DIGEST OF DEFENSE

The President told his press confer
ence great progress has been made in
unification of American Army and
Navy commands. He said such unifica-
ton has been going on for the past
two months and does not result from
the Pearl Harbor INJURY board report.
Price Control Legislation.
President Roosevelt signed the Price
Control Bill which provides for a
license system to enforce price regu-
lations, calls for a single administra-
tor and contains provisions to permit
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1942-02-05

farm prices to rise as high as ITO per
cent of parity.
The President said, however, he may
ask Congress to correct certain gaps
in the bill, particularly the agriculture
provisions. He said the prohibition
against the farm price ceilings at less
than 10 per cent of parity is direct
threat to the cost of living, although
the licensing, rent control and other
provisions are useful weapons against
imitation. The Department of Agri-
culture reported the average of farm
product prices on January Is was 102
per cent of parity.
Army.
The President signed the Fourth
Supplemental National Defense Bill
carrying a $4,000 100000 appropriation
for $4,000 Army planes and equip
ment. War Secretary Stimson an

10000 pilots, observers, navigators and
other personnel to match airplane
production.
War Secretary Stimson announced
10000 men have been released for
duty with combat troops since the
Army began replacement of enlisted
men engaged in clerical and houskeep-
ing activities by civilian employees,
some of them women. He said en-
trance requirements for officer candi-
date schools have been changed to
allaw qualified enlisted men from 18
to As to win commissions within six
months.
Navy.
The Marine Corps announced regu-
lations for enlistment of 5000 men 80
10 so for guard duty at naval shore
stations. The Corps revised require
ments to permit only college junior and
seniors and qualified enlisted men to
enroll in its reserve officers candidate

The Navy waived minimum age re-
quirement of Is years for leaders
leadingmen and quartermen in Navy
yards and plants under Navy juris-

MASTER
Bond Drive Set

On July Is, the steering COM
mittee members of War Produc-
ton Council, Cletus Schroeder,
Robert strader and Ernest r.
Black, met with Mr.. Warner, MIR.
Evans and MIR. Cowden Of the
Company, on War Production. The
next meeting is planned for July
20, when the Labor Management
War Production Committee will
be set UP.
Through the cooperation of
Labor Management on the 1919
War Bond buying plan a real job
is being done. In five days, 1900
workers, including top manage
ment, have signed slips authoriz-
ing a 1919 deduction for War
Bonds. It Is hoped that by the
end of the coming week there
will be a 1000 membership in the

the regular change-over period.
Frigidaire management, which
is considerably responsible for the
entire dispute, has followed a
"hands-off' policy, and has not
made the constructive contribu-
ton to settling the issue which it
should have made. This only
served to encourage the ALL to
hope for work which its members
are not entitled to. The UE, for
the past several months, attempted
to have Frigidaire management
participate in attempts to settle
the question. Management contin-
ually refused to do so.
The UE-CIO, following the ma
tional policy of the Union, made
every effort to avoid a stoppage
of work, even though its members
were being deprived of some of
their normal work, by ALL crafts
men. In addition the UE never at
tempted to take over the new con-
struction work at Moraine City,
which was being performed by the
AFL.
The UE attempts to settle the
issue brought the matter to the
attention of the War Labor Board,
and a hearing was held in Wash
ington last week, before a special
WLB panel. Brother Mark Daley,
and UE Representative Garfield,
attended for the UE. While the
panel was considering the case,
the AFL struck the plant. Another
hearing will be held in Washing
ton this week, in a further effort
to reach an agreement. This time
the WLB has insisted on company
representation.
UE Local 801, has carried on a
fight to secure maximum work for
all of the Frigidaire. maintenance
workers, and at rates paid the
building crafts on the outside.
This fight will continue, 50 that
every one of the hundreds of
loyal Frigidaire employees in this
department can be permitted to
do his full share for victory.

Urges Greater
Participation
In War Effort

Greater participation by Labor
in the direction of the war pro-
gram is urged by Sen. Harry S.
Truman of Missouri in an addi-
tional report of the special com-
mittee investigating the National
Defense Program of which he is
chairman.
"The Labor Division of the War
Production Board (now the Labor
Production Division) and the
Labor Advisory Committees" the
Senator declared, shave con-
sistently taken advanced positions
in advocacy of the radical cur
tailment of civilian industry and
the labor groups have been con-
stantly in the foreground in fight
ing for an adequate conversion
program.
Labor has fought for curtail-
ment and conversion despite the
fact that in many cases limita-
ton orders have resulted in Sc
we're and prolongated unemploy-
ment for thousands of Union
members. In the necessary tasks
which lie ahead in the compile
ton of the conversion process,
labor has demonstrated its rights
to a greater degree of participa-
ton In the operating work of the
War Production Board and to a
more respectful hearing for it's
plans and suggestions.
mfr. Nelson has already recogn-
lied this in his Inauguration of the
War Production Drive, which pro-
vides for joint participation by
Labor and management in the
stimulation of production at the
individual plants. This program of
labor participation should, in the
committees opinion, be broaden
ed to provide for similar activity
on a regional and industrial basis.
1.-THE War Production Drive has
proved that, without either Labor
or management trespassing upon
the legitimate functions of the
other, both can make a distinct
and profitable contribution in
joint activity to increase produc-
ton"

liberty and the pursuit of happ
independence.
All over the United States lead
ers are stating that there shall b
no discrimination in the giving Of
jobs to men because of color. The
President of the United States, and
the various war boards have de-
creed that those shops engaged In
the production of war contracts
adhering to a policy of racial dis
elimination shall forfeit their con-
tracts.
In the heart of the deep south,
always slow to accept equality
programs, Negroes are being
trained for jobs on production ma
change over and is carrying on in
production lines. Without COM
ment the South accepted this
change over and is carrying on in
the war production efforts of the
Nation. This is as it should be If
we are really in an effort to
preserve the Democratic Way of
Life in this crisis.
Long has the Negro held the
desire to engage in industry. Long
has he cherished the hope of be-
ing able to stand on the produc-
ton line to turn out material. Up
until this crisis, however, he has
been able only to serve as janitor.
We are now engaged in a wide
spread effort for work equality.
Now, at last, the time is at hand
when discrimination and restraint
because of color must cease and
men, all men, must be given that
which they rightfully deserve.
Never during the history of the
Negro has his loyalty to America,
or American ideals been question:
ed. He has always been ready in
any crisis to stand shoulder to
shoulder with any one else and
share his portion of the load. No
Negro has been tried for treason
or sabotage. He knows one way of
life, the democratic way.
Dayton is one of the largest war
producing centers in the u. S.
While other cities, producing
much less than this key city, are
accepting the new order, Dayton
has yet to let the bars down and
accept the ruling to place Negroes
on production. Negroes who have
the training, and ability, or can
gain experience through the nor
NAL training procedures, and who
have seniority making them eligi-
BILE for the available production
jobs, should be given an oppor-
tunity for production work as
outlined by the President of the
United States, and without dis
elimination, as set forth in cur
Unions Constitution
If we must fight to preserve the
Democratic Way, we want a real
democracy. No theory which con-
dones discrimination or segrega-
ton is a democratic one. We in
Dayton, loyal Americans, and
Union members the right to
work, to produce, to aid in Victoryl

lie you like it, just forget about this article. II you don't care to be
taxed beyond the limit of your budget endurance, here is your
answer.
Write your objections to Representative Greg Holbrock, Senator
it is too Late!
1912 TAX BuL-H r. 1878
The House Ways and Means Committee during the past week
completed its draft o. the 1912 Tax Bill Only one significant change
was made in the Bill IS previously described. This change was in
the provisions for taxing corporation excess profits The Committee
improved this section of the bill by raising the basic tax from the
originally planned 1919 to 1919 and by doing away with the 14% post
war "ick-baek" of excess profits taxes. Unfortunately, the rate of
tax ON excess profits was reduced from 94% to Sk%. The net effect
of this entire change was to derive from corporations one billion
dollars additional revenue. The only minority disagreement with the
Bill was made by reacdonary Congressman Knutson of Minnesota
who opposed the increased corporate tax No minority report what
soever was brought out by the progressive" members of the Com
mittee. and the Ways and Means Committee unanimously voted to
request a gag rule"
The House Rules Committee adopted a closed or gas" rule
which means that no amendments may be offered to the Ways and
Means Committee Bill as reported The Bill can only be voted up
or down in its entirety under the existing rule Three days of debate
were provided for. This means that the House will have completed its
consideration of the Tax Bill by the end of this week The Tax Bill
will then be sent to the Senate Finance Committee which will hold
hearings for approximately two or three weeks. Within a month the
Bill should come up for debate and vote under an open rule in the
Senate.

 Says Robertson

At the sounding of the Alert this forenoon at 11:20 o'clock, children poured forth from the public, par ochial and Government school buildings, and in less than eight minutes no child could be seen upon the streets.
 The practice Alert as a whole was very successful, members of the Juneau Civilian Defense Coun- cil said today, and demonstrated the value of drill
 A few automobile drivers failed to obey the rules that require all automobile traffic during Alerts, be stopped. This necessitated several cars to be stopped by Civilian De- fense members.
 Considering the Alert was essen- italy for the benefit of school chil- dren, a fairly large number of Defense members reported, about 100 out of the present total mem bership of 266, Director R. E. Ro- bertson said.
