Police Chief Harold Anderson is

He issued public plea yesterday

He needs 300. he said. to insure

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 21.-
Streetcar and bus transporta-
ton in Richmond and Norfolk
was crippled early today by a
strike of streetcar and bus op-
orators who sought recognition
of their American Federation of
Labor union from the Virginia
Electric g. Power Co.
A number of operators who are
members of an independent organi-
zation of Virginia Electric g. Power
employees did not join the strike
and a company spokesman said

in Richmond at 80 per cent ef-
f1ciency this morning.

The strike was the outgrowth OF
long struggle between the inde-
pendent organization and the Anal
gamated Association of Street Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach EN-
ployes of America, AFL, for recog-
milton as bargaining agent for the
VEPCO trolley and bus drivers.
The National Labor Relations
Board has ordered disestablishmen
of the independent organization,
but the order has been appealed to
the courts.
Meanwhile. the independent or
eanization has moved to affiliate
with the Utilities Works Organiza-
ton Committee, a branch of the
CIO. A referendum on this ques-
ton was begun last midnight by the
Independent group.
In Norfolk public transportation
facilities were reduced to approx

type of building in flames, it's loca-
ton and the number of people
trapped by fire.
On the basis of thse reports, the
Fire Department center would dis
patch equipment from all over the
city to the scenes of disaster.
The volunteers attached to the
third center may never be called
upon to perform. but If they are. it
will be when the city needs them
most, when the devastation is SO
widespread that the two other
widely separated centers have been
bombed out.
That is the job for which rs VOL

long way in war plant restaurants

fed well-balanced meals to reduce
absenteeism and improve efficiency,
and that the cost must be kept at a
minimum, she said:
1T seems to me the best way to

FLOYD G. MILLER, Democratic
candidate for the North District
cCmmissionership began his serv-
ice with King County as bridge
carpenter six years ago, rose to
head of the Sign g. Safety Depart
ment, and more recently was made
head of the Bridge and Building
Department. He has served two
terms as State Representative
from the 45th District, and is
member of both the Carpenters

ions.
Due to war priorities and de-
mands of the new board of county
commissioners" Mr.. Miller said to
the Victory Worker reporter, 1.-The
new board of county commission
ers will face a most difficult task.
LAS commissioner / shall use my
intimate knowledge of roads, man
power and economy in carrying out
a policy of constructing new roads
only when the army or navy indi-
cate such a need.
THE shortage of rubber and
curtailment of traffic have greatly
reduced the source of road funds
the state gasoline taxes. Here
indeed, is another potent reason
why your new county commits
sioner must have an intimate
knowledge of the roads and be
thoroughly qualified by expe-
rience to keep them safe and
smooth for war workers and the
general public at lowest possible
cost.
THE wages offered by the war
industries are so much higher than
the county can pay, and so many
of our men are going into the
armed forces, the public must re-
alize those remaining to maintain
the county roads are doing so at a
personal sacrifice"

INTRODUCING THE CANDIDATES
SENATOR PAUL F. THOMAS of

Wv u - -
West Seattle, candidate for re-
election on the Democratic ticket
to the State Senate, resides with
his family in their own home at
1908 West Walker Street. He has
been engaged in the fuel business
for several years, and is now en-
gagged as an auditor for the Coun-
ty-City Building.
When interviewed by the Vic
tory Worker reporter, Senator
Thomas said:
James Taylor, President of the
American Federation of Labor in
Washington State, has commented
on my record as one that merits
the unqualified support of all Labor
for 100 per cent loyalty on all
measures affecting Labor
Il am proud of the fact that
over an eight year period for SER
vice l have never been absent
from roll call.
Men in the shipyards who want
a true friend in office should look
at the records of candidates for
office, and see that they will faith
fully serve those who will elect
him.
Fidelity to Labor, and all that
it stands for are essential require
ments for candidates. They should
also be men of vision in order to
help prepare the way for problems
that will be presented when the
defense industries close down.
Men in war industries must
select men for the Legislature who
can be depended upon to think in
terms of the human equation,
above the demands of special privi-
lege groups. They will benefit by
bearing these things in mind when
they go to the polls to vote on
September 8.

I'm my opinion the Prosecuting
Attorney, as the hired lawyer of
the people at large as well as adj
visor and counsellor of the county
boards and departments, which
number upwards of 80, should pos
sess competent Legal talent.
II also believe that the prose-

individuals, and should feel no
compunctions about enforcement
of law against law breakers, re-

the attack on Pearl Harbor.
From the office of County Com
missioner Russell Fluent comes
this surprising story of war time
efficiency during those potent pre-
war days of rampant isolationism
on the part of famous leaders.
In June, 1941," said an author
lied spokesman in the Fluent Of
flee, six months prior to Pearl
Harbor, Brigadier General Carlyle
H. Wash and his staff told County
Commissioner Fluent that the
United States was in grave danger
of war with Japan within the next
few months, and sought his assist
ance in speedily locating the Inter
ceptor Command in Seattle.
General Wash emphasized that
it was of utmost Importance to
establish the Command and start
training the personnel within go
days. Fluent Immediately prepared
and had signed by the other COM
missioners an emergency appro-
priation, cleared the decks for ac-
ton, and started wartime changes.
Six weeks later the main job was
done and the Command was al
ready training it's officers and men
and a large corps of women vol
unteers.
After the attack on Pearl Har-
Dor, General Wash asked Fluent
for more extensive help. The an
ticipated danger was now a reality.
Fluent then obtained another
emergency appropriation and rap
idly shifted several departments of
County government to make this
further military adjustment"
Russell Fluent, Democratic can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney,
and King County Commissioner
since January, 1889, has put in 16
years as a practicing attorney,
two years as deputy prosecutor
and years in his present office of
County Commissioner. Having
served in the front lines during
the first World War, and being
wounded in action, Fluent knows
first hand the consequences of I'M
preparedness.
His responsibilities have in
creased many times during the
past year of emergency, and not a
day passes without his performing
some effective act to build up and
strengthen our civilian defenses,
and aiding the federal government
and the armed forces.
He is now assisting in establish
ing nurseries for the children of
war workers, and will do like SER
vices for multitudinous other ac-
tivities for the duration.
Millions of dollars of revenue
from tax-tile land sales in the last
three years, and sensible economies
under good management enabled
King County to enter the war in
the best financial condition in all
its history" Fluent's spokesman
pointed out, land to appropriate
S100, 10000 for civilian defense this
year and as much more as may
be necessary for the duration. He
has also aided the low cost and
defense housing projects by pro-
viding them with one-third of all
the land they now occupy"
