On the heels of President Roose-
velt's Labor Day plea for increased
production in defense industries, the
Metal Trades Department of the Am
erican Federation of Labor issued a
stirring appeal for redoubled efforts
by shipbuilding workers and execu-
tives to produce speedily "ships, ships
and more ships"
In it's official bulletin for Septem-
Der, the Metal Trades Department
declared:
"At this time we wish to call to
the attention of all who have our
coutry's interest at heart the need
for skilled mechanics to offer their
services to the shipbuilding industry
1t was explained that the depart
ment is conducting a drive to obtain
greater supply of skilled workers
for jobs in shipyards.
The Bulletin added:
ut is to you men-whether execu'
tives, skilled mechanics or laborers-
that our country is looking for the
production of ships which we very
sorely need. Our country is calling

and more ships and it is up to all Of
us to heed that CALL"
The bulletin pointed out that the
Metal Trades Department as far back
as 1923 adopted resolutions in con-
vention demanding that the United
States Navy be built up to full treaty
limits and has ever since conducted a
campaign for expansion of the Amer
ican Navy and merchant marine.
Commenting on the "almost mirac-
ulous" growth and expansion of the
American shipbuilding industry in the
last few years, the bulletin declared
that the United States now is the
worlds outstanding nation in shipping
and shipbuilding.

Albany, N. Y. QLNS).-The re-
cent conversion of skilled marble
workers to shipbuilding trades where
their skills are sorely needed was re-
vealed here by Richard c. Brockway,
director of the New York State En-
ployment Service.
"The marble setting, cutting and
carving industry in New York City
has laid dormant for some time
said Brockway. "With all these skilled
marble workers unemployed, the New
York State Employment Service
sought to place them in related work
where their skills would be useful to
the defense program.
Outlet For Skills
Investigation disclosed that the
work of marble cutters includes the
laying out and developing of full size
patterns corresponding to what are
known as templates in the shipbuild
ing industry. There we had one pos
sible outlet for the high degree OF
skill possessed by these men.
"Then we discovered that 'stone

Union Label Symbol Of Democracy.
0rnburn Says In Labor Day Talk

Members of labor unions, their fami-
lies and friends form this Union La
bel-conscious battalion. Like bombs
in an air raid, Union Labels, Shop
Cards and Service Buttons are the
greatest weapons to drive out unfair
bosses and open-shoppers from the
consumers market.
Through the use of the Union
Label workers do not find it neces-
sary to strike or to even throw out a
picket line in front of an unfair in
dustry. The Union Label, Shop Card
and Service Button are weapons that
can be used in silent and peaceable
manner. They are continuous boy
colts against sweatshoppers, chisel-
ers and unfair employers. The Union
Label is the best guarantee that prod
ucts are made in America. 1t is the
only assurance that goods are made
under humane and sanitary condi-
tions. The Union Label is the highest
insurance Of quality.
"Union Labels, Shop Cards and
Service Buttons stand for industrial
democracy and economic security.

Washington, D. C. - The Union
Label is the symbol Of industrial de-
mocracy and the antithesis Of totali-
tarianism, l. M. Ornburn, Secretary
Treasurer of the Union Label Trades
Department of the the American Fed
Grafton of Labor told a large radio
audience on Labor Day.
During the coming year let each
one of us devote more thought, more
energy, and more spirit toward the
goal of making the organized labor
movement a more militant and power
full American institution. If we do,
each Labor Day will be a milestone
Of progress of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor" Mr.. Ornburn said.
"In the same degree that we re-
quire weapons of defense to protect
the sacred principles of democracy in
government, so do labor unions find
it necessary to have available weapons
to secure their rights and maintain
the benefits gained by labor unions
over a long period of years. Union
earned money when directed in union
channels is the best weapon for the
defense of American labor standards.

AFL Trounces CIO in Detroit Election:
Union Upheld BY Street RoiIwoymen

Detroit, Mich.-In a contest that
attracted nationwide attention, the
American Federation of Labor ad-
ministered a severe trouncing to the
CIO in its supposed stronghold-De-
troit.
Aided by five other A. F. of L.
unions, the Amalgamated Association
of Streets, Electric Railway and Mo-
tor Coach Employees of America won
vital collective bargaining election
and ended the threat of further CIO
raids against other established organ
izations here.
The election followed settlement of
a five-day strike called by Division 26
of the Amalgamated Association, to
defend it's position as the sole and
exclusive collective bargaining agency
of transportation employees of the
municipally-owned Detroit Stree
Railways. These were denied by
Mayor Edward Jeffries, who had
granted so-called minority rights" to
the CIO.
The election was to determine
whether the A. F. of l.. unions al
ready established on the system, or
the raiding CIO would obtain sole
bargaining rights. The A. F. of L.
won by vote of 3,076 to 1925 and

The outfit which led the CIO to
slaughter is the State, County and
Municipal Workers, a red-front Or

Traffic Accidents
Deal Hard Blow To
Defense Production
Armada of IL Bdttleships
Could Have Been Built
BY Victims

Chicago QLNS). - The number of
workers killed and injured by traffic
in the United States in the first seven
months of 1941 could have built de-
fensive ring of 10000 fighter planes,
or fleet of $4,000 light tanks, or an
armada of IL battleships.
The National Safety Council cited
those figures as it rallied the safety
forces of the nation, at the direct re-
quest of President Roosevelt, for an
emergency campaign to halt the ris-
ing tide of accidents that is hamper
ing the defense program.
In July alone, the council said, a
whopping traffic toll of 1920 pushed
the highway death total for the seven
months past the 10000 mark and a
notch nearer an all-time high Of 40,-
GOO for 1941.
Deaths Up II Per Cent
The July toll was 18 per cent great
er than in 1910. The seven-montll
toll of 20,OsO-9,5 of them workers
was II per cent greater.
The July increase completed fu!
year in which each months toll ex'
ceeded that of the same month the
year before. In fact, traffic deaths
have declined in only one of the last
% months.
To stop this drain on the nations
productive manpower, the council hur
ried mobilization of a safety army
to attack accidents of all kinds. L
took these steps:
1. 1t called on governors, mayors
and other public officials to NEE
the accident emergency with emer
gency measurers.
2. 1t asked 100 national organiga
tions to throw the full weight O.

and individually, into the campaign.

ber organizations to revitalize thei

Cambridge, Ohio.-The local meet
ing of No. 1872 was postponed until
Thursday because of the regular
meeting night falling on Labor Day.
1t has happened several times that
suspended members have secured
work here and then departed before
the local could collect reinstatement

comers accepting work here, who
have no credentials to show good

some member vouch for them and de-

the rapid increase in price Of sponges
