Grafton of Labor won hotly con-
tested Labor Board Election among
employees of the International Harves
ter Company with a total vote of s.,
044 to 1929 for the CIO.
AS separate elections were held,
however, in the company's six plants
the results were not entirely conclu-
sive. The American Federation of
Labor won clear majorities in the
Milwaukee and Farmall plants. The
CIO eked out bare majorities in the
West Pullman and East Moline
plants. The vote was so close in the
Mccormick plant that a runoff cleo
tion probably will have to be held to
decide the winner. In the Rock Falls
plant nine challenged ballots may de-
eide the result because there was a
difference of only four votes in the
totals cast for the contending unions.
In all of the plants only a scat
tering few votes were cast against
either union.
Leaders of the American Fedora
tion of Labor's organizing drive de-
clared they will redouble their efforts
to win the runoff election at the Nc

UNION FOR DEMOCRTTC
ACTION WARNS OF NEW RED
PROPAGANDA ATTEMPTS

New York City GNS).-Warning
against Communist attempts to pene-
trate the American liberal and labor
movement as a result of the Nazi-
Soviet war, the Union for Democratic
action, whose membership includes
many labor leaders, at a special exec
utive committee meeting, neverthe-
less called upon the American gov
ernment to give every possible eco
nomic and technical assistance to
Russia in cooperation with Britain.
Speaking through its chairman, DR..
Reinhold Niebuhr, the committee
pointed out that "the German inva-
sion of Russia offers the democratic
world an immediate opportunity but
also increases its perils." A quick
victory over Russia, with the conse-
quent acquisition of the grain of the
Ukraine and the oil Of the Caucasus,
would greatly enhance Hitler's posi-
bilities to succeed in his plans of
world domination. The committee
warned further that the attempt by
American isolationists to capitalize
on the Russian invasion in order to
divide the American people in their
resistance to Hitlerism was directly in
line with what the leaders of the
Reich desired and expected

SOCIAL SECURITY BOARD
REGION V

Possession Of a social security ac-
count card is not proof that a per-
son is of legal age to work in any
State, it was said today by Glenn H.
Pittenger, manager Of the Youngs-
town, Ohio, field office of the Social
Security Board. Pointing out the
danger of accepting these cards as
such proof he said:
Recently our office has issued
many hundreds of social security ac-
count numbers to young folks who
are planning to obtain their first jobs.
The social security account cards does
not show the age of the bearer, nor
is it in any sense proof that the per-
son to whom it is issued is of legal
working age in this state.
employers should be careful to see
that the young men and women they
hire are of legal working age for the
type of job for which they are en-
gagged. The fact that an applicant
has social security card is never to
be taken as proof of age as these
cards are issued to persons of all
ages, if they are working in COM
merce or industry or expect to OBJ
tain such employment.
"The application for an account
number shows the age of the worker
but this is confidential information
and cannot be given to anyone"

Many New Faces And Un-

Cambridge

Cambride, Ohio.-The annual picnic
of Local Union No. 1872 will be held
August 8. Committees are now at
work and as plans shape and results
materialize, reports will be made
through this column.
The Central Trades Council are at
work on the usual Labor Day celebra
ton which is always an outstanding
affair. So get your picnic basket in
readiness for these two dates.
With the defense program getting
we'll under way and reports Of large
earnings paid defense workers, there
is a large pilgrimage to surrounding
cities in search of the Pot of Gold. AS
result unoccupied houses are on the
increase here.
The call from defense industries
and the draft has, and likely will con-
tinue to cause faces to replace the
familiar ones we have become accus-
toned to see at the usual benches.
Our Chamber of Commerce still
sponsors plan of soliciting funds
from the citizens to be used as finan-
cial inducement, along with the avail
able labor supply to attract transient
industry to the town. Similar efforts
were successful in bringing here one
industry that functioned non-union
and rent free for four years.
When private capital becomes ster-
lie, labor is propagandized to supply
both labor and capital and from else
where comes the industrialist who
then supplies the jobs. This method
seems to be the cure for the will of
the wisp cooperative plan" that our
realists assure us will never work out.
Maybe that's the cure for the "after
the war depression" So save your
money. Then you can pay your
pledges to a factory building program
and your well being is assured. o.

should carry road map, but then if
he did, he'd have no excuse for in
quiring.
