A GOOD UNION MEMBER

THE MEMBER must make up his mind to be-
come active. To become active serves a dual
purpose First, new ideas and energies are verit-
able TRANSMISSION of the blood stream of union
Second, by activity onsbehalf of the union and in
sympathetic con JUNCTION with fellow unonlsts the
worker more readily perceives where his true
interests lie and comes to a fuller understanding
as to the achievement of his aims with a minimum
of trouble. Third, the active member helps to hit
an unwieldy burden from the shoulders Of other
workers who have been doing all the work without
complaint What we have gained under the ban
ner of trade unonism has been through the con-
certed efforts of all Of US. What may yet
achieve will be determined by our understanding
and application of the tenets Of unity, harmony
and actiVatiOn
What makes good union member? Certainly
not the mere payment Of dues! Any person who
so thinks at once brands himself as selfish or as
ignorant of the trade union principles. TO pay
dues is simply to open the door to greater personal
pain. TO make so small an investment for so great
a return in personal advancement and security
cannot be the symbol Of good union member. To-
be a good union member means to be active
member in the fullest sense Of the word; TO forget
oneself as an individual and to labor on behalf of
trade unonism as a whole.

HORRIFYING STORY FROM PRISON CAMPS

IT'S so SHOCKING that it's difficult for az
American to believe it happened in this country
but the Tampa Fla) Tribune" vouches for the
following:
White convicts in Florida prison camp, forceC
to work under blStering, semi-tropical sun, .anC
scourged to their tasks by brutal overseers, are
manning themselves for life by Slashng the mail
tendons in their legs, back Of their ankles.
At least II of these self-mutilatcd white me1
now in a prison hospital. Physicians have eX
planned to them that they are permanently Grip
pied, but apparently they are not disturbed be-
cause that is what they intended to do.
This expose should, and probably WILL make
a deep impression in the South, but little will be
accomplished unless Southerners recognize that
this is only another phase Of the evil influence OF
the "Sweatshop" employer.
These creatures are not all SouthernerS, by any
means. Many Of them trooped down from the
North, seeking cheap labor" But whether he is
a NortheYner Il SOutherner, the "Sweatshop'
boss has done more to retard the development OF
the South than any other single influence
Not only has he cruelty exploited Southern
workers. both white and black, but he has polluted
Southern politics and, with the aid of the poll tax
has sent such men as Cox of Georgia and Smith OF
Virginia to Congress.

FACTORY EMPLOYMENT IN
PENNSYLVANIA INCREASES

Philadelphia (ILNS). II Factory ac-
tivity in Pennsylvania advanced to re-
cord levels in June, as the production
of war materials continued to expand
Reports received from 2,S44 manufac-
turing establishments showed gains
over May of l per cent in employment
2 per cent in payrolls, and 1 per cent
in total employe-hours worked, instead
of the declines usual at this season.
Estimated employment in the state
reached a new high of 1,177,OOO work
ers and weekly wage disbursements,
approximately $4O,SOO,O0O.
In the two years of defense and war
activity, employment has risen 33 per
cent, payrolls 81 per cent, and total
hours worker 64 per cent.
In June there was a slight decline
in employment in consumer goods in
dustrieS, and small increase in wage
payments. But the upward trend CON
tinued strong in the durable goods in
dustries, which are engaged principally
in the production of war equipment :
in these lines payrolls have more than
doubled since June, 194O as against
an increase of 36 per cent in lighter
goods, where smaller proportions of
output are for war purposes.

LABOR AND INITIATION CONTROL

EFFORTS AT imitation control seem to be going
~ badly Government agencies and officials can't
agree on a course of action and some of them are
trying to put the blame on labor Labor, naturally
resents this It's viewpoint is stated thus by the
American Federation of Labor
Labor must not be made the scapegoat fo1
the administrative deficiency in the initiation con-
troll to date. There must be one unified policy of
initiation control equally applied to all groups and
enforced by active and free participation, willing
and understanding, on the part Of the people
themselves.
Labor will accept wage stabilization which is
accompanied by sterilization of profits and other
income payments. Labor insists that wage Stabil-
ization be achieved not by arbitrary decree but by
agreement.
''Wage stabizaton must not preclude cor
rection of substandard rates, elimination of in
equalities nor adjustment of rates to compensate
for increased skill and output"
Labor's insistence on equality of sacrifice and
voluntary agreement on wage stabzation is in
line with democratic procedure and practice. Those
who advocate wage stabilization by decree are de-
parting from democracy and verging dangerous
ly close to totalitarianism.

A HEALTHY SCARE
(From the New York Times


THE BEST ADVICE for persons who are dis

far better to see little men who aren't there than
not to see little men who are there Maybe the

STORY of spies landing from submarines on Florida
and Long Island beaches-but they did land
Our enemies are unscrupuous, energetic and
RECKLESS. They do improbable things. Not all of
them are as clumsy as those who are now standing
trial in Washington. We can't afford to laugh at
them, or at ourselves for taking ten times as many
precautions against them as are mathematically
necessary. We need margin of safety All along

WILL WE INVITE REVOLUTION AGAIN?

A FEW DAYS AGO, before the Institute of Pub
lie Affairs of the University of Virginia-the
famous educational institution founded by Thomas
Jefferson, the Father of American Democracy
speakers discussed what we should do to avoid
catastrophe after peace comes.
Stuart Chase, a clear-thinling economist, sub
United an extremely conservative program. He
hoped to preserve "free enterprise" but he
thought it could only be accomplished if we plan
ned to provide jobs for the unemployed, with
enough food, shelter clothing and medical serv-
ice for all and enough public education to keep
them healthy.'
William Wilson Cumberland of New York, a
typical Big Business" economist, hooted Chase's
suggestion "Out the window with planners" was
his idea. Let the leaders of business run the
show"
We tried that for eight or nine years after the
election of Harding in 1920. The result was the
crash of 1929. Business leaders continued to run
the show during the Hoover administration and
in the judgment of mnay thoughtful men, we
were on the brink of a revolution when the "NeW
DEAL took over in 1888.
Are we foolish enough to try that sort Of thing
agan?

CHANGE THE TAX BILL!

THE UNITED STATES Senate has an opportun-
ity to recaSt the tax bill to make it farer to the
great masses of Americas wage earners, who will
bc the victims Of many injustices under the bill
drafted by the House Ways and Means Committee
and passed by the House.
One Of the worst features of the bill is the
lowering of the personal tax exemptions to the
$500 and 81, 200 levels. AS the National Lawyers
Guild declared, in devastating attack on the bill
this lowering Of the exemptions will take gro
ceres and other necessities out of the homes of
the workers in the low-incomc groups"
'Ihc House committee" it is further declared
does not hesitate to dip into the pockets of the
messenger boy, yet it SHES away from
the $4,000 personal income limitation set by the
President
And the guild statement says, in words that
millions of Americans can applaud:
America needs a fair tax bill. The battle for
ia sound tax measure will be carried forward to the
hearings which the Senate Finance Committee will
undertake. The American people should make its
voice heard in these hearings"

NIGHT

|RLACKOUTS are more than practical device
- to advance defense. They are Symbols They
are symbols of night obscurity, the awful black
ness that can and might engulf the world.
No one can follow the course of organized
cruelty or ruthless trickery lies and madness -
without feeling himself falling into an abyss. All
that civilization has meant and stood for fol
10000 years is undermined and opposed by the
Nazi philosophy and technique. There was nevel
la clearer issue as between two sides in any con
tlict in the worlds history than the issue that lies
between democracy and totalitarianism. Every
lctizen who stands in the midst of blackout anC
sees the familiar outlines of his street and his
|houSc fade into obscurity can in this the pos
|sbty of complete destruction Of civilization anC
should do his share in re-lighting the lamps OF
civilization.

. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Nazi ''labor spies" paid by the manu-
facturers but appointed by the occu
patton authorities in Holland, will soor
be active in all factories, it was an
nounced owed the Dutch radio by H. J
Woudenberg, Nazi Labor Front Leader
A decree issued by the Reich's Com
missioner Seyss-Inquart defines theil
qualifications. They will be known as
social foremen" and selected from
among first-class workers only. This
will prevent their being dismissed by
the management on the pretense of in
efficiency. Woudenberg made it clear
that the labor spies will be under his
instructions and that they must belong
to the National Socialist (NazD party
Establishment of the spy system is
only one of many Nazi moves to utter
ly destroy the free Dutch labor unions
According to information from Lon
don, the Germans are dealing a crippl
ing blow to the world-fanous Dutch
dairy industry, in an effort to increase
the supply OF fats for their Unsuitable
war machine.
The Nazi authorities have ordered
the plowing of an additional 1877, 7,OO(
acres of pasture land, to be used fol
the growing of rape-seed, which is ar
important source of vegetable oil. The
100000 COWS hitherto pastured ON this
land must be slaughtered. Added tC
previous slaughterings, this means a
reduction of at least one-third of the
total dairy herd.
The slaughtering of the 100000 cattle
will produce some 4S million pounds OF
fats and meats, all of which will &C
to Germany. In addition, the Germans
can be expected to derive about 7(
million pounds of vegetable oil annual
ly from the rape-seed grown ON the
former pasture land, against the ap
proximately 80 million pounds of fats
which could have been obtained from
the milk of the slaughtered cows.
The result of this action is, however
that after the liberation it will take at
least five years to repair the damage
done to Netherlands dairy farming.

An inspiring call for the abolition OF
''sea slums' has been sounded by Philip
Noel Baker, new secretary Of the Brit
ish Ministy of War Transport.
Investigation of welfare provisions
for merchant Seamen was one of his
first major tasks during an inspection
tour of British ports Particular atten-
ton was paid to the land accomoda-
tons and resting places for British,
Dutch, Norwegian, and West Indian
sailors.
Seamen's conditions and accomoda-
tiOn aboard ship greatly improved since
the outbreak of the war, a check-up
aboard newly built cargo ships and
tankers revealed.
h Speaking before an audience of sea-
men, marine officials and shipyarG
workers, Noel Baker emphatically de
clared:
1--WE have begun to understand the
debt we, and the whole world, owe to
the merchant seamen, and the Govern
ment has striven to improve their lot
and mitigate their hardships. This i'm
provement will certainly continue after
the war, and slums will disappear at
sea as well as on land"

Recent arrests of saboteurs ought to
make it plain to every American that
we are engaged in war in which no
holds are barred. We must be ON
GUARD.
The trials have brought out shocking
facts. Alien agents landed on our
shores and, but for what we may as
we'll call lucky breaks might well
have got their murderous program I'M
der way.
We know about the ones that got
| caught. We don't know whether there
are enemy agents who haven't been
caught.
The clear warning sign for all Of us
| is this: BE ON GUARD EVERY
WHERE!
This is no time for easy going or for
monkey business.
| 1t is no time for kidding about the
national safety.
Especially every worker must be on
guard.
Months ago there were warnings
against sabotage.
| 1t was one thing to be warned that
sabotage was possible, or even prob
able.
1t was another thing to know that
enemy aliens actually had been landed
| from boats for an invasion job.
The mouthings of year ago that no
| enemy could land on our shores sound
pretty hollow now.
One enemy agent, with adequate
equipment, could do as much damage
as a regiment of open armed forces.
Do we remember the Black Tom
explosion of that other war? Some of
us do.
1t was the work of concealed
enemy crew.
We can all be glad the eight in
vaders were caught and promptly dealt
with.
We hope there are no more and we
surely don't want any more.
BUT, we cannot be sure there are no
more already among us.
We must shun panic, but WE MUST
EVERY ONE OF Us BE ON THE
ALERI II ER1 I1OUR.

And the first and simplest thing for
everyone to do is to SHUT UP!
Most folks enjoy passing along a
good story. Most folks like to have
their friends think they have inside
dope"
Well, if we do have inside dope,
lo@s. -
mouths shut.
No civilian is qualified to know when
a fact noised around may prove help
full to the enemy Keep still SHUT
UP.
Not only are there facts to keep still
about-there are rumOrs that should
die in their tracks. Don't pass rumors
along.
Enemy agents purposely plant
rumors FOR THEIR PURPOSES.
Don't help them.
We can do good job for the war
by putting a paddock on our lips ''for
the DURATION
Do you remember those magazine
pictures of few days ago, showing
how ship was sunk because haber-
dasher told his family he had been
kept late at his shop by rush order
for shirts for tropical duty (which
must be delivered by Friday night?"
An enemy agent heard--a torpedo
slipped into the water "a ship was
sunk.
1t was all because of an innocent re-
port to his family by a man overjoyed
to have Il small part in eGuipping an
officer.
In the shop, in the mill or mine, in
the store, on the street, there are
developments that should be kept
secret
Some millions of Americans now
know some facts about war work. 1t
isn't easy to keep from talking about
these things.
But remember that lives may be
saved if YOU don't talk. Battles may
be lost, ships may be lost, if you do
talk.
If we lose enough battles and enough
ships, we can lose the war
WE MUST NOT LOSE THE WAR.
Help toward victory by KEEPING
YOUR SECRETS
DON'T HELP THE ENEMY TO
KNOW WHAT AMERICA is DOING.
BE A SOLDIER OF SILENCE! -
