Strikes Now Could
Ruin Unions, Legion
Head Tells AfL
Declares Federation

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Oct. 9.-Roane War
ing, commander of the American
Legion, told the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention today that
the popular reaction to wartime
strikes could wreck organized labor
and that the Federation had not yet
used its full power to halt them.
From Prime Minister w. L. Mac
kenzie King the delegates also heard
warning against the Subtle
danger" that we might contribute
to a Nazi victory by needing the
propaganda that the war must end
in a compromise.
cat the best" Mr.. Mackenzie King
said, "a stalemate would mean all
armistice with both sides remaining
prepared for renewal OF the
struggle"
Mr.. Waring said that the Legion
regards the AFL as "the one great
representative of organized labor
which has the courage on one hand
to stand up for and to defend the
cause of the laboring man and Wom-
an and all that it stands for, while
upon the other hand you are true,
patriotic Americans and abide by
the Americanism for which our fore
fathers fought and died."
Condemns Some Little Groups"
He said it would be unfair to the
AFL and untrue to the Legion II
he did not ito the full of my ability
protest against the practices OF some
units of organized labor in war pro-
duction in striking in this time of
emergency.
"The challenge from an outraged
and waiting America comes to you,
the leaders of organized labor, to
stop the saboteuring of American
production by these little groups OF
misguided and badly led men.
You have acted, you have protested
you have decreed against it, but you
have not yet gone far enough.
That else when exercised by
thoroughly determined and outraged
people can mean no good to the
legitimate and properly functionine
labor movement. You face danger
of having the good as well as the
bad swept away into rising tide Of
popular disapproval."

Minimum Goals Defined.
AS a national minimum for thu
postwar period he gave these re-
quirements:
l. Useful employment for all whit
are willing to work.
2. Standards of nutrition ant
housing adequate to insure tn
health of the whole population.
3. Special insurance against pri
vation resulting from unemploy
ment, accident, death of the famil
bread winner, ill-health and old age
The war, the Prime Minister de
clared, is primarily struggle TO
freedom, and freedom he defined a

He said that next to the fear Q

was the fear of unemployment.

Little Barbados" the Zoos latest

woolless sheep that won't end his
days, as many Of his ancestors have,
on an African dinner table.
Called woolless because OF its
hairy, goat-like coat, the new ar
rival carries out the color scheme
OF its parents-light brown hair,
with solid black markings under the
bodies.
The parents, according to DR.. Will

were acquired about a month ago,
and were the first woolless sheep the
Zoo has had for more than 10
years.
The sheep, it is thought, originally
were natives of West Africa, where
they are still found in large num-

Patriotism Burns Brightly
Behind San Quentin Walls
BY DAMON RUNYON

7 OS ANGELES. Jan. 12.-Joe
~ Smith, managing editor Of
the News, neat little paper
published by the inmates of the
California State Prison at San
Quentin, favors us with copy
of the current issue containing
a first page editorial suggesting
labor battalions of prisoners for
the war.
1t is an interesting idea, pre-
scented with some logic. Before
quoting from the editorial. we
must remark that the California
prison inmates and officials
seem more cognizant of the war
than a lot of other people on
the Pacific Coast, as is evil
denced by various items in the
News.
1t seems that the inmates and
guards at San Quentin have
added an extra hour 10 their
working day and thrown in
Sunday for good m sure,
thereby putting the prison on a
seven-day week basis and that
$40 regulars and volunteers
working in the jute mill turned
out a record production of 80
tons of rag" in less than a
week. this being sacking needed
by the government.
CLINTON +. DUFFY. warden
~ of the prison, thanks the
men for this work in a first page
column of the News that seems
to be his regular feature. He
also assures relatives and friends
of the inmates of San Quentin,
which is in the area of San
Francisco, and therefore in
what is called the theater of
war, that every precaution has
been taken for the safety OF the
prisoners.
Warden Duffy says that in
collaboration with the inmates
the officials have arranged for
the complete and speedy evacu-
alton Of the cell blocks If neces-
sity arises. He asks the men
not TO be alarmed when they
hear the jute mill whistle after
working hours, explaining that
short. intermittent blasts OF
two-minute duration Will be
sounded whenever a blackout is
ordered to summon prison Off
Gals to their stations 10 pro-
tect the prisoners. The all-clear
signal will be sounded by one
continuous two-mlnute blast of
the whistle.
Warden Duffy adds that there
may be a call issued for dona-
tons of blood for use by the
army and navy medical corps
and says if there is, he has no
doubt that the inmates of San
Quentin will respond with alac-
rity. And now let us present, IN
part, the suggestion of the News
for prisoner labor battallonS,
which may be worth the consd-
Grafton of the government Off
Gals.
tTTHERE are In our prisons,
Il tens of thousands Of able
bodied men who are eager TO
contribute as much as possible
TO their country's defense. We
know. OF course, that all these
men cannot be freed. We do
believed that the majority Of
them could be relea sed on condi-
tion that they serve their coun-
try.
THE San Quentin News pro-
poses that battalions Of mobile
workers be formed by voluntary
enlistments from the ranks Of
eligible prison Inmates. BY
eligible we mean men whose

BY HUGH S. JOHNSON

MR.. DONALD NELSON is
AVA making speed in setting up
the only kind of organization
with which he can ever approach
his colossal job. That, however,
is going TO take time.
He has 10 put representatives
of all the supply departments of

representatives Of the procuring
bureaus, and making them COM
pose their conflicts before pre-
senting their combined problems

Mr.. Nelson is doing that with
great speed by means Of a mu-

Experts Declare
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. Jan. 90
There is grumbling because
Donald Nelson has no act Of
Congress upon which TO stand
and do the biggest Job Of the
generalisSlmo OF produc-
ton on the home front The
related facts of the appointment
are these:
Mr. Roosevelt promised 10 let
Mr. Nelson write his own White
House law. The President kept
that promise. The executive
order was written by Mr.. Nelson
and his OPM attorney. Milton
Katz. formerly with the securl-
ties and exchange commission
and Justice department.
Friends told Nelson he had
better make 1t good, or some
day he might wish he had. Mr..
Roosevelt signed IL without
changing a word.
No one needs law around
this town ordinarily if Mr..
Roosevelt Is for him. This order
gives Nelson the Presidents firm
backing 10 direct the OPM. army
ana navy procurement and even

merce secretary ever let any one
get authority TO tell HIM what
10 do.
THE difference between this
Il and the old order is clearly
presented on the point of the
supply prlorlties and ALLEGATIONS
board. Formerly the board made
decision and Nelson was only the
executive officer designated 10
carry out the decisions. Now
Nelson will act with the advice
and assistance (but not the
consentj of the board. He mas

pendent personality makes it
clear FDR is handing the whole
matter over TO Nelson with only

strings attached.
