CHS statement follow:
"In this crucial hour, fraught with
grave consequences, the Executive
Council calls upon the members of the
American Federation of Labor to
reach new heights Of production and
to exemplify in daily service their de-
votion to our Government and their
determination to defeat tyranny, des-
potism and treachery throughout the
world. We must place Americanlsm
above and beyond every other consld-
Grafton.
at is the considered opinion of the
Executive Council that this objective
can be reached through full and COM
plete compliance with the following
stipulations:
a. That no. strike policy shall
be applied in all war and defense ma
terial production industries. This
means that all workers employed in
war and defense material industries
should voluntarily relinquish the ex-
ercise of the right to strike during the
continuation of the existing state OF
war except where mediation, concilia-
ton or arbitration is refused by en-
ployers.
"2. That a national agency similar
to the War Labor Board which func-
toned during the World War, be Gre
ated by Executive order for the pur-
pose of dealing promptly with griev-
ances, differences and complaints
which may arise between employers
and employees. Existing labor stabili-
zation agreements or understandings
and their administration shall in no
way be interfered with or be impaired.
SO. That through the utilization of
such agency mediation, Cancellation
and voluntary arbitration be substitut-
ed for strikes and lockouts in all war
and defense production industries.
"a. That the mediation and con-
ciliation service Of the Government be
strengthened and, if necessary, in
creased so that it may be made quick
ly available for use in the settlement
of grievances and disputes which may
arise.
"5. That due regard for the health
safety and welfare Of workers must
be accorded them if and when they
are called upon to work overtime or in
plants which may be placed upon a
double shift or continuous working
time basis. In all such situations the

Unions are urged to know the de-

a special meeting of the presidents of
all affiliated unions. At this meeting
General Brehon Somervell and Ad-
miral Ben Moreel outlined the Army
and Navy's construction needs and the
union officials pledged every effort to
more than meet all requirements.
A resolution was adopted both by
the meeting Of general presidents and
by the departments executive council
providing:
THAT there shall be no strikes for
any reason whatever on defense con-
struction projects and that all labor
disputes shall be settled by the con-
ciliation and arbitration machinery
set up under the departments stabili-
zation agreement with the Govern
ment.
2-That rules and regulations with
reference to practice and custom be
waived when necessary to make pos
sible the employment of building
tradesmen with general construction
experience, rather than to take in in
experienced men and that regulations
regarding apprentice time serving be
suspended for the emergency to per-
nit qualified apprentices to do jour
neymen's work.
3-That every effort be made to
supply adequate numbers of skilled
workers on all projects, even when
two or three-shift employment on a
seven-day week basis is necessary.
1--WE dedicate ourselves to do every
thing possible to aid in the defense OF
our country" said the resolution.

I PRAY every night that our
President does not convoy our

that the taxpayers or the voters
of this country should be con-
cerned as the American people,

the ones that sacrifice every
thing.
There is always some one TAX

or China, or the Red Cross, and
the first place they call on is
America.
And now the British start
war and can't finish it and they
have to come 10 America again
for practically everything that
is needed.
Now they want us TO take our
boats and bring the stuff to them.
And they are looking forward
for our boys to go and fight and
die for the war they started. We
never got anything for the last
war we helped with; we were
told that we should OF stayed
