Tons Of Toilet Goods Tubes
Are Salvaged Every Month

Washington, d. C. The tube-for-
tube exchange over toilet goods coun-
ters is now netting war production 4O
tons a month of critical metal, accord
ing to a statement made by Paul
Cabot, deputy director of WPB's Con-
servation Division.
This amount does not satisfy either
WPB officials or the Tin Salvage In
stitute, reclaimers of tin tube contain
ers for the government. The lnsti-
tute estimates that during the first
three months of 1912 the American
public consumed monthly average of
over 600 tons of metal in tubes. On
this basis a far larger amount should
be salvaged.

But the writer pulls himself together
and scolds the Danes for not realizing
that Bolshevism is the real danger
and that only Nazi Germany can pro-
tect them against these treaty break
ers.
He says that the Danish political
parties and the press and the whole
Danish public treat this danger as
trivial, and all they are worried about
are these inherited values of theirs,
which they cling to as the only way
in which small people can assure
it's continued existence.
The Danes even work for revival
of the idea of United Scandinavia,
but for the sole purpose of separating
themselves more effectively from the
New Europe.
Worse still, because they fear the
loss of liberty of thought, faith and
action, large groups still look to Eng
land!
The fact that our plane and tank
production is today well ahead of the
projected plan, and the fact that our
shipyards are rapidly solving the
transportation problem, bellies the
thought that RECOMMENDATION of labor
is the answer to production. On the
contrary, complete mastery by the
United Nations in air, land and water
equipment - which will shortly be
theirs, if indeed it has not already
come about - will be ample proof of
the efficiency of our democratic meth
DDS of production. 1t will also be COM
pelling evidence that our ideas and
ideals of democracy in labor are not
only sound in theory and practice, but
that they produce the potency to de-
fend them against agsressors through
out the world. - Senator James M.
Mead of New York

UNIONS APPOINT
LIASONS TO OPA

Washington, D. C. ILNS).-Repre-
sentatives of the A. F. of L. and the

tration as liaison men between their
organizations and the OPA. The CIO

erhood of Teamsters, New York City,
and the representative of the railroad
unions is Glenn R. Atkinson, of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, Gin
cinnati, 0.
Appointment of the labor men is
part of a general OPA program of es-
tablishing closer relations with the
labor movement, and follows on the
heels of the appointment of Labor
Policy Committee to the OPA which
includes three representative each of
the A. F. of L., CIO, and railroad
unions.
Before coming to the OPA, Atkin-
son was legislative clerk for the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks and

tin. From 1928 to 1910, he acted as
assistant director of research for the
same union, after having entered the
labor movement in 1923 as an organ
izer for the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America in Chicago.

L., was one of the original organizers
of the gasoline station workers in
New York City. He is now a member

SHIP CONCERN in
PACT VIOLATION:
COURT TO DECIDE

Tallahassee, Fla. (ILNS) Follow
ing notification that the Tampa Ship
building Company would not abrogate
its union shop contract with organized
labor, State Attorney General Tom
Watson announced that he would pro-
ceed with a court suit to invalidate
the contract.
Watson had proposed a substitu-
tion of the union security clause"
recognized by the National Labor Re-
lations Board, for the union shop con-
tract under which only the union mem
bers may work in the Tampa Ship
building Company.
George B. Howell, company presi-
dent, replied that the union shop con-
tract was made July 16, 1941, for two
years, with renewal provisions.
'This contract was entered into in
good faith and is still in full force
and effect, and there is no reason why
the company should attempt to abro-
gate it," Howell said.
The company, holding millions of
dollars of federal contracts, has filed
an answer to Watson's quo warranto
suit seeking to oust its closed shop
agreement, and Howell said eve will
continue to defend this suit and the
now existing contract"
The attorney general contended that
the shipbuilding company's charter
from the state did not give it the
right to make exclusive labor con-
tracts. The case is pending before

One other thing we learn in the
news. Ships are being named for la
Dor leaders labor heroes of the
past, such as Samuel Gompers, An
drew Furuseth, James Duncan, and
John Mitchell.
That is good. Those who knew those
great and stalwart figures will be a
bit thrilled by this belated honoring
of their memory.
But how many remember the labor
ship that went to sea in that earlier
World War.
There was ship called the Afel,
for the initials A. F. of L.
The idea was suggested by Samuel
Gompers.
The Afel sailed through the latter
years of that war and continued on
in commercial pursuits for few
years, then to be forgotten in the heap
of postwar vessels that rotted away
in fleets in the waters around New
York and Philadelphia. The name of
the gallant little vessel was seldom
mentioned and soon forgotten.
Let us hope these new ships, named
for labor men, will not be so soon out
of mind.
The men for whom they are to be
parnad decorua to ho ramon harad a

ONLY THE ORGANIZED
ARE STRONG

Unorganized labor cannot be repre-
sented anywhere; it cannot protect
anything; it cannot fight for anything;
it takes what is handed to it; it is
helpless in the face of modern indus
trial might.
The union has led the way. That is
why every wage Garner belongs in the
union and that is why thousands are
getting into unions all over the nation.
Union membership means industrial
enfranchisement!

STRONG UNIONS NEEDED

Never did the American wage

patriotic, aggressive union more than
today. Despite all the careless news

workers-in war industries and non
war industries alike-still are labor

LABOR AND CIVILIAN DEFENSE

LABOR AND CIVILIAN DEFENSE
Organized labor has done an excel
lent recruiting job for the civilian de-
fense program. The country's largest
source of skilled manpower has reg
istered thousands upon thousands OF
union workers in the protective serv-
ices as air raid wardens, fire watchers
auxiliary fire and police men, rescue
squads, demolition squads, etc.
They have been especially active in
promoting adequate plant protection
programs. They have used every
media at their command-the labor
press, meetings, radio, programs, etc.
to bring the needs of the civilian
defense program before their mem
bers and urge them to participate.
They have raised and donated funds
for civilian defense purposes, have
given generously to blood banks, and
have expended much time and effort
to promote these activities in their
communities.
In the civilian mobilization services
they have been very active in salvage
campaigns, in promoting car-pooling,
in initiating and pushing programs
for the care of children whose mothers
are working in defense industries.
They have made surveys of food sup
plies and sales in defense towns, of
eating facilities in and near defense
plants and have co-operated in edu-
cational programs on industrial health
and nutrition
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-09-11

They have aided in housing surveys
in defense towns and have pushed
programs to popularize room renting
in crowded areas.
In short, there is not single phase
of civilian defense in which labor is
not giving wholehearted cooperation
and support.

- THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Matckst we tell
the truth shsut Hany things, ssmstimss
profoundly. sometimes aippaRtIy, ssms-
timsa recklessly.

There's much in the daily paper
these days about the victory of the
CIO over the employees representa-
tion plan in the mines of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, of Colorado.
There is history wound all around
this development.
Some recall that it was w. L. Mac
Kenzie King, present prime minister
of Canada, who installed that COM
of Colorado.
But the great drama of the thing
is being lost.
| There had been a great shooting up
of the miners, on strike and living in
tent colony at Ludlow. 1t was or
dered that they be evicted from the
tent colony, as means of getting
them back to work
And the state guard went one night
and shot the tent colony to pieces.
The event quickly came to be known
as the Ludlow massacre.
So horrible was the shooting that
the Rockefeller name needed some
renovating.
1t was the late John D. Rockefeller
who came in for the blame Cartoon
lists had been going through the era,
led by Hearst, when corporation men
were pictured with fat mid-sections,
all plastered with dollar signs. Some
will remember the Opper cartoons and
others.
The smell had got bad enough so
that the Ludlow shooting was like
lighting fuse.
And something had to be done.
Rockefeller engaged big publicity
firm - Ivy Lee = and then came Mr..
King.
Lee got Rockefeller to giving away
dimes and King got him to install
company unions. 1t wasn't bad job,
taken all in all. 1t worked.
A great name got renovation and
today the Rockefeller family has an
entirely different conception of its
stewardship One of them, Nelson
Rockefeller, guides our program of
Latin American friendship.
And w. L. Mackenzie King, then
a young economist, went on to become
a great figure in the politics of Can
ada, now the leader of that great
nation.
Rockefeller interests continued to
support the employe representation
plan, not only in G. F. & l., but in
Standard Oil, while competing coal in
terests in Colorado showed the wis.,
dom of unionism and competing oil
companies, such as Sinclair, Cities
Service, and Shell, did likewise.
There were union leaders in those
days who said, wait and see-the COM
pany unions will one day become real
unions.
| 1t seems that they were right, even
though it has taken long time.
Nothing is as it was; nothing ever
again will be as it was, including COM
pany unionism; yes, even including
real unionism.
These are days of great and mo-
mentous change.
