Washington, D. C.-Assistant Sec

announced that the War Department
will follow a progressive, sympathetic
and cooperative policy toward labor
in the defense program.
His highly significant statement
was interpreted as a rebuke to high
handed Army officials who in some
instances conditions to union labor
and even to seek the employment of
non-union labor.
Mr.. Patterson's statement of policy
follows in part:
"Just and equitable treatment of
labor, the maintenance of existing
standards for workers on defense
projects, and sympathetic understand
ing by the Service of the problems
and aspirations of American labor
organized and unorganized, are es-
sential to the success Of the defense

American workers are intensely pa

Buffalo, N. Y.-Again Local Union
No. 76 can boast of having a record
attendance at the last meeting. 1t
was bitter cold night with plenty
of snow flying, but the members didn't
let little thing like that prevent
them from being on hand.
Members Of the shop committee
gave quite lengthy report which
shows they have been kept quite busy
the past several weeks. They have
made quite few satisfactory settle
ments and the members thank them
for their good work.
Carl Snider, batterout, was rein
stated. Two young ladies, busters in
the print shop, were taken into the To-
cal and their names placed on the roll.
Davey Meeks, former foreman Of the
warehouse, has accepted a job in that
department and turned his honorary
membership card back in and his name
has been placed in the local file. Glad
to have you back with US again,
Davey, and hope to see your smiling
face at the meetings.
A large number of the members
asked to be excused in order to attend
the card party being held at the home
of Sister Donavon. Were you there?
If you were not then you certainly
missed a good time. Congratulations
to the committee for their splendid
work. Brother Carl Heintz, chairman
of the committee, Brother Louie
Sykes and Brother John Urban sure
showed their stuff when it came time
to sling the glasses Of that cool re-
freshing liquid SO badly needed to
quench ones thirst.
Sister Waddington did very good
job in making the boys and girls kick
in with their hard earned nickels for
tickets. Helen says, "No nickels, no
tickets, therefore no beer" Sister
Donavon and her co-helpers handled
the cards, lunch and coffee in perfect
order. At 1880 Brother John Urban
and friend of his, an accordian play
er, let go with some classy dance tunes
and it was a sight for sore eyes and
a real treat to watch some Of those

Lewis Resignation
Demanded By CIO
Fallen Chief Is Scorned and
Derided By Groups In
Organization

Washington, D. C.-An avalanche
Of ridicule derision and indignation
was heaped upon John L. Lewis from
all quarters, including the member
ship and organization of the CIO, in
the wake of the national elections.
Newspaper cartoons throughout the
nation pictured him as an ex-dictator
out on a limb with President Roose-
welt saving off the limb. Editorials
from the liberal as we'll as the con-
servative press condemned his stand
and forecast his inglorious exit from
the labor scene.
Two State CIO councils-New York
and Massachusetts adopted resolu-
tions demanding Lewis resignation
and urging the CIO to make every
possible effort to seek labor peace with
the American Federation of Labor.
The New York State CIO Council
said:
"The reputation by the American
people in so overwhelming a manner
of the political leadership of Presi-
dent Lewis makes impossible fruit
full prosecution by him of his part as
leader of industrially organized labor
and his resignation is therefore i'm
perative."
Attempts to keep Lewis in office
were made by several Communist
dominated CIO unions but appeared
doomed to failure One local of the
United Retail and Wholesale En-
ployes in New York joined the phony
draft Lewis" drive Of the Commu-
nists but was Immediately rebuked by
President Meyer Winokur of the
unions joint council in New York,
who said:
at hasn't the blessing of this office
and it cannot be construed as having
our support"
President Joseph A. Salerno of the
Massachusetts CIO Industrial Coun-
Gil announced in Boston that this or
ganization has voted to demand the
resignation of Lewis.

Conventions
By Delegates James NJ. Duffy, E. l..
Wheatley, John d. McGillivray and
Dales Allison.

New Orleans, La.-Everything is
all set here for the opening Of the
Goth annual convention Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor which prom
ises to be one Of the most momen-
tous conclaves in the history Of or
ganized labor.
More than 600 delegates and thous-
ands of friends and visitors have ar
rived here and will be on hand in the
New Orleans Municipal Auditorium on
the morning of Nov. IS when Presi-
dent William Green raps his gavel to
signalize that the proceedings are un-
der way.
With the membership Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor at the high
est point in history, with its ranks
united as never before, with its pres
tige in national affairs unchallenged
and with its elected representatives
full of confidence and imbued with
the victory spirit, the convention
meets this year under highly auspic-
ious circumstances.
The most important business be-
fore the convention will be the de-
termination of policy and program
for labor cooperation with Govern
ment and industry in the national de-
fense program.
1t is confidently expected that the
American Federation of Labor will
demonstrate conyincingly to the coun-
try that American workers are ready
to pitch in with everything they've
got to help preserve America as a
free, democratic nation.
Without question, the convention
will take strong stand against Com
munism, Nazism, Fascism and other
foreign ideologies hostile to democ-
racy. 1t is expected to indorse the
Governments foreign policy, espec-
tally with regard to extending the
fullest possible aid to Great Britain
short of war.
The second great problem facing
the convention is the issue Of labor
peace. AS a step toward natlonaI
unity, the convention will undoubted-
ly go on record, as previous conven-
tions have done, to empower A. +.
of L. officials to negotiate a settle
ment with the CIO.
President Roosevelt is planning to
send message to the convention ano
he may take advantage Of the oppor,
tunity to renew his plea for a re-
united labor movement. The 1895
convention responded unanimously tc
the Presidents appeal by declaring
that the A. F. of l.. peace committee
would be ready to meet and negotiate
with CIO Representatives at any time
and any place.

vention, President Green will deliver
his keynote address in which he viii

CHAPTER XIV

Steve laughed exultantly, acceler-
ating his speed, lodging In and out
Of traffic at a terrific rate. Another
siren took up the chase. Ann silently
hung on.
At last q squad car came along
side and Steve reluctantly pulled
over to the curb. He was still
laughing. An officer came to the
window.
so It's you, Claybourne," he
growled. II thought SO. Up to
your old tricks. What's the alibi
this timer
The lady is SICK Steve ex-
planned. I'm getting her to the
nearest hospital" He nudged Ann,
who was petrif1ed with fear.
Cough for the captain, dear"
The officer had been leaning,
head and shoulders in the car.
'Driving while intoxicated" he
said grimly. 49,,
"What did I have for dinner?"
Steve wanted to know.
"Get along to the station and no
funny business" the law COM
manded.
Ann had been crouching in the
seat. At this point she leaned
across Steve. I'm not intoxicated,
officer" she said, close to his face.
I haven't had drink"
"What are you doing with Steve
Claybourne?'
HE offered to take me home.
Please-if you'll let me drive, III
be careful
"Vhat a pal" steve muttered.
Ann had the feeling that his in
toxication was more an act than
q reality. He would very likely
put the experience down under
the heading of fun.
The officer laughed good ma
turedly. "Can't do 1t. young lady"
he said. The boys down at the
station would miss this friend OF
yours If he didn't show up about
once a week. However, I have
nothing against you. Get out If
you want to-
Ann hesitated. It didn't seem
quite sporting to leave Steve when
he was in trouble. He settled the
matter for her. Pushing out OF
the car door past the officer, ne
hailed q cruising cab, tossed bill
to the driver, and opened the door
Your carriage waits, Ann" he
announced.
Driving away from the scene, she
laughed. She couldn't help 1t. What
would have been disaster OF the
worst magnitude to her, an arrest,
was all in the nights work for Steve
He'd pay a fine and 60 merrily on
his way. That was the advantage OF
having money. You needn't worry
about every little thing.
Thinking of worrying, AIMS
mind reverted to Clara. Perhaps
she should have stayed and
looked after Clara. The poor little
fool. Why had she insisted on re-
naming? For their own part, Ann
decided to profit by the evenings
experience. If she didn't, 1t was
her own fault.
Her cab was joined by another
as they turned into Murray street.
