"Labor's responsibility to defense
Is no more and no less than the

to give to the Nation at this time
the full measure Of their abilities
and strength in order that we may
profitably and effectively produce
those things that are essential TO the
defense of the country. We must
recognize that We are all Americans.
Il am convinced that if the work

make their own decisions, free from
interference, intimidation and CO.

forts. Indeed, the great majority OF

NEW YORK, Dec 4.-His story OF
Government union company
souabble over defense housing
project has been told by Patrick j.
Currier. president of the lumber
company involved. in the December
issue of the trade magazine, Mill and
Factory
The quarrel revolved around the
use Of pre-fabricated houses in de-
fense work At the time contract
for construction of a defense hous-
ing project at Wayne. Mich, was
under consideration the American
Federation of Labor building trades
unions threatened a general strike
if Currier assembly-line houses were
selected.
Mr.. Currier said a secret agree
ment apparently existed between
Sidney Hlman, associate director
of the Office of Production Manage
ment. and the Detroit A. F. L. union
Hillman Blocked Award.
The agreement. he claimed, pro-
vided that all Detroit government
building work would go to the A. F
L. if the union would not strike OF
otherwise jeopardlze the defense
program. Even the Detroit F. w. A
administrator was unaware of thi!
agreement, Mr.. Currier stated. be.

on its low bid and gave every reason
to believe it would get the contract

Mr.. Currier claimed, would have

not been awarded.
Mr.. Currier said he went TO

ton agreement which Mr.. Hillman

no legal reason for denying us the
contract"
This case, Mr. Currier declared.
lis amazing truth that our social
gains have now reached the point
where the United States Govern
ment can be blackmailed by certain
organized groups-that progress can
be prohibited-that eXorbitant costs
are encouraged-the laws of the land
can be defied by small minority

emergency, but because of the emer-
gency," Mr.. Davis said.
Il say this because independent
self disciplined labor organization is
a tool, a tool of industrial peace, a
tool of production. Without 1t We
cannot erect that framework OF
agreement upon which mutual trust
and confidence in the plant must be
built.
All Available Tools Needed.
And we now need every tool We
can lay our hands on. however dull,
to complete this great task which
lies before us-the task OF pushing
Hitler off the map"
For service in private industry,
Mr.. Davis said. free men cannot
be drafted. In private industry,
workers and management must be
allowed to fix wages, hours and
working conditions by agreement
This explains why the National AS
sociation Of Manufacturers as well
as the great labor organizations
have passed resolutions against COM
pulsory arbitration.
"As Sidney Hillman (co-director
! of the Office of Production Manage
nent has we'll said, we can no longer
have either business as usual or
strikes as usual But we must not
| lose our battle for freedom in solv-
ing that problem.
Inevitable Conclusion.
1T seems to me the. inevitable
conclusion is that the parties IN
| volved in private industry must
agree among themselves on some
plan that will maintain uninterrupt-
ed production without sacrificing
fundamental rights.
This means. I think. they must
agree upon some final tribunal
available in any case in which all

A spokesman for an independent

Senate Defense Investigating Com
mlttee today that the A. F. L. and
C. l. o. had both practiced inter
ference, restraint or coercion
against organizational efforts OF the

The spokesman was David Basor
of Seattle. representing the United
Brotherhoods of WelderS, Cutters
and Helpers of America. who de-
clared that refusal Of either OF the
ma jor labor organizations TO grant
the Welders a separate status often
made members of that craft pay
multiple dues. assessments and ini-

to get jobs.

Mr.. Basor said that the we'll
known and widespread policy of the
A. F. L. of maintaining closed shop
contracts between itself and the en-
/ plovers and the yearly renewal OF
such contracts has resulted in de-
priving the Welder employed in such
a plant from ever organizing into

of Remington employees being enter
tanned by Mr.. Shanack, but knew
nothing definite.
He had been asked if he had heard
that Mr.. Shanack entertained Rem

Negotiations, WeIIes Says
Hoover Story on Page ALI

tH00ver Story on Page Ally
Emphasizing that it is Germanys
obligation to feed the peoples in the
territories she has occupied, Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles
said today this Government had
taken no part in negotiations an
nounced by former President Hoover
to obtain British and German per-
mission to carry out an experimental
feeding plan in Belgium.
Mr.. Welles said that under every
accepted rule of international law,
it was the obligation of Germany
to provide adequately for the care
of the peoples in territories occupied
by the Nazis and that this Govern
ment believed emphasis should be
laid on that fact.
Mr.. Hoover announced from Chi
cago last night that a plan for sup
plying American food to Belgians on
an experimental basis to determine
if it could be done without military
advantage to any belligerent had
been submitted to the British and
German governments.
Mr.. Welles said he had not been
informed if Mr.. Hoover had OBJ
tained State Department permission
to carry on such negotiations with
Germany and Britain, but he de-
clined to express any opinion when
asked if the former President had
made himself liable to charges of
violating the Logan Act, which for
bids unauthorized negotiations by
private citizens with foreign gov
ernments.

Geore V. Richardson, master of the
24,289-ton liner Manhattan, was
charged today with having been
negligent when the ship grounded

He was specifically accused OF
failing and neglecting to 60 on

command of the vessel at the proper
time" and of having failed to make
a timely change of course away

The charges were preferred by a

ton. Accused along with the vet
eran Richardson, described as a
skipper with a long and perfect
record" was First Officer Joseph H,
Burger.
Each man pleaded innocent after
the charges were read, and Burger
Immediately took the witness stand.
After testifying about the taking of
bearings he asserted that at no time
had he been given instructions to
change the liners course.
Heading the special board of in
quiry was Capt. George Fried, ma
rine hero and a former shipmate Of
Capt. Richardson.
The liner was ref1oated % days

At the same time, names of 10

flight of about 1000 miles, to
Western Poland and back, in which
propaganda pamphlets rather than
bombs we're shoWered on two Ger
man-occupied areas, was reported
today by the British Air Ministry.
1t was the first such flights since
the war began.
British officials refused to disclose
the contents of the pamphlets.
Commenting on that long distance
foray, which took place Saturday
night, British sources recalled that
bombing raids on Germany were
preceded by pamphlet attacks"
The venture was disclosed in con-
nection with an announcement that
Britain's offensive operations yester-
day included bombing of Dutch and
Belgian coastal objectives.
AS for Poland, the communique
said simply:
"On Saturday night, aircraft of
the bomber command dropped leaf
lets in the Katowice and Cracow
areas of Poland"
Other sources described it as the
longest operating flight by the R. A.
F. since the start of the war, far
exceeding the 1,20O-mile trips flown
by the British to bomb Northern
Italy's industries.
