Another conference with Mr. Aitken

lack Of cooperation We receive from
our employers. but when our own MEM

We are sorry 20 seia,rt the recent
death of Brother George Walowski,
(better known to many pOtterS as
George, the watch repairman on the
fourth floor who died after long
illness at Whithaven. And last Friday
saw the passing of Brother William
Baker, who was one of the old time
members of IL. He was very active
in the affairs of the local at one time
and one of the originatorS of our pres
ent contingent fund. which has done so
much good. Our very sincere sympathy
is extended the families of these two
brothers.
A donation of $1,000 was forwarded
to the ladies of l.. L. 10. who are act

the Hanover Street Soldiers Club.
These sisters also took up q collection
in the shop on April 18th, and we be-

Those in the running are: Lance An

Davies, Peter Duboski, John Richards,
John Simpson, Russell Sleepy, Ross

We hear a great deal of talk these
days about initiation but as far as our

like to see some tangible evidence. 1t

last week, so in all probability we will
be cut down to Il few days week.

Washington, u. G. - Vigorous con-
demnation of the terrorism imposed on
the people of Norway by the NaZi die
tatOrs and whOlehearted praise for the
resistance of the Norwegian people to
the destruction of their democracy

Green of the American Federation OF
Labor i'm letter sent to Mr.. Wilhelm
Munthe de Morgenstierne, the Minister
of Free Norway to Washington, on
April 8, the second anniversary of Hit
ler's attack on Norwegian territory.
Stressing the rebellion of all classes
\ of Norwegians against the Nazi de-
crees, Mr.. Green expressed special
sympathy for the families of Figgo
Hansteen and Rolf VikstrOm, Norwe-
gian labor officials, who were shot by
a NaZi firing squad, and for the many
other Norwegian martyrs who have
been murdered for their loyalty to
democracy and liberty.
The text of Mr.. Green's letter fol-
lows:
On this day, two years after the
eacherOus invasion of Norway by
the Nazis l hail the courage of the
peOple of your country. Both In Nor
way and at the side of the forces of
the United Nations, they have fought
increasingly for the restoration of the
rights and liberties of their democratic
country.

Green Praises NorwaY's Resistance
To Nuzi Totulituridn Dictatorship

We know the terrors of Nazi occu-
patton, the tOrtures and beatings of the
GestapO, their concentration camps.
their treacherous Quislings, their
threats and reprisals Despite all this
your people have been answering in
their resistance. Your teachers have re-
fused to poison the minds of Norwegian
youth at the command of the invader :;
your bishops have resigned in a body ::
your Supreme Court has resigned {;
your doctors have given up their po-
sitions at hospitals rather than obey
the tyrant's command.
The conduct of Norway's workers
challenges the admiration of the en-
tire world. Through the years they
had built up by sacrifice and struggle
a powerful, democratic trade union
movement. The Nazis destroyed these
free organizations with one blow. But
when the OppressOrs tried to force Nor
wegian workers to enslave themselves
under Nazi-controlled puppet unions,
they flatly refused.
The leaders of Norway's free labor
movement paid with their lives for
their courage.

sympathy to the families of VigeO

Plenty Of Coal Available
Quickly, Producers Claim
Earlier story on Page ALL

NLdIIlCi Stoiy On age a-lsJ
By the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March
7.-Should emergency needs demand
greater coal supplies, West Virginia
producers could step up output by
as much as so per cent "on a days
notice" spokesmen for the industry
said today.
Their comment was inspired by
reports from Washington that the
Government was investigating
possible shortage of bituminous coal
which might entail Federal alloca-
ton of available supplies.
Harry Kennedy, labor commissions
er of the KanaWha Operators
Association, said. We are operating
only about 50 per cent OF capacity
and We could 60 up to 100 per cent
on a days notice"
So far. Mr.. Kennedy added, the
producers have received assurances
from carriers that facilities are
adequate to met any demands
A similar view was taken at
Bluefleld, where Secretary w. E.
Koepler of the Pocahontas Opera
tors Association declared that mines
in his district could increase their
capacity "25 to so per cent. and
some mines even more than so per
cent" on short notice
