gaging . three-plane Wildcat patrol.
Outmaneuyering and outperforming
the enemy group, the Lightnings
downed four Zeros in quick success
sion. Two enemy planes started for
home but both were brought down.
The two remaining were probably
destroyed.
Capt. Burnett's eight-plane Marine
fight took on more than 48 dive
bombers protected by Zeros. They
attacked as the Japanese emerged
from clouds. On the first pass Capt.
Burnett sent one bomber down in
flames.
While tackling six other planes
Capt. Burnett's own Wildcat was
put out of action. He parachuted
to safety in waters of Cape Es-
perance where he was rescued. The
others in Capt. Burnett's flight ac-
counted for two dive -bombers and =
Zero.

Elizabeth Burnett, is employed In

The marine officer was born in
Boston on August 18, 1915. His

In his acceptance speech, President
Green predicted that 1914 would be a
''fateful year" in the history of
America and the labor movement. He
pledged that labor will measure up
to all requirements in the war effort.
He emphasized that political decisions
of "great import to the working peo-
pie of our country" will have to be
made. Finally, he invited unions not
at present in the AFL to come into the
fold and promised a vigorous drive to
organize the unorganized.
Mr.. Meany told the convention:
"We have come long way in this
war but we still have long way to
go and this American Federation of
Labor must continue to give it's vital
support on the production lines to
bring about victory. That is our first
job. Our second job is to protect the
interest of our members and the work
ing people of this nation while victory
is being accomplished"

GOOD BILL KILLED

The United States Senate didn't en-
hance its reputation when it virtually
killed the S300,000,00O school aid bill,
which had organized labor's support
The Senate killed the measure after
voting into it an amendment forbid
ding discrimination because of race,
creed or color in the administration
of not only federal funds but also the
state moneys they would supplement.
The measure was sent back to the
Committee on Education and Labor,
where it cannot be brought out again
for long time, if at ALL A coalition
of 20 Southern Democrats and 33 op-
ponents did the shelving. The action
of the Southern Democrats was plain
ly based on the anti-discrimination
clause, as most of them had favored
the bill previously.
Playing of peanut politics and ca
tering to race prejudice were involved
in the Senate's action, which was
blow at advancement of popular edu-
cation, State after state is expert
encing an educational crisis, as the
result of inability to hold poorly paid
teachers in the face of demands for
their services in better paying work
The $30o,Oo0,ooO aid bill proposed to
correct this situation, in part at least,
by helping the states to raise teach
ers' salaries and generally improve
educational programs, which in many
states are totally inadequate to this
day and age.

while at home they were in the habit
of voting for municipal and state Of
ficers and Congressman, Senators,
and the President, they find that in
the District they can't even vote for
dogcatcher.
In the nations capital the President
appoints three commissioners, who
govern the city (they think under
the supervision of committees of the
Senate and House These committees
have the final OK on tax rates and
expenses. These committees therefore
are the counterparts of city councils
in the states. The people of DC have
little to say about it.
At almost every session of Con-
gress bills are introduced providing
for self-government for the people of
DC, but they always remain just bills;
none are ever enacted.
In the present session new bills
have been introduced, and they will
probably be just bills.
Meanwhile, the people of the DC,
capital of the greatest democracy in
the world, have the status of other
aliens and Indians.

Workers JourneD
The War Production Board through
its chairman Donald Nelson, has de-
cided that, in order to avoid scarcity
of manpower in some places and a
surplus in others, no contract will be
let in SO "areas of acute labor short
age"
Labor unions have pointed out
again and again that this would hap
pen, but didn't get much satisfaction.
There are small factories and scat
tered shops where capable workers
are working the same as they did be-
fore the war started. In other places
they are working two and three shifts
a day or working overtime, and still
there is a surplus of work. If this
work is distributed among these
smaller plants, greater use of our
manpower will result.
We know of one city where compe-
tent molders, coremakers and foundry
workers are only making four days
per week, and these employees cannot
get release to seek work in plant
making war materials and working
two shifts, six and seven days a week.

UNEMPLOYMENT MAN-MADE

Every country at war now knows
that unemployment is man-made, and
can be unmade by man. Faced by the
necessity of mobilizing all of our re-

unemployment ought not to exist in

will have to be called on to overcome

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

EOR many years following the last
l. war the American Legion con-
stantly asserted it's belief that in the
event of another such catastrophe
both labor and wealth should be draft
ed. No right-minded citizen could diff
fer with that platform. Everyone can
subscribe to service to our country
when everyone is treated the same.
For many months, however, the
commanders of the Legion, both past
and present, have been touring the
country making speeches condemning
American working people for not pro-
ducing the munitions of war 100 per-
cent. The present commander told the
AFL convention in effect, that labor
should be drafted. They have joined
with labor haters in smearing the
working people of this country not for
producing less than expected but for
not producing what some of the ex-
perts think they ought to produce.
And this in spite of the fact that our
workers have not only outproduced all
other countries but have produced
vastly more than anyone, including
these same experts" ever expected
American factories to produce.
We have here led the reader to do
what officials of the American Legion
seem to have done-forget the other
wing Of their war program. Remem-
Der reading our first paragraph about
drafting labor AND WEALTH?
Why have Legion officers soft
pedaled the drafting of wealth?
Labor took an awful beating from
news writers and radio commentators
because the Brewster Aeronatical
Corporation in New Jersey was un-
duce airplanes for the armed services.
Management blamed union and union
blamed management for incompetency
and failing to have materials on hand.
Got so bad that Henry Kaiser was
called in and put in charge of the
three plants. First thing Henry did
was to establish confidence with union
members (not difficult for him), and
it now appears that with Kaiser and
union working together these plants
will begin to produce.
The term management" means
ability to manage something be
able to handle man and machines and
get production. Brewster manage
ments, it appears, couldn't manage
anything, so little was produced
Union, however, as usual, was blamed
for all the trouble. Washington Post,
even sent the wife of it's owner to
report, and she, naturally, blamed
workers.
Kaiser, however, knows that to pro-
duce efficiency, management must
manage workers. And he knows how
He knows that workers are people,
and he knows people can produce if
given half chance.
Just watch Brewster from now on.
