Equal Rights
 Bill Approved
 By Committee

WASHINGTON, April 1o-The Senate Judiciary Committee has ap- proved with some changes S2s, the so-called equal rights amendment bill, which calls for the addition to the U. 5. Constitution of a declaration that women and men shall have equal rights. No public hearing was held on the measure.
 The bill has been consistently op- posed by organized labor. The AEL has declared the amendment would place i'll jeopardy all laws protecting women in industry"
 Labor, weekly publication of the railway brotherhoods, said editorially When the 'Woman's Party, year after year, persists in demanding that the good laws go out the window with the bad laws, we feel we are justified in concluding that those who put up the funds for the Woman's Party are pri- marily concerned in destroying the good laws-that is, the laws which protect working women and which for years have been vigorously assai1ed by such organizations as the NAM.
 The CIO auxiliaries said the pro poSal would destroy protective indus trial legislation and undermine laws which relate to widows pensions, rights of dependent wives and chil- dren and guardianship.

Standard Oil. Opposes Ban On Nazii Link
Minority Stockholders Fight Connection With Ger
 man Company

TRENTON, N. J. The Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey management has urged stockholders to reject a resolution proposed by minority stock holders to bar postwar revival of its cartel agreement with the Nazi grm of I. c. Farbenindustries.
 In offering the resolution, a committee of stockholders headed by William Floyd H and Amos S. Basel charged that the cartel with the German monopoly had ''pre- vented our government having ade- quate supplies of high Octane gasO- line and synthetic rubber for the war;"
 Opposition to the resolution was sent to all Standard stockholders in conjunction with the manage ment's request for proxies. to be voted at the annual stockholders meeting.
 "In opposing the resolution" the minority committee said, i've feel that the management is refusing to give the stockholders and the American people the forward-looking approach to post war planning that we have a right to expect from our leaders in the busi- ness world.
 Tt will do little good to beat the Nazis if we permit the conditions which created and made them strong to continue to exist. To wait until af- ter the war is over .. will be to in vite all manner of manipulation and agreements"

Plans for the establishment of train ing courses in Connecticut for drivers of heavy tractor-trailer trucks, spon- Sored by the Labor Management com- mittee of the Office of Defense Trans portation, are nearly complete" and will be put in operation within short time, according to John F. Maerz, Hartford distric- O.D.T. manager.
 Representative of labor, manage bent and the government, at a meeting held in Hartford have drawn up a tentative outline of the schooling which will be given to prospective drivers. This course will include field and road practice as we'll as classroom instructiOn.''
 "This is the first time," Maerz said, "that such a course has been under taken by labor and management in the trucking industry to fill the need for more drivers. It is distinct con- tribution to the war effort, since the shortage of drivers in theis territory is severe, and replacements are difficult to get"
 SUPPLY SHORT
 Labor officials state that the SUD- ply of drivers is only about 75 per cent of normal, while the demand has increased.
 Members of the labor-management committee who met with Maerz this week were Robert Whiteside of Asso- ciated Transport, John Pisano, Local 443, Teamsters' Union, Edward Palmer of the Smedley Company, and Frank Daly of the Training Division of the War Manpower Commission.
 It is expected that the first train ing school will be opened in Hart ford, with later schools in New Ha- ven, Waterbury and Bridgeport. De tails will be handled by the W.M.C. Training Division.

 Before free labor was crushed by Mussolini upon his accession to power, the Italian General Con- federation of Labor numbered more than two million members and was great force of democracy. Its suppression by MussOlini and his persecution of its leaders marked the beginning of an era of fascist terrorism in Europe.
 Said Mir. Green, ssFascism can- not be overthrown by outsiders alone. That job must be done by the Italian people themselves. The hour to strike is at hand. At this moment the fascist leaders are stricken with terror over the threat of invasion from Africa; they know they are doomed.
 "The members of the American Federation of Labor are giving their support to the underground anti-fasc- ist movement in Italy. They will honor and assist all who rally to this cause.

Vil Industry Join With Labor For Post>War Program?

NEW YORK.-Immedia action by management, labor, agriculture and the Government to prepare now for vastly expanded postwar production which will provide jobs for all was demanded by A.F.L. President William Green this week.
 Speaking at "unity luncheon climaxing the annual meeting of the annual meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce, MT. Green declared that the notable services rendered by industry, workers, and farmers in this war S'merely scratch the surface of the potential benefits that continued and enhanced unity can bring to the American people after the war is over."
 sSAs the representative of six million American workers" he con- tinued, StI hereby give you my sol emn pledge that labor will go more than halfway toward a meeting of the minds and unity of action. We are ready to work with you and serve with you and sacrifice with you, come what may, for democ- racy's inevitable victory and for the ultimate triumph of free enter prise."
 Other speakers at the same lunch con included Eric Johnston, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Owen D. Young and Ed O'Neal, head of the Farm Bureau Federation.
 MT. Green emphasized that "free enterprise" is not the sole prerogative of the owners and managers of indus try. He said:
 cit is a freedom shared and jeaIously guarded by every Ameri- can worker and farmer. It is an economic freedom-the freedom of opportunity-which is just as im- pOrtant and just as basic in the hearts of American citizens as their political and religious freedoms.
 ssAt present, the challenge to free enterprise comes from our enemies in this war who deny that it is eff ficient, adaptable to modern needs or deserving of preservation. Our answer to this challenge is an end less stream of planes, ships, tanks and guns which will inevitably crush the proponents of slave in- dustry slave agriculture and slave labor.
 "But when victory is attained and the war ends, a new and even greater challenge will arise to confront free enterprise. We can see it coming now. It casts its menacing shadow upon industry, labor and agriculture alike. It presents this question to each of us-wi1l we measure up? Will we be able to produce the prod ucts of peace on the same scale that we are now producing the weapons of war? Will we be able to sell our merchandise? Will we be able to do this or will our entire economy col lapse.
 SsYou, the representatives of American industry, cannot solve these problems alone, nor can labor, nor can the farmers, nor the Government. But it is my pro- found conviction that we can solve them together. And it is my un- shakeable purpose to press for such united action until it is achieved" !"
