Danger of Overconfidence; Labor Must Renew Fight But Labor must not be lulled into overconfidence by these encouraging developments. There is still urgent necessity for militant labor action behind wages and hours legislation. First, the bill is still stalled in the House Labor committee and so long as it remains there is dead. Therefore, the first task is to exert pressure on members of this committee to pry this bill out once more. Second, even when the Labor Committee reports favorably, the bill must again run the gauntlet of the House Rules Committee which tied it up for over six months in the last special session. Thirdly, labor must be vigilant to prevent complete emasculation of the legislation by amendments. In the special session the bill was weakened in this way to a shameful extent. Now the fight must be made over again with the aim of getting I I I ' Tine Uitalh News E-iabor -- have no excuses for doing it.

WHEN ARE WORKINGMEN CHEAP By DR. OIARLES STELZLE Executive Director, Good Neighbor League' If workingmen are counted cheap they are often themselves to blame. Workingmen are considered cheap because they count themselves cheap. Not only is it true that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, but so shall he become in the hearts of others. Workingmen cheapen themselves by believing that the best things in life are intended only for the rich and powerful. And by the best things I do not mean automobiles and diamonds. These are not the greatest blessings that come into a man's life. The average workingman has the notion that skies and sunsets are not intended for him so he keeps his eyes lowered to the level of the sordid things of life. There is no doubt that some workingmen are being denied some of the things to which they are justly entitled and they would be weaklings if they did not fight for them but nobody may deny them the wealth of art and nature, which after all, makes a man rich in the truest sense. When a workingman is ashamed to admit his interest in books and pictures and flowers, he debases himself and his fellows. He is cheapening the class to which he belongs by denying the sensitiveness of the workers of our common heritage, in this respect. Workingmen cheapen themselves by being indifferent in their dress. I know that they cant afford to wear swell clothes. But a frayed linen collar, not worth another laundering, has cost many a man the chance of a lifetime. An average workingman hasnt much money to spend on his clothes, especially when he s out of a job, but a clean shirt and a clean collar, with a clean shaven face, has singled out many a man from the crowd of unemployed that answered a newspaper advertisement, or when he mingled with his fellows. Workingmen cheapen themselves by knocking the boss. Maybe the boss needs to be knocked once in a while, but this is the favorite and thoughtless pastime of a good many men who ed Sidney.

Camp was struck in great haste and the children were led away. No attention was paid to the injured boy, who was attended only by his brother and soon bled to death. The news quickly reached the police in Grimma, near which the drills were held; they pursued the column and examined all the boys. Apart from the prescribed daggers they found ten loaded revolvers. The murderer declared in his defense that he thought a spy had gotten into camp and for that reason he had fired. The father of the victim, an old Nazi, ventured in his bereavement to give the Leip-zigNeueste Nachrickten a death notice in which he reported that the boy had met with an accident at a nightly Hitler youth exercise. He also preferred charges against the murderer for unlawful possession of a weapon. He did not dare to charge him with murder. The father was summoned before the party court of the district of Leipzig, which declared that by his notice in the press he had endangered not only the reputation of the Hitler youth but also that of the In connational socialist state. sideration of his long membership in the party, he was merely reprimanded, but he was forced to withdraw hi? charge against the Hitler youth leader. er 7, A.
