Guatemalan Official
COnsults lilo On
Social Security Plan

Montreal (ILNS).-Jose Rolz Ben
nett, Guatemala City lawyer who was
one of the drafters of the newly-pro-
mulgated Guatemalan constitution,
conferred here with Edward j. Phelan
acting director of the International
Labor Office, on problems connected
with the social security system that
the new government of Guatemala
proposes to introduce.
After the meeting Rolz Bennett ex-
planned that he had been designated
by the Guatemalan government to
study and draft a social security plan
to be put into effect under the terms
of the new constitution. He plans
while here to make a study of the
ILO's material on the social and labor
laws of other countries.
Guatemala's membership in the In
ternational Labor Organization lapsed
when it withdrew from the League of
Nations in 1888. Rolz Bennett said,
however, that he was hopeful that the
new government of President Jose
Arevalo would take steps to renew
Guatemala's membership in the or
ganization.

of the Bakery and Confectionery
Workers international Union of Am
erica, is celebrating it's Goth anniver-
sary.
The Journal made it's first appear
ance May IL, 1885, in the bakeshops
of New York City under the name of
"Deutsch-A h-Amerikanische Backer lei
tung German American Bakers
JournaD.
Telling of the first issue, the Jour
nal says:
"The Journal appeared on the
streets Saturday morning, May IL,
1885. When the first issue was in the
hands of those few who helped to
bring it to life, you have no idea how
joyful they felt. They took bundles of
the paper under their arms and ran
from bake shop to bake shop and 'hol-
lered' Justify, Five cents the copy!'
While the baker looked Indifferent and
some with disdain, and the employer
wonderingly, they were bought, and
on that evening the first issue was
sold and sent to all bakery socie-
ties in the country.
"Newspepers all over the country,
especially the labor papers, welcomed
and acclaimed the newcomer, and were
surprised that the bakery worker at
last had established something which
would sustain him in his fight against
deplorable conditions. All of sudden
everybody got interested in the bak-
cry workers, who beforehand had been
despised and looked upon as outcasts
working in an industry in which
unionism absolutely had no standing
whatever"

NOT DEAD, UNFORTUNATELY

Belying the belief of many that the

Unemployed Veterans
Cause OF Worry

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Rapid-
ly increasing unemployment among
veterans of this war is puzzling and
disturbing government officials and
members Of Congress.
Veterans Administration figures for
the week ended April % show that
28,992 veterans, those able to work
and who have applied for jobs, were
receiving unemployment payments
under the CT Bill of Rights. The
figure is an increase of 1900 over that
of the previous week.
A Veterans Administrator spokes-
man said that he could not explain
the situation. o. d. Hollenback, asso-
ciate chief of the Bureau of Veterans
Placement Of the U. S. Employment
Service, said that his findings were
that, while many veterans could be
placed in other areas, they are show
ing natural reluctance to leave
home, with this particularly true in
large cities.
The USES is placing about 100000
veterans in jobs each month, he added
He urged that communities cooperate
with the federal agencies in finding
jobs for the veterans near their homes
The House Veterans Committee is
worried because large-scale demobili-
zation is under way and at least
100000 veterans will be poured into
the labor market.

FUTURE SACRIFICED

Warning of one of the evil results
of wartime child labor was recently
sounded by Arthur J. White, a reg
ional director of the Wage and Hour
and Public Contracts Division, U. S.
Labor Department.
About 100000 boys and girls, or
almost one-third of those in the United
States between the ages of IA and II
are now employed, White told the in
dustrial management council of the
Rochester, N. Y, Chamber of Com
merce. About half the youths are work
ing full time and about 250,000 have
left school, he said.
"Few realize how many children
have sacrificed their education in or
der to earn few extra dollars" White
declared. "Their future will be entire
ly narrowed and confined through their
lack of education. Many child who
might have had brilliant future will
have sacrificed it."
Whites warning is timely, for the
boys and girls now employed and for
their parents, who in most cases do
not seem to see that trouble is in
store for their children because they
have cut short their education to go
to work. Not only will the children
suffer, but industry and the nation
will suffer the consequences of work
ers inadequately prepared for their
life work.

Germany's gradual collapse enabled
the War Department to halt Europe
bound troop and supply shipments on
a more orderly basis than would have
been possible had hostilities ended sud-
denly, the army says. Many actions
originally scheduled to begin on the
day of Germany's surrender had al
ready been carried out before the for
NAL proclamation of VE-Day, May 8.
AS victory began to appear immi-
nent, the flow Of combat requirements
and equipment to Europe was reduced
until, the War Department reveals,
only trickle remained to be shut off
on We Day. Except for material on
the high seas then, only supplies de-
signated VDE, such as food, clothing,
Post Exchange and other subsistence
items, are now being shipped to Eu-
rope.

the army stated. Many have already
become effective, or contractors and
workers have been notified what to
expect. 1t will take some weeks to
notify everyone completely, however.
In conclusion, the army emphasized
the tremendous transportation task
now facing the army. While redeploy-
ment of the troops now in Europe has
already begun on limited scale, mass
movement is just starting.
When the transport of troops and
supplies back from Europe, and for
ward to the Pacific, shifts to high
gear, the army anticipates that: (1)
hundreds of thousands of American
soldiers will be aboard ship at the
same time, bound for multitude OF
destinations; (2) hundreds of cargo
vessels will be moving troop equip

ILGWU Gives $4,000
To Free Union Fund

New York City (ILNS).-The In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union has contributed $4,000 to the
Free Trade Union Fund, the largest
single sum received to date.
The Free Trade Union Committee
headed by Matthew Woll, is raising
$1,000,00O or more to reorganize free
labor unions abroad. Announcement
of the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union gift came when the
need for reconstruction of free union
movements everywhere stands out
more clearly than ever before, the
committee said.
1t added that already new indus
trial projects are under way in the
liberated countries, and if they are
manned by low-paid workers, Ameri-
can labor will eventually be endan-
gered by the threat of cheaply-pro-
duced commodities.
The Free Trade Union Committee
renews it's appeal to central bodies
and local unions to forward contribu.
tions as rapidly as possible, declaring
that the fate of workers in other
countries is being decided now.

in the New York Times, the German
High Command is retaining the re-
spect and admiration of the German
people and attaining a position as the
only stable element in an otherwise
disorganized nation"
The fault, unfortunately, is not so
much with the German people as with
the apparent inability of the victorious
western powers to deal effectively
with elements whose tendencies should
be fully recognized by now. Who is
responsible for journalistic feats
which, unwittingly to be sure, turn the
defeated leaders of yesterday and to-
day into the heroes of tomorrow
What policy is that which not only
permits defiant declarations of the
German Government" and its field
commanders, but facilitates circula-
tion of their inflammatory remarks
and thus lends itself to an otherwise
incomprehensible propaganda?
1t is hard to root out overnight the
evil of so many years. Yet decisive
beginning should be made. This COL
umn suggests therefore:
(1) that Supreme Allied Headquar-
ters issue orders forbidding any state
ment by German authorities, military
or otherwise, unless cleared with the
Allies;
(2) that all German political and
military leaders be jailed and kept
from communicating with the Ger
man people;
(3) that the remnants of the pre-
1888 Reichstag and of state and local
parliaments be promptly convened for
the purpose of ratifying unconditional
surrender and eventually establishing
responsible and democratic authori-
ties;
"a that anti-Nazi leaders in exile
be permitted to return and reweave
the threads Of former democracy; and
(5) that leading Nazi criminals be
tried Immediately by military courts,
assisted by German democratic rep
resentatives.
AS far as these steps are concern
ed, there must be no cooling off"
period. Not to take these steps will
play into the hands of the evil which
we profess to have slain, but which
already draws new strength from our
squeamishness to administer the coup
de grace Not to take them will foster
a spirit of cynicism and distrust
among the Germans and make these
shell-shocked and dispirited people
again believe that the old gods have
not died.
A press dispatch from Columbus,
Ohio, states: "Veterans of World War
II will be permitted to peddle apples
and other goods in Ohio without pay
ing the regular peddler's license fee
under a bill passed by the House. The
vote was 10 to o."
Is that what we have been fighting
for?
/ also note in the press that Ford
Motor plant in Cologne, Germany, has
started production of motor trucks for
occupation forces under an American
organized industrial revival. The out
put is now 10 trucks day, and suf-
ficient stock is on hand for 100 trucks

diately. 80 percent of the necessary
