Commission, and other federal agen.
cieS.
In view of the greatly increased
employment of women i'm war pro
ductiOn, the resolutions committee, con.
sisting of John w. Gibson, Michigan
labor commissioner, and William L.
Connolly, director of the Rhode Island
labor department, stressed the value
of uphOlding such standards as the
S-hour day, 4S-hour week, one day OF
rest in seven, the same wage rates for
women as men, proper safeguards fOl
health and safety, previously adopted
by eight Government agencies and
earlier conferences attended by state
labor officials since the beginning OF
the war.
The resolution on non-war industries
declared that labor standards should
not be relaxed to permit war workers
or civilians to have articles or serv-
ices that may be desirable in peace
time but which are not truly essential
to meet subsistence needs in wartime
economy.
Such relaxation would injure tn.
health and well-being of some of Oull
people, to provide nOn-essentials fol
others.
The resolution added, "If it is not
otherwise possible to provide wal
workers and civilians with basic sub
sistence needs for wartime living. a
relaxation of state labor laws may be
necessary i'm areas of extreme labor
shortages. Definite standards should
be established If such relaxation is
granted"

War On Fire Peril

Washington, ID. G. ULNS).-Repe-
tion of fire rs disastrous as the Boston
night club blaze in which 4IO persons
lost their lives, could easily occur in
other types of occupancy i'm many
cities and towns, in the opinion of
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
She has made Il nationwide appeal to
state labor department officials to
check fire hazards in factories, mcr-
camille establishments, theatres, and
all places of public assembly
Reports Indicate that many state
and municipal building codes are out
of date, incomplete and unrealStic I'M
der crowded modern condlonS,' she
said. Even in some juriSdicatiOnS
where building safety regulations are
adequate there is confusion or doubt
as to which one of two or more
agencies actually has the responsibility
for enforcement, tending to nullify
protection which might be afforded by
applying regulations i'm respect to
building exits, occupancy limits strllc-
features of fire hazard control.
"rhere is today no excuse for cX-
posing human beings to death-trap fire
hazards. We have Il long and tragic
history of mass fatalities through fires
In factories, theatres, halls, mercan-
tile establishments, and the principles
of safe exits have been learned the
hard way, but they are now well
known. In most of the fires in build
ings of public occupancy in the last 20
years the principal cause for excessive
loss of life has been the lack of an
adequate number of exits"
war production have been caused by
conflicting Government policies "and
not by any failure of amy segment of
our working population voluntarily to
perform the Jobs that have to be dome"
he said.
Green contcnded the manpower
problem must be integrated with all
other phases of the war such as the
size OF the armed forces and allotment
of critical materials. TO illustrate, he
said ii would do no good to assign
1000 more skilled workers TO Il plant
already below its production levels be
cause of Il want of essential materials.
To questions by Austin, Green
agreed that If a time arrived when the
AFL believed such legislation was
necessary, it would support it. The
Senator read from Il statement to that
effect issued In January and Green
| added:
That's our position Green told
Senator Austin however, that you are
way out in hurry here with this
| bilD because we haven't drained the
reservoir of manpower yet. It's uues-
ton of moving them from areas of un-
employment like New York City"

Nazis Report Naples
In Ruins, Completely
Cut Off From Outside
BY the Associated Press.


Naples, its picturesque harbor in
ruins and sll its factories smashed
to rubble by Allied bombers, is the
only city of more than 1,00O,O00 in
habitants in the world to be COM
pletely cut off from the outside, the
Berlin radio said yesterday, quoting
Transocean's war correspondent,
Guenter Weber.
Air attacks have dealt such very
hard blows to Naples that the city
and especially its harbor have lost
their Importance even to the ad-
versaries interlocked in embittered
battle hardly 10 kilometers, less
than 7 miles to the SOUTH" Weber
said.
Naples has no more railway con-
nections," he added.
''The sirens are continuing to
screech day and night" he related,
"but the inhabitants, who used to
be seized by frenzied fright when
ever the air alert sounded, are
apathetic today. The underground
stations and subterranean tunnels,
in which four weeks ago tens of
thousands were crammed night
after night, are now empty"
There are only four restaurants
open in the city" e,.
Weber said there was some shoot
ing in various parts of the city,
especially near the central railway
station" on September 8 and 9 and
that huge military depots in the
city were ransacked by civilians in
the nighttime so that the German
military commander had to take
stern measures"
"A few days ago." he added, "Ital-
ian soldiers had to make use of
firearms in order to defend q big
tobacco store against huge mob. "
The population is cold" toward
German soldiers, Weber declared,
but after September many people
have again become honest Fas-
cists."

Draft Of Manpower
Us Up 10 President,
McNuft Declares

War Manpower Chief McNutt said
today that 1T is up to President
Roosevelt to decide whether or not
the country will have national
service legislation.
Asked at a news conference how
he now felt about a labor draft, the
VINO chief responded, "If it comes,
it will have to come from the
President"
Formerly, Mr.. McNutt has con-
tended that national service legisla-
ton was not yet necessary. There
have been indications that the ad-
mlnlstratlon was using War Mobiliza-
ton Director Byrnes' West Coast
manpower plan as a yardstick to
determine whether or not national
service was necessary.
Mr.. McNutt said the West Coast
plan, which provides for strict con-
trolls over the movement of labor. is
being looked at very carefully"
The proposal incorporated in the
plan that prisoners of war be used
in essential activities won't work.
Mr.. McNutt said in answer to a
question.
Under the Geneva Convention, :"
he said, prisoners of war cannot
be used to make the instruments of
war"
Mr.. McNutt also indicated strongly
at the conference that he questioned
the figures of the Costello Committee
on draft deferments in the Federal
service. He contended the figures
were "like others from the same
source"
He admitted, however, that he was
investigating charges that estimated
100000 single and childless married
men, many of them without occupa-
tlonal deferments, still were on, the
Government payroll and never had
been called to service by their draft
boards.
He said that the reports of the
draft boards, on which the Costello
Committee figures were based, in
clude a lot of men who are not
actually employed by the Govern
ment and men who have been
granted deferments at their own re-
quest.

second United States Navy ship to
bear that name.
