Reds-should have the main jump In
the National. Ill let you guess
where the Browns and Phillies will
probably wind up in the long pa
rade.
This leaves us twelve clubs under
both big tents for the main guess
ing act. They are the Dodgers, Pi-
rates, Cubs, Giants and Bees In the
National-the Indians, Tigers, White
Sox, Athletics and Senators in the
American. l don't believe any Of
these clubs can run IL and I don't
believe any one of them will finish
last.

MAINE FEDERATION
ASKS LEGISLATION

Portland, Me. (ILNS).-A resolu-
tion calling for legislation that would
enable the Maine State Department of
Labor to prosecute employers delin-
quent in wage payments has been
adopted by the Maine Federation Of
Labor, at it's 36th annual convention.
Other resolutions condemning to-
talitarian governments and their fifth
columns in this country, and motions
condemning oppression of minorities
of all kinds were likewise adopted by
the assembled delegates.
Ready For Duty
John j. Murphy of Boston, New
England representative of the A. F.
of L., declared at the convention that
five million paid up members of the
A. F. of L. will fight side by side if
called on by their country. Murphy
approved the administration defense
program.
The following officers were elected:

starts on his fifth consecutive year

elected treasurer. Horace E. Howe,

tasks. He also favored using exist
ing established federal agencies for
the program such as the Federal
Committee on Apprentice Training
and the Federal Bureau for Voca-
tional Guidance.
AS indicated in preliminary an
nouncements, the compulsory train
ing program would stem from the
National Defense Commission and be
under the direction of Sidney Hill
man, labor advisor, and Secretary of
Commerce Harry L. Hopkins, CO.
operating with the NYA, WPA and
CCC.
Fenton, Watt and Brown went so
far as to send letter to the White
House recommending "coordinating
committee" with equal labor and en-
ployer representatives, augmented
with government agencies now train
ing workers, headed by single CO.
ordinator.
The IL international Unions in
making their pledge TO give the ma
tion every possible support, said they
must take into consideration the fact
that there are at present some 10
million unemployed in the United
States, and that goodly number of
these are skilled craftsmen. While
fully realizing the part that training
must play, the international unions
believe first consideration for employ
ment should be given to the present
unemployed and those skilled workers
now employed in less satisfactory oc-
cupations. At present large num-
Der of the most highly skilled me-
chanics are being denied employment
because of unsound and unjustified
age limit barriers.

GREEN CALLS FOR
ADEQUATE DEFENSE

New York City (ILNS).-In a ring
ing speech declaring that adequate
defense must be the chief concern of
the United States at this moment,
William Green, President of the
American Federation of Labor, ad-
dressing large New York audience
giving a dinner in his honor chided
"those we'll meaning Americans who
think that we can close our eyes to
the blitzkrieg in Europe, turn our
backs to the Atlantic, discount the
facts of modern life and still be safe"
Speaking before an audience of 1900
men and women presided over by Max
Zaritsky president of the United Hat,
Cap and Millinery Workers Union,
A. F. of L., Matthew Woll, vice presi-
dent of the Federation and Senator
Robert F. Wagner as honorary chair
man, Green called for adequate de-
fense so that America may be ready
"to meet froce with force, urged all
possible aid to the Allies short of war
and demanded outlawing of the fifth
column" of Nazis and Communists.
During the course Of the dinner, the
A. F. of L. president was presented
a volume of testimonials containing
tributes from many persons prominent
in the nations political and cultural
life, including Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, Governor Herbert Lehman
and Mayor La Guardia.

Metal Trades Unions to Speed
Up National Defense Program;
Compulsion Criticized
Pledge of Every Assistance Made by Metal Trades De-
partment-TO Put Membership and Resources at the
Disposal of Government-Age Limit Question.

Washington, d. G. (ILNS) The
Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor has
pledged the nation "every assistance
within their power" to gain rapid
production of material for national
defense, although several union mem
Der officials expressed criticism of the
proposed compulsory training pro-
gram.
Announcement of the pledge to put
their membership and resources at
the disposal of the government was
made following national conference
here of international presidents and
officials representing IL metal trades
unions composing the A. F. of l.. de-
partment of 100000 members.
Officials made known their imme-
diate intention to take census of all
skilled labor available in the metal
trades to determine where retraining
or special training will be necessary,
but several leaders, including John
P. Frey, president of the department,
Frank j. Fenton, Director of Organi-
zation for the Federation, interna-
tional Representative Robert j. Watt
and Machinists' President Brown ad-
ministered reproofs to the compul-
sorry training program as announced
or made counter proposals.
Frey recommended a voluntary
system of training in lieu of the COM
pulsory service plan, basing his argu-
ment on the belief that 100000 young
people were being trained now in vo-
cational schools under the direction
of $4,000 teachers, most of whom are
on a part-time basis. BY doubling
the shift, he pointed out, 100000
youths could be trained for defense

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Un-
employed and semi-skilled workers
will receive first consideration in pro-
viding ample voluntary" labor for
the national defense program, accord
ing to an announcement from the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commission.
If necessary, facilities for the train
ing of 100000 people can be made

The plan, as outlined by the Com
mission in an official statement asks
that funds be made available for vol
untary in-service training of workers
in industry, WPA workers, those on
NYA projects and for the unemployed
generally as they may be needed in
the defense program. Plans are
under way to coordinate activities of
government agencies, private in
dustry, organized labor and local
civic organizations.
Under the voluntary" employment
plan as outlined, workers already en-
ployed will be moved upward through
in-service job training and related
vocational courses, the training pro-
gram being developed in cooperation
with trade and technical schools.
Eight or ten week courses during this
| present summer, will call for utili-
| zation of existing plant and equip
ment facilities and the staffs of trade
schools both public and private.
Government Agencies
In addition, if funds are made
available for the voluntary" pro-
gram, CCC camp central repair shops
will furnish courses in major re-
pairs of motorized equipment, gen.
eral overhauling and rebuilding of
trucks and tractors and in the use
of shop tools and equipment.
The Apprenticeship Committee in
the Department of Labor is prepared
to provide a major expansion of its
work, according to the Defense Com
mission statement. It's work will be
coordinated with other voluntary pro-
grams of training in industry and the
schools.
The program as outlined will be
headed up BY Sidney Hillman, De-
