WILLIAMS IS SURE
OF BATTING TITLE
FOR SECOND YEAR

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. CUP) -
With little more than week of the
regular season to go, Ted Williams
of the Boston Red SoX appeared
assured today of retaining the Amer
ican league hitting crown he won
last year with an average of .406.
Official averages of games played
through Thursday, showed Williams
leading his nearest competitor by
81 points. He has an average of 1856
against 1886 for his teammate, John
Pesky.
In the National league, Ernie Lom-
bardi, Boston Braves catcher, held
an II point margin over Pete Reiser
of Brooklyn, last years senior cir
cult batting champion. With 1O
games to play Reiser could repeat
if he went on hitting spree, and
even Enos Slaughter OF the St
Louis Cardinals. although 13 points
off the pace, has a chance.
Lombardi who took over the lead
last week when Reiser continued
in a slump is hitting .331. Reiser's
average is .320 with Slaughter .318
Williams also practically is as
sured of three other American
league batting titles. He leads ir
runs batted in, 1873; most runs, 1876;
and home runs, 33.

QUICK ACTION NEEDED

DECLARING TT is time for plain speaking and
~ that it is obvious we can lose the war, the
American Federation of Labor monthly survey
warns there is not moment to lose in war pro-
ductOn.
''Yet we find many cases where deliveries are
far behind schedule because employers refuse to
subcontract war work, where available capacity is
not being used OF where prime contractor refuses
"a subcontIact to plant ready for immediate pro-
ducton in order to favor company which cannot
be ready for weeks or MONTHS" the survey
charges.
Calling on the Government to correct these
ABUSES and put ali available capacity on war work
lat once, the AEL says labor has been making every
effort to speed war production.
"When employers delayed conversion to wal
work." the AFL points out, eve have insisted on
immediate conversion. When found other en-
poyers who bid repeatedly contracts with
out securing orders, through our representa-
tives on the War Production Board, we helped to
bring war work to their plants. We have worked
steadily through our representatives in war agen-
cies to keep work forces intact, prevent uncmpoy-
ment speed war production"
The survey places much Of the responsibility
for the production leg on the War Production
Board. apparently the board has not taken steps
20 correct glaring delays it says and calls on the
board to act quickly to correct the situation.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1942-02-19

PREVENTING ACCIDENTS is war work of first
Importance. Accidents kill and MAIN workers,
thus cutting production at time when it is des-
perately needed. Every man killed on the job OF
made temporarily idle by an accident, is blow
to the war effort.
These facts were emphasized in recent radio
address by l.. Metcalfe Walling, administrator Of
the Walsh-Healey public contracts act. Speaking
on the Labor News Review program of WJSV,
Washington, he said:
"No greater service can be performed to the
American people, other than seeing to it that there
is not another Pearl Ilarbor, than to prevent our
vital production from being cut down by industrial
for the important thing about accidents
is that 80 per cent of them can be prevented"
There are difficulties in the way of accident
Mr.. Walling admitted, of them
being the large number of young workers without
previous experience and inclined to be careless who
are now entering industry.
"They must be made to realize he said "that
it is just as important and just patriotic for
them to serve their country by taking care not to
I'M lure themselves and other workers and to turn
our production as it is for the brave men who are
fighting the Japanese in the Philippines to resist
with all their power"
The truths pointed out by Mr.. Walling can be
boiled down to the statement thaat protection of
workers from accidents helps production and con-
tributes powerfully toward speedy victory.
