PLANNING GROUP SCORES

ONCE AGAIN, in the midst of turmoil, and, at
- a time when political ferver runs high, groups
of labor, farm and business leaders unite upon q
program for America. This time the subject is
social security. The program offered is objective,
non-partisan, constructive This notable, timely
statement is sponsored by the National Planning
Association.
The effort of enemies of social security to
create the impression that business is not for
security advancement is corrected by this bros
chure. Members of the business committee, who
sponsor this statement on social security include
from such prominent corporations
as General Electric Aluminium Company Of
America Johns-Manville, Illinois Central, Her
cules Powder Company, and McGraw-Ilill Pub
fishing Company.
Farmer leaders include Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation, Eastern Oregon Wheat League,
National Cotton Council of America, Giannini
Foundation, General Mills, Inc, and National
Railroad, AFI4 and CIO representatives en-
dorse the program.
The brochure has this to say about the con-
troversial subject of health insurance and med-
cal care:
"Medcal care, including facilities for hospital
iZatiOn and rehabilitation, must be made available
to all our people. An expanded program of hos
ptal and health centre construction, especially in
rural areas is not only essential if this objective
is to be achieved but would also open new avenues
Of employment. A practical method of adequate
medical care and one which would be in keeping
with the desire OF our people to pay their own
way as far as possible would be to make this pro-
vision through social insurance. Under such pro-
gram, insured persons and their families would be
entitled to medical disqualification and neces-
sary rehabilitation measures"
1t is heartening to have an objective statement
in the national interest from such powerful CO.
operating groups

WAGE KCKBACK IN OUR CAPITOL

THE RULERS of the greatest democracy in the
world employ in their Capitol children as page
boys, and in order to evade the child labor laws Of
the District of Columbia they provide a so-caed
school for them, so that their education will not
be neglected.
Federal laws stipulate what they shall be paid
for their work. and Senators and Representatives
are assigned certain number Of them as their
patronage. The boys and their parents use GER
tain forms Of influence to accomplish appoint
ments to these soft jobs.
week or so ago the mother of one of these
boys made affidavit that her son, employed in the
office of Representative Richard M. Kleberg of
Texas by law paid a salary of Sl29 month"; was
required to "kickback" $39 In addition it was
asserted that these employees, for the privilege
OF working for such distinguished employers, are
required to perform eXtraculricular services for
then employers on their own time without pay,
of course
Congressman Keberg, who is the multi
millionaire owner Of the millionaire King ranch
in Texas and rabd ant-unioniSt, blamed the
whole matter on a secretary who fortunately for
him had recently died,
1t is difficult to believe this is an isolated case,
and it might be worth while for members of Con-
eTess TO look into this matter. Perhaps members
of Congress, who enact federal laws, will want to
comply with them as they expect other employers
to do.
A dckback is kickbacb, whether it is for the
purpose Of defraying other office expenses or
whether it goes into the pockets Of the employing
Congressman.

TROUBLE FOR ANTI-LABOR LAWS

ORGANIZED labOrs fight against restrictive
= labor legislation in the states is bearing fruit
Last year many legislatures passed labor restric-
i've laws. This year all pending bills of the kind
nave been defeated in the regular sessions held
~ state legislatures.
Also, labor is making gains in its legal war on
state anti-uniOn laws. In South Dakota, AL
Unions have just won partial victory in an at
tack on law passed last year One clause was up
held but others drastically curbng long-estab-
iiShed union rights were declared unconstitutional
An analysis Of a decision by the Alabama SUI
prene Court, handed down in May, also shows
some gains for labor The court upheld the larger
part of the law it is true Specifically it upheld
their constitution and bylaws; ban on the col
lection Of money for work permits and prohibi-
ton against executives, managers and supervisory
employees from becoming members of unions.
The court, however, struck out portions of the
law as unconstitutional, including ban on work
ers refusing to handle or work materials or sup
plies not produced by union labor. The court held
such action lis simply a refusal to perform con-
tract for personal service, and that it lnfrlnges
closely upon the Thirteenth Amendment to the
federal constitution prohibiting involuntary serv-
tude of any character" The court also voded a
section prohibiting strikes except when author
ized by secret ballot of a majority of employees,
since "a prohibition to strike placed upon minor
ity group, unless sanctioned by secret ballot of
others who are without interest in their welfare
is an unreasonable and arbitrary restraint"
The court also ruled on a question of national
interest when it eliminated from the law a pro-
vision making illegal trade union political contri-
buttons. The decision held that it evident that
the legislature intended to put organizations of
employees and employers on the same basis and
that the exclusion of the organizations of en-
poyers from the provision of this section" isl
against the legislative intent and therefore void.
The foregoing shows that labor can make
progress against anti-unon laws in the legal field
as well as in the legislative field. The lesson isl
plain. The campaign must be pushed with vigor,
10 forestall further retrogressve labor legislation
and remove from the statute books such legisla-
ion already in effect.

A SOLDIERS VIEW OF LABOR'S TASK

EROM THE battlefields Of Italy good union
soldier with the Fifth Army writes to buddy
in Detroit, giving him his thoughts on now 10
safeguard labors future:
II was thinking Of you and all the labor fam
lies Labor knows sacrifice and understands
human needs readily. Can Labor now take on the
task of understanding and thinking for the whole
country and SO provide the craftsmanship Amer
lea and the whole world is hungry for!
"Amercas greatest need now is for men OF
moral stature who will make WHAT'S right and
not WHO'S right the basic principle for national
teamwork This is working principle that your
Moral Re-Armament work has given US, and by
applying it Labor will safeguard democratic pro
cedure in industry and so foil the attempts OF
those forces whose aim is to foment class hatred.
"The greatest gains of Labor over these years
have not alone been in the obvious results OF m
creased wages and better conditions, but in the
recognition that selfishness and It's materallsuc
approach to human problems IS the real enemy OF
both labor and management in the forward march
Of American industry. Therefore we cannot win
by making wages and conditions our only goal.
That is too small. We need something bigger to
shoot for, that will enlist every union member and
pack our union meetings
"Organized Labor is now at the stage where
we must show we are out for new social and
world order free from fear, hate and greed, and
fire the heart of every union member to live, work.
and fight for that new world daily. We can all do
it by creating in the Labor movement the pattefn
OF family HE, loyalty and real brotherhood IhaC
we know must come if there is no other way as
| see it.
"When material values and machines come be-
fore men and human values then totatarianism
wins. The American labor home morally rearmedl
and demonstrating teamwork and caring, can bel
the biggest bulwark against totalitarianism and
class conflict. LaboTs concern need no longer bel
for one group, but rather to- lead the workers nal
their greatest contribution to America, in forging
an ideoogy of teamwork in industry and the ma
ton. Then all people will thank God for Labor and
It's patriotic leadership"

WOMEN AND THE PEACE
OFrom the New York Times

(FrOm the New York Tines
TOR NEARLY % years American women have
voted. In that time they have shown intelli-
gence and wide range of capacity. 1t is notorious
that they have not had anything like their fair
representation in public office, state, national,
municipal, local.
Realizing their strength and their power of
organization, some 100000 Of them have now
formed a Women's Action Committee for Victory
and Lasting Peace. Two hundred delegates of rs
organizations, in conference at the White House,
resolved to do what they can to put qualified
women into responsible posts for "the conduct Of
national and international affairs" Especially they
urged that qualified women should be appointed
delegates and advisers to international confer
ences and as members of national policy-maEdng
bodies"
There have been few such appointments.
There should be more. II would be superlluous to-
dwell on the high feminine competence obvious to-
everybody. Women voters are now q majority inI
the United States, as they have long been in
Great Britain. IN this case they are asking for al
representation in official place at least not so dis
proportonate to their numbers as at present.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

The issue of feeding the children OF
German-occupied Europe will not
down. Even though France has been
| invaded and the fight to liberate
Europe seems to be progressing favor
| ably, diplomatic representatives of
| France, Belgian, Holland and Norway
| fear the children of their countries
German rule and have asked the
| United States to send vitamins and
essential foods to prevent starvation.
This is the course favored by the
American Federation of Labor, whose
executive council last January asked
sending of food to the children, with
proper precautions taken to prevent
its benefitting the Germans.
The Temporary Council on Food for
Europe's Children has urged sending
of food for many months and in April
the councils chairman, Howard r.
Kershner appealed to President RoOse-
velt to start the merchant ships be-
fore it is too late" But nothing was
uO1ic, OtNduot VI thC Stil
necked opposition of the British gov
ernment, which has blocked food re-
lief to any extent, except to Greece.
That the Allied Military Government
is doing a good job of delivering food
to Italian war victims in liberated
parts of Italy is indicated by a report
of the War Shipping Administration.
Food supplies, taken to the Anzio
beachhead by American IN er h a n
ships are reaching the hungry within
of Rome, the VISA says. More than
5000 tons of cargo are being delivered
daily at Anzio, Lieutenant G.g.) John
A. Singerhoff, USAIS, a VISA repre-
sentative i'm Italy advises.
Truckloads of sorely needed food,
first step to rehabilitation of liberated
areas, arrived at Cisterna and Vale
tri, on the outskirts of Rome less than
5 hours after Allied forces had shelled
the Nazis out of those towns, Lieuten-
ant Singerhoff, former Washington
newspaper man, reports. Food trucks
from the beachhead went forward i'm
mediately behind munitions, artillery
and troops of the frOnt-line units. In
almost every village, food and equip
ment for rebuilding arrived before
civilian refugees returned to their
homes from hillside shelters.
Within 10 hours after the Allied
forces entered Rome huge vans of
wheat, -four and canned goods awaited
systematic distribution to the needy.
Other Army Transport trucks, similar
ly laden, were assigned to follow
troops on their victorious march be
yond the Tiber.
This column endorses the following
short, pointed editorial entitled Fin
land" in the Wall Street Journal of
July 3:
.Risking a snarl from our red and
popular front contingent, we express
the belief that the vast majority of
Americans will regret the situation
which caused our government to break
relations with Finland.
son the eve of the American indie
pendence day, we believe that most
Americans will cherish the hope that
at some future time the United States
will be influential in helping the Films
regain their independence. That is all
that little nation is asking"
