LOSES ROUND
TO BLOCK DEPORTATION

San Francisco ULNS). - Harry
Bridges, west coast CIO labor leader,
lost another round in his fight against
deportation as an undesirable alien
when the Federal District Court here
denied his plea for Il writ of habeas
corpus through which he sought to
block Attorney General Biddles de-
portation order of last May.
The court held that the order was
issued after a fair hearing on sub
Stantial evidence and no error of law
occurred which operated to deprive
petitioner of due process of law or any
other constitutional rights" The court
also susie med the Congressional
amendment of the Deportation Act of
1910 which makes deportable member
ship in organizations advocating vio-
lent overthrow of the government.
Bridges was held to come within the
amendment through evidence given at
a hearing conducted in 194l by trial
examiner Charles b. Sears that he
was formerly member of the Com
munist Party and of the Marine Work
ers Industrial Union.

UNION PAINTER AND SONS
ALL IN NAVY, WOUNDED

Washington, ID. c. (lLNS). An un-
usual war record is that of Folsom o.
Ransom, member of Painters Local
$40, Brotherhood of Painters, Deco
rators and Paperhangers, of San
Pedro, California, and his two sons,
all three now serving in the L. S.
Navy, all wounded in various naval
engagements in the South Pacific, and
all now recuperating from their
wounds in naval hospitals in Northern
California.
Ransom saw his two boys enter the
Navy soon after Pearl Harbor, missed
them, SO found it convenient to follow
them into the service last summer
Folsom was transferred to active sea
duty after basic training. He is now
in hospital in San Francisco, a
casualty from one of the SolomonS
naval battles, recovering from shrap-
mel and bomb wounds.
The two Ransom boys We're also
wounded in previous South Pacific
naval battles, and like their dad, are
in a naval hospital in "A Northern

FACTORY MECHANICS ENLISTED
FOR ARMY AIR GROUND FORCES

Washington, d. c. ULNS). - The
knowledge which workers in American
warplane ctories have gained
through experience will help to keep
these planes in top7notch condition
from the time they leave the assembly
lines until they leave for the fighting
fronts. A factory-trained Army Air
Forces enlisted mechanic will ac-
company each plane to its operating
unit to provide that insurance, the
War Department has announced
A MECHANIC will accompany each
combat plane larger than a single
scatter to the point where it is pre-
pared for foreign service. He will act
as crew chief and general caretaker
and it will be his duty to see to it that
the plane is in Al condition when it
leaves his care
Before the airplane leaves the fac
tory the mechanic will make sure that
its equipment is complete or that it
carries a record of any items of which
it's short He will also be responsible
for providing handbooks and instruc
tions together with proper delivery
forms. If the plane is sent to a mod
tication center for changes to fit it for
IA particular theater or mission, the
mechanic will accompany it.

THE BIG FACTOR

THAT GOOD labor relations are an important
factor in the speed of building ships, is en-
phaszed in study Of five shipyards reported by
the Office of War Information.
The unions, by promoting worker-management
cooperation, have speeded up shpbuilding a lot
since the survey made. The Maritime Com
mission announces that the average construction
time of Liberty ships was cut to 52.6 days IN
January-an average gain of lOS days in year.
In January 1912 it took 241 days.
Representatives of the owl interviewed work
ers at their homes to get irst-hand line on con-
ditions of employment, and the conclusion is given
that the output of yard is reflected by the sort
of relationship existing between management and
employees.
The most common complaint shared by a
maority Of workers is found in poor housing,
transportation difficulties, and inadequate eating
facilities at or near the plants. But, the report
adds, bad community conditions of living do not
alone mean low morale within a plant. Where
methods of operations are maintained that yield
good earnings and the men are encouraged to
understand that they are substantial element
in the production of ships it helps materially to
overcome the handcapS imposed in living in an
overcroWded production center.
And what is true in the Ship-building industry
is true also, in other industrieS-and in times OF
peace as well as war Employers who show dis
position to meet their employees half way rarely
if ever, have Labor trouble

A BILL TO MAKE REQUESTS FOR HIGHER
WAGES A CRIME

\ BILL THAT carries extreme dangers for the
4 rights of workers in the Hobbs Bills now be-
fore Congress to make organized labor subject to
the so-called anti-racketeering statute. The bill
is particularly dangerous because it seems reason
able enough that labor should not be permitted to
racketeer and to persons who do not know the
facts that seems all that the Hobbs Bill would do.
But the wording of the anti-racketeering statute
is so wide that actually demands for increased
wages, if the employer feared or testified that he
feared, that there might be strike if he refused
to concede them, could be made subject to ten
years imprisonment.
For the anti-racketeering statute reads that
anyone who in connection with interstate COM
merce Obtains or attempts to obtain by the use
or attempts to threats to use force, violence
or coercion, the payment of money or other valu-
able considerations is guilty of violation OF the
law and may be subject to ten years in Jail or
S10,0OO.O0 fine or both.
If you read that carefully you will see the
joker in it from the point of view of labor and of
anyone who wants organized labor to keep the
right to function at ALL For the statute says that
anyone who threatens to use coercion to obtain
the payment of money is guilty. Higher wages of
course constitute the payment of money. Unless
the employer takes the initiative in offering in
creased wages you have to put some pressure on
him and that is coercion If the employer says he
was afraid of strike and if strike might inter
fere with his business or his profits, and all strikes
do that to some extent then there is coercion. If
there was merely the possibility OF a strike lurk-
ing in the background or present in the employers
thoughts and consideration as possible penalty
for failure to reach some agreement through the
process Of collective bargaining then there is the
threat Of coercion.
Thus the union official or the union members
who acted on the collective bargaining committee
or who called or participated in STRIKE or who
the employer thought would call or participate in
a strike, would be guilty of coercion or threat
to use coercion to obtain money, that is higher
pay. Nor would strike or collective bargaining
in which the possibility of strike was in the
background be legal merely because it was not
over the question of higher pay. For the phrase
"other valuable considerations" takes care of that
Thus organized labor could not function at all
1t is not too much to say that that is the pur-
pose of some hackers of the BILL both in Congress
feeling which has been worked up by men like
Westbrook Pegler and Captain Rickenbacker tc
destroy labor organizations.

A PRAYER FOR COURAGE TODAY
(From The Federal Council


n GOD, Who ruest the world from end to end
and from everlasting to everlasting; speak to
our hearts when courage fails, and men faint for
fear, and the love of many grows cold, and there
is distress of the nations upon earth Keep us
resolute and steadfast in the things that cannot
be shaken, aboundng in hope and knowing that
our labor is not in vain in Thee Restore our faith
in the omnipotence of good, renew in us the love
which never faileth; and make us to lift up our
eyes and behold, beyond the things which are seen
and temporal, the things which are unseen and
eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

WAGE POLICY

by NOW WE all know wages don't mean much
~ by themselves. What we get depends as much
on price control rationing and taxation as it does
on wage rates.
So, to show it's vocabulary, the board said, "the
wage policy of the nation must be an integral part
of the entire economic stabiliZation program and
then paused for breath.
In other words, the most important thing is to
keep wages and prices on speaking terms, SO they
don't chase each other to crazy inflation--and to
get universal rationing effective price control and
a fair tax program, so everyone can get enough
to eat and so the war can be financed without
making war workers anemc.

DANGEROUS LABOR LEGISLATION

A N ANIl-LABOR law submitted to the Georgia
L Legislature and frankly called an anti-strike
law, gives point to the American Federation of
Labors warning that flood of state anti-labor
acts threatens the labor movement and national
unity and security
The Georgia proposal is only one of a number.
Hardly day passes without reports from state
capitals telling of similar proposals - many so
drastic as to be grotesquely absurd in this day
and age. Yet they continue to be proposed and
there is no sign of let-up.
Evidently organized labor has a big job ahead
of 1.-THE job of showing the nation the danger
Gus character of much of the proposed legislation
dealing with labor activities. The proposals are
creating a serious situation, they might easily
lead to loss of faith and confidence among the
great masses Of the people--a loss which newt
ably be reflected in declining war production.
Labor is out this year to double the war pro-
duction of 1912. But as AFL President Green
says:
'We are confident we can attain this goal,
which is vital to victory, if the freedoms of Amer
lean workers are not restricted and if hands of
the trade unions that represent them are not tied
by vicious legislation"

There probably are some millions OF
persons who do not know that Walter
Winchell and Drew Pearson on the one
hand and the Blue Network on the
other, have been engaged in somewhat
of knockdown and drag out battle.
Issue: The right to say certain
things over the air, those certain
things having to do with the records of
certain men in public life.
1t is reported that the 80 trials for
alleged seditiOn were involved in the
affair.
Drew Pearson announced in his Sun
day broadcast that the matter had
been adjusted to his satisfaction, indi-
eating that the Blue Network had
acted rather handsomely in the final
adjustment.
Here we have a really important
matter. 1t deserves to have front page
space in every newspaper in the land,
with statement of the exact issue and
of the exact terms of settlement.
Involved is the highly important
matter of now much the public can
know about what.
We have censorship. 1t is neces-
sary. But how much is to be censored
is determined by the censor and by
nobody else.
1t is probable that we have as good
and sensible censorship as we could
well have.
But no censorship can be right all
the time. All censorship is likely, al
most sure, to be stupid some of the
time.
Our censor probably would agree
with that statement, too.
X X X
That being so, it follows that there
will be disputes. In some of these dis
putes the censor will be wrong.
Many think he was wrong, not to
say dull and stupid, in refusing to let
stories pass that would let Britain
know that we still do have something
of race problem in this country.
That Winchell and Pearson have
| won out in their dispute indicates that
| someone with poised iron hand was
wrong also.
The right to criticize is highly i'm
portant. 1t is one of the most impOr-
tant rights we have.
TO lose it would throw us back to
the days when the accusation Of lese
| ma jesty could send man to the gal
| lows or the guillOtine.
1t is important that Americans be
| free to criticize Martin Dies, or Sum-
ner HattOn or Sumner Wells, or even
Cordel Hull. Well, let's include Con-
gresswoman Luce also.
Mrs. Roosevelt had sentence or
two clipped from her stories cabled
from London, but those sentences dealt
with locations, with military facts.
Military facts are one thing; criti-
cal opinions are something else.
We must not be brought to a situa-
ton in which we can only paraphrase
the man who challenged, well, you
can't arrest me for what l think"
The America to which we are loyal
the America which we love and for
which we are united in history's most
colossal struggle, is an America in
which every person has had Il right
to call down his representatives in
office and to bawl the living hell out
of them if he felt like it.
When we can't bawl them out they
will do too much of what THEY want
them to do. So grows tyranny.-CMW.

RIDING
AT ANCHOR
MIR. MODESTUS

Ancient Egypt moved her blocks of
stone by sheer man-pOwer-
Horsepower was scant, and wheels
little known.
But Egypt could not cut stone with
human finger-nails-
Iron was still rare, and steel thing
unknown
Unless in Damascus they might have
begun it's discovery.
But up in the hills of Sinai were
beautiful blue stones
Turquoise gems lay hidden in clay
and the rain uncovered them.
When queens valued them for their
beauty
Merchants went to find more of
them
Their slaves dug into the hills
Impatient of the slow erosions of the
seasons.
Digging caves into the gem-laden
clay
Those miners came upon another
substance.
1t could be melted in the fire
1t was soft under the hammer
But beaten long enough, it became
tough and hard.
pittsburgh engineers made the same
discovery, later).
From this metal, which came to be
called. copper
They fashioned tools for digging
Chisels for cutting and carving
stone
And weapons for war.
Mixing it, by accident, with an i'm
purity called tin
They had a harder alloy, bronze
And this they used for many things.
All of this happened 400 years ago
And thereby Egypt came into the
possession of chisels for cutting stone.
The blue color of the turquoise, seep-
ing through the clay
Came from the copper, released by
natural acids.
You can find it, unshaded, in the
crystal of blue vitriol-
But it took long years to unlock that
secret.
A similar story of the opening of
copper beds
Came from the hills of Armenia and
Cappadocia.
There the merchants who traded
with Babylon went
n,t
part of the price
Smiles of beautiful women, Il pol-
tion of their reward.
Centuries later, those who later
came to be known as the Greeks
Found high up in the Cypriote hills
in the isle of Cyprus
Other beds of clay, with nuggets and
pockets of metal.
Near the shores of Il great lake
clear across the world
Other tribes We're levering out OF
their beds great slags of copper.
Long before the white man touched
the shores of Nantucket
Earlier than the narrower wander

Contemporaries of the Mayan scien

These early American miners an(
mechanics practiced their arts
Leaving traces there which have re

These people knew of gold

Until the Spaniards long after

TIME FOR CAPTAIN EDDIE TO PIPE DOWN

(APIAlN Eddie RlckenDackef continues MS
~ ill-tempered attacks on organized labor. Just
why he assumes this unhappy role we do not know
and hesitate to indulge in speculation, because we
would like to continue to think that Captain Rick
enbacker is an honest man and not an unscrupu-
lous propagandist.
No trade unionst need apologize for what the
labor movement has done during this war emer-
gency
Practically all our war activities are dependent
on the skill and devotion of the members of our
various labor unions. At this moment, they are
producing more munitions than all the Axis cOun-
tries put together, and they will soon be turning
out more than all our allies and all our enemies
combined.
In 1912 the number of days lost in war in
dustlies because of strikes tOtaled six days for
each 10000 days worked. That was accomplished
without compulsion of any kind.
During the same year, only one man IN every
1000 was absent from his job in any given day.
That figure is supplied by Gerard ID. Reilly, mem
Der of the National Labor Relations Board, and,
therefore, in position to get the exact facts
Labor unions, practically without exception,
are constantly endeavorng to improve that record:
Captain Rickenbacker suggests that he could
better it by the simple process of removing our
soldiers from the foxholes Of Guadacanal to the
factories of the United States"
Such a declaration is unworthy OF any sane
man. The men who are fighting at Guadalcanal
and on other fronts are the sons and brothers of
the men who are laborng in American factories
Both are doing grand job!
For Captain Rickenbacker, anyone ese to
treat those who the home front as un-
worthy slackers, who would betray their brothers
in uniform is so unfair that it is difficult to dis
cuss the matter with reasonable restraint. We
still hope the Captain will assume more worthy
attitude
In the meantime, it is gratifying to have
Undersecretary Of War Robert p. Patterson an
nounce that Captain Rickenbacker is speaking "as
an Individual and not as an army officer" Under
secretary Patterson has repeatedly testified to the
splendid work being done by American trade
unonists in every branch of the war effort. AS he
is in daily touch with the situation, he is in much
better position to present the facts than is Cap
tain Rickenbacker
