HEAD Halls STATE
A.F.L. WAR RECORD

Newark, N. J. (ILNS).-Unions at
fliated with the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor have made IAN
enviable record" in regard to strikes
in the last two years, President Louis
P. Marciante of the federation told
the organizations sixty-fourth annual
convention He pointed out that he
had urged the American Federation OF
Labor to forego use of the strike on
defense work more than two years
ago.
Marciante declared that since he
made his strike plea, only one strike
of any consequence has occurred. He
held the employers responsible for
this walkout
"In this state" he said, "war prof.
ects were completed on or ahead of
time Fort Dix was the cheapest and
most efficiently constructed of any
similar project in the country"
Speaking Of labor unity, Marciante
said:
Labor as a whole is prepared to
forget and bury all animosities and
rivalries for our country's sake"
Vincent j. Murphy, mayor of New
ark and secretary treasurer of the
state federation, urged expansion of
the personnel of the National War La
Dor Board so that it can give prompt
attention and quick action in labor
disputes" Murphy added:
Labor has been placed at a serious
disadvantage with the public because
many unions are forced to vote
strike and set a date for such action
in order to attract the attention of
the WLB."
Mayor Murphy declared that labor
opposed freezing of wages and bases
it's opposition on the fact that prices
and rents have scared and wages have
not risen in proportion

battle and conquest
But this cold -blooded, ferocious
stripping peoples of their food
Knowing that old folks, women anc
children, must starve-
Making it part of a campaign OF
subjugation, after conquest
Program laid down for decades
after, aiming at degradation
Cutting jugular veins of civilization
and decent living
This poisonous Nazi venom of ulti-
mate elimination of mentality
That becomes something that you
want to fight about
Because it aims at the standards OF
whole world of decent living
Striking at taproots of every source
of liberty
Americans want that thing extir-
pated-
Dragged out by it's roots, wherever
they go.
Yes, sir
We know what we are fighting
about
And if you are not on our side in
this fight
You'd better not get in our way
For this is supreme manifesto
ton
Of THE AMERICAN WAY.

What are we fighting for?

What are we fighting for?
Well, they started it, didn't they?
That was the answer which foored
the isolationists-
America had been turning the other
cheek, for quite while
But when the Japs jumped US from
behind, that settled it
Since then we have been simply
fighting back
But meanwhile, we are looking over
the lay of the land
Now we ask: "What in hell are
these Japs fighting for?"
Since Nazi submarines moved in on
our water fronts
We get more curious about what
these vermin are after, too.
They are fighting for the Axis Way
of Life
At first Hitler complained about the
"War guilt" charge
They even had a few Britishers and
Americans on their side

"He never told me. Father is very careful. And since they brought us here I have had no chance to talk with him. Every day. at six in the afternoon, two guards bring him to the shore of that island. We see each other and wave our hands. They do that so I'll know he's all right and he'll see I am. don't believe they ill- treat him, but oh, he seems to lok 20 years older than when we left the statesl"

 No seen him. He waves his hands. You look out Kay, or sometime when he's chatting with you he'll get really excited and maybe give you @ nasty clip on the jaw"
 She drew back her head at that and laughed. It was ripping little laugh, musical as a run on teh piano, and 1t did queer things to Allan's insides. He regarded her more closely, and suddenly he was comparing her with Asia. It was like comparing a meadow daisy to an orchid, or 0 drink of spring water to zombie cocktail. And If orchids and zombies are all right in their way, he unused, a man does better over the long hard pull on Q diet of daisies and water. He wondered If he was zoe ing to fall in love with Kay Sar- gent
 Who is De Fontanellep" he asked, and actually sounded Q trifie jealous. Whats he doing herep"
 Hes a prisoner -- like us. He came the day after I did. He's a geologist, he told me. He was prospecting those mountains over there for mineral deposits when the Japanese picked him up. They said he was spying on them. He says they're crazy"
 "Yeah2 If they're crazy, it's in a big way. The chief of the outfit is general and 8 baron; next in command is a Japanese Army col- onel, and there's Q scientist with eyes as sharp as microScopesl Very distinguished bunch of lunatics, I'd say. But this De Fontanelle - what Is he politically That counts nowadays"
