A campaign to broaden organ
ization of the aircraft industry
was announced this week by the
International Association of Ma

sive bargaining agreements at
some of the nations biggest
plane plants, including Boeing in

bank, Calf; Beech Aircraft in
Wichita, Kan, and many others.
"Our union is the only organi-

L. as having jurisdiction over
aircraft mechanics and we have
more members working in the in
dustry than all other indepen-
dent unions combined" President
Harvey w. Brown declared.
"To keep pace with the tremem-
dous stimulus which the air
craft industry has been given by
foreign orders and our national

.AFL Will Follow Non-Partisan Policy
In Presidential Campaign, Says Green

The American Federation
of Labor will follow its ira
ditiOnaI nOn-partisan pOlit-
cal policy in the coming
Presto d e n ial campaign,
President William Green
told the convention of the
Brotherhood of Railway
Maintenance of Way En-
plOyes.
Mr.. Green said the Federation
would vote for its friends and
against it's enemies" policy
which has made the organization
politically powerful.
The federation favors all aid
to Britain "short of war;" and is
behind the United States prepar-
edness drive, he said, adding that
the organization was calling on
the government to find work for
the unemployed under present
work standards" with no lower
ing of standards until all the
unemployed are absorbed.
Referring to the international
situation, Mr.. Green said:
'The Dark Ages fade before
today's savagery. 1t is the
blackest of black spots upon the
policies of these totalitarian gov
ernments and we who believe in
democracy protest.
"We wonder why all these
forces of destruction have been
turned loose on mankind, for
we have been taught for the last
$500 years that life is sacred"
If any dictator attacks the
North American Continent, be it
Canada or the United States,
1--WE declare it part of our phil
osophy that we will stand to-
gether to fight" he continued.
"We have established demo-
cracy here. We are living in
peace. In fact, nobody can find
the line which divides Canada
and the United States and we
are determined to preserve lib
erty and fraternity on this con-
tinent even if it means the CIV
ing of our lives"
Mr.. Green said the A. F. of L.
wanted to see the democracies of
the world give to Great Britain
aid "any where, any time, in the
effort that that country now is
making to preserve democracy"
Turning to the labor picture in
the United States, Mr.. Green de-
clared that John l.. Lewis of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions was Standing in the way"
of an agreement between the two
labor organizations.
The formation of the G. /. O.,
"rebel in character and rival in
purpose" he said, once cost the
federation 100000 members,
but now the A. F. of L. has A.
100000 members, the greatest
number in it's history.
The rank and file of "the re-
bel movement" were "crying
and begging for settlement" of
differences, he said. AS far as
the A. F. of L. was concerned,
"the door is open, but Lewis is
standing in the way"

UNIONS APPEAL
TO MANHOOD

Trade Unions insist that work
ers have the right to a voice in
determining the conditions under
which they shall give service.
They assert that as employers
have the right to promote oppor-
tunities to develop and expand
their business and profits in a
legitimate way, workers have
equally the right to promote op-
portunities for their self-better-
ment and the advancement of
their welfare. They appeal to
the manhood and womanhood of
workers to combine in trade
Unions to deal with their prob
lens in an orderly and construc-
tive way.-Frank Morrison.

10 PANACEA FOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS

One of national characteristics seems to be that nothing numerically small be of any con- sequence Only when anything in America runs up into big figures does it become important Be- of this twist in nature sometimes are negligent when should be most alert. Thus 1t has been with the motor car, and motor car accidents
 Traffic accidents could have been foreseen the minute a six-mie- -an-hour man got into the drivers seat of 30-mile-a hour car on 10-mie- n-hour road They could have been foreseen as an Amer- can Tragedy by the time we had a million on our then wholly inadequate highways. But the numbers not big enough It not until we had more than 25,O00,000 motor vehicles on the streets and highways of the country and were re- cording deaths from automobiles of close to 10000 a year, that traffic accidents were brought into sharp focus.
 A second characteristic so typically American, is that we ike problem Just the minute anything becomes important enough to be labelled as' Prob em we have scores yes hundreds, ready to solve And every problem solver has his Panacea Since the traffic accident problem assumed major status, there have been volunteer salety experts One dose guaranteed to cure" To some Speed or the control of speed-is the only answer. To others, the driver who is so cautious that he pedes traffic is the source of all troubles To still others, the drunken driver is the one and elusive villain of the piece Some demand signs others less; some want traffic lights others more laws.
 Those who have now undertaken serious study of the problem in all its ramifications know there is one answer, no che solution. To catch up with situation which has grown faster than ability to cope with it requires much skill and patient research along many fronts.

 There has never been any to believe that a nation of few million people could prevail against adversary many times its size, unless it had as- sistance from it's friends The very courage of the Films has tended to conceal this fact Nothing can conceal it any longer.
 An enemy that can use it's overwhelming superb ority in the air to cripple lines of communication; an enemy that can throw literally hundreds of thousands of shells against short front in single day; enemy that bring up wave of fresh troops from an almost inexhaustibe stock of manpower: such enemy cannot be held back forever
 It is typical of the Films that after losing the first ouposts of the only line that stands be- tween them and destruction, they fight gallanty But the Russians have served notice Of the pre-emptive force of numbers.

To the bravery of their own troops they have responded with quiet sacrifice To the cheap taunts and the vicious slander of the Kremlin they have replied with dignity To the outside world they have given example of de- mocracy as every democrat must hope to find it in the hour of it's trial: resourcefuI self-relant generous, determined The example humbes those who are forced to wonder whether their own faith could meet this cruel test
