Good Evening,

CBy Ella wheeler Wilcox in Best Loved Poems
 of the American PeopleD The days grow shorter, the nights grow lcnger The headstones thicken along the way; And life grows sadder, but love grows stronger For those who walk with us day by day. The tear comes quicker, the laugh comes slower; The courage Is lesser to do and dare; And the tide of joy in the heart falls lower, And seldom covers the reefs of care But all true things in the world seem truer, And the better things of earth seems best, And friends are dearer as friends are fewer, And love Is all as our sun dips west Then let us clasp hands as we walk together, And let us speak softly in low sweet tone, For no one knows on the morrow, whether

Draw Up New


An enthusiastic meeting Of
Brown & Brockmeyer workers at

duction and maintenance of an

1000 organization as the goal.
All former Union members and
non-union members now working
at the Fields are urged to join the
Federal Workers and secure the
benefits of a strong, militant
Union.
Civil Service is no guarantee Of
job security, as $500 workers in
New York City are finding out.
These $500 workers are out Of
work because of budget cuts.
These are the employees who
were told they didn't need a
Union because they were under
Civil Service, but the fact remains,
a civil service job, without the
security of a strong Union, i q
steady as the ups and downs OF
the budget. The answer Is that the
Civil Service doesn't fight for
budgets, but the CLIO does 90 to
the legislature to protect its menu
bers. The CLIO gets appropriations
fair minimum wages, overtime
compensation and decent working
conditions. !

conservative figure.
Of necessity thousands Of these
workers will be women. Women
will be leaving non-defense in
dustries, homes and schools to
work in Dayton's defense indus
tries. What will be the effect of
this influx of women into organ
lied shops? Is it going to mean
a lowering of rates and standards?
That is something hat the men
who are leaving the shops to
fight for their country and the
women who are going on the
production lines for their country,
should consider very seriously.
If the national UE policy of
equal pay for equal work" is
followed, the men who are leav-
ing the shops to fight to defend
our homes and standards, will
not return to find that while they
were fighting, their rates, security
and standards have been destroy
ed.
The responsibility of preserving
the American way of life is in the
hands of the Union men and
women in the shops. No patriotic
American woman would willingly
betray the men who are fighting
for America. But the woman who
is willing to work on a mans
job for a lower rate of pay, IS
DOING JUST THAT
Dayton women who are already
working in defense industries, and
Dayton women who will eventu-
ally be working on war work,
should be informed of the general
policy of the Federal Government
on equal pay for equal work"
It has been defined in a state
ment made public on January II,
1912. That policy is - Wage rates
for women should be the same as
for men, including the entrance
rate"
Every Union member, every
negotiating committee, should be
constantly on the alert to see that
this policy is followed in every
shop. DON'T LET THE
SOLDIERS DOWN!

AMERICAN LABOR SPEAKS
FOR a SECOND FRONT

The American people are fast realizing the need
for offensive action against Hitler. They do not need
to be military s%trategists to see that Hitler can be
crushed this year 1912 - if he can be smashed
not only on the Eastern Front by the Russians but
also in the West by the British and Americans.
The UE, writes under the title of Fight For A
Western Front" 1--WE who make the guns can't avoid
the responsibility for helping to decide where and
how the guns are used. The need for an offensive is so
obvious that we can no longer remain quiet. The
United States and Britain must smash Hitler from
the West, while the Red Army smashes him from the
East"
The Minnesota State CLIO Council has adopted
a resolution which states, owe must plunge our full
force at the heart of the fascist monster. That heart
is Berlin. Destroy that heart and its outer parts, its
puppet counterparts in Toxic and Rome will cease to
live. That will mean a second front opened in Europe

The New Jersey clio special production con-
ference cabled General Marshall in London, Convey
to American armed forces in Great Britain that
duction offensive to meet any military offensive on
the Western front and any other military offensive
necessary to defeat the Axis powers"
A New York Post editorial says, "The spring
offensive is here. Ii we don't smash it in 1912 we
don't know whether there will be a 1913. So we
urge the creation of a second front in Europe"
The paper of the CO National Maritime Union,
800 Of whose members have died by merchant ship
sinkings says, "Open up another front Immediately
and smash Hitler and his Nazi goons on their own
home ground"
So it goes thru the country. We must have the
second front Sam Rayburn Of the House Of Represent
atives says we are producing $500 planes per month.
British Labor Minister Bevin says that Britain is now
producing as many planes as Germany and that within
five or six weeks the United States will be turning
out as many planes as Germany, Italy and Japan.
General Marshall, head of u. S. armed forces,
said in London, 1--WE want to expand in Europe"
Secretary of War Henry Stimson said the Army is

could be extended to washing ma
chimes. typewriters and other goods
whose manufacture has ceased be-
cause OF industry's conversion to
war production or because of ma
terial conservation orders.
Details were lacking. since Mr.
Nugent was out of the city tenn
porarily. but associates said they
believed the plan would require leg
islation. Although there is thought
to be sufficient authority under war
powers legislation to carry the plan
up to the end of the war, legal sane
ton would be required to project it
into the peacetime era.
Regular dealers and distributors
would sell the certificates to con-
sumers, getting q commission on the
sale. Installments would be COL
lected by regular finance concerns
but the certificates would not call
for any specific make or model. "a
Priority On Deliveries.
After the war, when manufac-
turers again retool for production
Of civilian goods, the consumer
would choose the make or type that
he desires to purchase, and would
get priority on delivery according
to the date shown on his purchase
certificate. The plan is understood
to include q Government guarantee
OF priority standing.
Presumably the certificate would
be for a sum somewhat less than
the anticipated price of the desired
article, and arrangements would be
made for paying the difference when
production is resumed.
Proponents of the plan point out
several advantages to the Govern
ment, the consumer and the manu-
facturer.
They argue it would take up sew
eral billion dollars annually, aiding
the anti-infation drive; it would
permit dealers to preserve at least
skeleton sales forces: it would give
industry a back log of orders with
which to start work when war or
ders are cut of: and would assure
certificate holders of early delivery
at time when there will be a great
upsurge Of demand for the con-
sumner goods which have been lack
ing during the war.
Soon to Be Made Public.
The proposal, it is reported. has
been outlined in q document OF
more than 100 pages, which is ex-
pected to be made public soon BY
Mr.. Nugent
A similar plan. without worked
out details. was proposed recently
by Henry Kaiser, West Coast ship
builder

Sage Foundation before becoming
attached to Mr.. Hendersons ONCE.
