fathers have learned very little on this

they seek to force docility upon their

rent of popular thought and of social
evolution.
Labor unions are now generally
recognized as democratic institutions
indeed, as Indispensable bulwarks of a
free society. The right of men to join
i'm voluntary associations of their own
choosing is an inescapable extension
and corolary of the right of free as

its teachers. Since unions cannot prop

relationship to Il city that exists be-

in denying these teachers the right TO
membership in any labor union, the
municipal government, we think, has

that Il subsidy program and grade

About 100 representatives from all
branches of Labor, in Ohio. Michigan.
Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia,
including the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, were in attendance.
Phil Hannah, Federation Secretary
and principal Labor speaker at the
meeting, declared that "Labor's pur-
pose is clear: the urgent needs of war
demand complete stabilzatiOn of the
war economy. This requires, as in
Separable elements, wage StabiliZatiOn
and price stabilization. We already
have wage freezing, and we must also
have complete price freezing. This
means that prices must be rolled back
to September II, 1912. and kept there" "
The delegates to the conference came
out strongly for Il subsidy program
which would be a check on prOfiteer-
ing, grade labelling, continued rent con-
troll. and dollars and cents ceilings on
all costs OF living items at the Septem-
ber Il. 1942 level

the federation says.
Housing conditions are interfering
with war production in many centerS,
the federation asserts, citing the case
of one west coast city where workers
are living in chicken cOopS, sleeping in
parks and theaterS, while $50 work
ers are housed in Substandard quarters.
Housing Failure Charged
The National Housing Agency has
not met the need for war workers

adds:
Unless decent housing is provided
for war workers, no amount of force
in manpower control will bring out the
necessary war production. Men who
sleep in parks and theaters, live in
chicken coopS or spend 3 hours getting
to work cannot give what ii takes 10

teeiSm production delays are the in
evitable result"

power shortage"
Already critical manpower shortages
exist in some occupations in % cities
and the shortages will grow more and
more severe unless steps are taken at
once to meet them, the federation de-
clareS.
Remedial Policy Stressed
Labor, if given the responsibility
it adds could persuade qualified
people 10 leave non-esscntal jobs and
transfer to war work; also 10 help
persons not now wOrking,wOmen anh
young people who reach working age
to get into suitable jobs in munitions
plants
Discussing remedying or conditions
that cause manpower shortages, the
federation says:
The policy Of placing both war and
civilian production in towns where
labor supply is plentiful must be rigid
ly adhered 10, both in Washington and
this applies 10 the War and Navy
Departments and other government

'It also means that companies re-
