deep breaths of the deadly gas.

PEACE on EARTH

In this war crazed world of ours today, the thoughts
of every worker must be devoted to extending every effort
to protect our nation. Some day, however, Peace will come.
What lies in the future for Labor when Peace
comes to the world again? What will the position of
the workers be, when this struggle for survival is
ended?
Let us bear IN mind the repercussions from World
War j, and their disastrous results. Labor must make a
determined effort IN the interests OF avoiding a repetition
of the tragic times OF the post Dar depressions!
There is an answer! Organization, and consoli-
dalton of that unity, will impress upon the minds of
Capital the sincerity of the worker!
Victory will come, and with that victory, a
firmer spirit of fraternity and cooperation between
management and worker. AS we are united in the
face of the perils from without our nation, SO will we
face the future dangers from within!
In the mean time, ue must produce! Production for
safety! Production in the name of defense of America!
Every American man, u1oman, and child, a1u be
called upon to do his or her bit in the cause of selt-preserva-
ton!
This is our country! 1t has been a long, hard
struggle to build these United States!
Let us prove to the world that the results are
worth the sacrifice!
