LOG OF THE i. S. MARINES

The first recruiting officer of
the United States Marine Corps
was Captain Robert Mullan, pro-
prietOr of Tun Tavern, Philadel-
phia, which served as the first
Marine Corps Recruiting Station.
The first Marine Corps banner
picturing a coiled rattlesnake and
carrying the motto Don't Tread
On Me" made it's appearance at
Captain Mullan's tavern in De
cember, 1775. The forerunner of
today's famous Marine Corps Band,
fife and drum corps paraded the
Philadelphia's streets in Marine
Corps recruiting campaigns.

The Marines recruited in Phila-

ing the American Revolution. They
raided a munitions base in the Ba-

aboard Americans vessels, fought
with Washington all through the
campaign in New Jersey, and were
with him at Valley Forge. When

uley Warns n E. Machniss To Ignore Crbers Defeast

Considerable discussion of
women in machine shops was
heard at the New England Con-
ference of the International
Association of Machinists, held
Saturday and Sunday at the
Hotel Bond, Hartford. The
general sentiment was that wO-
men doing machine shop work
should receive equal pay for
equal work as compared to
men. Efforts will be made by
the various lodges to enroll
women machine shop workers
in the LAM, said William J.
Scully, president of Elm
Lodge, No. 42O, New Haven.
ADDRESSED BY HURLEY
Scully and Albert Murphy were
delegates from the Local 42O. Gov.
Robert A. Hurley addressed the
conference, which was sponsored
by Aircraft Lodge 734, of the
Hamilton Standard Propeller Com
pany, Hartford. Thomas Freeman,
Lodge 264, Boston, presided.
Governor Hurley denounced "the
carpers, the critics and the defeatists
who say we are fumbling the war
effort"
1--WE are not fumbling the war eff
fort, we are winning the war;" he
said.
Slowly, surely, relentlessly, we are
driving forward up the hard, diff
fcult road to victory, and we are
going to reach the end of that road
despite the double-talk of the propa-
gandists of pessimism," he asserted.
In paying tribute to labor for its
share in the victory program, the
Governor said, Labor has come of
age under its enlightened, patriotic
and sterling leadership.
CONVERT FOR WAR
SIN less than one year," he con-
tinued, ''we converted the greatest
peace-time industrial nation into
a war factory feeding guns and
equipment to the freedom forces
of the world. We accepted the chal-
Ienge to do in days, weeks and
months what it has taken our enc
mics to do in years. Yet, i'm the
face of this astonishing record of
accomplishment achieved largely
by the workers of America, there
are some, who seek public office,
who persist in throwing about de-
featists' phrases and confusing
slogans"
Governor Hurley said that the
labor haters who in the past fought
labor and organized company unions
suddenly profess their love for labor
only because they want to attract
labor's votes"

politics far enough to see public needs
clearly.
Certainly, we would stand nc
chance of getting these additional inn
provenents if we were to change now
to the very party that has consistently
opposed them-the party that opposed
the establishment of a State Labor
Relations Act, a State Wage and
Hours Act, Rent Control Act and
a State Housing Act. These are the
measures, l remind you again, which
were killed by that group of thought
less politicians in the General Assem-
bly,, who seemed to have no regard for
Labor's rights to collective bargain
ing, to enjoy decent standards of
wages and hours, and to live in decent
homes.
Efforts are promised also for the
provision of adequate housing in all
defense areas and cooperation to the
fullest extent with local and federal
housing authorities. In this connec-
ton, fresh efforts were promised for
a State Housing Act and cooperation
with the federal government in en-
forcement of the Federal Rent Con-
troll Act.
AS to achievements already made
under Governor Hurley, most of them
are already well known to the men,
bers of this audience. We all know
how the Governors Compact for Vic
tory, signed at his urging by repre-
sentatives of industry and organized
labor, while the flames at Pearl Har-
Dor were still raging, has kept the
wheels of war production moving
smoothly and without the loss of a
single hours work by any of us
employed in war goods plants. We
know that more than 200 potential
strikes have been averted by arbitra-
ton of labor management differences
under the terms of the compact, many
of them being personally settled by
the Governor.
We know that the Hurley admins
tration has seen an extension of I'M
employment benefits, particularly in
the reduction of the waiting period
to one week, increases up to $40. a
week in payments, and extension of
the payment period to eighteen weeks.
We know that this administration
also has seen to extension of trade
school and other educational services,
especially for the benefit of rural
workers. We recall that this admins
tration eradicated the dreaded occupa
tional disease of "hatters' shakes"
from the states felt hat industry.
There are many more labor i'm
provements made in less than two
years of which time does not now
permit discussion. AS I said before,
most of them we'll known to us in
any event.
What we must do now is to realize
that the workers have place of para
mount Importance in winning the war,
and that we here in Connecticut have
leader who has shown himself to be
efficient, considerate and trustworthy,
a man who has supported and will
continue to support the leadership Of
our great Commander-in-C Chief, Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
A vote for Governor Hurley is a
vote for progress and vote for
democracy.

In addition to a general wage
Increase Of five cents per hour,
which went into effect several
weeks ago, the new contract in
:orporates a number of other i'm
proved provisions. Among these
IS a maintenance of membership
clause which states as follows:
"The Company agrees that all
employees who are members of
The Union and those who become
members of the Union during the
life of this agreement shall main
tain their membership and re-
main in good standing with the
local union during the life of this
agreement as a term and condition
of employment. Any such member
who does not maintain his or her
membership in good standing with
the Union will be subject to dis
charge upon request of the Union.
If any dispute arises concerning
an employees membership in the
Union, the dispute will be regard
ed as a grievance and will be
handled through the regular grie-
vance procedure"
The Leland contract does not
freeze wages, but instead provides
for opening of the wage issue as
conditions warrant. A 1919 bonus

ployees, and increased recognition
of the Chief Stewards is also pro-

union security makes shop con-
ditions more peaceful and elm
mates friction; reduces the cost
of dues collection; and releases the
time of union officials for more
concerted effort between union
and management to achieve max
imum production.
Acceptance of the panels
recommendations will promote the
war effort by remedying present
gross wage inequalities; by enabl-
ing the steel workers to earn
enough to maintain their health
and efficiency for top production;
and by enabling the union to de-
vote its full efforts to all-impor-
tant war tasks.
It is of urgent Importance there

underestimated. For this reason,
and because the country's major
newspapers are directly influenced
and controlled by Big Business, a
major campaign has been started
on their editorial pages to kill the
panels recommendations.
Dayton's papers r no excep-
ton as can be seen by a close
survey of recent editorials. The
papers are definitely attempting
to mislead the general public by
distorting the WPB recommended
tons, and their effect on general
economic conditions. Efforts are
being made by such papers to
drive a wedge between labor and
the rest of the people. This will
only tend to disunite the nation,
morale, and play into the

ETlQay evening, July ..
The representatives of the CLIO
were composed of officers and
Shop Committee members, repre-
senting some 10000 industrial
workers in key war plants in
Dayton. The conference was held
to promote more COOPERATION
between Labor and Management
on joint War Production Councils.
The assembly of more than $50
CLIO representatives was address,
ed by Major Carl Rich, of the
Cincinnati Ordnance District, who
gave a very inspirational talk OF
the necessity of the full co-opera-
ton of Labor to win the War for
Freedom.
Mr.. Fl. B. Doty, manager of
the Dayton office of the War
Production Board outlined the
functions of the War Production
office in this locality.
A report from each shop was
given On the progress and CO.
operation of the war effort, and a
motion was passed that these re-
ports be sent to the proper
authorities in the WPB.
The meeting was a great sue
cess, and as a result, additional
conferences of this type will be
held by the Cincinnati Ordnance
District, according to a statement
by Major Rich.
. The following resolutions were
adopted by the conference:

world in a life and death struggle
to defend freedom of speech, free

Whereas, we, the representatives
of 10000 industrial workers in
Dayton and the surrounding area
recognize that this great struggle
will largely be decided in the fac
tories, mines, and mills of this
nation, based on the quantity and
quality of guns, shells, tanks, and

Whereas, we further recognize
that through our unions we can
