CAME in
There's ship I've been told,
And its weighted with gold
That will come to each one someday.
If We'll watch and wait and trust in
fate.
That ship will be coming our way.
Long have | stood on the sandy shore,
Watching and waiting to see.
The ship that is promised to come
someday.
Coming to you and me.
Daily the ships go past me.
But none ever come to the shore.
Sadly think as they onward go.
Has mine gone on before.
My hair has grown silver with wait
ing,
My cheeks are hollow and thin.
But still | am watching and waiting,
For the ship that has never come in.
Urged on by fond ambitions I'll work
with all my might.
Till at-last through the mist and the
darkness.
My ship it will round into sight.

: COMMENT ON WORLD
: EVENTS

French trade unionists in govern
ment service are showing their oppo-
sition to the Petain regime by sys-
tenn of passive resistance and obstruc-
ton, it was reported by Henry Hauck
veteran French union member
When, after the military collapse
of France, Marshall Petain set up a
Fascist-like government at Vichy, he
appointed as his Minister of Labor
Rene Belin, an assistant secretary of
the Confederation Generate du Trav-
all, the central French labor body. An
account of the measure taken by Be-
lin was given in talk to the French
workers delivered over the British
radio by Hauck, a member for 1s
years of one of the unions dissolved
by Belin. In his talk, Hauck said:
an. Belin, former public servant
who without his Postal Workers I'm
ion and the French Confederation of
Trade Unions, would not have climbed
to his present position, is waging a
virulent attack against his comrades
whom he used as a jumping board"
X X X
Going on to describe Belin's tactics
and the reaction against them, Hauck
said
"He (Belin) has forbidden the var
ious officials unions to unite, as a
means of breaking their power. By
separating the workers Of public en-
terprises from those of private enter
prise he seeks to weaken the labor
movement as a whole. He places them
under the tutelage of the government
and would stide every activity on
their part.
"There is a special reason why the
measures are considered necessary by
the Men of Vichy. Among public Of
fcials is to be found the most active
opposition against the policy of the
pro- Nazis.
"Not only because school teachers.
postal employees, customs and treas
ury officials, with their old trade union
and republican traditions, are the
sworn enemies of Fascism, but also
because with their technical and ad-
ministrative knowledge, these groups
are indispensable to the Vichy and
German authorities and can therefore
be very serious hindrance.
x X X
"French public servants do not pro-
pose to allow themselves to be de-
prived Of their opportunities so easily
Hauck continued. "Many have for
months succeeded in hampering the
administration and in reducing their
German superiors and the Vichy min
listers to despair.
81 will give no particulars, but can
assure listeners that their helplessness
is the reason for the authorities vio-
lence in fighting this resistance. They
cannot remove the public servants be-
cause they need their technical knowl
edge and because the difficulties al
ready experienced would be increased
Immediately if the public servants
were to cease work altogether.
"That is why the Vichy authorities
are so furious, that is why they seek
to split the public servants organiza-
tions and make Of them obedient tools
to WELD with an iron fist.
"But in these designs the Vichy au-
thorities will be equally as unsuccessful
as in past attempts. French civil serv-
ants know that the iron fist of the
government is really made of card

involuntary recognition by discred-
tied government Of their love for their
country and of their hatred Of Fas-
