WHAT IS
DEMOCRACY?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

L
We all believe in democracy. But
just what does the word mean to us
What is your definition.
At meeting of business agents re-
Gently, one of them gave a definition
which | think is fine Interpretation
of the word, Democracy is that form
of government which is run by a re-
sponsible group from the majority
but with the actual participation of
all minorities."
The advantage of this definition is
that it clearly defines the duties OF
both groups. The majority elects the
leadership-but it has no right to ride
rough shod over the will or the rights
of any minority. The majority has
the responsibility for action, but nc
right to revenge itself upon those
who disagree with them. 1t is as
much Of duty for the majority to
work with the minority as it is for
them to carry out the expressed
wishes of their own group.
The minority has a duty too-that
of giving fullest cooperation to the
majority, even while holding firm to
their own beliefs. They have the right
to make every effort to convert the
majority to their own way of think
ing, but they must do this by rea-
soning and argument, not by force,
and they have no right to become a
stumbling block in the way of prog
ress.
Democracy implies that men will
get together to find common meet
ing ground for their opposing view
points. Since each man has the right
to speak, there should be no offense
taken at difference of opinion Demo
cratic discussion should be conducted
not only in spirit of tolerance and
fair play-but with full recognition of
the basic fact that there are more
things upon which men of good will
are agreed than there are points of
disagreement. Democracy is not COM
promise-it is cooperative action.
You as labor men believe in de-
mocracy Your unions are run ac-
cording to the democratic principles.
Democracy is the life blood of the
Organized Labor movement. When
the lights of democracy are dimmed,
Labor goes into servitude.
What is your definition of democ-
racy? | wish you men throughout the
country would discuss this in your
Central Labor Bodies and in your
locals and let me know what the
voice of Labor says to this question
I've an idea we'd really find the an
swer!

THE CHERRY TREE

to be just on vacation, with stragglers
here and there still shooting it out in
bitterness--and here and there in
Illustration.
1t is indeed sorry mess.
But the state of affairs today is
supremely tragic for what is por-
tends, more than for what it is at the
moment.
Again look at the Dardanelles.
Someone has to back down there-or
| else!
And when and where will be the
spot at which nobody backs down?
1t can happen.
Nor do we fare too well in our own
hemisphere. South America is filled
with varied forms of conflict. Not the
least of the irritants is the Com
munist minority, which exists to irri-
tate.
Our own country also is filled with
trouble 1t is all warfare of one kind
or another.
1t isn't case of "the boy stood on
the burning deck.v We are all of US
on the burning deck. All around are
black waters, not at all inviting.
Can we not reason? Can we not
see our general peril? Can we not
comprehend the need for peace, for
understanding, for a society that
knows how to live, as well as how to
die? Do we not have the capacity to
save ourselves from destruction
There is not anything in all the
world today as important as peace
and yet we seem to treat peace as
something that we can do without.
a Peace would be wonderful-if we
could get it. And we had better get
it-CMW.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1946-08-29

| Between the hour of writing and
the time these few lines are read all
manner of things may happen and
some of them will happen.
But the world is in sorry mess,
The vaunted intelligence of mankind
seems to be on vacation.
Take the Dardanelles as an ex-
ample. What possibility for trou-
bles lies in the famed Dardanelles.
The word itself ripples like a song,
but right now we get anything but
music.
Take also Trieste and the ill-temp-
cred Yugo Slavs.
Take China and also take India
enormous populations split among
themselves in mutual murder.
Take Jerusalem and take also Iran.
Take, to heap up the measure, the
Dutch East Indies.
Did someone say something about
peace?
The will to have peace seems yet
too weak to be effective.
Suspicion and mistrust fill the air.
Greed goes Sinking around the
place-around nearly ALL the places.
In the face of the atomic bomb and
giant planes that can fly half way
around the world, men bicker over
relatively little things.
Because everything else is little in
the face of the portent of the atomic
bomb, once it is loosed in deadly
earnest.
That is something which the human
race doesn't yet even dimly under
stand.
And how can they all understand
it? Great hordes of human beings
completely lack intellectual capacity
to understand. And among these
great hordes are masses of Arabians,
Hindus and Chinese, but who do have
plenty of capacity to torment the
world.
Oh, peacemakers, conjure forth
good will, good sense-and peace, be-
fore it is too late!
Long ago we could have fixed the
terms Of good peace, but we let the
chance go by. We could have fore
stalled ambitions and greeds. But we
didn't. Then we were getting on with
the war. And when the war-the
phase of twas over we
once more hurried our armies back
nome.
So, the kettle began to boil again;
The cauldron sent forth it's fetid and |
poisoned steam.
War has not yet ended. 1t seems |

Inspection Shows
Many Violations

New York City (ILNS). - Nearly
so per cent of New York and New
Jersey firms inspected in July were
found to be in violation of the Fair
Labor Standards Act and the Public
Contracts Act and were ordered to
pay wages which had been illegally
withheld. Arthur D. White, regional
director of the Wage Hour and Pub
lie Contracts Divisions announced
that back wages amounting to $134,-
248 were found due to 1886 en-
ployees.
Of 568 establishments inspected in
the month, 270 were found in viola
ton. A substantial number had
failed to pay proper overtime. Many
of the firms found in violation of the
Accent hourly minimum requirement
had, also failed to keep proper records.
The industries in which the largest
amounts of restitution were found
due were apparel, food, and kindred
products, wholesale and retail trade,
miscellaneous manufacturing indus
tries, metal products and logging and
lumber products.

Labor Day

which they enjoyed during the wal
production drive. However, the soar
ing cost of living has, to large ex
tent, cancelled these gains unless
prices can be pushed back to theil
normal levels. This can only be ac.
complished by greatly expanded pro-
duction to end existing shortages. II
is, therefore, to the interest of al
American workers to boost produc-
tion by every means possible.
Fortunately, the mass unemploy-
ment which loomed threateningly
after VI Day failed to materialize
Despite the return of millions of
members of the armed forces to civ
ilian life, jobs are plentiful. AS pro-
duction hits high gear, the gateways
to more and better employment OPP
portunities will increase. Unless the
tide of initiation breaks bounds and
engulfs our economy, the danger of
postwar depression will be avoided.
On the legislative front, labor has
attained little progress during the
year. We had hoped for broadening
of our social security system and for
the Inauguration of national health
insurance, but Congress failed us. We
strove for the enactment of a long
range housing program which would
permit the construction of millions of
badly needed new homes during the
next ten years, but Congress fell
down on the job. On the other hand,
labor was forced to defend itself
against a series of hostile moves by
Congress which would have under
mined the freedom of American
workers and handcuffed the trade
union movement. Fortunately, the
worst of these measures were defeat
ed or vetoed.
In the year ahead, organized labor
must concentrate greater effort to
win public opinion to it's side. The
trade union movement enjoys the con-
fidence of the nations workers to a
degree never before attained This is
evidenced by increasing memberships
and the results of collective bargain
ing elections. The membership of the
American Federation of Labor now
stands at an all-time high of more
than seven million.
We believe that when the public
generally understands the high goals
sought by labor and the valuable ser
vices rendered to the nation by the
trade union movement, it will reject
the flood of anti-labor propaganda
which reactionary forces have poured
out against us. Our enemies are max
ing last-ditch fight to hatl the clock
of progress and revive Fascism in
this country. They are backed by
vast wealth and abundant resources.

Housing Materials
Are Rolling Out
Wyof+ Reports

Washington (FP) = Production in
creases in building materials are
steadily mounting, but there is nc
immediate prospect of supply catch.
ing up with the demand, Housing Ex-
pediter Wilson Wyatt announced ir
reporting July progress of the vet
erans' emergency housing program.
"Our housing goals call for an
ever-increasing rate of construction,
he ssid, "and that in turn requires an
ever-increasing rate of materials pro-
duction just to keep pace with the
program"
Wyatt reported June brick pro-
duction jump of II per cent and an
additional II per cent in July. The
estimate of a year ago was more
than doubled by the July, 1916 out
put of 457 million bricks.
Lumber production increased for
the fifth consecutive month in May,
passing three billion board feet for
the first time in two years. Civilian
Production Administration has re-
vised upward it's official estimate of
total 1916 production from 80 billion
board feet to 80 billion, not including
billion to be imported.
Other materials hitting postwar
high marks in June are clay sewer
pipe, structural insulation board,
cedar shingles and asphalt roofing.
June production drops were regis
tered, Wyatt reported, largely in
items made from iron and steel.
Nail production, while increasing in
June, fell short of the months goal
by 1900 TONS An OPA increase of
$40 a ton in June, preceded by two
boosts of 81 each, brought the price
level of nails to AZ per cent above
the 1941 base price. Recently CPA
added nails to the list of critical ma
terials for which builders may obtain
priorities assistance in buying.

the new price control law.
The decision to decontrol grains
except for poultry and livestock feeds
made from certain grain byproducts
was based largely on the promise OF
bumper crops. "Our domestic de-
mand for grains" said Thompson
twill be somewhat lower this coming
year. And although there are as YET
no final figures on the amount OF
wheat we will ship to the needy folks
in other lands, reasonable judgment
would indicate that these needs car
be met with present supplies"
Admitting that wheat and corn
prices have risen since June go
Thompson claimed subsequent market
decline plus the prospect of an ample
crop justified the decontrol decision.
The wait-and-see policy on dairy
products was explained by the claim
that post-June 30 price rises at retail
are largely due to ending of govern
ment subsidies. Thompson admitted
the American people would not get as
much dairy products as they could
use, but said ait is just going to take
little patience on everybody's part
to make our supply go around fairly"
By patience" Thompson explained
he meant both producer and con-
sumer, adding: "If dairy products
move upward from here on out, this
board can and will put the industry
back under control" The board, he
said, would watch milk prices closely.
