 Throughout our History we have been supported and nourished by the belief that the world must go forward into a higher spirit of CO., operation and a community sense of responsibility between all na- tions if we would maintain our lib- critics. We have been taught that these liberties could only remain ours as long as we devoted them to the service of the great com- nlunity. The only rights we can preserve are those which continual sacrifices for the common good justify us in exercising.
 The defeats and disappointments we have been going through have been repeated many times before in the history of democratic nations who were unorganized for war. Restsng in the knowledge that we had no desire to attack anyone else, we had faith that no one would at- tack us. We were lnistakenl

We now remember the wrongs of Pearl Harbor and the Philippines as something that seems to have occur red as far away as those of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, France, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Jugo- slavia, Russia, Greece and Finland. As each successive aggression has raised its head we have found an added incentive for the necessity of our own immediate enlistment in the Cause.
 There comes 8 time to all nations, as to all individuals, when progress seems to halt and we are faced with the necessity for @ severe readjust- ment. Let us be thankful that in undertaking this we have a call for higher service than any other gem eration has had since the Civil War. Let us not lose faith in the possibil- ity of this call because we do not quickly achieve what we set out to do. Victory will come in the end if every man and woman keeps clearly before himself and herself, irrespec- tive of what others may do, the necessity of the maximum devotion to the common task.

the Cincinnati area and workers of
Dayton will be- minus the services
of a good man. Grant enlisted in
the services of the International
as a Field Organizer some months
ago, and has a fine record for his
work among the shops organized
in the UE.
Always a hard worker, Grant
has shown hours of work and
activity among the membership
that have shown him to be a man
of determination and the possessor
of a cast iron constitution.
Cincinnati will gain a real
worker in Grant and we are sorry
to e him leave. If ever he comes
to Dayton he will find hundreds
of UE members glad to welcome
him back. Good luck, Grant, and
come back to see us!

Facts

In talking to a member OF the
Shop Committee of Local 801 of
Frigidaire, we discovered an
interesting fact about the condi-
tons that now exist in the plants
that are organized in Local 801.
We printed many stories about
the conversion of Frigidaire to
war work during the early part of
this year.
Many workers were laid off dur
ing the period of conversion and
we were of the opinion that much
of this disturbance in the lives
of the workers could have been
avoided by more action on the
part of management. At this time,
however, we r happy to report
to the membership of all Locals,
that every worker who had senior
ity at Frigidaire has been given
the opportunity to 60 back to
work.
Some of the laid off workers
ment in other plants throughout
at Frigidaire have taken employ
the city and are on war work.
Other workers who have not had
seniority will be given the chance
to return to work in the near flu
ture.
Organization in the plants of
Frigidaire has reached a new high
and new members are being
signed up every day. The outlook
is bright for the duration of the
war and the Committee of Frigid-
aire is determined that the period
of conversion back to customary
production will be met with less
difficulties after the war is won.

Heroes
There are heroes of the battle
of production working in every
war plant in Dayton. These un-
sung valients are the men over
seventy, who, by their efforts in
sticking to their tasks, r i'm
portant cogs in keeping the steady
flow of wal materials to our fight
ing fronts.
We welcome the advantages that
experience of the years bring to
such mechanics in our plant. We
are chagrined and embarrassed at
the recent incident that was print
ed in this paper, where a highly
skilled man was laid off under
the MGR RETIREMENT plan.
Retirement plan! A nice name
for showing a man out of a job
when he has a store of experience
that could benefit the boys that
we have sent to the wars! IF this
is an example of patriotism, we
are sorry for the management who
have shown it.
Look about you, fellow workers,
how many men are laid off in UE
shops because of age. Laid off?
Never! The years that they bear
are more of a reason than any
other for keeping them and their
experience IN THE PLANT!

FDR Aide Blasts Americas
"CIiveden Set Of Appeosers,"
Louds Union Lobor's Role

Americas "Civeden set of appeasers-people who would do
business with Hhler"-are now back at their pre-Pearl Harbor task
of criticism "amed at destroying our national unity" Eugene 3.
Casey, special assistant to the President, told a meeting of AL. CLIO,
and Railroad Brotherhood workers in Moline, Ill, last week.
"For a pitifully short period after Pearl Harbor," Casey said,
these people joined in the great call for national unity Now, once
again, they are beginning to carp and critGse, to hound and harass.
I wonder if they realize that they are playing Hhlers game by trying
to undermine or confidence in or own government. Internal disen-
sion has been Hhlers weapon in all the countries that now lie pros
trate beneath his heel. If there is any hating to be done, let it be the
massed anger of aroused Americans against the common enemy who
would destroy our sacred liberty and reduce us to slaves.

"Whereas: Thirteen million
Negro citizens of the United States
are ready and willing to 60 to
work on the production lines as
well as the battle lines of our
country to help win the war, and
whereas; the Constitution of the
United Electrical, Radio & Ma
chine Workers of America, as well
as the Constitution of the United
States forbids discrimination be-
cause of trace, creed Or COLOR"
and guarantees Equality and JUS
tice for ALL" and whereas; the
critical shortage of manpower has
caused the government to issue
an order that part of every factory
force shall be Negro workers, and
segregation of these workers
would mean lowered wage STAN
dards and the use of Hitler's
divide and rule tactics for union
busting, Therefore it is resolved
that the Executive Board places
itself on record against any dis
elimination against Negro workers
in the shop. Segregation of Negro
workers is a form of Union-bust-
ing and will not be tolerated by
the Union, and further it is e
solved that equal rates must be
paid to Negro workers"
When a management spokesman
approached workers in the Small
Motors Assembly Department with
a proposal to set up a separate
department of Negro workers,
Union members in that department
discussed the question and voted
that if Negroes were hired, the
Union would not allow segregation,
nor permit a "Jim Crow" depart
ment to be set up, since segrega-
ton of the Negroes would en-
courage wage cutting and violate
the Bill of Rights, the UE con-
stitution, and hinder the wal
effort, for which all the people
must unite.
In spite of these policies of the
Union and of the government, the
policy of the Master Electric man
agement continues to discriminate
against the Negro citizens of Day.

complain of a shortage of labor,

American labor has every rea-

the war effort. Labor as a whole
has risen above its family quarrels
and gone all out to bring produc-
ton to almost unheard of peaks,
higher by far than the original
estimates. The number of man

wonderfully small as compared
