CASE FOR LABOR DRAFT IMPROVED

MEMBERS OF THE House Committee on De-
A'A fense Migration have taken heartening
stand against any draft of labor, us proposed by
Paul V. McNutt and Others including, apparently,
The Army and Navy After investigation, the
members remain unconvinced that
there is any need for compulsory placing of work
ers at the present time.
That the case for a labor draft has not been
proved is the consensus Of opinion Of the mem
bers numbering five and headed by Rep. John II.
Tolan Of California man whose progressiVeness
and devotion to democratic principles has been
Labor agrees with the committee. 1t believes
the voluntary system of placing labor has not
been fully tried. This is the testimony Of Wendell
Lund, head of the Labor Production Division of the
War Production Board
Labor would support a compulsory system only
if the voluntary system was shown to be q failure
Now, labor suspects advocates of a labor draft
of leaning toward tOtalitarian methods. 1t wants
democratic methods given fair test first, beev-
ing, with William Green, that "only by relying
upon cooperation instead Of compulSon can we
bring into play the human, spiritual and moral
resources of the entire nation, leaving no fertile
ground for subversive propaganda, unrest and re-
volt"

LABOR WANTS A FREE WORLD

OUR COUNTRY needs labor's loyalty and serV-
~ ice now as never before. At this stage Of the
world conflict the tide of battle is against us. The
United States was unp-epared for war. Because
we believe in democratic way Of life, all our rela-
tionShips are organized on an assumption or peace.
The process of organizing our economy Tor war
will be practically finished by the end OF this year.
From then on shifts will be mainly IN manpoWer.
AS more able-bOdled citizens are needed Tor the
military front, more men and women will have to
be drawn from civilian pursuits to carry on war
production.
Change means both sacrifice and opportunity.
Many of us are having to change our Jobs, some
of us leaving home and family behind, others pull
inc uD stakes and moving our households to new
localities But whether we stay put or move, we
have the same obligation to give the best that IS
in US to our work, whether 1t be Tor the fighting
or the civilian front. Until VIGOROUSLY
through this war for democratic way of life, our
whole lives shall be dedicated directly or indirectly
to the winning of the war We know that there
can be compromise anywhere in the world upon
the issues in this war. If we are for human free
dom with democratic way of life, we are against
the Axis countries with their way OF life
Wage-eaTnerS everywhere are for a democratic
way of life because it stands for equal rights for
all, with assumed opportunity for collective action
in the economic field.
We as an organization freely and voluntarily
gave up for the duration our right to strike and
agreed to longer hours of work. We welcomed and
accepted the opportunity offered us by the War
Production Board to cooperate with management
for more efficient and Speedler production. When
materials are to hand we have beaten record
after record, 50 that country has surprised the
world by the way it has mobzed for war.
We have only begun long struggle which
involves the fate Of human freedom throughout
the world, so 1t IS especially lifting that Labor
Day, 1912, should be day when consider all
that the political principle of equal rights has
meant to Wage-eaIners and how unbearable would
be life without that principle. Our opportunities
for progress and better living are bound up with
that principle. We are willing to go through the
hardShlpS and sacrifices necessary for winning.
With sober understanding that to have free
dom ourselves we must be willing to accord to all
other peoples the same equal opportunity for free
dom regardless of race, creed or Color want
a world Of freedom IN which free people learn how
to use and value Freedom TO this end our services
in this war are dedicated.

RETIREMENT AGE OF OIL.
FIRMS EMPLOYEES RAISED

Washington, -. c. ULNS). - The
War Labor Board for the first time,
has ordered Il change in the retirement
age of Il company'S employeeS-from
60 to 60 years. The CIO Oil Workers
international Union, representing $50
employees of the Champlin Refining
Company at Enid, Okla, said the com
pany had abandoned its own pension
plan after passage of the Social Sc
curity Act, but the retirement age was
kept at 60 whereas old-age insurance
benefits do not begin until age So. The
board ruled "the retirement age of the
employees shall he set at such time
as to coincide with their receiving OF
immediate social security benefits"
must be landed-and there must be
another million in reserve. This. when
it happens, will be the greatest mill
tary operation i'll history.

SCRAP YOUR FIRE HAZARDS

TWO OF THE most serious problems of the wal
are the collection OF scrap to keep the steel
mills going and the prevention Of fires that delay
production and take the lives Of workers.
The Office Of Civilian Defense has wisely de-
cided to tie these two problems together for solu-
ton. One Of The most important steps in fighting
fires is to fight them before they start. And that
means cleaning out all homes plants and stores
and ridding them Of accumulated Materials Much
of this material is saNageabe - therefore the
Office Of Civilian Defense says: Clear it out to
prevent iircS-tuIn it in for salvage"
No one pretends that this plan will entirely
solve both probCmS but certainly it will go a
long way toward dong SO. In peacctimC discarded
junk usually went into the dump-in war time
we need very nearly everything we can get people
to discard Seventeen million tons Of scrap must
be piled in the mill yards if the steel mills are to
keep going 2 hours day days a wcck-in
the coming winter months Much Of this can be
found by cleaning out every nook and Granny III
the country-Whch should be done anyway.
The a. +. Of h., the {. !. o. and the K. K. Is
have asked all Of their affiliate bodies to get be-
hind the scrap campaign. What better time is
there than Fire Prevention Week, October 4 to
October 10? The Office Of Civilian Defense has
asked all unions and all labor management pro
ducton committees to aid local defense councils
in Fire Prevention Week programs.

ment of medical expenses only, inVolv-

ton funds as of August 81 was S9T,
