Thinking of the problem, he worked
out type of road which he believed
would give more service.
McAdam was SO years old when
he was given charge of 14s miles Of
roads. He improved them, and cut
down the cost of upkeep. People
from various parts of England came
to him to ask for his advice on the
best way to build roads.
The roads built on his plans came
to be known as "McAdamized" Or
"Macadamized roads" They had .
top layer of broken stones, each bit
Of stone weighing only an ounce or
two. The top layer was from 8 to 10
inches thick, and the surface was
rounded so rain water would drain
away well.
McAdam lived to the age Of 81.
In our language today, we have
the word "macadamized," spelled
with a small m" Many 1ow-cost

Social gains are vital part of the

as far as possible, the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor holds. Senator La
Toilette has taken his stand squarely
with this view, in a statement that
has not been given the publicity it
deserves. In introducing bills to raise
the standards of farm workers and
give them the rights other workers
now possess, La Toilette said:
II challenge the proposition that we
freeze our economic and social order
as of December l, 1941. The carefully
cultivated theory that Congress and
the President should abdicate their
constitutional duty to preserve and
extend democracy on the home front
until hostilities cease is the counsel
of either defeatism or reaction.
MANY who urge it have not hesi-
tated to attempt to destroy many of
the hard-won gains of the last decade
for the disadvantaged and underpriv-
ileged on the altar of false economy
or fancied war necessity. The status
quo concept of democracy cannot be
accepted. We either go forward or
backward This is dynamic era.

FACING
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Well, here we are back again at the
old stand after spending three busy
weeks at the Toronto convention of
the American Federation of Labor.
During the convention, our daily ac-
tivities prevented us from taking time
out to report on the proceedings, but
now that we've had an opportunity to
reflect and cogitate, we'd like to tell
you about few things that won't ap-
pear in the official records.
In the first place, our three-week
stay in Toronto gave US a preview of
the severe war conditions that will
unquestionably be imposed upon the
people of the United States within a
relatively short time Canada has
been in this war since 1889 and its
people are therefore far ahead of US
in sacrifices, both voluntary and COM
pulsory.
Although conscription for military
service is not yet in effect in Canada,
tremendous proportion of the male
population and great number of
women are in the armed service. The

perlatively fine job and the public ap-
preciate their service. There is far
less anti-labor agitation in Canada
than in the United States. The news
papers do not play up the few unim-
portant strikes that occur. Recogni-
tion is given widely and whole-heart-
edly to the patriotic service of labor
in speeding war production. Even
though labor in Canada is not as
widely organized as in the United
States and despite the fact that in
normal times opposition to unionism
is keener there than here, the govern
ment, industry, management and the
public are giving the workers a help
ing and encouraging hand now that
the entire nation is pulling together
to help win the war.
Perhaps when the stark realities of
total war impress themselves deeper
upon the consciousness of Americans,
the enemies of labor in this country
will also see the light and halt their
war against unions long enough to
join in the fight against the real enc
mics of all Americans who menace us
from abroad!
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-10-30

ure of the United States to solve it's
internal economic and social problems
was the greatest single threat to our
ideals of democratic government. 9th
ers have urged, with equal sincerity,
that the prime menace was physical
aggression of foreign totalitarian
force The plain fact is that both ele-
ments gravely threaten. Regardless of
past differences ON the primacy of
these threats, the United States has
both battles to win. Defeat on either
front will mean the loss of both"

ers' Union opening recently in London.
Bevin's speech was enthusiastically
cheered by the delegates whose pres

fed to the growing strength and power
of the union since it's organization in
1922.
Reports abroad of disagreements
between Bevin and the union which he
formerly headed were scoffed at by
spokesman of the union who pointed
with pride to the enormous progress
of the organization under the leader
ship of Bevin and in recent years.
Total membership on the eve of the
convention was close to one million
members or nearly 100000 more than
the previous year. Similarly impress
sive figures on the unions financial
growth and strength were also given.
Bevin was also outspoken in his
criticism of radicals and left wingers
who were opposed to the war prior to
the German attack on Russia and had
termed the struggle of the British
people against Nazism as merely an
imperialistic war. The convention
echoed Bevin's sentiments and went
on record urging an allied offensive

Congress, it seems safe to say, will
