Social Security guarantees of old age

''The Agricultural Wage Board Bill
would establish a system Of agricul-
tural wage boards for the purpose of
determining fair wages as distinct
from minimum wages, for the employ
ment of labor in industrialiZed agri-
culture In wartime these operations
would be coordinated with the War
Labor Board activities.
"The Agricultural Labor Standards
Act would extend the benefits of the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1888 to
employees in industrialized agricul-
ture,' namely the right to receive Il
certain minimum wage and to work
only maximum hours except with over
time.

Lone Delegate Who
Voiced Smear

Toronto, Ont.-A stirring defense of
Britain and her efforts to find sOlu-
tion for that complex and almost inn
possible situation in India" was made
to the American Federation of Labor
at its convention by Vice President Dan
TObin, who protested 1.-The smear"
given Britain in an address to the con-
vention by Philip Randolph, college
educated Negro head of the Sleeping
Car Porters' Union.
Mr.. Tobin said he thought that the
action of this convention in dealing
with Randolph's statements in silent
contempt may have been misunder-
stood by the outside public, for whom
the addresses were intended" He read
Randolph's statement that the white
industrial workers of the AnglO-Ameri-
can empire systems enjoy favored and
de luxe position under monopoly CAPT
talism because of the subjugatiOn, ex-
ploitation and oppression of the black,
brown and yellow colonial proletariat
of the undeveloped countries of the
world"
Mr. Tobin recalled that this Autumn
he was an A. f. of l.. delegate to the
convention of the British Trade Union
Congress-. For nearly three hours they
devoted themselves to discussion OF
the India situatiOn,' he told the con
ventiOn land. there wasn't man III
that Congress, no matter what the dis
agreements were in other things, who
did not believe wholeheartedly in free
dom or government for the people
Of India.
"Still we have a delegate rising here
and denouncing the British Trade
Union Congress- But the trouble is thai
neither England nor any other part OF
the civilized world can find solution
for that complex and almost impossible
situation in India.

not only with the leaders of labor, but
with Prime Minister Churchill. We

Labor Policies

Chicago ULNS).-An end to wage
discrimination against women was de-
manded by labor and government
representatives who spoke here at a
three day conference Of women trade
unionists and auxiliary members.
The conference, held annually, was
called by the Illinois and Wisconsin
WOmens Trade Union Leagues and
Committees More than 100 delegates,
representing some 20 organizations at
tended.
The most widespread discrimination
in industry today relates to the wages
of women, which averages one-half
the wages of men, Victor A. Olander,
secretary-treasurer of the n OF $
State Federation of Labor charged,
pointing out that In the most recent
activities against unfair labor prac-
tices, the word sex has been eliminated.
although it appeared in the beginning
two years ago.
He further charged that there can
be no inquiry into sex discrimination
without exposing the unfair wage diff
ferential against women that is al
most universal.

said, within the next few months,

I. Their outlines have already taken

She told them that "since war EN-
ployment' officially includes jobs in
transportation, communication, public
utilities and government, as we'll as
ammunition, equipment and supplies
for the armed forces, the more than
two million women in war jobs work in
thousands of occupations"
Wonen's Pay Improves
Turning to the question of womens
wages, Miss Christman said that the
Bureau of Census tells us that in
1880 in all but a few states, the
median income of females entirely de-
pendent on wages or salaries was from
one-half to twO-thirds of the CORE
spending median for males. In IA
states, averages for women were less
than $500, whereas only two states,
Mississippi and Arkansas, reported
averages for men of less than this
amount The average for women ex-
ceeded $500 in only two states, Cali

Chicago. Judge John p. Barnes,
who denied a government plea for an
injunction to break the ban ordered by
James G.. Petrillo on the making of
musical recordings and electrical trans
criptions, filed a memorandum on his
decision in which he suggested that
further Department of Justice efforts
would be futile.
Judge Barnes had ruled that the
government sought the injunction under
the wrong statute-the Sherman (anti-

Gated that he would make a new move.
In his memorandum Judge Barnes
said:

ed IN what lay ahead. In the
next century and a half, we pro-
duced as much wealth as ali the
remainder of the world had pro-
duced In a hundred centuries.
We lost our national nerve for
the first time during the recent
depression. We lost the horizon
as 1.-The true aspect of things
past" And then we began to
worship Security instead of Or
portunity. We know now, if we
have not always known it, that
when a man or a nation sets up
Security to worship, the temper
is out of the handspring. The
dynamics are gone. You think
about dividing wealth instead of
multiplying it. You lean on gov
eminent instead of needing it.
Your preoccupation is with the
difficulty instead of its solution.
You nibble at the seed corn in
stead of manfully preparing the
field for its increase.
Beyond victory, be it near or
distant - perhaps, before we
are through, as a vital constit-
uent of tive must spread and

that is done and its magic is
working, the impediments and
hurdles, fancied or real, the dis
heartening accumulation of linn
ting legislation and restrictions
that constrain initiative, hamper
the venturesome, and intimidate
the bold can be stripped away,
because the first ones who fall
in line when the people march
purposefully in given direction
are the bureaucrats and politi-
clans. They have learned to do
that or be trodden down.
GET THE FUEL FIRST

placed in business and finance
take another view. They want
the process reversed. They speak
sincerely of the need for a "Fav-
orable environment for risk
taking" and for restoration of
incentive" and for assurances
of reasonable rewards" as in
dispensable preliminaries to pro-
ductive action. They are very
logical; they may even be right.
But it seems to me they want
to idle the motor and conduct a
highway safety survey before
refining the gasoline to put in
the tank to make the automo-
bile 60. That may be the right
of it; good many economists
also say it is. l confess these
gentlemen abash me for the
most part, sending the lay mind
Keeling with their swarming sta
tistics a nd confident second

point out that too often in their
equations, it seems to me, they
overlook a primary factor with

economy to rationalize.
The primary factor L mean IS
dauntless man. Out of a pas
sionate belief in his idea, out
of stubborn will and an unshak-
able conviction at his heart, such
man refuses to be put off, dis
suaded, or discouraged, but
drives steadily on until he has
founded a business, q fortune,
and q legend. Most Of our great
businesses and industries OF to-
day were founded by such men.
Most of their collateral was
