Keep vigiIonf!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There is one pitfall which Labor
has escaped perhaps more completely
than any other group, one enemy at
tack which it has recognized and re-
pulsed again and again-the attempt
to disrupt the nation by attack on
minority groups, whether they be of
national origin or Of religious faith.
Organized Labor from the begin
mig was keenly aware of the dangers
in this form of propaganda for, as a
minority in its early days, the same
divisive tactics were tried against it,
In every convention Labor has gone
on record against discrimination and
false generalizations TO some this was
an indication of the liberalism of La
Dor. But to others it was really proof
of LabOr's cOnServatiSm-Of an intense
desire to conserve the unity without
which the organized labor movement
cannot exist
1t was this unity of purpose, this
sloughing off of old pre.judices and
hatreds that was LabOr's greatest
strength in the past Now this strength
must be kept great We must not mere
~ do lip service to old ideals, we must
put them into practice and we must
guard them with ever-wakeful vigil
ance
An attempt is being made now by
those who would seek to destroy our
democracy, to set little fires alight,
hoping to fan them into confagratiOns
that would sabotage our unity The
plan is simple-tO hyphenate man
by faith or national origin and then to
set group against group, to confuse by
lies to arouse anger by falsehoods, to
fan prejudiceS by MISUNDERSTANDING
Scurrilous jokes, scathing generaliza
lions, appeals to defensive lOyalties,
are all part of the program.
Labor must be continually alert to
ward off such destructive attempts and
attacks upon it, The men of Labor are
Americans, believers in the GOd-given
rights of man, brothers i'm the strug-
gle upward to Il better world where
men may speak the truth as they see
it, work for the advancement of their
fellow men as well as of themselves.
1t was to further these ideals that
those who preceded us came to these
shores. 1t was to carry out these ideals
that we became Il nation. 1t is to the
furtherance of these ideals that the
men of Labor are dedicated Let us,
who believe in unity, again present Il
united front against this mental sabo.
tage, accepting our fellow worker as
We are accepting and proving that we
stand firm now as in the past, free
from the shackles of prejudiceS.

War Production

Columbus, OhiO-There were 27,2S1
claims filed with the Industrial Com
mission in April, including 96 death
claims, cue to accidents occurring in
various industries in Ohio, Chairman
Will Il. Blake reported.
This was slight decline in the
number of accidents reported over the
previous month. However, four months
totals for the year indicate an increa Sc
of 100 per cent over the first four
months of 1939-an average year-and
13.1 per cent increase over the first
four months of 1912.
Accidents to workers in whatever
field of activity they may be engaged,
constitutes a serious handicap to pro-
ductiOn, so vital to the war effort
said Chairman Blake land presents a
problem that is closely allied with the
absentee problem and manpower short
age.'
Death claims for April increased by
seven over the number filed in the
previous month, and six more than
were filed in April of 1912.
Financial report for April disclosed
$1,515, ,7O222 paid to claimants during
the month. This is $235 ,S96.O1 less than
was paid in March.
Balance in the wOrkmen's cOmpensa-
tion funds on April 80 was $11O,641,-

of $7S,O68, ,5SO.53 for the bi-weekly pay

Teamwork Gives
Results At Crdrnp
Shipbuildi Yard
Joint Action Of Labor And
Management Held Key To
Speedy Ldunchings

Philadelphia. ia.-Founded over cen
tury ago, the Cramp Shipbuildins Com
pany here has served the country in
five wars. Today union and manage,
ment at this shipyard are dcmonstra-
ing something new in industrial rela-
tions that may well make as great a
contribution to Americas future rs
their fighting ships are making to the
winning of the war.
One recent Sunday, four new Navy
craft slid down the ways at Cramps
ahead of schedule. AbSenteeism, once
painfully high in some departments
has fallen off sharply. 1t is not sur
prising therefore that the Yards
Labor Mana cement Committee is serv-
ing rs il pattern to other industries.
Realistic Dealing
Back of this success is realistic deal
ing by men and management with the
human problems of production. Says
II. Birchard Taylor, vice president of
the Yard, and direct descendant of its
| founder:
"In Cramp Shipyard today the hn-
man problems focus to large extent
in the Labor-Mlanagement Committee.
an instrument of relations which the
Yard never had before in its long his
| tory. :.
| "SOme executives are dubious about
the value of the management
Committee idea. However, as Il result
of my experience ut Cramp | find it of
great value, even though we have not
| fully passed through the suspicion
stage to one of complete mutual trust
. This does not mean that problems
or difficulties will not arise, The i'm
portant thing is to have Il relationship
and spirit that will effectively meet
these problems as they do arise"
Bring Home The Bacon
Union officials likewise emphasize
the need for the spirit of RESPONSE
bility and teamwork. I'VE can and we
will lick this business of absenteeism
and beat down criticism,' says Her
bert ID. Meyer, executive secretary Of
shipyard workers Local AZ. "All we

pitching in the true spirit of patriot
ism and loyalty, and place the reSpOn-
Sibility of being ON the job every work
day right in the hearts of every loyal
member of Local AZ, and we will bring
home the bacon" Management, he
says, is cooperating with the union in
the drive against absenteeism in the
shipyard.
COrroborating these views in an adj
dress OH industrial Statesmanship'

it can be done through joint action OF

american Federation OF Labor
Washington, d. c., May & 1929.
Mr.. Matthew Vol,
Fourth Vice President,
American Federation of Labor,
New York, New York.
Dear Sir and Brother:
In reply to your letter of April Goth,
may | first explain that the American
Federation of Labor has SteadfaStly
refrained from giving approval or en-
dorsement to a protective tariff or to
schedules as represented in the term
frequently used, free trade"
1t has been the policy Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, however, to
cooperate with and to assist National
and International Unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor in presenting demands to Con-
gress for an increase or decrease in
tariff schedules affecting industries In
which men and women were employed
over which these National and Inter
national Unions exercised jurisdiction.
This means that each National and
International Union may shape its own
policies regarding tariff schedules with
a feeling of assurance that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor would re-
spond to any request made for cooper
alton and assistance.
This policy will be pursued with re-
gard to the tariff policies pursued by
the organizations which you explain
are component parts Of the America s
Wage Farmers Protective Conference.
IsiCH ol lIieSe DISiHiIatloIlS IoE WHICH
you are authorized to speak may feel
assued that the American Federation
of Labor will assist and cooperate with

policies as they may formulate and de-
vide upon.

AEL Executive Council Condemns
Trade Treaty Provisions

Coming more specifically to fatfIr0-
cal trade treaties the Executive COun-
ell of the American Federation of La
Dor, at its meeting held during the
Session April 25th to May 9Th, 1898
at Washington, ID. c., unanimously
adopted the following Resolution;
Executive Council Minutes April 25
to May 3, 1893, Washington, ID. ca
Resolution unanimously adopted by
Federation of Labor"
WHEREAS, the provisions Of re-
ciprocal trade treaties negotiated by
the State Department with foreign ma
lions affect very vitality both the eco
nomic conditions of American workers
and unemployment and there are many
organizations, representing thousands
of workers, affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor which are
seriously affected by these trade
treaties and for that reason are deep
~ interested in their provisions, and
WHEREAS, the economic and indus
trial interests Of these workers demand
that the American Federation OF La
Dor exercise all efforts possible to pre-
vent the importation OF goods from
foreign countries, under the provisions
of reciprocal trade treaties, where
lower wages, longer hours and lower
standards prevail than exist In com
peting industries within the United
States
THEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED,
that the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor ex-
presses its opposition to reciprocal
trade treaties W h ch discriminate
against American Workers. We are
opposed to reciprocal trade treaties
provisions which provide for impOrta-
because of low labor costs abroad, are
sold mt Il lower price than the same
goods and merchandise produced by
workers in the United States. where
wages and conditions of labor are
established on higher standard than
those which prevail abroad, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that "A committee representing the
American Federation of Labor be ac-
corded the privilege of presenting La
bor's point OF view relating to the pro-
visions Of reciprocal trade agreements
affecting Labor before said agreements
are negotiated and ratified.
You will note that the Executive
Council expressed opposition to Re
ciprocal Trade Treaties which dis
criminate against American workers.
Under the terms OF opposition cited In
the Resolution, unanimously adopted
by the Executive Council of the Amer
ical Federation of Labor on Kecipro-
cal Trade Treaties, such Reciprocal
Trade Treaties are seemingly impos-
sible of accomplishment
