DICTATORSHIP METHODS BREED ILL-WILL

A MEXICAN WORKERS are placing winning of
war ahead of everything else and are ready
to make all necessary sacrifices to that end. 1t is
asking too much of human nature, however, that
they should not feel resentment when forced to
abide by arbitrary manpOWer controls used to
make up for faulty war production administra-
ton.
For instance workers sent to job only to
find the plant closed for want of materials or
workers forced to keep jobs at substandard wages
that should be remedied by War Labor Board
action are likely to be resentfu when made to
bear the brunt of these mistakes.
Lack of coordination between war agencies
can penaize workers and be dangerous to morale.
The nation has one agency to deal with man
power problems, another with price problems, an
other with production problems and still another
with wages These problems are closely related
that an effort to deal with them separately may
cause great injustice An effort has now been
made to have handling of all these problems CO.
ordnated by an overall agency, the new Office
of War Mobilization. How well this will succeed
remains to be seen.
In the meantime, the tendency at Washington
toward dctatorial methods of handling manpower
reamins strong. This can be dangerous. AS the
American Federation of Labor says with almost
limitless powers in government hands, dictator
ship methods could destroy democracy and Great
a tyranny in the attempt to solve manpower prob
lemS.'
And, as the AEL further points out, "We must
guard against this, remembering that resort to
force shows bankruptcy of craftsmanship"

WILL ANSWER BACK AT POLLS

MILLIONS Of our fighting men and war workers
1'A would feel Just like Signaman Evan Owen
Jones Of the T. S. Navy, if they too could see and
hear for themselves just what is going on in Con-
gress and some Of the state legislatures.
Jones had been away two years fighting for
democracy. He entered the House gallery when
the anti-poltaX bill was being debated.
He listened, for as long he could stand it,
to the poltaXers ranting against democracy, in
citing race hatred and opposing the right to vote.
Then he too demanded to be heard, asking "why
man must pay tribute for the right to vote
'lm disgusted," Jones said. 81 admire democ-
racy, and think this is the greatest country in the
world, but people shouldn't be acting like this
when we should be fighting this war"
Labor is challenging the constitutionaty of
these state anti-labor laws 1t will remember at
the polls any member who supports there meas
ureS.
But most Americans are so preoccupied with
working and fighting to win this that they
don't realize how far the domestic political in
trigue against their liberties has been carried
If they saw and heard for themselves what is
going on, their protest would be as verferous as
that Of Sgnalman Jones.
Labor's absenteeism from the polls in 1912
was as bad as a military defeat. In organizing to
fight the present mess Of union-busting legisla-
ton, every union member should realize that
political action to defend democracy is as essential
as working or fighting for democracy.

SERVICE MEN AID FOOD OUTPUT

Washington, d. C.-The Army and
Navy are lending a hand on the food
front at home by planting hundreds of
acres in Victory Gardens at training
camps, hospitals, and other military
establishments throughout the country.
At some Army camps, prisoners of war
are being assigned to work in the
gardens although much of the labor
will be performed by men volunteer
ing from the enlisted ranks The large
scale garden projects, usually rang
ing from 80 to so acres have been au-
thorized by the War and Navy De-
partments. Seed is available from
stockpiles maintained by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. In addition to
yielding many thousand tons of vege-
tables and permitting IA greater variety
of fresh vegetable rationS for the men,
the production of heavy truck crops at
points of consumption also will re-
lieve transportation facilities.

1t may surprise many to learn that

existing on sufferance of the Axis
trade unions are still functioning and
not afraid to champion democracy and
talk of better world that must come
after the war
The Hungarian trade unions recent
ly observed 40 years of existence Not

general published lengthy apprecia
tions of their progress in organization

The unions played a predominant
part in all past social reforms and i'm

The unions weathered the first
World War and the subsequent inter.
nal chaos successfully and it looks as
if they will assume leadership in the
present crisis, the International Fed
GRAFTON of Trade Unions comments. AT
ii demonstration celebrating the unions
40 years, the president of the Trade
Union Federation declared that ths
task of the labor movement today is to
rally all the democratic forces of the
country to united action. Here is a
sample of what he said:
"a union of free men with leaders
elected on a democratic basis, that
was and is our trade union movement
For that the blood of countless work
ers has been shed. They gave us the
strength for our struggle.
Neither prison nor blackshirts nor
hunger can prompt us to seek the pro
lection of any kind of patrons. We
need only the masses and here today
they represent the nation"
"When this war is over" the speak
er also said, 1.-The people will return to
their occupations and their homes.
Those who believe that we will then
begin where we formerly left off, are
making a grave mistake. Mankind has
suffered too much for that. We must
and shall create a new world, in which
no one endures hunger through unem-
ployment or has to beg sustenance for
his old age.
"And we will not allow ourselves to
be diverted from this path. We de-
mand equal rights and equal duties
for all. The real creative workers.,
whether llectuaI or manual,
whether in trade, industry or agri-
culture, must stand together to achieve
this goal"
The speaker closed with an appeal
to the workers for national and inter
national unity. His words did not set
so well in certain circles and the In
ternational Federation of Ira d e
Unions says that 1T is only to be ex-
pected that the labor meeting is evok-
ing alarm and opposition among reac
tionaries of all shades of opinion"

Labor News From Britdin

LOndOn.-Recent speeches of Bri
Morrison, have deservedly attracted
IattentiOn both at home and overseas by
reason of the qualities of the vision
IcommonScnse and practical statesman
ship they reveal.

called the problem group of the very

Mr.. MorriSon'S reference ON the

mothers in working class homes. OF

spoke with real insight and construc,
tive purpose. His speech was impor.
Itant as containing the outline of Il new
Charter for mothers and children. He
formulated Il program of homemalIne
las an essential feature of postwar re,
construction.
Imperative Needs To BE Met
For the typical working class wife
with children, Mr.. Morrison pointed
out these is no eight-hour day. Her
spread over" is more like il fourteen
monotonouS. The strain of it is in
creased by the constant need To plan
and cOntrive 81 that every shilling
should do the work of eighteen pence.
She had all too little chance of rccre-
IaliOn, very rest ricted holidays and
sometimes none, and not much chance
Iof social life. lI-health, chonic minor
illnesses, are Il consequence of these
conditions, leading often to serious dis
ease. And impaired health of the wifi"
and mother causes home-making to
lose its freshness, and the family
suffers inevitably. Yet her patience
pluck and forlitude, pass belief.
Abuses such as these, the Minister
declared, must be removed by Il new
Charter of Motherhood and Childhood.
Some of the most imperative needs we
know will be mct-for example, better
housing and the clearance of Slum, or
|near-slum homes. Mr. Morrison re-
minded his hearers that big start
was made after The last war in wiping

Progress have also been made in

evils of unemployment and sickness.

Government is pledged, will abolish the
extreme aspects of poverty which at
tend the struggle to raise Il good sized
family on low wages or unemployment
insurance pay.
Plans are being worked out, too, to
provide Il complete health service of
high quality for all citizens. Mr.. Nor
riSon did not refer to one development
i'm this field, which has awakened the
active interest of the Trade Unions
and local Trades Councils. In the re-
port which will come before the i'm
pending Annual Conference of Trades
Councils at the end of May, the Gen
eral Council of the Trades Union Con-
greSS directs attention to the compre-
henSive scheme of the Ministry Of
Health providing for the examination
and treatment of persons who may be
suffering from tuberculosis. This
scheme, which is the outcome of con
SultatonS between Trades Union Con
greSS and the Minister of Health, pro-
NideS for the Use of mass photography
,l. t,,I,
tientS, and the provision of mainten-
ancc grants during treatment. A Spe
cial committee of local authorities is
working out the scheme, practically
the whole cost of which will be met by
the Treasury.
Mr.. Herbert Morrison, insisted that
there must be other clauses i'm the
Charter for wives and children. There
must be not only social security on IA
minimum basis, he said, but security
of employment on decent income The
woman in the home is the worst Suf-
ferer from the lack of it. She must
never again herself be forced by sheer
need to so to work outside her home
but he added that women must have
the opportunity as men have to work
outside if they wish to, and that will
only be possible under full employ
ment policy.
Nursery Schools Vital Part
a striking feature of the Minister'S
statement of policy was the way in
which he linked up the development of
the system of organized nursery
schools, and education for children be-
low school age, with the problem of
our declining population. The nursery
school, as the Minister pointed out, is
Il wartime boon to parents and child
alike. Its regime of fresh air, health
inspection, rest, organized but spon-
taneous activity, companionship and
intelligent supervision, supply Just
those needs which many homes cannot
provide, especially in these days of
diminishing families.
