airy and February, 1913, 388

the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Gallagher, near Lancaster,
north over the mountains from
Pasadena. There were eigh-

Avert Fund
Raising Split

A threatened split in fund-rais-
ing organizations for Israel was
averted last weekend at a meet
ing in New York when represen-
tatives of the Zionist Organization
of America, the United Palestine
Appeal and the new Committee of
Contributors came to an agree
ment, as urged by the Jewish
Agency. The Council of Welfare
Funds acted as mediators.
The friction arose as the result
of number of large givers to the
Palestine fund objecting to what
they termed too much ZOA con-
troll over the funds.
It was mutually agreed that
hereafter all funds collected for
Israel would continue to be col
lected by the United Palestine
Appeal (UPA) but will be sent
directly to the Jewish National
Fund (JNF) and the Palestine
Foundation Fund in Israel and
ALLEGATIONS made there. Previous
ly the funds were turned over to
representatives of these two
groups in New York and then
transmitted to Israel.

Evidence OF

PARIS (JTA)-Israel offered
to break the UN impasse In I'M

Negev and the Security Councils
armistice resolution this week by
suggesting that the Council set
time at which both would become
effective simultaneously.
Aubrey S. Eban, Israeli spokes-
man at the Untold the seven
nation subcommittee of the Secur-
ity Council that compliance by
Israel with the Nov. 4 withdrawal
order might be a suicidal ges-
ture" if it did not first receive an
assurance that Egypt was pre-
pared to respect the Security
Councils authority by attending
armistice negotiations.
At press time there was grounds
for believing that Israel would re-
ceive the necessary Z votes for
admission to the UN, 4 votes in
cluding the US. were assured. A
British spokesman said they
would not block admission by use
of the veto but would probably
abstain.

Merging OF
Reform Urged

BOSTON (JTA)-A 'progres-
sive rapprochement with the Con-
servative wing of Judaism" was
urged by DR.. James G. Heller of
Cincinnati, in the principal ad-
dress delivered at the 18th an
niversary banquet of the Union
of American Hebrew Congrega-
tions.
DR.. Heller expressed the opin-
ion that many of the leaders of
Conservative Judaism, which he
described as being poised at
some point midway between
Orthodoxy and Reform, were
sympathetic to greater coopera-
ton with Reform" In urging
early exploration of "rapproche-
ment," Rabbi Heller said that "in
many ways Reform Judaism has
moved back towards the Jewish
people, and towards warmer in
depreciation of it's own life, we
have drawn near the majority of
Conservative rabbis and thought
full laymen. And as Conservatives
have thought through their own
position, they have thought them
selves in large part into the the
oretical standpoint of Reform
Judaism"

Old Idea In Modem Form

Equality of opportunity is idea native to this

There is just wide gap. Millions of American adults

living and supporting families.
many years education leaders have recognized this
fact They have attempted to bridge the gap by offering
special carefully designed to help working people
understand their jobs their industries and their commune
ties They have scheduled evening classes held Institutes
arranged discussion groups They teach the things working
people want to know economic problems legislation, eff
fectng workers. the structure Of Labor Unions collective
bargaining arbitration community problems current events
Response to these courses has been tremendous but
the for providing this type of education in
adequate Only very small percentage of working and
attend these classes
Recognizing these facts Congress has been asked by
Labor and by many leaders of industry and education to
make university facilities industrial problems available
to the workers. just as the Agricultural Extension Act
made such facilities agricultural problems available to
the farmers The bill to do this has been reported out fav
oraby by the Senate subcommittee Education 1t back

Senator Thomas of Utah. and Senator Morse of Oregon

Union people, who have been keeping abreast of the

suggestion that the working people take cut in pay.
We have been expecting this. We knew it coming be-
the whole propaganda of the big employers has

Probably the most important guide to the price of

Wages Can't Be Static

In a special discussion of the way to sound progress
President William Green Of the American Federation of
Labor emphasizes the vital Importance of the home market
and industry that refusal to increase wages bars
the way to national economic advancement.
"A free enterprise economy" Green says, must provide
expanding home market to sustain full production
Two things essential % steady advance in produc
ton per workers. not by speedup but by improved echn
ques and teamwork between management and unions (2)
Sharing with workers the increased income achieved by this
teamwork their living standards advance continually and
their buying provides a growing market.
Green strongly stresses the second point by declaring:
sharing the increased income is the basis Of teamwork
and sustained production Flat refusal of increase
makes the whole process impossible"
Pointing out that living costs in April S4 per cent
above year ago, the AL chief adds "To stop i'm
lower living standards, a shortage of
buying and eventually lower production and reduced
employment"
1t is to be hoped industry will take President Green's
words to heart If it does not progress will be held back and
the danger Of depression increased.

Truth

1t is the boast of those seeking restrictive labor laws
that they doing not from selfish motive but to
promote the welfare of all the people.
Trade unonistS not fooled by this fasehood, but
other persons sometimes For their benefit would like
to recall remarks made the other day by Assistant
Secretary of Labor John T. Kmetz speaking at the annual
convention of the Missouri Federation of Labor
1t is essential Mr. said that we have unions
and free collective bargaining in this country Otherwise
free economy will cease to exist.
Moreover, labor unions must remain strong for if
they do not the standard Of living not only Of the union
members but of everyone else will decline
The truth is that those who oppose labor unions
putting their selfish claims ahead of their counrys well
fare For the higher standards by labor rebound ut
mately to the benefit of all.

Good Will

Most trade unions have been busly occupied with
their day day union affairs that they have had little time
spend another important mattether relations with
their neighbos, that vast body that call the general
public
1t of first Importance of course for trade unions
to stick to their main job of organizing negotiating agree
ment and adjusting grievances But is also true that in
the long all these first duties will be aided if the public
understands what the union is doing.
We think the outstanding successful achievement of
lam Lodge 824, Richmond Caf merits the attention of
all LAM members Lodge 824 has found time take active
part in civic affairs It's most noble achievement is the
ducon of musical review to raise funds for the cty's

Through this civic activity members of lam Lodge

trade union is of the community's big assets.

Why They Fight Unions

Union leadership has repeatedly warned the member
ship that their wages hours and working conditions at
stake This is the real issue in the nationwide campaign of
selfish interests against the Unions.
Unions business associations They exist to use the
group economic influence to improve the living standards
of the members They have done this very well in the last
quarter of century, with the result that the employers
have called congressman and legislators to stop them
Back of the TafIartey Act, and back of every state
enactment and every NAM advertisement is this single OBJ
iectiVe: to reduce wages That's why they fighting the
Unions.
The Big Steel trick and the Ford request for wage
cut should prove this any reasoning individual if any adj
dtonal proof required.
Make mistake about this: the word has gone out to
get tough with the Unions The lead has been taken by Steel
and the Automobile industries Others expected to fall
into line This idea is to hold Unions pass vicious
