do not, compare the blessings we are
enjoying this very minute right here
in this very room with those any
other country in the world has to off
cr. While we are gathered here in
a great body with great advance
publicity, there are few places across
the seas where men may gather even
in the smallest groups without arous-
ing suspicion.
"While we speak freely, and indeed
| am speaking freely to you today,
others must paddock their lips or
whisper in guarded tones.
"While lights may brighten these
walls, others live in the darkness, the
tragedy of the blackout.
"While we breathe Gods own pure
air, others are adjusting their gas
masks. While we live peacefully
among ourselves, others stand day by
day in increasing terror of their near
est neighbors. While we may dial
our radio to any program anywhere
in the world, others must deafen their
ears to the outside and listen only to
the voice Of the sclf-appointed mas
ter. While we may think and say
what we please, the lives of others
are circumscribed to the minutest de-
tail
"Here in America each Of US is still
free to live his own life in his own
way so long as he doesn't encroach
upon the similar rights Of others. In
Europe there may be indeed even a
stigma attached to class origin which
may taint the life Of whole family
even whole people. Here in Amer
lea men are measured by their own
conduct

boys. We are glad to have these boys
with us and hope they display a more
active interest in the organization
than the previous group of boys have.
We near the end of the year with
a fine set up in our dues. Most men,
bers are paid up, and we hope those
who are in arrears will find it pos
sible to pay up before the yearly
audit. The auditing committee will
meet to check the funds of the sick
benefit club on Tuesday evening and
your checks will come to you with
the twenty-frst pay. We feel we have
done a fine job with the club this
year in view of the amount of illness
and operations paid out of the fund.
We are indeed fortunate we were able
to meet the obligations and not have
to assess the membership. We will
have some money in the bank, but it
won't touch last years dividend.

Labor has been-and is-cooperating
wholeheartedly throughout the entire
defense effort.
"Until very recently no single Sc
rious interruption of production in
defense industries had occurred; and
then only two such work-stoppages
took place-the first lasting six work
ing days and the second four days.
"This record is ample evidence that
labor recognizes the Importance of
continuous production to meet de-
fense needs. Labor again reaffirms
its assurance of cooperation with the
national defense program and further
pledges itself to take no action which
may in any way impede production
before all conciliation facilities of the
Federal government for resolving any
existing controversy have been ex-
hausted."
This statement failed to point out
that the two strikes affecting the de-
tense program involved ClO unions
and that there has not been single
strike by any American Federation
of Labor union which has impeded
the Governments preparedness eff
forts.
Most of the crackpot suggestions
from anti-labor spokesman were ann.
ed at depriving labor of the right tc
strike A prompt survey by the
American Federation of Labor's legls
lative bureau showed that such E
proposal could command only hand
full of votes in Congress and thai
sent iment was overWhelmlngl
against it.
Administration leaders emphasized
that it would be folly to sacrifice the
: democratic rights Of labor as the frs
b step in a program designed to safe
guard American democracy.
Government representatives iron
every Federal agency involved in the
national defense program emphasized
that the record of cooperation OF The
American Federation Of Labor ant
its affiliated unions has been lOO PEI
cent.
The policy Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor was clearly enunciatet
at the recent Goth annual convention
in New Orleans which unanlmousl!
adopted resolutions pledging full an'
sincere support Of the defense pro
gram, even if such support entails
strict self-discipline and importan
sacrifices.
However, the ClO Vultec strike OF
the West Coast, which Attorney Gen
eral Jackson attributed partly t.
Communist Vaccinations, and othe
similar developments in the ClO cam
have given anti-labor groups an ex
cuse to pounce on all of organize
labor with unrestrained attacks.
Fortunately the Administration i
completely out Of sympathy wit
these anti-labor forces and the fey
supporters Of anti-strke laws wi
find themselves out in the cold.

The War Department, besides re-
curing strict observance of union
conditions, also gives workmen this
further protection, also a benefit from
organized labor:
"The contractor shall maintain at
all times adequate employees liability
or Workmen's compensation insurance
for all mechanics and laborers."
These instructions to construction
quartermasters on all defense prof.
ects insures that employees engaged
on this work will enjoy all the bene-
fits of union coydiipns and wages and
is one of the reasons why nonunion
workmen are flocking to defense work
by the thousands and is causing non
union builders to moan about short

1t was during the night of Sep
temher 19 that we hit camp after an
all days journey which started at
4 a. m. and there were no lights in
the buildings, but temporary ar
rangements were made for housing
of the men in old CCC buildings
where we stayed for about a week
or ten days after which time we
moved into canvas tents. The tents
have wooden floors and side walls
with Sibley tent stove for heat.
Here conditions were much better
because the battery has its own mess
hall and all the men can eat much
quicker and do not have to stand in
the cold weather and rain awaiting

In our present camp we have
lights and heat but as yet the lat

of the firemen discussed the service
in their own company and then we're
of the opinion that the service ought
to be free. The committee informed
the delegates this was nor possible
on account of a ruling of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. An
other public utility was criticized
because fire alarm sirens and lights
in fire houses had been hooked up
to meters instead of being free SER

favored a resolution that would con-

matter direct to the federal author

Alarmed But Not Frightened

When Germany. Italy, and Japan
signed a treaty of alliance, the pur-
pose was perfectly obvious, and il
was to frighten the United States
They hoped our people might be SO
thoroughly scared that they would
stop doing anything to aid Britain.
If Hitler wanted to attack the Uni
ted States, the extent to which aid
has already been given to Britain
would give him an excuse. The fact
that neither he nor Japan has COM
mitted any hostile act against the
United States, indicates that they do
not dare do so, at least not now.
Instead of frightening the United
States, this three power agreement
has simply alarmed this country.
There is a big difference between
being frightened and being alarmed |
A man is alarmed by the smell of
smoke that may indicate his house |
is on fire. His alarm does not stop
him from trying to put the fire out
if such a blaze has started. He needs
to be alarmed, and to get busy, and
the alarm saves him from danger
and induces him to act to ward off
the peril. If he finds the house
afre and is thoroughly frightened,
he might faint away and be able to
do nothing.
The three Axis powers hoped to
so frighten Uncle Samuel that he
would be paralyzed with fear, and
be unable to do anything to help the
Axis enemies. However, they only
succeeded in alarming him. Instead
of being paralyzed with fear, he is
taking steps to protect himself. One
of the things done is to advise Am
ericans living in Japan, China, ETC.,
to get out and come home. That
seems to come as rather a shock to !
Japan.
The American people don't want to !
get into any war, and they see no +
need for it. 1t has never yet been ]
possible to bluff them, or scare them I
away from action they feel neces-
sary. They are the descendants Of ;
people who took great risks in COM /
ng to this country, and they are not s
going to act as towards.
