Trouble With CIO
Dual Organization Has Sum

In Vicinity

Perth Amboy, N. 1.-THE regular
session of Local Union No. 96 was
held Friday evening at which time
those who attended enjoyed one of
the finest meetings ever held. Brother
Nels P. Hansen, vice president, pre-
sided in the absence of President
Louis Turkus.
Brothers Hansen and Walter Ly-
beck were chosen to represent the
local at the conference called by Vice
President E. L. Wheatley at Trenton.
A lengthy report was given by the
Central Labor Union delegate. He re-
ported that C. l.. U. President Thomas
Kelly, who is also A. F. of l.. or
ganizer in this section, stated that
the c. |. O. has released a large sum
of money to start organizing indus
tries in Middlesex County and that
the various A. F. of L. unions in this
section should be on their toes to
combat this overbearing mob at every
turn.
Complaints were few, but there was
one and it was apparent that the
members are beginning to feel that
three and four days pay per week is
insufficient to meet the present cost
of living. To this member reported
that he had read that in view Of the

HitIer's Grovedigging Policies Must
Be Stopped, Declares Matthew WoII

New York, N. Y.-Describing Ger
many as a nation of gravediggers
that must be stopped by decent men,
Matthew Woll, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, told a
congregation of 1000 persons at the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine, that
the time has come for Americans to
state their convictions on aid for the
overthrow of the Nazis.
"Slave labor, slave wages under
slave conditions is Hitler's policy" he
said. wherever he has gone men
have no right Of protest or strikes" "
Citing the attempted assassination
of Pierre Laval as the expression of
the true spirit of the French people,
he said that not even the firing squad
or the Gestapo can stop freedom of
the press, speech and worship.

last Friday evening, though one very
important item was laid over because

to take an hour or two to look after
the case.

he didn't have quite enough college

Predicts u. S. Workers Will
Accomplish Defect Of
Europe's Dictators
HITS AT GAYDA
Americas Workers Un-
matched Anywhere In
Skill and Efficiency

Milwaukee, Wis.-America will win
the war of production against the
Axis powers, President William Green
Of the American Federation of Labor
fatty predicted in an address before
the American Legion convention here.
This war of production is not being
waged by men in uniform but by free
American workers, Mr.. Green ex-
plained, adding:
81 am proud to stand before you
today and declare without reservation
or qualification that Americas in
dustrial army is the greatest in the
world. Americas workers are un-
matched anywhere in their skill, their
efficiency, their patriotism and their
unconquerable spirit"
Mr.. Green hit back at statements
issued by Virginio Gayda, Mussolini's
chief propaganda, claiming that
workers are better off under Nazi-
Fascist rule in Europe than here in
America. He said:
eve know better than that. Amer
lean workers cannot be fooled by
such ridiculous propaganda. Neither
can the unfortunate slaves of Hitler
and Mussolini. But just to keep the
record straight and for the benefit Of
Mr.. Gayda and his friends in case
they are listening in again, let me say
this. The totalitarian aggressors who
nave conquered by fear as well as by
force in Europe might just as we'll
realize that they are facing an en-
tirely different proposition in Amer
lea. We do not fear them, but they
should and do fear US. We will match
them and oyermatch t'cFgEs-twn guRs
for one, two planes for one, two war
ships for one-and we have what 1t
takes to do it. They are starved even
for bare necessities. We are rich in
resources, we are mighty in industry
and our production capacity knows no
limits. Theirs is already overtaxed
and being Systematically wrecked by
bombs from American planes.
"But, above all, America is strong
in the free, willing, loyal, unconquer-
able spirit Of our great army Of
workers., whereas the Nazi-Fascist
dictators have to depend on slave
labor, on unwilling hands and be-
wildered minds, on starved, weary
and heavy-hearted men and women

Tobacco Road Not
As Bad As Tho Evils
Exposed On Farms
State Labor Department o.
Connecticut Stdrts
Legislation Drive

Hartford, Conn.-As the last Of
this seasons bumper tobacco crop is
being wheeled into drying sheds along
the Connecticut River Valley north of
this city, charges of "intolerable and
disgraceful' labor conditions reverb
crate across the denuded plantations.
Following exhaustive Investigations
by Miss Edna Purtell, of the State
Labor Department., Commissioner Cor
nelius j. Danaher started a drive for
legislation to govern the working con-
ditions in this "highly industrialized
agricultural industry" with tn e
pledge:
"Therell be no Tobacco Road in
Connecticut if this department can
stop it."
Employment of children under IA
years of age and bad conditions in
dormitories where Negro workers
lived were the chief complaints,
though the reports brought in by
state investigators covered a much
wider field of harvest evils. Long
hours, improper supervision and in
sufficient sanitary provisions that
were dangerous to the "health,
morals, safety and general welfare
of the workers were charged by the
Labor Department. Although many
complaints of maltreatment were filed,
the department had no power to act
because the tobacco fields come under
farming, the same as hay fields OF
cowsheds, and every effort to pass
laws protecting children engaged in
agricultural work has been defeated
in the General Assembly.
Miss Purtell reported complaints
that children as young as nine years
were on the fields in Somerville by
80 or a. m. Other complaints in
cluded boys being kicked and cuffed
by bosses, girls injured in a truck
bringing them to work, young chill

Convention

Columbus, o. Organized labor's
continued support of the national de-
fense program was pledged by the
International Brotherhood of Painters,
Decorators and Paperhangers of
America as it met here for its six
teenth international convention.
More than a thousand delegates
were present, setting an all-time at
tendance record. The convention will
continue for two weeks, with head
quarters in the Neil House and meet
ings in Memorial hall.
The delegates were representing
total of 1,5C0 locals with more than
10000 members in the United States
and it's territories and Canada.
At the conventions opening session
the delegates were welcomed in talks
by Governor John w. Bricker, George
Strain, state director of industrial re-
lations, and T. J. Donnelly, secretary
of the Ohio State Federation Of
Labor.
The delegates heard official reports
from General President L. P. Linde-
lof and General Secretary-Ireasure
Clarence E. Swick, both of Lafayette,
Ind, where the international has its
headquarters. The reports covered
activities of the international since its
last convention at Buffalo in 1887.
The Painters Brotherhood and or
ganized labor as whole have CO.
operated to the end that the national
defense program shall not be retard-
ed, Lindelof said in his report.
"Organized labor" he continued,
"will not desist, but will continue this
policy, asking in return only that
none of the social or economic gains
or achievements we have made be
denied US and that our standards not
be lowered during this present crisis

Commenting today on the fact that
the induction of registrants, other
than volunteers, who were 28 years OF
age or older on July /, 1941, has been
stopped by the recent enactment OF
legislation amending the Selective
Training and Service Act, officials at
State Selective Headquarters had the
following to say concerning the clas-
sifcation by Local Boards of regis
trants in this age group:
thereafter registrants who are de-
ferred by reason of age will continue
to be classified in the same manner as
other registrants, except that they
will be given no physical examina-
ton, and except that those of such
registrants who are being classified
for the first time and who are not
classified into Class ", Class III, or
Glass II will be placed in Class III.
Those of such registrants who are
classified into Class l or Class I'VE
before becoming entitled to deferment
oy reason of age, will be placed into
Class III or Class IV-E-H respective
ly upon becoming entitled to defer
ment by reason of age.
"The legislation provides that any
inductee who was % years of age or
older on July l, 194l, and before ne
was inducted, may be released by the
Secretary of War from active duty on
his own application when not in con-
fict with national defense.

"Hitler's new order is a denial of
the dignity of the human soul and of
the Christian belief that God hath
made of one blood all nations to dwell

Labor, with its principles deeply
rooted in the Christian faith, rejects
Hitler's new order. 1t will have none

Mr.. Woll pointed to more than three
million French, Belgium, Yugoslav,
Greek and British war prisoners who
are leased out for 40 cents a day.

 The White House Conference on Children in Q Democracy einplia- sized this by stating that mental and physical health in Q child is necessary if he, as an adult, is to exercise freedom and initiative - the basis of democracy.
 Child health implies that the baby Is born without serious defect; that he Is properly nourished; that he is raised with tender care; that he is protected against disease and is trained in health habits. Mothers should insist upon their children acquiring these habits early.
 Rising food costs should not tempt mothers to substitute inferior foods. Infectious diseases spread more widely in times of national peril. Keep your child away from symp- toms of such diseases, and by all means have him immunized against smallpox and diphtheria before the first birthday.
 With many fathers and mothers away from home in the defense program, 1t Is doubly important that we stress child health so that 1t won't happen here."

 Child health in democracy -- that's @ nice phrase which fails to excite us very much. It's some- shing we have taken for granted. Of course our children are health Eul. Don't -xle have the best health Realities in the world?
 Possibly. But that idea came vlattering down around our heads n one of the rudest awakenings h health circles for many years. One out of every three men called Cor army duty during the first months was rejected as physically and mentally unfit for general mill ttary dutyl
 That was the record for a nation which had admired itself for its health program. Now that nation faces a crisis with a good part of its man power on the ineligible health list.
 Certainly mothers do not want to raise their babies to be cannon fodder, but they do want them to grow to be healthy, normal per- sons who can defend this democracy if we are threatened.
 There is some danger that while we are building an "arsenal for democracy" we may fail to erect a citadel of health for mothers and babies and they are the ones who finally determine the destiny of nation.
