INTERSTATE FARMERS
COUNCIL ORGANIZED

, Formation of the Interstate
Farmers Council was announced
this week with W. Clarence Jester
Of the Delaware State Grange as
director.
The Council, a non-profit CORE
iating organization of major farm
groups and farm cooperatives in
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Delaware, and Pennsylvania, has as
0ne of its purposes, the protection
of "the individual rights Of farm
ers to prosecute their business in
their own way"
9 That purpose, said p. C. Turner
Of Parkton, Maryland, newly elect
ed president of the Council, applies
to John L. Lewis cor anyone else
who may attempt through intimida-
ton, fear, or sdictation, to take
away from farmers their rights"
Lewis organizers have announ-
ced that the campaign to organize
farmers into a unit of the United
Mine Workers is now active in
thirteen states, and The Farm Jour-
nal has estimated that total dues
collected by a check-off of two
cents per hundred weight on milk
would run to $54,000,000 annually
If the campaign were successful,
Farmers have organized opposition
to the Lewis move in 10 states.
81 want to make it plain" said
Mr.. Turner, that neither the Inter-
state Farmers Council nor farm
ers generally have any quarrel
with organized labor as such.
Farmers have always given labor
the same right they held for them
selves-the right to organize and
work together in a constructive
program for self development and
self improvement.
But for either of these groups
farmers or labor-to try to take
over the other would result in con-
ditions as deplorable as labor lead
ers picture when they condemn
company dominated unions. 1t
would break down the balance of
power required in a democratic
way of life.
"The step by John L. Lewis to-
ward invasion of the dairy field and
organizing farmers under his wing
is direct move toward company
unionism. Only in this case the
company is composed of one man
John L. Lewis, who, if his pro-
gram were successful, would hold
in his hand the power of economic
life or death for the nations dairy
men"
Among the other purposes of the
council are the promotion and de-
yelopment of agricultural organ
izations and cooperatives, promo
tion of economic and social better
Inent of farmers in general and the
dissemination of pertinent farm
information. Offices will be main
tanned in Baltimore.

WE MUST KEEP FUNDAMENTAL
FREEDOMS

In the days of storm and stress
through which we live, the rights and
liberties of the people are in as grave
danger Of perversion by the blind
and thoughtless application of emer-
gency policies as they are from attack
by armed forces. Only by insisting
upon full application of our funda-
mental freedoms can we repulse the
enemy challenging US from without
and at the same time preserve the in
tegrity of our democracy from within.
Only by relying upon cooperation in
stead of compulsion can we bring into
full play the human, spiritual and
moral resources of the entire nation,
leaving no fertile ground for subver-
sive propaganda, unrest and revolt

UNFAIR FIGHTING

From the New Leader, New York;
The Presidents order against time
and-a-half for Sunday work ends
scandalous situation. The great IN
dustrial unions in the armament IN
dustries long ago gave up this sort
of bonus. It was a part OF their sac
rifice in the interest of continuous
operation.
Then a strange thing happened.
Anti-union employers used this sacrl-
flee as a weapon in their antl-unlon
fight. They offered the bonus to mem
bers of company unions and held 1T
out as a bait to lure men from union
shops or from their union member
ship. The history of the long struggle
for union status offers no dlrtler ex-
ample of hitting below the belt.
The Presidents order comes, then,
in response to a nationwide protest.
1t removes an effective weapon from
the hands of unfair employers. Thus
ends strange and instructive chapter
in our labor history.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

sarily any factual basis in itself.
Describing the heroic struggle of
the countries that have been overrun
by aggression, Hambro said that they
are fighting not merely for social and
economic welfare but primarily for
the things of the spirit "There are
certain things" he stressed, "that are
more important to human beings than
being we'll fed every day."
Paying tribute to the ideal of the
Atlantic Charter, Hambro urged that
the public recognize that the provi-
sions of the charter are not binding
until they have been ratified by the
Senate of the United States and ap-
proved by the British Parliament.
Discussing the problems of post
war organization he suggested that
the initial steps will probably come
through number of small functional
conferences rather than through a uni
versal peace conference These small
conferences could later be the basis
for general world organization. He
outlined the urgent work of recon-
struction that will confront the world
at the end of the war-need for feed
ing starving peoples, the prevention
of epidemics, and the stupendous
problems of migration made more
acute by the wholesale destruction of
transportation facilities.
Of paramount Importance in build
ing peaceful world organization,
Hambro placed the development of
education in the understanding of
their common problems by the peoples
of the world.
The same dynamic character which
is essential for education is vital to
democracy. Yesterdays liberalism is
today's conservatism, according to
Hambro. Democracy has to be reborn
and revitalized in every generation.

RELEASE CHINESE
SEAMEN DETAINED
ON ELLIS ISLAND

New York City (ILNS). One hun
dred and thirty-fve Chinese seamen
have been released from Ellis Island
where they had been detained by the
United States immigration authori-
ties, and are free on parole with the
understanding that they will ship out
aboard United Nations vessels at an
early opportunity.
The Chinese seafarers were freed
after successful negotiations between
the immigration authorities and Chi
nese consular and labor represent
atives. According to the understand
ing, the men must try to find jobs
aboard United Nations vessels within
two months after their release.
Chinese labor spokesmen also re-
ported the establishment of a branch
of the Chinese Seamen's Union in
Liverpool, England, under the aus
pices of the international Transport
Workers Federation with which the
Chinese transport workers movement
is affiliated. 1t was also reported by
Chu Hsueh-fan, president of the Chi
nese Association of Labor and at
present in the United States, that
plans are under way to establish sim
liar. branches of the Chinese seamen's
movement in New York and other
parts of the Western Hemisphere.

LABOR DRAFT NOT NEEDED

Paul V. McNutt, boss of the War
Manpower Commission, says draft
of labor is inevitable. Frances Per-
kins, Secretary of Labor, says it is not.
McNutt's statement reflects the
growing propaganda put out by some
government officials for regimenta-
tion of labor and the entire populace
in the interests of the war program.
They seem almost to think that until
the government is given the Fascist
like power to put worker in any
place it sees it, the war effort is
doomed to failure.
Secretary Perkins believes that
short cuts in production, constant up
grading of new workers under skilled
supervision, the infltration of increas-
ing numbers of women in light war
industry and the apprenticeship and
plant replacement training programs
will obviate the necessity for drastic
legislation to regulate the placing of
workers in war industry
Controls such as proposed by Nc
Mutt would place tremendous strain
on democracy and democratic proc
esses. Labor hopes there will be no
necessity for them. 1t believes that
the present system of placing workers
in jobs can fill the need for war work
ers, if given the chance under intelli-
gent direction.

CPEAKING at the opening session
~ of the Institute on World Organ
ization held at the American Univer-
sity, Washington, D. c., recently, c. J..
Hambro, president of the Norwegian
Parliament and of the Assembly of
the League of Nations, pointed out
that "there is strategy of peace just
as there is a strategy of war" He al
luded to the vigor of the League of
Nations, saying that there are 46
member states in 1912 and that all
invaded countries are paying their
contribution and have pledged for
1912 and 1943.
Hambro spoke of the constructive
work which is being conducted by the
League of Nations and the Interna-
tional Labor Organization, referring
to the resolutions on postwar recon-
struction adopted by the conference of
the international Labor Office held in
the United States, last year; the meet
ing of the emergency committee of the
ILO in London; and of the economic
and finance committee of the League;
the ILO joint maritime commission
meeting in London and the recent
meeting of the supervisory body of
the league in Montreal.
In emphasizing the universal as
poets of peace, Hambro referred to
Aristide Brands statement to the eff
feet that peace is one and indivisible
and is not confined to Europe, Amer
lea, or Asia.
1t is the oceans rather than the
continents, he said, which have united
the nations. The oceans have been the
paths of commerce, traffic, and of the
spread of ideologies.
Referring to the various plans for
postwar reconstruction Hambro urged
the importance of realistic approach
pointing out that no idea has neces-

FACTS ON LABOR LAWS

A popular pamphlet just issued by
the U. S. Office of Education, in CO.
operation with the Division of Labor
Standards, U. S. Department of Labor
serves as a good introduction to labor
laws for workers education classes.
1t is called The Worker, His Job, and
His Government, and is Vocational Di-
vision Bulletin No 220. 1t was planned
for use in vocational schools and ap-
premiership training classes.
As labor knows, there is a lack of
proper school texts about some of the
subjects in which labor is most inter-
ested This bulletin was designed to
fill one of these gaps. 1t takes the
young worker who is about to seek a
job in industry and shows him at just
how many points he is affected and
safeguarded by labor laws.
These labor laws, the pamphlet
points out, "did not spring up over
night. They are the result of years of
effort by the labor movement and by
civic-minded men and women in every
state" The laws which are discussed
are safety laws and regulations, work
mems compensation acts, wage and
hour laws, labor standards on govern
ment contracts, laws governing indus
trial relations, safeguarding the right
to organize and to bargain collec-
lively, laws stimulating sound ap-
premiership, child labor laws, and So
cial security provisions.
