made OF local property to ferreg
out and correct fire hazards? Do
schools and other public build

designed emergency exits:
You are entitled to the answers
to such questions as these, and
it is your duty to ask them. To.
day fire loss is running ahead of
last year. 1t is taking more lives.
1t is wasting more labor AMI
energy. 1t is destroying materials
which are important both to de
fense and normal activity. 1t is
destroying sources OF taxation
and thus increasing the burden
that must be borne by all other
taxpayers. 1t is breeding della!
and waste OF time.
Even in very small conmuni.
ties, good fire protection is per
fectly possible. The people can be
educated. And many little towns
have joined with others TO create
fire fighting organizations whose
cost, when divided among the
cooperating communities, is very
small. In short, wherever you
live, whoever you are. there is no
valid excuse for failure to dc
your part in preventing fire now

THE ENEMY WITHIN

How many Americans could
answer the question with any
degree OF accuracy: How ade-
quate are our local fire defenses: ?
The chances are that not one
person in hundred could give
anything resembling an informed
answer. Yet that question is one
which directly affects all our
lives, all our property. and which,
at this time. has a very direct
bearing on the national defense
program.
Is the fire department up to
snuff? Is there an abundance OF
water for fighting fire in all Sec
tions where it is needed? Is there
a strictly enforced, modern build

become character, as | see the future.

New Year, certain that the Light on

CONFUSION is still prevalent, and
~ a new committee under OPM for
the purpose of determining the sup
plies necessary for preservation of the
health of civilians as well as that OF

to the problem. One questions the need

sibility of single high command for

reasonable approach to the tremendous
problem ahead. but who will head it?
No plan has been developed for a
unified command of our own forces

has been developed for unified author

A STRIKE FOR DEMOCRACY
7 ABOR'S FORMIDABLE economic wear

7 ,ABOR'S FORMIDABLE economic weapon, the
~ strike, was, before this war, the most contro-
versial economic instrument in the American
scene. The legitimate strike has been resorted tC
thousands of times to force certain employers tC
recognize and respect the rights of labor and OF
the workers under the law of the land. The history
of labor relations in the United States shows very
clearly that the strike has been an effective
weapon mostly because it was generally USED
against employers who ndulged in unfair prac-
tees.
The American Labor Citizen, official Western
Publication of the American Federation of Labor
in its July 18th issue tells how the cannery work
ers at Modesto, California, utilized strike action
as weapon to gain them the patriotic right tC
set aside 10 per cent of their wages each week tC
aid the Government war effort throught the sus.
tanned purchase of War Bonds. The cannery that
was struck is member of one of the numerous
employer organizations that deal in industry wide
labor relations. Past history shows that many of
the employers organizations as well as many hdi
vdual concerns have strived for many years tc
have legislation instituted in the various areas in
which they operate, to outlaw the strike They dc
not like the strike especially if they do not like
the idea of their workers banding together in
labor unions for their own protection
The action of the Modesto cannery workers
brings to light in that very area situation that
proves not only the effectiveness of the strike but
also the fact that this particular strike like many
other strikes, was really caused by the arbitrary
attitude of non-cooperative employer. The Mod
este War Bond strike was not the result of the
employers financial inability to cooperate in q
vital and necessary activity. The Tri-Valley Can.
merry is large, going concern.

THE 4O-HOUR WEEK LAW

THOUGH THE BIG push against the 40-hour
law has come to a halt, foes of the law are
still trying to create the impression that it pro-
hibits work week longer than 40 hours. When
one of these gentry is encountered, plain state
ment of fact in regard to the law will generally
take the wind out of his sails. Such statement is
put out by the War Production Board in little
leahet, What Labor is Doing in the War" Says
the leaet:
Question: Don't labor laws prohibit work
week longer than 40 hours?
Answer: No. There is no law that prohibits
working more than 40 hours a week. The wage
hour law simply provides that workers should be
paid at the rate Of time and half for hours over
40 in any one week.
For example, Andy Jones, a war worker, earns
70 cents an hour for 40 hours of straight time, OF
S28 He works 10 hours overtime and is paid 70
cents straight time for each Of these extra hours
or 81, and 35 cents overtime for each Of the 1O
hours, or $3.50 The additional $1,000 makes his
total earnings $3.50 for so hours Of work.

AGRICULTURAL LABOR
THE WARTIME scarcity of agriculture

THE WARTIME scarcity of agricultural labor is
most desperate in the case of the industriazeo
farms, which have counted upon migratory work
ers whose need forced them to accept casual en-
poyment is available these workers end then
mgrations. Family farms, with more stabilized
employment, have fewer labor difficulties. In addl
ton, relationships between these farmers anc
those they hire are on a personal basis which
makes more difficult the callous brutality that
characterZes treatment of migratory workers en-
ployed in industrial farms.
It is in industrial agriculture that the first
unions of agricultural workers were organized anc
these first among the pickers and packers. Indus
tralized farmers have fought these attempts tc
organize, while they themselves organized to pre-
vent the extension of protective labor legislation
Ito agricultural workers even when employed under
industrial conditions. Yet these workers need pro-
lection of their right to organize and bargain
collectively, as the report of the La Toilette Com
mttee points out With this right and extension
of the protection of social security program, in.
cluding provisions for sickness, agricultural work
ers would have sound foundation for enabling
them to work out other problems of progressive
welfare.
No nation can safely exclude groups from pro-
lection granted by public policy to other groups
with similar problems. Migratory farm laborers
and their children have right to American stand
ards of life and work available to other groups OF
workers.
Our federal government has an extensive pro
gram of aid for American farmers, for we realize
that we cannot maintain prosperity at the ex-
pense of any one group. Agricultural progress
must include farm labor as we'll as the farmer
The La Toilette Committee has rendered con-
structive service in submitting it's twelve basic
recommendations for better life for agricultural

SHIPS NAMED .GOMPERs' AND 'FURUSETH

TWO OF THE most famous and beloved of the
nations recent labor leaders will be honored
when ships bearing their names are launched as
part of giant Labor Day celebration sponsored
by the Maritime Commission.
One ship is to be chrstened Samuel Gompers,
the other "Andrew FuruSeth." FWuseth is a late
leader of the Pacific Seamen and one of the
founders of the Seamens Union in 1885. He be-
came known the father of unionsm on the sea
and won for seamen some of their greatest gains
One of his biggest triumphS occurred in 1915
when President Woodrow Wilson signed law
granting sweeping concessions to American sea
men, law which furuseth had sponsored and
fought for.
The vast number of ships that will be delivered
by the yards to the Maritime Commission, Navy
and War Departments around Labor Day will be
featured in the celebration.
Conferences are being held to work out the
elaborate plans for the occasion, with representa-
tives Of maritime unions affiliated with the AtL
and ClO actively participating. Shipyard manage
ment is supporting the plans, recommending that
the Maritime Commission carry through fully on
the plans.
