with this new program America
faces the grim realities. To oppose
Hitler with anything less than mill
tary machine far surprising his own
is to invite wholesale slaughter Of
soldiers and civilians alike. To delay
our utmost productive effort is to al
low starvation and hostage killings
gradually to wipe out the peoples Of
conquered Europe, the nations with a
great tradition of freedom on whom
we must depend to rebuild a demo-
cratic world. Only by the swiftest pos
sible rise of American military pro-
duction can the world struggle be
brought to quick conclusion.
'The American Federation Of Labor
has long recognized these facts. We
fense production; we have supplied
thousands of skilled men for building
| and other defense work. More than a
year ago we established policy of nc
strikes on defense work until all the
resources of mediation and concilia-
|
on defense strikes speaks for itself
From June through October 1941, time
lost to the defense program by Amer
can Federation of Labor strikes ha:
amounted to only two hours per man
year of work That is 1912 minutes II
a month of work or 80 seconds in al
eight hour day. Time lost by accl
dents on the defense program is l;
times that lost by American Fedora
tion of Labor strikes.
"Defense production has gathered
speed in recent months. The rise from
July to September was greater THAI
in the preceding seven months. A
measured by Government defens
spending, the value of goods produce'
rose from $737,OO0,OO0 in January t
100000 in July and l,337,
OG0,OCO in September. Airplane pro
ducton has almost doubled-fror
900 planes a month at the start o
1871 to 1914 in September, one lars
producer Of tanks made 1000 ligh
tanks from August through October
equaling the previous IL months pro
dlction; medium tank production, too
is speeding.
"This is encouraging, but we hav
far yet to go. While the changeove
from civilian to defense productio
has made some progress, as yet yer
few of Americas 1874, 600 manufactul
ing plants are doing defense worl
,
estimated that about 10000 of thes
plants were suitable for defense pre-
duction, but of these only 6,657 wer
doing any defense work whatever
,, early September 1871. We suggest
passing that this record of industry
failure to take defense work be con
pared with the American Federatio
of Labor's record of time lost b
strike, noted above"

Our members engaged in some in
terestng and instructive discussions
pertaining to working conditions and
prices on the various shops. The
casters on some of the shops took up
the hose casting method with their
last wage conference and were prom
ised the hose system just as soon as
the firm could get to it, Up to date
there isn't any sign of these firms
making any attempt to eliminate this
drudgery of lifting heavy buckets of
slip from the floor and holding them
shoulder high to fill the taller moulds.

in the casting trade in other shops in
this vicinity, you owe it to yourself
to attend your local meetings regu-

The question Of the day that took
priority over most of the other issues
was the need of an early reopenine

that comprise the general makeup OF
our existence. This local expressed d
unanimous desire for an early reopen.

Future Growth Of
Public Housing Is
Certainly Assured
Four Years Of u. S. H. A.
Work Has Ldid q Firm
Foundation

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Com-
menting on the fourth anniversary Of
the establishment of the United States
Housing Authority, Administrator
Nathan Straus declared that accom-
plishments of the agency had laid a
firm foundation for the future
growth and expansion of public hous-
ing in America.
Prevailing rates Of wages are paid
on USHA projects and the agency has
worked in close cooperation with
American Federation of Labor build
ing trades unions.
"Public housing four years ago was
regarded by some as sort of socialis-
tic dream. Today it has become an in
tegral and accepted part of American
life," the administrator said.
"The United States Housing Au-
thority began it's operations in field
in which Americans had extremely
limited experience. Only handful of
local housing authorities, through
which USHA works, were in existence
and few states had legislation en-
abling their establishment. Today
there are 622 local housing authorities
and all but nine states have legisla-
ton allowing communities to particl-
pate in the public housing program
100000 Already Rehoused
"More than 100000 persons have
been moved out of subs standard hous
ing into new homes and this number
is increasing by some $4,000 month
When present funds have been eX
hausted 100000 people will have beer
rehoused."
Administrator Straus cited various
statistics in connection with tn
physical side of the public housing
program and went on to say the sta
tistics are no more impressive thai
the advances which have been mad
"in improvement in health and well
being and good citizenship on the par
, of thousands of families rehoused.
He continues:
"Public housing projects have no
only given new hope and purpose t.
thousands of lives, they have also re
vitalized whole neighborhoods ant
given our cities a cleaner, more opel
character.
Greater Service in Future
"In developing this program w
have provided the means for eve
| greater service to the country. A
organization experienced and capabl
= will be ready to help cushion tn
| shock of postwar depression by un
7 dertaking far flung program Anne
at ridding the nation Of every slur
dwelling. At first glance this ma
seem large order; but compared t
the results which would be achieved
however, the cost would be small"

I'm a second editorial Mr.. Green dis
cussed the recent annual convention OF
the American Federation of Labor,
emphasizing the conventions renewal
of its pledge to stand four-square
with the Government in its policy Of
defending democracy against the on

"We realize the welfare of workers

democratic institutions and that only
W hen such institutions prevail

tunity for human progress" Mr.
Green wrote.

Saying that Mrs. Roosevelt repre-

American life" Mr.. Meany declared
that organized labor was fully aware
of the issues involved in the interna-
tional crisis and was determined to
defend with all its power both the
spiritual and material assets of the
United States.
Others who joined in praising Mrs.
Roosevelt included Mayor LaGuardia,
Lieutenant Governor Poletti and Sam

eloquent speech, stating everything
was in readiness for the new group
to go upstream. Shorty was granted
the floor and asked the audience where
they were going to get the boat, that
for his part he'd stick with the good
old boat n. B. of O. P. He stated he
was leaving and asked everyone else
who felt as he did % follow him.
Scores followed Shorty out the door,
streaming down past the old end CT
the shop. Of course this broke up the
meeting and the union followed short
ly afterwards.
Shorty's advice to the youngsters
is, Don't get radical, think things
over. What you have today you owe
to the old boys in the cemeteries" To
which we say Amen, and thank God
for you, Shorty Cochran.
Brother Jack Myler, our other
charter member, started to work at
the new end of X. T. & X. as clay
wedger for Sam Mountford, William
Cooke and Gus Trenle in the year
1880. While there he put out the big
gest wedging of clay at one time that
had ever been accomplished alone.
He ioined the Knights Of Labor II
1881, together with the late Tee
Owens, who later became manufac
turer in Minerva and Erwin. james
Green, kilnman, was president o1
knights of Labor at the time, being
succeeded by Lon TOLLS, a harness
maker.
When the n. b. of o. p. was or
ganized Jack was one Of it's first mem
bers and he recalls when the member
became scattered and somewhat dis
organized. In 1894 a reorganization
meeting took place in the Whltten
berger Building and Brother A
Hughes was elected the first nationa
president of the Brotherhood.
Jack started the jiggering trade a
X. r. G. *. in 1883 making basins. II
had been on pressing before this, bu
they needed big husky fellow t.
handle a basin job so Jack was Sc
lected.
He recalls the strike Of 1898 an
OlLen SpcdhS VI Vic u lpn i'''''" INV
the farm country to buy food for tn
strikers. He wakes eloquent in tn
fine treatment afforded them by tn
farmers and others who were sympa
thetic to them. Jack and Elijah Eard
ley were selected to open coal min
for the strikers at Nose Lebee's plac
in Gardendale. He recalls John Reet
James Graham and his son haulin
coal to the strikers. With the strik
over, Jack went back to X. T. d *
where he worked for 2S years.
In 1906 Jack went to the neN
1.augh.n No. 4 plant where he is sti
lingering today. He is proud of tn
fact that one of his helpers has bee
with him for Is years.
Brother Myler is an ardent rabbi
hunter and still goes out when he get
the time. He has served for man
years as Justice Of the Peace
Newell.
Jack has the greatest of respet
and profound admiration for the az
compliShments Of the late Brother +

tonal Brotherhood. His message
the young folks is, "Eat well, slee
