EMBLEM OF PROGRESS
What has been described as perhaps
one of the most effective presenta
tions of the reasons for demanding
union products and union services ever
to be broadcast was aired recently
over Station WTOP of the Columbia
Broadcasting System by Albert N
Dennis. Mr. Dennis, president of the
Washington Union Label League, is
the founder of the well known "Labor
News Review" radio program. On his
634th weekly broadcast, he said:
"The one emblem that most truly
represents the fruits of ceaseless toil
and effort for the betterment of man
kind, from Alpha to Omega, from the
days of serfdom to the present ad
vanced state of wage earners, is the
union label—whether a label on a
product, a union shop card or a union
service button.
"The union label affords the ONLY
positive assurance that the goods you
purchase were (1) made by capable
workers, fairly compensated for their
work (2) not made in a foreign na
tion by exploited labor (3) not made
in a prison (4) not made by child la
bor, and (5) not produced by 'sweat
shop' methods. The same principles
applies to union services of all kinds.
"When you demand union-made
goods and union services, you (1) as
suredly help yourself (2) you help
your fellow-men, and (3) you aid in
the advancement of civilization to
higher standards and greater accom
plishments.
"These simple truths must be plain
to all who toil, their origin a part of
the age-long struggle of ALL wage
earners—and certainly their worth
should be appreciated by all. Truly,
the union label is an emblem of pro
gress."

Last week this column discussed the
question of, a "hard" or "soft" peace
for Germany, reaching the conclusion
that the whole "issue" is a phony and
that the only question is a peace that
will stick, in which Germany will be
given an opportunity to take her place
in the family of nations and help
the rehabilitation and betterment
the world.
In connection with the division over
a "hard" or "soft" peace, Americans
will be interested in seeing the latest
March of Time film, "What To Do
With Germany". In it they will discov
er that statesmen, too, differ on the
best method of dealing with the Ger
mans after the war.
Sumner Wells, former Under-Sec
retary of State, whose book, "The
Time for Decision", has been publish
ed recently, would divide Germany
into 3 states, but insists that a peace
while realistic, should not be barbar
ously severe or vengeful. Britain'
Lord Vansittart, for 8 years Perma
nent Under-Secretary at the Foreign
Office, says that the disease is nat
ional and the cure must be national
Others who speak in the film, like
foreign relations expert John Foster
Dulles and columnist Walter Winchell
round out a picture of what is being
proposed today as a permanent cure
for German militarism and aggres
sion.
Dramatic and significant aspects of
the American labor struggle in some
of its greatest years are portrayed
from the human side in Bi'ead Upon
The Waters a book by Rose Pesotta
which Dodd, Mead & Co., will publish
in late November.
From 1933 to 1944, Miss Pesotta was
the only woman vice-president of the
International Ladies' German Work
ers' Union, now 305,000 strong. As a
in the book shows that the death rate
has been lower than for 1913 each
year in the 30-year period from 1914
to 1944, except for 1917 and 1936. In
1913 the rate was 85.5 per 100,000
population. Last year it was 72.3.
During the triple decade there were
2,808,000 accidental deaths. If the
death rate had been as high each
year as it was in 1913, this death toll
would have been 3,119,000.
WINNING THE PEACE
If we're to win the peace as well as
the war, the cost of living must be
kept down and the purchasing power
of money preserved. A reckless infla
tion that would necessarily be followed
by the catastrophe of deflation—with
its unemployment, bankruptcies, mis
ery and heartache—must be prevented
at all cost. Let's make no mistake—
dangerous period lies ahead. The
American people have nothing to fear,
however, if they show in the future
the same common sense they have
shown in the past, and continue to
put every penny over rock-bottom ex
penses into the purchase of more and
more war bonds.
WHAT NEXT?
The Buffalo, N. Y., plant of the
General Engineering Co. has develop
ed a reveting machine which will save
000 to 3,000 man-hours in building
an airplane, company officials an
nounce. The machine, they say, puts a
rivet through metal up to three-eights
of an inch thick and performs 4 op
erations which formerly were done
separately, drilling, counter-sinking,
placing the riviet and heading the
rivet.

Labor Takes Veterans
To Parties, Gives Them
Weekend Of Fun
Houston, Tex.—American Federa
tion of Labor workers here believe
that wounded war veterans recuperat
ing at nearby hospitals should be
shown a good time and they have con
tributed $10,000 of their hard-earned
wages to see that the war heroes get
it.
The entertainment program, under
direction of Pat Moore, Secretary
Treasurer of Local No. 326 of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Teams
ters, is a weekly affair and it in
cludes all the trimmings.
Groups of six to sixteen wounded
veterans stationed at McCloskey Hos
pital are invited through the com
manding officer of the hospital to par
ticipate in a weekend of fun. Their
fare, including pullman, is provided
by the fund. Girls working at nearby
shipyards and war plants meet the
soldiers at the station and the vet
erans take their choice. They then
proceed to Galveston for a day at the
beach, including deep sea fishing if
they so desire. Dancing and a night
club tour occupy the evening hours.
Trips to football games and a picnic
to the historic San Jacinto battlefield
are also on the schedule.
When the veterans are ready to go
back, they receive a photographed
record of their two-day trip as a sou
venir of the good times they have en
joyed.
All expenses of the entertainment
program are pai3 for from the fund
voluntarily contributed by AFL work
ers.

three brands, blends with cane neu

have been sold out, but in some small

Teachers Oppose "Hasty"
Plans For Compulsory
Military Training
Washington, D. C.—Opposition to
any "hasty or ill-considered action to
set up compulsory military training
for youth in the post-war world" was
expressed by the Commission on Edu
cation Reconstruction of the Ameri
can Federation of Teachers at a spe
cial meeting here.
The views of the teachers' group
on this subject, which has not yet
been passed upon by the American
Federation of Labor as a whole, were
conveyed by letter to President Roose
velt.
The commission pointed out in its
letter to the President that while it
strongly favors whatever measures
may be necessary to the national de
fense, "it is convinced that the na
ture of these measures cannot be de
termined at this time."
The requirements of national de
dense after the war, the teachers said,
will depend upon the character of in
ternational as well as national de
velopments after victory is attained.
The teachers urged that a commis
sion of outstanding persons represent
ing the Army, Navy, veterans organi
zations, educational groups, labor,
management, agriculture and the pub
lic at large be appointed to inquire
into the question of a national com
pulsory military training program for
American youth. The commission
should be empowered to make recom
mendations to the Government, the
teachers said.
