Not ELM Trees

Out in Columbus, Ohio, they lost
$500 elms in two years from dis
ease. Even the forest trees died of
the same trouble. The dreaded
Dutch elm disease came in for con-
domination again and the govern
ment agencies got busy. Then dis
covery was made! 1t was not the
Dutch elm disease at all. It was
reported that virus was the trou-
Bile and "phlom necrosis" is the
new enemy. In fact it is said the
Dutch elm disease is on tine wane
and this new threatening condition
opens up another battle front for
scientists.

ANSWERING "PROFITEERiNG" CHARGE

| ,ABOR UNIONS have been accused of "profi-
- tcering" in war industries by eVNing large
initiation fees and dues This charge has been
by William Green, showing how unions
use the funds gathered for various benefits, help
full to members and the nation. 1t is being answer
ed again by the unions response to the Govern
ment's appeal to buy savings stamps and
bonds.
The international and the local unions, the
state and city fedcrationS are making large pur-
chaseS of bonds, out Of their union funds and are
also undertaking big campaigns among THEN
to secure individual pledges.
The American Federation of Labor is pressing
a drive to sell 4 billion dollars worth of bonds and
stamps to union workers in more than 800 cities
The international Ladies' Garment Workers Union
is asking every member to subscribe two weeks
pay to be checked off by employers on the Install
mcnt plaza total Of S20,OOO0OO.
Shop chailmen or shop stewards in number
of unions are keymen in these bonds and Staml
In organized factories the appea
made by the union carries more weight than that
of the employer. 1t is reported that one of the
best selling arguments used by the chailmen is
that the purchase of Government securities now
will help to cushion postwar depression. Workers
are aware Of the danger and anxious to help warc
it off.

LYING PROPAGANDA DRIVE

SECRETARY of the Navy Knox is one Of the
- long list of high government officials who have
declared in strong terms against suspension of the
1O-hour week law. In testimony before the House
Naval Affairs Committee the Secretary said SuS-
pension Of the 4O-hour week would in effect, CON
stitute demorallzlng wage cut, cause diSsatSfaC-
ton and dissension and result in confusion and
delay to war production.
Knox spoke plainly but no more plainly than
other government officials concerned directly with
war production who have opposed destruction Of
present labor standards. They know at first hand
that suspension Of labor laws would be a blow at
the nations effort.
Yet members Of Congress of the stripe Of Rep
rescntative Howard w. Smith of Virginia persist
in pressing drastic proposals for suspension Of law
legislation. And Smith and his kind are cggcd on
by a horde of pre- JUDGED newspaper editors and
by rcactionaly employers who seek
to deal a blow at unionSm under cover Of the Wal
and by plain citizens who have been
deceived by unscrupulous and lying propaganda.
For the spreading of this false propaganda
the daily newspaper must bear a large part of the
blame. AS the American Federation Of Labor
says: THAT the anti-labor campaign has any
chance Of success results from public ignorance of
the true facts, situation for which the faulty re-
porting job done by the national press can be held
responsible

LABOR'S PART IN WAR EFFORT

NO GROUP in the country has greater stake in
~ this war than labor That has been said over
and again by union leaders of all shades Of
opinion-in both the American Federation Of La
Dor and Congress Of Industrial Organization. And
the war outcome depends as much on labor at the
bench, the machine, the assembly line, as it does
on the soldier, sailor Marine and pilot at the
fighting front. 1t is which threatens to in
wade homes, factories schools, shopping centers.
In order to catch up with those countries that
have long been preparing for aggression, civilian
industries must be converted to war industries
many things now in daily use will become scarce !;
prices strain upwards against whatever cuIbs are
invested; new industrial plants must be built and
be restrained; new sources of labor supply must
be tapped as millions of men are taken from civil
ian life into the armed forces.
SO the war means drastic charges in the pat
tern Of millions of lives particularly in the lives of
the wage-earners and their families. Every labor
union in the country is faced with new problems
and added responsibilities.
Labor now shares with management the re-
spOnsibility for production to point where vic
tory come within our grasp as Chairman
Donald Nelson Of the War Production Board on
March told the radio listeners of America. He
has asked management and workers engaged in
primary war production to set up joint manage
ment-abor committees within each plant to run
this drive to push production up to and beyond the
Presidents goals. He has also asked these joint
committees 10 provide machinery whereby eacn
man may submit ideas and suggestions for doing
this job better
Not only as producers, but as consumers, and
as citizens Of threatened democracy, union men,
bers are in this war to the finish.
Labor unions have been accused of "prOfiteer-
ing in wSr industries by levying large initiation
fees and dues This charge has been answered by
William Green, showing how unions use the funds
gathered. 1t is being answered again by the
unions response to the Governments appeal to
buy bonds. The international and the local unions,
the State and the city federations are making
large purchases as organizations out Of their
union funds, and are also undertaking huge cam
paigns among their membership to secure ind-
vdual pledges The American Federation Of Labor
recently undertook to sell billion dollars worth
of bonds and stamps to union workers in 8O2
cities throughout the country
The shop chairmen or shop stewards in a num-
Der Of unions are the keymen in these bonds and
savings-stamp campaigns. In organized factories
the appeal made by the union carres more weight
than that of the employer 1t is reported that one
of the best arguments used by the chairman is
that the purchase of Government securities now
will help to cushion the postwar depression.
Workers are apparently aware of the danger and
anxious to help ward it Off
Some unions are taking wage increases in the
form of stamps and bondS-Or in part payment
of such increases.

COMMENT ON WORLD :
EVENTS

German nerves are beginning TO
crack.
This is not only indicated by Hit
ler's frenzied speech of April 26, before
the Reichstag, demanding absolute
power, but also by underground re-
ports which reach the offices of the
International Transport Workers Fed
GRAFTON in London with regularity.
The Germans in the occupied countries
live in constant fear and under Il
nervous strain that taxes their physi-
cal and moral resources.
Sabotage on shipping, railway lines
and other transportation means reapS
an ever increasing toll from the in
vaderS. The transport workers within
and outside of Germany play Il leading
part in the silent struggle for the lib
GRAFTON of Europe. Men in trains, rail
road yards and ship docks risk their
lives so that German preparations for
continued warfare may be impeded.
Nazism's preferred method of deal
ing with recalcitrant transport work
ers is to confront them with trumped
up charges of pillage and lOoting and
quickly do away with them. A short
time ago Il number of German rail
waymen in Berlin We're tried on these
charges and found guilty. The court
sentenced the railroad employees, Paul
Gomoinski, Herbert Koerting and
Ernst Hartmann to ten years hard
labor but emphasized that the men
had no previous convictions, had long
periods of service with the railroads
to their credit and had always shown
themselves to be good and reliable
workers.
This is one of the cases which Hitler
had in mind when he instructed the
puppet ReichStag TO grant him unlimit
ed, and unconditional authority to over
ride, by means of eXtra-legal action,
any decisions of the Judiciary which
are not TO his liking.

News from the former transport
workers organization III Norway is
most encouraging, the International
Transport Workers Federation says.
An underground news service has been
organized and is widely distributed.
Foreign news broadcasts heard with
concealed receiving sets are circulated
by means of mimeographed letters.
Distribution is relatively easy since the
overwhelming majority of the NorWe-
gian people Sympathize with the oppo-
SitiOn.
German agents and Norwegian Quis-
ling StOrmtrOOperS usually hide near

who mail large numbers of envelopes.
Serious street brawls often result in

Two hundred and thirty acts of
transportation sabotage have occurred
in France during the past six months.
Over 800 arrests are reported each
week from Paris alone, with many OF
