Anfi-Lubor Bills
Will Be Deferred
AFL Council Told
Green Confident Congress
Will Turn Down All
Such Measures

Washington, d. C.-William Green,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, reported to the Executive
Council as it launched its two-week
Spring meeting that organized labor
is confident it will succeed in prevail
ing upon Congress to defeat all pend
ing anti-labor bills, including the COM
pulsory work measure sponsored by
Representative Carl Vinson of Geor-
gia.
Mr.. Green told the council that six
recent attempts to cripple labor
through the device of attaching
amendments to appropriation bills had
been beaten, adding that he firmly be-
lieved the A. F. Of l.. view that enact
ment of anti-labor legislation would
hamper rather than expedite the de-
Tense program would continue to pre-
vail.
In this connection a full report was
given to the council on the recent ap-
pearances of Mr.. Green and Secretary
Treasurer George Meany before the
House Judiciary Committee and the
I1ouSe NuleS SoilllHiIIee, respectively
Testifying before these bodies, Mr..
Green and Mr.. Meany submitted evil
dence that the American Federation
of Labor unions have been cooperat-
ing wholeheartedly in the defense pro-
gram.

Trenton, \. IA special meeting
of Local Union No. 45 was called for
last Friday as we heard at the last
minute that representatives Of the
Union Labor Life Insurance Company
would be present to explain the new
proposition of casualty insurance
which they have drawn up in cooper
alton with our national brotherhood.
A large number turned out consid-
ering the short notice First Vice
President E. L. Wheatley introduced
Mr.. Francis White and Mr.. Collins
who went into the matter thoroughly
and answered all questions very salts
factorily. 1t was decided to acquaint
all our members with this proposition
by circulars which were left to be dis
tributed and give everyone an oppor-
tunity to air an opinion.
Brothers Richards and Cook were
reported back at work. We hear that
Brother Lefty Wilkie is home from
the hospital in Philadelphia where he
was operated On for double mastoids.
All others on the sick list are pro-
crossing favorably.
Vice President Zimmer reported
gains being made by Local Union No
40 which made rs feel good. We are
always glad to hear of the progress
of other locals.
We were given to understand that
when the 40-hour week came into force
pay checks would be distributed at our
benches, but we are sorry to say that
this has not been done.
The present system is very unsatis-
factory, especially in some parts Of the
plant. We hope that our company
will change it to the above, or plan
some way that our members will not
have to lose up to Is or 20 minutes
and have to put up with other indig-
mites.

USHA Defense Jobs
Show No Time LOST
As Result of Strikes
Cooperation Of Union Labor
Is Lduded By Strdus.
Administrator

Washington, D. c., QLNS).-Not a
single hours work has been lost in
the construction of United States
Housing Authority defense projects
due to strikes. Cooperation with
American Federation Of Labor build
ing trades unions, which have sup
ported the agency and its aims from
its beginning, is the reason.
The record Of no work stoppages,
Administrator Straus said, was not
accomplished through compulsion or
restrictive laws or by setting aside
hard-won industrial rights. "It was
made possible by methods of cooper
alton and mutual trust.
''In every case where it appeared
that dispute might arise, the unions
and the employers invoked the aid of
the USHA, to iron out each difficulty
by negotiation without a moments
interruption of the urgent work in
which the men were engaged" the
administrator declared.
Work Speeded Up
The work not only has been unin-
terrupted, Administrator Straus said,
but it has been speeded up. On the
very first defense project an agree
ment was made with local unions that
the work should be carried on by two
shifts, both working at regular pay.
Labor was asked to forego overtime
pay on the second shift and labor
agreed. Similar arrangements, back
ed by resolutions of local building
unions and building trades councils,
have been made in all parts of the
country. Some Of them provide for

BY HENRY AVEKILL
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,

Raleigh. June 4-Although forests
have been Il source OF reVenue in
North Carolina for almost 3V years
il is only within comparatively re-
cent years that Tar Heels, officials
md common folk, began to realize
Thai throughout these three centuries
the state has been Wantonly waste
full in the management of its forest
}eSOurceS.
Now that for the last several
decades the state has been forced to
adjust itself to utilization Of second
growth timber instead of the rich
accumulation of centuries, and now
tl.at a disastrous series of forest fires
has just destroyed a significant pro-
portion of the remaining timber,
there appears to be something of an
awakening.
The governor has stressed the dan
gers in the situation, and the De-
partment Of Conservation and De
Velopment has set aside this week to
put special emphasis on forestry
facts and figures.
1t is well; for while North Carolina
till holds a leading position in the
South in timber production there are
many things which must be done if
it is to hold this leading place.
State Forester J. S. Holmes, speak
ing from the wealth Of experience
gained in 33 years as head of the
states expanding forestry activities,
and other experts are unanimous in
pointing out that timber stands must
be cut so as to insure quick regenera-
ton, immature stands must be guard
ed against Wasteful cutting, under
stocked stands must be raised TO
higher productivity, and adequate
protection must be maintained.
The foresters declare these things
can be brought about only by ag-
greSSiVe and enlightened c%onserva-
ton leadership, a willingness on the
part of the timber land owner /"
forego some immediate gains for sus-
tanned future rcturnS and through
use of the best methods of handling
1imberlandS.
