FLORIDA SUPREME
COURT REFUSES TO
STOP SUIT, REPORT

Tallahassee, Fla. (ILNS). - The
Florida Supreme Court has refused to
stop a suit through which Attorney
General Watson is attempting in
lower court to invalidate closed union
shop contracts between the Tampa
-Shipbuilding Company and 19 Amerl-
can Federation of Labor unions. The
decision was to 3. There was no
written opinion.
The court was asked by the unions
to stop the suit because they were not
parties to it. They said they would
have no opportunity to defend their
rights in the contracts unless they
were heard in the court.
Watson replied that his suit con-
cerned what he described as an invalid
contract by the Tampa Shipbuildlng
Company because it's charter from the
state did not give it authority to make
closed shop labor contracts.

MAKE CANDIDATES DECLARE
STAND

Supporters of the fight to get rid
of the undemocratic poll tax in eight
Southern states have an important OBJ
legation in shaping the attitudes of
Representative and Senators to be
elected this fall toward this crucial
question.
While there is every likelihood that
Congress will act this session on the
poll tax bills, and probably send them
to the White House for certain ap-
proval, still we must recognize the
necessity of preparing for a finish
fight in the 18th Congress if necessary.
To that end, unions, civic groups,
clubs, patriotic societies taking part
in the struggle to abolish the poll tax
must make sure that candidates of all
parties declare themselves unequivo-
cally on this issue.
Delegations should wait upon all
candidates without delay and demand
uneqIivocal commitments on the poll
tax issue.

men ASKED TO HELP
FILL SOLDIERS KITS

Muskegon, Mich. - Men have been
given their inning with the production
department of the Muskegon County
Red Cross chapter as the result OF
demands for kit bags for Uncle Sans
soldiers and sailors.
With the kit bags being prepared
by the women in the chapter produc-
tion office, union members here are
purchasing the articles to fill them.
Mrs. Dave Bargy, chapter director OF
production, announces that the chapter
has a quota of 500 bags. Cost of one
bags contents is between $1.50 and
$500. Each bag holds small soap
box and soap, deck of playing cards,
package of cigarette, shoe polishing
cloth, small pencil with metal cap, en-
velopes and writing paper, chewing
gum, shoelaces, waterproof match
box, package of double-edged razor
blades, pocket-size reading book and
sewing case including three each OF
various types of buttons. Similar kits
are being prepared by each Red Cross
chapter in the country.
First to volunteer to fill the bags
was Muskegon Typographical Aux
iliary 1913. Kits will be given to SOL
diers and sailors at the time of en-
barkation for overseas.

The minor ambitions crop up in this
war to bedevil the major issue.
The minor ambitions look big to
those who have them.
People get things out of their true
perspective = they get cross-eyed in
seeing things.
Take Mohandas K. Gandhi, who has
come to be known as the spiritual
leader of the people of India.
And the mis-named All-India Con-
gress Party. 1t isn't all-India Think
twice and you'll know that as of today
nothing COULD be all-India.
But Gandhi sets up immediate free
dom for India as the major issue.
Doesn't a wise man KNOW that
there is only ONE major issue and
that it is VICTORY FOR FREEDOM!

''Our house has been fortified.

Two more quotations from Swedish

protect itself are timely. Premier Per
Albin Hanson said in speech open
ing the political campaign:
II strongly believe that Sweden will
steer clear of difficulties, but it is pos

hold dear, but if we do l know that

Preventable Accidents Killed
lO2,5OO, Cost Four Billion in
l94l, Safety Council Reveals
Time Loss is Big Blow at War Production, Says Annual
Statistical Yearbook Accident Facts'-Trafic Acct
dents Largest Factor in Rolling Up Death Total

Chicago (ILNS).-Accidents, 81 per
cent of them preventable, killed more
than 100000 persons and cost the ma
tion $4,OO0,000,0OO in 1941, the Ma
tional Safety Council announced in
issuing it's annual statistical yearbook,
Accident Facts"
Even more important, the safety
council said, was the productive time
lost through occupational accidents
alone. On-the-job accidents killed 49,
900 workers, injured 100000, cost
$3.50, 100000 and resulted in the loss
of 46O 100000 man-days of work dur
ing 1941.
Huge Toll of Injured
This lost time was the equivalent of
work that could have been done by
100000 new workers, and came at a
time when every hour lost delayed war
production needed for victory.
All-accident totals in 1941 Gn-
Guiding occupationaD were 1922
500 killed, $4,000 permanently
disabled, and $780, 900 injured.
Traffic accidents were the largest
factor in rolling up the death and in
jury total, the council said. Motor
vehicles accounted for 10000 dead,
100000 injured, and a cost of ST.
9OO,0O0,OOO.
Home Accidents Second
Accidents in the home ranked next.
They killed 31,50O, injured 4,650,000
and cost $60O,0OO,0O0.
Other public accidents of all kinds
killed an additional $4,000, injured

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS
DOWN

Automobile drivers apparently de-
cided last year that it was better to
pick on something their own size or
less when they had their collisions.
At any rate, street cars and railroad
trains lost favor in 1941 as collision
partners for automobiles.
The 1912 edition of Accident
Facts" the National Safety Councils
accident statistics yearbook, says:
Every type of motor vehicle acci-
dent, except collisions with street
cars, showed higher fatality total
in 1941 than in 1910.
"The bulk of the total increase came
in collisions between motor vehicles,
which were up "a per cent; collisions
with bicycles, up 20 per cent; COLI
sions with fixed objects, up % per cent,
and non-collision accidents, up 21 per
cent"
And on the subject of grade cross
ings Accident Facts" says:
death from motor vehicle-train
collisions at grade crossings numbered
1884 in 1941. This was even fewer
than occurred in 1923, when motor We

THOSE Americans who decry po-

think as one, along the lines OF regi-
mentation as enforced in Fascist and
Communist nations, might study with

Here is a little nation, in deadly
danger of invasion from one or both
of the forces in the world war. Yet
Sweden, while constantly on the alert

Whatever interferes with winning
the war for freedom is something a
lot worse than a secondary issue.
Gandhi, who is a very clever poll
tician and darned good publicity
man, has managed to win for himself
great deal of respect among the lib
erals of the world.
He got started by playing on the
theme of imperialistic Britain.
The horrible Britain that exploited
subject peoples.
Well, maybe he had something there
at one time-but the free peoples of
the world would like to rise up at this
hour and tell him that he hasn't got
anything there today. Not anything
at all.
Because to demand today what the
Gandhi cabal has demanded is to pave
the road for the Axis.
An India today, minus British pres
ence, would be chaos, split between
religions which have between the bit
terest of all bitterness.
We have in Mr. Gandhi the finest
example extant of the extreme, the
mystical, but also intensely practical,
fanatic.
AS this is written there are reports
that Gandhi has been arrested, that
he will hunger strike to death, and
other rumors
Perhaps Gandi will-or would-hun-
ger strike to the death. He has gone
almost that far before.
But no personality and no idea is
big enough to get in the way of giving
the Axis the complete works.
We are in shape to NOT win this
war this year and maybe not next
year.
We are not in position where we
can trife with our chances, or play
tag with ideas that bother the war
machine even a little bit.
Mr.. Gandhi may have lived in a
world SO far removed from the hatch
ing and forming of the war issue that
he grasps everything else, except
that. Maybe.
We have in our own country some
who, on a lesser scale, would trife
with victory for the sake of hobby
or an appetite.
We have some labor officials who
are like that, too.
But at the moment Gandhi is the
classical example, the mystical but
dynamic example. But a half pint
physically, standing ever on a plat
form of self-abnegation, he makes an
appealing and also pitiful figure.
He wants nothing material, but he
seems nightly to want oWer-some
kind of power.
And so India, if he has his way, will
be flung sprawling across the war pro-
gram of the United Nations.
The hopes of mankind throughout
the world must, it seems, be endan-
gered because of the misguided ambi-
tions of an almost unreal son of
Mother India.
Somehow, THAT MUST NOT BE!

A. Irwin of the United States Steel
Corporation, has been established by
leading business men and Industrial

Commenting on the staggering loss
inflicted by accidents in 1941, irwin
said:
"We Americans have been killing
ourselves and each other at a record
breaking rate. Since the beginning of
the war, the vaunted Luftwaffe of the
Nazis has killed 43,300 English civil
ians in mass air raids the like of which
the world had not dreamed. But in
one year we killed 102,500 Of our fel-
low Americans through accidents

WHAT NEXT?

A contract for the construction of
1000 plywood lifeboats, the first of
their kind ever built, has been awarded
to the Gunderson Bros, Portland,
Oregon. The new plywood vessels have
passed Coast Guard regulations and
are said to have certain advantages
over metal boats. Described as a new
development in lifeboat production
the new boats will be 22 feet long, and
one out of every four to be placed on
Liberty ships will be self propelled.
