ional war manpower directors by War

Paul " McNutt. McNutt's instruc-
tions to his staff were issued in pur-
suance of General Order No. 8 issued

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

(From Cedar Rapids. Ia, Tribune)
Anything that impedes the ex-
change of ideas, or that prevents the
development of ideas in the first place,
is treason to the race. 1t doesn't mat
ter what the idea is; it should have it's
freedom.
If it is bad, its badness will soon be
recognized and it will quietly die. If
it is half bad, the good part can be
salvaged If it is all good, it is an as
set to humanity.
And what judge is wise enough to
say, when an idea is newborn, wheth-
er it is good, bad or Indifferent? 1t
will have to be studied awhile before
it's true character is perceived.
That was one of the things Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United
States Supreme Court meant when he
said that freedom of speech meant
not only freedom for ideas we like
but freedom for thoughts we abhor

LABOR OPPOSITION
BRINGS SHELVING OF
I'LL. BILL PUTTING
UNIONS CONTROL
UNDER POLITICIANS

Chicago GLNS). - A easure
which would have placed labor unions
under political control has been
shelved by the committee on indus
trial affairs of the Illinois House Of
Representatives
The House committee voted to
postpone consideration of the bill, in
troduced by Rep. Alan E. Ashcraft,
Jr., to June 80, the last day for this
session of the legislature. It's enact
ment at this session thus became an
impossibility.
Appearing before the committee in
opposition to the legislation were
Reuben G. Soderstrom, president, and
Victor A. Olander, secretary -treasur-
er, Illinois State Federation of Labor.
The Ashcraft bill contained these
highly Objectionable provisi on S,
among others:
/. 1t required licensing of all
business representatives by the state
auditor, and consequently would have
paved the way for political spoils
system in the labor movement.
2 1t would have made union rec
ords, financial or otherwise, the prop
erty of politicians by compelling them
to turn such records over to the state
auditor.
3. 1t provided that the circuit
court of any county of the state may,
without jury and under the civil
practice act, suspend or revoke the Ii
cense of business representatives.
A. 1t provides that "any person or
labor organization" violating the pro-
visions of the act shall be adjudged
guilty of misdemeanor and be pun
ished by fine not exceeding $500"
In opposing the bill, the state fed
GRAFTON declared that it "was clearly
designed to put the unions under poll
tical CONTROL" and asserted that ''its
passage would make Illinois a great
harvest field for racketeers, political
and otherwise"

PRODUCTION ALL
THAT COUNTS IN
WOMEN'SPAY,
BUREAU DECLARES

Kansas City (ILNS).-Emphasiz-
ing the production chart as the only
real measure of efficiency for women
workers, Miss Mary Anderson, head
Of the Women's Bureau, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor urged women's pay
should be the same as for men on the
same job. She spoke before the Assoc
citation of Operative Millers in annual
convention here.
Quoting a War Labor Board panel
as asserting that the equal pay issue
for women was being clouded by the
"frictions and fallacies" of female
physiology, Miss Anderson declared
that differences in pay rates for men
and women would lead to trouble
later.
"Men and women are interchange
able now on too many jobs to make
this practice tenable," she said. "The
logic Of it seems inescapable to me.
If the woman is kept on at lower
rate after the training period is over
and her production record compares
favorably with the mans she replaced
the employer can be accused of ex-
plotting women. No employer likes to
have that word used about his employ
ment practices.
"And the man who wants his job
back after the war can complain that
the woman is underwriting him. No
women feels she can be held RESPONSE
BILE for this underwriting, although
she recognizes the injustice done more
keenly than the man."

CLOAK AND SUIT
MAKERS GAIN
OLD-ACE PENSIONS

New York City-After lengthy ne
gotiations between the Joint Board of
the Cloak, Suit, Skirt and Refer
Makers Unions, representing $4,000
workers, and the employers associa-
tions in the industry, new contract
for five years was negotiated.
The outstanding feature of the new
contract is the acceptance by the in
dustry of an Old-Age Retirment Plan
whereby the manufacturers will con-
tribute three percent of their weekly
payroll for the establishment of a
fund to provide pensions for workers
who have reached the age of 65 or
over, and are desirous of retiring from
the industry.
The establishment of the fund
marks the recognition by the cloak
and suit industry of it's obligations to
the workers who have spent their lives
in building this industry and who will
under the provisions of the plan, be
secured in their old age.
In addition to the retirement plan,
the contract provides clause for the
readjustment of wages in the event of
further rises in the cost of living, or
a change in the present wage formula,
known as the Little Steel Formula. y
The contract also provides that cer-
tain matters pertaining to more effec-
tive control of the industry, equitable
distribution of work and the use of
modern steam pressing irons shall be
referred to a Board of Stability and
Control, composed of all parties to the
contract, and in the event they fail to
agree, these matters are to be re-
ferred to the Impartial Chairman of
the Industry.

NORFOLK LABOR
ORGANIZES TO HELP
CONTROL PRICES

Norfolk, Va. QLNS)-Organized
labor here is acting to aid in control
of food prices, which are soaring in
this area, as everywhere.
Following organization of district
labor advisory committee to the Office
of Price Administration, American
Federation of Labor, Congress of In
dustrial Organizations, and railroad
labor unions issued one-page printed
paper.
Called "We the People," the paper
is the official organ of the OPA Labor
Advisory Committee and deals only
with problems of price and rationing.
"All consumers are urged to make
sure that the ceiling prices of all es-
sential foodstuffs are actually post
ed" the article declared.
"1-If they are not posted, ask the
storekeeper to post these prices and
tell him that another check will be
made. 2-When you find any prices
higher than the top ceiling prices on
your list, point out the illegal price
and ask him to reduce it Immediately.
3-If on the return trip, he has failed
to reduce the illegal prices, make a
purchase, get receipt and bring the
receipt to your local ration board.
4-f your complaint does not receive
immediate attention then notify the
Labor Advisory Committee, for fur
ther action"

Flag-Salute Bill Vetoed

Boston (ILNS). - Although passed
by large vote in the state legisla-
ture, Gov. Robert o. Blood of New
Hampshire has vetoed bill requiring
school children to salute the flag un-
der penalty of expulsion. 1t is under
stood the Governors veto was based
upon an opinion by the Attorney Gen
eral that the statute would probably
be held unconstitutional in view of the
recent decisions of number of state
and federal courts and a prospective
decision from the U. S. Supreme
Court reversing the Gobitis case of
1910.

comrades.
While engaged in freeing the
trapped men, the citation said, an
other shell exploded nearby, further
covering the men and Gillis "The
prompt and courageous action of
Gillis resulted in the saving of the
lives of the men in the caved-in fox
hole," it continued.
On another occasion the union man
saved comrades when gasoline load
ed barge was hit by an enemy bomb.
Gillis was thrown from the barge
but assisted in rescuing his shipmates,
the citation concluded.

Real social security means work-se-
cure, productive, happy jobs. To get
these you need an approach to the
problem of organization of industry
very different from that which ami
mated most governments in dealing
with this question in the past"
Morrison appealed for "the spur of
public ownership or constructively ap-
piled control" of industry to avoid the
pre-war spectacle of widespread un-
employment.

His versatility as a scientist was
