HAVE FAR TO co

"This is encouraging, but we have far to go. While the changeover from civilian to defense production has made some progress, as yet very few of Americas 184,000 manufacturing plants are doing defense work. The Army-Navy Munitions Board esti- mated that about 12,000 of these plants were suitable for defense production, but of these only 6,657 were doing any defense work whatever in early September, 1941.
 We suggest in passing that this record of industry's failure to take defense work be compared with the American Federation of Labor's rec ord of time lost by strike, noted above"

90 Seconds A Day Lost By AFL
 Strikes, Official Records Show

WASHINGTON, D. C.-From June through October, 1941, time lost to the defense program by American Federation of Labor strikes has amounted to only two hours per man-year of work. That is lOH minutes in a month of work or 30 seconds in an eight-hour day. Time lost by accidents on the de- fense program is 13 times that lost by American Federation of Labor strikes.

CEASE HAS D.S.O.

Of the military heroes I can say that Local 404 has very modest and self-effacing man in Vice-President Jack Cease, who wears the Distin- guished Service Cross and never men tions it. He was with the AE.F. in Russia during World War I. Sent to guard a bridge that the enemy was going to blow up to isolate the Ameri- can force, he was alone, and when the enemy came, about a score of them, Jack turned loose with his machine gun and when he got through there were no enemies to capture. He had them all bagged.
 Sergeant Frankie Earth, waiter, was a member of Local 107, Newark N. J. He is, or was, the only living man who had the highest medals for courage of four nations.

HEROES
Cooks & Walters Unlon


 The Labor Movement is full of heroes, both men and women. I could recount many instances of gallant actions by our people, who by their suffering and endurance are, in my opinion, far in advance of those whose actions we read of in war. ''Peace has its victories not less renowned than war" The man or woman who is sick to death, and drags himself or herself to work while suffering, is sometimes as much hero as those that perhaps face a cannon. They do it for the sake of their families, perhaps so that their children shall be able to eat and enjoy a roof over their head

Bevin Sends Aid Plea
To American Workers

New York, n. Y.-An appeal to
brutal barbarism" Of the Nazis by
acceleratng the production of planes
and other war materials for Great
Britain was sent to Matthew Woll
vice president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, by Ernest Bevin,
Minister of Labor and National Serv-
ice in the British War Cabinet.
Conveying the thanks of British
labor for the promise Of support
given by the American Labor Com
mittee to Aid British Labor sponsored
by the League for Human Rights,
Freedom and Democracy, Of which
Mr.. Wol is president, Mr.. Bevin said:
"Victory can be brought much
nearer and the brutal barbarism of
the Nazis checked if American work
ers appreciate how essential it is to
speed up production now. Each days
increased effort will shorten the strug-
gle day by day."
Mr.. Woll announced that the League
was mobilizing the assistance Of 100
national and international unions. "We
Of organized labor have two import
ant functions to perform" Mr.. Woll
said. Zone, to make of this country
an arsenal of democracy as the
President put it; two, to rally Ameri-
can workers to give every possible aid
to the British workers who, together
with the rest of the civilian popula-
ton, are suffering greater atrocities
and tragedies than any civilian popu-
lation has ever suffered in war be-
fore"
