Foir JOB Practices
Under Attack

Htlerlsm is rearing its ugly head in the United States in the present
attempts to get" the Fair Employment Practice Committee.
The purpose of this Committee, established by President Roosevelt
IS TO promote w production and national unity by preventing jl
color, etc.
One of the chief reasons of manpower shortages, where they arise,
IS n refused of employers to give jobs to women workers. to Negro
Worke or to other Americans ready and eager to work.
Such determinations also lead to the racial friction and even riots
that have been damaging to w morale and al production.
Hitler and the Nazis have tried to undermine the unity of ever
country they are fighting by promoting Negro-baning, Jew-baiting and
other prejudices and discrimi;ations.
These serve the purpose of our enemies by hampering war
production, creating division and dismity among Americans and spread
ing Nazi ideas.
Because the FEPC has tried to do the essential war lob ASSIGNED
to 1T, it has incurred the enmity of all fascistminded elements in the
United States, including both conscious and unconscious stooges OF
the Nazis.
1t is being attacked by the labor batting and dministration-b batting
Howard Smith committee in the House, which is also attacking the War
Shipping Administration for allowing Negro seamen equal Job MINOR
tunities with white seamen.
In the Senate, an attempt is admittedly being made by the poll
takers % kill the FEPC outright by preparing to cut off its appropria-
tion-The CLIO News.

Unions as G WEAPON

A third rate newspaper which unfortunately has a large circulation
throughout the country, recently declared that unions are a weapon
against the capitalitic, employing classes"
Union labor is not a weapon against anything except injustice to the
working man.. Union labor has no fight against capital a such, but
rather against the abuse of capital which keeps working men under
slave conditions
Union labor is exactly what its name implies, a union of working
men, banded together for their mutual benefit, and the union man is the
first to acknowledge that banding together in this way has been and
will continue to be beneficial
Unions oppose oppression, injustice, bad working conditions and
all the "ismS" which are foreign to true Americanism. Capital is IN in
sttudon in America, and every union man with q home of his own is a
capitalist, in a way, and it is the kind of capitalism of which we want a
lot more. @r#
Savings, bonds, insurance, homes-all these put together comprise
capital, SO that the good workman who is a union man lis a small cap
iahst, and in favor of moderate capitalism.
But to permit one capitalist who has much more than another to
browbeat and depress others is foreign to our mionism, and it is this
which unions oppose and will always oppose-The Progressive Miner

Roosevelt Promises
Unemployment

We imagine most Americans nodded in APPROVAL when President
Roosevelt asked that preferential arrangements be made now to give
war ends
That, people will agree, is something worth while. There is no
reason why the men and boys who risked their lives to win the nations
a noud become economic and social outcasts in their native land
when they are no longer needed on the battle field.
But there is another side of this picture that American workers
should study carefully. 1t raises and, by compelling inference, answers
the question of what is going to happen to the working class as a whole
when the demand for war supplies is ended.
Roosevelts advance concern for the veteran shows that jobs are
going to be extremely hard. to get There can be no doubt that what he
sees is another period of unemployment just as severe and equally as
destructive of social peace Is that which existed back in 1888, when
Franklin D Roosevelt first became president.
The presidents concern for the veterans is a confession that he
ing admission of his failure, through three terms in the White House, to
do anything fundamental for the ire of the social ills that are inherent
within the capitalist private profit economy.
In finding it necessary to make special provisions for veterans the
president confirms the charge and the warning, ST often voiced by So
cialists, that the system of free enterprise has performed its historic
mission and run its course. For, very significantly, even now, what he
sees a a possibility is not the Strengthening of the private economic
system, but the induction of veterans into GOVERNMENT service.
The veterans will get some jobs. But what about you? Well, you
will have your war bonds to finance you for a while. And then the
government will again do what it did before act a. the reservoir
into which the privateprofit moguls can dump their castoff humans
to stagnate until, perchance, another war or the dictates of an American
super-state again find some way of utilizing the labor of the millions
that a free competitive economy no longer car prohtably employ.
Roosevelt is not a humanitarian when he moves to provide a
cushion upon which the returning soldier can fall. Now, a in the past
he is trying to save the class society of which he is a beneficiary from
a shock that will shake it from its foundations.
Providing jobs for al veterans may be effective in keeping owners
and workers in their places-where the one can exploit the other for yet
a little while. But in the end-if the American people want real freedom
program.
All able adults must be permitted to share in the work that must
be done to supply socetys needs. The means of production must be
made the property of all the people. And wealth must be produced, not
make democracy logical. Merely giving preference to soldiers smacks
more of the privileges that shirted groups enjoyed under the dictators
whom top-flight American expoters once praised and against whose
soldiers the sons of workers are now fighting Reading Labor Ad-
vocate.

KNOW YOUR COAL

Coal miners, hidden daily down
in the depths of their digging, are
apt to forget what coal is and what
it does, and we know the public
doesn't have much idea, except that
it provides warmth and a large
number of medicines in use every
day.
So it does no harm to bring out
the fact that coal supplies SIS per
cent of all U. S. mechanical energy;
provides power for 95 per cent of
all U. S. railroad locomotives; gen.
crates SIS per cent of all u. S. cleo
tricity; heats four out of every
seven homes; and coal is the base
for 85 per cent of all war plastics.
Four of the half dozen of the
nations most important and basic
war chemicals also come from coal:
Phenol, toluene, ammonia, and
naphthlene. Add to this you also
have coal furnishing part or all of
the important elements which pro-
vide T. N. T., picric acid and tetryl,
all high explosives needed in war
fare.
All in all, some 800 products are
made from coal, SO we can see that
coal is a pretty essential industry
even though the men who produce
these vital elements of our every
day existence don't get decent fin
ancial recognition for the contribu-
tinos they make to the wealth and
comfort of the greatest nation on
earth.-The Progressive Miner.

We Don't Like Baruch's Report
It Is Bosed on q FoIIocious Theory; Giving the Rich
More Billions Won't Assure America Prosperity

The Baruch report on how to avoid postwar depression is based on
an ancient theory: IF you give the rich enough money, they will SCI
that the poor do not starve" Unfortunately. that theory is moi sus-
tanned by the experience of mankind.
The rich have been running things for a good many years, but we
have gone from one depression to another, and the workers and the
small farmers were always the ones VINO did the starving. We had a very
good illustration of this during the CooHdge-Hoover regime. Certainly
Big Business was in the saddle. The result was the crash of 1929 and the
worlds history.
Prosperity, to be all-inclusive, must begin at the bottom. The farmer
must get a proper price for his crops. The worker must be assured a job
at good wages. When those two classes are prosperous, we need not
worry Dou N rest OF the community, because all will be prosperous
Of course, the big newspapers and every reactionary in Congress
is applaudIng the Baruch report. That is only natural. AS long as we
have known anything about MI. Baruch, he has been the mouthpiece of
Big Business. The shocking thing is that the White House should have
selected Mr.. Baruch to draft postwar plans for n administration which
was put in office by Progressives.
Somewhere in the Baruch report is found the statement that the
returning soldier must be our first consideration In another place we
find the assurance that offices will be set up all over the country 81 the
returning soldier may readily ascertain his rights"
Congress has already taken steps to take care of the returning
soldier. This newspaper is 100 per cent in favor Of generous treatment
for u fighting boys.
But why try to drive a wedge between the returning soldier" and
the worker and the farmer? Economically they are all in the same boat.
Instead of setting up offices where the returning soldier may
the returning soldier may find a job, and those offices should be open to
other Americans N exactly the same terms as to the soldiers.
This question of jobs, not alone for returning soldiers, but for every
American, able and willing to work, is fundamental Jobs for all should
be the foundation of all postwar plans At the same time, the farmer
last war.
Unless this is done, the soldier will soon spend his discharge pay
and will be selling apples on the street corner; the worker who made
the weapons which enabled the soldier to win this war will be in a
official who seeks to foreclose his mortgage. In other words, history
will repeat itself - Labor.

The word liberal" is a very diff

unpacked it and discovered that the

He tapped it, and it did not

What will Socialism do about in
ventors?
That was one of the questions
that was supposed to knock us So
cialists cold at the beginning of the
century -. Remember. The
idea was that, if workers were to
receive the full value of the pro-
duct of their labor, there would be
What about inventors?" /.
what about brains?"
We never were able to convince
those who were determined not to
be convinced. We conceded that
some provision would have to be
made for reward of initiative. We
declared that brain work. was
still work. But regardless of what
we Socialists said to the contrary,
people who didn't know anything
at all about Socialism insisted that
the party's program was solely of,
by and for people who wore over
alls and came home at night with
dirty faces - and that's all there
was to it.
Well, we suppose, a good many
of those folks are still worrying
about what will happen to inven-
tors and brains if Socialism ever
becomes the way of life.
However, if that question isn't
answered to their satisfaction, they
at least should know what the
private-profit system does about
inventions.
Capitalism forms cartels to
stymie science and throttle inven-
ton to the end that the good things
that brains make possible shall not
become such a drug in the market
that the profits of corporations will
be cut.
That's what capitalism does with
inventors and inventions. 1t pre-
vents them from serving their
fellow man. 1t enables the few
who own and control the economy
of the various nations to form a
conspiracy against the general well
fare and against their own nations
a conspiracy to maintain scar
city when abundance is possible :.
a conspiracy to prevent millions of
people from enjoying the full fruits
of invention under any conditions
except those that will bring the ut
most of wealth and power to the
economic royalists at the top of the
social heap.

tors? 1t monopolizes their patents
