GRAHAM TALKS
Continued from Pace one,

destructive pranks of mischievous,
thoughtless school boys.
These old warships would have
served a better purpose had they been
cut up for scrap, rather than being sunk
in deep water.
Scrap iron is being shipped to this
country from European ports at a cost
of $2o.50 a ton at the wharf and $3.50
per ton for transportation across the
ocean.
There is no navy or combination Of
navies a threat to the American, there
fore, the experiments were unnecessary
Such waste deserves condemnation.
Retirement Act
Congress in 1885, passed the Social
Security act, which included Retirement
Benefits. The law provided for a tax
on the employer OF one per cent on the
pay roll and the worker to be taxed one
per cent On the wages paid. The law
further provided that the tax was to be
increased SO as to provide for a decent
pension to retired workers-so far Con-
gress has refused to increase the tax
for retirement. The result is that re-
tired workers receive from S3S TO $50
in Debated dollars, per month as re-
tirement benefits.
There are over IL billion dollars cred
tied to the Retirement Fund, but not in
cash, and Congress must budget each
year to pay the Retirement Benefits
this means that the taxpayers annually
must make up the deficit in the Retire
ment Fund.
Those responsible for the admins
tratfons6f Social Security have openly
stated that it will take a tax on en-
ployers amounting to nine per cent Of
their pay roll and a nine per cent tax
on workers pay checks to give us So
cial Security and after that tax is levied
it will take from IS TO 50 years for us
TO have Social Security in this country.
The Social Security Retirement Act
has been in operation since Jan. LIST,
1896. and we must recognize that it is
too expensive in administration and the
act should be rewritten. The failure Of
Congress to take care of the Retire
ment act. caused John l.. Lewis to take
direct action and forced the coal OPP
orators TO pay sufficient money into a
fund from which coal miners reaching
the age Of 65 years would receive a
pension OF one hundred dollars per
month. John took home the bacon to
the aged coal miners. The success of
John l.. Lewis in getting a Retirement
Pension for coal miners will cause other
unions to attempt TO duplicate the action
OF Lewis. Already a number Of groups
are talking about taking direct action
to get q decent retirement benefit for
the members who have reached retire
ment age.

sist and demand now, as they have al
each convention held since the conclu-
sion of World War II. that an agree
ment shall be promptly reached which
will definitely and %irrevocably provide
for international peace and guaranteed
security.
The enemies OF labor have continued
their aggressive drive against us
through the enactment OF anti Labor
legislation during the past year. We
have met this challenge through the
mobilization OF our resources, our COL
lective strength, and an unyielding de-
termination to fight with all the power
at our command against the attacks
which have been made upon us. We
are challenging the validity OF much
Of this legislation in the courts. We
are refusing to acquiesce in the ac-
ceptance OF this destructive, hostile leg
islation. We can and we must bring
about the defeat of members of Con-
gress and the state legislators who
voted to place the legal yoke Of bond
age around the necks of the working
men and women of the nation.
The problem of initiation has become
more intensified. 1t is worse than it
was when we met in our Sixty-sixth
convention a year ago. Prices for the
necessities of life have risen beyond
the point of toleration. Congress failed
to deal with the serious housing prob
lem, minimum wage legislation. social
security and health insurance, support
to education and legislation for the en-
ioyment of civil rights by all classes
Of people.
All this makes it clear that this con-
vention will be called upon to deal with
most difficult and serious problems. We
must face them h%eroically and cou-
rageously. We must speak directly for
the millions of working men and wom-
en- whom we directly represent and for
millions OF others whom we will truth
fully speak for indirectly. The history
of the American Federation of Labor
and the record which it has made JUS
titles the conclusi IN that all of the

sented to the convention will be DEATH

STRIKE BELMONT RADIO
TO r WAGE RISE

CHlCAGO.-July l9. "A two-blocl
long picket line this morning Launched
a strike of Belmont Radio workers for
a wage increase.
The 379 to 7 vote to strike came after
four months of negotiations during
which the union, UE local l14o, had
granted the company's request for a
two-month extension, or until the in
dustry pattern would be set.
But when the rest of the radio and
electrical industry came through, the
Belmont management backed down
After several lesser offers it finally hi,
a top of eight cents an hour. This was
rejected by the workers.
Still hoping. however, to avoid a
strike, the union asked the company
to grant eight per cen which would
have meant 10 cents an hour. This was
to be retroactive to May IS. A third
demand was for checkoff of union
dues. The breakdown came on these
union proposals.
Now Belmont has earned the worth
les honor Of being the only important
radio company in the country to have
forced its workers onto the streets in
the present wage negotiations.

to provide retirement benefits for their
aged workers has no security to it.
The coal industry is surely on the
down grade, that is, less miners are
employed.
As Europe RECEIVERS. there will be less
coal exported and home consumption
will fall off during a depression. min
ing companies will go out Of business
and there will be less money being paid
into the fund to pay the benefits.
Direct action to secure retirement
benefits is really syndicalism and syn
dicalism has no place in a parliament
tary form Of government such as ours.
Therefore. it will be the better plar
TO amend the present law. which is pat
termed after the Bismarck Iron Chan
cellor method OF 20 years ago, and
adopt a law with a pay-as-you-go pol
icy, raise the money to pay Retirement
by a tax on incomes and everyone who
pays the tax. eligible for benefits.
New Zealand has such a law and or

Anthony J. DrexeI BiddIe

Although a gentleman by birth and in
stinct, there was nothing gentlemanly
about the doctrine of do or Die" which
Colonel Anthony J. Drexel Biddle taught
fighters in both World Wars and which he
expounded in peacetime to FBI agents
and selected police officers. Colonel Bid
die insisted that in hand-to-hand combat
no less than in the Darwinian process Of
natural selection, the flttest would survive
The fittest fighter. according to Colonel
Biddle, Is the soldier who forgets the
Marquis of Queensbury rules and concen-
trates, instead, on disabling his opponent
by the very tricks and blows which the
Marquis frowned on, or by any other
effective expedient-however ungentle-
manly. When an enemy lunges at you
with leveled bayonet or criminal sticks
gun in your ribs the colonel always
reminded his pupils, it is question Of do
or die. What is done in such crisis can
not be dictated by considerations OF sports
manship.
Hence, in his world-famous DO or Die"
manual of Advanced Science in Individual
Combat" and In his many colorful lectures
to Marines and other fighters, Colonel
