countries are breeding grounds for war.
 Almost all the nations of the world have joined the I.L.O. The United States became member in 1884, by a joint resolution of Congress and exc cutive action by President Roosevelt. Besides branch offices in China, France, Great Britain, India, and Japan, the International Labor Or ganization has an office in Washing ton, D. C., at 734 Jackson Place. There is far-fung system of national correspondents and war has not weak ened this network. The number of correspondents actually has been in creased since the war began. Mem bers of the Geneva staff are not only in Montreal, but one has gone to Sweden, for example, another to Baghdad, another to Brazil, another to Greece, and another is to go to South Africa. To the Montreal Office under the leadership of Edward J. Phelan falls the whole task of or ganizing contacts and relations with Branch Offices and Correspondents.

Work of LILO. Is Continuing

Last week it was pointed out that the International Labor Organization had moved a few months ago from Geneva, Switzerland, to 3480 Univer- sity Street, Montreal, Canada, in order to be free to go on with its work. What is the purpose of that work?
 Its purpose is to make peace secure through the establishment of social justice in all the nations of the world.
 The work of the I.L.O. is based on the realization that overworked, |under-paid labor is an unstable basis on which to build world peace, that countries which try to afford their workers civilized conditions of life suffer from competition with sweated labor in backward countries, that the resulting economic conflicts between

WHY | AM A LABOR
 UNIONIST
By FRED L. CARVER (HOILysCOOd. Calif.)

Y CARRY a card because 1t carries A me into the hearts and thought and sympathetic understanding of millions of other average human beings with problems like my own. My card guar antees me a respectful hearing at all times from my employer. It guaran- tees me living wage, decent working conditions and time to enjoy my home and family. It entities me to the bene- fits of knowledge and experience ac- quired by my fellow-craftsmen. It gives me social contacts I enjoy. It creates within me confidence, good fel- lowship and a strong sense of security and well-being.
 It promotes the brotherhood of man through honest work, fair bargaining, Tive and let live" and just reward for all.
 It advances patriotism, elevates my standards of thought and living, per- mits me time for cultural pursuits and spiritual thinking.
 It stands for self-support and mutual advancement, which means intending progress.
 It puts the shoulder of experience and mutual assistance behind the weaker links in the chain of life and keeps the pace a steady one for all
 It makes understandable and unfor- gettable the brotherhood of man. There can be no forgotten men in such universal brotherhood.
 l carry card because believe that, if the Carpenter of Nazareth were here today, He to would carry one, thus helping to make practical, through true trade unionism, the precepts He laid down for all mankind 2,OOO years ago.
 These are the reasons why I am labor unionist.

WHY I USE UNION
 SERVICES By ISABEL DUNN 
 (OGkIGnd, C0lif.)

THERE is no class of employers
 A who can so heedlessly condemn workers to starvation wages as fellow workers and their families. There are millions of us who, in spending our pay checks, are the real employers in America 1, for one, will not be a chiseling employer My husband is a union laundry driver. If most people in our community patronized non- union laundries, my husbands en- ployers could not maintain union stan- dards In all fairness, our money in turn, must be spent where it will boost, not undermine, the union structure.
 Moreover, like value for my money. When I employ a tradesman I want no amateur. The best workers are to be found in union ranks, for the expert worker does not need to underbid his fellows to get employment.
 It seems a small matter, perhaps, that 1 am careful to patronize union barbers, milk drivers, cooks and wait CT ct cetera. It is easy to undervalue my efforts when I act as one of millions.
 But I consider how immense issues are decided at the polls, yet each man, rich or poor has but one vote
 In our vision of better America, many of us have thought what splendid conditions we would give ow workers if only zoe were employers. Yet, in sober fact, that power is in our hands once we realize that practical action in our own small corner is worth a world of day dreams.

WHY BUY UNION LABEL
 GOODS
By LILLIAN A. BENCO (CIereland, OhiO)

Y BUY union label goods because 1 X am an American and believe firmly in the high standards of American liv- ing. These high standards are based on the solid foundation of higher wages, shorter hours and better work ing conditions, the cardinal points of unionism. It is therefore highly essen tial that, to maintain and improve these standards, we must always purchase and convince others to buy union label goods. I buy union label goods because they are made in America. This aids our home industries and helps make our future secure. 1 buy union label goods because they are of superior quality and workmanship. They are not the products of child labor, prisons or sweatshops, so detrimental to Amer ican labor.
 1 buy union label goods because of the sanitary conditions under which they are made. This has been of great importance to our health and we'll being.
 Moreover, I buy union label goods because the higher wages enable us to live happier, better and more decent lives than we would otherwise.
 Higher wages mean greater pur- chasing power; greater purchasing power means more jobs; and more jobs mean prosperity for all.
 1 buy union label goods because shorter hours mean leisure time in which to travel, play or study-in short, to enjoy a fuller life.
 Finally, I buy union label goods because it helps to strengthen our na- tion, brings prosperity and promotes the welfare of our people. All this is Americanism, of which I am glad to be part.

Ask 1Oc Rasises

The Brass Workers Joint Negotiating Committee is fight ing for lOc raises for $500 American Brass Co. workers under contract in Waterbury, AnsOnia and Torrington. Nego- tiations broke down recently when the company refused the union demand and countered with 6c increase, with wages to be frozen for a year. This was rejected by the union, and a strike ballot was taken.
 American Brass, subsidiary of Anaconda Copper, operates about 75 per cent of its plants on three 8-hour shifts at a full A-hour capacity in this Valley, which is the brass center of the world.

FROM LABOR"


 Whipped up hystercal rantngs of labor haers, the House passes legislation forcing compulsory arbitration on American drasticay restricting their right strike in defense industries which, practical matter, all industry.
 The President sends troops with bayonets to California aircraft factory where strike in support of modest wage demand had been branded "Outlaw.'
 Under White House instructions Seective Service officials decreed that who had been granted OccupatOna defer from the draft should be into the army they strike-a slight variation of the sworkOr-Gght' program which had carefully mapped their 'MDay'' plan but unable put because of popular opposition.
 All this happened in single day this week. In the space of few hours labor deprived of rights which had been in than a half century of struggle.
 There is believe that those who hate the American worker will their advantage and seek put through dangerous restrictions his dom of action.
 is proper emphasize that this drive against labor is in face of undsputed evidence that overwhelming majority of the nations toilers have responded pa trioticaly and enthusiastically the defense needs there has been any lag the defense program it is the result of poor plannng faulty management shortage materials and the refusal of hand until they assured of profits large make joke of the Presidents promise that crop of million aires would not be spawned by the emergency.

 At the same time the House Committee Ways and Means has vetoed Treasury Department recommendation for higher taxes profits and plans the major portion of needed for defense from Americans at the bottom of the economic ladder.
 The Department of Labor reports that living costs have been steadily rising for nine months they will go much higher The worker who during the last six months has not received increase of of 10 per cent off than before the got under way
 How is the worker himself in conditions for defense production and keep his family ordinary decencv unless his substantially increased? And how n the worker to absolutely imperative increase if he is disarmed and made helpless by legislation and military decrees?
 Unless the prices of commodities the profits of industry curbed, the American worker in the light of what happened this week, will the principal moi the only bearer of the burden of the emergency.

I Remember
 By Richard E. CrOskey
 Local 4O4 Cooks & Walters Union
Attention Harry Fox, Esq.

Attention Harry Fox, Esq.
 My reason for recounting this dance hall organization is that the editor of our Official Journal, Harry w. Fox, was present at the time I speak of and he wrote me after reading my column in THE UNION TIMES. Don't tell them about your organizing the dance hall girls."
 ''Well, Harry my boy, here it is. Take it or leave it.
 Brisbane ScOoped
 A few years ago there was simi- liar organization in Mexico City, D. F. (District Federal) Old Mexico. The late columnist Arthur Brisbane spoke of it in one of his columns that appeared in many of the large newspapers of the country and one of my friends sent me a clipping with the remark, Brisbane says this is the first of its kind organized on the American Continent. He is all wet you are the organizer of the first union of these people"
 Organizations
 The great increase in the mum. Der of members of not one but many unions is in my judgment to be credited to one man, President Roosevelt. ! know there are many who blatantly want to claim much of this credit. In their egotism they pat themselves on the back and |say: "What a great man I am," and have themselves voted large salaries all out of proportion to the services rendered to their members. As a matter of fact we have many able labor leaders, but we also have I observe, many misfits.
 Some climbed into office because they represent large unions and can central the votes, and that is a real danger that the labor move ment as a whole must watch and guard against. I certainly do not begrudge any man getting all the salary he can get but I also like to see him have some talent OF ability so that he can serve his members wisely and intelligently for this salary.
 Psychology
 There are many talents that go to make up a successful organizer of men. Emerson said or wrote, Moth ing great was ever accomplished with out enthusiasm" so the man must not be a time-server but have an en- thusiasm for the work. But this is not enough. He must have both judg- ment and ability, that quality that Elinor Glyn has called "IT." But there is also another quality that I believe is the greatest of all and that is discernment to know when the psychological moment comes to act or not to act. I think in my career have had more success in this. field than in any other. More of this I will speak of in my next column.
