DANISH WORKERS
OPPOSED TO RULE
OF NEW ORDER"

New York City (ILNS).-The liv-
ing standard of the Danish workers
has declined about % per cent since
the German occupation of Denmark,
according to reports of the Danish
Federation of Trade Unions. Many
Danish workers have accepted work in
Germany for longer or shorter pc
riods, but most of them have returned
disillusioned and critical of the Euro
pean "New Order" The number of
Danish workers at present employed
in Germany is estimated at 10000.
Notwithstanding the preferential
treatment which the Germans are met
ing out to the populace of Denmark,
the organized workers are steadfastly
opposed to German rule and Hitler's
"New Order" Membership in the
trade union movement increased dur
ing the past year from $4,000 to
$4,000, which is partly due to the en-
ergetic resistance of the Danish trade
unions to Nazi demands and pressure.
Short strikes described as protest
moves against insufficient air raid pro-
lection, occurred in various shipyards
and other industrial plants. In one
leading shipyard in Copenhagen the
workers started boycott against the
Nazi manager of the shipyard can
teen. The management was finally
compelled to dismiss the manager in
order to placate the workers.
The Danish Nazi paper "Faedrelan-
det," in commenting upon the case, re-
marks similar incidents occur daily"

Employment Of Women At
Night Opposed, Report Says

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Wkile
asserting that three shifts are neces-
sary for all-out war production, Miss
Mary Anderson, head of the Women's s
Bureau, u. S. Department of Labor,
recommended in a report that women
workers be employed on night shifts
only as an emergency measure to pre-
vent overtime on day shifts.
The report, on might Work for
Women and Shift Rotation in War
Plants" also recommended that shifts
not be rotated more often than every
two or three months on the grounds
that frequent changes upset eating
and sleeping habits and home obliga-
tions.

Hamper Hitler in Every Way
Possible, Union Leader Urges
Transport Workers in Europe
]. III. Oldenroek Makes Stirring Appeal to the German
Occupied Countries in Transport Routes,
Former Boundaries, Are Now Chains of Tyranny"

tional regulations which are essential,
even under the Nazis, for the working
of railways, inland navigation, ship
ping, and road and air transport, are
worth a bit Of study. Workers should
familiarize themselves with them.
They should interpret them liter
ally. :.
Transport Hitler Weapon
"Today transport is being used, not
for human progress, but for human de-
struction. That is not what we, the
transport workers, want. 1t has been
forced upon us. But we know that
without the modern means of trans
port modern warfare would be impos-
sible. Armies could not be mobilized
or supplied: war industries could not
have their essential materials. s.
"Are you who are transport work
ers sufficiently aware that you are in
dispensable? The seamen of the
United Nations certainly are. They
know that they are essential to the
forces of liberation. They brave all
risks to transport the goods and man
power which are needed to achieve VIC
tory. They are risking and losing
their lives in the service of the peoples
of Europe. Are you who are under
the Nazi heel sufficiently alive to what
you owe them?
Land Transport Vulnerable
"The sea lines are the life lines of
the United Nations, vulnerable lines,
it is true, but-listen, comrades less
vulnerable than the intricate network
of railways, roads, rivers, canals and
airways with their shunting yards,
signal boxes, power stations, loco
motive sheds, bridges, locks and air.

Hitler depends"

only the inevitable loss of time which
their service will entail"
In considering the rehabilitation of
war industry the board emphasized
that the total war effort would loom
much larger in the national economy
than it did in 1918.
"The men and machines who are
making tanks and jeeps and bombs" !"
the report continued, "are going to be
almost as out of job as the soldiers
and sailors when victory comes. They
will present many of the same prob
lens, and their sudden dismissal, in
it's effect on the labor market and on
the volume of consumer-purchasin
power, would aggravate the dangers
to our national economy.
Industries May Be
Nations Charge
Indeed, it is agreeable that it would
be less wasteful to continue some war
production beyond absolute military
necessity rather than to halt it all
precipitately at the same time.
at is possible that some whole in
dustries created to meet the nations
need will approximately be the ma
tion's charge as they retool and con-
vert for peacetime pursuits. There
will be war-boom towns for which an
orderly procedure of progress to peace
time status should be mapped"

London (ILNS).-In broadcast to
the German occupied countries of Eu-
rope, j. H. Oldenroek, assistant gen.
eral secretary of the International
Federation of Transport Workers,
made stirring appeal to transport
workers to do everything in their
power to stop the Nazi war machine
and aid the forces of liberation. He
said in part:
"You know that the liberation of
Europe depends on transport. Hitler
knows it too No matter where you are
in Europe you have seen the way in
which your local railway, your local
canal, your railway engines, your
freight cars and your barges are being
commandeered by Hitler to supply his
fighting machine. All routes now un-
der his control lead to the front-even
if it is the railway track OR the canal
that runs at the bottom of your garden
it leads to the front. At the moment
it leads to Russia. Presently it will
lead westward to the front against
your other allies.
Study Safety Rules"
what Hitler has done to your rail
roads, your canal or your road trans
port, he has done in every part of
Europe he has occupied. The trans
port routes that once bound countries
and continents together are now the
chains of tyranny. :.
81 know that you who are transport
workers realize that when the time
comes you will be among the soldiers
of liberation and that your weapons
will be the vehicles you handle.
Before the war safety regulations
and convention, supplemented by
service rules, were in force in every
country. These national and interna-

Jobs and Security Chief 0bjectives
OF After-War Program, Says Fifth
Report Of National Planning Board
Shifting from War Expenditure to Peace Economy With
out Upsetting National Recovery is Job Requiring
Cooperative Effort of Industry, Government.
WNU Service)

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - Pro-
posals for maintaining employment as
the war ends are suggested by the
National Resources Planning Board,
in the fifth report on series issued
by the board on postwar problems.
Full employment, security and build
ing America should be the central OBJ
jectives of any program, the board
said
"How to shift from the war expen-
diture to peace economy without up
setting the national recovery is a job
that will require the joint cooperative
efforts of industry and government, of
labor and of agriculture" the report
said. Government alone can no more
win the peace than it can win the war
alone.
We Must Prevent
Downward Spiral
''In all the planning for demobiliza-
ton, military and industrial, we must
not for a moment lose sight of the
fundamental Importance Of preventing
the downward spiral of unemployment,
decreased consumer buying power,
drops in production levels and in op-
portunities for investment"
The report covered rehabilitation
of men in the military services, pro-
posing that consideration be given to
dismissal payment for soldiers and
sailors, with gradual rehabilitation.
The board suggested its proposals
as ''wise national safeguard" superior
to the 1850 and ticket home" given
soldiers at the close of the first World
War.
Vocational Education
Program Suggested
Demobilization of the armed forces
"must be as carefully planned as their
recruitment" the board declared. 1t
added:
"The defense and war programs
have involved tremendous efforts to
develop new skills and trained per-
sonnel for great variety of industrial
activities.
"The same procedure, including pro-
| grams of vocational education and re-
education, both in vocational schools
and in industry, might be adapted, and
| retained, for the purpose of preparing
men to assume jobs in industry after
they are released from the Army OF
Navy.
Training Might Help
Glut of Labor
"To withhold certain number of
service men from the labor market for
period of training might help pre-
vent the glutting of that market, in
addition to providing them with skills
and training needed for industrial oc-
cupation.
every reasonable provision will
have to be made to insure that the
young men shall be enabled to take
up their places in civilian life with

would be union, not management, trou-
bles at the core" The board includes
three A. F. of L. and three CIO rep
resentatives.
Gov. O'Conor, who is chairman of
the board, said that in the event mem
bers of A. F. of L. unions were trans
ferred by the Manpower Commission
to plants dominated by CIO unions,
they would not be required to join the
CIO unions. The reverse will also hold
true under the agreement, he said.

"Leon Henderson has kept intact
the national price structure for the
last two months by the most desperate
expedients: he needs at least $140 mil
lion to keep up that work. What con-
Germs him is the whole fabric of our
domestic life: if he should fail, what
ever the wars course, we face the
most desperate of depressions at it's
end. The men who vote to cut his
budget will be remembered in history
as saboteurs of the American stand
ard of living. We urge you to do
everything you can to beat them
back"

LABOR BUREAU IS
FORMED BY N. Y.
RED CROSS GROUP

New York City (ILNS) The New
York Chapter of the American Red
Cross has formed Labor Bureau to
serve as clearing house for the Red
Cross activities of all labor unions in
Greater New York.
Thirty union representatives, meet
ing at the chapters headquarters un-
der the Craftsmanship of Vincent j.
Ferris, secretary treasurer of the AL
lied Printing Trades Council, COM
pleted preparations for special Red
Cross pamphlet which will serve as a
guide for organized labor here.
The pamphlet will set forth the
twelve-point program of the bureau.
Through it, labor will be drawn more
closely into such Red Cross activities
as first aid, home nursing, nutrition,
canteen, home service, foreign inquiry,
employment bureau, speakers bureau
and as blood donors, nurses aides, staff
assistants and liaison officers. Labor
union representatives would be ap-
pointed to attend special Labor
Union-Red Cross training course,
which would equip them as liaison of
ficers to interpret the Red Cross to
their fellow union members.
Gen. Robert c. Davis, executive di-
rector of the New York Chapter, well
coined the labor representatives and
delineated the activities of the chap
ter which, he said, had "gotten so
enormous that we don't know from
day to day what new things are COM
ing off,"
The same labor committee which
worked with the Red Cross in war
fund drive last winter will serve in
similar executive capacity for the
new bureau. The committee is made
up of prominent A. F. of l.. and CIO
chiefs, including William Collins, A.
F. of L. New York representative;
Thomas J. Lyons, president, New York
Federation of Labor; Joseph Curran,
president, National Maritime Union,
CIO; and Michael J. Cashal, presi-
dent, Joint Council 16, international

WHAT FREEDOM OF
PRESS IMPLIES
(From Editor and Publisher)

Genuine freedom of the press, as
we have it in this country, in Great
Britain, and in Canada, implies that
publishers will make every effort to
print the news truthfully and to in
terpret it fairly and decently.
1t does not imply that a publisher
must accept any other criterion of
truth than his own judgment. 1t does
imply that he has the right to print
even wilfully, and ac-
cept the consequences of his acts.
Without that last implication, the
whole concept of a free press becomes
hollow. If a newspaper can be COM
PEELED to publish only what is accepted
as true by majority of its readers
and contemporaries, it loses freedom
of thought and action.
1t becomes what the press has be-
come in the countries of our enemies,
screen upon which government can
project its own approved version of
events, regardless of how remote that
version may be from the truth.

WARN OF SHORTAGE
In CIVILIANS GOODS

Cleveland, Ohio. (ILNS). = Acute
shortages in many lines of civilian
goods may develop by the end of 1912,
the Cleveland Trust Company predicts
in warning that the United States
"must plan on a period of years dur
ing which our one big business will
be war, and most other businesses will
be directly or indirectly subsidiaries
of that big one"
"Many of the smaller manufactur-
ing concerns" the bank says, chat
for one reason or another have not
shifted over to war production are
faced with the prospect of closing
down. The most common reason for
this predicament is the inability to OBJ
tain the necessary priorities for pur-
chasing materials"

INSPECTORS STUDY
FIRST AID METHODS

Springfield, I'll. (ILNS).-State fac
tory inspectors will supplement their
work of safety-first accident preven-
ton by first aid knowledge to assist
all-out war production.
Director of Labor Francis B. Muir
ply has instructed Chief Factory In
spector Arthur Sullivan to have all
factory inspectors qualify for first aid
certificates by taking the standard
Red Cross courses of instruction.
Despite the most rigid inspections
and educational campaigns for pre-
vention of accidents, incidence of in
dustrial mishaps probably will show a
tendency to increase in war produc-
ton because of induction of new work
ers or transfer of other workers to
tasks with which they are unfamiliar" !"
Director Murphy said.
Immediate and effective first aid
treatment of injuries, particularly mi
nor ones, to workers, prevents devel-
opment of major disabilities, which
result in loss of productive activity of
the worker for considerable time"
The factory inspectors will take the
Red Cross first aid courses from in
structors in their respective home
communities.

Support for OPA Asked

81 do not say that all criticism of
the Price Administration is unfounded.
do say that every grasping landlord,
every speculator in war materials and
consumers goods, every producer
reaching out for undue profits at the
nations expense, is today ganging up
on the OPA.
at therefore behooves the over
whelming majority of Americans
producers, property owners, consum-
ers-who appreciate it's supreme i'm
portance in the entire war effort to
give the Price Administration their
effective support now, when it's use
fulness as an effective war agency
hangs in the balance"
