In mingling with groups from
various plants and listening to
their talks-it was decided to
found a column in our Dayton
Union News. This is to be used

for the sole purpose of contribu-
effort and reporting on activity
being carried on at the present

tional groups. For instance

Helpful Hints-About this time
of the year one should be harvest
ing their victory garden and really
do a patriotic job right at home.
To stretch the national food
supply, why not give canning
bees? This will speed up the work,
and really, girls, it's loads of fun
working in unity, and that, dear
sisters, always takes the drudgery
out of work.
2. Women coming from all ranks
of the UE are organizing wartime
habits-such as-requesting de-
livery of heavy purchases only
and taking home all they can
carry.
3. Sharing their car.
q. Making use of all salvage
containers. ooh! it seems as though
we did slip up on one item. Girls,
what ever happened to the tin
cans? Let's see if we can improve
on these.)
S. Ordering our groceries in
supplies of one week.
6. Besides the weekly payroll
deduction plan for the purchase
of war bonds we urge all to buy
extra wal stamps and bonds. No
matter how much it may tighten
your budget or what pleasures
may be denied it will at no time
be too much for any n of us
to give or buy to reach u ulti-
mate aim for victory.

may be transferred to jobs form

ing in our armed forces we ask
this; Don't forget the boys
keep their job rates up-buildine

We certainly hope there is Moth
ing in the old gag about people
turning over in their graves, be-
cause we feel that our boys who
have lost their lives in Bataan and
elsewhere deserve to rest in peace.
We know such information as was
contained in the papers on this
proposition would certainly break
up their rest.
We know too, that when and If
an "E" for excellence" pennant
flies over Plants No. l and z the
very sight of it will gag the few
people, who from force of circum-
stances must work for this outfit.
They are bound to remember
the hundreds of machines in the
plants of No. 1 and 2 standing ide;
the dozens of machines which
have been shipped out of the
plants to other plants on defense
work; the number of defense jobs
which have been set up in the
factories, only to run a few hun
dred pieces. Then the job disap-
pears to some other factory be-
cause the management at Frigid-
aire put the price up so high they
knew they wouldn't get the job.
The four or five thousand loyal
General Motors employees, hun
dreds of them with IA and Is
years seniority who have been
laid off since last April. Four
months, if you please when u
soldiers are crying for O Of
everything to fight with.
We are bound to remember too,
the hundreds of laid-off employees
who are not financially able to
take a long layoff. Who are
forced to leave Dayton to get a
lob because Big Hearted Frigidaire
passed the word around that they
were going to recall these men
right away. Hence no local manu-
facturer would hire them, thinking
they would leave as soon as
Frieidaire called them, to pro-
tect their seniority.
They will remember too the
skilled men, standing around
twiddling their thumbs in the
plants today; who have been do
ing nothing but killing time for
months on end, and they will
look around to try and find this
1000 war production-well it
can't be found.
There are at least 200 men and
women working on War work,
the whole 40 hours a week at
Plant No. 2; and perhaps that
many at Plant No. 1. They are on
1000 war work alright because
the government stopped con-
sumers production.
If this is all that is needed to
get an "E" rating from the Army
and Navy-God help us-because
if all wal plants were producing
like Frigidaire we could kiss our
Liberty goodbye.

AFL, CLIO To Gear War
Relief Work Into
Community Chest Drives
ALL and CLIO war relief. work
will be geared into the Fall Drive
of the Community Chest under
agreements made last week by
each of the labor organizations
with the national relief agency.
The agreements are expected to
boost the huge contributions al
ready made for war relief by
Unions throughout the nation.
Organized labor will be repre-
sented on both the local and ma
tional committees of the Chest
for the first time. Irving Abram-
son, chairman of the National CLIO
Committee for American and
Allied War Relief, and Matthew
Woll, chief of the AFL's United
Nations Relief Committee, became
members of the Chests National
Budget Committee following con-
clusion of the agreement.
The pacts provide that contri-
buttons to the Chest by Union
members are to be separately and
publicly credited to the Unions as
we'll as to firms employing the
CLIO or ALL workers.
The AFL's war relief agency will
shortly introduce a broad program
of wal relief projects for consid-
Grafton by each local branch of
the Community Chest if approved
by the National Budget Commit
tee.
Contributions to the CLIO wal
relief fund continued to roll in
last week. Locals 287 and 1858 of
the Retail Shoe Clerks presented
checks totaling $4,000. $4,000 was
donated by the International Fur
and Leather Workers Union for
aid to Britain, while $1,000 was
given by the American News
paper Guild to United China Re-
lief.
Contributions have also been
made by the Fairbanks, Alaska
Local of Mine, Mill, and Smelter
workers, and by the National
Council of Gas, Coke, and Chem
ical Workers. In New York and
Chicago. Another highlight Of the
CLIO drive was the contribution of
$40 out of a $25 prize won by AL
Weiner, United Electrical Radio
and Machine Workers of America
for his factory slogan: production

This triple play, whether or
not it is pulled off as planned
by the coach, so devilishly clev-

out by a past master OF inside
politics. That it was thought up
by some of the New Dealers and
planted without approval or
knowledge of the White House,
then sold to the President, is
inconceivable.
The inspired leak was per-
mitted to try out public opin-
ion and particularly Washington

the mistake of playing the queen

Declarer cashed four diamonds.
On the third, Frey discarded the

played the ten of spades.
Declarer placed the ace and
queen of hearts with West, as
East had not even high-signed.
That left East with worthless
small hearts to discard, yet he
had let 60 club, then high
spade. 1t seemed sure that Frey
was warning West to hold his
club protection, while East held
the spades. Declarer thought his
one chance was to find the queen
of spades in the West hand. So
he led a spade and finessed the
lack when West played low.
That gave the defenders five

WHO SHOULD BE BOSS?

The struggle to determine who shall boss the no.
tons nonpower control program is approaching q
crisis General Hersheys SeIectWe Service System and
Paul Mckutt's Monpower Commission each is seek
ing to acquire jurisdiction over the other.
In the end both may find themselves assigned to
new super nnonpower agency, headed by somebody
other than the general and the Hooser The somebody
might even be Interior Secretary lckes, though such
reports seem to have little basis.
The important thing though, is not whether the
supreme head Of monpower mobilization, military
and civilian, shall be General Hershey or Mr.. McNutt,
but whether he shall be taken from the armed forces
or from the civiIion population.
And even this is Of less significance than whether.
at long lost we have appreciated the urgent neoes-
sty for having single agency to handle the entire
ronpower problem, which is so completely on Indvls-
IDLE entity that only confusion can from treot
ing it as two unrelated administrative Chores
Canada has placed both military droft and indus
trial nonpower control under civilian head There
are strong arguments for such course Perhaps the
most compelling is that in democracy this helps to
oIloy feors lest the mIitory should be become too
powerful
On the other side is the feeling thot generals and
odniros in wartime less susceptible to political
pressure than civilians, plus the general recognition
thot needs Of the armed forces must be supreme.
But there ore generals With on eye to popular &C
claim, and civilians who sefess in public service.
The armed forces depend as heavily upon civilian in
dustry as upon uniformed men. Whoever directs over
all monpower CONTROL be he general admiral or civil

and to Congress-
In the end, the effectiveness Of our monpower
control will rest upon President RooseveIts choice Of

eBEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

1t offers a perfect example of
how things are done in Wash
ington these days, which is a
source of never-ending wonder
to boys from the country who
never do seem able to catch on
to a sophisticated modus oper-
andi.
Most amazing thing about this
incident is that the principals
were kept in complete ignorance
of the whole project for sew
eral days after il was out. To
have informed them of this pro-
posed cabinet shake-up would
have been too simple, too much
like direct, straightforward
dealing. So a more intricate pro-
cedure was followed to prepare
them for the blow.
News that there was a cabinet
shift impending was allowed to
get out in what has become
known in Washington as an in
spired leak" The difference be-
tween a leak and an inspired
leak is that in simple leak,
somebody outside the govern
ment gets hold of news that
somebody inside the govern
ment wants to keep secret. Of
ficials can keep mum, as wit
ness the Molotov visit and Afri-
ca stories. But in an inspired
leak, somebody inside the gov
eminent wants some news to get
to the public without resort to
an official announcement, so the
news is planted.
HUSH-HUSH STUFF
An official calls in Cocoon
spirator and tells him, "Lookit!
You can't attribute this to me
or to anyone in the government,
but if you let the newspaper
boys put out story saying that
Harold Ickes is to be made Sec
rotary of Labor with control
over manpoWer, that Paul v.
McNutt is to be made Secretary
of the Interior, and that Madame
Perkins is to be made Federal
S curity Administrator, you
won't be far wrong"
1t might not be done that di-
rectly, but the story would be
planted by subtle hints.
Now any newspaperman
worth his salt will check back,
as was done in this case. Re-
porters went to the offices of
Ickes, McNutt and Perkins, and
from each received flat denials
that any such shift was in the
w n d. Secretary Perkins has
been reported as resigning or
being forced to resign so many
times that her office doesn't
bother to make formal denials.
But it was news to both Ickes
and McNutt.

gorical denials that there was

Ickes and McNutt still knew
nothing of them.
