FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1912.
THEY MUST BE ORGANIZED

Speakers at American Federation
of Labor department conventions in
Toronto emphasized that millions of
additional women will be needed in
war industry, as more and more men
go into the armed forces. Already
in industries hitherto virtually closed
to them.
This large-scale movement of women
into industry presents a challenge to
the labor movement which it will ig-
more at it's peril If the millions of
women workers are not organized and
educated in the principles of unionism,
trouble is certain.
AS l. NJ Ornburn, secretary treas
urer of the A. F. of L. Union Label
Trades Department, said recently:
Imagine what an appalling condi-
tion of employment will exist if these
women do not join labor unions and
are exploited by unfair employers who
are always ready to take advantage of
workers by reducing their wages, in
creasing their hours, and ignoring
healthful and favorable working con-
ditions."

thing if he were to come forth with
a planning about how to give the
people all the good and inspiring music
they could possibly get, to pace their
efforts to turn out the enormous guam
titles of commodities and munitions
to win the war.
Not the stuff that urges the zoot
suit maniacs to fresh contortions, but
the stuff that brings troops to a
smarter step, the stuff that makes a
lump come to the throats of audiences,
the stuff that makes men and women
resolve to higher and higher endeavor.
Music has a great and wonderful role
to play in this global war.
1t isn't time to snitch away the
only music a lot of folks ever get the
chance to hear.
Come on Mr.. Petrillo, look what's
going on in this world and act like
you understood it just a little! =

fic fatalities is general throughout the
nation. For the first time, not single
state reported an increase in August
for the 8-month period
Even the heavy reduction in the
gas-rationed Eastern seaboard states
was equalled or exceeded in other
parts of the country.
Records of almost 400 reporting
cities show that fatalities in cities of
10000 or more population dropped off
36 per cent in August from the same
month year ago, the safety council
says.
The urban (city) traffic toll in most
earlier months this year had not fallen
so rapidly as the national toll. This
has been attributed to sharper cur
tailments of long-distance travel in
rural areas, plus the building up of
centers of war production activity in
predominately urban areas.
ClCIeS showed an average reQucClOn
of II per cent for the first months
of the year. Rural fatalities fell off
approximately one-fourth.
War has brought "birth-cellar" to
Europe. A famous European mater
nifty hospital, the one at Rigshos-
pitalet, Copenhagen, sent a doctor to
Finland in August, according to the
National Tidende, in order to study
maternity hospitals under war condi-
tions. AS result an underground,
bomb-proof maternity hospital is ex-
pected soon to be constructed at Rigs
hospitalet. Hitherto only the mortu-
ary was kept underground.

"OFF THE RECORD"
(From Editor & Publisher)

When Lieut.. Gen. Ben Lear ad-
dressed the American Legion conven-
tion at Kansas City, he stated that
American war casualties might con-
ceivably run as high as 100000. At
the request of Gen. Lear's chief of
staff, the Legion publicity staff de-
leted the statement from the official
press release. The chief of staff said
that if the General used the statement,
he would probably do so "off the
record"
Gen. Lear, however, did not restrict
the paragraph, and as he was leaving
the convention hall the Legion pub
licity director called that to his at
tention, stating that failure to limit
the statement by an off ff-the-record
preface made it available for news
paper publication The Generals re-
ply was characteristic and presents a
common sense view that should be
applied to most statements made off
the record
"Hell, let it CO." he is quoted in a
Chicago Tribune story. "You can't
talk off the record to 5000 or 1000
people"

ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
FACING PUERTO RICO

San Juan, P. R. (ILNS).-S Serious
unemployment in Puerto Rico, with a
catastrophe economic situation -
headed for complete collapse" are re-
vealed in special report by Paul Ed
wards, WPA administrator, to WPA
heads in Washington.
The report supports Edwards re-
quest to be allowed to employ 10000
workers in excess of the quota, but
indicates that such a number would
be totally inadequate, in view of ex-
isting conditions.
Twelve per cent of the islands pop
ulation is jobless, as compared to II
per cent in the United States in the
depression year of 1888, the report
declares.
Almost 40 per cent of employable
labor is unemployed. A million per-
sons are in great need and clamoring
for government aid.
The report cites as causes of the
present situation the breakdown of
transportation between Puerto Rico
and the United States, preventing the
importation of construction materials
and expectation of principal money
crops; limited planting and absence of
war industries.
The report says the insular govern
ment is doing nothing to relieve the
situation
The Senate President, Luis Munoz
Marin, has offered a four-point un-
employment relief plan, involving the
expenditure of $39,OO0,OOO.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

a MERICA - notorious throughout
n the world for profigate spend
ing of human lives in automobile traf-
fic-is at last reducing the death toll.
August traffic fatalities were down
the 2,310, the lowest figure for any
August since 1926, the earliest year
for which national monthly totals are
available, says the National Safety
Council.
If this cut in deaths is not world
news. what is it? The discouraging
thing about it is that the decrease
came not because American motorists
voluntarily drove much more slowly
and carefully to save lives, but pri-
marily because they were forced to
reduce speed and their driving mile
age by wartime restrictions.
Recognition of the necessity for
more careful driving undoubtedly
played a part in the reduction of the
death toll but Old Man Wars was the
biggest factor.
To cite figures, the traffic toll came
down a record 40 per cent
in August from the same month a
year ago, the National Safety Council
reports. This represented saving of
1850 lives from the all-time August
high of 1850 traffic deaths recorded
last year.
The traffic toll for the first months
of this year dropped u per cent from
the same period last year-a saving
of 5000 lives. The 8-month total fol-
this year was 1880 against PATIO fol
last year.

SAFETY FOR THE WORKER

Safety for the Worker is a useful
pamphlet published by the u. S. Of
fee of Education, prepared in collab-
oration with the Division of Labor
Standards, U. S. Department of La
Dor, and intended primarily for stu
dents in vocational schools and de-
fense training classes. 1t is illustrated
with graphic pen and ink drawings.
1t describes the principal sources of
hazards in industries and workshops,
and how safety training, safety de-
vices, and safety consciousness can
work together to do away with ac-
cidents.
If every war industry worker and
every union plant safety committee,
individually and collectively, followed
and insisted upon the simple safety
rules here set forth there would be
many fewer accidents. Much precious
time would be saved, many units of
work and pounds of scarce materials
salvaged, and the most valuable asset
of all-skilled would be
preserved for the task in hand.
The pamphlet can be ordered from
the Superintendent of Documents,
Washington, D. c., at discount of
25 per cent on orders of 100 or more.
The cost per copy is cents. The pub
lie vocational schools and training
classes may obtain copies free from
the Office of Education, Washington.

upward spiral of prices, chief ac-
compartment of initiation.
The ICC apparently was not i'm
pressed by the argument of the Office
of Price Administration that there
was no need for the increase, as "the
Southern rail carriers are today en-
joying the greatest passenger business
in many years; their revenues are at
peak level, and their comparative po-
sition with other regions in the United
States is excellent"
To the man in the street, the OPA
argument appears sound.

ShOrt-Line Railroads
Urged To Raise Pay

Washington, D. Can Emergency
Railway Labor Board recommended
adjustment of wage and vacation
schedules for some employees of thirty
short-line railroads, refrigerator COM
panies and a contractor providing
services normally performed by rail
roads, to bring them into line with
standards set up for most of the ma
tion's rail carriers.
The employees involved, the emer-
gency board said in a report to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, are chiefly mainte-
nance-of-way and shop craft workers.

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchst we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly. sometimes eippantly, some
times reckiessly.

Generally it isn't wise to pre-judge
case-that is, to pass a judgment
before the case has gone to court.
So we shall have nothing to say
about how Mr.. James Petrillo will
come out in his bout with Thurman
Arnold. Generally Mr.. Arnold has
found himself out on limb when he
has jousted with unions.
Yes, generally Mr.. Arnold's cases
have been very sour.
But Mr.. Petrillo's order banning the
making of radio and juke box record
ings is also very sour.
Leaving the legal side of the matter
out of the discussion, because, for one
thing Mr.. Petrillo has enough people
jumping on him in that field, from
broad, general interest point of view,
Mr.. Petrillo did what many another
man has done. He got his timing all
wrong.
If you intend to take away from
people something which they very
much enjoy and something which is
very much involved in the daily living
of a great many people, then you don't
try to hit them while they're being
hit from almost every other conceiv-
able angle.
Mr. Petrillo has a great many
friends and they should have advised
with him that this war time is no
time to lead with the left in such
fashion.
Civilian manpower is being so de-
pleted that shortly the male popula-
tion will consist almost solely of those
who just have to be kept in essential
industry, plus the aged, the lame, the
blind and the halt
The restrictions imposed by war are,
it would seem, about all that are nee
essary to insure jobs to every person
able to work.
1t looks like bad timing, which good
generals try to avoid.
Those who heard Dan Tobin on the
air after his return from England just
few days ago, got an example of
good timing and of good, sound ut
terance.
Dan Tobin set an example for labor
utterances in that radio talk.
Mr. Petrillo might consult with Dan
Tobin about public relations in these
war-times. Mr.. Tobin knows about
public relations. He is very fortnight
at times and there have been times
when he seemed to have no care
whether anybody liked or didn't like
what he had to say.
But Dan Tobin also knows when to
say something and what is the thing
that needs to be said A shining and
crowning example was that radio
speech upon his return from war
SCARED England.
Get in there and give it everything
you have, was the burden of his talk,
but it was couched in the great Ian
guage of craftsmanship, it was de-
livered with a conviction that must
have planted conviction in the hearts
of others. 1t was profound convic-
tion that Dan Tobin cast out upon
the air waves.
1t made some other utterances of
some other people seem pretty shoddy
and pretty shallow and selfish.
Mr.. Petrillo would be doing a swell

THOUSANDS MUST GO
TO SHIPYARDS SOON.
CONVENTION Is TOLD

Toronto Hundreds of thou
sands of additional workers, including
many women, will be needed by ship
yards in the near future, the annual
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor Metal Trades Depart
ment was told.
The A. F. of L. Building and Con-
struction Trades Department conven-
tion heard criticism of alleged union
labor shortcomings from Admiral Ben
Moreel, chief of the U. S. Navy's Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks.
President John P. Frey of the Metal
Trades Department told delegates rep
resenting some 100000 members
that about 100000 shipyard workers
would be urgently needed in the next
three or four months 900 for new
jobs and 100000 to replace those GO
ing into the armed forces
10000 Women Needed
Paul R. Porter, chief of the Stabili-
zation Branch of the Labor Produc-
tion Division, War Production Board,
said that shipyards will need at least
10000 women workers in the coming
year.
They will be paid on the principle
of equal pay for equal work, quality
and quantity considered, he said,
which means that their weekly earn
ings will average between $45 and $50
and will reach $40 in some cases.
Porter estimated that 1900 to 5000
women now are working in the Kaiser
yards on the Pacific Coast and in the
Todd and Federal yards on the At
lantic Coast They are employed
mostly at welding and light machine
work
The strike record in shipyards is
better than in the first World War,
Porter declared
Number of Strikes Low
Notwithstanding the much greater
present employment in shipbuilding,"
he said, "the number of strikes as re-
ported by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, has in this war been just AS
in 1941 and II in 1912, through Au-
gust, as against 106 in 1917 and 140
in 1913"
Addressing the building trades dele
gates, Admiral Moreel said that he
was not implying that organized labor
has any exclusive responsibility for
the nations failure to produce the
maximum of war implements, but
that he felt working people had the
biggest stake in the war Neverthe-
less, he added, labor's wartime record,
'sin many instances, does not make
the best reading"
Moreel said he was aware that some
employers were unscrupulous enough
to provoke strike for selfish reasons,
but pleaded with labor to "refuse to
be melted" The Admiral said that
labor organizations would lose public
support if they condoned any work
stoppages and said:
81 will admit that no one can live
without labor, but the people GER
tainly can live without labor unions.
They sre living without them in Ger
many, and Italy and Japan, and they
seem to be doing right well for the
moment and in my opinion they will
damn we'll live without them here if
all of us don't get in there and pitch"
