UNION MEN IN LEGION WILL SEEK
ACTION AT NATIONAL CONVENTION

COME so union labor posts Of the American
~ Legion will form conference to fight the anti
labor policies of Roane Waring and other tor
chiefs Of that organization at the national con
venton to be held in Omaha in September.
The recent offer Of Big Business to provide an
"Americansm Fund Of $20OOO,OO0 to be used
by the Legion for propaganda will be bitterly op-
posed by the labor group.
This offer made by X. II. Bernard, indianapolis
executive vice president of the OWen-llnois Glass
Company has aroused lot of comment in the
Legion'S ranks.
Bernard explained frankly that industry could
Mt well sponsor such a campaign, nor organlza-
tions like the National Association Of Manufac-
turers because their objectives might be msun-
derstood" He said that the Legion chosen as
a more favorable vehicle
Union labor posts of the Legion want such
talks as those made by Roane Warng demand
ing "crackdoWn' on labor stopped. These posts
claim that hundreds of thousands Of union men
belong to the Legion and that more than 100000
union men are now serving in the armed forces.
They are bitterly opposed to the Legion being
used in anti-labor undertakings and open-shop and
point to the action Of Legion chiefs in blocking the
formation of labor posts =. movement endorsed
by the AFL. Some Legion Departments have
turned down every application from uniOnStS for
chartering posts and unionsts in the Legion say
this is "boycott."

SOURCE OF WEAKNESS

WITH CONGRESS- again in session, advocates of
" national service legislation in full cry, ulg-
ing proposals for compulsory placement of labor
Though the voluntary system has not been given a
fair trial. Organized workers still believe that
until such trial is given, with overall planning
of production and recruitment of manpower, q
labor draft is unnecessary
Supporters of labor draft fail to see that
action weakenS q democracy'S ability
to act q point that was made recently by Dr.
Abraham Shustcman, member of the executive
board of the Central Conference Of American
RabbiS. Discussing the Austin-Wadsworth bill
which will be pressed in the present congressional
session, DIR. ShuStelman said:
81 am unalteraby opposed tc the Austin
|WadsWorth draft labor bill. A democracy does not
strengthen itself by enactng such legislation On
the contrary, it thus Weakens itself and loses its
soul. TO seek to solve our national problems in this
way is not only unfair but dangerous.
''Wc dare not ignore the supreme loyalty of
American labor which has been manifest through
out these trying months. 1t is unfair, whether by
nnuendo or by direct legislation, to accuse labor
oI dlSloyalty. The proponents Of this Legislation
fail to consider the real facts Of housing dscrimi-
nation in industry in violation of Executive Order
SS02, and accidents for which labor is not respon-
Slblc. What our country needs is a throughgoing
and impartial survey of existing conditions and a
plan, based upon realities rather than upon
fantasy

HALIFAX LONGSHOREMEN
STRIKE AGAINST THE USE
OF ARMED GUARDS

Halifax, N. S. ULNS).-About 500
members of the International Long
shoremen's Association have gone ON
strike against unloading liquor cargo
from steamers here under new cOndi-
tons involving the use of armed
guards as requirements for the regul-
lar watchmen who have been given
employment at the docks.
The longshoremen objected not only
to the new men carrying rifles dis
placing the watchmen, but to the pres
ence Of the strangers standing right
over them while the liquor was being
removed from the steamer holds to
the dock warehouses.
The strikers announced they would
resume work Immediately if the armed
guards were eliminated and the watch
men given their jobs back. No other
type of cargo is affected by the strike.

DREW PEARSON HAD IT COMING

PRESIDENT ROOSEVEL1"S angry reputation
Of Columnist Drew Pearson as a "chonic liar
should have beneficial results.
Pearson is an emotionalist and professional
gossip whose passion for the sensation has been
known often to make him deliberately careless of
the facts. And when it comes to throwing a smear
he could teach the ladies at the bridge club a
trick or two
Mr.. Pearson it should not be forgotten backed
Rickenbacker with the charge that the labor
unions were unpatriotc}IIy insisting on "feathel-
bedding" rules to the dctriment of the war de-
paltment.
Pearson selected for particular examples the
Of the teamSters who, on long distance hauls
insist on having two men on Il truck. Pearson
thought that was unpatrotc "feather-bcddng' y
ignoring completely the facts of the situation
that two men ON these trucks permit them to keep
rolling because while one man drove the other
slept. One man on the trucks would obge the
driver to pull up at the side Of the road while he
slept.
Pearson also thought that milk drivers ought
to take wage cuts when the milk companies cut
down deliveries to three times week. Pearson
ignored completely the fact that the drivers were
having to DO the same amount of work in three
days that they had been doing in SiX that the milk
companies had no right to the saving in delivery
costs and that it did not cost the milk companies
Il red cent to make the change in their delivery
systems, and that therefore they were not justi-
fed in cutting the mems wages

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN
SETS NEW HIGH MARK

Washington, ID. G. ULNS).-In July,
l1,lOO,OOO women, Il new high figure,
were gainfully employed in the United
States, the Census Bureau reports. The
total shows an increase of 3,OOO,OO
since July, 1912, when 14,1O0,OOO
women were employed.
The July report shows 14,SOO,O 900
women in nOn-agricultural work, an in
crease of 100000 since July, 1912.
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
reported that more than four-tifths of
the net addition of 1,S33,0O to the
working force of American factories
from April, 1912, to last June have
been women.
"Wartime industrial expansion re-
suited in an increase of 2,OOO.0OO
women in manufacturing industries
since October, 1912, as compared with
an increase of 100000 men," she
said. This brought the total number
of women factory wage carnerS in
June, 1943 to more than 4,25O,OOO or
30 per cent of all factory workers, ac-
cordnS to Il survey by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics"

Detroit, Mich. Check $ tOtaling
Sd, 2,536.OS We're recently awarded to
II members of the AFL Auto Workers
Union, representing back pay due them
from the Hudson Motor Car Co
The case dates back to 1899 when in
IA controversy between the AFL union
and the CIO the Hudson Co. kept II
AFL men from their jobs. The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board ordered
the men reinStated with back pay. The
Hudson Co. took the matter to the
federal courts twice, but the last de-
ciSion upheld the NLRB and the AFL
union. Thereupon the company paid
the amount fixed by the NLRB. The
court order also included provision for
reinstatement of the men. Six returned
30 their jobs. The others, on leave of
absence because Of better paying jobs,
were given option of returning after
the war.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

TO meet the challenge OF the Z to l.
million unemployed predicted by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics as likely
6 months after the war, the Public
Affairs Committee has prepared sum-
mary of the findings and recommends
tiOns of the National Resources Plan
ming Board on postwar jobs and social
security.
This summary, "Jobs and Security
for Tomorrow by Maxwell S. Stew
art, contrasts the American emphasis
on jobs in it's postwar thinking with
the insurance approach contained in
the British Beverage plan. American
labor has long stressed the paramount
Importance of jobs, holding that all
able and willing to work are entitled TO
employment, at decent wages, under
fair conditions.
The pamphlet points out that we
must not only be prepared to provide
for millions of unemployed after the
war, but we must be prepared to pro-
vide them with more than we did after
the last depression.
"a survey by the National Resources
Planning Board of 50 cities of $4,000
or more population revealed that in
none of the cities was the relief grant
sufficient to maintain a family on an
emergency level And the 'emer-
gency' budget is only about y per cent
of the maintenance budget worked out
by the Division of Social Research of
the Works Progress Administration, ,"
the pamphlet says.
Significantly, the new" American
Bill of Rights-the nine postwar goals
for the United States set forth by the
planning board-places first the right
to work, usefully, and creatively
through the productive years."
Underlying the entire plan of the
American social security program is
to work and is capable of working
shall have Il job
This is a fundamentally different
approach from the British approach" :"
Stewart declares. The British have
got away from charity by emphasizing
insurance and the pooling of risks in
dealing with insecurity But in
dealing with the threat of postwar I'M
employment, our planning authorities
have emphasized jobs and constructive
work rather than any form of cash
help"
Furthermore the pamphlet con-
tinueS, 'the American policy of link
ing insurance benefits to wages, in con
trast to the British system of equal
contributions for all, has been adopted
because of a desire to give the Ameri
can worker every incentive to seek ad-
Jobs and Security for Tomorrow"

tual 1O-cent pamphlets issued by the
Public Affairs Committee, a nOnprofit,

The controversy over the affairs of
the Department of State rolls on ana
up to this hour nobody has much the
better of the situation.
Writing screeds against Mr. Hull is
about like writing to an editor attack
ing the editor. He can always get the
last word.
However, while Mr.. Hull can get the
last word, with the biggest headlines,
he hasn't made very good use of it
thus far.
| One is moved to wonder whether 1T
has been left to Westbrook Pegler to
pull Mr.. Hull's chestnuts out of the
old family fireplace.
Not that Mr.. Pegler has in so many
words said Mr. Hull is OK, but that
he has joined in piling up harsh words
against Drew Pearson.
Now Drew Pearson once said some
rather hurtful things about the writer
of this column, wherefore this writer
would not be open to the suspicion of
partisanship for Mr.. Pearson.
! But when Mr.. Pegler sets it down
that Mr.. Pearson's work is that of the
gents room journalist" it seems to be
drawing a rather long bow, even for
Mr.. Pegler.
For rather long time it has been
known to those who know Washington
that Mr.. Peason is about as well in
formed about our State Department us
any other man in Washington 1t can
not be assumed that his writing is
either that of the peeping Tom variety
or of the poorly informed.
| Which means that if one is to chal-
lenge his statements it seems as if
facts should be adduced contra his
statements.
| Mr.. Pegler hasn't done any fact pro-
ducing yet. He has just contended him
self with saying that Mr.. Pearson's
kind of journalism isn't quite nice.
If we are to assume that Mr.. Pegler
is an honest man-and any who as
sumo otherwise should be prepared
with proof-then it is equally fair to
assume that Mr.. Pearson is an honest
man, unless and until it can be proven
that he is not an honest man.
Mr.. Pegler himself decribed an Incl
dent in World War I, in which Adj
miral Sims denied statement which
Mr. Pegler had written and which Mr.
Pegler now proves was true as and
when he wrote it.
Mr.. Pegler tells this story, perhaps,
to indicate that Mr. Pearson now may
be telling the truth, while officials find
it necessary to deny that it is the
truth, even though Mr.. Pegler very
carefully doesn't say so.
Having said what has been said
isn't it about time to observe that
United States foreign policy is some
thing just bit bigger than quarrels
between cOlumniSt or between column
iSt and United States officials?
Isn't our foreign policy Il bit more
important than bait for mud singing?
And isn't it usually a fact that Il
proper regard for national welfare and
Il proper dignity about its own affairs
normally earns and gets the respectful
treatment of even those who disagree?
Very few public officials can hurl
singing and derogatory words and
themselves look good in the process.
And no denial of truth can forever
keep it bured.-CMW.

To Easy Win

PITTSBURGH, May 2s.-R -
The Brooklyn Dodgers used both
the sublime and the ridiculous me-
thods to score four runs in the
first inning today and coast to a
6 to victory over the Pirates.
The ridiculous came first
when, after walking three men,
Hang Gornicki cut loose with a
wild pitch that let two runs score.
Then, with one mate still aboard,
Dixie Walker dumped his second
homer of the year into the right
field stands. This was sublime"
to everyone but the Pirates, who
sank into seventh place in the ma
tional league through the defeat.
Meantime, Ed Head hurled SIX
hitter in chalking up his fourth
win of the year against one de-
feat. Banking the Bucs until the
seventh, he stretched his string
of scoreless innings to 26, but then
a walk, single and an error gave
the Pirates their first run. Vince
