U. S. Urged To Call
Italy Occupied Notion
Instead Of Enemy

New York City (LNS).-Dean Al
fange, American Labor party candidate
for governor. has called on the State
Department to declare Italy an occu-
pied country rather than Il foe Of the
U.S.A.
"Everybody knows that if the Italian
people were free to choose. they would
be fighting on our side" Alfange told
l. 800 members of Local 306, Motion
Picture Operators Unions, an Ameri-
can Federation of Labor affiliate.
He declared that such a change IN
the status of Italy would hearten Ital-
ian foes of Fascism and give them
reflective aid" in their efforts to de-
pose MuSSOlini.
The Italian people hate Hitler and
all he stands for Alfange said. They
abhor the awful fact that their country
was plunged into war against the
United States. They look to Us to help
them loose the chains which Hitler has
fastened upon them"
As collateral proposal. Alfange
urged creation of + ri en- d v Alien
Boards to grant hearings TO German
and Italian aliens protesting loyalty
to American ideals. The boards would
be empowered to grant such aliens per-
mitS to work in war industries.

Don't Be A
Land Pilot
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Have you noticed how many people
recently developed a talent for general
ship? Of course, they haven't had any
military training. and know nothing of
strategy, Of lOgistics, or of the re-
sources Of our nation, our allies or our
enemies. Not being hampered by facts,
however, they can plan out marvellous
campaigns and decide just what should
be done and when. No, they aren't do
ing any war wcrk-that monotOnouS
daily grind would Interfere with their
Self-appOinted task of pointing ont the
mistakes Of others.
At present much 10 the delight Of
the Axis. they are trying ~ set and
publiciZe both the time and the place
for the second front, though British
Labor just put them in their place by
passing Il resolution leaving the sOlll-
ton Of these problems up to those in
military authority.
Now is not the occasion for either
land pilots or swivel-chair generals
We have commanders trained and
equipped to make the necessary deci-
sions-so lets leave the job to them
Two thousand, one hundred and
Paulus, a Roman general, stated the
case in words which are just a. appli-
cable today:
'In every circle and truly al every
table, there are people who lead armies
into Macedonia; who know where the
camp ought to be placed; what posts
ought to be occupied by troops; when
ana through what pass that territory
! should be entered: whore ma gaZineS
! should be formed: how provisions
should be conveyed by land and sea ;
and when ii is proper 10 engage the
enemy, when to lie quiet.
| .. / ain not one Of those who
think that commanders ought at no
trary. ! should deem that man more
proud than wise. who regulated every
proceeding by the standard of his own
single judgment. What then is my
opinion? That commanders should BE-
cOunselled. chiefly. by persons Of
known talent; by those who have made
the art of war their particular study,
and whose knowledge j. derived from
experience: from those who are pres
ent at the scene Of action. who see the
country. who see the enemy: who see
| the advantages that occasions offer.

Labor News From Britdin

lion women in industry today, Anne
LOughlin reminded me, and 112 mil
lion Of them have taken up wage earn
ing employment for the first time in
the war trades. No more than a million
of the wage earning women are union
lied yet.
More Women In Industry To Stay
There has been Il considerable in
Unions catering for women workers
But Anne Loughlin insisted that there
is great unioniZing task still to be
done for the women who are in industry
and likely to remain when the war is
over She pointed out to me that the
number of women who will wish to re-
main in wage earning employment af-
ter the war is certain to be greater
! than was the case after the last war.
The position of women in this re-
spect has been easrd in relation to
their responsibilities as wives and
mothers who have home duties to at
tend to. Nursery schools have been de-
veloped, feeding facilities in schools,
factory canteens, and the Food Minis
try'S restaurants, which served the
needs of the civilian population in every
city and almost every Suburb-all this
has eased the position Of the woman
at home with family to plan for.
Her children-even the smallest in
| fa vfS
folk can get meals outside the home,
SO that she is free if she wants to
work, to go to work.
Looking To The Future
Anne LOughlin stressed the point
too that wage earning employment will
be more attractive to women as q con
sequence of the standards that have
been established in wages and workers
welfare. The rate for the job she
said, will have to be maintained after
the war, as barrier against possible
exploitation of the masses of women
workers who have qualified in the war
trades for wage earning employment
and who would come into competition
with men demobiliZed from the fight
ing forces and the civil defense serv-
ices if dfferential rates for women do.
ing the same work as men We're allowed
to reappear.
Perhaps the greatest of the services
Anne Loughling will be able to render
during her year of office will be to set
the Trade Unions thinking about tho
problems of this nature. 1t is at any
rate her intention to keep in the fore
front. as far as her opportunities en-
able her to guide the thought of trade
uniOnists, the fact that women and
men will have to work out together an
equitable solution of the problem aris
ing from the increased employment OF
women. and the conflict of interests re-
sulting from the wartime displacement
of men by women in a variety of trades
and industries.
Her Election A Pointer
In her view this conflict of interests
can be solved, and in fact she thinks
that her colleagues of the Genera
Council who have chosen her as theil
chairman this year have pointed the
way towards a solution, in their frank
and cOmradely recognition of hel
equality of status with them in the
responsibilities of leadership. They
chose her because they felt that she
has all the qualifications for the chair
manship and her sex made no differ

Auto Tool Makers
Get WLB Ruise
Increase Of l0c An Hour
Given Men in Ford. GIN.
And ChrYsler Plants

WashingtOn-The War Labor Board
granted last week an increase Of 10
cents an hour to tool and die workers
Of ''the captive shops" of the Ford
Motor Company, the General Motors
Corporation, and the Chryser Corpora
ton at Detroit.
This increase, the board said. would
be actually 6 cents an hour for such
workers in the General Motors and
Chrysler plants. The latter recently re-
ceived a general increase Of I cents an
hour
The wage increase was described as
a move to stabilize the tool and die
industry in the Detroit area.
Other actions taken by the board in
the same industry included:
Refusal Of a general wage increase
to the tool and die makers employed
in the eighty job shops represented by
the Automotiye Tool and Die Associa-
ton.
Ceiling Is Set for job Shops
Placing of a ceiling Of Sl.15 an hour
over the rates Of tool and die makers
in the job shops 10 stop the upward
spiral of these rates, which has al
ready created serious inequalities be-
tween these rates and those in the
captive shops of the three large motor
companies"
The board said that no wages would
be reduced because of this ceiling,
which was designated. it stated, To cut
down ''pirating' of workers between
shops.
The board said that no one now
making less than Sl.75 an hour could

Union Officiols Aiding War
Workers Get Tires And Gas

Recognizing the role of union officials
and representatives in maintaining I'M
interrupted production in the war eff
fort, the Office of Price Administration
has provided, in tire and gasoline ra-
tioning, rulings for transportation for
these officials
A ruling just issued by Administra-
tor Leon Henderson as an amendment

yideS for the issuance of certificates
Of purchase for tires by authorized
representatives of government, man
agement and labor to allow union
officials TO perform at war plants
services which are directly related to
the prevention or settlement of labor
grievances and disputes"
Similarly, the gasoline rationing code
provides for the issuance of pre-
ferIed mileage or "C' cards, To union
officials as we'll as to representatives
of government and management in war
plants
and who. like people embarked in the
same ship, are sharerS of the danger.

prove advantageous To the public, let

London Anne Loughlin, newly
elected chairman of the Tue. General
Council, lost no time after her elect
ton in making it clear that she will
regard herself during her year Of office
as the spokesman of the organized
women workers. Organization or
women in industry has been her main
preoccupaton for over a quarter Of
centry-though she is still young
woman not only in years but in fresh
ness Of mind and physical vitality.
l had the opportunity on our way
back from the BlackpOol Congress of
talking with her about the response
bilities she has assumed, and about
her past experience and training in
Trade Union work.
Family BreadWinner At Sixteen
Her mother died just as Anne Lough-
lin reached her twelfth year. 1t be-
came her duty to look after her sisters
and brothers, when her father, vino
worked in Il boot factory left the house
all day in her management. Four years
later her father died and she became
the breadwinner with three Of the
younger members of the family who
were still at school. SO Anne entered
Il garment factory in Leeds. Almost at
once she became a member of the
Union of Garment Workers, which did
not then enroll many women as mem
berS, and helped to unioniZe the fac
tory in which she worked, later being
elected shop steward.
She made her first speech at the
meeting arranged to unioniZe the shop
| The Union organizer who listened TO
| this speech was Andrew COnley, then
giving days and nights tG the task of
building up the garment workers or
ganizatiOn in the great clothing centre
of Leeds He was quick to appreciate
her quality and invited her to under
take organizing work temporarily. This
she did, mostly after working hours,
but later as a paid organizer, with q
salary of 25s. a week
1t was natural for her to embrace
this opportunity eagerly; her father
had been an active trade uniOnist and
Il shop steward before her.
Elected Year After Year
Anne Loughlin has travelled far in
the working class movement Her
career has developed side by side with
that of the Union to which she belongs.
She is now its National Organizer Her
status in the Trade Union Movement
at large is indicated by the fact that
she has been continuously elected a
member of TUG. General Council year
by year for more than a dozen years,
against active competitors. The two
seats allOcated to women representa-
tives of the Unions on the TUG. Gen
eral Council are coveted posts of honor
and responsibility, and there are al
ways four or five other women, ener-
getic and influential officials of Unions
who go to the ballot for these two
seats. There has never been any ques-
ton of Anne'S ability to hold her seat.

Year of U.S. Ship
Production Finds
1912 Goal Nearer
466 Merchant Ships
Delivered to Service
In 12-MOnth Period

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.
(UP)-The maritime COM
mission announced today that
the goal of 100000 dead
Weight-tons of new mer-
chant ships set for 1912 by Presi-
dent Roosevelt could probably be
achieved and that the 100000 to
100000 ton goal for 1943 seems
likely to be met, provided materials
are available
The commission also announced
that by Sunday, 466 merchant ships
will have been delivered into service
in the lear since the first Liberty
ship was launched on Sept. 81 l94l
Designated as Victory Fleet day.
Sunday, the commission said, marks
the end of year of unprecedented
achievement by American shipbuild-
ers and finds this nation nearing
the peak of production in the great
est merchant shipbuilding program
in world history" Besides setting
all-time world records, the conf
mission added, American yards have
produced "a shipbuilding capacity
far greater than that of all the rest
of the world combined"
Scheduled deliveries of % more
ships during the last three days OF
this month will give September a
total production of 80 ships. That
better than three-a- day rate is
the highest since the present ship
building program started.
OF the 456 ships delivered during
the year ending Sunday, 3l3 will
be Liberties, the l0,500-ton standard
emergency cargo vessels. Fourteen
of the deliveries scheduled next
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
will be of the same type making
total of 34l Liberty ships in ser =
vice since the launching of the
Patrick Henry, the first to hit the
water.
