TIONAL REPRESENTATIVE ska Newspapers, 1411 h Pourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, W NO CHILDREN The widespread development of a “no children” policy among landlords in the renting of houses and apartments is both a social and a moral problem. We grant the considerations which enter into the average landlord's way of t{xinking on the sub- The demand for apartments and homes is so great, thanks to war conditions, that he can pick and choose renters. And since adults usually—though by no means always—are easier on rented property than families with children, a great many landlords have exercised their priviiege of renting only to family groups without children. This creates a serious social problem because in wartime shifting about of families, innumerable fam- ilies with children find themselves up against a verit- able blank wall in their search for accommodations. And, to make matters worse it hits hardest the fam- ilies of servicemen. The landlords object chiefly to young children, and so many of their fathers are in the service. To say that they are “on the spot” ject. when they } | | rent SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1945 have to move is only to point out the obvious. Yet we wonder if landlords who callously avail themselves of the “no children” policy ever stop' to eonsider fully the frantic despair of a young mother with children, |left alone to find a new home, tend to her family and perhaps work to help support it—when every- where she turns she hears that refrain: “No children.” It takes children to keep up a nation, to fight wars, even to construct the houses that landlords And in the modern world, where the tendency not to have children because “they're too much trouble” already is so grievously marked, this war- time closing of the housing door to parents of children is certain to leave a serious social imprint on -the nation for years to come. As a footnote, we might add, there need be no financial loss to a landlord who accepts families with children if a bond for any possible damage or de- terioration ic posted. That might be a handship for | some families, but less of a hardship than finding nowhere to go. Perhaps our “equal rights” Legislature can find some way to eliminate this discrimination, also. To Curb Make-Work (New York Times) Representative Monroney of Oklahoma has had the courage and clear-sightedness to introduce a bill that seeks not merely to curb Mr. Petrillo personally but to curb some of the anti-social practices in which the latter has been one of the chief offenders. Mr. Monroney's bill would first of all make it illegal for any union to try to force an employer to hire jts own members for a task when another union had already | | been designated by the National Labor Relations Board as the exclusive bargaining agent for that task. This would curb the present effort of Mr. Petrillo to take over the “platter turners” on the radio. Its general effect would be to uphold the authority of the NLRB. More important than this, Mr. Monroney's bill would make it illegal for any union to force an employer to bire or to pay wages to “any person when such person is in fact in excess of the number of persons reasonably required to perform the work in which the employer is engaged.” This would not| only end the forced hiring of “standby” musicians but a great many make-work practices outside of the musical field. The bill would also prohibit “unreason- able restrictions” on the use of material, machines or equipment. This provision is amply safeguarded from the standpoint of labor, to permit restrictions related | to health, safety or working conditions. It even per- mits the retardation of technological advance to provide for “an orderly change in,the methods of production.” Finally, the bills outlaws combinations of unions and employers to monopolize any part or trade. Here at last is a measure that would strike at the evil of make-work practices, practices which are still tolerated in spite of a national labor shortage, and at a time when every misuse or waste of labor postpones the day of victory in war.

To this, Louisiana’s Jimmy Mor- rison replied, “I'm a lawyer and a Congressman, but I've never heard of that law. Will you show it to me?” Gindick said he was referring to a ruling by ,the Attorney General, but Morrison insisted upon seeing the ruling or hearing it from the Attorney General or one of his staff. Finally, Gindick gave up and called Mrs. Ethel Gilbert, head of the OPA Office of Industry Ad- visory Committees, after the Con- gressmen refused to go to Mrs. Gilbert’s office. “You gentlemen will have to leave,” Mrs. Gilbert told them. “The Attorney General does not want Congressmen at industry advisory meetings.” » ‘ Again Morrison insisted upon! proof that the Attorney General had made such a rulinq; to which Mrs. Gilbert replied, “You are tak- mg advantage of a lady, Mr. Mor- Morrison, however, stood hls ground until Mrs. Gilbert explained, “This is a rule I made.

They were followed by Mrs. Gilbert, who announced that so long as the Congressmen insisted upon staying, there would be no official action at the meeting, even though the grow- ers had travelled hundreds of miles at their own expense. Finally, the two Congressmen left When the strawberry growers met last year at OPA, Morrison and Senator Tom Stewart of Tennessee were on hand—and were permitted to stay throughout the meeting CAPITAL CHAFF Representative Wilson of Indiana, complaining about the waste of manpower in war work recently, read on the floor of the House this letter from a Navy Yard worker “One girl found 'she was losing her to another famous isolationist, ex- | Senator Gerald Nye, is now work- ing for the isolationist Washington Times-Herald, first cousin of the |Chicago Tribune . . .
