CHILD LABOR LAW ENFORCEMENT

A rather extraordinary situation has been re-
vealcd to general public notice by the u. S.
IChildren's Bureau, in directing attention to de-
csion of the IT, S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
District in Mississippi backing full enforcement of
child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
The court reversed lower court decision in
the Of vegetable packing companies at
Hazlehurst, Miss. The lower court, showing
strange consideration for awbreakers, refused to
grant injunctions restraining the packers from fu-
act on the ground that the general standing and
regulations Of the defendant employers was such
to assure their future compliance with the law.
Very properly taking different view OF the
matter, the higher court declared that promises OF
law observance were not enough and citing re
peated persistent and deliberate violations by the
defendants reversed the lower court and order
inunctons against the employers.
Katherine +. Lenroot, head of the Children S
Bureau pointed out that special interest attached
to the case because it involved a kind of employ
ment in which violations Of the Fair Labor Stan
dards Act are high, probably because children tra-
have been employed around packing
sheds and there is resistance to change. Such an
attitude as that reflected in the proceedings in
the lower court, she added is often met within in
stances where compliance with the federal child
labor laws requires breaking up of community
accepted employment patterns.
But, as the higher court SO well stated the
matter" said Miss Lenroot, Congress passed the
child labor section of the Fair Labor Standards
Act in the interest and for the welfare of the
children Of the country. 1t is gratifying indeed to-
have such a clear-cut statement, as III this IN
stance Of the courts responsibility for enforcing
the national policy"

AMERICAS first peacetime Christmas in years
was a time of rejoicing throughout the na
ton. The Yuletide spirit was dampened day later
however, when tragedy struck little mining town
in Kentucky.
An explosion at the Straight Creek coal mine
near Pinevile trapped 81 miners. OF that number
only survived the disaster The other "a were
killed in the mine or died after rescue. Twenty
four wives became widows Eighty-tWo children
were orphaned
The Red Cross swung into immediate action
as rescue crews fought their way through still
blazing rubble and deadly, gas-filled areas. Voun-
teers from the Bell County Red Cross Chapters
aided by Eastern area personnel, brought food to
the rescuers until efforts were abandoned Then
a survey of emergency needs and long-range relief
for the widows and orphans was begun. The be-
reaveo families were interviewed, food and Other
necessities provided for those who needed them.
Red Cross representatives met with union officers
and heads of local, state and federal agencies to
plan for continued care of the stricken families.
The Red Cross will undoubtedly be concerned
with the problem of these widows and orphans Tor
months For that very reason, this case serves as
an object lesson for support OF the current Red
Cross campaign.
The work of the American Red Cross is not
limited to war-stricken areas nor even to service
men and veterans.
Disaster can and does strike at home. When
it does, help is needed quickly. That help must be
adequate it must be sustained. Good intentions
and amateursh efforts, however Wel-meanlng,
are not enough.
Every member Of the American Federation
Of Labor has stake in the work of the Red Cross.
Our brothers and sons in the occupation forces
as well as those who have returned, will share in
its widespread services The work Of the Red
Cross among victims of war and oppression is a
source of pride to all Americans. Disaster relief,
civilian blood donor plans, accident prevention,
home activities and nursing programs are import
ant.
BY tradition we are humanitarians. The Red
Cross and the millions of people who need its help
are counting u.s. We fulfill our responsible
ity by giving generously to the 1916 campaign.

VACATION IDEA ESTABLISHED

THE WAR LABOR BOARD has gone out of eX-
stence, but we will long remember our expert
ences with it. This government agency was set
up to see that wages we're frozen at the 1871 level
plus the ID per cent allowed under the Little Steel
Formula The Board did good job of keeping
wages frozen. That was the reason our union was
not able to secure any more for our members than
it did.
did get the vacation with pay well established.
That is something that we should appreciates
because, without the efforts we made at that
time, it would have taken long time to get the
vacation with pay principle as well established as
it is at the present time.
If the OPA had done its job of holding prices
down rs wages We're held down, would not
have all OF this unrest among labor now.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER?

WE have often noticed that the most bitter anti
" Labor ndustriasts and financers Of the
country seem to have leanings toward faSclsm
The recent report OF Senator Kilgore's investigat
ing committee, which has been getting the facts
about German war industries, is intensely inter
esting, with this in mind Kgore says many bio
American businessmen, now clad IN Army uni
forms with plenty Of brass, are in key positions
in Germany. He says:
"For the sake of profits to few corpora
tions, these businessmen are blocking the disarma-
ment of Germany, and are jeopardzing future
peace by saving German war industries, with
which they had, and hope TO have again, inter
national monopoly agreements The Nazi indus
trial organization is not repugnant to these Amerl-
can business men, and they have shown every
disposition to make their peace with it,"
Then Senator Kilgore names a few names
One is Brigader General William H. Draper form
nr official of big banking interests associated with
u. S. firms that had cartel ties with the Nazis
Another is Rufus Wysor, of Republic Steel, which
is notorious for its outright hostility toward Or
panized Labor. Interesting? Yes, intensely inter
esting to working people who sent their sons and
brothers to fight and die in the struggle against
Nazsm, because it's the first sigh-post to World
War Three.

Bakery Drivers Plan
Statewide Contract

Delegates representing $500 union

statewide uniform contract.
Leo Jerman, Cleveland, secretary
treasurer of Bakery Drivers Union
Local So and secretary of the Ohio
Conference of Teamsters bakery driv-

lem for the affiliated local unions was
to bring expiration dates of the var

AFL President Warns Return Of
uses To States Would Make
Service The Prey Of Politics
Green Charges That Such Control Would Embroil The
Job Program

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Re-
newing labor's fight against transfer
of the U. S. Employment Service to
state control, President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
charged that such control would en-
broil the job program in politics and
patronage and subordinate it to the
function of paying unemployment
benefits.
President Green and other witness
es before the Senate Education and
Labor Committee urged retention of
the USES under federal control, pre-
ferably as a permanent agency. They
assailed the recent action of the House
which ignored recommendations of it's
own Labor Committee and voted to
turn over the service to state and ter
ritorial employment offices. Presi-
dent Truman has already vetoed bill
returning the USES to state control
and legislation before Congress seeks
to overturn the veto.
Sees Return Disastrous"
A breakup of the USES, Green
maintained, would be disastrous" to
the veterans job program, would up
set employment standards and would
be backward step from the full en-
ployment goal "to conditions where,
even at best, man in every 6 was
out Of a job"
Green declared that the labor
market will become national in scope
and will have an increasing "mobil-

ity." Thus, federal USES would be
"a real asset in terms of getting the
maximum number of people to work
at their maximum abilities and skills," /"
he declared.
Nelson H. Cruikshank, AFL direc-
tor of social insurance, attacked the
proposed transfer on the ground that
the state agencies, as administrators
of unemployment benefits, force down
wage standards by compelling skilled
workers to take substandard jobs in
stead of affording to them a chance to
seek places utilizing their maximum
abilities.
Charles G. Bolte, chairman of the
American Veterans Committee, charg-
ed even more strongly than Green that
return of USES to the states would
make it the prey of politicians. He
declared that some state political
machines were trying to capture To-
cal jobs in the federal employment
service for patronage in connection
with the 1916 Congressional elections.
Charges States Lobby
Furthermore, Bolte charged that the
state unemployment compensation
commissioners shave maintained a
lobby in Washington to pressure
Congress into returning the employ
ment service to the states immediate
ly, a lobby which is being financed
indirectly by the federal Treasury"
He asked the committee to investi-
gate the lobby, suggesting it was using
government money paid into state
employment agencies.

OUR TAXES
By Ruth Taylor

There are lot more people pay
ing taxes today than ever before. An,
it is supposed to be very funny tt
joke about the subject in a bewailini
sort of way.
l don't find joke about taxes at al
l just don't happen to thinl
we should joke about something tina
should be taken seriously.
No, l don't like a curtailed incom,
better than anyone else-but, some
how, reading the great mass of re
ports of conditions overseas that com,
to my desk each day, has made M
see this in different light.
Taxes are one of the few ways
in which every citizen can partic-
ipate in the government.
Taxes are contribution every
free born man and woman can
make to the freedom which has
given him and her an opportunity
to earn living.
Taxes are an insurance against
slavery. They keep the brutal heel
of the conqueror from pressing
against the neck of any man or
woman in this country.
Taxes are a tangible express
sion of our faith in the democratic
processes, in equal justice for all
before the law, in the way Of life
which is evolving for the first
time on earth equal opportunity
for every man and woman accord
ing to his or her talents.
Taxes are every citizens OBJ
ligation-laid as fairly as is pos
sible upon every person able and
willing to earn his way. Tax
Sinking and tax lodging aren't
American. It's like cheating your
self-because you, too, are Ameri-
can.
Taxes are the price of liberty.
To pay taxes is a privilege not
penalty. 1t is a proof of fitness.
You should take pride in your
ability to earn enough to pay
mans sized tax. Slaves do not
pay taxes. Only free men pay
them.
That is how I feel. And / dom
think Pm different from anyone else
Let's not take this tax-paying light
ly.
Let US instead think of the SUI
fering, starving people all over tn
world-and be glad we have tn
privilege and the opportunity of pay
ing our own way!

Education, Not Legislation

Vincent F. Morreale, General Coun-
sci for the IntI Hod Carriers, Build
ing and Common Laborers' Union Of
America, in a radio address over
WTOP-CBS, declared that drastic leg
islative measures against labor and
industry "can only lead to national
chaos and individual HARM" He add
ed that "the need Of America today
is not for more labor laws, but for
greater understanding Of the funda-
mentals of the labor movement-in
short: EDUCATION, NOT LEGIS-
LATION."
