the importance of jobs for soldiers il

Addressing the 5Oth annual confer

postwar provisions for policing the
country must include an adequate pro
gram for the employment of men dis
charged by the armed forces.
"War affects men in multitude OF
Ways" he said, land adequate pro

The responsibilities for such measures
rest with government, industry, agri.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

If alive today, Samuel Gompers, who
never lost an opportunity to champion
voluntary action, could approve whole
heartedly a recent finding of the In
ternational Labor Office that "al
stable systems of labor relations are
based on voluntary agreement"
The LILO conclusion was based OF
studies of labor conditions in various
countries and was. contained in Il brief
presented to the National War Labor
Board of Canada.
The board is holding public inquiry
| into labor relations and wage cOndi
| tions and will make recommendations
TO the Dominion Government for new
presented in Ottawa at the boards in
vitation.
The brief reviewed labor legislation
in a number of countries, and declared
that experience has shown that the
observance of collective agreements
depends less on penalties for breaches
of the agreement than on the existence
of sui t q b le negotiating machinery
which safeguards the interests of the
parties and is freely accepted by
them"
'"The conclusion that energies most
clearly" the brief said, "seems to be
that all stable systems of labor rela-
tions are based on voluntary agreement
between the principal parties con
cerned-that is, the employers and
workers OrganiZatiOns-tO collabOrate
on the regulation of conditions of EN-
ployment."
This would make glad the heart of
Gompers, who declared in his most
famous advocacy of the voluntary
principle that mo lasting gain has ever
come from compulsion."
In some cases where there was not
voluntary collaboration, the ILO found,
governments had interviewed sin the
interests of social peace and of the
community in general to protect the
development of collective bargaining"
The brief pointed out that the effect
Of legal recognition of collective agree
ments was to bring them within the
class of recognized contracts binding
on the parties. In this way, it said,
employment and wage conditions in the
agreements became minimum stand
ards which could only be departed
from to provide conditions more favor
able to the workers.
Pierre Waelbroeck and /. Bessing of
the lilo Labor Conditions Section pre-
sented the brief, which free labor
movements will undoubtedly cite in
support of the voluntary principle.
The Swedish paper my Dag" men
tions some of the latest acts of sabo-
tage in Denmark, adding the remark
that the Danes concentrate on efforts
which will annoy and hamper the Ger
mans rather than on bloodshed. ct is
evident that in the matter of blood
shed the Germans could soon excel.)
In July, for instance, three saboteurs
blew up Il large movie house which the
Germans used for propaganda films
an important railway bridge near
Aarhus was blown up the machinery
of the biggest factory of railway-cars
was blown up, stopping all production
Il transformator in the Esbjerg cleo
tricity works was destroyed so that
southwest Jutland since then has had
30 per cent less current than usual
some German barracks near Esjberg,
temporarily empty, were burned to the
ground
These are only a few instances that
could be multiplied many times.

You've read about John BOvingdOn.
He was fired by DEW Director Leo
Crowley.
That was after Congressman Martln
Dies got after Mr.. Bovingdon.
Now it is hard to figure out whether
of the play.
1t seems that Mr.. Bovingdon once
did something that Mr.. Dies called
ballet dancing. The Texas Congress
man just couldn't stand for that, so he
went on the rampage.
Mr.. Dies wasn't much impressed by
the fact that Mr. Bovingdon is Il Har-
ward graduate, having majored in eco
nomics, or that he had long scolastlc
record leading now up to his forth
coming masters degree at Columbia.
Mr. Dies is trying hard to be, it
seems, what the comics think Texas
Congressman ought to be.
Mr.. Bovingdon's job with DEW was
a civil service job, so he refused to
resign However, Mr. Crowley, living
up to Mr.. Dies expectation of what a
summarily fired the $4,000 a year
economist, civil service or no civil
service.
Just where that leaves civil service
as protection against whom and
prejudice may be wondered. Somebody
t,rhf IL bD al; sSinn
But this much seems pretty clear:
The whole thing stinks.
Mr.. Dies will be in a devil of a fix
if ever the supply of witches runs out
and there are no more to hunt, or il
his Texas constituents forget to re-
elect him.
If Mr.. Bovingdon did some dancing,
whose business was that, as long as he
did his civil service job properly?
One New York dance team right
now is knocking down $500 a week.
One member of the team, is, of course,
a man. Everybody seems to think both
the man and the girl in the team are
pretty swell. Nobody throws any
stones. All they get is money and
praises
SO, is there some reason why a man
can't use his head for Uncle Sam and
draw his pay, without such cheap and
tow.lry stuff as we have had at the
hands of Mr. Martin Dies and Mr..
Leo Crowley?
This BOvingdOn case is somewhat
like another case now aggravating
those who care about liberty as we
believe it should exist in this country
In Miami, Fla, a school teacher has
been hailed before the school board be-
cause he is a convinced conscientious
objectOr. There has been a public trial
to determine whether the man should
be fired.
A long list of organizations and per-
sons have gone to the defense of the
teacher.
The wonder is, they say, that schoo!
should even consider 4
trial.
In matters such as these we 90
near the witch hunting
idea.
We stand on the brink of an abyss of
intolerance.
We show that there are some who
do not know what democracy is all
about or why the Bill of Rights was
written.
We show that it is necessary to keep
4 sharp watch over our ideals, lest
hey perish in our midst
We show that there are bigoted
people and cheap little people who will
nang anybody if they think they can
make good capital out of it for them
selves.
Also we show that there are bIither-
ng towards among us who will not
stand up and fight for what is right
AS for Mr.. Dies, from the beginning
If his hunting he has done Il little
good, with almost no sense of iudg-
nent between good and bad, so that he
las just about spoiled any good he
night have done.-CMW.

The Finnish public, worried by in

and the Pearl Harbor tea party, ="
in which Finnish officials joined
the japanese in celebrating their

Before we started out, the

took the precaution TO buy a
couple of boxes of cigars.

came running up TO me. He was
actually jumping up and down
with excitement and JOY.
Here, captain" he exclaimed.

and he held them out 10 me"
Saunders made a wry face.
Harley always smoked a pipe
himself-the vilest pipe ] ever
smelled. I guess he wasn't a
very good Judge of cigars.
