A number of grievances were
brought to light at the meeting of
Local Union No. 25 last Thursday
evening. We are glad the brothers
brought them to the meeting, it being
the proper place for the airing of
problems, rather than on the street
corners.
Brother Elmer Carey's transfer

cepted, as he has been started as an
apprentice packer at Hall China Com

Brother Don Leyda won the three

Social Values To
Count In Awarding
Defense Confrucfs
Organized Plants Will Be
\ Freer From Strikes It
Is Thought

Washington, D. C. GLNS).-Chisel-
ing employers will have less chance
Of getting government business under
the new policy of negotiated contracts,
announced by President Roosevelt.
Under the old bid basis for awarding
contracts, price was the guiding fac
tor. Now social values will count.
One strong argument made by Sid
ney Hillman and the Labor Division
of the National Defense Advisory
Commission for negotiated contracts
as good defense policy is that con-
tracts made with plants which are or
ganized will be freer from strikes
than plants which are non-union.
Besides, negotiated contracts will
save time, lower costs, better utilize
skilled labor reservoirs, reduce the
speculative elements in government
contracts.
SO far the defense commission has
negotiated contracts only in the pro-
duction of aircraft, ships, tanks.
How far the negotiated contract
method will go in the future depends
upon developing situations-Army and
Navy needs, etc. Shoes and garments
may eventually be included.
In the building of ships, for instance,
any shipyard can get contract, re-
gardless Of labor policy. The same is
true in the manufacture Of armor
steel; three companies make it-Beth-
lehem, Midvale, and Carnegie-and
contracts have been placed without
reference to labor conditions, despite
labor objections. because every facility
is needed.

United States Seen Dumping
Ground For Foreign
Manufacturers

Every expert in the field of econ.
omics, as we'll as forward-lookine
business men weighing the future have
stated that the American workingmar
is headed for depression worse than
that experienced the past ten years al
the conclusion of the war now spread
ing to practically every part of the
globe.
Practically every country the rays
of the sun touches in it's daily rounds
with the one important exception of
the United States will be broken and
starving. The only solution the lead
ers of these destitute nations will see
will be the use Of America for dump
ing ground.
Goods will be produced for prac-
tically nothing to be shipped into this
country to sell below manufacturing
costs here to reap whatever good
United States dollars possible. Ameri-
can workmen will be completely out
of the picture and out Of jobs. This
does not apply to Japan only, but to
all nations because war is an extreme
ly costly game and there will be no
money in circulation except in the
United States.
With the apparent lack of foresight
in Washington, little aid can be as
sured from that quarter which leaves
only one solution-the "Buy Ameri-
can" movement.
During these times when waring
nations are too busy making NUM-
tions, planes and tanks to be extreme
ly dangerous in competition with our
manufacturers, it is exceedingly i'm
portant that we seize the opportunity
to advance the "Buy American" drive
to such point it will be second nature
for every American to demand goods
produced by fellow countrymen.
II is trucs that the times are ad-
vantageous to the cause. Sentiment
here is certainly against the low-wage
countries which have been the con-
slant offenders in taking jobs away

Increase Is Seen In
Weekly Checks For
.0hio's Unemployed
Probably Will Be Bcsed On
Highest Quarter OF
Earnings

Columbus, O.-Proposal that the
bulk Of Ohio unemployment benefits
be figured upon an average weekly
wage based upon the so-called highest
quarter Of earning, has been renewed
today by H. c. Atkinson, administra-
tor Of the Ohio Bureau of Unemploy-
ment Compensation.
The new benefit formula, which must
have the sanction Of the Independent
three member Board Of Review Of the
BUC before it can be made effective,
is somewhat similar to a proposal
made by the Ohio unemployment COM
pensation head last December. No
action approving or disappearing the
previous high quarter formula was
taken by the Board of Review at that
time. 1t was later withdrawn from
consideration.
Bureau officials said that, if ap-
proved, the new formula would in
crease the average weekly benefit
check from S1O.39 to approximately
S11.50. Ohio pays a maximum bene-
fit of Sl5 for period of 1G weeks
if unemployment continues.
Benefit calculations for persons on
salary or a fixed wage will not be af-
fected, the administrator said. This
group constitutes about % per cent Of
those who apply for benefits.
The new proposal suggests that in
all other cases, the workers average
weekly wage be determined by totaling
his earnings in the highest quarter of
the preceding year, dividing this
figure by the number Of weeks in
which the wages was earned.
The proposal Of last December was
that the average weekly wage be cal
culated as nine per cent Of the highest
quarters earnings, which roughly ap-
proXimated dividing the wages in
that quarter a. til'yS-sss. t1.c su4ltsS-
was made up of II weeks, instead
of 13.

Full Committee
Approves Report
Clearing Byoir
All Charges OF Un-Ameri-
con Activities Declared
Mistake

Washington, D. c. GLNS).-The
Committee on Un-American Activities
of the House has disposed of charges
against Carl Byoir, publicist, made by
Representative Wright Patman Of
Texas, by approving a report of a
sub committee fully generating ByOir.
The full committee, with Representa-
tive Joe Starnes presiding, has adopt
ed the following report;
On June 6 last this committee mi
tiated an investigation with respect
to allegations of un-American activ-
ity which has been made against Carl
Byoir, president of Carl Byoir and
Associates, by Wright Patman, a
Member of Congress, on the floor Of
the House of Representatives.
Sub Committee Named
The chairman of the committee,
Mr.. Dies, appointed Mr. Dempsey of
New Mexico, Mr.. Casey Of Massa-
chusetts and Mr.. Mason Of Illinois as
a subcommittee to investigate the
matter Competent Investigators of
this committee We're assigned to make
a thorough Investigation Of all of the
charges. At the same time the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation Of the
Department of Justice undertook
separate and independent investiga-
ton. On July IS, 1910, the Depart
ment of Justice issued the following
statement:
"The investigation concerning al
legations against Carl Byoir disclosed
no evidence whatsoever that he has
engaged in any un-American activity.
No basis for departmental action has
been found, and the case is regarded
as closed"
Previous Evidence Studied
The subcommittee also had for con-
sideration all of the evidence presented
before the Mccormack Committee with
respect to a contract made by Mr..
Byoir with the German Federal Rail-
roads for the promotion of trade and
travel in 1888, which was cancelled by
him in 1885 The committee does not
believe that it is within its province
to go behind the findings Of fact nor
the recommendation of the McCor-
mack Committee in this matter. The
committee, therefore, has confined it
self to events subsequent thereto. 1t
might be mentioned in this connection
that the evidence shows that the con-
tract was entered into for the pro-
motion of trade and travel at time

Washington, D. C. GLNS).-One
out of every three Americans is living
below the safety line" of proper diet,
a spokesman Of the National Defense
Advisory Commission declared in a
call to the nation to strengthen its
defensive powers by providing ade-
quate food for all.
Lets make America stronger by
making Americans stronger" said
Miss Harriet Elliott, consumer adviser
on the commission.
"Forty-five millions of as are living
below the safety line right now be-
cause we are not getting the kinds
and amounts of food necessary for
food and health" she said.
Hungry, undernourished people do
not make for strong Defense" Miss

duce and move and market all the food
we need to assure everyone an ade-
quate and safe diet. Let's get to work
to see that everyone gets at least

mers' Guide, Miss Elliott set forth
eight suggestions under which she
said groups and individuals could in
sure better diets for all.
l. A municipal radio market news
service so household buyers will know
each day what foods are good buys
and cheap.
2. A school lunch program to in
sure that every school child gets at
least one well-balanced and adequate
meal daily.
3. Work for low-cost ways Of SELL
ing milk, fruits and vegetables so low
income families can buy them in
greater abundance.
4. Establishment of diet clinics
where families can bring their food
buying problems and discuss them
with experts in nutrition and consumer
buying.
Food Stamp Plan Support
5. Support of the food stamp plan
now operating in $50 cities.
6. Learn, if you have the land, how
to grow the foods you cannot buy,
preserve the foods you cannot use i'm
mediately, and plan for balanced
meals throughout the year
7. Urge merchants to sell Govern
ment-graded foods, and urge con-
sumers to buy by grade so they will
get the quality they want for the
money they have to spend.
8. Know what your local, state, and
national governments are doing to

Honest Job Well
Filled Good For
Men And kufion
New Educational Concept
To Have Greet Effect On
School System

The man who finds an honest job
that he can fill we'll is bigger help
to himself and the nation as a whole
than the man who gets a "fancy"
white-collar job he isn't suited for,
educators everywhere have come to
realize
This new educational concept prom
ises to have far-reaching effects on
the American school system, for it
implies that something at last will
be done for the boy who has real
ability but can't find the job in which
he can use that ability. And that
problem affects all too many Of our
young people just starting out to
work.
For example, there was young Bill
White, who finished school one June
and began hunting job. Bill was a
healthy, intelligent boy with good
marks. He was rarin' to go.
But the going proved bad. Bill had
no clear idea what he wanted to do.
His father was carpenter, making a
good living at it, but he found the boy
wasn't handy with tools. Maybe Bill
would be business man. Bill rather
took to the idea; he envied slick, pros
porous old Martin Brown, who owned
the grocery on the corner. Bill would
own store himself some day. He
didn't know what kind of a store, or
very much care. "When you're hunt
ing for work, be willing to take any
thing you can get," he had been told.
He got job as errand boy in Browns
store because Brown liked his father.
But within a week Bill hated the
very smell of groceries. He was about
ready to quit when old Brown beat
him to it. Bill has held several short
time jobs since, and in between filled
any odd job he could pick up.
I Maybe some day Bill will have the
luck to find a job he is fitted for and
begin training from the bottom, per-
haps after years of lost time. But all
too often the Bill Whites are drifters
all their lives. What is almost as
bad, many of them get desperate and
hang on for dear life to some dead-end
job they can manage to hold out but
hate to the end. There is no surer
route to lifetime unhappiness.
How did it happen that Bill White
left school without knowing what kind
of work fitted him best, and without
having some special education for it ?
What are we going to do about it?

DICTATORS HIT
Grave Problems To Con.
front World At Conclusion
Of Present War

Boston, Mass.-The American Fed
Grafton of Labor joined hands with
the American Legion here in a united
stand for total defense of America
and in a joint condemnation of the
Nazi, Communist and Fascist dictators
Of Europe.
President William Green, of the A.
F. of L., in an address before the
American Legion convention which
was broadcast throughout the nation
over the Mutual System Network, de-
clared:
''In these critical days of world up
heaval it is imperative that those who
are devoted to the cause of democracy
and justice should stand together,
united against the common foe."
Mr.. Green pointed out that for
years the American Legion have been
in accord on these principles-the
preservation of our form of govern
ment, child welfare, establishment of
decent social and economic conditions
among the masses of the people and
opposition to subversive forces forces
He warned that when the war is
over the entire world will face grave
economic and social problems, and
added:
"The American Federation of La
Dor and the American Legion must be
ready to serve the nation then just
as we have tried to do through all
the years of our present relationship
and as we ought to do as organiza
tions made up of devoted citizens of
our great Republic"
Mr.. Green advocated all aid to
Great Britain, short of war. He said
that $50 long as the battle of Britain
is being fought, there will be no bat
tie of America"
In a fervent plea for maintenance
of labor's gains, Mr.. Green said:
"Let our social, economic and indus
trial gains be consolidated. Let US go
forward. We cannot include the words
retreat or backward steps in our
democratic vocabulary. We must not
impair or break the spirit Of the mass
es of the people by taking from them
gains which they secured at great cost
when, in their judgment, such action
is absolutely unnecessary. We cannot
lessen purchasing power, or unneces-
sarily engage in a speed-up system
which taxes the strength, power and
resourcefulness of labor beyond it's
