LABOR TO HAVE BIG HAND IN
GAS RhTIONING
I ABOR UNIONS are to have an important L
- in the new national gasoline rationing plan

I ABOR UNIONS are to have an important role
- in the new national gasoline rationing plan to
be introduced Nov. p.
At all plants and factories employing 100 OF
more workers in war production, workers requir-
ing "B' or &c" supplementary ration card for
gasoline will appear before a joint labor-manage-
ment committee
This plan, already approved by the Office of
Price Administration in Washington for recapping
or second d-grade tire applications by war workers
in share-the-car pools, has been extended to IN
clude applications by such workers for gasoline.
A detailed statement on how the plan should
work is available for union officials through the
Labor Office OPA, Wash, ID. c.
"Under the new mileage regulations, an Or
ganized Transportation Plan must be set up at
most war plants employing 100 or more persons,
the Labor Office statement Declares "before any
Of the employees can get supplemental gas rations.
The official in charge Of the Organized Transport
tation Plan must certify the application Of every
employee who applies for more gasoline than the
4 gallons per week allowed by the A books"
The statement recommends that 'your first
step should be to have the appropriate officer Of
your union get in touch with the management at
the plants where you have membership and tell
them that you want to help set up the plan We
urge every union to take action immediately with
management to organize such plans"

PROGRESS MUST CONTINUE

SOCIAL GAINS are vital part of the war pro-
- gram and must be continued as far as possible,
the American Federation of Labor holds Senator
La Toilette has taken his stand squarely with this
view, in statement that has not been given the
publicity it deserves. In introducing bills to raise
the standards of farm workers and give them the
rights other workers now possess, La Toilette
said
81 challenge the proposition that we freeze our
and social order as of Dec. 7, 1941. The
carefully cultivated theory that Congress and the
President should abdicate their constitutional duty
to preserve and extend democracy on the home
front until hostties cease is the counsel of either
defeatsm reaction
"Many who urge it have not hesitated to at
tempt to destroy many of the hard-won gains of
the last decade for the disadvantaged and under
on the altar of false economy or fan
cied war necessity. The status quo concept of
democracy cannot be accepted. We either go for
ward or backward. This is dynamic era.
'Many have asserted that the failure of the
United States to solve it's internal economic and
social problems was the greatest single threat to
our ideals Of democratic government. Others have
urged, with equal sincerity, that the prime menace
was physical aggression Of foreign totaitarian
force The plain fact is that both elements gravely
threaten. Regardless of past differences on the
primacy of these threats, the United States has
both battles to win. Defeat on either front will
mean the loss of BOTH

NOT BEING GIVEN FAIR TRIA

IS DISCUSSION proceeds on proposals for COM
"A pulsory control Of manpower job freezing and
other forms of q labor draft it is becoming
clearer that the present voluntary system is not
being given a fair trial.
The American Federation of Labor has re-
peatedly pointed out that manpoWer resources
have not been used as effectively as possible and
that great reservoirs Of manpoWer exist which
have not been tapped. For example, William Green
emphasized the other day that vast numbers Of
women could be put to work in war industries be-
fore job freezing is adopted. He also emphasized
that the nation has registration OF women
available for industry.
"All available workers, both men and women,
should be registered and the data tabulated
promptly" Green said. "The supply Of labor as
shown by the survey should be fully utilized and
exhausted before job freezing legislation is en-
acted
Mr.. Green also warned that job freezing is a
serious step, a departure from the democratic
process which "strips men Of freedom OF action"
While the Labor draft discussion goes on,
union members and officers can lay the foundation
for protection Of labor under employment control
legislation by stressing the necessity for writing
into any legislation adequate and definite safe
guards for the worker Provision for occupatonal
defcrment and guarantees of social security accl-
dent prevention and unemployment compensation,
together with full labor representation in agencies
administering any legislation passed, are among
important safeguards required.

A FREE PEOPLE HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW
lBY Elmer Davis. Director, OlIice of Mar

(By Elmer Davis, Director, Office of War Information,
Speaking in MontreHD
WE ALL recognize that information which would
" aid the enemy and which is not already known
to him, must be withheld, but in neither nation
(U. ). or Canada) do we admit the pernicious
doctrine that bad news should be withheld be-
cause 1T might discourage the people; or that it
should be saved up till it can be balanced with
good news
A free people wants to know and has right
to know how The battle is going, and will fight all
the harder if it realizes how hard it must fight for
victory.
Here in Canada you have lately given us a con-
Vlncng demonstration Of that faith in your handl-
ing of the news of the Dieppe raid The report
of your Defense Minister Mr.. Ralston was a
model Of candor and common sense In that opera
ton the casualties were prOportionately very
heavy, but prompt announcement of those casual
ties was proof that your government had faith
in the strength of the Canadian spirit.
And that incident set an example which every
free people in this war should remember and can
proftably follow

II anyway. When / left Slocum

You've no idea how much /

IL couldn't get you out Of my

Answer to yesterdays puzzle.

You do look happy. I'll admit
your news foored me a bit. For
awhile, Edith, 1 really thought
you cared about me.
"But that couldn't have been
possible or you wouldn't have
gotten over IL I'm such a hurry,
would you ?" Joe smiled.
Perhaps" said Edith In a
burst of candor, at was really
getting married 1 cared about,
and you were so uncertain about
that. Jane and I both knew you
couldn't decide between u.s."
"How Is Jane:" asked Joe.
Don't tell me she's married,
too"
II wouldn't know. She got n
terrific rush from a lot of the
new men I'm town, as You can
well imagine, knowing Jane. She
must have gotten at least q
dozen proposals.
Yesterday she suddenly left
town. Nobody knows where
she went, and her mother won't
say. So, as to whether she's
married or going to be or not
going to be-yOur guess is as
good as NINE"
perhaps IL I called her
mother" suggested Joe.

Mrs. Hartwells away, too.
She won't be back till next
Tuesday. Would you like TO

spirits had touched bottom. His

you only today-and here you
are! Can see you right away and

later at a quiet little bar she
What are you doing In

"I'll lead up to that grad
ually," said Jane. "What were
you doing I'm Slocum?"
Among other things, went
there to tell you and Edith that
I've acted like a heel, sort Of
playing fast and loose with you
two swell girls, and having the
gall 10 expect that you'd both
take II. Honestly. Jane, IL was
this way: My realistic side told
me IL should be Edith, and my
romantic side wanted you"
II hate 10 60 philosophical on
you so early In the evening, Joe,
but In my humble opinion, IL
doesn't matter. which side of your

he signed several weeks ago did
not say what he thought it did.
The ordinance regulates over
time for city employees to so hours
a year to be taken in time off. II
more than so hours is required,
Common Council must approve IL
and this time (the ordinance says)
must be paid for in cash.
'Tf 1 had known that the ordl-

would have vetoed IT," the mayor
told the council today:
He asked the council to amend
the law To eliminate the cash pay
ment feature.

to draft the amendment.

Edith was quiet and fair and

iouse like nobody's business. Jane
vas dark with gray eyes and a
ice wit. Joe hadn't found out
whether she could do anything
PRACTICAL around the house or not.
There had been so little oppor-
unity. Wherever Jane was, things
happened. Usually a party OF some
ort and usually Jane was the life

Wasn't there some sort of the
ry floating around against marry
ng a too-popular, lively girl?
quiet, steady ones were supposed
o make the best wives.
Still, though she was always in
ienand among the not-too-plenti-
al eligible males of Slocum. IL.

consider that Jane had never
'efused Joe date.
