Carping critics and habitual Will
fiers of organized labor received a
we'll deserved answer when 5000
members of New York Local 3 of the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trica Workers, an AFL affiliate,
voted to shift to war jobs in ship
yards at 76 cents an hour less than
they are getting now in civilian work.
Enthusiastically responding to gov
ernment appeals for increased war
production, the New York electricians
have agreed to work henceforth ex-
clusively on ship construction at the
government rate of $1.24 an hour,
intead of the $2 hourly rate now be-
ing paid on civilian electrical repair
work.
Although there is plenty Of civilian
work available at the higher rate,
said Harry Van Arsdale, business
manager of Local 3, the men are de-
termined to see that no amount of
proposed civilian construction jobs
stand in the way of an accelerated
war production program. 1t was an
nounced at the same meeting that the
contractors have agreed to cooperate
by cancelling all previous civilian
construction commitments.
Close teamwork of business, labor
and agriculture in war and peace and
the guaranteed right of every Ameri-
can to a remuneratiye job and ade-
quate wages were demanded by Sen
ator Francis j. Myers of Pennsyl-
vania at a conference Of 200 labor
delegates in New York. The meeting,
at which both AFL and CIO unions
were represented, had been called to
discuss labor's future and the needs
for an increased war effort.
Army spokesmen paid high tribute
to labor's war production records but
stressed the need of rs to 100 per
critical war items during the first half
of 1915.
1t. Colonel Charles Ballon, New
York regional labor representative Of
the army, said: "We have been told
authoratively that no lives have been
lost because of shortage of mate
rials." In enumerating the list of
materials in demand, he urged speedy
replenishment Of ammunition stock
piles which are being exhausted at
the rate of 100000 rounds of heavy
motar shells every month Other criti-
cal production items are wire, tires,
electronics equipment, medical and
surgical Instruments.

Thonds SdYs

New York City (ILNS)-"To adopt
total conscription of manpower now
and postwar military conscription
now will mean the defeat of all the
hopes which have sustained us and
our sons amid the horror of war;"
Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, de-
clared in radio speech over Station
WOR.
"Bad planning cannot be over
come," said Thomas. "by giving the
planners the power to cover over their
mistakes by conscripting men In
the process they will certainly create
a disgruntled morale which will seri-
ously impede production"
Thomas declared that the adoption
of conscription now would not only be
a sign that the peace has been lost
but with it the struggle for full en-
ployment on other terms than the
military boondoggling which has been
the rule in Europe for the last GEN.

and that is the reason we are trying

In one of my recent articles when |

fore the horse, as | had not at that
time mentioned the scrubbing ma
chine. Concrete floors become very
dusty if they are not scrubbed. But
when scrubbed the only place there
can be any dust is under the benches.
What our committee had in mind was,
if this moist clay was cleaned out
from under the benches there would
be no chance for any dust to fly into
the air.
Naturally every shop has it's own
conditions and these are only sug-
gestions. We are in accord that no
sweeping should be done while people
are working.
Only by intelligent discussions and
articles on health can we ever expect

good deal of lively argument but not
great. deal of unanimity.
1t appears certain that the Kilgore
bill, endorsed by the AFL, will again
encounter stiff opposition when it is
reintroduced in Congress. This bill
provides for nationwide uniformity
of unemployment compensation sys-
tenn benefits, with wider coverage and
higher benefits. Industry probably
will oppose Federal action and agri-
cultural groups for the most part also
will line up against the bill because
farmers are not covered by its pro-
visions.

of remedy.
Program Always Needed
Necessity for a social security pro-
gram exists during the present war
period and will continue to exist IN
good times as we'll as in bad, said the
report, transmitted by Chairman Ar
thur ]. Altmeyer of the Social Secur-
ity board and submitted to Congress
by Federal Security Administrator
Paul V. McNutt.
"Old age, sickness and invalidism,
and death of the breadwinner, have
continued to cause insecurity IN mil
lions of households which-temporar-
lily or permanently have had no
member who could take advantage of
the wartime opportunities to earn, !"
the report says, and adds:
"When jobs are less plentiful and
employers hiring requirements are
more stringent, social insurance and
public assistance are, of course, all
the more necessary to offset part of
the loss or lack of earnings and as
sure the means Of subsistence"
Broader COverage Sought
Extension of coverage of the unem-
ployment insurance system to some
Is to 20 million excluded workers, and
of the old age and survivors insur-
ance program to some 20 TO 20 NIL
lion additional employees and self
employed persons are the outstanding
changes recommended The exact
numbers to be covered depend on the
volume of employment. The board
has strongly advocated these extern
sions in the past and has taken the
position that inadequate coverage
constitutes the major defect of the
two social insurance programs.
The board reiterated its urgent
recommendation for action to protect
members Of the military services from
continued loss of rights under old age
and survivors insurance, pointing out
that such action on unemployment
compensation rights already has been
taken on liberal basis.
Disability Insurance Stressed
Particular stress was laid also on
the boards recommendation that a
system of disability and sickness in
surance be set up. The board points
out that an average of 100000 per-
sons in the United States are sick or
disabled on an average day, that the
annual wage loss from these causes
is from 3 to billion dollars, and the
annual loss in working power runs
between 1IA and 3la million man
years.
"Our country stands almost alone
among the great nations of the
world" the board says, "in failing to
protect the great majority of wage
earners against incapacity of non
occupational origin.
"rhirty-one countries have COM
pulsory social insurance for wage
earners against permanent disability;
and 80 countries have insurance
against wage loss in temporary dis
ability"

Congressional leaders prom

clocks back an hour by Septem-

They will do this by having Con-
gress abolish what Is known as
daylight saving or war time, under
which the clocks were moved ahead
an hour in 1912. The idea then
was to provide more day time for
war work.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee and
Chairman Boren of a House Inter
state Commerce Subcommittee said
the repeater would pass quickly
Mr.. Cannon is a leader in the move
to make the switch in time. Mr..
Boren's group is preparing the
necessary legislation based on more
than so pending bills.
Il can promise you We'll have the
Wartime Act off the books within
two weeks" Mr.. Boren told re-
porter.
Il am advised by those in a posi-
ton to know that the repeal will be
passed =" and transmitted to the
President in time to become effec-
tive September 30" Mr.. Cannon
said.
Both remarked they didn't expect
"a single vote" against the action
in either the Senate or House
They said flood OF mail was de-
manding the change.

gressional Record approximately 200
of the letters he received. Declar-
ing them typical" Of congressional
mail on the subject. he said they
were from all sections, both rural
and urban, and from all classes and
professions.

NOTED war time said it helped con-
serve power and provided more day

tors disputed this. even during the
conflict. They list many reasons for
