Union Unity

The convention went on record
calling upon the CLIO to seek i'm
mediate utilization with the Anglo
Soviet Trade Union Committee,
and proposed united action with
the AFL and Railroad Brother
hoods to secure world-wid labor
unity in the shortest possible time.
Delegates also urged that the
just request of India for national
independence be granted, and call
ed upon President Roosevelt to
intervene in this matter.
Locals were asked to"Assure
equal opportunity of employment,
advancement and leadership for
all regardless of race or religion"
and urged the same status to
Negroes and other minority groups

Offers Help

Lem MARYLAND, President of
Frigidaire Local 801, asks that
any MGR employee who wishes
information or help in organiza-
ton problems to stop in at the
Local 8O1 office. He says, IT will
be happy to do anything that I
can to help in the organizing of
MGR. AS the only large industrial
plant in the city who does not
enjoy the benefits that a real
Union means to it's members, MGR
employees have my very deepest
sympathies. I hope that I can help
to bring everything good in the
hours, wages, and working condi-
tons of these fellow citizens"
This is the attitude of the Pres
ident of one of the largest UE
Locals. We are glad to tell our
readers that every member of
every local il more than willing
to spend time In addition to their
regular Union duties to help other
workers regardless of where they

Voting is a privilege, as well as
a patriotic duty. American boys
are giving their lives on the far
flung battlefields of the world to
preserve that right for future
generations of Americans. Self
government is the greatest tradi-
ton of the American people, and
if we fail in our duty to our
country, we will have destroyed
the first bases of American free
dom.
This War will be won. It will
be won by a free nation, fight

freedom. YOU ear do your part

Everyone is busy during these

The presentation of Army-Navy

have received, was made by Com
mander B. J. Connel, general in
spector of naval Aircraft for the
Central District. The pins were &C
cepted by P. H. Rutherford, Plant
manager of Delco, and Charles Fl.
Dill, member of the joint Labor

Committee. Commander Connel in
his speech asked for full coopera-
ton in the drive for more war

Taps" were sounded for the
Delco boys in service, reported

The U. S. Army band from Fort

during the ceremony and were
given a rousing ovation from the
assembly.
This is a stirring example of

Second Front Now

Among the outstanding resolu-
tons passed at the convention was
the one urging the immediate
opening of a western front SO that
the war can be brought to a more
speedy conclusion thus saving
millions of lives" The resolution
went on to say, I'VE condemn
vigorously and without compro-
mise pro-Nazi appeasers, fifth
columnists, enemy agents and
those who speak for them WHITING
ly or unwittingly for delaying the
opening of a western front"
The problem of increasing war
production was thoroughly ana
lyzed in another resolution which
demanded greater labor p%articipa-
ton in the planning and admin
istrative branches of the Wa
Production Board. The resolution
recommended a complete review
of existing contract ALLEGATION,
urged effective action to secure
maximum production of every
critical raw material and con-
demned the role of certain 81 a
year men who have refused to
give consideration to the produc-
ton plans and programs advanced
by representatives of organized
labor.

FDR Economic Program
Supported

Of extreme importance to all
UE members and their families
was the action taken by the Con-
vention concerning the adoption
of President Roosevelt's economic
program, outlined in his Labor
Day speech. The Union urged i'm
mediate and aggressive acton to
secure congressional support for
the program.
This resolution, together with
a resolution recommending greater
political activity by Local Unions
in the coming elections, and the
resolution outlining a solution for
the war production problems now
facing the nation, all lay the base
of intensive work by the entire
UE membership, to achieve VIC
tory in the war, and greater secur-
ity in the peace which will follow.
The Eighth Annual Convention
of the UER & MWA has made
many real contributions to its
members, to the nation, and to
the democratic world. The dele
gates present took a firm stand
for progress, for victory, and for
national unity, and pledged to 60
forward building the UE until it
is the LARGEST NATIONAL
UNION IN THE CLIO.

MILESTONE

MILESTONE
What happened at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1e41
fore-ordained that September 7, 1912 - Labor Day Dould
be the greatest and most momentus Labor Day IN the history
Of America. For on December 7 America eoos ruthlessly
Gttacked-Gnd in the brief moment that it took treacherous
Jap bombers to stab us'in the back, Americas hope for peace
apas seoept aa0ay and our cherished right to remain a free
nation aoas dangerously challenged.
Almost overnight the greatest industrial nation
on earth, fully aroused for the first time, rallied to
answer this challenge to speed preparations for
battle. Not alone In terms OF fighting forces the
Army, the Navy, the Air Corps, the Marines but
with equal determination i'm terms of working forces.
With amazing speed, factories, even whole industries,
were converted to war production. Mechanics suddenly
became aviation workers, rubber men became barrage
balloon makers, carpenters turned into ship builders.
A nation was at work labor and management alike
-. "a hours a day, Z days a week -. to win a war!
And in the feeo short months since Pearl Harbor this
nation has achieved the greatest o0ar production record in
the history of the world. America has already demonstrated
not only its WILL to eoin, but its ABILITY to ein.
So on Labor Day, 1912, American Labor paused
briefly to recognize this heartening national achieve
ment and to declare to the American people, our
fighting forces, our government, and to the whole world
that the job will continue to be done, that about pro-
duction will continue until victory is won.
But American Labor declared more than that ON Labor

necessary to a0inx sa,is aoar as speedily as possible eoiI be
turned out, but d. a. goods at hand, in the air and in the
battlefield, American Labor challenges the deluded Aris
idea that SIave Labor can out-produce Free Labor. With q
resounding promise that Free Labor aou arin, American
Labor holds ont the hand of hope to the ensaved nations OF
the acord.
Labor Day this year had a broader meaning and
a wider purpose than ever before. Labor paused to
salute the stupendous job already done and to dedicate
it untiring effort to the still greater task ahead.
Hail the proof that Free Labor is outproducimg Nazi
Slave Labor and nal continue to do so.
2-Proclaim the willingness of American Labor and the
American People to make the sacrifices necessary to
oictory.

Speed Makes Pep
Choice Over Wright
For Feather Title
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Chalky
Wright, who recently halted Lulu
Costantino's string of victories at
56, is the 5-to-9 underdog tonight
against Willie Pep, who enters the
Madison Square Garden ring with
SO consecutive triumphs to his credit.
Wright, who admits to 80 years
but is known as the Civil War vet
eeran" among certain sections of the
boxing fraternity, halls from Los
Angeles, where he once was chauf-
feur for Movie Actress Mae West
He holds the New York designation
as the world featherweight king,
and his title will be in jeopardy to-
night.
Pep. who is 81 and has been fight
ing for three years, makes his home
in Hartford. Conn, the same town
which produced Louis Kid Kap-
Ian and Bat Battalino, former feath-
er kings.
The youngsters speed is expected
to offset the Negroes ring knowl-
edge and to bring him the title.
The bout is scheduled for the cham
pion2hip distance of Is rounds, an
other feature in Pep's favor if the
scrap goes the entire distance.
The punching prowess of both
and the nearness of Connecticut,
where Pep has done most of his pre-
vious fighting. is expected to lure a
throng of 1900 to the Garden.
Jackie Wilson of Pittsburgh is the
National Boxing Association cham
pion in the featherweight class.
