RAILROAD LABOR'S
PAY TAGGING, SAYS
UNION SPOKESMAN

Chicago (ILNS) Evidence to show
that wage rates of railroad workers
have Jagged far behind those of other
workers was submitted to the presi-
Dental fact-fnding commission as the
ID incorporating rail unions continued
presentation of their case for increased
wages.
David Kaplan, Washington, D. c.,
labor economist, told the commission
that hourly earnings on railroads were
behind wages in manufacturing in the
1922-30 period; advanced from 1881 to
1888 and since then have Jagged.
Submitting data on current wages,
Kaplan declared that, while factory
wages were 34.5 per cent higher in
1941 than in 1920, railroad pay was
no higher.
Higher Industrial Rates Cited
The average of hourly earnings of
all railroad employees in June, 1941,
he testified, was 1872 cents, and for
the incorporating unions, 63.S cents.
He listed comparative industrial fig
ures as follows: agricultural imple-
ments, S8.6 cents; automobiles, 1861;
blast furnaces and steel, 96.4.
He said that skilled railroad shop
craft mechanics were receiving 56 to
80 cents less an hour that mechanics
in the building trades, Is to 60 cents
less than mechanics in the auto indus
try, and 8 to Sc cents less than me-
chanics in iron and steel plants.
Counsel for the railroads cross-ex-
amined L. E. Keller, research director
for the Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way Employees, who testified that
the railroads were now handling more
traffic per employe than in 1920.
Minimum Rates Law
In reply to question by Huston
Thompson, of the commission, Keller
said that 10000 workers on roads COW
cred by his organization had written
agreements calling for minimum
wages of less than the wage-hour
law minimums of 36 cents an hour for
Glass roads and 33 for others. Some
of the agreed wages, he added, were
as low as 20 cents an hour.
Following completion of testimony
by representatives Of the non-operat-
ing unions, the five operating brother
hoods opened their case.

SHIP STRIKE ENDS;
ACCEPT PROPOSAL

New York City (ILNS) The Sea-
farers' international Union and the
affiliated Sailors Union of the Pacific
on September "a called off their 12-
day strike for increased war bonuses,
accepting proposal of the National
Defense Mediation Board that the
strikers return to work pending a ne
gotiation conference under the boards
direction.
Before the strike ended, 26 vessels
had been affected. Three of these,
seized by the government, were at sea,
bound for West Indies ports. The
seized vessels were manned with
crews described by the strikers as
government strike breakers"
Union leaders emphasized that they
were acquiescing in the mediation pro-
posal only because the dispute had
been transferred from the hands of
the U. S. Maritime Commission to the
National Defense Mediation Board.
Union officials let it be known that
they were going ahead with vote on
a general strike, in case the mediation
board was unable to bring about per-
manent and satisfactory settlement

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Polish soldiers killed in action two
years ago. They had gone to lay
wreaths on the graves of their loved
ones.
These are but fragmentary reports
on what happened that day. Detailed
information will take some time to
reach this country through reliable
channel-letters from Poland.
From such letters, and from what
is the most reliable source-the re-
ports of the Polish underground press
the American Friends of Polish De-
mocracy received information on the
observance of September l in 1910. 1t
was day of mourning and boycott.
The Poles demonstratively refused to
leave their homes. On this day no
Poles travelled on trans or trains.
The cafes and cinemas were empty.
No newspapers or cigarettes were
bought
September /, 1910, was celebrated
by the Nazis in Warsaw with a mill
tary parade The streets were deco
rated with Nazi flags. In the evening,
when the parade was over, the loud
speakers at the street corners were
silent and the rostrums were deserted,
great crowds of Poles went into the
streets and congregated round the
Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and
such national monuments as the Nazis
had left standing, where they heaped
red and white flowers. The Gestapo
was soon at work and there were many
arrests. Subsequently, by an order
dated January 16, 1941, the remaining
monuments have been removed.
The boycott of the German-con-
trolled Polish-language papers caused
a 90 per cent drop in the circulation.
The papers remained unsold on the
stands that day-an effective reminder
to the oppressor that the spirit of
Polish resistance is alive and strong.

racy," the President wrote Admins
traitor McNutt, "is expressed in the
traditional independence and freedom
of our state and local schools and
school systems. Their freedom of ac-
tion for educational purposes must be
preserved. 1t is upon that freedom
that we hopefully depend for assur
ance that the judgments of our people
will be soundly based"
The President also referred to the
beneficial results" of the forums and
dy-discussion groups developed
since 1885 through the Federal Forum
Project of the. Office of Education.
"Now, under the impact of the de-
fense emergency" wrote the President,
II am convinced that it is more i'm
portant than ever that the people be
encouraged freely to assemble to dis
cuss their common problems. Indeed,
as | have said before, this is one of
the freedoms that we are determined
to defend"
Both the President and McNutt en-
phasized the great value of educa
tional forums and public discussion
which have been promoted in the past
six years by the United States Office
of Education. The administrator eX-
pressed special interest in the recog-
milton of public discussion as a means
of building civilian morale.
"Good morale" said McNutt, "is as
to defense as guns and
planes. Morale in a democracy is
unity of purpose based on common
understanding. That kind of morale
thrives on free and full discussion"
The program urged by the President
is democracy in practice and is in full
accord with organized labor's long

Reliable news from occupied Poland
is usually long in reaching this coun-
try, for its route is devious and diff
cult. However, some information is
available on the commemoration of
the second anniversary of the war in
Poland, and its suppression by the
German authorities.
From neutral countries it has been
learned that the German secret police
had prepared for mass arrests and
house-searches on September 1, 1941,
which were carried out on an eXten-
sive scale in Warsaw, Lodz, and Kielce.
The German and the German con-
trolled Polish-language papers in Po-
land reported that German authorities
had at first prohibited all religious
services for the soldiers killed in ac-
tion during the Polish campaign of
September, 1889. Later such services
were allowed on receipt of special
permits.
Subsequent news from neutral coun-
tries shows the German fears to have
been we'll grounded. The anniversary
was turned into an anti-German pro-
test: young people held mass demon
strations in many Polish cities, many
houses displayed Polish flags, and
walls were covered with such inscrip-
tions as "Long live Poland" Long
live Liberty" and Down with
Nazism."
The streets of Polish cities were
heavily patrolled by German police,
S. S. Elite Guards, military police, and
Gestapo agents. Poles not participat-
ing in demonstrations remained at
home, as they had done the previous
year. No Pole bought any German or
German-controlled paper.
The only people in the streets, be-
side the demonstrants and the police,
were the many veiled woman in mourn
ing-the wives, mothers, and sisters of

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1941.
PRIORITIES DANGER GROWS

From Governor Van Wagner of
Michigan, from a recent midwest con-
ference at Chicago representing city
governments, industry and labor, and
from industrial and labor leaders
throughout the nation have come in
sistent emphasis on the danger Of
economic chaos unless national de-
fense priorities on materials and labor
are modified or adapted in favor of
more production for civilian use.
The situation is admittedly dan
gerous. Disastrous unemployment has
already resulted in some cities from
the cutting off of certain materials;
more is threatened very soon. The
American Federation of Labor fore
saw the peril months ago and pre-
sented comprehensive plans for coping
with it. Immediate action is called
for, on much larger scale than any
action to date.
Fortunately, there are signs Wash
ington is waking up. Floyd B. Odlum,
new head of the OPM Contract Distri-
button Division, is showing that the
problem is not unsoluble. He has Sc
cured awarding of defense contracts
to five plants threatened with closing
because of the shutting off of their
aluminium supplies. He is urging
holders of the bulk Of defense orders
to assign their ablest executives to
handle subcontracting of orders to
smaller plants. Other action is planned.
If the government moves with vigor
and determination, undoubtedly jobs
can be saved and work forces kept
from disruption.

Defense Plants Need
250,000 More Workers

Washington, D. c. Paul v. Nc
Mutt, Federal Security administrator,
announced that more than 250,000
workers will be required within four
months in 5000 plants manufacturing
vital defense materials. He said that
about 272,800 expected hirings have
been reported to the board by en-
ployers, more than one-half of these
workers to be taken into the airplane
and ship building industries, where a
survey Of 371 establishments shows
they expect to hire 153,540 workers
by December 81.

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Ratchet We toll
the truth absut many things, sometimes
profoundly. sometimes aippAntly. some
times recklessly. :.

Should you wander into Ell Patio in
Mexico City some evening you might
behold the slender and beauteous Hilda
Kruger on the dance floor. And your
Mexican table companion might whis-
per to you, "there is one of Adolph
Hitler's propaganda agents in Mexico" "
Hilda Kruger really is a glamorous
person-blond, graceful, well gowned
and not too ostentatiously jeweled,
though ring on one hand strikes a
thoroughly exotic note.
With something of record in Ger
man movies, Hilda Kruger stays in
Mexico as an artist-and an artist
she surely appears. This alert Ger
man girl suffers no lack of admirers
and dancing partners. She has GER
tain popularity and it would appear
that in her job for Hitler-if she has
such a job-she is of top efficiency.
Hilda Kruger is just one of the facts
in a strange collection of facts in
Mexico City
Here is another fact: A couple of
weeks ago new publication appeared
"a patriotic, anti-axis weekly news
paper.
This newspaper isn't very preten-
tious, but it carries a striking note of
conviction and determination.
Two young men run this newspaper,
but for how long nobody can say.
One of the pair pawned an expensive
camera, his only valuable possession.
The other pawned an overcoat. With
the funds thus secured they published
their first edition.
SO, against Hilda Kruger you can
put down these two Mexican youths.
They have seen the propaganda of
the swastika and they are determined
to do about it what little is within
their power.
You have to have lot of faith in
something when you take plunge
such as these two boys took.
Just two kids, with a passion for
freedom. It's an inspiring note!
In Mexico City you get, if you find
those who know, stories about the
state of hemisphere solidarity on down
through Central and South America.
These stories don't leave you with
any too great a sense of faith in the
effectiveness of the work done by the
United States.
You get the clear feeling that in
more than one case the attitude of
government is one thing, the feeling
of the people another thing. One won
ders how much of the true feeling of
people is transferred to Washington
through official channels.
Certain it is that German and Ital-
ian agents still find it possible to
carry on vigorous propaganda work.
They are not tied by any scruples.
Maybe that is one Of the necessary
handicaps of the United States. Fire
cannot be met with fire.
In Mexico itself, our nearest neigh
Dor, there is too much feeling among
the people that the United States is
still the COLOSSUS of the NORTH"
wholly uncomplimentary term, believe
me.
Here are some notes:
Mexico has two grades of gasoline
"gasolina" and "Mexolina," the latter
the better grade. Cars seem to per-
form on it as well as they perform at

WHAT NEXT?

New fields for the use of ultra
violet radiation are constantly being
discovered. This invisible radiation is
now being used to paint" theatres in
the dark. When the house lights are
turned off at the Tower Theatre, Rose
vile, Cal, the rays of eight Westing-
house ultraviolet lamps cause fuor-
pigments in the wall, ceiling
and stage settings to re-emit the radia-
ton as visible pink and green light.
