A Thought for Today
Union Finances

For some reason - possibly because Congress is considering a bill would make union finances Q matter of public record - the American Federation of Labor recently published full-page nswsaper advertisement which an- nounced: Audited membership and financial reports of the American Fed eratlon of Labor and matter of public record and are available at most public libraries" At the New York Public Li- brary the Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Convention, held. last October, contain the report of Secretary Treasurer George Meany for the year ended August Sl, 1Oa2. This is as broad a breakdown as could be expected in such form. If we were seeking to find skullduggery in A. 2. of L. financing, however, it would be entirely inadequate, We would then have to go to MT. Meany and ask his per- mission to examine the detailed records,
 The published statement, for example, mentions expenditures of $728, ,805.75 for sorganiEing" and $54l ,453.l6 for organ izerS' salaries" There is a miscellaneous general" item of $Sl3, ,l4044.
 If 1t were alleged that the American Federation of Labor as such was pulling fast ones on its memberShip-or on the public no competent investigator would find such lump sum disbursements as these satisfactory, They mean exactly nothing.
 But SO far as we know there has been no general suspicion that the Federation itself was engaged in shenanigans which would be exposed by publicity, The Fed eratlon is . front, a sort of irnpotent gen. eral management, for large number of "afElliates" which, in everything that matters, are completely independent. This is not our interpretation; 1t is the concession and the alibi of President Green when he explains why the Feder- ation does nothing about racketeerS and criminals in It's affiliated internationals. The fact that the A. F. of L. publishes a summary statement of its own financial operations has no bearing whatever upon the question whether operating affilia- tions should be required to make public their own accounts. Do they? If so, the Glles of the New York Public Library, the most complete anywhere in this country, unless perhaps the Library of Congress, do not help much.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-04-06
Red Cross Accomplishments

An advertisement in yesterdays local paper presented in concise statements and . setup of personnel and list of accomplishmentS information that was perhaps Q surprise to many. AS we hesitate on the brink of quota to be reached 1t is suggested that those who have not already read 1t scan the daily paper as of Monday this week and get a load, as they say, of what the Red Cross does, its equipment, and its various branches of service.
 Yesterday our local Red Cross War Fund total was about $110,000, with several more thousand needed to arrive at the quota set at $1S6,000. There is one portion of our population who are active In Red Cross work, who attend classes, and who have plenty to do with outlin- Ing the work. There is another portion to whom Red Cross is just another organ lzation which uses their dollars each year to carry out certain defined program. This second portion would be amazed to know of the many gratis hours that are spent by Waterbury residents as nurses aids, home nurses, attending or instruct ing nutrition classes, canteen, motor corps and first aid assistance. Daily the production is turned out which includes surgical dressings for Army and Navy, foreign and civilian defense needs, for local hospitals, as well as garments and knitted garments. Drivers are giving many hours in service calls, and equip ment of many kinds has been sent to nurseS' homes and to the New London Naval base.
 The Red Cross setup here in Waterbury like in other cities, is an active unit in home service of all kinds. It is going unit, and 1t needs the amount stated in the local quota. It is surprise to many that there are two hundred nurses aides now giving service and help Ing out enormously in the face of a nurse shortage. Sickness has been and still is rampant and nurses fully trained are at premium. These nurses aides are doing good job with little fanfare and merit commendation. They are just one branch of the helpers that the Red Cross has turned out for active service in the community.
 Another quick look at our total set for the necessary quota and what the amount tc date is reminds us that we need to step on it to bridge the gap of the few thou sand dollars lacking.

Same Old Rostlsneck

For long time now the prime bottle neck In prosecution of our war against the Axis has been the same-shippang. Tn the beginning 1t acted principally to impede the importation of raw materials. We overcame that by stripping the civil ian economy to the bone and substituting for everything possible.
 Now we have succeeded in making more weapons than we can ship to the war fronts. Major General Levin H. Camp. bell, chief of ordnance, has announced publicly that the manufacture of ordnance is far ahead of production of ships to transport 1t. There are suffi- cient weapons lying around, waiting for delivery, "to drive the Germans to the bottom of the Mediterranean"

Break Her Back

After tho tanker Schenectady cracked, the Maritime Commlsslonsgave orders Go the Swan Island yard Go do its best dellh- Hrately Co "break the back" oi the next tanker, the Quehec.
 After unusually tough trial runs the Quebec was put on the rack. Water bal. last was pumped into center tanks while those for and aft were empty Then the end tanks were filled and ballast pumped out of the center tanks untll the bending force was l65 per cent greater than that which broke the Schenectady.
 Accidents will happen, under high speed construction - but what the Que bee took, with only normal deflectIon, shows that Henry Kaiser doesn't plan to be caught twice by the same error.

In Today's Mail

ilege,-call 1t what you choose-THE WORK OR FIGHT ULTTMATUM SHOULD BE DELIVERED FORTH. WITH TO THESE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BLUE-RIBBON CONVICT FAT CATS.
 It isn't enough to exploit the man power and machinery WITHIN pris- on walls. Older and partially inca- pacitated convicts, together with the small number of prisoners too twist ed to be trusted outside prison walls in any emergency, can adequately man the Sixty-million dollars worth of machinery and equipment in these institutions. DO not be lulled into a false sense of security by posed photographs of Lewis E. LaweS, Maury Maverick, and w. F.. B. Representative Turner visiting prison plants and planning their harnessing to the war effort. Their work is cOmmendable enough in its entirely inadequate way. Nor should you be beguiled by press photographs of Columbus Ohio Penitentiary in- mated drilling with wooden guns. This is all merely a fractional ef~ fort, a travesty of the urgencies of the moment. Give them real guns, real tools, real work, real warlll The battlefields, the mines, the forests, the ships, the factories of the nation are screaming for n1anpOwer. Here is one scource too sizeable to be over- looked, an untapped reservoir that nothing but a queasy stomach has thus far caused our leaders to fear to exploit.
 Tn peacetime we can afford the luxury of maintaining these striped and unstriped fat cats fin the relative coziness of their expensive kennels, but in wartime the obligation de- wolves upon Us to get them off their sleek haunctes and make them fight or work for their catnip and milk.
 Do you fear their breaking the civilian laws while on furlough? Go down and visit your county Jaiis as I have done. Look at the men in (Continued on Next Page)
