NEW JOB OPENINGS ARE
PREDICTED FOR WOMEN

Washington, ID. c. ULNS).-Under
the system of priority referral of male
labor to become effective July 1, the
demand for women workers will in
crease not only in war production but
in civilian service occupations, the
War Manpower Commission predicted
here
Employment ceilings which would
automatically check the number of
men which a company could hire will
be fixed in 1S4 labor shortage areas.
But, it was explained this would not
prevent employers in many cases from
hiring women.
1t was predicted that women will be
going into such jobs as floor manage
and window dressers i'm department
stores, as clerks in drug stores and,
for another example, as workers in
candy manufacturing plants as men
are drawn off into occupations with
higher ratings.

VIOLATION OF JOBLESS BENEFIT
LAW BRINGS HEAVY FINE
TO NEW YORK EMPLOYER

Albany, N. Y. ULNS). - The first
prosecution of an employer for violat
ing the State Unemployment Insurance
Law resulted recently in l,200 fine
for the defendant LaPerla Embroidery
and Stitching Co., Inc, of New York
City
Magistrate Robert f. Mahoney found
the defendants guilty on 6 counts
charging false statements and repre-
sentations in quarterly payroll reports
submitted to the Division of Placement
and Unemployment Insurance, State
Labor Department.
In passing sentence, Magistrate Ma
honey said that false statements and
representations such as We're made by
the defendant attack the very founda-
tions of our social system and the eff
fectiveness of the unemployment in
surance law" He imposed the substan-
tial fine as warning to other em-
plOyers.

WAGE KICKBACK IN OUR CAPITOL

THE RULERS of the greatest democracy IN the
world employ in their Capitol children as page
boys, in order to eVade the child labor laws OF
the District Of Columbia they provide a so-called
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 certain
forms OF influence to accomplish appointments 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 salary of S129 month"; was re-
quired to "kickback" $50 In addition it was
asserted that these employees, for the privilege
of working for such distinguished employers, are
required to perform eXtraculricular services for
their employers on their own time without pay,
of course.
Congressman Kleberg, who is the multimillion-
aire owner of the million King ranch in Texas
and rabd anti-unionist blamed the whole matter
ON secretary, who fortunately for him had re-
Gently died.
1t is difficult to believe this is an isolated case
and it might be worth while for members of Con-
gress 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 so.
A kickbacll is kickback, whether it is for
the purpose Of defraying other office expenses or
whether it goes into the pockets of the employ
ing Congressman.

THE FOUNDING FATHERS would be proud OF
America on independence Day of 1914. They
would be proud of our vast country which mas
grown from thirteen colonies on the eastern sea
board to a rich and beautiful nation, reaching
from ocean to ocean, They would be proud OF Oui
glorious cities and our prosperous countrysldes
They would be proud OF our labor movement. Bu'
most of all they would be proud that those prn
ciples which they set down in their immortal
Declaration 168 years ago are still cherished oy
Americans
"We hold these truths to be self-eyident that
all men are created equal - These were the
words in which the Founders expressed then
creed. Today their spiritual descendants are tight
ing to defend that creed.
Our forefathers would be proud, too, to know
that we who have been free for many generations
are fighting side by side with men OF other lands
to extend the rights of man to all humanity. The
Army Of Liberation is composed OF many nation
alities many coors, and many different creeds.
There are Americans South Africans, and
Dutch East-Indians; black, Write and yellow;
Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Budhists. They
speak different languages, go to different church
es, wear different styles of dress. But they are
fighting for a common goal, world in which
people of every nation, race and creed can live IN
harmony with one another; where no power-mad
dictator can rise to destroy that unity.
There was q time when we almost forgot that
freedom can have no national boundaries. We
imagined that the struggle Of the Chinese in Man
chura the famished children in Greece and the
Jews in Poland were concern of ours. But that
time has passed.
Organized labor has recognized the tactics by
which the Axis hoped to enslave us Dictators
throughout history have tried to win power by
giving the people scapegoats as outlets for their
grievances. Nero made scapegoats of the Chris
tians; Hitler made scapegOats OF the Jews. IN
fact anti-Jewish agitaton-Htler's first weapon
of attack on democracy and labor-is even now
being promoted by self-seeking, unscrupulous
demogogues in the United States But the com
mon people of the world have caught on to this
age-old trick. We have remained united IN Spte
of all the vicious propaganda Of racial and re-
ligious prejudice put forth by the Axis. Today
Americans are fighting side by side with freedom
loving peoples the world over, and tomorrow wei
will march together in victory.
independence Day will be celebrated in AMI
unusual way this year There will be no outngsI
in the country, firecrackers, no lazy lounglngl
in the summer sun. Like every other day in thel
past three years. and like every day to come until
victory, American workers are turning out thel
guns, tanks and planes with which to pave theI
roads to Toxic and Berlin.
Yes, the Founding Fathers would be proud of
the Nation which they brought into being.

A LETTER MAY DO 1T
Fron the Tribune-lIerald Chisholm, Nil

Orom the Tribune Herald, Chisholm Mimi
OUR ATTENTION has been called to a pay con-
~ dtion among postal employees which calls for
consideration on the part Of citizens who believe
in fair play.
Since 1885 whenever an emergency requires a
postal employee to work extra time, extra pay is
given, but-for every hour of overtime top
grade postal clerk works, he receives 32 cents less
per hour than for regular time.
This comes from the fact that overtime rate
is based on 306 days to the year, whereas 253
days actually constitute the work year. 1t is in
consistent and unfair to the present employees
and future ones, many of whom will be veterans
who may now be the ones you are sending mes
sages to in far-distant places.
On March %, 1914, bill QI. r. 4501) was
introduced to correct this condition 1t would
seem only fair Of US who enjoy the fine service
given us day after day by postal employees to
write our Congressman and Senators asking them
to support this bill,
Most workers get time and half for overtime
or at least they get much as they get on regular
time. But here is a group Of workers who ac-
tually get paid less for overtime work

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Recently our daily papers informed
us that an ammunition explosion il
Pearl Harbor killed 1877 service mel
and injured $50 Others including I!
civilians May 21. The same dispatch
announced an explosion on Oahu will
dead and Z missing.
The same week the House military
committee announced result of an in
vestigation which disclosed that army
officials had contracted for installation
of a. communications system with 8
German-bOrn contractor, and that al
the time of the Pearl Harbor JaI
picnic it was still unfinished.
OF course, it was still unfinished. II
it had been completed it probably
would have worked in reverse.
Hirohito must have LATED up his
big sleeves when he heard about that
one. Probably thinks if he waits long
selves off.
When army officers and news COM
mentators condemn workmen in muni-
ton factories for striking for a day or
two they should keep in mind the fact
that organized labor was not re-
sponsible for the thousands who have
lost their lives in Hawaii.
While fighting in Normandy goes on

Everyone is being urged to think
about postwar planning and to do as
much Of it as possible.
And good deal of postwar plan
ming talk is bunk.
Only a very few can do any large
scale postwar planning, because only
q few know enough about the factors
involved and nobody knows all of
them.
Domestic postwar planning depends
upon lot of things
Among these are Do we have infla-
tion or not? Do we have depression or
prosperity? What new materials shall
we have and what will be the patent
restrictions?
What new methods shall we have
and how will they be controlled?
VIII world cartels be out the window
or in the parlor?
Will new devices be in mass prOduc-
tion in six months, or in two years?
You can add to that string of ques-
tions. There are many to be added.
AS for example, how many people
will WANT new materials and new
devices when they are offered? How
many can buy them? What will go into
export and what will be available for
home folks?
That leads to internationa questions.
VIII Russia dominate the continent
of Europe, economically, after the
war? Will Britain gain or lose in eco
nOmic might and prestige? Will France
be a vassalage or a real nation again?
Will there be Poland? Or CzechO
Slovakia? And with or without power
to buy?
What will Latin America, with her
new, large and growing trade balance,
want from us? All of these questions
affect postwar planning.
What sort of a Germany will exist
after the war?
How much of our own economy will
continue to be a war economy?
In other words, how much of our
productive ability will go on producing
army and navy commodities?
What encOuragements restraints, or
false moves, will there be from our
,wn government, in the transition
stage?
What will labor think and do, or
'ail to do?
Brother, when you talk postwar
planning, you are talking about the
biggest riddle of our time.
And yet, if there is no effort to plan,
he muddle may well lead to the wild
,st chaos and heart-break.
1t could be hand grenades through
he window, instead of apples for sale
IN the street corner.
Another question is: What will be
he tax load and what will be the load
# money required for veterans, in one
way or another?
What percentage of spendable money
will the average citizen have for him
elf out of every hundred dollars of
intake?
Postwar planning is VITAL and yet
staggeringly complex thing.
1t puts the bee on those who fatu-
usly say ''the boys are coming home
o find nothing changed"
The economy of the world will be
hanged less.
Maybe you'll wear the same kind of
lOthes, but you'll pay with different
of new and perhaps
over worth.
International airports will be almost
S numerous as local way stations.
A new world will be in the quick
laking. But YOU can do some plan
ing for yourself. You can try to sta
ilize your own affairs, to save money
4 war bonds, so that you can parry
lows and buy what new things you
Tant after you have chance to look
