HOPEFUL SIGN
(From the Evening Star,
Washington, ID. CO

Much C n d e m n IN has been
heaped on the head of bureaucracy
since this war started and there will
be more of it before this war is over.
All the more reason, therefore, to
give credit where credit is due. In
this case it is due the Office of Price
Administration and the War Food
Administration for their joint assur-
ance to the harassed citizen that it is
illegal to force him to buy, with his
ice cream, an equal amount of sherbet
or some other frozen confection.
The innocent customer, knowing he
could not get a tube of tooth paste
without turning in an old tube, ac-
cepted without complaint the edict
that made him purchase a frozen mix
ture of indescribable content along
with his ice cream. He thought it was
part of the war effort. To learn that
it IS not, is one of the most hopeful
things that has happened in Washing
ton since gasoline was rationed. Other
civil liberties, one believes, may be
just around the corner.

AFL-CIO Committee
Condemns All
TOtalitarian Rule

Philadelphia (ILNS). = Following
heated debate, the United Labor Com
mittee, representing more than 130,-
1000 American Federation of Labor
and Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tion members in the Philadelphia
area, adopted a constitution with a
clause barring from office any one
affiliated with any organization that
believes in the philosophy of totali-
tartan government"
The clause was attacked by several
CIO delegates, who charged it was a
direct hit at Soviet Russia and urged
changes to make ineligible only those
who believe in Fascist totalitarian
government.
The clause, while providing that no
e leg ates shall be Disseminated
against because of race, creed, color
or political belief, states that the COM
mittee condemns all forms of dicta-
torship and all forms of totalitarian
government as inimical to the well
fare of labor and destructive to our
form of government"
James L. McDevitt, chairman of the
Philadelphia Central Labor Union and
president of the State Federation of
Labor was elected first chairman of
the new organization, formed for
political action. Charles F. Weinstein
of the CIO Amalgamated Clothing
Workers was named vice-chairman;
Joseph McDonough of the Building
Trades Council was elected treasurer,
and John Feldman also of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers, secre-
taly.

Illinois Employers Told
They May Not Deny
Job Act Benefits

Chicago (ILNS) Employers can
not place restrictions on workers pos
sible eligibility for unemployment
compensation benefits as a condition
to releasing them for work with other
firms, State Director of Labor Fran
els B. Murphy warned.
"a number of cases have recently
come to the attention of the Division
of Unemployment Compensation in
which employers have granted re-
leases to workers in order that they
might accept new jobs in war produc-
tion on the condition that no claims
would be made for unemployment
compensation benefits based on previ-
Gus earnings" Murphy said. "Such
stipulations are not only without
validity, but they are in direct viola
tion of the terms of the Illinois I'm
employment Compensation Act"

Farm Employment Still
Low, Industrial Jobs Soar

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Total
number of persons employed on farms
May was 10,492,000, the Department
of Agriculture says. This is a decrease
of 100000 or about percent since
May l, 1912, but an increase of L.
$4,000 from April 1, 1943. Employ
ment of both family workers and
hired workers decreased from a year
earlier, with hired workers down rela-
lively much more than family work
ers. Compared with year earlier,
hired employment declined $4,000 to
2,244,O00 persons employed on May 1,
1943, while family worker employ
ment declined $4,000 to 8,248,O00
persons employed on that date.
These changes brought the number
of workers in both classes of farm
employment to the lowest levels of
record for the month a situation
that has occurred repeatedly since
farm employment reached an all-time
low in January of this year. This is
in sharp contrast with nonagricultural
employment, which during the same
period has repeatedly exceeded previ-
Gus high records. All geographic di-
visions showed decreases since May,
1912, in total farm employment, ex-
cept the Pacific States, where there
was percent increase resulting

Farm Labor's Rights
Held Curbed In Bill
Signed By President

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-A bill
appropriating federal funds to assist
migratory farm labor, opposed by the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union, the
American Civil Liberties Union and
other agencies, has been signed by
President Roosevelt despite many ap-
peals for a veto.
Opposition to the bill was based
upon provisions which prohibit the
use of federal funds to move farm
laborers from their home counties
without permission of the county
agent, and on another clause prohibit
ing the use Of federal money to en-
courage organization, collective bar
gaining or efforts for the improve
ment Of the conditions of farm lab
orers.
The Southern Tenant Farme er
Union asserted that one of the effects
of the bill would be to freeze farm
workers in the counties in which they
live, thus depriving farmers in other
areas Of their services when they are
unemployed. 1t is charged that the
clauses in the bill were written in the
interests of big farm operators desir-
Gus of keeping down wages and or
ganization.

workers, and the New England states,
where only small increase occurred.
Reports indicate that recent Selec-
tive Service regulations have consid-
erably relieved apprehension regard
ing further losses of farm workers.

returning to farms from non-essential
work and some men over 38 are re-
turning after release by the Army.

Organization Formed
To Combat Race
Discrimination

New York City (ILNS).-A nation
wide movement to do away with race
discrimination in the war effort has
been announced by Pearl S. Buck,
chairman of the Committee Against
Race Discrimination of the American
Civil Liberties Union, which has been
studying the problem in the past
year.
With neucleus of 26 national or
ganizations, each having positive
program for race equality, continu-
ing conference has been formed to
consolidate efforts and to work out
ways of abolishing discrimination and
segregation in the armed forces, de-
fense industries, and other war agen-
cieS.
Member organizations of the con-
ference initiated series of meetings
devoted to six major aspects of the
discrimination in the war situation,
the armed forces, government en-
ployment, the voluntary services, in
dustry and trade-unions, housing, ed
ucation and training.
The Conference Against Negro Dis
elimination includes white, interra-
cial, and colored organizations. The
emphasis, Miss Buck said, will be
upon getting more white organiza-
tions to undertake their share of re-
sponsibility in overcoming discrimina-
tory practices.
