Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
General Council of the British Trades
Union Congress has accepted pro-
posal of the American Federation of
Labor executive council for direct and
indirect collaboration between the A..
F. of L., and the British and Soviet
labor movements.
Announcing that complete un-
derstanding" had been reached on COL
laboration, President William Green
of the A. F. of L. made public for the
first time the text of the A. F. of L.
proposal made to Sir Walter Citrine,
general secretary of the British Trades
Union Congress when he met with the
A. F. of l.. executive council at Wash
ington last May %.
Citrine proposed formation of an
alliance of the labor movements of
Britain, the United States and the
Soviet Union which would call for an
exchange of visits by trade union dele
gates from the three nations.
Counter Proposal Submitted
The A. F. of L. submitted a counter.
proposal for creation of an Anglo
American Trade Union Committee te
meet alternately in the United States
and England. This committee, it was
suggested, could, through the British
members, "act as a liaison with the
trade unions of the Union of Sovie1
Socialist Republics on any matter o.
direct concern to the trade union:
which may arise"
i Thus, direct relations with thu
Soviet unions were avoided. The A. F
of L. has frequently denounced tn,
Russian unions as creatures of thu
Soviet dictatorship, though it has pait
high tribute to the Russian worker,
for their courage and spirit in the fac,
of Hitler's attack.
CIO May Be Included
The A. F. of L. proposal carried th'
proviso that the federation may in
clude "in the representation of Amer
lean labor the representation of an,
other bona fide trade union body,
which was understood to cover tn
possible inclusion of the CIO and tn
Independent railroad brotherhoods.
After outlining organization of tn
Anglo-American Trade Union Com
mittee, the proposal said:
i 'Tt is our firm judgment tina
through the medium of the Anglo
Soviet Trade Union Committee tn
British members of that committe
will keep themselves fully informe
Of matters concerning the trade union
Of Soviet Russia. Thus we will b
able to further our determination t
render all practical aid to the Russian
workers in the prosecution of tn
war"
Workers Courage Praised

than 100000 soldiers, sailors, ma
rines, coast guard men and hospital
patients"
Asked about the activities of the
A. F. of L. entertainment unions, he
said:
81 can't speak too highly of the
great cooperation which we have re-
ceived from these unions and their
members. 1t is an inspiring thing to
find men and women ready and eager
to devote their time and art to render
ing this important service to our men
in uniform"
How Unions Helped
Naming the specific unions, because,
he said, "they deserve honorable men,
tion for what they are doing" Phillips
continued:
"Mr. Hatfield, for instance, is a
member of the American Guild of Mu-
sical Artists, which has supplied us
with many top-notch singers. The
American Federation of Radio Artists
has given us the cream of radio enter
tainers.
"Actors Equity has come through
with stars of the dramatic stage. The
Screen Actors Guild has marched q
steady procession of movie stars into
our camp shows. The American Fed
Grafton of Musicians has permitted us
to use big name bands. This union
estimates that it's bands and orches-
tras have given five million dollars
worth of free time for the entertain
ment of Americas armed forces"

dustries for similar work, causing
high labor turnover and migration.
Usurpation of Power Charged
"His position on collective bargain
ing was clearly stated in these words:
While under ordinary circumstances
collective bargaining should determine
distribution between labor and man
agement of their joint products, these
are not normal times
Through just such arbitrary usur-
patton of power by government agen-
cies, on the excuse of national emer-
gency, people in foreign countries
have been deprived of their freedom. "
The federation says the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists was
quick to sense the danger and their
protest ended the conference. Union
executives know" it concludes, shat
if collective bargaining is to be nulli-
fed in this country-as indeed it will
be if labor has no say about wage
policy and if government orders are
to replace democratic conferences be-
tween employers and workers-then
we are threatened with fascism al
home while we give our sons to save
democracy abroad"
Further commenting on the OPA
policy, the federation says that "em.
ployers used Mr.. Henderson's attitude
as an excuse to stop all wage in.
creases, even when they were well able
to pay without raising prices"

.Monteith Picks
As Best Fight
Southpaw Ray Was
Tops in Detroit.
No Good Elsewhere
BY CLAYTON HELPER

Scotty Monteith. the silver
haired son OF the moors who made
possible Olympia's heyday in box
ing, brought TO his job a back
ground OF vast experience.
Long a fight manager in New
York. he brought Johnny Dundee
along to the worlds featherweight
championship and kept him there
until he retired. Following that,
Scotty was installed at Madison
Square Garden as matchmaker,
and with Paul Berlenbach as his
drawing card. was just as great
a success there as he was In
Detroit.
1t was Monteith who matched
Ray Miller and Tommy Grogan in
that now famous battle Jan. IL,
1929, at Olympia. And it's his
choice. as we'll as the choice OF
many a fan, as the most Sensa-
tional fight ever held in Detroit.
"Grogan had Miller on the
deck Is times In the hrst three
rounds, and nobody knows to
this day how he got up" Mon
teith recalls.
WAS THAT RIGHT:
And he raises an argument
There, for everyone who saw that
fight has a different version as 10
the number of times Miller was
down. But all are agreed that he
was on his back longer than he
was on his feet.
"He went down again In the
fourth, too, and then knocked
Grogan out with a left hook.
He was n converted southpaw
and had plenty Of power In that
hand" says Scotty.
Just 10 prove II was no fuke

Roller
Derby ON
Tonight
By MARGARET RUSSELL

Roller Derby squads represent
ing Detroit and Chicago are await
ing the starters gun that will open
their Tonight series at Olympia
tonight at 8 o'clock. Racing will be
held nightly, except on Red Wing
playoff nights, with each evenings
competition constituting a sepa-
rate game.
This sport borrows a bit from
hockey, football and other sports.
It's fast. thrilling and exciting.
The object of the whole thing is
is for a skater on one team to
pass a member Of the opposing
team after having Tapped the
track. That's where the fun and
banging around starts.
Once the two skaters from OPP
posing teams start TO race, the
liam" is on. Then the remaining
eight skaters 60 around the track
less slowly and attempt to keep
the leading skater from passing
an opposing skater. When this is
accomplished a point is scored and
a new session starts. Penalties OF
two minutes duration are for kick
ing. tripping or any other gentle
action like that.
OPEN HOUSE PERIOD
Al the end of each session there
is an open house where any
thing goes. The leading skater at
the end of this period of skating
wins a point.
Both teams will rely on veteran
Detroit's including such
stars as Yves Aronson. Paul Gorski,
Carl Payne, Mary Youpelle. Marge
Richards and Virginia Balzer. Chi
cago boasts Russell Baker, Tommy
Dominic Parinella, Jack
Walker, Oneida Reynolds. Annis
Jensen and Monta Jean Kemp.
Each squad includes a starting
ten-five boys and as many girls
and several alternates. Coaches are
c. J. Mullins for Detroit and Pat
Alsman, Chicago.
At stake will be the National
Roller Derby League championship
for the 1941-42 season if Chicago
wins. or a tie for the circuit lead
ership If Detroit triumphS.
