MorteI Exposes cIo Plot Against
AFL Building Trades In Detroit

building material man who has just
signed a sweetheart agreement with
the CIO.
"The Currier Lumber Company of
Detroit, operated by Pat Currier, who
was involved in a strike with the
Teamsters' Union of that city in the
spring of this year, and whose hired
thugs murdered one of the teamster
members, was the low bidder on a
housing contract, even though he had
never built any houses or any other
kind of buildings around Detroit.
"Columnists, including Pegler, are
trying to make the American public
believe that Currier is legitimate
building contractor. But he is not.
They are trying to make the Ameri-
can public believe that the opposition
of organized labor in Detroit to the
awarding of this contract is because
Currier proposes to build it on a pre-
fabricated basis. AS a matter of fact,
American Federation of Labor union
contractors bid on this job on the
same specifications that Currier bid.

aimed at all of us-every man, wom-

cherish as Americans and free men.
The American people have, there

power that those freedoms, without
which free trade unions and free in

be taken away from them. To protect
those freedoms we shall, and must.
devote every bit of human, physical

LEGION Head Asks
Custer Of Bridges
Stambaugh Urges Repeal
OfNeutralitY Laws And
Hits Perkins

Seattle, Wash. - American Legion
Commander Lynn U. Stambaugh de-
manded the immediate deportation of
Harry Bridges, the resignation Of
Secretary of Labor Perkins and re-
peal of the neutrality laws in an ad-
dress before the American Federation
of Labor convention.
The newly elected legion head
praised the American Federation OF
Labor for its all-out efforts to aid the
national defense program and took a
sharp, if indirect, stand against the
CIO when he said
"When what purports to be labor
movement turns out to be Com
munist movement, it is quite likely to
run up against opposition from the
American Legion. Our opposition to
the alien Harry Bridges is a case in
point. We think it is unfortunate that
any important segment of labor
should be led by those who condone
his illegal acts and who thereby en-
dow any part of the American labor
movement with a leadership that is
un-American."
Regarding Secretary of Labor Per-
kins, Commander Stambaugh said:
"In the American Legion we have
been utterly frank in expressing our
lack of faith in the ability of Madam
Frances Perkins to function efficient
ly as Secretary Of Labor.
"This is said without prejudice to
Madam Perkins as woman and as a
social worker. 1t is concerned only
with her failure to meet the needs of
the crises that have followed one
upon another in the years she has
been in the Cabinet"

Defense Program
Urged BY Stdssen
Minnesota Governor Lduds
A. F. Of LIS No-Strike
Policy

Seattle, Wash.-Governor Harold E.
Stassen Of Minnesota made stirring
appeal in support of five-point pro-
gram for national defense and recon-
struction when the emergency ends;
in an address to the delegates to the
61st annual convention Of the Ameri
can Federation Of Labor here.
His plan included speeding up of
defense production, national unity in
support of the foreign policy of the
United States, preservation of the
rights of labor and free enterprise, a
gigantic public works construction
program after the defense crisis has
passed, and adequate labor represen-
tation at the peace conferences when
the war against the Axis powers ends
with Hitler's defeat.
Emphasizing the tremendous task
of adequately arming the United
States against aggression and at the
same time aiding countries "who are
courageously opposing the totalitar-
ian onslaught" Gov. Stassen urged
the necessity of speeding up produc-
ton to the limit. He praised the
American Federation Of Labor for its
policy of avoiding strikes in defense
industries and substituting the con-
ference room for the strike field, and
declared that management must not
take advantage of the reluctance OF
labor to strike or of the necessity OF
defense production" He said the pol
icy of government should be "clear
and definite against those abuses OF
employers that precipitate strikes"

All Members Urged
To Attend Meeting
Local Union AIS Entertuin-
ment Committee Asks
Assistance

Sebring, Ohio.-Local Union No. "a
ing the membership that the enter
tainment committee is striving hard
to create little more local appeal.
This committee needs help badly, how
about coming to your local meeting
next Monday night and giving them
a lift. Maybe you can dig out another
member to bring along.
In addition to the above reason for
attending local Monday night, there
will be a couple of other matters up
for discussion which every member
should know about. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
Local Union No. 44 has petitioned
headquarters for a reopening of the
wage agreement. This makes it
unanimous here in Sebring.
Once again death has struck within
the ranks of No. 44. This time it took
one of the best liked men in town,
Louie Thill. No. A paid it's respects
in a body and was lined up in twos
for fifty yards.
Work here is plentiful. There are
several jiggering jobs open in the diff
ferent shops that have orders for
from five to six thousand dozens on
their order sheets for a ten-day pay.
They can't even dent those kind of
orders.
1t has been brought to my atten-
tion on different occasions that several
people didn't know that our presi-
dents first name was Clarence. Read
ing Baldy's election placards they
didn't know Baldy and Clarence were
one and the same person. So when
you go to the polls don't be afraid Of
that name, Clarence, for he is our
own Badly.
Did you read President Duffy's
speech in the paper spoken on the
A. F. of L. convention floor. Brothers
and Sisters, want the world to know
that l for one believe him to be abso-
lutely right in his statements. AS
yet have been unable to find one per.
son who disagrees with him. l would
go as far as to say we have been un-
able to find anyone in Sebring who
doesn't agree with Mr.. Duffy on his
stand in the Seattle convention. o. c.

years. Up until few years ago, when
he had the misfortune of losing his

No True Freedom
For Youth Until
All Have Chance
National Youth Commission
Reports On Six Years
Of Research

Washington, D. C. 0LNS).-Neces-
sity Of full employment for both
youth and adult workers was stressed
by the National Youth Commission as
it met here to consider it's general re-
port on the care and education of the
nations youth, after six years of re-
search, experimental programs, and
demonstration projects.
The commission directed particular
attention to public work programs
for young people during it's opening
sessions. The commission has recon-
mended that they be maintained dur
ing the defense period, to the extent
that is necessary for work in national
defense and maintaining essential ac-
tivities in connection with conserva-
tion programs.
Full Employment Fundamental
Full employment in the postwar
period of both youth and adults will
be necessary to avoid an intensified
ton of the problems of youth result
ing from the present "boom," the
commission found as it noted that
during the depression years unem-
ployment was heaviest among youth
under Fl, and heavier in the age
group of 20-24 than in any older age
group.
"There is no doubt whatever that
the most fundamental problem of
youth is precisely the problem Of full
employment for all employable work
ers," Owen D. Young, chairman of the
commission, said.
"For most young people, true free
dom will never exist until we estab-
lish conditions which will maintain an
abundance of employment opportunity
in a free labor market" The sooner
the general problem of full employ
ment is solved, the sooner it will be
possible to dispense with the public
youth work programs or to reduce
them to the point where they are car.
ried on exclusively to provide needed
governmental services. Until this
problem is solved, it will be necessary
to continue providing appropriate
work programs, Chairman Young
commented.
Public Works Necessary
eve shall not come to financial dis
aster by maintaining an adequate
amount of public work as long as it is
needed" he said, noting that increases
in adult unemployment caused by dis
locations of peacetime industry in
some parts of the country are apt to
cause a corresponding increase in
youth unemployment as adult, ex-
perienced workers become available
for defense industries, taking jobs
that would otherwise be available to
youth.
The youth work programs are a
form Of productive activity, Young

gates to the A. F. of L. Convention
Seattle, Wash.-The American Fed
Grafton of Labor Executive Council
met Friday to dispose of 1941 conven'
tion affairs referred to it by the 60(
delegates, who adjourned sine die the
previous evening.
Visiting delegates began leaving fol
their homes Thursday night, after two
weeks of convention sessions II
Seattle.
The conventions last day was
marked by the suspending of the
Brewery Workers Union, picketing OF
the convention hall by Seattle weld
ers, and a farewell address by Viii.
liam Green, president, who said the
convention was one of the "greatest
ever held"
Aid to Russia was approved by the
delegates late Thursday, though with
the qualifications that Stain, if vic
torious, would be as dangerous to free
institutions as Hitler.
In other resolutions adopted, Brit.
ish labor was hailed as heroic; pro-
gram was recommended to prevent
unemployment created by defense
priority orders; payroll deductions fol
employees purchase of defense bonds
were indorsed, and persecution Of
Jews was denounced.
L. P. Lindelof, international presi-
dent of the Painters Union, an
nounced from the convention floor
that New York and Brooklyn locals
of his union were presenting check
for $6,250 for aid to British labor
unions. f
No issues of controversial nature
were among the many matters re,
ferred to the Executive Council.
Switch to c. l. O. Hinted
The controversy between the Brew
cry Workers Union and the Team
sters' Union, with the latter seeking
jurisdiction over brewery truck driv-
ers, was. marked by hints that the
Brewery Workers would transfer to
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions if dropped from the A. F. of l..
The Brewery Workers pleaded for
the issue to be referred to the Execu-
tive Council, but the delegates voted
3O,2O3 to 1,765, to suspend the Brew
cry Workers for not complying with
an order giving jurisdiction to the
teamsters. Only $4,000 of the $4,000
Brewery Workers are beer-truck
drivers, but the action of the conven-
ton suspends all members of the
union.

 But" said Carolyn anxiously, lis it like other little girls school dresses"
 She has, too, a sense of respon- sibility, expressed in tact, that's pretty grown n-up too. Her mother asked her whom she liked in Hol- lywood-Bob Hope?
 "Yeahl" she said eagerly, land Jack Benny and Helen Brod- erick."
 And Bing Crosby your new leading mann"
 That's hard to answer" the child answered. "It's kind of per- sonal."
 Mrs. Horch, the teacher, sup- piled the reason why Carolyn loves the comedians. She has sharp sense of huinor herself.

 IS-JUST ACTING HERSELF
By MARGUERITE YOUNG NEA Service Stan Writer

@NNNAA~ hA~~NAA NNA1W8A
 New YOrk-C Carolyn Lee, a very Rttle girl with e very big movie cone ract, has been cast ln a truly de- yaanding real-life role.
 This offstage role Of Carolyn's just-being herself, Carolyn.
 It may prove even harder for Carolyn to do than you'd expect, narder in fact than any part Hol- kayw0od can ever ask the actress, how seveas S0 perform before the saSneras. w
 Mrs. Evelyn Copp, her mother, yput itup to Carolyn straight, the lother day. She said, T want you ! to be yourself, like other little Igirls." Then to Carolyn's camera man Mrs. Copp explained, That's awhy, as soon as . picture is fin- ished, we 90 straight home to Martins Ferry, where the neigh borhoo6 kids will smack Carolyn down aa quickly as anybody else" SHE SHOWS
 MATURE POTSE
 Carolyn accepted this cornposedly. Offstage, now, she has the same adult poise, the same mobility and maturity of expression both when Ste's gay and when she's sad, as as- tonished you if you saw her in Par- amounts Virginia" and Honey noon in Ball."
 Sing Melancholy Baby like sing Crosby sings 1t with you in your new movie" Carolyn's pub- licity man asked her. She re- sponded perfectly spontaneously, I'm embarrassed. You know, l >eally can't carry e tune."

 "All right" said Carolyn, picls- Ing up the spoon. But you'll have eo understand = I'm & little con- used"
 Those are not seven-year-old words, "embarrassed," and 'con- tuSed," and there's 6 sample of N1e predicament Carolyn is in when she tries to be like other httle girls. She just isn't; she Is something extraordinary. She shows. As an actress, some of the same wunderkind qualities that Yehudi M2Snt4aAkp oaSpt@yeu aS h cnllu Vlo- hnist.

 A California psychology professor examined her recently and found she had an I. e. of l56, which is just four points shy of the genius rating.
 She has just taken another test, in New York, in which she scored extremely high.

 It was through an old friend of the Copps, who happened to manage e Paramount theater, that Carolyn was discovered" He saw her one day in a hotel, asked Mrs. Copp to send her photo graph to Hollywood. She did. Now Carolyn is under five-year contract, at $ll50 week for 2s weeks each year.
 Carolyn's father, Warren "Pinky" Copp Is a steel company engineer. He works near their home in Mar tins Ferry, West Virginia.
 When they wanted to test her for the movies" Mrs. Copp ex- plained recently, "Ptnky's first re- mark was When God gave her to us, why didn't he give us the brains to know what to do with her?' And said. Amen. Being the parents of Carolyn is quite 8 problem"
