Seattle Plans For Postwar

Seattle, Wash. (ILNS). - Seattle
has joined the growing list of cities
setting up special agencies to deal
with their postwar planning problems.
Chairman of the new Seattle commits

men of the board of public works, the
streets and sewers committee and the
city planning commission; the presi-
dent of the city council, the city engi-
neer and the president of the park

ing into such problems as establish
ment of a public works program, de-
velopment of local resources, expan-
sion of the public health program,
and elimination of slum areas.

than most residents of this area had
believed submarines adventuring for
many months.
There could be no other meaning to
it. Rescue craft had made a round trip
to torpedoed crew, taking time out
to pick up the survivors. AS modern
subs cruise, that isn't far, believe it
or not.
Submarines that close could mean
two types of action aside from tori
pedoing ships. They could let loose
with off-shore shells, or they could
launch planes for nuisance raid.
These possibilities are known gen.
orally. What Miamians saw in this
event was not any invasion scare, but
the definite possibility of enemy ac-
tion sufficiently grave to take. the
sleep out of firing eyes and jolt foggy
brains to a sense of realities in the
way of damaging nuisance action by
a more and more desperate enemy.

SPONGE IRON
PROGRAM SPREADS
AS MORE STATES
JOIN MOVEMENT

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). State
efforts to effect decentralization of
the steel industry, as a step away
from monopoly control of raw mate
rials needed for American manufac-
lures, are gaining momentum.
Most states are calling attention to
local reserves of iron and coal as
foundations for program of develop
ing state resources for the benefit of
workers within the state.
Minnesota and North Dakota, how
ever, are joining forces SO as to use
native iron ore deposits of Minnesota
and the Ignite coal of North Dakota
as the basic raw materials needed to
set up steel making plants in Mime
sofa and North Dakota. Cars of iron
ore moving to North Dakota would
return to Minnesota filled with Ignite.
'sGhost Town Threat
The plan is the result of a confer
ence of the two states which has been
stimulated to action by the departure
of workers from both states to other
production centers. More than 1885, 900
of the population has already moved
out. North Dakota alone has lost 75,-
900 persons. "Ghost towns" are
springing up in both states. Unem-
ployment is serious problem now,
but potentially of greater seriousness
after the war ends. So both states
think iron and steel should be made
near the source of raw materials in
stead Of shipping it all to the Chicago
and Pittsburgh areas.
Chief obstacle now is refusal of
WPB to grant priorities. To this, F. j.
Fredrickson, the Conference Secre-
tary, replies.
"Our practical offers to engage our
own people locally for the war effort
are repeatedly answered by the in
ane excuse that the steel shortage is
still too serious to justify construction
of facilities needed-even though in
less than month they would produce
a tonnage greater than that of the
steel required"
A formal hearing on the Minnesota
and North Dakota conference pro-
posal will be held June by the Boy
kin Steel Shortage Investigating
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, before which John P. Frey
testified over year ago.

challenge was accepted by molders.

duties until he returns The request
was granted. Mr.. and Mrs. Chaplin will

LYNCH LAW
(Fr0m the Washington POst)

Patriotic fervor sometimes takes
strange and unshapely forms. Accord
ing to an Associated Press report,
some well-meaning citizens of Duluth,
Mimi, planned to dramatize their
war-loan drive recently by hanging
Hitler in efgy, after court-martialing
him with a firing squad serving as
jury. If you stop to think about this
for minute, you will recognize it as
precisely the kind of trial which Hitler
himself has made common throughout
Europe. 1t is an expression of the
lynching spirit which has made the
Nazis the enemies of all civilized man
kind. Every American true to the
principles of his country must shun
that spirit as if it were plague.
When men lose their tempers, they
are liable also to lose sight of their
goals. 1t would be we'll for us to re-
member this as our anger rises over
fresh instances of the cruelty and saw
agery practiced by our enemies. 1t
we ape their barbarity instead of ex-
tinguishing it, we ourselves will be
conquered in spite of how successful
our armed forces may be.

Militant Executive Council Maps Fight Connay
Measure AFL Will Try To Vote Out Every Member
Of Congress Who Votes For Fascist Anti-LabOr Bill

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) An
all-out fight against the Connally-
Smith bill was declared this week by
the Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
1t was accompanied by reaffirma-
tion of labor's no-strike pledge.
Put together, the two statements
mean that the AFL, which has en-
forced its solemn compact with the
government not to strike and will con-
tinue to do so "come what may" is
firmly opposed to Fascist procedures
"to enslave and stultify free American
labor"
Not only will the AFL try to defeat
the Connally Smith bill, but it will try
to vote out of Office any member of
Congress who supports it. Unto this
effort, the American Federation of
Labor will pour every resource at it's
command"
The AFL statement reaffirming it's
|
no-strike pledge, enumerated the vic
tories of Americas "basic battle of
production" and congratulated the
six million members of the AFL
"whose hard work, untiring skill and
patriotic devotion to duty have helped
to make these glorious production
achievements possible" The council
then said:
AFL Originated "NO-Strike"
"We take pride in the fact that this
executive council originally sponsored
the no-strike pledge which served as
the inspiration and guide for Ameri-
can soldiers of production in their
long and sustained drive to make our
nation the arsenal of democracy.
"But even more gratifying has been
the loyal and answering fulflment
of this pledge by the members of the
American Federation of Labor during
period of abnormal economic pres
sure and hardship.
"The executive council considers il
timely and important to emphasize
now that the no-strike pledge was
made for the duration. 1t was given as
labor's contribution to victory. This
solemn compact with our government
stands intact today, supported by the
good faith and the high resolve OF
every American Federation of Labor
worker. 1t must be maintained in let.
ter and in spirit until this war is won
"In reaffirming our no-strike pledge
at this time, the executive council
wishes the American people to under.
/ stand that we regard it as valid anc
compelling obligation upon our part
come what may. No matter how
sharply the members of the American
Federation of Labor may disagree
with wartime restrictions that have
been imposed upon labor, the no-strike
pledge holds good for them. No strike
will be authorized or approved by the
American Federation of Labor and its
affiliated unions until the enemies OF
