TREATMENTS HEAD
PAYS TRIBUTE TO
RUSSIAN PEOPLE

Cleveland, Ohio (ILNS). A. F.
Whitney, president of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, paid tribute to
the heroism of the Russian people in
a message to Soviet railroad workers,
on the occasion of "Railwaymen' Day
in the U. S. S. r. He expressed the
hope that the time may not be far
distant when the long-awaited second
front will be opened against Hitler"
His message follows:
"On behalf of the 178,000 members
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men in the United States, Canada,
Newfoundland, Alaska, and the Pan
anna Canal Zone, | extend fraternal
greetings to the railway workers of
the Soviet Union.
Free peoples everywhere know that
the Red Army's heroic resistance to
the Nazi invader has been made pos
sible, in large measure, by magnifi-
cent utilization of railroad transport
facilities under most difficult condi-
tions.
'In saluting the brave people Of the
Soviet Union for their valiant stand
against the enemy of all mankind, we
express the hope that the time may
not be far distant when the long
awaited second front will be opened
against Hitler, thereby Fastening the
day of victory over the fascist bandits
and the hour of liberation of the en-
slaved peoples"

INCREASE IN TEXTILE
PAY ASKED BY NATL
WAR BOARD PANELS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - Rec
ommending wage increases averaging
approximately 71a cents an hour, three
mediation panels of the National War
Labor Board ruled that the wages of
$1,000 textile workers in New England
and II Southern mills are substand-
ard. The recommendation may affect
the wages of 485, 900 textile workers.
In the New England cases, involving
the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea, A. F. of L., and the Textile Work
ers' Union of America, CIO, the en-
ployer and labor members unani-
mously recommended 71a -cents-an-
hour increase instead of the 10 cents
asked by the unions. The public mem
Der favored some increase but was not
specific, suggesting that the amount
should be conditioned on a larger in
crease in the South.
In the case involving the Southern
mills, the employer member recon-
mended an increase of 712 cents an
hour and the labor member, 10 cents
an hour. The public member recon-
mended some increase, but did not in
dicate the amount
Board officials said the wage recon-
mendation, if approved by the board
would mean an increase of approx
mately 1413 per cent for the workers
The increase probably would be ex.
tended to the remainder of the North
ern workers, and probably to the
Southern workers, it was said.
The report of the panels was placed
before the board for the beginning O
public hearings.

Won't Allow Reuse OF
Metal Crowns In Ohio

Columbus, Ohio. - John 7. Brown,
state director of agriculture, this week
ordered his dairy and food inspectors
to halt sale of bottled beverages where
it was found that reused metal caps
were being utilized. This order fol-
lowed a warning several weeks ago
that the state would not agree to re-
use of metal caps. The Ohio Bottlers'
Association has approved the order
and is cooperating with the depart
ment in its effort to protect public
health, according to George E. Koy-
der, chief of the division of foods and
dairies.

BAD DRIVING STILL
GOES ON
(From the New York Times)

\ L l.
Although the figures made public by
the National Safety Council with re-
gard to motor vehicle accidents show
a decline of 80 per cent in fatalities
for June of this year as compared with
June, 1941, and of Is per cent for the
first six months of this year as COM
pared with the same period of last
year, the traffic toll picture is still
disheartening.
1t was inevitable that deaths should
decrease with the reduced driving
brought about by gasoline and tire ra-
tioning. 1t is an Indictment of Amer
lean motorists, however, that, in war
time. when every life, every hour of
working ability and every bit of ma
terial is a precious asset, 14,800 per-
sons should have been killed in six
months on our streets and highways
This total included 8,400 workers, the
loss of many of whom will slow war
production quite aside from their
loss to the community from the per-
sonal or humanitarian standpoint.
An additional 100000 workers were
sufficiently injured in traffic accidents
in the period to be kept away from
their work for day or more

These policies, the resolution said,
create confusion, hinder the war eff
fort and lend "aid and comfort to the
enemy" Because of these character
istics, the union declared its opposi-

dered copy of the resolution sent to
the Pure Oil Company, sponsor of
Kaltenborn, the National Broadcast
ing Company, and President William
Green of the American Federation of

NEGRO EMPLOYMENT
in N. Y. Is STEADILY
RISING, REPORT SAYS

New York City ILNS) While ne
groes comprise only 1.2 per cent of
the 100000 employees in 120 state war
industries recently investigated by the
Committee on Discrimination in En-
ployment of the State War Council, a
report issued by its chairman declares
that negro employment is increasing
steadily and predicts that thousands
more will move into armament pro-
duction before the end of the year"
Industrial Commissioner Freda S.
Miller, chairman of the committee,
stressed the fact that the proportion
of negroes in these plants year ago
was considerably less than az the time
of these visits and that rechecks dur
ing the past few weeks indicates that
the majority of the companies are now
actively seeking negro workers.
For example," she said, zone plant
which employed 60 negroes in March
added 20 in May, another increased its
negro staff from 80 to 105, and still
another which never used colored
person on production in the past, has
accepted sizeable group for its train
ing school. AS the result of pressure
by our committee and other groups,
one New York firm, which previously
excluded them, now is hiring eight
negroes to every white person and
will continue to do so until fair pro-
portion is reached Many plants have
ungraded negroes to supervisory jobs
and others have taken on negro tech
nicians."
"These are just few examples of
the committees accomplishments Sc
lected at random" Miss Miller de-
clared, "and it should be remembered
that they are accomplishments in the
plants we have visited most recently
Much more impressive results can be
found in the plants which abandoned
discriminatory hiring practices volun-
tarily and in those we visited late in
1941 and early this year"

 CT Conditions

BALTIMORE, Aug, 12.--Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, noted anthropologist, said today that the Japs will probably retain their Aleutian footholds until the end of the war.
 They took the islands because they were unopposed, he said. Sud- den storms and constant fogs, be- sides the perilous waters hamper the United States forces. There also are great transportation diff culties due to under water rock formations and storms which can reach hurricane velocity in Is min utes' time frequently make naviga- tion impossible.
 They will pay for it though" he said, T should be sorry if we were in the Japs place."
