Workers Rush To

(Confinued From Page One)
Islands. Without exception, each man
volunteered to go to Hawaii which is
exposed to enemy bombings.
Within two days, more than three
thousand registered for shipyard jobs
in the Pacific war zone at the State
Employment Office in New York City.
Similar reports came from San Fran
cisco and other ports along both
coasts.
The fact that loved ones would have
to be left behind was no deterrent.
Neither was the fact that some were
earning more than they could hope to
make at the Hawaiian base. Each
one wanted to do his bit at the front.
The men who pass all the tests will
have their Pullman fare paid to Cali
fornia, along with daily allowance
for meals, and their wages will start
as soon as they board ship. The Gov
ernment guarantees employment for
six months.
A constructive suggestion was made
to the Government by Secretary
Treasurer Joseph S. McDonagh, of the
AFL Metal Trades Department. He
urged that skilled mechanics who have
been retired but are still in good
physical condition and able to perform
their days work be recalled to active
service.
Writing in the Departments month
ly bulletin, Mr.. McDonagh declared:
"We say to our skilled mechanics
throughout the country during this
war emergency, There is no need for
anyone to be idle. In fact, we believe
that you as American citizens owe it
TO your Government, and also owe 1t
to the American labor movement with
which you are affiliated, to present
yourselves through your local unions,
50 that plants and industries which
are calling for skilled personnel will
know Of the availability Of mechanics.
Following this thought, we believe
that it is the duty Of all government
agencies and also private industries
which have highly skilled men who
have been retired due to legislation
and to the advances made in our So
cial standards, to recall for duty all
skilled mechanics who are physically
able to perform the work of their
crafts, irrespective of age

AFL Workers Take
Lead In Chicago
Organizing Defense System
To Protect Lives And
Property

Chicago, ILL., - Remember Pearl
Harbor! Expect the unexpected and
be prepared for any emergency"
With those words, 10000 AFL
workers began the task of organizing
the defense system that will protect
the lives and property of Chicagoans
in Americas war crisis.
These key figures in Chicago's de-
fense were the men and women sworn
in by Mayor Edward J. Kelly, civilian
defense coordinator, in thrilling cere-
monies in the Chicago Stadium.
They were the janitors, the jani-
tresses, the elevator operators, the
school engineers, the apartment build
! ing workers, members of the Build
ling Service Employees International
Union, called together by their presi-
dent, William l.. McFetridge, for a
huge civilian defense rally.
Before they were certified as assist
ant organizers for civilian defense by
Mayor Kelly, the building workers
heard dramatic speech by the city's
chief executive in which he declared:
"America is at war. We're all sol
diers now!
"There are no more Italians, no
more Germans, no more Lithuanians
no more Rumanians, no more any
thing except Americans. We are all
united for one cause and that unity
will be the foundation of a greater
democracy after this war is over"
Following the mayors speech the
audience arose and repeated after hin
the pledge Of allegiance for civilian
defense workers. Afterward they were
given certificates designating thei,
roles in the civilian defense program
McFetridge, in brief address, tolc
his union:
at is highly essential that we, who
have in our hands the lives, protection
and comfort of the people in Chicago's
homes and buildings, do everything We
can to guard the nation in every re
spect.
owe must be alert for possible sabo
tage, we must supply the needs of oul
workers, soldiers and sailors, and we
must protect their wives and children
and we must do all we can to aid the
Government in conserving metals
papers and all other materials needed
for national defense"
Victor A. Olander, secretary-treas
urcr Of the Illinois Federation o1
Labor, declared:
"ln this great emergency, unless
prevented by the withdrawal of thel1
rights and liberties, the workers o1
America, east, west, north and south
will prove beyond all doubt that il
strength and courage and loyalty II
the places of production behind th'
lines, they are as steadfast as those
who risk their lives in the from
ranks"
Daniel ID. CARMEL, counsel for tn,
Chicago and State Federations o
Labor, said the meeting was the frs
of its kind to be held anywhere in th'
nation.

Defense Official Denies
Practice Evacuations Due

Aroused by rumors circulating IN
Montgomery County that civilian
defense ofnciab are planning prac-
tice evacuations, Executive Director
Albert e. Brault yesterday denied
any such action.
For several days oficials have re-
ceived reports that q group Of
women has been going from house
to house warning residents Of q
practice evacuation" Although
most Of the complaints have come
from the Bethesda Chevy Chase
section, Mr.. Brault said, a rumor
Is current that 800 families were
to be evacuated from Silver Spring
to Bethesda in q practice evacua-
ton"
Declaring the Once Of Civilian
Defense in Montgomery County is
investigating the source Of the ru-
mors, Mr.. Brault said, I'VE have not
even considered any such thing
and do not believe it is proper to
disturb the residents unnecessarily.
When this ONCE orders an evacua-
ton Of residents from their home
1t will be because imminent danger
requires such a move. We are not
going to practice in such . vital
thing"

S. &c. Bars Repeal
OF Trading Curb
On Insiders
Purcell Says Present
Rules Essential to
Protect Investors
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Claiming that insiders, because
Of their nduciary relationship, should
not trade in-and-out in the securi-
ties Of their companies for their
personal gain" the Securities and
Exchange Commission vigorously
opposed today a proposal Of the
securities industry for repeal Of ex-
isting restrictions against such ac-
ton.
Ganson Purcell, chairman of the
s. e. c., told the House Interstate
Commerce Committee that repeal
Of the restrictions would strip in
vestors OF one Of their most essential
projections.
The securities industry, which has
suggested numerous changes in the
1884 Securities Exchange Act, con-
tended the so-called insiders
trading profits" section operates TO
deter insiders from making pur-
chases to retard q falling market" !"
The 1884 act provides that profits
realized by officers, directors, or
10 per cent stockholders from any
purchase or sale of any equity Sc
curity within period Of six months
belong to the corporation and are
recoverable.
The purpose of that requirement,
Purcell told the committee, Is to
guard against the use Of inside
information, since such informa-
ton is not the personal property of
the insiders themselves and since
any profits resulting from its use
belong to the insiders no more than
does the inside information itself. /"
Russell Cunningham. president Of
the Cleveland Stock Exchange, op-
posed q proposal of the New York
Curb and Stock Exchanges that
proxy regulations be made applic-
able to all companies without secur-
tiles registered on an exchange
which have more than $4,000, 900 in
assets or more than 300 stock
holders. He suggested instead that
any broadening Of the regulations
not be made applicable to registered
corporations with gross assets of
IS .000, 900 or less II its securities are
listed on a national securities ex-
change and the majority of its
stock Is locally owned.

sional committee agreement on q

Of grain prices to ITO per cent par
ity generated enough buying to lift

low parity and thus could advance
substantially before ceilings would

After the initial upturn, however
the market reacted under pressure
of profit taking and hedging sales
losing part of the gains. Soybeans,
which touched 81 a bushel in the
session, fell below the previous close.

Excise Tax Recjeipts
Falling Far Below
u. ). Estimates
Collections Forecast
Difficulties in Quest
For 81, 900 OK, 900
b the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Disappointing collections on the
new Federal excises enacted q few
months ago foreshadowed dtfncul-
ties for Congress and the Treasury
today in their search for ~ .000, 900, =
600 more taxes asked by President
Roosevelt.
Oficials said that the new excuses
are bringing in far less revenue than
expected.
Unless the showing improves, Con-
gress will have to raise its sights IN
drawing this years tax bill, to make
up the amount that collections fell
short Of the estimated revenue.
Taxes which went into effect last
October include those on local
telephone bills, jewelry, furs, toilet
preparations, musical instruments
and electrical appliances.
Two Of the new taxes have held
up to expectations. The licenses for
bowling alleys and pool tables, ex-
pected to yield Sl,3O0,000, already
have turned in $1,000 ,316 in three
months. The licenses on slot MAJ
chimes and pinball machines have
yielded $4.708 sos and were slated to
bring in only $4,600, 900. These two
taxes differ from the others since
they are collected only once q year,
while the others are to be collected
each month on the basis Of sales.
On IA other taxes, collections in
October, November and December
amounted to $27 ,150, 900, against an
estimate Of $272, 400 900 In a full year
Part of this discrepancy was ex-
planned as due to the fact that these
taxes are paid a month late and
since October was the first month,
the collections represent really Q
two-month rather than a three
month record. In few cases,
shortages Of materials, such as rub
ber, held back production and sales.
In other cases. seasonal factors de-
tracted from the showing. Another
official explanation was that people
stocked up on things In September
to beat the tax.
On the other hand, the collections
represented a Christmas period
when buying was heavy.
