Good Evening.
THE OPEN SEASON IN CONNECTICUT

 When spring comes to Connecticut City folks spend their time' Fixing up their summer places
 From Westport to Old Lyme. Fresh paint is applied,
 Houses all aired out, Shutters are unboarded
 It's hustle hustle all about. Town apartments are closed
 And all are hell bent To get places in order
 From Milford to Kent Ye Olde Connecticut attracts
 Both stage and screen stars, They run up for weekends
 Tn sports models and town cars, To farm out for the summer
 Amid low-hanging hills With picturesque backgrounds
 Of wooded glade and old mills. Every Monday morning early
 Committing husbands return to the city, Tearing themselves from maple and birch And filled with self pity. When spring comes to Connecticut City folks are just rarin' To make a dash for the country From Cornwall to Sharon.

Labor in order to help solve this
problem.
Disclosing that shortages Of skilled
workers in the defense program had
failed to materialize, Mr.. Frey cred
ted the trade unions affiliated with
the Metal Trades Department with
helping to provide adequate labor sup
ply by bringing to jobs skilled me-
chanics who had dropped out of their
trades for various reasons.
Mr.. Frey devoted large portion of
his report to a review of the shocking
about faces in the Communist Party
line and the Communist threat to
trade unionism.
Now that Soviet Russia has been
attacked and invaded by Nazi Ger
many it is in the interest Of America
to provide Russia with defense aid,
Mr.. Frey said But he warned that a
victory for Stain which would make
him master of Europe would be just
as dangerous to democracy as vic
tory for Hitler.
"lf we are to remain truly Amer
lean trade union movement" Mr.. Frey
concluded, sit must be our fixed pur-
pose to eliminate Communists from
our ranks and to continually expose
their treacherous and subversive ac-
tivities."

tageS, the victims of totalitarian
forms Of government, living in con-
Centration camps, are taken out, lined
up against a stone wall and shot to
death because someone in some re-
mote section miles away had per-
sonal conflict with some soldier rep
resenting dictator.
"Can we sit idly by, fold our arms
and feel secure? We realize now more
than ever the menace to our liberty,
to our freedom and to our form of
government.
"And so we determined at our last
convention that we would stand with
our government, that we would give
to the government every ounce of
support we could extend it, that we
would serve as skilled, trained men,
giving the best we have in the pro-
motion Of our defense program.
'ln addition to that, we ask our
great President, the President of the
United States, to tell the people in
Great Britain that we propose to eX-
tend to them every ounce of aid pos
sible in order that they may defeat
this cruel dictator ravaging Europe.
"We are now encouraged and in
spired to go further than ever before
in the adoption Of an official declara-
ton, | know, in this convention. We
have learned so much during the past
year. We have read of the tragedies
that have been taking place in the
democracies of Europe. For that rea-
son now, understanding more clearly
the issues at stake and the tragic
consequences that must follow in the
event the forces of democracy are
beaten, we of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor are going to rise to new
heights, and we are going to advise
the President of the United States
that we will give all we have in sup
port of his program, that we will
stand by him and behind him and all
around him, and we will tell him
further that if it is necessary to take
more decisive action in order to main
tain freedom of the seas, and to pro-
tect democracy throughout the world,
we will stand by him and follow to
the bitter end.

local central labor unions everywhere
take leadership in establishing the
concept and the practice that local
unions must be maintained as agen-
cies of human freedom and human
welfare. Unions can not make them
selves strong by disregarding the
rights and interests of other groups
of wage eamers, nor can unions
maintain strength by denying others
access to the rights and agencies
which they have established.

fords to wage earners unrestricted
freedom of action through voluntary
union organization. Our greatest con-
Germ should be to exercise our rights
so as to perpetuate them, together

Judge Derndnds
Deportation OF
Hurry Bridges
Recommendation Is Made
After Eleven-Week Heur-
ing In San Francisco

Washington, D. C.-Deportation Of
Harry R. Bridges, West Coast CIO
director, was recommended by Judge
Charles B. Sears, Special Justice De-
partment Examiner, on the basis of
an eleven-week hearing in San Fran
cisco which ended June IL. The rec
ommendation was made on the ground
that Bridges, a native of Australia,
has been affiliated with the Commun-
ist Party (which advocates the over
throw by force and violence" of the
United States Government.
The findings by Judge Sears consti-
tute the first official administrative
Interpretation of the law passed by
Congress last year which makes de-
portable any aliens who have ever
been members of subversive organi-
zation. The report was the latest in
a series Of deportation moves against
Bridges, who, in addition to being a
director of the CIO in California, is a
member of the CIO national executive
board and president of its Interna-
tional Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's Union.
Judge Sears 1S5-page report cited
excerpts from documentary and oral
! evidence at the hearing which, he
| found, "establishes that the Commun-
ist Party of the United States be-
lieves in, advises, advocates and
teaches the overthrow by force and
violence, of the Government of the
| United States within the terms of the
statute relating to the deportation OF
aliens"
He also cited evidence of what he
termed the Communist "policy of hy-
pocrisy and deceit under which he
said "party members are instructed
not only to conceal their membership
but also to deny it when expedient." ;"

news to some people who do not know
why the nose is on their face. The
nose is the first organ placed on the
body to decide what is good for it.
From the time people first started to
cook or roast their meat, they have
been in danger when eating meat.
Cooking kills the aroma, and the
corrupt head cell matter that has
killed millions Of people prematurely,
gets past the nose. There are other
organs of the body helping in the
elimination, but do not need to dwell
upon these. l am writing this think
ing that l may have some knowledge
which might be helpful to others and
hoping that | can prevent some
things from happening which might
prove harmful.
There seems to be some reasons
why people live longer and why we
have overcome some of the epidemic
diseases which have killed many peo-
pie before their time.
We cannot ignore some of them.
Our progress made in sanitation and
refrigeration and the value of trans
portation and education must be given
consideration. The butcher no longer
sells his rotten meat to the people OF
the slums. This is where smallpox
always started and where the outside
toilet was always to be found.
Of course someone will attempt to
tell me that the doctors inoculate
some two or three thousand school
children out of population of 10000
people and that is why the city is
kept free of smallpox. 1t would be
fine if we could stop other diseases
while still continuing the cause. Some
try to live on carbohydrate foods or
try to make red blood out of white
flour and white sugar. If they could
get a shot in the arm and be saved
it would be all right.
However, it takes real effort to be-
come strong and some knowledge on
how to help ourselves. You don't find
that knowledge on the doctors table
He may tell you the truth for pay, but
remember, there are reasons why you
suffer.
You gorge yourself on banquet steaks
You top it off with wine and cakes,
You eat the junk the baker bakes
| And listen to all kind of fakes
And take the dope the druggist makes
We smoke until we get the shakes
And drink until we get the snakes
And never think we make mistakes
But when at last ones system breaks
We wonder why our belly aches.

portant factory spaces and millions OF
toilers face long idleness unless the
policy of spreading defense produc-
ton is made to work effectively.
"With the last reorganization OF the
Defense Administration, Division OF
Contracts Distribution was estab-
lished. 1t was given the power to
write subcontracting requirements in
to defense contracts and to ignore
lowest bidders in favor of contractors
willing to help distribute contracts
which means distributing the work.
Labor hopes this new agency will
make the long expected effort to
spread work so that not a machine or
a worker shall be idle in this critical
time.
Price Must Be Disregarded
eff this result is accomplished, it
will be necessary to disregard price.
The costs of converting small estab-
lishments for defense production,
higher administration and inspection
costs and perhaps higher unit produc-
ton costs are of little consequence in
comparison with the securing of
quantity production in time for mill
tary effectiveness and the preserva-
ton of national morale by the preven-
ton of widespread unemployment.
"The long list of industries crippled
or killed by priority orders began with
aluminium. In March the American
Federation of Labor warned the De-
fense Administration that widespread
unemployment was imminent in alum
mum goods for civilian purposes.
No Action Yet
'In July representatives of alumni
mum unions again came to Washing
ton to make personal petition that
defense contracts be planned for then
plants. In July technicians worked out
plans to provide contracts for all the
plants and reported to OPM. In mid
September the plan had not yet beer
put into effect and not single alum
mum goods plant was working on de-
fense orders.

Preparations can be made by allo

that this course be followed as a mat

tell our distinguished visitors here,
the Governors of these states and
those who are sitting with us this
morning, that we come to Seattle
united. There is no left wing and
right wing group in the American
Federation of Labor. Others may
fight, they may have their left wing,
their center wing or their right wing,
they may have Communism, Fascism,
or Nazism, but the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is united family.
We know nothing about left wing and
right wing groups. We speak as one,
we act as one, we walk as one and we
fight as one.
Furthermore, I want to emphasize
this fact, that there are no isolation
lists in the American Federation of
Labor.
"Behold the picture abroad. Peace
loving people now governed by force,
the right of self-government taken
from them; racial hate and religious
intolerance substituted for freedom to
worship in accordance with the die
tates of conscience; freedom Of as
semblage; the right to belong to a
labor union of ones own choosing
all these have been taken away.
"I think l can hear the cry of the
children of Belgium, of Holland, the
Netherlands, France, Czechoslovakia,
Norway and the Balkan states, and
every other country that has been in
vaded by this cruel, brutal foe.
"What did they do? Why should
they thus be punished, these peace
loving, quiet, unassuming people seek
ing to work out their own destinies
in accordance with the laws Of God
and of humanity?
"And yet labor in all of these coun-
tries has been regimented, involuntary
servitude and forced labor substitut-
ed for free labor. These countries are
strikeless nations; their men and
women have been robbed of the right
to mobilize their economic power and
use it for the purpose Of advancing
and promoting their social and indus
trial welfare.
"Shall that come to Great Britain
and shall it come to America? Can
we sit idly by and wait until it reaches
our shores ?"
President Green praised the service
given by American Federation of
Labor members to the national de-
fense program and spoke eloquently
of their restraint in avoiding strikes
He predicted that the convention
will take decisive action to prevent
defense unemployment arising from
priorities, to push for a postwar
peace production program, to stimu-
late and promote a vast-scale housing
and construction program, and to pro
tect labor's rights from being de.
stroyed.
Mr.. Green made it clear that the
A. F. of l.. will oppose any proposa
to freeze wages at present levels, de
claring this is not the right way t(
curb initiation.
He promised that when the wal
ends, representatives of labor at the
peace conferences will see to it tha
restoration of the rights of labor ii
all enslaved countries will be incor
porated in the peace treaty.
At the opening of the convention
session, Mayor Milliken Of Seattle
and Governor Langlie of Washington
praised the record of the A. F. of L
unions in this section of the country
and gave the delegates a hearty wei
come. Mr.. Green also referred to the
fact that Seattle is one of the bes
organized cities in the nation and is
in fact, an american Federation o.
