On the
Business
front
By WARD SCHULTZ
Detroit Times Financial Editos

CAPT. OLIVER LYTTELTON.
British war production chief, al
though he mentioned no names,
paid a fine compliment to couple
Iof Detroit firms during his visit
here with Donald Nelson, War
production Board chief.
He said that American-built
tanks had chalked up impressive
records in the African campaign
and that the airecooled radial
motors had proved particularly
adaptable TO desert warfare.
The tanks mentioned included
Chrysler-built medium tanks.
The air-cooled radial motors
which powered them, and other
American-built tanks, were built
by Continental Motors here in
Detroit.
This brought to mind that when
Walter Reuther complained that
several types of tank engines were
being used by the United States
Army, rather than concentrating
production on a single model, no
one brought up this point.
An engine that might prove
ideal in combat conditions in
China might be unsuited for use
in the African desert or in SUBJ
zero temperatures OF Russia in
winter.
Lyttelton at least makes clear
that the British like those Con-
tinentals for the desert.
THE NEWSPAPER boys who
lowered the press conference called
by James Zeder, chairman of the
tire committee of automotive and
rubber industries, are still in a
slight fog.
The meeting was called with a
Iwhoop and hurrah and they were
all set for an announcement of
great importance.
Zeder started TO address those
assembled. explaining the back
ground of his committee and its
purpose. Just about this time, he
was interrupted by an important
telephone call.
He returned a minute or two
later, obviously bit flustered.
Instead of giving out any item
of Importance, he finished rather
Ilamely by saying that the COM
Imittee had tested many chemical
materials and had narrowed the
field TO "a few"
That was the end of the press
conference.
Now the boys are consumed
with curiosity over the announce
ment that was apparently halted
10y the phone call. Was IL new
land sensationally successful rub
her substitute? Who plastered
the censorship on the thing?
, Insiders say that the best thing
. the committees found TO date is
still BOWS Thiokol, which was
prematurely announced out Of
Midland about a week ago.

NEW RUBBER PLANTS

Stressing the need for preserv-
ing rubber-borne transportation,
Eastman said that the most opti-
mistic predictions are that I'VE
may have plants by the end OF
1913 which can produce synthetic
rubber at the rate of possibly
100000 tons a month"
Eastman warned that because of
the great increase in railroad traf-
fic. especially in troop movements,

Eastman Hits
Any Attempt
To Seize Rails
Says They're Doing
Good Job Already;
Trucks Big Problem

CLEVELAND. June 10 tOPl-
Joseph B. Eastman. director of the
Office Of Defense Transportation
praising the role Of the railroads
in Transporting war materials, saic
today that he saw nothing 10 be
gained" in the government taking
over the roads
"On the contrary" he said, IL
would fear a period OF serious
disIocation and let-down before
the new machine could work up
10 full efficiency"
Speaking before Chamber of
Commerce transport rally, East
man warned that some dangers
lie ahead" and that ahead lies the
formidable prospect that the rail-
roads. because Of the rubber short
age, VIII have 20 carry a contlnu-
ally increasing share Of the great
freight traffic which the trucks
are now carrying.
MEET ALL DEMANDS
The transportation director said
that while the War Production
Board has found il necessary TO
limit the building Of new cars and
locomotives very drastically," he
was depending on the "resiliency
and reserve strength" of the rail-
roads 10 meet all demands.
Eastman discounted statements
that large accumulations of over
seas freight" are blocking the ma
tons ports, asserting that they
are not blocked but are in liquid
condition"
considerable overseas freight
Is In storage at the ports" he
said, but II is not being stored
20 any important extent In cars
and IL Is not interfering with the
movement of freight"
LEASED FOR STORAGE
He said that a plan is being
administered whereby factory and
other buildings can be leased for
storage use and turned over 10
community groups of warehouse
men for operation under terms
which we fix" He said he be-
lieved the plan would provide as
many as 25.000.000 square feet OF
storage space which the army
otherwise would have TO construct.
1.-THE railroads today are car
rying nearly 100000 barrels OF
oil day 10 the eastern sea-
board" Eastman said. "com-
pared with less than 100000
barrels daily last December"
Improvement of the freight
problem can be met, he said, b,
more efficient loading of carload
freight in boxcars, decreasing
cross hauls of commodities, by
moving coal and other commodi
ties which can be carried in stock
in the spring and summer months,
and by cutting down the time
which cars spend in terminals and
at intermediate yards. p"

who challenged the constitutionality
Of the federal wage-hour law and lost

AL 62nd Annual Convention In Toronto, OPENS Oct

That s'thOse who attend the
Convention will be influenced
by one thOught-a singleness

that Hitler and his allies must
be defeated at any COST" was
stressed this week by the Ex-
ecutive Council of the Ameri-

vention, the first AFL war con-
vention since 1913. Cali ac-

the winning of the war;
The convention will open
Monday, October S, at 10
AM, in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada. Headquarters for the
executive council will be To-
Gated i'm the Royal York Hotel.
A 'sWAR CONVENTION"
The convention call leaves no
doubt i'm the minds of prospective
delegates that the coming session
will be total war convention. The
text of the call reads i'm part: ''The
decisions which will be made by
the Convention will be in the light
of world war events. The change
from peace time to a war time
economy must be taken into ac-
count in the consideration of all
social, economic, political and in
dustrial questions which will be
submitted to the Convention for
action.
Zone thing is sure and certain;
the officers and delegates will be
united in a common purpOse-tc
win the war and save freedom"
Delegates are cautioned to pur-
chase round trip tickets well in
advance because of restrictions on
war time travel. 1t is therefore
urgent that all international unions,
federal unions, and state and city
bodies who are entitled to one dele
gate each, according to call, should
designate their delegates as soon as
possible.

Miners Murdered
For Profits Sake

WASHINGTON. = Two reports
issued this week by the Bureau of
Mines threw further light on the way
coal diggers are being murdered to
make profits for mine owners.
A gas explosion which killed six
men at Excelsior, Ark, was declared
to have been caused by spark from
a mining machine whose use is not
permitted by safety regulations of the
Federal Government.
Thirty men were killed in a mine
explosion at Mt. Harris, Colo, which
resulted from defective electrical
equipment. The mine, the report
said, is also equipped with outlawed

NEW YORK.-NegrO employ

The three most effective forces in
fuencing this improvement, Baldwin
asserted, we're the Presidents order

tivities of private organizations.
STILL SERIOUS FACTOR
Racial discrimination, the league
found, nevertheless remains serious
factor which is reflected in the ex-
cessive ratio of Negroes on relief tc
their total population.
Other findings were that restric-
tons which some unions have
against Negroes were relaxed
Negroes were getting their best
break in aircraft production; the
navy has doubled the number of
Negroes in navy yards; training fa-
cilities are lacking in the south
where most of the Negroes are.
