FAULTY REPORTING" SCORED

Commenting on the drive to curb
labor unions and destroy work stand
ards, the American Federation of La
Dor monthly survey says:
This campaign was presented to
the public under the false banner of
increasing war production 1t has not
yet succeeded. Labor is determined
that such a drive shall never succeed
in this country That it has any
chance of success results from public
ignorance of the true facts, situa-
tion which the faulty reporting job
done by the national press can be held
responsible"

WATCH LOCAL GOVERNMENT

As taxpayers you should keep your
eye on local government. Cooperate
with your officials in their problems
and insist that they shape their af-
fairs to the end that we shall have the
least possible number of debt-fnanced
public improvements during the pc
riod of the war, so that your county,
or your borough, or your township,
or your school board may be in strong
position to provide useful work at
fair wages to those thousands of your
fellow citizens who will be needing
work when the war shall be won.
Efficient and forward looking local
governments can expedite National
Defense through their services and
sound financial policies. These can be
made to help control the forces which
are pushing prices toward infationary
heights. They can prepare now to pre-
vent widespread depression in the
postwar period
The morale of our men in camp will
be materially strengthened if they can
truthfully be told that we who are
back home are doing our best to pro-
vide means of employment for them
when their service is at an end.-Wil-
liam S. Livengood, Jr., Pennsylvania
State Secretary Of Internal Affairs.

Three States Arrange Scrap
Collections Of License Tags

Chicago (ILNS).- When Wisconsin
and Michigan motorists purchase new
license plates this year they will be
asked to discard their 1941 plates in
bins set up by the state agencies reg
istering motor vehicles, the American
Public Works Association reports The
Ohio registrar of motor vehicles has
arranged for return of old plates by
arrangement with the oil companies.
In Wisconsin the old license plates,
which can be thrown into special re-
ceptacles in service stations, garages
and license bureaus, will be collected
by Boy Scouts. The scouts will sell
the metal and receive the proceeds.

to help win the war and it probably
won't get much better at it.
But if the story could be told there
isn't much doubt about labor running
far ahead Of employers in the matter
of giving all-out effort to win the war
Where have you heard of employers
chipping in out of wages to buy a
bomber for Uncle Sam?
There's lot to the old saying about
giving a dog bad name. He then
has nothing else to live up to. But
give him good name and see what
he has to live up to!
Labor deserves a good name-a
mighty good name. And then see what
it will have to live up to!
1t will do it, too, just as it has been
doing.
Give labor whale Of good name!
1t will help win the war. c. M. w

LABOR FOR VICTORY"

Labor's new radio program, to be
presented on Saturday nights over the
National Broadcasting Company's Red
Network, 1915 to 1920 E. w. T., with
the American Federation of Labor and
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions alternating in the presentation,
should be of vast educational value
and Of great benefit to all organized
workers.
The program, Labor for Victory, y
proposes to tell the nation how the
man in overalls is helping America
win the war. Both A. F. of L. and
CIO will work hand in hand ito spread
the true story about labor's participa-
tion in the nations war effort" to
quote William Green.
Beginning on Saturday, April Is,
the program will be most timely, in
view of the widespread campaign of
slander and abuse against labor now
being conducted by its enemies. When
the program is finished, America will
undoubtedly have better idea of la
boris aims and accomplishments.

"But unanimous vote of Parlia-

toration of every privilege and every
right which labor has relinquished for
the sake of the war effort has been
guaranteed to the trade unions, which
today have larger membership than
in any previous period of history
well over 100000. The greatest
single labor measure passed in Britain
in this war is the Essential Work
Order. 1t guarantees a minimum
weekly wage to all workers in indus
tries essential to the war effort. The
order does not affect the ordinary bar
gaining machinery which exists be-
tween management and workers; it
does not freeze either wages or
hours; what it prevents is free dis
missal of workers by employers, and
conversely, stoppages of work by the
workers"

THE -
CHER TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes fippantly, some ,
times recklessly. -.

@<~~<<<<%f<N%N N<<~<%~<S%~~S<W
Mr.. Thurman Arnold bobs into the
news again. This time he pounces
upon Standard Oil, which has been
pounced upon by many man since
Kennesaw Mountains Lands handed
down his famous $29,00o,000 fine.
The story now is that Standard en-
tered into an agreement of patent
pooling with the German outfit known
as |. G. Farbenindustrie Can there
have been any doubt about that?
Mr.. Arnold may not have known it,
but somewhere about ten years ago
stock statesmen were pestering Wash
ingtonians and probably residents
elsewhere, to buy |. G. Farben stock
and part of their sales talk was that
Farben and Standard had entered into
pooling agreement which gave both
companies great things.
This happened before Hitler, during
the days of the Republic in Germany.
And probably a good deal of the
stock in the German company was
sold to Americans who lost most Of
their holdings, or the value thereof,
after Hitler made it impossible to ship
dividend money out Of Germany.
So, we had to wait until the emer-
gency of war to find out that this
patent partnership, for it was no less,
had become a violation of our laws
A Farber cracking process, or an
Improvement on the process, was sup
posed to have been part of the advan-
tage gained by Standard. There were
many highly important processes COW
cred in the pooling arrangement and
the German outfit was represented to
trading.
So good was the going that Farben
was paying a dividend of 1917, until
Hitler closed the German borders to
the export of money for dividends and
other purposes.
And when that happened the bot
tom dropped out of the value of Far
ben stock in the United States-ker-
plunk!
But it has taken long time for
Mr.. Arnold to find out that such things
had happened.
Perhaps he had been too busy going
after labor unions Who knows?
And, speaking of labor unions, it
begins to look quite definitely as if
the campaign to get Congress to wipe
out progress is doomed to fail That
is all to the good.
1t doesn't seem possible that
many can believe the great cam
paign against labor was an honest
and sincere growth. 1t had too
many of the aspects of planted
and carefully guided propaganda
move-a part of the divide and
conquer game.
bers of Congress were ready to fall
for it.
Because there are plenty of them
who would take crack at labor at
any hour of the day or night, they
hate it so, even if the country suffered
by the act.
Labor has made good many con-
cessions SO far and it probably will
make more. The best way to force
labor to get it's back up and refuse
to make concessions to win the war is
to start to take away its proper rights.
Then labor will fight, because there is
nothing else it can or dare do.
Labor hasn't been too good at tell
! ing it's own story or what it has given

ECENT steps taken by the Aus
IN tralian Government in co-opera-
ton with organized labor point to the
substantial progress that is being
made to safeguard the interests of the
seamen "down under" as well as to
insure full and effective use of the
Australian merchant marine in the
war.
The establishment of the Maritime
Industrial Commission together with
the introduction of the 44-hour week
are indicative of the present trend in
Australia which has always had a
reputation for being the most labor
minded member of the British Com
monwealth of Nations. The Maritime
Commission is composed of eight
members, four for the shipowning in
terests and four for maritime labor.
The commission has been granted
extraordinary powers to regulate all
matters pertaining to shipping, wages,
working conditions, shipping space re-
quirements, etc. The war risk bonus
for Australian seafarers was recently
determined by the commission as 20
per cent of the prevailing union wage
rates on all coast trading vessels and
25 per cent on all long trade routes
vessels This is in addition to a special
10 per cent bonus which is being paid
in all cases.
Australian maritime labor circles,
when interviewed by correspondent
of the International Transport Work
ers' Federation, were highly enthus-
iastic and described the recent meas
ures as outstanding achievements in
the history of the Commonwealth.
"The introduction of the 44-hour
week" spokesman said, "as well as
the establishment of the commission
are important advances in the mari
time industry The functions of the
commission are extraordinarily wide
and literally amount to a full con-
