Nelson. Approximately 500 labor and management representa- tives have been invited. One of the labor consultants will be Alexander Smalley, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
 F. ID. R.'s OBJECTIVES
 Objectives of the drive were set by President Roosevelt when he wrote to Mir. Nelson: ''I therefore direct you to take every possible step to raise production and to bring home to labor and manage ment alike the supreme importance of war production this crucial spring."
 Nelson has notified the produc- ton drive committee that the Presidents qquota of guns, planes, tanks, and ships must be exceeded.

be accomplished by really effective
price control over the necessities OF
life, and by widespread democratic
rationing to insure to all our popula
ton their fair share of available
goods. And labor will insist that the
wages and conditions of our working
people are such as to assure their
maximum health, efficiency and NOR
ale for their basic tasks of war pro.
duction.
American labor realizes too that all
our enemies are not on foreign fight
ing fronts. We have within our own
country appeasers, defeatists, divi-
sionists and disruptionists, whose
effort labor is determined to thwart.
In the coming elections we shall work
to defeat all such. elements and to
elect only real win-the-war candidates
to public office.
On this Labor Day, American labor
extends it's pledge of solidarity and
utmost war effort to the peoples of
all the United Nations, fighting with
our own people in the common cause
of freedom. We pledge to work, to
fight, to give, without stint and with
out limit, until victory is assured.

We are going to win this war and
when the fighting is over we are go
ing to make our victory over the

We are determined that when the
terms of peace are written the four
freedoms enunciated by President
Roosevelt shall be established for all
time throughout the world And in
addition to these freedoms-freedom
of speech and religion, freedom from
want and fear-labor will insist upon
a fifth essential element to this glori-
GUS code. That is the freedom of
workers in every land to join free
and democratic trade unions of their
own choice. This is labor's own peace
plank and no force on earth can stop
us from making it reality.

CANADIAN WORKERS
DEMAND WAGNER ACT

WINNIPEG, Can - (FP) = Enact
ment of a Canadian Wagner act was
demanded August q by the 5Sth an
nual convention of the Trades & La
Dor Congress of Canada.
The resolution, submitted by the
Bro of Railway Carmen, urged the
congress to "do all in it's power to
introduce legislation to guarantee full
collective bargaining rights to all
workers similar to the Wagner act in
the U. S."
Delegate R. c. McCutchan, who
favored a still stronger resolution,
said: 1--WE in Canada haven't even
started to organize because OF
lack of legislation. We should tell
the dominion government to either
give us this legislation, which is in
effect in the U. S., Australia and New
Zealand, or We'll sabotage your
war effort"

PROFITS NOT
WAGES BOOM
HIGH PRICES

NEW YORK-FP)-Pr that the
current inflationary threat comes
from unprecedented profits and not
wages is contained in figures released
August 80 by the Natl. Industrial Con
ference Board, an employer research
organization.
These figures show labor's produc-
tivity has increased much more rapid
ly than it's wages and prices have
been forced up by industry's insist
ence on hogging the savings from in
creased productivity.
''In a survey just completed" the
board said, I'VE find that capital in
vested in the U. S. was so less in
1941 thar in 1929 while the manu-
featuring output in 1921 was 1870
greater than in 1929 and averaged
$50 more than in 1929 during the
first six months of 1912.
Similarly the amount of net in
come produced in manufacturing per
person employed averaged S2,12O in
1871 as against $3.50 in 1929"
Despite an increase in direct fed
eral taxes on manufacturing corpora
lions from $544,OOO,OOO in 1929 to ST.
236, 100000 in 1910, the board reports
that rate of net earnings for 1910
amounted to 1892, the highest level
ever attained. The previous peak for
the 1905 was $500, while in 1929
the rate was 6.49@6. (The board, of
course, makes no mention of the
greatly increased federal and state
taxes which drastically reduce the
workers net earnings.)
The tentative estimate of net prof
its for 1871, the board reports, further
raises the rate of return to $3.50, as
earnings were increased more rapidly
than investment, despite the unprece-
denied expansion of the latter item
last year. The net return from manu-
features in 1941 is tentatively placed
at slightly above $4,500,0O0,0O0 This
an increase of 28% over
the reported earnings for 1910.

CO-OPS SAVE MILLION
FOR CONSUMERS

SUPERIOR, Wis. - (FP) - Chief
Auditor Laurie L. Lehtin of Central
Cooperative Wholesale reported that
co-ops saved consumers in northern
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
81 100000 in 1941.
He reported the total volume of
goods handled by lis Of COWS mem
Der co-operatives reached $17,300,000
in 1871, increasing 22% over the pre-
vious year. And the years net earn
ings of these co-ops (the amount that
co-operators saved for themselves by
being in business for themselves)
totaled $798,000 When COWS 1941
net earnings of $144,00O are added, it
makes net saving for co-operators
of $4,000.

Naturally the dollar-a-year men in
control of WPB aren't a bit anxious
for any such unified production pro
gram.
WPB announced recently that there
was little or no black market i'll steel.
However the man who investigated
the black market for WPB told a
house committee that he had made
no such report and that in fact there
is a black market.
More on steel: Iron Age reports
this week that the industry operated
$3.50 of capacity during July. In
other words, the nation lost at least
100000 tons of sorely needed steel.
That was the main contention in the
WPB labor production committee con-
ference which caused Donald Nelson,
WPB boss, to glover at labor men.
Now WIPES iron and steel branch
chief has resigned. But the rest of
the dollar-a-year men remain.

"the high cost of living" The con
gressmen voiced the anger of the peo
pie, anger expressed by labor leaders
and farm leaders and by the middle
class
The Federal Reserve Board started
the machinery of deflation. Banks
began calling on their borrowers to
pay. The wringers moved and the
squeeze was on. In 1922, when the
poor and helpless were wrung dry
banks and industrialists began to try
to pump more of the wind and water
of credit into the economic system,
to develop another era of credit in
flation. Installment sales doomed.
But regardless of talk about "two
cars in every garage" and prosper
ity," only the spectators thought
they were prosperous. The bread
lines grew. Unemployment continued
to be a plague. The diseased society
had to undergo surgery in 1929 and
1880 and despite all that the Roose-
welt administration could do, the pa
tient did not recover.
War in 1899 and 1910 and 1871 has
started another boom" period. Just
around the corner is another Dust"
period-UNLESS-
Wage earners now pitch into the
job of saving their families and them
selves and their country from the
worst Dust" that has threatened in
all of our history.
The only way the job can be done
is through consumer cooperation
through wage earners owning their
own business, comparatively. Every
bit of money that can be saved by
wage earners during the boom" peri
cd must be saved, modified and or
ganized, comparatively, to build con-
sumner cooperative strongholds for
protection against the Dust" period.
There is no other way, no other
possibility of salvation for the work
ers. If anyone believes there is an
other way, let him reveal the paths,
now, now, now 80.

Native Land" is the first film ever

Labor's struggle for freedom and
unity and is partly based on reports
and information gathered by the U. S.

ON THE
CAPITALS CUFF
By HARVEY O'CONNOR

Whatever happens in the effort to
attain "organic unity" in the ALL
CLIO parleys a month from now, it is
undeniable that the two arms of labor
have already achieved a functional
unity.
In recent weeks, the ALL and CLIO
have presented a common front on
the basic questions confronting Amer
ica's workers. In the effort to stimu-
late war production and eliminate
Washington bottlenecks, the labor adj
visory committee of the war produc-
ton board acted as a unit. And at
the White House both organizations
have acted in concert on the stabiliza-
ton of wages and prices. While
some divergence has appeared in the
denouncing the sales tax propaganda
and in demanding that taxes be
placed on those best able to pay.
Labor nailed its war program to
the mast in a JOINT resolution by the
ALL and CLIO at the labor production
conference this week. Labor's war
aims are:
"The working people of America,
through their chosen and duly con-
stituted representative in the AFL
and the CLIO, demand that six months
from now:
81. Finished and completely out
fitted ships slide down the shipways
to carry ornaments and supplies to
our fighting troops.
"2. Tanks be completely and fully
equipped, ready to take their place in
our battle columns.
"3. Steel, copper, aluminium and
other metal industries be not per-
mitted to fall pound below capacity
output because of lack of scrap and
raw material supply.
a. Americas soldiers and t h
troops of Americas gallant allies re-
ceive even greater quantities of war
weapons by air and sea transport be-
fore the snow begins to fly
While the business press roars its
demand for "wage-freezing," not even
tiny, piping voice can be heard in
their voluminous columns for profit
freezing. The fact is that 1912 will
be the biggest profit year in the his
tory of American corporations. Leon
Henderson estimates the take at $780,
900, 100000, a 1000 increase since
1889, which itself was a rosy profit
year. The increase in labor and farm
income in the same period is about
20% or less of the total reached by
the corporations.
The President has announced that
he is not in favor of "wage-freezing.
the war much longer than we, have
not frozen wages. Canada has
cost-of-living bonus, and basic pay
raises where essential industries are
in danger of losing their labor supply.
The department of justice held up
for a week its announcement of in
dictment of General Cable for gouging
the government on war sales. Pre- |
it was waiting for a clear
ing up of the labor situation at Gen
eral Cables Bayonne plant, which the
Navy took over.
Perhaps many citizens read with
August % that the war
board has taken over COM
plete control of steel, from the ore /
mines to the finished product. They
thought it had happened months ago.
Fact is that eight months after Pearl
Iarbor, the WPB is still cropping for
general plan of industry operation. L

7 HAVE been trying to put
L down on paper, not for the
readers of this column, but for
a general medical group, an out
line of the examination of the
teeth 50 far as they have to do
with the general health Of the
body-in the first place, what
diseased conditions of the body
do diseased teeth cause and sec
ond, in what way do general
diseases of the body affect the
teeth unfavorably?
I have been very much in
terested in looking over some of
the examinations given by the
army medical boards to see what
proportionate amount of space
was devoted to the examination
of the teeth and the great care
that the army board takes in
making these records.
7 CONCLUDED after some
L study that an examination of
the teeth both by inspection and
by the x-ray might throw light
on the general health of the
body.
The general shape, spacing
and structure of the teeth indi-
cate such things as general i'm
lection (Hutchinson's teeth,
diabetes, developmental disord-
ers of the body such as might
occur in giantism or pituitary
disease. al
These, however, are rare.
Malocclusion, loose bridework
and bad plates, all suggest in
complete mastication and con-
sequent disturbances Of the
digestion and nutrition.
The army boards, I find, stress
this a good deal but in my ex-
perience, while it seems logical
to think that they ought to
cause bad health, they seldom
interfere with the digestion and
nutrition at all.
IN FACT, from observation of
L certain colleagues of mine I
almost have come to the con-
clusion that the teeth are I'M
necessary.
These men have complete
upper and lower plates which
they will remove at meal time,
using them entirely for esthetic
purposes.
They MUNICH and humble their
food with bare gums and in the
time during which they have
been doing this, none of them
has had the slightest attack of
Indigestion of any kind and they
have gained on an average OF so
pounds apiece.

of the teeth has been somewhat
0verdone.
Interrupted teeth, crowde d
teeth and removal of teeth which
interfere with the functions of
the body have repeatedly been
described as the cause OF head
aches, face aches and neuralgia.
I have the greatest amount OF
skepticism that crowded teeth
or interrupted teeth ever cause
these symptoms.
T BELIEVE so because in the
L first place, people who have
headaches of this kind almost
always have a neurotic back
ground, and in the second place,
great many people have the
same condition without having
any tooth trouble.
In the third place, when the
tooth trouble is corrected the
symptoms do not disappear in
most cases.
The public has been oversold
on this idea.
However, there Is one condi-
ton described by DR.. James Cos
ten of st. Louis in which, owing
to a removal of too many lower
teeth. especially back teeth, the
jaw joint slips out of place and
closes up the Eustachian tube
to the ear, causing partial deaf
ness, attacks of vertigo, neural
gia and roaring of the ears.
This is a syndrome which Is
not sufficiently well known
either to dentists or to ear men,
and is a perfectly definite and
clear-cut symptom complex
which responds to treatment by
the proper fitting of plates, in
an almost magical manner.
