ORGANIZED LABOR'S GOAL

rNUE LABOR movement OF America demands
for all our people the full benefit of the life
giving forces of our marvellous civilization
through constantly increasing wages and improve
ment of working conditions and through reason
able and proper reduction in the hours of work
The labor movement of America demands fol
the wage earnerS and for all who serve usefully IN
any capacity, a sound and just economic basis fof
life and freedom in the fullest meaning OF those
terms The labor movement OF America has ever
had high regard for the development of the ethical
and spiritual in life, realizing the right OF all
humanity to partake freely OF the satisfaction
that comes to enrich life a result.
The labor movement OF our country, recognZ-
ing the fact that all freedom and all higher de-
velopment Of life, rest upon first providing assuf-
ance Of the essentials of existence, has first de-
manded economic justice as a basis for other
things.
But the labor movement has always taught
that the material is essential to something higher,
and that the inspiration of our movement has its
deepest springs in something above and beyond
the material. The labor movement strives for
economic improvement with unrelenting zeal and
fidelity because economic improvement is the first
fundamental requisite; but it holds out to all man
kind flaming torch lighting the way to greater
fullness Of life, to complete realization of the finer
aspirations of the mind and soul.
The labor movement fixes as its goal nothing
less than the complete richness of life, without
limitations of any kind the attainment Of the
complete human ideal, in all of its economic,
ethical and spiritual mplications-From a Labor
Day and Labor Sunday proclamation suggested by
the AFL convention, 1928.

IA ABOR DAY is the eve of the back-tO-school
- day in this area We hope that the parents of
teen age youngsters who have been gainfully en-
ployed during the summer will insist that these
youngsters go back to high school where they
oelong That is moral obligation which respon-
sible parents owe to their children These young
sters will need all the education they can get in
the fierce competition for jobs which will evolve
in the postwar era.
Taking cognizance of the possibility that child
labor might be used against war veterans in post
war job competition, the National Small Business
Mems Association through it's head, Dewitt
Emery, advocated national legislation on child
labor, and called for the adoption of the Child
Labor Constitutional Amendment which would
give Congress the right to limit, regulate and pro-
hibit labor of persons under 18 years of age.
While this Amendment has been rati-
fled by 28 of SO states needed for adoption-has
certain sinister possibilities, it could be revised
and shaped in such manner that it's objectional
features would be removed. State child labor
enforcement has been woefully inadequate and
and has not prevented the exploitation
and abuse of child labor in many regions, par
ticularly the South. Postwar exigences will re-
quire more, not less, federal regulation in spitel
of all the Estates rights" baderdash which the|
political medicine men have cooked up.
Unless a federal prohibition is enacted, we arel
afraid the growing evil of child labor will fourshI
long after the war emergency has ended.

CUT PRICES AND STIMULATE BUSINESS

OCCASIONALLY an outstanding business man
~ reveals that he has some conception of what
must be done if we are to have anything resembl-
ing prosperity after the war is over The Ma
tional Retail jewelers. Association met at the
Wadorf-Astoria in New York last week. It's presi-
dent, Charles Michaels had this to say.
'"The real problem confronting the jewelry in
dustry and all other industries is that of produc-
ing and distributing in great volume, at prices low
enough to permit everyone to buy and everyone
to work
'We can't wait for production volume before
we lower our prices. The starting point must be
reversed In past years we reduced our prices only
after sales were large enough to guarantee our
profits.
"From now on, if we hope to prosper, we must
start from the other end-not just the manufac-
turers, but wholesalers, too and even more i'm
portant, the retailers.
profits figured on percentage basis are go
ing to be smaller, whether we like it or not. In
creasing the volume of business is the only way
that can. give us increased net income"
In few paragraphs, Mr. Michaels has stated
a great truth. Jobs for all, shorter hours good
wages and prices which will give business an ade-
quate return, without profteering = that's the
formula which will help lot in saving us from
the rocks of another depression.

INTERNATIONALLY THE ARMS INDUSTRY

|0NE OF THE contributing reasons we have
~ wars is that the armament industry is the
biggest kind Of big business and is international
in scope The business of these armament cartels
in the bood-lettng trade. is to contribute to Gre
ating dissention, suspicion and armament races
among nations, as well as class revolutions lndi-
vduals and families have become enormously
wealthy and powerful trafficing in implements of
war and seeing to it that their murderous nstru-
ments are put to lethal use
The best way to keep these professional war
mongers from laying the groundwork of a third
world war, is to nationalize the armament busl-
ness. Out of the future peace conferences should
come an iron-clad understanding among nations
to take over all privately owned arms factories
and to manufacture their own ornaments, limited
by international agreement
This is one public utility too important for any
group Of individuals to control for profit. We don't
want any more Sir Basil ZahrnoH, Krupp Won
Bohens and their ilk to lay their crimson curse
on future generations of men.
The present preliminary four-power confer
ence to prevent future wars, being held in Wash
ington, ID. c., should make this important subject
a topic for settlement at the permanent confer
ence which will be held sometime in the Fall.

REST WAY TO "STREAMLINE" CONGRESS

'TNHE SENATE approved resolution py senator
Maoney of Connecticut creating JOINT COM
mittee of Senate and House to suggest scheme
by which the organization of Congress may be
simplifed. The general idea is to "streamline
the work of Congress.
We don't think it will get very far. When the
House and Senate desire to transact business they
can move as rapidly as any legislative organza-
tion ever conceived by the mind Of man.
In our humble judgment, the way to improve
Congress is to elect intelligent men who are de-
voted to the peoples interest; in other words I'LL

Once that has been accomplished, things Will
begin to happen, for as Speaker Champ Clark OF
Missouri once declared: whatever the rules may
be- a majority Of the members OF the House or

put through any proposal they may favor"
And that brings us to an extremely important
matter Election day is only about two months

the shooting stops in Europe.

LABOR RESOLVED TO WIN THE PEACE

WAR has required the American people to make

But the workers of America will face the
challenge of the future they have responded tc

For the vision we see ahead is too glorious to

surely as we are winning the war.
