Washington, D. C. (AFLNS).—The
existence of a definite and continuous
war waged against organized labor by
many anti-union employers with the
use of modern munitions from gas
bombs to machine guns, in addition to
labor spies and strike breakers de-
tailed by detective agencies, is one of
the outstanding revelations made by
the La Fomette subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Education and
Labor, which is probing the scope and
methods of interference with civil
liberties and with the right of the
workers to organize in effective labor
unions.
In a report to the Senate summariz-
ing some of the information acquired
so far in its investigation the commu-
te* said:
Stored in All Industrial Centers
“The volume of gas sold to Industry
in the years 1933 to 1936 is over $450,-
000. Known locations of machine guns
and known destinations of shipments
of gas established the facts that these
two kinds of garrisons coincide on the
map and that warfare materials are
concentrated in every center of indus-
trial population in the country. Lists
of the buyers of these goods read
much like the lists of those who hire
strike-breakers and spies.
Private Arsenals Condemned
"That private persons or interests
should be allowed to maintain arse-
nals is surprising enough. That in-
dustry should be permitted to arm
unscrupulous men under their own
pay, gravely wearing the badge of the
law is startling. That there is al-
loweto flourish a gigantic commer-
cial enterprise in which employers
collaborate with professional spies in
assaulting citizens because they exert
their lawful right to organize for col-
lective bargaining, is shocking to any
true defender of constitutional govern-
ment.
Spy System Destroys Civil Rights
"From your committee’s still frag-
mentary inquiry in this field of its
investigation, it is clear that espionage
has become the habit of American
management Until it is stamped out,
the rights of labor to organize, free-
dom of speech, freedom of assembly
will be meaningless phrases.
“Men cannot meet freely to discuss
their grievances or organize for eco-
nomic betterment; they may not even
express opinions on politics or reli-
gion so long as the machinery of
espionage pervades their dally life.
Nor can industry itself do aught but
multiply suspicion and distrust. In-
dustry from /ear pays millions a year
to live in more fear.
"What legislative means can be
adopted by Congress to curb these
anti-American practices will not be
apparent until the custom is shown in
all its ramifications.”
In view of the importance of the in-
quiry the La Follette committee asked
the Senate to provide it with an ap-
propriation of $50,000 in addition to
the $15,000 appropriated last Summer
just before Congress adjourned.
It is said that of the five children
of Queen Marie and the late King
Ferdinand of Rumania only one,
Nicholas, can speak the Rumanian
language.

“Mind” is the subject of the Lesson-
Sermon which will be read in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist on Sun-
day, February 21.
The Golden Text is: “Trust in the
Lord with all thine heart; and lean
unto thine own understanding”
(Proverbs 3:5).
Among the citations which comprise
the Lesson-Sermon is the following
from the Bible: "Hear, O Israel: The
Lord our God is one Lord" (Deut.
6:4).
The Lesson-Sermon includes also
the following passage from the Chris-
tian Science textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: “We can have
but one Mind, if that one is infinite.
We bury the sense of infiniture, when
we admit that, although God is in-
finite, evil has a place in this infinity,
for evil can have no plae, where all
space is filled with God" (page 469).
Washington, D. C. (AFLNS). — A
trenchant criticism of the stand of
Gov. Charles F. Hurley of Massachu-
setts opposing the Child Labor Amend-
ment was contained in a telegram to
the Massachusetts Executive by Wil-
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Pointing out that industries have
migrated from Massachusetts to
States where children are permitted
to be exploited by ruthless corpora-
tions, Mr. Green told the Governor
that even from the point of protecting
the industries of the State he should
be in the foremost ranks of those sup-
porting the Amendment, which “will
protect the children of the Nation and
prevent exploitation on a national
basis.”
Following is a text of Mr. Green's
telegram:
“Honorable Charles F. Hurley, Gov-
ernor of Massachusetts. Boston, Mass.
“Your open statement addressed to
President Roosevelt in opposition to
ratification of the Federal Child La-
bor Amendment was both surprising
and exceedingly disappointing to the
men and women of Labor and all their
friends throughout, the United States.
“Your stated opposition to the rati-
fication of the Child Labor Amend-
ment is a repetition of the fantastic
and speculative opposition which has
been repeatedly offered by those who
have thus far prevented ratification of
the Child Labor Amendment by three-
fourths of the States. All of the al-
leged reasons you assign as the basis
of your opposition have been answer-
ed clearly, accurately and definitely.
“The Child Labor Amendment
means but one thing—the prohibition
of Child Labor nationally. It will pro-
tect the children of the nation and
prevent exploitation on a national
basis. It will substitute a national
program of child protection for local
efforts to save the Nation’s children.

Figures released this week by the
Department of Commerce disclose that
in 1935 there were 55 barber shops in
Battle Creek. In these tonsorial par-
lors there were 56 employees on the
payroll, most of whom were, it is fair
to presume, barbers. The total wages
received by these 56 employes were
$38,000.
Why did the barbers of this city get
union minded and organize in the lat-
ter part of 1936? Here’s the answer.
In 1935 the average yearly earnings
of these 56 employes in the 1935 bar-
ber shop listing amounted to only
$678.90.
There is no need of further com-
ment Less than $700 was, indeed, a
meagerly wage for any man following
a trade that is listed by the govern-
ment as a profession.

The Vermillion
Trades Council,
he arose and retired with the sun. His
life was a daytime life. His tasks
were daytime tasks. In the dark he
was blind and helpless, and so he
came to adapt his living habits ac-
cordingly. He did the only thing that
was logical for him to do under the
circumstances; when darkness came
he lay down and closed his eyes and
slept until he could see again.
Now we have moved indoors. We
have multiplied our seeing tasks and
have extended our day. With valiant
effort our eyes have attempted to ad-
just themselves Indoors to these ex-
acting demands and have stood the
continued abuse remarkably well.
It really is "abuse," because dur
eyes haven't changed. They are still
daylight eyes. They are still delicate
seeing instruments which function at
their best under amounts of light pro-
vided by nature. Is it any wonder
then that our eyes show the effect of
strain and that people in ever-increas-
ing number are developing optical de-
ficiencies?
With the invention of the electric
lamp there came a man-made sun
which made it possible for us to see
safely, easily and well. A new sci-
ence of seeing has been explored, and
it has been established that artificial
light is not the cause of eyestrain.
Rather it is improper, inadequate Il-
lumination. Artificial light can Just
as readily serve the eyes as daylight,
provided it is the right kind of light,
is supplied in sufficient quantities,
and falls in the right direction.
While good light will possibly im-
prove some kinds of defective sight,
good sight will in no way improve de-
fective light

Washington, D. C. (AFLNS).—In a
partial report presented to the Senate
in support of its request for an addi-
tional $50,000 appropriation the Sen-
ate sub-committee of the Committee
on Education and Labor investigat-
ing labor espionage emphasized the
wide use of spies by detective agen-
cies and pointed out that strike-
breakers frequently have criminal
records.
Spies Are Double-Dealers
“Pinkerton’s," said the report in re-
ferring to the Pinkerton National De-
tective Agency, "who for the first
seven months of 1936 spent something
like $240,000 of employers’ money for
corrupting men to sell out their fel-
low workers, and who- assert that
their company does no work on di-
vorce matters, tells in the ironical
words of its general manager what
they require for character in their
informants: ‘We make inquiries in
the neighborhood in which the live,
to learn what their standing in the
community is, whether they are con-
sidered honest, trustworthy, law-abid-
ing people.' In striking contrast to
this character reference is a hooked
man’s description of his work: ‘I
have known Ferguson for twenty
years and Kepler for ten years (both
of them union men), and now I am
selling them out, as they tell me most
anything.’
Chowderhead’s Slimy Career
"Drawn from the underworld, a
large number of strike-breakers have
criminal records. An interesting ex-
ample is Sam Cohen, alias Sam Gold-
berg, alias Chowderhead Cohen, alias
Charles Harris, who testified before
the committee.
"His preparatory work in industrial
relations included a term in Atlanta
for conspiracy, four years in State’s
prison and four years in Sing Sing for
burglaries, and detention as material
witness in 'a notorious murder case.
Out of thirteen strike-breakers fur-
nished by Railway Audit and Inspec-
tion for the General Materials strike
in St. Louis in 1932, seven were want-
ed by the police of other cities on
charges including burglary, forgery,
larceny, inciting to riot, and assault.”

Sunday and Monday. "Reunion,”
Dionne Quintuplets, Jean Hersholt,
Rochelle Hudson.
An army of studio fechnicians, ac-
.tors, writers and cameramen spent
weeks of careful planning and prep-
aration before completing the Dionne
Quins’ second Twentieth Century-Fox
picture, "Reunion."
Several weeks before the actual
shooting began. Director Norman
Taurog and several aides entrained
for the Quins' home at Callander, On-
tario, for a survey of the conditions
under which the babies would have to
be filmed and a series of conferences
with Dr. Dafoe, the "Country Doctor”
who brought the Quins into the world.
Taurog’s party included art directors,
writers, sound engineers and camera-
men. c-
Ten days were spent making va-
rious tests by this group before the
entire company composed of approxi-
mately 80 players and additional tech-
nicians boarded a special train at
Hollywood bound for the Canadian lo-
cation. Onto this same train were
hooked five freight cars loaded with
sound and camera apparatus, "props”
and ten tons of electrical equipment.
Players that accompanied this sec-
ond wave included Jean Hersholt, the
lovable backwoods practitioner of
"The Country DoctorDorothy Peter-
son, Rochelle Hudson, Robert Kent,
and John Quslen, heading a large and
important cast.
With ths Quins now able to play
little piano pieces and dance, Taurog
devoted a considerable amount of his
filming operations to sound. The chil-
dren were taught simple nursery exer-
cises,. appearing before the camera*
for only one hour a day.
Tuesday and Wednesday, “Wedding
Present,” Cory Grant, Joan Bennett.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
double feature: "Bar Z Badman,"
John Mack Brown; "Come Closer
Folks,” James Dunn, Marian Marsh.
