Truck Drivers Strike
For Higher Wage Rates

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS).-
About 400 members of Drivers,
Chauffeurs and Helpers Union, Local
No. 639, affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor, struck against
contractors here in a dispute over
wages. 1t was stated that the driv-
ers who received rs cents an hour
under a contract which expired Au-
gust 81 asked 90 cents an hour, an
increase from $6 to $7.20 for an
eight-hour day.
Howard T. Colvin, Labor Depart
ment conciliator, and Tom O'Brien
of Philadelphia, international repre-
sentative of the Teamsters' Union,
intervened to promote an early settle
ment of the dispute. Construction
work on number of government
buildings was slowed down as re-
suit of the refusal of the contractors
to pay the new union scale.

Metal Trades Department Head
Urges Absolute Neutrality In
Practice; Warns OF Tax Load

sonal income and death taxes. All of
the remaining taxation, which is by
far the largest amount of taxes paid
is collected from labor, from the con-
sumner.
Wage earners pay a much
larger proportion of their income
in taxes than any other group.
The form of their taxes is indi-
rect-the hidden taxes-the ad-
ditional price they pay for every
day commodities of life.
"The present tendency is for these
indirect taxes to increase, and they
must continue to increase unless the
nation can resume the production of
wealth, sufficiently to make our ma
tion prosperous again"
Says Lewis Blocks Unity
Frey charged that labor unity is
impossible because John L. Lewis will
veto any peace proposal (which does
not meet with his personal approval
and personal ambitions"
The metal trades leader sharply
criticized C L. O. activities and charged
that the C. I. 0. and Communist party
were working together to destroy the
American Federation of Labor.
He said there was "an earnest de-
sire" among the membership of both
the A. F. of l.. and c. l. o. for peace,
and that the A. F. of L. peace COM
mittee, named at President Roose-
velt's personal request, "went even
farther than some of their instruc-
tions in the effort to present pro-
gram for unity which would accom-
plish that much desired result"

METAL TRADES
OPPOSE EMBARGO
Ask Congress to Permit Sale of Goods
to All Nations-Say Act is
Discriminatory.

Cincinnati (ILNS). - Holding the
Neutrality Act is "un-neutral" and
discriminatory" the thirty-frst an
nual convention of the Metal Trades
Department, American Federation OF
Labor, declared for revision of the
act to permit the sale of goods to all
nations. This would mean elimina-
tion of the present embargo on arms
shipments to belligerents.
The convention, in approving re-
port drafted by the resolutions COM
mittee, declared that the Neutrality
Acts provisions gave negative aid
to the relationships" of Russia and
Italy, while preventing Great Britain
and France from buying American
arms and munitions because they
were at war.
Law Held Extremely Un-neutraP
The convention criticized the law
because of the embargo on finished
munitions, while trade in other com
moditions equally necessary for war
is permitted.
eve believe the present so-called
Neutrality Act to be extremely un-
neutral and discriminatory against
the democratic nations" the report
said.
It called for removal of the Gun
neutral" provisions from the law tc
allow free sale of goods to all nations
''in such manner as will prevent the
United States from becoming allied
with one group of warning nations
against another"
Labor Peace Efforts Declaration
The convention blamed Chairman
John L. Lewis of the G. | o. for fail
ure of unity efforts between the c. |
O. and A. F. of L.
In the closing session, the conven
ton indicated that it did not favor
further efforts by President Roose
welt or others to bring the labor or
ganizations into agreement.
Delegates adopted statement tina
''we believe it is unnecessary for an.
official of government to direct a re
quest to the A. F. of l.. to do th
thing which it has always shown ;
willingness to do"

John p Frey President Of Metal Trades Department,
No Compromise With Any Type OF Propaganda.

tice. 1t must not be expressed in
catch phrases. We must maintain
neutrality which is neutral in purpose,
in action and policy-a neutrality
which does not work to the advantage
of some warning nations and to the
disadvantage of others"
Frey expressed the opinion that
"free trade union movements and die
tatorships cannot exist side by side
in any country"
"The democratic countries abroad,
particularly the most influential and
powerful, had golden opportunity
to make Europe safer for democracy
but instead of lending a helping hand
to the German republic they pursued
the opposite course. They ;. made
possible the rise of Adolf Hitler"
Opposition to Reds Urged
Frey's report called for vigorous
opposition to Communist activities
"As the Communist party is now
redoubling it's efforts to secure a
measure of control within the mem
bership of the affiliated international
unions; as it seeks to destroy the
American wage earners' faith in
American institutions, and in the poll
cies of American trade unionists, it
becomes necessary that we should de-
fend our principles and policies by
tirelessly and vigorously exposing the
under cover, subtle and deceptive, as
well as the open propaganda, being
carried on against US by the Commu-
mist party and those others in our
country who give it support.
'sNo Compromise" He Says
"There can be no compromise with
any type of propaganda, the purpose
of which is to enable those who are
not trade unionists to shape the pur-
pose, the policies and the activities OF
our trade union movement"
Frey warned strongly against "di
vide -the-wealth" schemes and de
clared there can be no recovery unit
the national income is materially in
creased.
"The plague of the depression ant
unemployment which burdens u.s." h,
said, 'eis due to the fact that ou
agencies for the production of wealth
are not operating at normal capacity
and it is through their activities tina
much of the national wealth is pro
duced."
Wealth Increase Held Vital
Pointing out that the increase II
the national debt "vltally affects la
bor," Frey said:
"There is an unfortunate belief il
the minds of many, that somehow o
other the taxes to pay interest on tn
national debt and reduce it's amount
can be collected from the wealthy
The only taxes that can be collecte
directly from the wealthy are the per

INSURES PERMANENT JOBS

Concerted union label-buying action
