Broker Act

AT Bar Meeting
Cormody to Name
Committee to Study
Remedy for Flaws

Sharp attacks on the Districts
adoption (baby broker law last
night marked the meeting Of the
District Bar Association in the May
flower Hotel. Attorney Jean M.
Boardman termed the act the most
asinine piece of legislation on any
statute book"
In explaining his remark, he said,
as an example, that when a child
is born In the District and then
placed for adoption it Is mandator-
that a copy Of the adoption decree
be sent to the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics. Then, he said, the direcsor
Of the Bureau of Vital Statistics is
ordered to take out the original
birth certificate and substitute
new certificate stating that the
child was actually born to its newly
acquired parents. r..
Another attorney termed the law
"a damnable piece Of legislation"
which should be changed SO that
alleged abuses fostered by it, which
often reflect LEGITIMACY on the
child, be eliminated. -
John J. Carmody, president of the
association, said he would appoint
a committee to study the act with a
view to correcting the weaknesses
pointed out by the attorneys.

Board Of Education
Lifts Ban on Students
Selling DAv Flowers

Public school students will be al
lowed to sell forget-me-nots for the
benefit Of the Disabled American
Veterans Saturday, the Board OF
Education has decided in a special
lpon requested by c. Melvin Sharpe,
member who originally opposed the
sale as unnecessary in view Of Gov
eminent provisions for veterans.
"Mr. Sharpe, on investigation, de-
cided this was a worthy cause for a
noble organization" Mrs. Elise z
Watkins. board secretary, said In
announcing completion of the spe-
cial poll today. Mr.. Sharpe is out
Of town. 7
Robert L. Haycock, superintendent
of schools. proposed that the stu
dents be allowed to assist in public
sale Of the flowers at board meet
| ing last week. On the objection OF
MIR. Sharpe that veterans have many
provisions already and that such q
sale should be part of the Washing
ton Community Chest, the Student
Activities Committee OF the board
failed to bring the matter to a vote
of the full membership.
After an interview with Brig. Gen.
Frank T. Hines, veterans admins
traitor, Mr.. Sharpe asked that Mr..
Haycock recommend the sale again
to the Student Activities Committee,
which consented to submit the mat
ter by poll to the full board.
DR.. James A. Cannon, committee
member, signed the poll, but in
cluded an objection that he con-
siders it poor psychology for boys
about to 60 into the service to be
allowed to stand on street corners
selling flowers for veterans. The
boys, he said, will wonder II they
themselves must depend On charity
when mustered out OF the service.
Those students selling the flowers
will meet at their respective schools
at II m SATURDAY.

SocioI Security
How IL Works For
The Working Mon

Here are two examples of what n
social security account can mean to
a working woman, one who is young,
and one who is past middle age.
These aren't real names of course.
First, Jane White, 26 years old, who
used to work as a tool grinder at the
Big johnson plant just outside of
town. The pay was only Sc cents an
hour, but it went on her social Sc
curity account, and when she moved
on to better job, and was finally
making really good pay as an engine
lathe operator her social security
credits were going up fast. But Jane
was young, and soon she married.
Home and family were going to be
her business from then on.
So it was for while. Then the war
came and her husbands business fell
off. In order to help tide them over
Jane went to work again, this time
on war job, where she is now, with
her wages again counting up on her
social security account.
1t is James firm intention to quit
work as soon as the war is over and
her husbands business picks up
again. She vows she will not go on
working all her life. Suppose, how
ever, she does work for another four
years. She had already worked four
years, before she was married, and
two years since the war began SO

ments after she is 65 years old.
whether she ever works again or not.
How much she can get will depend
upon the amount of her wage credits,
but as the law now stands she would
get no less than $40 month at age
65.

By unanimous action, the board at

Lubor's Stake In
A Free Economy
BY WENDELL BERGE


Like every other group in our So
ciety, American labor is aware that
the end of this war will mark great
divide in modern history. Democracy
everywhere will be confronted by an
economic challenge as crucial as any
which has been surmounted in the
course of the conflict.
The coming peace is a half way
house on the path of the future. We
know that peace must have secure
economic basis in order to endure. We
also know that the operation OF
American economy will influence in
large measure the character of the
world economy and the prospects for
the peaceful progress of all nations.
Depression or prosperity here will af-
feet other countries. Economic fric
tion and insecurity abroad will affect
us at home.
Now more than ever is the time for
labor to remember its stake in free
enterprise. Only by increasing mass
purchasing power through lower
prices and higher wages can we keep
mass production going. If mono
polistic pressure groups are curbed,
labor will be able to utilize it's bar
gaining strength more effectively and
speak more effectively in the govern
ments of our cities, states and nation.
Above all the road to free enterprise
can be kept open, patent obstructions
hn
helped to realize his dreams.
Within recent years we have come
to a profound realization of the Sig
nificance of the Sherman Act as the
charter of economic democracy in this
country. Labor need not fear that the
Sherman Act will be used to inter
fere with legitimate union activities.
We have no desire so to use it, and
under court decisions Interpreting the
Sherman Act in the light of the Clay
ton and Norris LaGuardia Acts full
protection is given to labor's rights.
However, labor union activities are
not entirely exempted from the appii-
cation Of the Sherman Act, particular
lv when unions act in collusion with
non-union groups to accomplish re-
strictive purposes. Enlightened labor
groups will not undertake these re-
strictive practices, not only because
they violate the law and subject the
parties to prosecution, but especially
because they are detrimental to the
best interests of organized labor it
self.
On the economic front in this war
against fascism, we are fighting for
the abolition of the monopolistic cor
porate state and the reestablishment
of free independent labor unions.
Those active in trying to suppress
monopolies and those interested in
maintaining free Independent collec-
tive bargaining work toward the same
detectives. 0a
To discover and to follow the path
of abundant production and full en-
ployment, at the same time strength
ening and broadening the areas Of OPP
portunity and freedom, is the primary
concern Of this generation in the
postwar era. The realization of this
aim will not come by chance. Collec-
lively and Individually, it is the re-
sponsibility of members of this demo-
cracy to strive for freedom and plenty
with all the energy and resourcefui-
ness at our command. Our adventure
in democracy will then move forward
| with increasing success.
