Accident Insurance
For Land Army Youth,
Up for Discussion
ChiIdren's Bureau Unit
PurIey Also to Consider
Doy-HouI Program

Accident insurance protection for
young people called to work on the
Nations farms this summer, and the
operation of day-haul programs for
boys and girls living at home were
the topics scheduled for discussion
by the Children's Bureau Subcom-
mittee on Young Workers in Agri-
culture at the final session today
of its two-day conference at the
Labor Department.
Stanley Kershaw of Chicago, di-
rector of the home and farm safety
division of the National Safety
Council, Inc, will direct todays
panel discussion on accident insur-
ance for young workers on farms,
and Mrs. Louise @. Blodgett, Chill
drens Bureau specialist on agricul-
tural employment, will lead the
panel discussion on day-haul pro-
grams and the best methods for Sc
lecting and preparing young persons
for this kind of farm work.
Great Expansion in Program.
Old problems are by no means,
solved, and new ones are constantly
arising, Miss Beatrice M. Mcconnell
of the Children's Bureau told the
conference yesterday. as it opened
its consideration of the Govern
ment's plan for mobilizing young
workers to help meet the growing
shortage of farm labor
Last year the whole youth farm
labor program was but a fraction
of what is planned for this year"
she said. ''It was easier last year
to get farm labor from place to
place than it will be this year, which
means that in shortage areas youth
will be used in increasing numbers"
1t. Col. Jay L. Taylor, deputy ad-
ministrator of the War Food Ad-
ministration, in addressing the con-
ference, said that 3,50O0O0 city resi-
dents must be recruited this year to
work on farms.
Youth-servlng agencies, such as
the YMCA, the YWCA and the Boy
and Girl Scouts, are now working to-
gether in planning certain activities
to assist young workers on farms.
Charles Hendry, research director
of the Boy Scouts of America, told
the conference. These agencies, he
added, can be of nelp in recruiting
units for day haul, in supervising
young farm workers and in estab-
fishing agricultural farm labor
camps for boys and girls.
Points to Late Start.
The responsibility for recruiting
local farm labor rests with the Ex-
tension Service of the Agriculture
Department under the 1943 farm
labor program while that of recruit
ing labor from foreign sources, or
moving it from State to State, de-
wolves upon the War Food Adminis-
tration, herewith C. Wilson of the
Agriculture Department Extension
Service explained.
I'VE are late in getting started"
Mr.. Wilson said, warning that the
country will face an even more
critical farm labor problem in 1914
than this year.
Led by Dr. Edmund Drummer, pro-
fessor Of rural education at Teach
ers College, Columbia, the confer
ence late yesterday held panel dis
cussion of the ways by which State
and local committees can contribute
most effectively to the success of
youth farm labor programs

action in the present major political
parties" but at the same time re-

Labor, the resolution stated, sup
ported the Democratic party in 1896
end 1910 "solely on the basis of what
had been achieved under the guild
ance Of our great President
in social and labor legislation from
the day he took office in 1888"
Asserting that the Democratic
party could not have won In either
OF the past two national elections
without the vote of the workers, the
resolution added that beginning in
1887, the machinery of Congress was
used by certain Tory representatives
In key positions posing as Democrats
to attempt to destroy or cripple most
of the New Deal legislation in con-
spiracy with the Tory Republican
minority"
Another resolution requested the
Federal Government to develop
Southern industries and improve
working conditions in that region.
The resolution stated that although
the South had abundant resources,
the section had the poorest schools,
housing, health and the lowest
wages.

delegates who represent 100000 un-
ion members, called for more eff
ficient enforcement of ceiling prices,
grading of canned fruits and veg
etables. extension of rationing, in
creased food shipments to industrial
areas, and increased appropriations

On the aerial offensive side, Allied

the Hawaiian-born Japanese still
was addressing japanese meetings

Important Decisions on
Conduct and Management nj

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June ia
Dies subcommittee investigating
relocation camps said in a state
ment tonight that "the prepond-
erence of testimony indicates
that the administration of the
Japanese relocation camps has
not been satisfactory"
The committee, which returned
today from an inspection of the
Poston. Ariz., relocation center, held
hearings here this week and last,
taking 100000 words Of testimony.
From the testimony 1t appears, 3"
said the statement, that the con-
duct and management Of the centers
is determined on many matters by
the Japanese themselves. While a
measure OF self-government should
be allowed the Japanese, it should
not extend to the degree indicated.
The testimony reveals the following
undesirable conditions:
Personnel inexperienced.
Il. Project personnel lacks previ-
Gus experience in dealing with Jap
anese people prior to their present
assignments.
2. There has been no adequate
segregation made of loyal and dis
loyal japanese.
"3. Government funds have been
expended unwisely for such things
as teaching the Japanese judo-a
form of Japanese military training;
teaching the japanese to play goh-
a form of japanese checkers; paying
salaries to lecturers who visited the
centers in an effort to install CO.
operatives in the centers.
q. Outbreaks of violence, includ-
ing riots and strikes, induced by the
Kibei group, have occurred, yet the
lnstigators have gone unpunished
IS. L oy al japanese Americans
have suffered beatings at the hands
of pro-Japanese in the centers, yet
the miscreants have gone unpun-
ished. The loyal japanese have not
been afforded the protection to
which they are entitled.
Overcrowding Apparent.
Is. Sufficient work opportunities
for the japanese have not been
provided in the various centers so
as properly to utilize the available
manpower in a constructive manner.
81. While housing has been pro-
vided for all japanese evacuees,
overcrowding is apparent. The lack
of privacy and the existence of
cramped quarters create a condi-
tion that should be Immediately
remedied."
