HOW WE GET
THAT WAY
MRS. D. W. HINDS
Although we start'crying for some
thing shortly after entering this
world, our first desires are merely for
food and bodily comfort and are, in
most cases, easily satisfied. Soon our
interests, though for some time re
maining quite objective, extend be
yond our immediate needs. At this
age, our senses are keen we investi
gate everything within reach life is
so full, and we are so eager our de
light cannot easily be restrained, and
we really are happy. We hear the
birds sing and watch the plants grow,
and, enjoying the love and apprecia
tion of others, we are contented.
When and how do we lose this
healthy response to nature and take
up the false idea that we are lacking
in something, that our happiness de
pends upon the accumulation of ma
terial things? It is often implanted in
our subconscious minds during our
very early years, when we are so
young, so new to the world, that we
are easily misled by our elders. When
we hear Mother intimate that her hap
piness depends upon a new hat of the
purchase of a new car, we do not ques
tion her. When Father says that his
coming increase in salary will make
the family happy, we do not doubt him
—he is so big and wise. And gradual
ly, we come to believe that we our
selves are wrong in being happy and
contented, that happiness lies outside
ourselves, around the corner. In con
sequence, by the time we have reach
ed the teen-age, we are ready to give
up the fundamentals of life for the
illusions of our elders.
The false premise remains with us
sometimes throughout life. If we rid
ourselves of it in middle age, we are
fortunate. We see men striving for
money with which to make themselves
happy, yet many persons now wealthy
are miserably unhappy. We know
young persons who pine for travel,
while others who do travel, do so in
complete boredom with eyes closed and
minds filled with prejudice. We hear
it said, "To be happy, we must have
health." Yet, we see about us speci
mens of perfect health who are far
vjfrom happy. On the other hand, we
liisee -invalids who arc extremely useful
•''and happy. In spite of this evidence
to' refute our conception of life, it is
difficult for us now to realize that
happiness comes from the ability to
enjoy what we have.
It is not yet too late, perhaps, again
to cultivate our natural resources
By forcing ourselves, painfully, we
can take sufficient exercise to awaken
our old zest for eating. By studious
effort we may once more learn to
smell the meadows and to hear the
tinkling brook.
But what of our children Shall we
mislead them as we ourselves have
been misled? Shall we teach them by
word and implication that they are not
to be happy now but later, when they
have acquired something which is
now beyond their reach? Shall we
keep them reaching constantly for the
unattainable or shall we, by example,
show them the truth? What is the
truth? That they will always be happy
provided they keep their God-given
active curiosity, their pleasure in
achievement, their natural reverence
and kindliness and the ability to en
joy the simple things of life..

Dallas, Tex.—The greatest organ
izing drive ever undertaken in this
territory was launched here with re
sounding success by President William
Green and a thousand other labor
leaders at the. Southwestern Labor
Conference.
President Green, in a nationally
broadcast address, declared the Amer
ican Federation of Labor is stronger
today "numerically, financially and in
every other way than ever before in
its history."
He called on industry and the
farmers to join with organized labor
in a national unity program to pro
mote America's material welfare and
safeguard American ideals.
He pledged the American Federa
tion of Labor to do its utmost to keep
this nation out of the European war.
He warned members of Congress
that the A. F. of L. will judge whether
they are deserving of re-election on
their votes on the Norton Bill, amend
ing the National Labor Relations Act,
which has the full endorsement of the
American Federation of Labor.
Enthusiastic cheers greeted Mr.
Green's denunciation of the policy and
activities of Communists in this coun
try. He pointed out that Norway's
key cities fell victim of the Nazis be
cause of treachery and he asked
whether the current anti-American
campaign of the Communist Party did
not fall in the same category.
Secretary-Treasurer George Meany,
several members of the Executive
Council, A. F. of L. Department heads
and a large number of officers of na
tional and international unions also
addressed the delegates who repre
sented practically every A. F. of L.
organization in five states—Texas,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona.
The two-day meeting was one of
the most outstanding events in the
history of Dallas. Government offi
cials, business men, religious leaders
and the press all cooperated in mak
ing the labor rally go over with a
bang. W. R. Williams, Southeastern
Representative of the A. F. of L., was
in charge of all arrangements and
presided at the meeting.
A constructive and progressive pro
gram for state legislation was adopted
by the delegates to the conference, in
cluding increased benefits under state
unemployment compensation systems
and ratification of the Child Labor
amendment.
The two outstanding national legis
lative measures endorsed by the con
ference were the Norton Bill and the
amendments to the United States
Housing Authority Act providingt new
appropriations for slum clearance.
President Green predicted the NoiN
ton bill will be overwhelmingly adopt
ed at this session of Congress if Con
gress is given an opportunity to vote
on it. He said:
"This measure has the full endorse
ment of the American Federation of
Labor because we are confident that
it will cure the present maladminis
tration of the National Labor Rela
tions Act without weakening or im
pairing the fundamental protective
principles of the act which are so im
portant to labor.
"We will welcome the vote of any
member of Congress for the Norton
bill as an act of friendship toward
labor. We will be forced to regard
the vote of any member of Congress
against the Norton bill as an un
friendly act."
Harry C. Bates, president of the
Bricklayers Union, made a strong
plea for support of new appropriations
for slum clearance to provide decent
housing for the underprivileged and
to provide jobs for unemployed build
ing trades workers. He said:
"The USHA program is one of the
means to achieve these objectives. It
is not a partisan program. It bears
no political imprint. It is in a real
sense labor's own program.
"Having done as much as it has to
launch the USHA housing program
labor must not permit it to be scut
tled at the time when the real worth.

Communist Anti-American Campaign
Likened To Nazi Treachery In Norway
of this program has been demon
strated and proved to the world be
yond challenge. That is why I ask
every delegate to this meeting to act
without delay and to appeal to their
congressmen urging them to give
their full and unqualified support to
S. 591 in order to insure the enact
ment of this important labor legisla
tion. On your action now depend the
future jobs of thousands of workers.
On your action now depends the future
of low rent housing."
Migratory Labor Probe
Planned By House Unit
Washington, D. C.—By a practically
unanimous vote the House of Rep
resentatives has authorized the ap
pointment of a special committee to in
vestigate the problem of migratory la
bor and recommended legislation for
the rehabilitation of homeless fami
lies. President Green of the American
Federation of Labor personally appeal
ed to Chairman Sabath of the House
Rules Committee to grant prompt con
sideration of the bill.
Representative John H. Tolan
(Dem.), who sponsored the legislation
in behalf of the California delegation,
declared the situation is so acute that
it cannot longer be ignored with safe
ty. He said 27 different agencies are
"now pecking away" at the problem,
but making little headway in its so
lution. Representative Bertrand W.
Gearhart (Rep.), from an agricultural
district in California who also sup
ported the bill, said that "migrant
families living in ditch-bank camps
must be provided with shelter, a piece
of land, a new opportunity."
GIANT ENGINE IN SERVICE

the most powerful freight locomotive

City. The engine is of 5,400 horse

Garner didn't inquire. He was

payment to surviving relatives men
tioned above is six times the primary
insurance payment earned by the
worker up to the date of his death.
For example, if the monthly insur
ance payment would have been $30,
the lump-sum death payment to the
surviving relative would be $180.
If there is no such named surviv
ing relative, the person or persons
who paid the burial expenses may be
repaid for the actual cost, up to six
times the primary insurance payment.
In other words, if the monthly in
surance payment was $30 and the bu
rial cost $150, the lump-sum payment
would be $150.
If the burial expenses were $200,
the lump-sum payment would be $180,
