WAR INSURANCE FOR
VESSELS AND CREWS
Is SOUGHT BY LABOR

Halifax, N. S. ILNS). - Labor
unions throughout the province Of
Nova Scotia have been endorsing and
campaigning for Dominion war risk
insurance for fishing vessels, their
owners and crews This drive has been
accentuated by the torpedoing of the
Lucille NJ, fishing schooner hailing
from Lockeport, N. S. The crew had
hazardous and distressing expert
ence, and four of them were injured,
three requiring hospital treatment
when the men were picked up and
landed at Bridgewater, N. S.
Until the sinking of the Lucille M,
without warning and by submarine
between 400 and 500 feet long, off the
Nova Scotian coast, the U-boat COM
manders had not attacked fishing
boats. However, number of the en-
emy submarines had come up along
side fishing vessels, and asked ques-
tions as to location, cargo, food avail
able, etc, and several had sought food
supplies, which were said to be low
on the undersea raiders.
Efforts are being made now to have
the fishing craft and crews insured
against losses and injuries or death
from the subs, it being apparent that
the commanders of the U-boats have
received orders to change their policy
toward the fishermen and attack the
latter instead of just checking up on
on them.
1t is also evident that subs of record
size have been sent across the ocean
by the Nazis as raiders as we'll as to
act as supply ships for smaller under
water raiders. Until the attack on the
Lucille M, the largest submarine seen
off Nova Scotia had been 275 feet
long, and the largest in the world, ac-
cording to the latest naval lists, had
been a French sub of 361 feet. Cap
tain Percy Richardson, of the Lucille
NJ, is authority for the statement that
the sub which sank his boat was be-
tween 400 and 500 feet long.

other class of wage Garner; and
Whereas, experience has proven

action; now, therefore,
"'We, office and clerical employees of

vention assembled, do hereby form
this council and adopt this constitu-
ton, in the firm belief that maximum
benefits for ourselves and our fellow
workers can best be obtained through
the formation of an international or

A.F. OF |. AND CIO
AGREE TO CONFER
ON UNITY in LABOR

Chicago (ILNS). - The American
Federation of Labor has agreed to
confer with the Congress of Industrial
Organizations in an effort to bring
about unity of the two organizations.
President William Green of the A.
F. of L., arriving here for the sum-
mer meeting of the federation's ex-
ecutive council, issued formal state
ment, declaring the federation's stand
ing peace committee was ready to
meet with a committee from the CIO
and asserting that "organic unity"
was the greatest single contribution
the two rival bodies could make to
the war effort.
Green said the letter of CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray, proposing the ne
gotiations, was actually response to
an offer made by the A. F. of L. on
June %.
Murray Names Committee
Murray's proposal, made public Au
gust 2, was in the form of letter to
Green, in which he said he was ap-
pointing a committee of three to meet
an A. F. of L. committee to investigate
the question of organic unity. The
committee comprises Murray, R. j..
Thomas, president of the United Au-
tomobile Workers, and julius Ems
pack, secretary of the United Elec-
trical, Radio and Machine Workers.
The A. F. of l.. peace committee is
composed of Daniel j. Tobin, president
Of the Brotherhood of Teamsters;
Harry c. Bates, president of the Brick
layers, Masons' and Plasterers' Inter
national Union, and William l.. Hutch
eson, president of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners.
In his statement agreeing to peace
conferences, Green said:
81 regard Mr.. Murray's letter of
August as official acceptance by the
CIO Of the American Federation of
Labor's proposal that conferences be
resumed to seek basis for establish
ing peace and unity in the labor move
ment.
Benefits of Unity Cited
"The standing peace committee of
the American Federation of Labor is
ready to meet with the committee ap-
pointed by Mr.. Murray. Steps will be
taken at once to arrange time and
place of meeting convenient to both
sides.
Re-establishment Of organic unity
in the ranks of organized labor is the
greatest single contributions the A. F
of L. and the CIO can make at this
time to the success of the war effort
1t will eliminate division, discord and
jurisdictional strife. 1t will expedite
war production. 1t will permit labor tc
speak with single and more effective
voice, both in protecting the social ano
industrial interests of workers today
and when world peace is finally ne.
gotiated.
"These conclusions are based upor
my understanding that organic unity
means the merging of the two organ
izations into one, the setting up of one
national labor movement clothed with
authority to speak for the organized
workers of the nation"
