! HE next morning stopped by to see Key
City's expert on delinquent girls. She said:
'I've had enough Ruthies in here to break
your heart They're girls in the most impress
sionable period of life. They need love and
tenderness and affection. And if they can't
get it at home, they 60 out and find it. They
make uniform their ideal and you have
khaki-wacky delinquents.
"And then there are the poor kids who can't
find satisfying way to use their abilities.
Their parents don't know how or haven't
tried to help. They don't belong to clubs,
don't know how to use the city's reueational
facilities. So they 60 to The Block.
That afternoon saw Eddie. He's u second
year high and he had part-time job after
school, He's bright l4-year-old and al
though he is - or was - officially juvenile
delinquent, he didn't look it. Just pleasant
kid with freckles, brown hair, widespread
blue eyes. At first he didn't want to talk.
Finally, l got him started and he told me
what had happened to him when his mother
went to work in the same war plant with his
father. They worked the same shift, and were
away from home from 80 pm. to 12:3O am.
1T used to be fun at first. was boss of

bunch of the kids came home from school
with me one day and there wasn't much to
eat. So we went down to the store and
bought a loaf Of bread and some cake.
While the grocer was waiting on me the
other Ruys sneaked some stuff from the
shelves.
"Soon we began grabbing stuff off of stands
too. was scared at first. The fellows were
older than me and they knew what to do.
Some of them had girl friends and they
brought them around too. was having

LATER, saw the woman official who saved
Eddie from reform school by putting him IN
home, away from his parents. She was mad.
"Eddie's one of those juvenile delinquency
statistics you've been hearing about. He's
typical of what we're up against all the time.
Not poor kids from the wrong side of the
tracks and broken homes, but kids OF parents
who don't want to spend any of the big
money they're making. parents who can't
spare the time to find community service to
take care of kids like Eddie, parents who
don't care or realize what they're doing"
Work permits issued by Key City to chill

Workers Forgotten Men
OF America AS Congress
Neglects Human Needs

Washington, D. C.-American work
ers are to be the forgotten men and
women in the reconversion period un-
less Congress changes it's mind after
election day.
The emasculated George bill which
was adopted by Congress before ad-
journment offers no protection or Sc
curity for workers who may lose their
jobs when war production is curtailed
and finally stopped.
The House refused to accept the
only two sections of the George bill
that held out any measure of security
one providing travel expenses for
stranded war workers and the other
extending job insurance benefits to
government workers in shipyards, ar
senals and other establishments.
Leaders of both parties talked about
more generous treatment of workers
when Congress reconvenes after cleo
ton, but friends of labor condemned
such delay.
"We are told," Senator George D..
Aiken said, "that there is not time
now to consider protection for jobless
workers. 1t seems rather peculiar
that men can work day and night over
property and dollars and cents, but
cannot give consideration to human
beings"
''That does seem peculiar" replied
Senator Alben W. Barkley, "but there
are many types of peculiar people, and
some of them find their way into legis-
lative halls"
Labor's chief demand-for a uni
form, national system of unemploy-
ment compensation with increased
benefits to serve as unemployment in
surance during the reconversion pc
riod-was defeated by both Houses of
Congress. AS result, the present,
varying state systems of unemploy-
ment compensation, which even such
conservative national leaders as War
Mobilization Director Byrnes and
, Bernard M. Baruch have denounced
as inadequate, will remain in force.

ENDORSED BY AT OF L

This has been called the most de-
cisive year of the war-the year in
which victory will be sealed. This year
our servicemen need the help of the
USO, War Prisoners Aid, United Sea-
mems Service, more than ever before.
You help support all these agencies
when you give to your community War
chest on behalf of the National War
Funds 1914 campaign. William Green,
of the American Federation of Labor,
has endorsed this drive He urges
every member of the Federation to do
his share by contributing to the fund
through the A. F. of LIS relief arm,
the Labor League for Humane Rights
Give to this campaign and strike a
telling blow for our fighting men as
well as for much needed community
service here at home.

LABOR CONCERNED

William Green, President of the
American Federation of Labor, re-
Gently said that in this war for free
dom his organization is proud to give
it's strength, its sons and it's savings.
SO are we all-all proud to give to
our fullest capacity. The seven mil
lion members of the A. F. of L.,
through their official relief arm, the
Labor League for Human Rights, are
wholeheartedly supporting the 1914
National War Fund campaign through
their community war chests which are
now under way. Labor has taken this
stand because labor is vitality con-
cerned with the welfare of our boys
in the armed forces, and with main
tanning community services here at
home; nor does labor forget the mil
lions of needy in the allied countries.
Labor will give-till it helps!

UNIONS WIN AGAIN
in WARD SUIT

Chicago (ILNS) The Appellate
Court of Illinois has affirmed the de-
cision of Cook County Superior Court
in favor of the printing trades unions
in the lawsuit brought against them
by Montgomery Ward & Co. Wards
suit, for $1O5,2OO, was based on dam
age which S. L. Avery's corporation
alleged it suffered when the printing
trades unions, in Chicago and else
where, stopped handling Wards cata-
logue in November and December of
1912.
The decision Of the Superior Court
and now the Appellate Court are
only two Of many such decisions up
holding the right of printing trades
unions to defend the collective inter-
ests of their members by refusing to
pull such unfair concerns as DON
nelley's out of their labor difficulties.

TRANSFERS CHEER FDR
IN FIRST POLITICAL
SPEECH OF CAMPAIGN

Washington, D. C.-Franklin D.
Roosevelt, back in his old form,
launched his fourth-term campaign
for the Presidency with rip-snorting
address delivered before a conference
dinner of the International Brother
hood of Teamsters at the Statler
Hotel here
Flanked on his right by AFL Presi-
dent William Green and on his left by
President Daniel j. Tobin of the
Teamsters, Mr.. Roosevelt drew re-
sounding cheers from his labor audi
ence as he praised the record of
American workers in the war and at
tackled "those candidates who burst
out in election-year affection for So
cial legislation and for labor in gen
eral."
The President did not pull his
punches nor did he restrain his ridi-
cule of his opponents. He charged
the Republicans with trying to switch
labels" and with attempting to per-
suade the American people that the
Democrats were responsible for the
1929 crash and depression" and that

Japs Feared u. S. Lab0r's
Opposition Senate Cartel
Investigation Shows

Washington, d. C. - President
Roosevelt, in letter to Secretary of
State Hull, called for action to ban
international cartels in the postwar
period as the Senate Kilgore Com
mittee continued to expose the sordid
story of how trade agreements be-
tween American and enemy firms gave
Japan inside secrets on vital U. S.
plane and oil production.
One bright feature of the Senate
investigation was the disclosure by
James S. Martin, Chief of the Eco
nomic Warfare Section of the Justice
Department, that both the Japanese
and American industrial leaders
feared labor's opposition to the ship
ment of war materials to Japan.
Martin submitted letter from the
New York office of the Mitsubshi
Trading Company to it's Tokyo office,
dated Feb. 10, 1889, which said, in
part:
Furthermore, they CA m er i c n
manufacturers) are fearful of labor
difficulties in the event that their
workmen learn that the materials on
which they are working are destined
for shipment to Japan. AS you un-
doubtedly know, most of the manu-
featuring plants in this country en-
ploy workmen who are members of
the American Federation of Labor or
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions. Both organizations have gone
on record as opposing the shipment of
materials of this kind to Japan and
other countries where military action
is in progress.
"ln view of these conditions, the
makers are extremely cautious in ac-
cepting orders and when they do ac-
cept stringent conditions are i'm
posed"

common or garden variety of fraud.
"Can the old Guard pass itself off
as the New Deal? / think not"
The President assailed labor-baiters
who prefer to pick on occasional
strikes and who ignore the vast pro-
duction achievement of labor in this
war, which he listed in detail. In OBJ
vious reference to John l.. Lewis, he
said wartime strikes have been con-
demned by every responsible national
labor leader but one-"and that one,
incidentally, is certainly not among
by supporters"
Discussing postwar plans on the
home front, the President declared
that the fruits of victory this time
will not be apples to be sold on street
corners" The keynote of "all we
propose to do can be summed up in
one word -"jobs," he said. On the
subject of wages, he declared:
"We shall follow wage policy
which will sustain the purchasing
power of labor-for that means more
production and more jobs.
"The present policies of wages and
prices were conIlived to serve the
needs of the great masses of our peo-
pie. They stopped initiation. They
kept prices on reasonably stable
level. Through the demonstration
period policies will be carried out
with the same objective in mind-to
serve the needs of the great masses
of people"
No philosophy which proclaims the
supremacy of any race, color or ma
tionality can square with American
principles of freedom and democracy.
