Anti-Inflation
AL Program
Has lOPoints
Increases In War Bonds,
Pro6t-and-Price Control
Provided In Plan

Washington, ID. C.-Calling
upon President Roosevelt and
Congress to reject all arbi-
trary proposals for wage freez-
ing by legislation or decree,
President William Green of
the American Federation of
Labor has made public a new,
ten-point program for infia-
ton control, based upon the
principle of equality of sacri-
flee.
A special new series of War
Bonds, not cashable until af-
ter the war i'm which future
wage increases would be paid,
in part or i'm whole, depending
on the particular case, is an
important point i'm the pro-
gram.
ssThis is a life and death
matter TO every American
worker Green declared. SIT
is a matter of life and death to
the free labor movement of
our country
SELFISH INTERESTS
The Federation's ten-point pro-
gram was a smashing blow to those
"selfish interests" charged by
Green with ''trying to win the bat
tie of initiation by making the great
masses of our people the victims. !"
The new bond issue proposal
knocks out the charge of horse
and-buggy economists that labor's
increased buying power is the main
source of initiation.
The AFL plan provides first of
all that all wage disputes be adj
justed according to democratic
processes-by collective bargaining,
by negotiation, by Cancellation or
arbitration. If these methods fail
the dispute shall be submitted to
the National War Labor Board for
final decision. 1t further recon-
mends that a Wage Policy Com
mission be established with equal
representation for Government,
labor and industry, to coordinate
and unity wage policies and guide
\ all Government agencies con-
cerned.
The AFL also demanded effec-
tive control of excessive corporate
profits through taxation and
through integrated cost control on
all Government purchasing; pro-

''TO THE UNION TIMES:
''The negotiating committee and
the key men of the Rockbestos Di-
vision of Local BOO wish to use
the columns of The Union Times
to thank the membership for their
patience during the bargaining
period.
''We also thank the Rockbestos
Products Corp. for its fine Ameri-
can spirit of cooperation. It's our
sincere opinion that many serious
production problems can be soIv-
ed when manufacturers give their
workers the reasonable and justi-
fled cooperation being displayed
by the Corporation.

now sure that the delay in negoti-
ations was certainly worth while con-
sidering the fact that the increases
run to more than $250000 over the
period of year. This amt hay. We
feel that this is remarkable for a first
contract. We feel we did accomplish
something although mistakes naturally
were made. We hope to straighten
them out as soon as possible.
UNION MEANS VICTORY!
'We now ask the membership
to give us their support by signing
up all remaining employees still

Bobo and Flynn Meet

Military Service Makes
1t Difficult for GoIdie
To Round Up Talent

Goldie Ahearn cleared his throat
and began the big buildup today
for his first fistic presentation at
Uline Arena April Is when Harry
Bobo of Pittsburgh collides with
Johnny Flynn OF Rochester in a 10
round bout.
Times being what they are talent
is scarce, if not expensive, in the
ring game. The two-for- r-a-nickel
boxers who formerly cluttered up
promoters Offices have disappeared
into war service and filling a card
is no easy task. Thus, in bringing
in Flynn Ahearn isn't sure of
coming up with a five-star hit, al
thougt he's hoping for the best.
Flynn seems to have obtained
most of his experience battling Gus
Dorazzio of Philadelphia, losing one
bout and winning two-one by a
technical knockout. 1t is reported
that his t k. o. win over Gus pre-
vented the latter from accepting a
match with Lee Savold last summer
Johnny also has whipped Freddy
Fiducia, who holds a decision over
Lem Franklin, who, in turn, seems
to have been one of the biggest
buildups in the heavyweight scheme
of things.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 6.-The
Calder Cup, emblematic Of the
American Hockey League cham
pionship, was the priced possession
today Of the Indianapolis Capitals.
The league championship came
to the Capitals for the first time
last night when they skated OF the
Fairgrounds Coliseum Rink with an
8-to-3 victory over the Hershey
Bears. A home town crowd Of 5000
at the fifth and last game Of the
final playoffs didn't have much to
worry about as the Caps never were
on the short end OF the score.
The title came to the Caps. how
ever, the hard way. They fought
Springfield in five games In the first
round to gain the final playoffs and
then played out the string with the
Bears before deciding the issue.
Jack Keating and Les Douglas
were the Caps shock troopers IN the
playoff drive and became co-holders
of a new scoring record for the final
series. Each collected enough goals
and assists for 81 points, besting the
old mark of II points made by Billy
Taylor Of Pittsburgh in the 1910
series.
The Caps took command in the
first period last night. scoring three
goals in 81 seconds. Heating got the
first one at 8:33. John Ross poked in
another at 9 and Joe Fisher tall
lied the third "a seconds later. Wally
Wilson scored for Hershey before the
period ended. but indianapolis
scored three times more in the mid
die period and once in the third
before the Bears connected again.
The Bears tried hard to catch UP,
but their offensive drive netted only
two goals In the last 20 minutes.

Al Blozis' lengthy discus throw in
the Carolina relays recalls that
Coach Hap" Hardell two years ago
made the observation that the big
fellow could be better with the pie
plate than the shot. His build, Har-
dell pointed out, was even more con-
ducive to record-breaking in this
department than in the shot put, but
AL hasn't paid much attention to it.
Improvement may be expected
this spring for several reasons, one
being that Blozis no longer will have
to visit neighboring Western High
School field for practice sessions,
but can train on the home grounds.
Westerns short field had a psyche
logical effect on him, causing him to
ease up on trial throws and never
really getting his full strength into
the effort.

Blozis doesn't say so, but around
the Hilltop they suspect he Is rather
fed up with the shot and this may
help him with the discus. He likes
to wrestle. play basebal-in which
he is terrific slugger, when he hits
the ball-and horse around with his
