Nelson Ends Bids
For War Contracts
Green Pledges Full Support
In IndustrY-Ldbor Com
mittee Plan

Washington, D. C.-Competitive bid
practice in the placing of military sup
ply contracts by order of War Pro-
duction Chief Donald NJ. Nelson.
Immediate delivery and increaS aSed
production of wartime goods are more
important factors right now than hag-
Cling over cost, Nelson emphasized.
The new plan carries out recOmmen-
dationS made to the Government Il
month ago by the American Fedora
tion of Labor's Monthly Survey of
Business.
The survey urged that war contracts
he let by negotiation or ALLEGATION. 1t
pointed ont that competitive bidding
is now impractical and wastefnl. Many
factories submit bids for the same
contract, the survey explained, and
their work plans are held up until
they learn the awards. Efficient mo-
biliZatiOn of available industrial capac-
ity is thus thwarted by competitive
bidding.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor hailed
Nelson's action. He said:
"Ry this order you have ended a
bOttleneck that made for delays i'm war
production and brought unemployment
to hundreds of thousands of workers.
Unless we make full use of small
plants for simpler production as we'll
| IN hn l,r thn nnni,II-
Gated work, we shall not be able TO get
adequate supplies whenever our troops
may need Them
Mr.. Green also gave the full en-
lOrsement of the American Federation
of Labor to Nelson's suggestion for the
creation of joint management~labor
committees in each plant working ON
war contracts.
This" Mr.. Green said, "is in line
with our long-establshed practice of
llniOn-management cooperation. Local
committees under the leadership of
their union representatives will give
you whole-hearted cooperation that can
be achieved in no other way.
"YOu suggestion obviously grows out
of practical understanding of the eN-
perience of those who control the ma
chimes and handle materials in carry
ing out work orders.
II offer you the cooperation OF the
five millions of wage earners in the
American Federation of Labor who are
eager to do their utmost to give the
armed troops the munitions and the
tools of war"
Mr.. Green conferred with Admins
traitor Nelson and pledged him the full
aid and assistance of organized labor

production.

Nuzi Rule Is Resisted
BY Luxembourg Labor

New York, n. Y.-Continued stub
born resistance of the people of the
tiny Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to
the NaZi dictatorship is revealed in
underground information reaching New
York. without weapons and deprived
of all means of defense, the LuXem-
bOurgerS resort to passive resistance to
fight the German occupation.
Only few traitors support the Nazi
masters. Arrests, prison terms and de-
portation are frequent and strike all
classes of the population.
Opposition to the tOtalitarian over
lords is especially strong among the
workers. Refusal to work means Sc,
we're reprisals against them and their
families, frequently eliminating i'm de
portation. Therefore secret resistance
by various methods of slowing up pro
duction is effectively applied.
The workers derive great hope from
the words of their former trade union
leader, Pierre Krier, Minister of Labor
since 1897 and now living abroad, who
frequently speaks to all Luxembourg
ers by radio. 1t was krier who urged
the SO-SlOw movement in industry as
the most effective method of uudermn,

Why Won't For Daddy?
BY LUCIA MALLORY

Tommy had been really less trouble
some than usual, but that did not af-
feet his mothers customary threat of
punishment.
I'm going to tell your daddy when
he comes home," she declared. "He
must punish you"
Tommy had heard words like these
many times. Often they were drummed
into his ears when Mother came home
from a bridge party or the picture
show. At first the child trembed at
the threat. but when he came to learn
that Mother didn't seem to mean what
she said, it didn't bother him Il
particle Occasionally she would tell
his daddy, who Travelled and some
times was away from home three
weeks at time But when that hap
pened his prank or disObedience was
so old and stale that Daddy didn't see
any use in furnishing him.
"'The only way to impress child
when he does wrong" the father had
reiterated many times, "iS to punish
him as soon after it occurs as possible.
\ boy Tommy's age fOrgets wrong
doings very quickly. SO when he is
naughty why wait until / come home
to try to straighten him out? Why
don't you punish him then and there?'
Tommy's mother would agree that
Daddy was right, but as soon as he
was gone it was the same old story
threats to tell Daddy, declarations that
as soon as Daddy came home just pun
ishments would be inflicted, and, most
of the time, failure to say anything to
Daddy about it.
Tommy was not us fOrgetful as his
father seemed to think. He remem-
bered most of the little naughty things
he had done. But most of all he re-
membered that Mother didn't do any
thing about them except say that she
would tell Daddy and that Daddy sell
dom did anything about them.
Correcting the faults of children
during their early days very often
saves severe punishment at the hands
of strangers later on. Parents make
mistakes when they allow undesirable
conduct to go unnoliced and when they
promise punishment and then fail to
execute it.
Tommy's mother did not have to
whip her son III order to correct his
behavior There are many better ways
to punish. She could deprive him of a
picture show, or Some other definite
pleasure, or contne him to his room
during the afternoon playtime. What
ever Il parent says or dOes-wiSe or
unwise-it will affect his child'S char
acter. So such tactics as Tommy S
mother used are most regrettable.
Failing to tell the father after she
had declared she would do SO, would
naturally cause Tommy to lose conf
dencc i'm his mother. Waiting several
weeks to make the report would have II
tendency to force the child to take the
entire matter too lightly. Common
sense would teach Il person that q pun
ishment would not be half as impress
siye at later date as it would while
| the child's act was fresh i'm his mind.
Besides, the father, being constantly
referred to as Il source of punishment,
lost much in honor, affection and trust.
Some day, perhaps, Tommy would
need his parents help-would need to
90 to them for constructive advice. But
would he go?
