Metal Trades Head Condemns Action
OF NLRB in Kaiser Case as Start
OF Nationwide Sabotage Move
Week Not Limited

Having failed in this rear-guard
action, the wrecking crew next
spread malicious propaganda to the
effect that the law limits the work
week to 40 hours. President Roose-
welt effectively spiked that falsehood
"Now the labor -baiters demagogi-
cally charge that the law is depriving
our nation of necessary manpower
What are the fact9
"The length of the work-week is
not an issue here, for the wage and
hour law does not limit the number of
hours that may be worked in any one
week. Indeed, the average workweek
in all industry today is in excess of
AZ hours, and in war factories between
46 and At hours. 1t must be empha-
sized that the law merely provides for
the payment of time and one-half for
overtime, that is, for hours worked
in excess of 40 in any one week, or
more than eight in any one day.
Aim Is Bigger Profits
"At a recent press conference our
Commander-in Chief told newspaper
men that those agitating for longer
hours are not interested in increasing
production, but are fighting for larger
profits for employers
''There could be no more diabolical
plot against the war effort than this
i one. To repeal the wage and hour
law in order to increase war profits at
the expense of labor-at time when
the cost of living has skyrocketed-
to undermine the morale of American
workers and cause production to sink
to low levels
"That is exactly what Hitler wants,
and if that is what certain Senators
and Congressman and newspaper pub
fishers are aiming for, then it is high
time that they be called to account for
their reasonable conduct"

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) Action
of the National Labor Relations
Board in challenging agreements of
AFL unions with three Henry J.
Kaiser shipbuilding plants on the
West Coast was declared here by
President John p Frey Of the AFL
Metal Trades Department as "but the
beginning of nationwide move to
sabotage" one of the most vital war
industries.
President Frey issued a blistering
criticism of the NLRB action follow
ing a special conference of AFL
metal trades unions which decided to
use all their resources to protect their
interests and rights "from outrageous
decisions by the NLRB and the un-
justified and unpatriotic raiding being
carried on by the CIO against AFL
organizations"
The special conference set up de-
fense committee to take such action
as it deemed necessary.
Boards Action Flayed
President Frey declared that the
NLRB action was "indefensible" and
added:
Representative of the United
States Government, of the AFL and
of the Pacific Coast shipbuilding in
dustry spent tireless months to bring
about the stabilization under which it
has been operating, and under which
miracles of production have been ac-
complished The production of the
Kaiser plants under this stabilization
agreement has excited the admiration
of the world. No other one thing has
given more alarm to Hitler.
'Under this agreement the frequent
descriptions and disorder which had
marked the industry were wholly
! eliminated. Peace, thorough going

and union labor, and above all, an un-

MAKE MILEAGE
RATIONINC SUCCESS,
GREEN URGES AFL
Help Save Lives of Fighters, He Asks

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-De
claring the armed forces must be pro-
vided with rubber to speed victory and
thus save American lives, President
GRAFTON of Labor has issued an appeal
to every AFL member to do his best
to make nationwide gasoline rationing
a success.
"All good Americans" said Green,
s'know that unnecessary use of rubber
must be stopped in order to save lives
of those who are fighting for us-and
to help our fighting men win victory
at the earliest possible moment"
President Green said further:
"For many months gasoline ration
ing has been in effect in important
industrial areas in our country. 1t
has been a hardship but hardship
which AFL members have cheerfully
accepted as part of the war effort.
Mileage rationing now goes into
effect throughout the country (even
in areas where plenty of gasoline
exists), because it is clearly the only
way to conserve our limited supply of
rubber
eve cannot fail to make all
possible rubber available for the
armed forces. Lives can be
saved-and victories won-by
speed of attack which rubber
makes possible
"The battle of production needs
rubber, too, to get workers to and
from work We must conserve what
we have to make sure that necessary
cars can be kept rolling to and from
our war factories till victory has
smashed the Jap and NaZi menace to
the civilized world.
81 ask every officer and member of
AFL unions to help make mileage ra-
tioning a success. We must keep
essential machines rolling"

ital outlay to facilitate production, it
is contended
Aircraft Pay Equal
A comparison of wages of women
in war industries made by the Wom-
ems Bureau shows that aircraft
plants usually have paid the same be-
ginning rate for women as for men
In most ammunition plants, and in
certain machine tool plants, the en-
trance rate is lower.
1t is notable that in two major ship
building and drydock companies, an
industry in which women are enter
ing in increasing numbers, they were
hired at the same beginning rates as
men on the same processes.

mediately involved. The warfare will
be stimulated and it will spread over
the entire industry, the Atlantic as

Just what is behind the boards
action? What disruptive forces are
at work? Make no mistake about it,
they exist and they will soon become
apparent. This is not simply a case
of bungling by a government agency,
as disastrous as that might turn out
to be. 1t is but the beginning of a
nationwide move to sabotage one of
our most vital industries at the very
height of the war"
Calculated Period of Turmoil
Frey further said:
eve have conclusive evidence that
the boards action in challenging the
contracts which the AFL has with
three Kaiser plants constitutes only
the beginning of calculated period of
turmoil. :. We are to have agitation,
disruption of vital production, all of
the destructive phases that go with
the spreading of stimulated discOn-
tent

the unconscionable selfshness of some
few men, aided and abetted by group
