LABOR RACKETEER
RIDES FOR A FALL

THAT THE UNION labor racke-
teer is riding to fall is evident
from the testimony of Thurman Ar
mold, assistant attorney general Of
the United States, before the house
judiciary committee. He accused
these racketeers with disregarding
every right of the farmer, the small
business man and small manufac-
turer, and hampering the distribu-
ton of civilian necessities in time
of war. He demanded legislation
that would force union leaders to
disclose their receipts and to hold
elections in such way as to permit
member workmen to choose leaders.
He said that under existing laws, the
justice department could do nothing
to protect the farmer, the small
business man or the consumer.
The American people will not
long permit such condition to con-
tinue and American workmen do
not want it to continue. Organized
labor made great and rapid ad-
vances over the past half century.
Under such conditions it had public
support. Today a great portion of
labor unions are not being conduct
ed on democratic lines. They are
ruled by dictators, their members
have no voice in their control. The
dictators levy tribute on members,
on employers, on classes, and on the
general public, without accounting
to anyone for the receipts from such
tribute.
The end of it all will be a definite
loss for the workers of America. It
will mean a punishment for the just
workman because of the actions of
the unjust racketeer.
What American labor needs is an
other Samuel Gompers.

THE WAYS OF A JAP
AND THE AMERICAN WAY

AND THE AMERICAN WAY
TOTO IS A JAP, an American
born Jap, but in wartime, because
of the recognized nature of the race,
a Jap is Jap, regardless of his
place of birth.
Toto and his Japanese wife and
children cultivated, as his Japanese
born father did before him, few
acres near the little California city
in which am writing. There he has
raised beans, carrots, peas, lettuce
and other vegetables and many flow
ers. He and all his family worked
from before sunrise to after sunset
each day of the week and year at
growing things, cleaning them, ty-
ing them into punches and selling
them at so low price as to defy
competition on the part of garden
ers of other nationalities.
OF the Americans who know Toto,
no one would have thought to ques-
ton his loyalty to America, but nei-
ther would anyone guarantee that
loyalty. That is thing you cannot
do with Jap, wherever born.
Because his blood and ways are
those of Japan, he was forced to
move. He could not be trusted to
remain near the seacoast where he
might-though no one believed he
would-aid other Japs in bringing
war to America. When an Ameri-
can officer told him he and his fami-
ly must leave, he accepted the ver-
dict with the stoical calm of his
race. He did not protest his loyalty.
He did not offer any criticism or
complaint. He packed up the SIM
pie personal belongings of his fam
ily and did as he was told.
Today Toto and his family are liv-
ing in Owens valley, California. Un-
Gle Sam has provided them with a
better house than they have ever
known before. They have all the
home conveniences of America
conveniences and comforts some
Americans, though they have the
money, cannot buy today because
the materials are needed for war
production. They have a we'll
watered garden patch, with fertile
soil. They are provided with better
food than they have had. The acres
they have left are under the care of
a competent government custodian.
When the war is over, when the
race from which Toto comes has
been defeated, he and his family
will go back to the acres, to the
vegetables and flowers from which
they were removed as a precaution
against possible disloyalty.
There are thousands of Totos
along the western coast of America.
Among them are some who are the
nations enemies. The enemies are
undoubtedly small percentage of
the total, but which are loyal and
which are not, it is impossible to
| judge. America cannot afford to
take chances, but while providing
for our protection, we, as Chris
tan nation, provide also for the
care and comfort of those we mis-
trust. The Jap Totos are of that
| class.

MUCH PLEASED WITH
TEST OF NEW SIREN

Naval officials today said they
are entirely satisfied with the pre-
liminary tests of the new air raid
siren which was conducted on
Thursday afternoon. The siren is
one of five which is to be placed
in operation by the Navy on the
island.
With additional equipment
which is en- route to Key West, the
five sirens when turned on stimuli
taneously can easily be heard for
more than three miles or to all
points on the island, it is believ-
ed. The one siren which was
tested on Thursday afternoon was
heard, according to reoprts. more

explained.
Additional tests will doubtless
ly be conducted when all of the
equipment is placed in operation.

LOWING DEFEAT
tgy Associated PressD

DARWIN, Nov. 21.-Closer and
closer to eBuna from two quarters,
Allied troops are approaching
the Americans from the south
east and the Australians from the
Northwest. The latter, during
their advance since yesterday,
had several spirited clashes with
the Japanese during one of which
the latter left the field strewn
with their dead. So hot did the
Australians make it for the Japs,
seven of their Zero planes made
several attempts to machine-gun
the Australians.
So far as the Allies have been
able to learn, the Japs at Buna
have not yet received any supplies
or endorsements. Allied planes
bombed two ships at Rabaul,
New Britain, that are believed to
have been loaded with troops and
supplies intended to relieve the
garrison at Buna. >
The marines at Guadalcanal
were reported today to have start
ed "cleaning-up campaign" :.
They feel confident, the report
said, they can now wipe out the
Japs remaining on that island.

CHARGES VIOLATION OF
LAW AGAINST PERSONS
.LOITERING NEAR DOCKS

Commander C.. H. Hilton, USCG,
commanding officer of the Coast
Guard Base here, said today that
there had been repeated violations
of the new City Ordinance NO.
426, passed November 10. which
makes it unlawful for any person,
without proper authority, 10
roam around, smoke, loiter,
sightsee or be otherwise found
within 100 feet of any dock. ship
yard, bridge, airport, or other de-
Tense work within the city limits
of Key West
Commander Hilton said, The
probable reason for the violations
is that many people do not yet
know of the passage OF the new
ordinance. However, there are
plenty of teeth 10 the new law
which permits any defense work
err or officer in charge of such de-
Tense facilities to make an imme-
date arrest, without warrant, OF
any person caught violating the
ordinance"
The ordinance was passed on
It's third and final reading before
the City Council on Tuesday, No
vember 10. and was signed by
William A. Freeman, president of
the council. and was approved by
Mavor Willard NJ Albury. The
ordinance went into immediate
effect.

Matters Bearing On New
Charter Also Taken Up
AT Special Session Of
Board Held Last Night

The City Council met in spe-
cial session last night for the
purpose of discussing matters
pertaining TO the proposed new
charter which is to be drawn up
and presented at the next meet
ing of the state legislature.
A letter was read from Com
mander c. H. Hilton of the
United States Coast Guard Serv-
ice, requesting permission to
fence off that portion of the
northwest end of Duval street
running along the property of
the Porter Dock Company. The
request was granted with a pro-
vision that commercial vehicles
be permitted to enter the dock
property to obtain oil and carry
on other necessary business.
Attorney Aquilino Lopez, rep
resenting the Key West Realty
and Investment Company prop
critics, addressed the board re-
questing that a reduction be
made in taxes on some of the
properties in question, which
the companies feel have been
over assessed. the matter was
referred to the taxation and
records committee.
Several amendments were pro-
posed to the Telephone Com
pany's franchise, one of which
was that the company furnish
the city with nine telephones
without charge.
Another provision was that
the use of the free phones be
accepted in lieu of a franchise
tax, with one special phone TO
be installed free for exclusive
use by the police department in
receiving calls at the jail.
A provision was also inserted
that the company would be
obliged to run conduits under
ground instead of overhead in the
event that the city should adopt
this method, should it become
necessary. in the expansion OF
the city's business in the future.

JUST LIKE TOOTH BRUSH
War; Time Ration Book
Will be indispensable

A wartime rationing book within a
short time is going to be just as COM
mon and indispensable as a tooth
brush or pocket comb, the office OF
war information, whose job is to keep
the public informed, declares.
Everyone will carry a rationing
book-possibly more than one-for a
number of commodities may be ra-
toned. The first book of four planned
for the "all-purpose" rationing al
ready has been sent to the govern
ment printing Office in Washington
One hundred fifty million of them will
be printed.
The design of the book makes pos
sible its use for straight coupon ra-
tioning, such as is now used fol
sugar, or for use of the point system
whereby the consumer may "spend'
his ration in various grades and kinds
of a general type commodity. The
first book is adequate for rationing OF
at least two major groups Of COM
modities for minimum of six months
1t contains 1872 coupons on eight pages
each page a separate color and each
coupon designated by number anc
letter.
Consumers will receive their books
