Plight Of Cotton Camp
Workers Reminiscent OF
Old Days of Slave Shi ps
By Ted PuStarfi

Everyone is familiar with the
term "displaced persons, after
reading of the "DP" camps in
Europe. During the late war, mil
lions of the population of invaded
countries were scattered over the
continent, as refugees, orphants, or
slave labor. After the end of
hostilities, the allied military COM
manders established these "DP"
camps as temporary havens for
those persons who were still out of
touch with their homes.
Arizona, too, has it's "DP" camps
They are situated on ditch banks,
in cotton fields-any place close
to cotton field that is big enough
to pitch few tents on. Some times
they are not tents, but board and
tincan shacks, mother earth for a
floor. If there is no irrigation ditch
close by, water is piped in, and
the solitary water tap in the center
of the camp is the one modern
touch in medieval setting.
The cotton picker is an
anachrOnism in this age of the
atom. He is not far removed
from the missing link" era, when
Man rOamed a hostile country
side in search of food, his natural
enemies being the maStOdOn,
pterOdactyl, and Saber-tOOthed
tiger. Agriculture, then as new,
was another of his enemies, be-
cause forests had been cleared
to make room for crops, and
Man was deprived of the cover
of the friendly trees. The cotton
picker is aSSailed on every side
by the new enemieS-greed, in
tolerance, indus trial farms
profits, subsidies, and imported
foreign labor.
A certain cotton grower in Pinal
County went to Oklahoma with his
truck and picked up a crew, which
he transported to Arizona. The
workers, men, women, and children,
were packed in the truck like the
African slaves were packed in the
holds of ships in the good old
days" of legal slave traffic. The
conditions of travel were about the
same. A few cautious and hurried
stops for food (if the travellers had
any money to buy it WITH and
the calls of nature. The calls of
nature were not individual mat
ters; they had to correspond with
the needs of the Boss. Water was
furnished, free of charge. I can
picture the dirty water cask, with
its cargo of bracken, stale water,
and the one tin cup, chained to
the barrel, it's germ-laden lips in
nocent of treatment with soap.
The slaves in the ships were
chained together, so that in the
event of a raid by a government
,, slOOp, they could be quickly
dumped into the sea, destroying
the evidence. 1t was very simple
and fast; just shove the end
man into the water, and his
weight would start the, entire
chain moving. The modern slave

Spare Stamp So
Expires March 81

Spare Stamp So, currently val

expire March 81 instead of APP
ril 30, OPA has announced. The
new stamp, valid April l, is good
for 10 pounds of sugar instead of
the usual five. The new 1O-pound
stamp will include the owners
canning ration. Beginning with
the April l stamp, all sugar
stamps from then on will be for
10 pounds. There will be no
special canning sugar this year.
F. A. Adams, regional sugar
executive at Denver, explains
that the change in rationing was
necessary to avoid printing of

were only four stamps left in
Ration Book -Four after Spare
Stamp So is used. The four re-
naming stamps, at the rate of
five pounds each, are not ade-
quate to provide consumers with
their proper ration. The stamp
value, therefore, has been doub-
led to avoid the substantial ex-
pense of printing and distribut-
ing new books. Stamps in both
sugar ration books and war ra-
ton books Four will be validated
for 10 pounds of sugar.

ACTS MEN LIVE BY

Every time something like this
happens, weary, cynical human
ity looks itself in the face. 1t sees
something there it had forgotten.
1t presses on with new self-re-
spect and new hope.
Commander Richard N. An
trim in 1912 was a prisoner of
war, and with some 2,7OO other
American prisoners was witness
to t h e savage beating of an
American by Japanese soldier be-
fore a Japanese force assembled
for the occasion. AS it seemed
the American victim could not
survive further beating, the 2, 700
Americans began closing in and
doubtless would have broken into
revolt against their guards and
all or many been shot. At this
point Commander Antrim offered
to ia Ike the remainder of the
beating.
What goes on in a mans mind
at a moment like this? Does hu-
man reason tell him it is useless
to interfere? That to do so will
not save the victim but may only
take another man to death? Does
something lower t h a n reason
argue almost irresistibly without
words that a man must save him.
self? Does every home tie. every
memory of yesterday and hope
for tomorrow, try to put in its
plea?
With something better than all
these, the man denies futility
and out-faces fear. And what
happens? A Navy citation says:
by his fearless leadership and
valiant concern for the welfare
of another, he not only saved the
life of a fellow officer and stunn-
ed the Japanese into sparing his
own life but also brought about
a new respect for America
and men and a great improve
ment in camp living conditions. "
Commander Antrim received a
Congressional Medal of Honor
the other day for his act of cour-
age and unselfishness. But
Christians who learn of that act
will add that ultimate in cita-
tons: Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends. Christ

Perhaps the momenou decision to date that has been brought about by the new TAFTHARTLEY the Resolution passed by the UNITED RAILROAD BROTHER HOODS at their Annual National Convention to affiliate with National Labor Organization IF THE CIO and AFL WOULD CONSENT TO MERGE THEIR INTERESTS INTO ONE INTERNATIONAL UNION

United Nations And the Oil MOguls

We all know the United Nations Organization was set up to pre- serve world peace. Its sponsors told us it could handle any inter- national problem and should have sufficient armed force to put down any revolt against it's au- thority.
 But, according to the Associated Press, representatives of this coun- try and Great Britain, speaking at Lake Success, delightfully."- cool spot in New York state, insist that the United Nations is not big enough to administer the rich oil resources in the Middle East"
 Only the oil plutocrats of Bri- tain and the United States can do that job. It means hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for them.
 It may mean another World War for Britain and the United States. The oil moguls are not worrying about that. Plain people fight wars, but their representa- tives are not capable of "adminis- tering the rich oil resources of the Near East.'

 Dear MT. Bishop:
 The American Federation of La bor at its 1914 Convention acted favorably on the Executive Coun- cil's excellent report on Coopera- lives. This report and the Conven- tion's action are outlined in the enclosed booklet entitled Con sumner Cooperatives."
 Pursuant to this action, Depart ment Of Consumers Cooperation has been set up at the National Headquarters in Washington. Miss Margaret Scattergood and several assistants are in charge of the A. F. of LIS Cooperative program. During the past year, they have worked closely with ECL and the Cooperative League of the USA in preparing a series of leaflets to be used in Cooperative educational work with A. F. of L. unions.
 At all times, representatives of the A. F. of L. have expressed a desire to work closely with exist ing Cooperative organizations and their representatives As a first step in this program, MT. William Green has written directly to a selected group of central labor un- ions suggesting that attention should be given to Cooperative de- velopment. We have been asked to provide the name of a Coopera- tive representative in each local- ity who might be introduced through this communication. Knowing of your earnest interest in this field, we have taken the liberty of using your name for the New London area.
 If you are willing to follow through, here are few sugges- tions:

News for Returning Vets

Tales of war days will be told and retold when veterans of New England's famed 43rd National Guard Infantry Division meet at their first reunion at Camp Mo Conaughy, Mantle, Connecticut, on September 12, 13, IA, 1947. Reg istrationS have been received all ready from 24 states and from Puerto Rico.
 Chairman Elmer s. Watson to- day urged all 43rd Division Veter- ans planning to attend the re- union to send in their registrations to Joseph E. Trimmer, Registration Chairman, State Armory, Hartford, Connecticut. This is necessary in order to plan for accommodations and meals for the large number of veterans expected to attend.
 While accommodations at the Camp are limited to men, the com mittee has obtained a limited number of hotel reservations in New London and nearby commit mites. Those veterans who wish to bring their wives should send in their registration at once in or der to assure a hotel reservation.
 Veterans who cannot attend the full three day reunion will be wei comed for any part of it.
 A full program that is sure to be of interest to all 43rd Division Veterans has been arranged. The program includes unit reunons, business meeting, recreation in- cluding fishing trips and games and an old fashioned clam bake. A memorial service for departed comrades will be held at 10 a. m., Sunday, September 14, on the pa rade grounds.
 Disabled veterans capabilities are being overlooked by major ity of the nations manufacturing employers it was revealed by the Disabled American Veterans after a nationwide survey of one thou sand manufacturers employing 33O, ,000 workers.
 The DAV cross-section survey showed that handicapped ex-Serv- icemen are not employed in 55 per cent of the plants surveyed, although they are proving them selves valuable employees in the 45 per cent of the plants where they constitute 2 per cent of the total payroll.
 In a statement issued at DAV national headquarters in Cincia- nati, Lloyd F. Oleson, national commander, said there lis great need for additional education of employers as to the capabilities of our wartime disabled veterans"
 Oleson said the DAV national survey proved disabled veterans to be excellent workers from stand point of attendance, efficiency and loyalty.
 Of the firms that employed dis- abled veterans, the survey showed 24 per cent had job-matching pro- grams-prcgramS of matching the capabilities of disabled veterans with the requirements of specific jobs.
 Although disabled veterans in all the plants where they are em- ployed show a remarkable record of adaptability," Oleson said, "the plant with a job-matching pro- grams showed the highest percent age of employed disabled veter- ans.
 They ranged from 10 to 12 per cent in several instances to B and 35 per cent of the total payroll. Also, the most favorable comment came from these plants. While eff ficiency and loyalty were high in both non-job-matching and job matching plants, the attendance record was much higher in the plant with a jobmatching pro- gram, indicating a greater desire to be on the job."
 The DAV National Commander said the survey justified usage of job-matching programs.
