COMPETITION THREATENED
in GOVERNMENT ORDERS,
UNION CHIEF WARNS

Seattle, Wash. ULNS).-Dave Beck,
vice president of the International
brotherhood of TeamsterS, has warned
employers not to take advantage of
government orders to smash competi-
ton. TO do 50, he declared in an open
statement, may bring about 100 per
cent bureaucratic control of industry
and plunge it toward specialization"
I'VE are insisting that before orders
are issued affecting the welfare of our
drivers and their families that we
shall be given an opportunity to sit
down with the employers and the gov
elnment officials and discuss the prob
lens involved Beck said
I'VE are of the opinions that orders
have been issued that will certainly
result in the crushing of competition
and the Socializing of industry. 1t is
time for the employers to wake up and
understand the situation"

WLB MEMBERS DENOUNCE ECONOMIC
FEUDAIISTS
THE POTTERS HERALD publishes

THE POTTERS HERALD publishes below
a declaration by Wayne Morse, public
member of the War Labor Board. 1t was
carried by some OF the daily newspapers but,
despite its tremendous Importance, was
buried deep on inside pages. This is one of the
most pertinent statements on labor and en-
plOyers issued since the founding of the WLB.
1t follows:
'Some of the WLB critics, especially in
the ranks of industry, gather together Occa-
sionally and pass scathing resolutions, charg-
ing the board with rendering eXtra-legal deci-
si0ns, of being partial and biased in its opin-
ions, of uSurping the powers OF congress, and
of imposing the closed shop upon American
industry
Such beating Of breasts and pounding Of
the drums of economic warfare is rather
cheap performance in time of war, in view of
the fact that the open book record of the
board simply does not support the charges
set forth in such resolutions.
''In fact, such public antics cause many to
suspect that those few leaders of American
industry who make such attacks are doped by
the philosophy OF economic feudaliSm and
that they have miSinterpreted the trend of
events by jumping TO the conclusion that the
time is ripe to take advantage of war cOndi
tiOns and, in the name Of patriotic sanctions,
carry on fight against uniOnism.
The number of these W0uld-be feudal
indeed, but they are responsible for many
labor problems because, too frequently, labor
unjustiiably Judges most employers by the
unS0und practices Of these few.
''Thc small minority Of employers who are
opposed in principle to the final determination
Of all labor disputes for the duration Of the
war by the War Labor Board, il ail other
methods fail, know full well that as long as
the hand Of the War Labor Board is sup
ported they cannot succeed with an anti
union drive.
They know full well that if they could get
rid OF The War Labor Board or emasculatc
its powers through legislation, on hamstring
it with dIatory legaiistc devices so that it
cannot act quickly and Immediately in the
final determination Of a labor dispute. they
would be in good position TO destroy the
unions in their plants.
''They are too ncar-sighted TO see that if
they succeeded in their schemes they would
seriously in jure the war effort aS a result of
the domestic conflict they would stir up, and
i'm the long run they would endangcr the
preservation of our system OF free enterprise.
"The fOrWard-ioOking employers of Amer
ica today recognize that unions are here to
stay.

STRIKE MAKING BOSSES

Y ,ABOR HAS KNOWN for a long time that there
A1 are strike-making employers men who do
not want to get along with their organized en-
poyees, who prefer discord and trouble and
strikes, to peace and cooperation. The War Labor
Board caught one such employer red handed the
other day. This is what the board said:
"No employer can be allowed to antagonize
and provoke the union to such an extent as to
bring about a strike and then expect the board to
refuse any form Of security to the union because
0f that strike"
The employer involved in this dispute was the
Worcester Pressed Steel Co, The War Labor
Board found, after investigation, that this firm
had deliberately provoked strike Of three days
for the purpose of putting the union in a bad
light both with the public and the labor board. 1t
ordered this company to sign union security con-
tract immediately.
1t stands to reason that if a union is to be
punished for calling illegal strike, then the en-
ployer should be penalized for provoking walk
out

WHY WE ARE FIGHTING
.InIlln;iIl

lrom the Electrical Workers ,ourmD
WE ARE FiGHIING war so that we can main
" tain way of life through the future which
we have found through past experience to be not
perfect, but pleasant, decent and dignified.
That way OF life to the average man is made
Iup of many small things, which, grouped together
comprise such high-sounding titles as democracy
and freedom.
These little things consist Of taking off your
shoes and hosting your feet up on the porch rail
ing after the days work is DONE of having a few
beers with the boys on Saturday night, of pulling
down the blinds and locking the door and answer
ing the doorbell only if you feel like it, or respect
ing your nelghbors' privacy, of going to the
movies or to church whenever you take d notion
1t is Just such things tina we are shedding
blood and sweat and tears to maintain.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS WIN
DECISION AGAINST CIO

Washington, ID. c. - The National
Labor Relations Board announced it
had dismissed Il Congress of Industrial
Organizations protest and had certi-
fled the American Federation of Labor
International brotherhood of Electri
cal Workers as collective bargaining
agent for employees of the Cornell
Dubilier Corporation at South Plain
field, \. ].
The CIO had protested the conduct
of an election at the plant July % in
which the AFL union received 495
votes and the CIO 4O3, with IA voting
for no union.
I'VE find that the evidence does not
support the allegations and that there
is nothing in the conduct of the com
pany or of their representatives which
would warrant us in setting aside the
election" the NLRB ruling said.

|HT IS A FINE thing that men at the lathe drill,
press or stamping machine, or those putting
things together on assembly and sub-asSembly
Hines, who have ideas for improving the processes
lat which they work should receive conspicuous
recognition for putting them to use. The ten war

Imay be proud of themselves. They are patriots
|Who have done lot to win this war.
More significantly, these men represent tens
Iof thousands of workers who use their heads as
lWell as their hands, and whose total contribution
Ito the general welfare in war or peace is incacul-
liable. BY them know that "labor" is not an alb

WAY TO SAVE TIRES
RUBBER DIRECTOR Jelfers has

RUBBER DIRECTOR Jeffers has asked the
American people to act as l3O million com
mittee of one" to rid the nations streets, alleys
and highways Of broken glass, nails, and other
tire hazards.
Broken glass nails, loose rocks and the like
cause much tire destruction. They can easily be
removed if all Of us do a little. We can retread q
worn tire, but one that has been badly cut on
bruised is Il lost national asset he pointed out
Jefcrs suggested that the mayor of each
municipality take the lead in the cleanup effort
in his community and that county commissioners
take the initiative in rural areas. He stressed the
need for special activity by operators of parking
lots and those who live or work on unpaved side
roads and lanes, including contractors engaged in
building projects.

SERIOUS CHARGE

THE AMERICAN Federation of Labor declares
in it's monthly survey that democratic control
machinery, with adequate labor representation
has not been set up in civilian war agencies, with
one exception AS a result, the AFL asserts
democracy is indeed at the cross roads in this
country and the next few weeks may decide
whether we will save here at home the way OF
life we are fighting to preserve"
The exception cited by the AFL is the War
Labor Board Actually" says the federation, the
War Labor Board is the only agency which is
organized from it's top policy max
ing body throughout all subordinate offices The
War Labor Board itself is tripartite body with
IAN equal number of representatives from man
agement, labor and the public; and in the lO
regional offices just set up the director has labor
land management advisors and a labor-manage-
ment panel to pass on cases.
"ln no other agency has encouragement
public representation been required throughout
The charge made by the ArL is a serious one
and would seem to call for prompt remedial ac-
ton by Government authorities. If no action is
taken, the trend toward dictatorship in the war
agencies will retard, not help the war effort.

EDUCATION DEFINED
.(From the New York Times

~ T77T7 VT0 NV IVTN TTTTN''I
THE OTHER DAY, on the radio, Lyman Bryson
presented pretty good definition of education.
"EducatOn,' he said "S, in fact anything
that we do for the purpose of taking advantage of
the experience of some one else"
The definition is of that particularly stimulat-
ing kind which tempts one to expand it into an
essay. This, in fact, is precisely what Mr. Bryson
himself proceeded to do But it would be prehaps
more educational if each one of us expanded it
into an essay out of his own experience Which
reminds one that the reason some people are
chronicaly uneducable is that they fail to take
advantage not only Of the experience of others
but even of their own.

The Holiday Season. All, yes, the
Holiday Season.
Last year the Holiday Season came
while smoke still lowered over Pearl
Harbor. Few, indeed, could feel much
of what is called "the Christmas
spirit" under the pail of that cal
amity.
But we got through it and we plung-
ed into preparations for war that is
to call up every ounce of energy and
every ounce of material that our ma
ton can produce.
Today every nerve is strained to en-
able this nation, through its armed
forces, to kill as many enemies as pos
sible and to do it as quickly as pos
sible.
That's what it bOilS down to. We
have got to blast into complete defeat
the military might of Germany and
Japan. That is our Christmas mes
sage and our job until it is done.
4 X X
And so there are many who think
that somehow there is a big gap be-
tween our nations job of killing and
the gospel of the Prince of Peace.
So many people think only of
Prince of Peace and never of mill
tant crusader. They forget 81 bring
you a sword J"
Were there also, may we ask, a few
malefactors among the money chang
ers who went down for the final count?
It's fair questiOn-there may have
been.
There was definitely something I'M
compromisingly for the right and
equally definitely evil did not go un-
punished.
There is a lot more than the Ten
Commandments about the doctrine of
the Prince of Peace. And those who
feel chill of reluctance about the
business of killing enemy troops had
better look it up
And especially so, since our armed
forces are doing rather well at the job
right now.
OF course those phonjes and enemies
within who talk about doubts of the
rightness Of the United Nations cause
will have Il difficult time with them
selves
But Americans who KNOW we are
right-and that is all but handful
of us-will see the thing clearly and
the Holiday Season will be glad with
"A brightness and purity beyond COM ,
pare.
At last in this old world of torture
and oppression, the cause of people as
opposed to power is getting somewhere.
When this war is over, the road will
be open to people.
OF course the details of freedom and
of the new bill of rights for the world
will not be all worked out
But the road will be open and it will
be safe.
Grandiose banditry will no longer be
on the road where people go. That will
be something wholly new in the world
the issue toward which this enor-
nous war moves us implacably.
Be- therefore, of good cheer. Be filled
with a great satisfaction that the
strength of right is at last proving
greater and more formidable than the
strength of evil Through great pain
and great sacrifice we move toward
the light. Rejoice that it is so. Rejoice,
America and all the world !-CAIW.
