Union NeuUsnlen
Plan Unique
Convention

NEW YORK OPA) - The
American Newspaper Guild
CIO. will hold its convention
this year at st. Paul, Mimi, on
June 1929, but to comply
with government regulations
each local will send only one
delegate instead of its per capita
representation. The latter, now
ever, will be tabulated in voting.
In order to lessen even FUR
ther the number attending the
convention, the ANG Executive
Board authorized that two or
more locals could send the same
delegate. In order to do this, the
Guild plans to abrogate for this
year its rule that delegates must
be members of the locals they
represent.
This decision was made after
a nationwide poll of locals in
dicated that members preferred
to hold their convention even
though delegates would be Inn
tied.
Locals are planning to elect
delegates and alternates as they
would under normal conditions.
Thus, should the government re-
strictions on conventions be lift
ed before June, the proper num-
Der of representatives would be
to attend.

WLB Comes Up
With Successful
CruckdoWn

WASHINGTON, April % =
(LPA)-A new type of govern.
ment breakdown to force com
pliance by defiant employers
with National War Labor Board
directives has worked success
fully, Chairman George W.
Taylor of the WLB revealed re-
Gently.
Seizure of plant has been the
usual means of enforcement, but
in the case involving the E. A.
Laboratories of Brooklyn, Fred
M. Vinson, former director of
economic stabilization, ordered
cancellation of war contracts
given the firm and directed the
War Production Board to deny
priority assistance to the COM
pany in obtaining materials.
This penalty, short of seizure,
was put into effect because the
firm refused to reinstate strik-
ing unionists after they had
agreed to go back on demand of
the WLB. 1t succeeded. Taylor
announced that the company has
since complied, and he advised
William H. Davis, now director
of economic stabilization, that
the penalties can now be re-
voked.

And All The
Trumpefs
Sounded"
BY Ruth Taylor

The Peoples President is gone
and another name has been add
ed to the long list of casualties
who have laid the last full meas
ure of devotion upon the altar
of human brotherhood.
Whether or not we approved
all of his policies or actions,
whether we were among his
critics or his friends, we each
of US admitted and admit his
greatness and his overwhelming
desire to serve America and the
cause of peace.
A great American has left US.
And the nation grieves for this
man who rose so bravely above
physical handicaps. He set his
course to the stars and held the
helm true in spite of the winds
of hate and calumny.
The price of democratic gov
ernment is high. Three presi-
dents have died in our wars
three presidents - Lincoln, VIII
son, Roosevelt. How can we
atone? No marble memorial, 40
spire of stone is enough. What
we must do is to write indelibly
on the pages of history the Four
Freedoms. The real material
should be to make a lasting
peace in the name of the man
who fought for the rights of all
men.
And as we sorrow for the ma
ton, for the family of. the man
Roosevelt-let us pray for the
new President-for the man who
will have to carry on in the most
critical hours of the worlds his
tory.
The tired hand has laid down
the torch. The only tribute that
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
would want would be the re-
newed and renewing unity of
the American people in striving
to achieve the ideals for which
he lived and hoped and fought
and died-his u~dying purpose
the brotherhood of I'll men.
The price of freedom has been
paid. The sacrifice has been laid
upon the altar. Let us say of him
as John Bunyan said of that
other warrior:
$50 he passed over, and all
the trumpets sounded for him
on the other side"

Affuck On
Mrs. FDR. Causes
WuIkouf

WASHINGTON, May l (LPA)
A score of Congressman walked
out on a loud and uncouth attack
on Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
delivered at dinner of the Natl.
Assn. of HomebuilderS here less
than a week after FDR's death.
Don A. Lotus, a wealthy local
homebuilder who has fought
government attempts to provide
decent homes for Negroes here,
made the ill-tempered speech
When Lotus assailed Mrs,
Roosevelt for allegedly touring
around the country in a little
coupe-and the coupe turned out
to be a Cadillac" and called her
"His wife, in the little hip
boots" Congressional guests at
the dinner decided it was time
to get out.
Reprimands Speaker
First, though, Rep. Walter
Huber Cd. o. took the floor TO
tell the builders group that he
felt it was ''in very poor grace
to attack the brave and bereaV-
ed widow of the great President
who has been called here a
great dreamer"
Lotus, according to a labor
official active on housing ques-
tions, "is noted as loud mouth
and a leader in the fight to pre-
vent elimination of the Negro
slums in Washington which have
netted building Spectators and
shack-renting landlords huge
fortunes.
This is the first time" ne
added, "that an outfit OF this
type has rejected criticisms OF
the Roosevelts."

Slave Labor Bill
Dies

WASHINGTON May l LPA)
Three months of battle, mil
lions of words of oratory and
thousands of columns of news
paper debate boiled down to just
four lines at the bottom of daily
papers last week. The four lines
were:
''The House returned the
work-or-jail bill to the House
Military Affairs Committee yes
terday thus sending the measure
to its grave"
In returning it to the COM
mittee from which it came, the
House, in effect, turned down
the Senate's invitation for joint
conference to work out legisla-
ton which would embrace vol
untary instead of compulsory
manpower controls.
With We Day close at hand,
and with wholesale cutbacks al
ready taking place all over the
country, no likelihood whatever
is seen for the revival of any
legislation involving a labor
draft" or a labor freeze"
