 The first two ran into heavy anti-aircraft opposition but made short work of the gun crews.
 Missed Chance
 Lieut.. Robert L. Mcdonald. of Reno, who already has one Jap plane to his credit, was in the last ship. Said he:
 There wasn't anything left to hit with my guns. There was no more fire coming up. But if I had had bomb, I could have been sure Of getting myself a ship. A chance like that may never come again." . f'a 2s- w y-se

Labor Unity Stressed At Big Rally;
Hard Work, Not Laws, Will Win
War, Says Green in Radio Message

Surveys made in this country and
Europe on the productivity of human
beings, the President told the report
ers, had proven that the average man,
woman or child turns out more goods
at the rate of 48 hours a week than
at so. He referred to studies made in
World War One, but did not amplify
them.
Shorter Day Found Better
These were conducted under the di-
rection of Gen. William Crozier, chief
of ordnance, who reported in Novem-
Der, 1917, that:
''It might be expected that an in
dividual working 10 hours day in
stead of 8, or IL hours day instead
of 10, would turn out more goods. He
can and doubtless will for the first few
days. But experience shows US that
within a few weeks or a few months,
the output will be the same or even
less than it was during the shorter
day."
President Roosevelt recalled that
Henry Ford once said that work in
excess of 44-48 hours week-he was
not sure of the exact number-did
not increase the total output of a
human being.
Bonus Payments Opposed
1t was then that he expressed his
firm opposition to bonus payments for
workers who turn out more material
than their colleagues in a given pc
riod. Likewise, he was against the
piecework system in peacetime and
more so in wartime because the work
ers of the nation are turning out all
the material they possibly can.

SENATOR ]. M. MEAD
CALLS UPON CRITICS
TO JOIN In HARNESS

New York City (ILNS). - Urging
an end to "faultfinding with the Amer
lean worker and farmer" Senator
James M. Mead of New York called
on all groups to "join in harness" with
the government to win the war. He
spoke at victory rally of the Fed
eral Business Association of New
York
Senator Mead accused manufacture
ers' associations and other groups
throughout the country of launching
propaganda drives and of flooding
Congress with threatening letters de-
manding that the government repeal
social, labor and industrial legislation
and ''do just what they wanted it to
do ten years ago"
Instead of launching one propa-
ganda drive after another and flood
ing the Capitol with letters and tele-
grams asking that which the respon-
sible leaders of the government have
declared would only destroy the sys-
TEN which has been SO finely set up,
let these groups join in harness with
the rest of America and do the job
they can do toward winning the war;"
Mead urged.
"The government is not interested
in organized propaganda. You can
trust the Executive Department of
the government and leave their re-
sponsibilities to them, with the real
ization that they will be we'll done"

abolish the union shop and abolish the
right to strike.
There is not single word of truth
in any of these statements. Who is
in the best position to know the
truth? Our Commander-in- Chief, our
President, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
What does he say? What do War
Production Director Nelson and the
heads of our Army and Navy say?
Agreement Is Unanimous
"They agree unanimously that the
40-hour week no longer exists in war
industries, that employees in war in
dustries are working from 48 to go
hours a week, that to abolish the 40
hour week standard would not add a
single hour of labor to war produc-
tion but would only mean pay cut for
Americas hard-pressed workers.
"They agree unanimously that over
time pay is necessary to meet higher
living costs and to provide an incen-
tive to greater production.
They agree unanimously that
labor's voluntary surrender of the
right to strike for the duration of the
war is far more effective than any
compulsory law could be!
american workers are 100 per
cent loyal to our Commanderin-
Chief We are confident that the
American people as whole are
willing to rely on his judgment in
such vital matters. We firmly be-
lieve that anyone who fights the
Presidents policies in these crit
ical times is doing disservice
to America.
"The workers of our country are
performing production miracles every
day. Their record is unmatched any
where in the world. Give them the
tools and the materials and they will
produce everything America needs for
victory"

G.M.C. Employees Attention
Drawn to Lewis Family ''Take"
Excerpt from "WashngtOn Merry Go -ROund' Showing
Annual ''Take" of Lewis Relatives, Gives View to
Amount of Money Taken from CIO Golfers.

Son-in-law of Floyd Bell, an

District so organizer............. $500
Total Lewis family payroll. 500
I'm addition to their big salaries,
Lewis, his daughter and brother also
have fat expense accounts. What they
spend is their secret. No figures have
ever been revealed, even to union
members.)
And Still More
Imposing as is this payroll list, it
still does not tell the whole story.
There is one Lewis relative who is
not on a union payroll but who garners
high-bracket income from unions
controlled by John l.. He is brother
in-law Floyd Bell, an insurance agent.
Representative of surety company,
Bell has what amounts to a monopoly
on the business of bonding all national,
district and local U. M. W. officials
and all CIO officials.
His commissions are estimated at
$4,000 a year.
This sum, plus the payroll listed
above, would bring the total "take"
of the Lewis family up to $110,500 a
year.

A. F. of L. President CIO President Philip Murray and
Federal Security Administrator McNutt Are Principal
Speakers-Workers Perform Production Miracles.

Pittsburgh GLNS).-American la
boris unity in the war effort was strik-
ingly emphasized here at big labor
rally at Syria Mosque under joint
A. F. of L.-CIO direction, with A. F.
of l.. President William Green, CIO
President Philip Murray and Federal
Security Administrator Paul V. Nc
Mutt as principal speakers.
How American workers are helping
to win the war was the theme of the
meeting. The addresses were broad
cast from coast to coast by the Mutual
Broadcasting System.
The meeting marked the first time
since the split in organized labor that
the president of the A. F. of l.. and
CIO have appeared on the same pub
lie platform together.
New Laws Not Needed
President Green declared that re-
strictive labor legislation can't win
the war, that only hard work can
bring victory and denounced the claim
that abolition of the 40-hour week and
other labor standards is necessary for
American triumph.
81 am happy to tell you tonight" "
Green said in ending his talk, that
labor is showing the nation how to
bury past quarrels and how to unite
in all-out war effort. Ever since the
war broke out the A. F. of L. and the
CIO have worked together as patri-
otic Americans and have conferred to-
gether at regular intervals with Pres
ident Roosevelt to formulate joint pol
icies for winning the war;"
Green Presents Murray
Then, Gin token of this spirit of
unity and cooperation which is nee
essary for victory" Green introduced
Philip Murray as his "friend, colab-
orator and fellow-American."
President Green said in his speech:
"Mere words and fag-waving won't
win this war-hard fighting will
Sniping at each other, name-calling,
blaming the other fellow-that sort
of activity won't win the war ma
tional unity will! New laws? Why,
not a single one of the fantastic labor
proposals now before Congress or all
of them put together can win this
war! But hard work will!
Labor on Job
"This work has to be done and is
being done by the millions of men and
women of labor throughout the nation.
They are on the job, night and day
They are giving the job all their skill
and all their strength. They will stay
on the job until this war is won
This is labor's solemn pledge to
America.
"We hear great deal of talk these
days from certain members of Con-
gress, from certain business interests
and from certain high-pressure propa-
gandists to the effect that in order to
win the war America must abolish the
40-hour week, abolish overtime pay,

PRESIDENT OPPOSED
TO EXCESSIVE HOURS
In WAR PRODUCTION

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) ).-Strong
opposition to excessive working hours
in war plants was expressed by Pres
ident Roosevelt during press confer
ence discussion, in which he asked the
American people to examine and get
into their heads the fact that the av-
erage worker produces more in 48-
hour week than in 60-hour week.
The President declared that he is
against all cash bonuses and the piece
work system. No such Incentives are
needed, he declared, because the over
whelming majority of Americans want
to turn out as much material as pos
sible to help bring victory.

By nj. ]. MCMAHON
Grand Lodge Representative,
International Assn of Machinists

The American Federation of Labor
has been assailed in season and out of
season by enemies both from within
and from without the labor movement.
Among some of the most prominent is
the "high priest" of the CIO, John L.
Lewis. Westbrook Pegler, the we'll
known columnist, who formerly worked
as reporter and was glad to receive
fifty dollars per week, is now said to
be receiving fifty thousand dollars per
year for assailing the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
No labor leader in America has any
objection to Mr.. Pegler condemning
any labor leader who has been false
to his trust. But Pegler does not stop
at this, but persists in a general char
acter assassination of practically all
labor leaders, and endeavors to smear
the American Federation of Labor at
every opportunity.
Another offender is HI. V. Kalten-
born, the radio commentator, whose
take" is said to be around seventy
five thousand dollars per year. Kalten-
born, it appears, is sailing under a
false name, as, according to the book
"Who's Who" his right name is CLANS
Won Kaltenborn.' Why did he change
it?
The Washington Merry Go Round
recently gave considerable informa-
tion relative to John L. Lewis, and we
take the liberty of reprinting the
merry -Go-Round" story for the bene-
fit of the men employed by the Gen
eral Machinery Corporation, as well
as for the laboring people of Butler
County in general.

Golden Yesterdays
By Margaret Deland. Harper

Mrs. Deland, In the early years
of the century, used to write i'm
mensely serious problem novels. She
was the kind of novelist who Is re
spected." She was dignifed, and she
was devoted to the highest ideals
and the sternest moralities. She
was q good craftsman, too, and her
books hung together and contained
situations Of real dramatic power.
It Is somewhat astonishing, there
fore, to discover, reading this, her
autobiography, that Mrs. Deland
never thought Of herself as primarily
q writer at all. She was, she tells
US, before anything else, q wife. and
q dear little foolish, adoring, cling
ing-vine wife at that. From her
books, one would expect her to have
been the Literary Lady OF the period,
awesome and unapproachable. But
from her own statement, she was
about as near to David Copperfeld's
Dora as q human being could be.
The revelation Is inevitably some
thing Of . shock.
Indeed, Mrs. Deland, writing the
history of her life, tells Of her au-
thorship only incidentally. The
story Of her marriage takes up al
most the whole Of her work. She
describes the poverty Of its early
years and the gay struggles that
she made toward housekeeping. She
relation how she shocked her hus-
bands grave New England relatives
with her carefree madcap ways, and
Is very merry about her determined
efforts to budget, and 50 on. But as
for her writing-that was something
quite accidental. Rhymes popped
into her head, and she scrawled
them down on brown wrapping
paper. She never consciously
planned her literary work; she just
bubbled along, and lo-after a while,
there was masterpiece, and no one
was more astonished than the little
woman herself. Or 50 it seems to
her, looking back today, anyway.
There is q good deal Of uncon-
scious irony in the work. and one
can say, without fiattery, that it
throws much lignt on literary his
tory In America during the period
Of Mrs. Deland's ascendancy.
