On DECEMBER twenty
" third or some where about
that date, the CIO along with
the AFL pledged itself to co
operate with the program in
America to do everything fea-
sible for National Defense,
and TO discontinue the Tn
American activities that have
proven an impediment to sup
plying this country with the
required facilities most Ger
tainly necessary at war time,
Whether sincerity existed at
that time in the statements
of the representatives Of
those two major organlza
tons or not. no evidence has
been offered to sGbstantiate
the affirmative as yet. But,
the continuation Of past tae-
tics experienced thru those or
CARNATIONS forces one to be
lieve that voice is only
thought in disguise, for the id
critical methods used prior to
Mr.. R6oscyelt's declaration of
war IN national defense as
well as private industries are
being experienced today.
Granting the Clio and ALL

strikes are evidenced in Ma
tional Defense plantsP Whe-
Their II is TO the credit of these
organizations or not, one
thing stands out, and that is,
tbs major strike producing
factor, has been moved ..
the closed shop issue. In spite
of Mr.. Roosevelt's statement
to the American people IN
speaking for the government,
that the government would
never be a party to a closed
shop, the closed shop was
granted and is evidenced IN
America, by the same people
who listened to the President
when he stated emphatIcally
that the Government would
never grant it, Evidently the
President of the United
States had reference to the
peoples government 90, the
government that is governed
by the people and for the PEG
