MORALE SALVATION

There's a building, recently completed, at the Canadian military post at Nanaimo B. C., which you might take a look at next time you're passing through the Vancouver Island city
 It's of the most recent Red Shield Centers, built by the Salvation Army at cost of $3OOOo, and boosting auditorium which seats 900.
 In this new building, the Tommies will attend motion picture shows concerts lectures stage plays, vaudeville shows, and of course religious services But in the new center they will also play games, read books and magazines, find a canteen where they can buy cigarettes, candy and other items at nominal prices be furnished writing materials, and treated to host Of other homelike conveniences.
 Because it is the Canadian Red Shield Center nearest Juneau, this Nanaimo head quarters example There 109 other big centers like it throughout Canada, serving the soldiers sailors and airmen of Canadas fighting forces
 If you want first-hand description of the way these Salvation Army men welcomed by the boys in uniform just talk with Col Frank Ham, field secretary for the religious organization, now in Juneau attending the annual Salvation Army Con- gress here.
 Col Ham has been on the firing line of salva- ton Army activity in Canada since the war first started in September two years ago He has travelled the sentry line at army camps stormy nights, riding in Salvation Army mobile canteen and pass ing out hot coffee to the boys duty stopping to chat with them and playing a portable radio to entertain them for few minutes during the night. He has helped the Salvation Army women workers press suits for the Canadian boys when they were going furloughs. He has watched reunions of the men and their families at Salvation Army hostess houses, maintained near army camps He has seen them on leave staying at Salvation Army

MONDAY, NOVEMBER "A

Good aspects balance with ad- verse in the horoscope for today. The morning is most promising for constructive work and fortu- nate for the Army. There is an evil omen presaging bad news re- gafding the Navy.
 HEART AND HOME: As enter tainment for relatives and friends absorbs attention in the household and the holiday milestone reminds families of losses within the year, the importance of making will should be felt by parents. There is a sign read as foreshadoWing much delay in the settling of es- tates and confusion in the matter of taxes. War brings death as q close neighbor to the young and it also has it's effect in abridging the lives of older persons. The stars which presage immense social changes carry warnings to safe- guard every member of a family.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: As l941 draws toward it's closing month prosperity will be enjoyed far and near in the United States. Wage eamers will improve their living conditions and will be generous

hostels, in all principal Canadian cities. He has gravely shaken hands with them and bid them "So long they boarded transports for the trip across the Atlantic to Britain and active duty.
 You Salvation Army men think of everything, " Lord Tweedsmuir complimented Col. Ham on an inspection trip around Eastern Canada camp.
 And that's exactly what we try to do," Col, Ham declares
 A study of exactly what sort of thing has tram spired at these Red Shield Centers from the out break of the until the first of September of this year is interesting. The reports from the soldiers headquarters show for instance, that total of 5328 motion picture performances have been pre- sented to the service men, and total of 723859 recreational events both indoor and outdoor games, have been staged, while only 2,841 religious services have been held
 The report shows thousands of books, magazines and newspapers made available to the service men, while 25733362 pieces of writing ma teria have been distributed to homesick anxious to write to families and friends. About hundred thousand members of families of service men have used the Salvation Army hostess house accommoda- tions camps to visit with their men folks in uniform, while hundreds of thousands of service have avaled themselves of the hosels in key cities for living accommodations while on leave.
 These mobile canteens, with their radios stores of candy and tobaccos, hot coffee and other forts something which finding much favor at camps, Col Ham explains. By special per mission, they operate right in the camps making it unnecessary for the to go "out of bounds to obtain common needs They are in way, mech anized service for soldiers and the Salvation Armys way of keeping pace with the new mechanized warfare.
 Sherman is supposed to have said that, War is Hell" and must agree But can also agree that the Salvation Army in Canada is doing all it can to make it agreeable Hell possible.

buyers. Trade and commerce this week should be active, but some extraordinary economic offensive by Hitler will be met. In the war the battle to gain needed oil and metals necessary for mechanized conflict will overshadow all other struggles.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Recreation problems will become pressing at training camps for men in uni form. The seers stress the impor- tance of avoiding well-meant lec- lures and other cultural projects when music and light amusements make strong appeal to young folk. The stars presage deep interest in serious subjects, but there must be voluntary choice regarding re- ligious or philosophical enlighten- ment. The quest of occult know ledge will be keen by many, for the stars forecast many amazing incidents that reveal the nearness of the next plane of consciousness.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS According to the Geopolitical h. stitute, Germanys original war plan aimed at the encirclement of the Atlantic Ocean by progressive conquests. Hitler'S horoscope syn- chronizes with that plan. With the beginning of the new cycle next May the Institute will have ceased to exist and better indications are forecast. In the new cycle there will be great stress and there may be attempts to misuse the hidden forces of the mind which will be better understood than in the past.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of much good fortune, if caution guards against sharp practices which will be more common than in previous months.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be successful and popu- lar. Ambitious and determined, they may seek adventure. They will be stable in their affections.

ROOSEVELT SAVED LEWIS

In 1883, however, John Lewis was very near the brink The depres- sion had closed mine after mine. Almost half his miners were out of work. Non-union miners had taken over great areas And his treasury was almost flat.
 The story of how Roosevelt saved him, and adopted a liberal labor program, is too well known to need retelling here. And with that new surge of power, John L.'s old egoism scared to fuller and greater heights He was crusading for labor, it was true; but it was a personalized cru- sade which was wrapped up in the glorification of one man.
 The fact that John L. bought out the University Club in Washington and transformed 1t into a wood panelled sancum as ornate as any big business office along Wall Street was relatively unimportant. It in- dicated however, his personalized rule over the miners. The United Mine Workers always had been a one man machine, but now John l. reached out and built up the CIO And the CIO became a one man machine
 For instance, when Carl Holder man, head of the New Jersey CIO fired a suspected Communist, the

LEWIS,S CIO EMPIRE

This is one thing the miners have not liked. However, they have not known much about it. They have not known in any detail, for instance, that Their John" has used miners funds to organize other unions. Probably they did not know that he financed a man to operate inside the Newspaper Guild, union far removed from the coal industry.
 This was how John L. continued his great personalized power. He maintains it also by playing close to his district coal leaders. They eat out of his hand And he feeds them we'll
 Not many miners knew it, but shortly before the present strike was called, Lewis summoned his district presidents and gave them an unexpected and handsome boost in salary, from $6,000 to 10000 a year. With the boost, Lewis warned that he would expect them 1 to collect the increased dues and see that the men stood behind the expected strike in the captive mines.
 These district presidents are the men who keep the miners in line locally, and operate Lewis's personal machine. And with lush pap fed from the hand of their master, they seldom fail to do his bidding.
 John L. has other means of keep ing his glorified ego in the drivers seat. One is elections. When it is announced to the press that the miners have voted to stand behind John L. Lewis, it does not nec- essarily mean that the great mass of miners have voted. It usually means that little group of hand l picked Lewisites at the top have carried out orders.
 Elections in the United States of America have come to be sacred mandate. jealously guarded. Even inside big corporations today there is supervision of elections. Many state laws require that when a cor

Rhetoric to Brass Tacks
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

(CleVeand Plain Deaer)
 It is not a day too soon to start coordinating the defense industries of the United States and Can- ada Cooperative efforts started at the Ogdensburg conference in August, 1940, have now been reduced from rhetoric to brass tacks. The two North Ameri- can nations have appointed a Joint Defense Pro- duction Committee to get down to details
 Out of that conference grew the Permanent Joint Board of Defense, the Joint Materials Coordn ating Committee and the Joint Economic Committee. These groups have dealt with general policies. They have given direction but it is doubtful how much they have actually accomplished by way of material contributions toward winning the
 The Joint Defense Production Committee will provide the other nation with the defense ar tcles which it is best able to produce and above a to produce quickly" This means that American ammunition will be made to fit Canadian produced cannon
 This standardization of production is of the high est importance not only in the current struggle wherein President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Mackenzie King promised speedy aid to Russia, but in the long range realization that in the defense of the North American continent, should that ever be- come necessary, Canada and the United States will have to operate nation.

NO INSPECTION OF BOOKS

But the voting in John L. Lewis's powerful organization is above state or federal regulation. There is no public supervision to see now the vote is taken.
 Likewise there is no outside su- pervision of John L. Lewiss books The books of Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated Clothing Work CTS, or of David Dubinsky's Inter- national Ladies Garment Workers. are subject to inspection. Every telegram and stamp is accounted for. But. no outsider, except his immediate friends and family, can tell for what strikes John L. spends the United Mine Workers money.
 Today, the head of every big in- surance company is subject to state and government regulation. So are the banks. They are semi-public institutions. The funds and fate of many people are involved. The Unions also are great public in- StitutionS. John L. Lewis has at his command an army three times the normal peace time army of the United States. The U S. army is subjected to the strictest supervi- sion from the War Department. Everything 1t does, every cent it spends is checked and double checked not only by trained public servants, but by both houses of Congress.
 But John L. Lewis has a private army of his own, subject only to his command and drilled by the little group of district presidents whose salaries he so conveniently raised.
 The Congress of the United States is subject to reelection every two and six years. The President can be turned out every four years. But John L. Lewis has been in of- flee around twenty years, and no miners group has had the power to ouSt him.
 In other words, the CIO Car, who calls Roosevelt dictator, him. self has dictatorial powers which no other one man in this country can equal. He has the power to stall national defense He has the power to play into the hands of Hitler. And most tragic of all he has the power to cruelty the pa- triotism and progress of the work ingmen whose champion he is SUD- posed to be.
 As result, all of the labor gains made under Roosevelt may now vanish on the wave of Lewis's re- calcitrance.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-11-22

legislatures passed the labor laws he demanded.
 In the mythology was certain core of truth. John L. Lewis got what he wanted by letting no man stand in his way, and he gloried in that reputation.
 Furthermore, he was fig tin g mine owners who were just as the wage level in an industry tough as he, and frequently more ruthless; men who were culling the cream of the country's coal with cut regard to the future; men who would rather see entire cities cave in than spend money on mine props; men who made the green hills of Pennsylvania and West Virginia dreary and desolate with piles of black waste.
 It took a tough man to fight for the miners in those days and John L. Lewis was equal to it. He lifted which desperately needed lifting, and the miners have been forever grateful.
