One farmer had shot another's

a-lawing with q tenacity that be-
spoke great stubbornness or
deep devotion to his pet, for Mr..
Mitchell tells US that the suit

with hung juries and that the
costs had been considerable.
MR.. MITCHELL, In his youth,

broken string Of defeats has been
rung up by the Lewis all-union
outfit In lts contests throughout
the country.
Most recent indication Of Lewis
disregard Of all existing labor
unions was the appearance of Dis
trict so organizers at the Sun Ship
yards. near Philadelphia. They
sought to cajole former coal miners
now working in the shipyard to
join their outfit rather than the
CLOS Marine and Shipbuilding
Workers, which has been running
strong campaign at the yards.
Evidence of the unenthuslastic
attitude of the UNIV top leadership
toward the war was found In the
last issue Of the Mine Workers
Journal. It's joke page was de-
voted largely to jokes OF q de-
featist nature, while the lead
editorial professed to see the les
son Of the Nov. 3 elections as a
mandate to the Republicans to be-
come q peoples party"

cepted as equals. But. never before
have they had such enormous re-
sponsibilities.
obviously we must show our
mettle in the battle Of production.
We have already shown that we
can do 1t. We must do more.
obviously, we must take our
places as leaders of our trade UNI
ions to replace those leaders who
go into the armed forces. The time
is approaching when a woman who
fails to step in as an active trade
union leader, when she has the abil-
ity. will be called a coward or q
traitor to the country. For with
out unions. the United Nations can
not win the war and without wo-
men moving rapidly and boldly into
leadership. unions will be crippled.
"As Pres. Philip Murray of the
CLIO told the Boston convention
Of the Congress of Women's
Auxiliaries: The future Of the
CIO movement will substantially
depend on the support that the
organization Is given by women
In industry and on the part
played by the leaders who have
guided the course Of your organi-
zati0n.'
THE greatest field for organic
ing the unorganized today is the
field Of women workers. 1t is our
job to prepare them for organiza-
ton.
These are our new rights, forced
by manpower shortage in a war
emergency. These are our new OBJ
legations in this emergency"

The pamphlet, which appeared at
about the same time the War Labor
Board issued a general order
authorizing employers to equalize
the wages of women with those of
men without prior Board approval,
holds that "wage rates for women
should be the same as for men,
including the entrance rate"
KEEP STANDARDS HIGH
eft Is of the utmost importance
to the men leaving industry for
the armed forces, as well as to
the women war workers, that
wage standards should be MAIN
tanned ut this time when large
new groups Of women are carry

Raymond Walsh, CLIO research and
education director, told a forum
here sponsored by Science and So
ciety magazine.
"Instinctively, workers under
stand that they are the first and
last foes of fascism, and the labor
movement is the greatest organized
force with which to break fascist
power and guard humanity's free
DOM" Walsh declared. There Is
here a deep sense of destiny under

Walsh reviewed various Clio pro-
duction plans offered to the govern
ment since Pres. Murray first in
troduced his Industry Council Plan
and related instances of sharp in
creases in output when employers
cooperate with labor.
Other speakers included Frieda

With this statement, Faye Steph-
enson, president of the CLIO Con-
gress of Women's Auxiliaries, urged
all CLIO women to accept the first
anniversary of the Pearl Harbor at
tack as a challenge to do a greater
fighting job wherever you are-on
the production line. in the home. in

Gus other jobs where women must

Mrs. Stephenson noted that wo-
men Of the CLIO had already made
great contributions to the war eff

emergencies. Thousands and then
tens of thousands of women who

For Women
Won at Ford

Toronto, Dec. 5-More than 49,
600 autoworkers, members Of Can
ada's largest union, Local 200 UAW-
CLIO. this week won a struggle for
the principle of equal pay for equal
work which Is expected to have ma
tional significance.
The settlement, which resulted in
the Ford Motor Co. of Canada,
agreeing to the principle of equal
pay for women, ended a five-day
strike in which everyone walked
out.
While negotiations were in pro-
gress, the Ontario War Labor
Board rejected the company's appli-
cation to employ women at so cents
an hour. The strike began over
the employment of 81 women, some
Of them on jobs formerly held by
men. They were paid S75 monthly,
contrary to an order-in-council
which provides that method of pay
ment shall not be changed and
rates shall not be reduced.

Prolongation of the strike was
caused for several days by the re-
fusal of both the dominion and On
tario governments to accept respon-
sibility for establishing the princi-
pie of equal pay for equal work.
Union officials learned from domin-
ion government circles that an or
der-in-council was being formulated
to set wage rates for women on a
lower basis for women and this
also contributed to delaying the set

LETTER FROM MARINE
Typical of the resentment Of

prominence in a recent issue Of
the Pittsburgh Press. Signed by
PFC Thomas A. Ryan, an enlisted
member OF the U. s Marines, the
letter said:
1--WE are fighting against dictator
ship in this war for the preserva-
ton of democracy and four free
doms. We are ready to lay down
our lives for that cause. Yet in
the United Mine Workers there Is
vicious dictatorship as that Of
the Axis.
Instead Of Hitler the dictator
Is John L. Lewis. know the
membership of the United Mine
Workers has strong friendship

dunn would prove they want to
be with the CLIO. But Dictator
Lewis rules otherwise.
Nov In District 5 this same man
is seeking to destroy the autonomy
which we enjoyed. He has APP
pointed a commission to try Pat
Pagan. This Is done In hopes OF
defeating Pat In the December
election. He knows Pat will fight
against yielding autonomy; and
Lewis also knows that his hand
picked slate will do whatever he
says. The price to be paid will be
to yield the district to Lewis-in

NEW WARTIME NICKEL
CONTAINS NO NICKEL

Washington - Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr..
announced that the new wartime
nickel will contain silver, copper
and manganese-but no nickel.
The coin will be minted beginning
next week at Philadelphia.
The alloy, IS per cent silver, Sc
per cent copper and 9 per cent
manganese, is new to the coinage
world. It was adopted after ex-
tensive tests and was pronounced
adaptable to all types of vending
machines, pay telephones, parking
meters and subway turnstiles.
The new alloy will save all of
the nickel formerly used in the
scent piece and Is per cent of
the copper. The design will be
that of the present Jefferson MIC
KEEL and the general appearance
will be similar to it but, Morgen-
than said, it will tarnish more
readily.
