Capital Transit Co. streetcar
and bus operators today were ad-
vised officially by their interna-
tional union that its policy and that
Of the American Federation Of La
Dor, its affiliate, are opposed to
creed. color or nationality discrimi-
nation.
The union declaration was made
public by the Presidents Committee
on Fair Employment Practice in
announcing that it had been official
ly informed by transit officials that
the company would bring the en-
ployment policy of the bus and troll
ley system into line with Executive
Order No. 1902"
A War Industry.
This presidential order forbids
discrimination against war workers.
The transit company was recently
ruled by the War Manpower Com
mission to be war industry.
The committees statement ex-s
planned that the transit company
held contract with the Amalga-
mated Association of Street, Electric
Railway and Motor Coach Employees
of America. 1t said w. D. Mahon,
international president, had written
to J. c. Bigelow, local union presi-
dent, in which he urged that local
members consider "the fact that we
are now engaged in a war in which
the colored man is called on to do
the same line of duty that the white
man is called on to do
No Accident Data on Race.
The committee said the Mahon
letter was in response to one from
Mr.. Bigelow requesting information
regarding colored men in other di-
visions of the union and their acci-
dent record Mr.. Mahon advised
that "in many places colored men
are employed in this line of trans
portation and in many of our organ
izations there have been colored
men holding membership"
The international president added
no separate records were available
concerning the difference of acci-
dents between colored and white
and there is no difference so far
as I can find out in that line of
work. These records show the same
as any ones so far as their work is
concerned"
Mr.. Mahon declared further that
any discrimination that would at
tract public attention at this time
would be very detrimental" He sug-
gested that union members here
realize the situation and try to
meet it in line with the policy of
the organization"

That distinguished annual visitor, Kris

This war will not be won by men alone! It will not be won by
women alone! It will be won by the full participation of both!
During the coming year, the majority of our men will be called
upon for active front line figtng. The responsibility for supplying
these men with the fighting equipment they need. will fall largely
upon the women now in our shops, and many women new to industry
who will soon come onto the production line.
To effectively meet their responsibility, VI women must have
a full understanding of the issues at stake in this war. On one side
are the brutal forces of Fasism which not only enslave the people
and relegate women to Kitchen, children, and home" but also
destroy all sembence of freedom of speech, organization, and decent
living standards. On our side are the forces of democracy, liberty,
fraternity and the right of the common man! If the forces of freedom
are to triumph, the women must be prepared to play a major role
on the home front
The responsibility of women on the home front is two-fo1d ~
to produce the fighting equipment for u men at the front lines, ()
to maintain and extend the standards of living and working conditions
which make our Nations workers a free people.
We are calling upon the resources of every Local in this District
to help meet the problem of organizing and achvising shop women,
by sending delegates to this conference in order that plans may be
laid for complete mobilization of our WOMEN to WIN the WAR!
It shall be the purpose of this conference to accomplish the
inauguration of a program which will enable every Local to-:
l. Maintain and extend its gains within the shop regardless
of the loss of men from the shop.
z Educate and acivize its women to take full responsibility
for the well being of the Local Union.
:. Prepare our women for essential participation in Civic and
Governmental affairs which bear upon the welfare of our workers
and fighters.
THE TASKS WHICH LIE AHEAD ARE GREAT E.

Nelson Urges
Holiday

Dondald M. Nelson, Chairman of
the War Production Board, this
week urged observance of the
Christmas Holiday by war-plants
and workers.
He issued the following state
ment:
During this year of war there
have been nj full holidays In wal
production With patriotic zeal,
management and workers in our
mines and factories have made
even such traditional holidays as
independence Day and Labor Day
days of steady unbroken produc-
ton. It has been necessary to do
this, because of the overwhelm-
ing need to turn out munitions
and essential equipment in the
greatest possible volume without
delays or interruption, and the
country has recognized this need
and has met it.
"More than ever before IN our
lives, I suppose, we need this year
to pause from our labors on
Christmas Day and think deeply
and humbly about the faith by
which we live, in order that from
the profound promise of this day
we may draw the hope and the
vision which we mus have. On the
Prince of Peace we can and should
rest from the production of the
weapons of war.
therefore, except for such
maintenance and standby opera
tons as are necessary for best pro-
duction efficiency, I hope that in
all war plants where it can pos
sibly be done Christmas Day this
year will be observed as a full
holiday.

MOMENTS
ACTIVITIES
by Marinen Ambrose

We have had a very unusual and
unique experience in the past two
months of serving on the United
Labor for Victory committee. We
found that our fellow Union men,
bers in the other Unions that par
ticipated in the United Labor for
Victory program were just the
same as you and I. We are all
interested in the same thing. The
advancement of wages, working
conditions, and the maintaining of
them.
Despite newspaper reports to
the contrary, we found that our
relations with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor members on the
committee were very harmonious.
We further realized that Organized
Labor, and by that we mean, all
Organized Labor, think along the
same lines we do. We have the
same ideals, and lastly, we are all
Americans and proud of the way
our Unions are serving our
country in time of need.
During the many discussions in
which we took part the thought
entered u mind, that the women
of Dayton have a glorious oppor-
tunity at hand. Now, as never
before, women can serve their
country, as well as the men.
By taking the place of our
brothers, our husbands, or our
sweethe arts. in the Mills the
factries, the stores and the offices,
women today are gloriously up
holding the standards of Amer
icanism.
Today, as never before, we are
realizing that there is only room
for one Ism" in our nation. That
"ism'' is Americanism.
