CULINARY WORKERS
LEADER Is ATTACKED

Cincinnati, Ohio. (ILNS).-An at
tack in "Life" on Edward Flore, pres
ident of the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployes' International Alliance and Bar
tenders international League of
America, has stirred the indignation
of the unions members and a number
of locals have strongly criticized the
magazine. One of the most vigorous
of the protests was made by Philadel-
phia Bartenders' Local 115, which
wrote Life" charging that it lacked
courage to call President Flore a
'racketeer," though it insinuated that
he was one, and condemning the pub
lication for "bad and yellow jour
nalism"
The Bartenders' letter, reprinted in
the international unions official jour
nal, "The Catering Industry En-
ployes," said that "Life" referred to
Edward Flore "as the head of a
racket-infested Bartenders' Interna-
tional League" The letter paid trib-
ute to President Flores "honest and
fortnight" leadership and said:
eve think that a magazine with a
circulation such as Life ought to be
more accurate. You lack the courage
to call Mr. Flore a racketeer. You
know that's untrue but, by innuendo,
you convey the same impressions. We
denounce you for slurring the man
who has contributed materially toward
the improvement in the lot of thou
sands of American men and women"
The letter ended by asking Life"
to give the same space to the unions
protest that it gave to the attack on
Flore, which was based on articles by

Miners Union Reinstates
13 Suspended Members

Glace Bay, N. S. (ILNS).-The 13
members of the United Mine Workers,
District 26, who were indefinitely sus-
pended by the district executive for
participation in the leadership of the
"outlaw" showdown strike in the soft
coal mines, have been reinstated by
the district officers. At the time of
the suspension, it was said it was
really expulsion for all. However, the
movement for reinstatement has been
in force since the end of the showdown
last fall, and the assembling of the
unofficial convention which directed
the production curtailment program
against the explicit orders of the dis
trict and international executives.

REDUCING CRIME RATE

A marked decrease" in delinquency
in areas of Oakland, California, has
occurred where low rent housing
United States Housing Authority
projects have taken the place of for
mer slums, says the Oakland Housing
Authority.
A report by the Oakland police
shows that in one section where slums
were replaced by large public hous-
ing project juvenile delinquency de-
clined % per cent although serious
cases of juvenile delinquency increased
for the city as whole during the
same period.
Commenting on the report, the Oak
land Post Enquirer said: "There can
be hardly any argument over the eff
feet of depressing, unsanitary, over
crowded and obsolete housing condi-
tions on the crime rate. Clean up the
housing situation in the more de-
pressed areas, replace scabrous old
shacks and tenements with modern,
decent dwellings, and the crime rate
inevitably goes down"

WORLD RESPONSIBILITY ON U. S.

Freedom, progress and security for
the common man everywhere in the
world-for what are the democracies
fighting if not for this? We must
build the new world of industrial de-
mocracy right here at home if new
vision is to follow the arms we forge
against totalitarianism. What hope
can democracy hold for the enslaved
masses of Europe unless they can look
to America and see that free workers
here are building the foundations for
better life?
The United States is now the eco
nomic center of the world. Unless we
keep to the principles which make pos
sible free institutions, shall we not
lose the war whatever the military
outcome? We must have freedom in
order to win the war. Our decision on
the right to strike will be felt around
the world A curb on strikes would
be strong argument for totaIitarian-
ism. For if labor is not free in Amer
lea, what hope can democracy hold
for the masses of Europe American

"Science can help us win the war on
the home front as well as on the I'M
mediate field of battle" says DR..
Louise Stanley, chief of the Bureau of
Home Economics, U. S. Department of
Agriculture. "Now, more than ever
before, homemakers need scientific
facts to help them best adjust their
families to the present emergency"
The program of the Bureau of Home
Economics has been directed toward
making such facts available, accord
ing to Doctor Stanley's annual report
to the Secretary of Agriculture, just
issued. Some of the highlights of the
report, covering the fiscal year 1870
1941, follow.
Because morale and physical fitness
of a nation depends so much on good
diet, the bureau has redoubled its eff
forts to uncover practical nutrition
facts. These have been released in the
form of master diet plans that meet
the new yardstick of good nutrition
adopted this year by the National Nu-
triton Conference for Defense. These
master plans are so arranged that
they may be adapted to different parts
of the country and to changing food
supplies. Emphasis has also been
placed on conserving food value by
scientific methods of cooking and food
preparation.
#
As in the first World War, dehy-
drafted foods have again come to the
forefront. The Bureau of Home Eco
nomics during the year began study
of dehydrated foods-tested over 300
such food products for palatability
and to some extent for food value.
Among these foods were dried eggs
and dehydrated soups-both easy-to-
take and easy-to-keep sources of inn
portant food values.
The preliminary studies of dehy-
drafted foods laid the groundwork for

TO PROVIDE men
FOR FARM JOBS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Warn-
ing against an impending serious farm
labor shortage, Federal Security Ad-
ministrator Paul v. McNutt has an
nounced the expansion of farm place
ment machinery in the Social Security
Boards u. S. Employment Service.
The Farm Placement Service has
been overhauled under the supervision
of U. S. Employment Service Director
John ]. Corson and Fay w. Hunter,
formerly chief of the North Dakota
State Employment Service and direc-
tor of the Employment Service in Ari-
zona, has been appointed to head the
expanded farm placement organiza-
ton.
McNutt stated that assuring an ade-
quate supply of workers for Americas
farms is a big task ahead. America
must, he explained, produce much more
food now for home consumption and
the Allies. AS thousands of farm
Woi ihSIo nave SHlo ollSu III oilc AlHiy,
Navy, and civilian wartime jobs,
serious shortage of workers is ex-
pected in certain regions.
''Today," he said, Finding enough
workers to till the fields, plant the
crops, and harvest them is nation
wide task which can only be met with
nationwide organization. We can
not afford the waste and suffering
which comes with haphazard labor re-
cruiting and uncontrolled migration"

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes fippantly, some
times recklessly. !.

A Merry Christmas is over and
Happy New Year impends. For all we
know we shall not have another Christ
mas as merry for some time to come.
The nation merely paused in the
first rush of war, took an easy breath
and said to itself, well, we might as
well carry on in the tradition while
we can" Who knows what comes?
No one can be sure how long it may
take to lick the barbarians.
On every hand the talk is about how
long it will take. Few are foolish
enough to look for a quick or easy
victory. But on every hand, without
exception, people are prepared for
whatever may be the cost. There is
no question about an IF; it is only
question about a WHEN.
1t has to turn out right, no matter
when, or at what cost. It seems that
there never has been such unity.
Interesting, too, is the fact that so
many labor men today demand that
when peace comes it shall be lasting
peace, based upon cooperation; and
their reasons simply laugh off as silly
the points brought forward by labor
men who opposed the League of Ma
tiopc altar +ba nj bay yUap
Times change; thinking changes.
Old bogey men don't scare us any
more.
There is a universal determination
that the world cannot again risk
blood bath at the will of another psy-
chopathic Hitler, another neurotic
Mussolini, another lustful japanese
war clique making up the mind of an
emperor who masks behind the pre-
tense of deity. What hokum in this
day and age!
But while the days and nights bring
US news of tremendous conflict, each
development marching to form the
phalanx of events that will shape the
outcome, what are we to think of men
at home who gum the works by stop
ping production over petty grievances
that could be righted while work went
on? What ARE we to think?
Of course it is idle to expect that
all dislocations can be prevented
There still are many who do not
understand that the nation is in its
most critical situation. There still are
some who think picnic is happening
and that the main idea is to grab
everything in sight and sass back at
every chance.
The pitiful and regrettable
thing is that those who do unrea-
sonable things are building up
great resentment that may break
loose and set back the clock on
labor progress.
1t is too bad that every man does
not know just what President Roose-
velt said before he summoned his 24-
man board to meet and work out a
way of labor peace.
1t is too bad, too, that some work
men can't hear what so many soldiers
say every time there is an unwar-
ranted stoppage of work.

There would be some burning ears.
The fact is that unions have on their
hands one of the most burning and
vital public relations problems ever
faced and there can't be SO very
many mistakes, OF else!
1t seems to me better that some of
these things be said here and by others
who want labor progress, rather than
have them said in bitterness by those
who want to go back to the days of
darkness.
There is a temptation to cry out to
some local leaders and to some small
groups of membership and to say,
"For heavens sake, have some sense.
Don't rock the boat, for if you rock
it you may wreck it.
And while this mood is on, let it be
said that Phil Murray, who had gained
much good will for himself by his
fortnight convention and post-con-
vention declarations, didn't gather any
fresh laurels by naming John L. Lewis
to be member of that conference
group.
Perhaps Phil doesn't understand
that John L. Lewis just doesn't rate
any more.
This is time for those who counsel
unity and full steam ahead-and who
also ACT the same way they talk.
Let's cut out all monkey business
and pull together for VICTORY

We have inevitably lost control

pays tribute to the Filipino and
American officers and men who
held out so long on Bataan PENN
sula, 10 those grim and gallant
fighters who still hold Corregidor

forces which are still striking
effectively at the enemy on Min

The Malayan peninsula and
Singapore are in the hands of the
enemy: the Netherlands East In
dies are almost entirely occupied,
though resistance there continues.
Many other islands are in the pos
session of the japanese. But there
is good reason to believe that their
southwark advance has been
checked. Australia. New Zealand
and much other territory will be
bases for offensive action--and we
are determined that the territory
which has been lost will be re-
gained.
