F. D. r. Asks AFL and CIO Leaders to Consult With Him
on All Matters Affecting Labor in War-Wliam
Green, George Meany, Daniel Tobin Named.

Washington, d. C.-President Roose-
velt created the first "War Labor Cab
met" in Americas history to give or
ganized labor a full voice in shaping
war labor policies and to assure ut
most participation by both the A. F..
of l.. and CIO in the nations war
effort.
Under the new setup, three repre-
sentatives of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and three from the CIO
will sit down with the President
around the table" periodically at the
White House to work out unified pro-
grams that will make labor's part in
the national effort "most effective"
President Green promptly accepted
the Presidents proposal. The CIO ap-
proval came day later. Those named
to the new consultative body, desig-
mated by the President the Combined
Labor War Board" follow:
For the American Federation of La
President William Green, Secre-
tary-Treasurer George Meany and
Vice-President Daniel j. Tobin.
For the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations-Pre Philip Murray,
R. J. Thomas, and julius Emspack.
Contrary to newspaper reports, the
Combined Labor War Board will have
nothing to do with establishing peace
between the A. F. of L. and CIO, nor
will the President be called upon to sit
in judgment on disputes between
unions of the two organizations. No
such thought was expressed by the
President when he conferred with Mr..
Green and Mr.. Meany at the White
House about his plan, nor was any such
idea mentioned by the President in his
letter to Mr.. Green formally launch
ing the proposal.
However, it is expected that the
leaders of the two labor federations
will be able to work out unified labor
policy and program in their consulta-
tions with the President, thus strength
ening the influence of labor and as
suring it's full cooperation with the
government in the conduct of the war.
Mr.. Green hailed the Presidents
proposal as establishing for the first
time in this country official consulta-
tion between labor and the head of the
government.
For more than two years, Mr.. Green
recalled, labor has been demanding
this very thing and has pointed to the
splendid results in Great Britain from
the Churchill governments policy of
consulting in advance with labor on
all matters concerning labor's partici-
patton in the war.
The new setup outlined by President
Roosevelt should prove even superior

of labor standards that need be made
in the interest of achieving victory
should be made on an administrative
basis, with the advice of labor"
The governors statement was ampli-
fed by Director Murphy and was ap-
plauded by President R. G. Soderstrom
of the Illinois Federation of Labor,
President Ray Edmundson of the Illi-
nois CIO Council, and Richard Abrams,
representative Of the railroad brother
hoods.
In discussion of war production
problems with Governor Green and
Director Murphy, the labor leaders
also considered the establishment of
labor mediation board for the state to
insure continuous operation of all Illi-
nois industry Final action in this
proposal, however, was deferred until
the labor representatives could discuss
it's details with their members and
executive boards.
LabOr'S Advice Sought
Opening the conference, Governor
Green declared that the present war
in many respects is labor's war and
that he wanted the advice and assist
ance of labor in working out the de-
tails of Illinois participation in vic
tory efforts.
"The things the nation is fighting
for today are the things that labor
has fought for during many years in
the past" the governor pointed out.
"This is war between two competing
systems of economics, one in which
man is free and the other in which
man is slave. We must win this
war to keep our own high standards
of living and our superior working
conditions"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-02-06

to the successful British procedure,
Mr.. Green predicted
Among the major problems which
President Roosevelt is expected to
take up Immediately with his new
group of labor advisers are:
Measures to relieve unemploy-
ment resulting from conversion of in
dustrial plants to wartime production
2-The widest possible extension of
the twenty-four-hour day and seven
day week in all vital war industries
3-Broadening of labor supply, in
Guiding ALLEGATION of available skilled
workers where they are most urgently
needed and the training of millions of
new workers for the victory produc-
tion program.
4-Wage and hour policies, as well
as general government policies-such
as price control, taxes, rationing, etc.
which directly affect American
workers.
No date has yet been set for the
first meeting of the new "labor cabi-
net," but it's members are expected to
be called into the White House within
a week
Because of the anticipation that the
A. F. of L. and CIO will necessarily
attempt to work out a unified policy
to present to the President, it was
Immediately assumed that the new
board will effect a truce between the
two organizations for the duration of
the war If this is achieved, it will be
an incidental by-product-no the ma
jor direction-of the boards oper-
ations.
Rejection by the CIO of immediate
resumption of negotiations to unity
the A. F. of L. and CIO makes actual
peace between the two organizations
impossible for the time being.
Mr.. Green emphasized that the
peace committee of the A. F. of L.
stands ready to meet with the CIO
for the purpose of bringing about or
ganizational unity whenever such an
opportunity is afforded.

Birds Serve Nation, Too

Newark, N. J.-Decrying a tendency
to consider protection of birdlife as
trivial in times of war, Beecher S.
Bowdish, treasurer of the
New Jersey Audubon Society, said here
that government experts had esti-
mated that insect and rodent damages
to farms and forests exceeded billion
dollars a year in the United States.
Wild birds should be protected because
they are one of the most effective
checks on such pests, he declared.

declared, and for good measure built
a sewage disposal plant, five-million-
gallon reservoir and 20-mile road.
"These are some of the stories be-
hind our rising curve of war produc-
tion," Biemiller told the conference.
"They explain how it is that, since
June, 1910, labor has increased the
output of airplanes by 800 per cent,
shipping by 200 per cent, Garand
rifles and sub-machine guns by about
1900 per cent, and all tanks by 1900
per cent"
Help of All Required
Pointing out that the expanded pro-
gram of war production would require
the services of every worker, he said:
"We must give every loyal Ameri-
can an opportunity to work at war
production, without regard to race,
creed, color or national origin. This
right of each worker, whether an alien
or foreign-born citizen, to do his or
her share in war industry has been
clearly expressed by the President.
When reports came in that employees
had been discharged simply because
they were born abroad or have for
eign-sounding' names, the President
vigorously condemned the practice"

Springfield, H. (ILNS). - A pro-
gram to preserve state labor stand
ards while speeding war production
was endorsed by leaders of more than
100000 Illinois organized workers in
conference here with Governor Dwight
H. Green and State Director of Labor
Francis B. Murphy.
Forty representatives of American
Federation of Labor, Congress of In

rector Murphy in determining what
be made in connection with war needs.
This board will be appointed when la

Governor Green declared that his ad-

spokesmen that he had refused to in
clude an item permitting modification
of present labor laws in his call for
