TRADES COUNCIL

The Hamilton Cooperative Trades
and Labor Council met in regular ses-
sion Tuesday night. Ralph Morning
star presided and the meeting was
well attended.
The credentials of Claude Oder and
Ed Motzer to represent Plasterers and
Cement Finishers, No. 214, and Andy
Shifet and George Schlotterbeck to
represent Fire Fighters, Local No. 20,
were read and delegates seated.
Several communications were read
and properly acted upon.
All bills as read were allowed.
Mr.. Alexander Thomson, Jr., was
visitor to the meeting and was allowed
the floor. He spoke at length on the
needs of civilian defense in Hamilton
and informed the delegates that we
are short on our quota, according to
membership as requested by the gov
ernment. He urged that union men,
women and their grown children be-
come members of the Hamilton De-
fense Council. All questions asked
were answered by Mr.. Thomson.
Mr.. Leon Schindeldecker, senior field
representative and apprentice secre-
tary of the United States Department
of Labor, Cincinnati, Ohio, was granted
the floor and gave the delegates talk
on activities pertaining to his work.
Delegate Ed. DULL reported that
the members of the Truck Drivers
Union have had a good season and
thanked the trades unionists for their
cooperation.
H. H. Howard, delegate from the
Machinists' Union, No 241, read
report of the conference sponsored by
the Ohio State University and several
other organizations, held in Columbus,
Ohio, recently.

the nomination and the election of
officers, all were elected except Charles

WE MUST CENTER
ON ONE MISSION
(From Washington State Labor
News. Seattle1

War is serious business, and the
enemies we are encountering have
complete control of their people, their
labor, and their resources. If we are
to win we must be able to match our
own desire to win with theirs. We must
excel them if need be in the willing
ness to sacrifice for our country.
1t is high time for our people to
understand that should this war be
lost to US, all our economic and po-
litical gains and advantages will be
ruthlessly destroyed by the aggressor.
If we are to win, we must have a
united nation, forgetting all our quar-
rels, difficulties and problems, and GEN.
ter on only one mission, to win the war.
We are sure that the members of
organized labor as we'll as other citi-
zens, when they are fully aware of the
dangers confronting our country, will
be ready to make every sacrifice needed
to achieve victory.

Leaders OF Shoe Union
Named To Advise WPB

Washington, D. C.-Sidney Hillman,
War Production Board labor director,
announced appointment of nine repre-
sentatives of shoe unions as shoe
labor advisory committee. The COM
mittee is to make recommendations to
the w. P. B. concerning the war-pro-
duction effort of industries repre-
sented.
Questions which it will consider in

leather and other raw materials re-

tribution of war work and conversion
of plant facilities to arms manufac-

erwise would have immediate and dis
astrous consequences. An opportunity
to present issues at hearings before
labor boards is the method provided
by the government for avoiding strikes
and lockouts."
This was an important and signif-
cant statement. Did you see it in the
newspapers We didn't, and we made
quite search for it.
Let's take another case. This started
with the publication of Page l box
in the New York Times to the effect
that labor leaders were to be exempted
from the draft at the request of the
A. F. of L. and the CIO. Immediately
columnists and editorial writer's picked
it up with due expressions of horror
President Green, in behalf of the A.
F. of L., forcefully denied that the fed
GRAFTON had ever asked or would ever
ask for special treatment of labor rep
resentatives A few newspapers car
ried a small item on this denial but
they buried it far inside their pages.
There were more developments to
this story. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, the
draft director, discussed it at his press
conference. He made it clear that the
story has been deliberately twisted and
distorted in the press. He denied that
the A F. of L. or CIO had asked for
special exemptions. He pointed out
that the order issued by Selective Serv-
ice Headquarters did not in fact grant
special treatment for labor leaders.
The order provided merely that local
boards may give consideration to de-
ferring GOVERNMENT, INDUSTRY,
as well as labor representatives, whose
services are considered essential to
efficient operation of war production
plants.
Did the newspapers give Gen. Her
shey's statement equivalent space or
position to the original and false
story? They did not In fact, very
few of them mentioned his denial at
all.
Finally, we should like to call to
your attention a story published on
Page l of the Washington Post which
gave the impression that the local mu-
sicians' union in the District of Co.
lumbia had put its foot down against
name band instrumentalists giving
their services free for the entertain
ment of soldiers in Army camps.
Careful reading of this story dis
closed the submerged fact that the
union had merely insisted that orch
estra leaders obtain permission from
the union before giving such concerts.
The story percolated to New York
and came to the attention of the presi-
dent of the international union. He
promptly branded it as false and mis-
leading. He pointed out that the
American Federation of Musicians had
waived it's rules to permit and en-
courage free concerts at Army camps
by name bands. He did not say, but

FACI N G.
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Do you believe what you read in the
newspapers about labor? Here are a
few samples, culled in a single week.
The United Press put out story,
which was widely published, to the eff
feet that the War Labor Board had
decided in advance on formula for
settlement of the union shop issue in
the steel cases pending before it.
Chairman Davis promptly scotched
this lie. "The dispatch is wholly with
out foundation" he said. Did the
newspapers carry this denial promi-
nently? They did not.
Mr.. Davis also had something to say
about exaggerated press reports about
strikes. "The fact is" he declared
"that since early last November the
interruption of war production by
strikes has been reduced almost to the
vanishing point"
Did the newspapers feature this
statement? They did not.
Instead, the daily press played up
baseless and inflated strike figures put
out as anti-labor propaganda by the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers. Secretary of Labor Perkins pro-
tested. 'The Department of Labor has
been publishing accurate figures on
strikes for the past eight years." she
said. mo newspaper ever mentions
these, however. But when the National
Association of Manufacturers releases
a lot OF inflated figures, the newspa-
pers fall all over themselves to give
them big play"
Here's another story. Again the
United Press was the culprit 1t put
out yarn charging that National
Labor Relations Board investigation of
company unionism at Curtiss- Wright
aircraft plants was delaying airplane
production. 1t was even suggested
that the boards action was holding up
parts needed for American planes
grounded in the Far East. Anonymous
Army and Navy officials were the Eau
thority' for this statement. The story
was widely published.
1t was Immediately and Indignantly
denounced by the National Labor Re-
lations Board, which charged the story
was part of conspiracy to terrorize
the board into abandoning efforts to
protect workers.
"Such attempts to force the board
to abandon it's functions have been
made before" said the official state
ment. "The public should know that
in each instance it has been the boards
experience that prompt hearings have
allayed tension and unrest, which 9TH
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-03-13

it's the truth, that members of this
union have given tremendous amount
of their spare time free of charge to
help cheer up our armed forces and
provide entertainment for them. Did
the Washington Post correct its orig
inal story and print the facts? 1t
did not.
Do you still believe what you read
in the newspapers about labor?
