Seasonal Squirt
Brings More Jobs

Washington, D. C.--Total employ
ment in the United States, exclusive
of agriculture workers, increased 413,-
600 last month to total of 35, $50, 900,
the Department Of Labor reported.
All major Industries reported en-
ployment gains. In trade establish
ments alone, reflecting pref Christmas
preparations, 100000 workers were
added to the payrolls. The number Of
government employees dropped 1884,
600, chiefly because Of dismissals in
the War and Navy Departments.
Despite the lay-off of 10000 en-
ployes in aircraft and ship building,
the total of actual production work
ers in factories increased $1,000 be-
tween October and November.

AFL Tobacco Union Signs
Pact With Philip Morris

Richmond, Va.-A new agreement
between the Tobacco Workers Inter-
national Union, Local No. 2O3 and
No. 209, and the Philip Morris To-
bacco Company has just been consum-
mated, in which the makers of the
famous Philip Morris cigarette grant
ed to over 23O0 employees the follow
ing concessions:
A blanket &c an hour wage in
crease; six holidays per year with
pay; two weeks paid vacation and
the agency plan, which provides that
all employees covered under the agree
ment are required to bear their pro
rata share of the operational cost of
collective bargaining. Under this
method, the company agrees to de-
duct from the pay of each employee
who is a nonunion member, the same
amount that is deducted as union dues
from the pay of the union member,
this sum being turned over to the
local union having jurisdiction in the
plant.

to have war, if decade of war is the
trouble.
But, if the structure of the United
Nations Organizations is so filled with
faults that ordinary people believe it
cannot work, then ordinary people
ought to begin to shout to high heaven
for remedying of those faults.
There is too much glib talk of "the
next war;.
Those that talk about "the next
war" ought to talk instead about the
war to end civilization, if they believe
another war is coming.
For that "next war;, if it comes,
will leave so little that civilization as
we know it will "perished from the
earth" and not all the cyclotrons in
existence could put it together again
in our time.
Some folks may think they are So
phisticated when they rattle on about
"the next war;. Maybe they think it's
the smart" way to talk.
On the contrary, it is either most
doleful, or it is utterly stupid and you
can take your choice. Maybe it's both.
Now look at this: Within foreseeable
time there are only two nations capa-
BILE of waging war against the United
States and they are Russia and the
British Empire.
No other group Of nations could
last beyond the first round, unless they
were able to spring string Of atomic
bombs on our cities by surprise.
A group headed, perhaps, by Argen-
tina, could do that. Of course the pos
sible development of atomic bombs by
some small nation is something to
take into account, until the. United

The future of mankind, as civiliz-
ed being, depends upon it.
Every person who talks about "the
next war" should be required to state
categorically "why" and with what
nation.
And let us act, meanwhile, toward
other nations as if we expected peace
with them and from them.
We can actually talk ourselves into
that ''next war" and ''last war" if we
don't watch our tongues and our ac-
tions
If enough persons tell man he is
sick he may easily find himself sick
and bringing trouble by thinking does
MT end there. -CMW.

Nations Organization perfects its con-
troll machinery.
But that is sure to come, unless
the United Nations Organizations is
wrecked. So, by and large, we remain
with two nations and only two, to con-
slider.
Well, if we have the sense Of a
goose we aren't going to fight either
one, nor are we going to allow them
to pick quarrel to fight US.
Now more than ever in all history,
men and women need to think and be-
lieve that THIS PEACE ORGANIZE
TION MUST WORK.
It must be made to work.
