The companies have admitted
that the fingerprinting of en-
ployees is entirely optional. The
Federal Bureau of Investigation
has said that such proceedings are
a matter for negotiation between
the companies and the union.
Therefore the union takes the
stand that until this procedure
has become a part of the law of
our land, we advise our members
not to submit to fingerprinting.
We feel that the photograph is
Identification enough.
The filing of employees pringer-
prints makes the danger of a Ma
tional Blacklist too easily done.
We do not state this to be a posi-
tive fact. We merely point out
to our members that they face the
possibility of permanent unem-
ployment in the event they quit
the service of the company by
which they are employed.

Plans for Immediately extending
the program of the American
Peace Mobilization into as many
neighborhood, church, labor and
civic groups were adopted. This
meeting and the organization of
the Dayton Council are the result
of the attendance of a sizeable
Dayton delegation to the Amer
lean Peoples Meeting held in New
York, April 5th and 9Th, at which
time a broad, nationwide pro-
gram was outlined for a fight
against war.
The Dayton Council of the APM
and its affiliated groups will take
up all of the many problems aris-
ing out of a period of war hysteria
such as anti-labor legislation, poor
housing facilities, the rising cost
of living, equal right for Negroes,
protection of the rights of draftees,
as well as pressure against Con-
gressmen against entering the
shooting stage of the war.

thousand years ago, q great
teacher stated a principle for
men to live by: Love thy neigh

in that principle, and we are no
different from the rest of our

And yet the gruesome para

today violence is raging. Men
are pitted against other men in
violent strife. Yet those very

and war. Who can deny it? Who
can say that the German bomb

that he does not bomb q part of

No, we hate war and violence

MANUFACTURERS ATTEMPT
TO LOWER STANDARDS

For many months the government and the press haze
been zealously rousing the people of the country on the
danger of foreign attack and the need for national defense.
The most persistent theme of the press is the need for
national unity. Fortunately for all of aus there are teDo con-
ceptions of the words defense and unity.
Not threats O. violence nor false propaganda shall swerve the
American people from their firm determination to fight for their
peace, security, and standards of living. These standards ae now
threatened from within by the warmongers who would reduce our
working people to virtual slavery by laws which chain the very
principles upon which our democracy is founded.
Even noD legislation is under consideration ,Ohich
aUouId not only abolish the right to strike bat giue the
employers the right to rernoUe any "subversive individuals
from plants containing eDen the slightest armament orders
The term "subuersive Individuals" meaning any soorking
man or apoman a1ho refuses to attoto their standards OF
IiDing to be loaoered so that corporations may reap a ire
mendous profit.
Forgotten m the ten million trade unionists who have earned
their rights the hard way and a whole broad land full of people
who are surer and stronger than at any time i'm history. This shall
not be. The common people built this great nation and shall main
tain it against all enemies, both within and without.

Germany cannot win this war as
long as she is confined to contin-
entail Europe which is subject to
attack from back country areae

Even though she is tightly or

to conquer France in the last war. -

Rayburn felt that Britain would
not be able to stop the German
invasion in Egypt. that German
troops would probably move in upon
Suez from two sides, after extend
ing an expeditionary force in Libya,

AT the same time I expect an

alternative for Great Britain than
TO sue for peace. The United States

Rayburn's opinion toward Rus

the sleeping dog game.
Russia will stay clear and keep
quiet, expecting and hoping that
Germany will bite off more terri

the ultimate development in Europe
will be spread of strife and revolu-
