GOVERNMENT USING
DANGEROUS POWER
(FrOm The Nationl

The U. S. Post Office has decided to
deny second-class mailing privileges
to an obscure organ called the Mill
tant on the ground that it has at
tempted ''to embarrass and defeat the
government in it's effort to prosecute
the war" From the little we have
seen of the periodical and from what
we know of leftist splinter politicians,
we find it easy to believe that the
Militant entertained such gaudy am
bitions but impossible to believe that
it had the faintest chance of realizing
them.
Censorship of the press is in it's ma
ture SO risky that we favor a rigid
adherence to the Holmes doctrine of
taking no action except in cases of
"clear and present danger" If the
Militant represented anything like
menace of, say, Social Justice we
would witness it's complete suppress
sion without a qualm But few facts
should make apparent the fatuousness
of the Post Offices solemn action in
the case of the Militant.
Of the papers total circulation of
10000 (probably an inflated figure),
only about 1,200 readers receive their
copies through the mail Presumably
these are subscribers, and as such
confirmed Trotskyists of the same
persuasion as the Militant's editors.
They don't need the paper to be
stirred to the heretical belief that this
is an imperialist war; they start out
with that conviction.
In short, the Post Office is using a
dangerous power so that 1000 individ-
uals will no longer learn by second
class mail what they already think
they know. The government has been
sparing in the use of it's censorship
powers in this war, and we are sorry
to see it set dangerous precedent to
so little purpose.

Basic State Labor Standards Found
Preserved by Temporary Relaxation
OF Laws to Meet War Emergency
Figure on Permits Shows That Hard Won Labor Stand
ards Still Hold; Standards Adjusted To
Meet COuntry's War Labor Methods

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-State
labor departments, by relaxing labor
laws temporarily to meet war produc-
tion emergencies, have preserved
basic standards, the u. S. Department
of Labor, Division of Labor Stand
ards, says. State reports, covering the
period from Pearl Harbor to Dec. 81,
1912, analyzed by the division, tell
this story.
Behind the figures on permits
granted and denied lies the fact that
hard-won labor standards still hold,
the division reports. The states have
adopted flexible and efficient methods
of adjusting these standards to meet
the country's needs during the war.
They have encouraged employers to
return to legal hours standards as
quickly as possible. Many of the state
laws require a 48-hour week, an g.
hour day, day Of rest in 7, and ade-
quate rest and meal periods. The
War, Navy, and Labor Departments
recognized in January, 1912, that
these standards promote maximum
sustained production, the division
emphasizes.
Many DispensatiOns Unused
Employers often have been able to
adjust to these standards, after the
first rush into war production For
example, in New York state immedi-
ately after Pearl Harbor, there was a
great demand for broad variations-a
regular 7-day workweek for men and
