have played larger part on the
wars home front than some of us
realize. Because the women of
Kennewiek-and of towns or cities
like it-have been solidly behind the
war savings drive, this country is
now putting billions of dollars yearly
into stamps and bonds.
. The women know its up to
Kennewick to back up our men in
the service and help finance the
tanks and guns and planes that will
shatter the Axis.
They don't have to be told that If
their families happiness and secur-
ity and way of life are to survive,
Democracy must survive; whatever
that survival costs them in personal
sacrifice, they don't have to be told
it's worth it, nor do they have to
be told that putting their dollars
ON the firing line is the soundest,
wisest, of investments. Doing most

CITY LINES REQUESTS
BUS FARE INCREASE

Increase of city bus fares from five
to six cents was requested by repre-
sentatives of the Hamilton City Lines,
Inc, Monday night, at Council caucus
in the Municipal Building.
The request was made by Joseph
Bowman and j. L. Nuber, bus line rep
resentatives, who cited demands of
employees for higher wages and in
creased costs of equipment, supplies,
and materials as the basis for their
petition.
Bowman told councilmen that the
company's agreement with the en-
ployes' union, an American Federation
of Labor affiliate, expired December /.
He said employees were receiving 62
cents an hour, but were seeking 75-
cents s-an-h hour rate. "Under present

Washington, D. C.-The Executive
Council of the American Federation of
Labor pledged that American workers
will do everything within their power
to put President Roosevelt's 56-bil-
lion-dollar victory production program
over the top on schedule or ahead of
schedule.
At the opening of it's regular mid
winter meeting, the Executive Council
gave the government an unrestricted
commitment of all-out support.
Because labor has everything at
stake in this war and because it has
the utmost confidence in the American
government, "the members of the
American Federation of Labor will
work harder, they will put in longer
hours and they will cheerfully assume
every sacrifice" to speed victory, the
council said.
In order to maintain the confidence
of the workers, to promote wider un-
derstanding of the need for sacrifices
and to assure continuous all-out CO.
operation, the Executive Council asked
that the American Federation of La
Dor be given representation on all gov
ernment agencies whose policies and
decisions affect the interests of the
workers. The council pointed out that
in England, where ''the men and
women of labor have worked like he
roes in their nations defense, labor
enjoys full representation in the gov
ernment and is consulted before any
policies affecting workers are put into
force"
The council emphasized that the A
F. of l.. does not seek the right to
manage industry, nor does it want to
encroach upon the managerial func-
tions of industry. The text of the
council statement follows:
"The American Federation of Labor
stands ready to carry out every re-

So billion dollar victory production
program.
eve have full confidence that Amer
lean labor and American industry, in
close cooperation with our govern
ment, will put this program over the
top on schedule or ahead of schedule.
"The President has told US that labor
must keep the wheels of industry turn
ing twenty-four hours day, seven
days a week. This can be done and it
will be done in every vital war indus
try. The American Federation of La
Dor, it's affiliated unions and its five
million members will do everything in
their power to see to it that it is done.
"The basic principle of the American
Federation of Labor always has been

which will increase war production by
practices (which prevent total war
effort" and win the peace on the dem
ocratic front by taking steps, both pri-
vate and public, adequate to maintain
as full production and employment for
the ends of peace as we will achieve
for the purposes of war"
Auto Industry Scored
A vigorous statement was also ap-
proved which was critical of the re-
calcitrance of sections of the automo-
bile industry in refusing to accept the
recommendation of government, labor
and the Army and the Navy to grant
full powers to joint committees for
conversion of the automobile industry
to war production. American lives"
the statement read, must not be sac
rificed because of the reluctance of
industrial interests to share their po-
sitions of economic control"
The Union for Democratic Action
was formed in May of last year to ex-
press liberal point of view on both
foreign and domestic issues. In mat
ters of foreign policy, it was vigor-
ously interventionist. In domestic af-
fairs, it supported the liberal tenden-
cies of the administration and made
concrete proposals for further demo-
cratization of the defense program.

State Department and Auto Industry Criticized.

New York City (ILNS) DIR. Frank
Kingdom, chairman of the New York
Fight for Freedom Committee to De-
fend America, has been named presi-
dent of the Union for Democratic
Action, which was completely reor-
ganized and expanded in order to give
vigorous expression to a liberal pro-
gram on the conduct of the war and
the terms of democratic peace.
Under the reorganization which was
agreed upon at a conference of Amer
lean liberal and labor people meeting
here, DIR. Reinhold Niebuhr of the
Union Theological Seminary will re-
main as chairman of the organization
and Dr. James Loeb, Jr., as executive
secretary.
State Department Hit
The conference, after authorizing
organizational changes in the union
and working out basic set of princi-
pies, gave it's attention to two issues
of immediate Importance. The posi-
tion taken by the State Department in
regard to the French islands of ST.
Pierre and Miquelon recently taken
over by Free French forces, was bit
terly condemned and President Roose-
welt was urged to reverse the position
expressed in the statement of Secre-
tary Hull and to make organizational
and personnel changes in the State
Department to bring it into line with
the general program of the American
people. This was asked, ''in order to
make clear to our friends throughout
the world, especially in France itself,
that we welcome their heroic support
of our common cause"
The decisions made represent a
complete realignment of progressive
forces in this country" it was an
nounced. The basic principles adopted
laid particular emphasis on foreign
policy (which combines a political
with military offensive against the
Axis powers" and a domestic policy

that labor's first duty is to America.
This is especially true now that Amer
lea is at war against the enemies of
democracy. Labor has everything at
stake in this war. Unless America is
victorious, all the gains that the trade
union movement has won will be wiped
out and American workers will be en-
slaved.
with this clear realization in mind,
the members of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor will work harder than
ever before, they will put in longer
hours and they will cheerfully assume
every sacrifice our government calls
the war.
"We have full confidence in the pur-
poses and policies of the American
government. We know that the gov
ernment is trying to protect American
standards, not to destroy them. Be-
cause of this confidence, the members
Of the American Federation of Labor
are responding to the nations call
for service in glorious way.
'In order to maintain this conf
dence, in order to promote full under
standing of the need for sacrifices and
in order to assure continuous, all-out
production effort, the Executive Coun-
Gil asks that the American Federation
of Labor be represented on all govern
ment boards and agencies whose poll
cies and decisions will directly affect
the interests of American workers.
"If hours of work must be length
ened, if conditions of work must be
changed, no one is better qualified than
the representatives of the American
Federation of Labor to give practical
counsel and advice in the formulation
of such new policies. If additional sac
rifices must be called for from time
to time, no one is in better position
to convince the workers of America of
their necessity than the represent
atives of the American Federation of
Labor who have played part in reach
ing such decisions.
"This is not revolutionary theory.
1t is not new or untried experiment.
The experience of Great Britain, where
labor is fully represented in the gov
ernment, where labor always is con-
suited before rulings affecting labor
are put in force and where the men
and women of labor have worked like
heroes in their country's defense,
should teach us the value of labor's
contributions to all-out war effort in
a free land.

make it clear that it does not ask for
