the unsung, anonymous millions
of working men and women whose
toll has made and kept America
a great nation.
In former years Labor Day has
been observed as a festive occas-
ion, with parades and gala cele-
brations. Yes, there have always
been serious speeches on Labor
| Day, but also a substantial meas
ure of merrymaking.
But in 1943, with a global war
in progress and our country and
her allies taking the offensive
against enemies both powerful and
cunning, Labor Day becomes a
day for more of dedication than of
celebration; a day for planning
and consolidation on ali the win
the War; forces for a speedy de-
feat of the Axis on the basis of
unconditional Surrender"
While there is speechmaking on
this Labor Day, as on Labor
Days in the past, we of American
labor are not contenting ourselves,
in September, '43, with mere
words. We know it is much too
late in the game for that. Instead,
we are, on this Labor Day, hurl-
ing our defiance at Hitler and
Co. in the form of bombs and
bullets"
American labor has but one
aim on this Labor Day. That aim
is simple but all-important-THE
WINNING OF THE WAR. No
American worker will ever slack
en- his efforts in striving for this
paramount objective. No Amer
lean worker will allow the do
mestic Fascists and Appeasers to
interfere with this objective,
whether they be in labor, indus
try or in our government. To as
sure a democratic victory-long
and hard though the road will be
before we can reach our destina-
tion-the American workers are
today truly performing miracles
in the shipyards, in the aircraft
factories, on war construction sites,
in the merchant marine and ev-
erywhere that work related to the
struggle is in progress.
With breath-taking rapidly la
Dor is rolling out the tools which
our fighting men, on land, at sea
and in the air must have IN
order that they may deliver the
final blow that will free the peo-
pie of the world from Fascist
enslavement.

Labor Day OF 40

are the teams that have taken the
toughest beatings-by margin of
8 to /.
about the Giants
While the Cardinals, Yankees and
Dodgers have only suffered slightly,
consider the case of the Giants.
On offense they have los! Johnny
Mize, Babe Young and Harry Dan
ming, about 80 per cent of their
punch not overlooking Willard
Marshall, a scoring hitter.
On the defensive side they have
lost David Koslo, Bob Carpenter and
Hal Schumacher, three of their best
pitchers.
If you add this up, you will find
that the Giants have lost seven vital
cogs in their machinery. The
Browns have lost almost as much
talent.
With the same war break the YAM
KEGS, Cardinals and Dodgers have
drawn, Giants and Browns would
now be neck and neck with the
leader. The teams that have been
luckiest in this respect are the Car
dinals, number one-the Yankees,
number two-the Dodgers, number
three-and the Cubs, number four.
They're "four-leaf clover" boys.
These four teams have had all the
better of the war situation. They
have suffered only minor casualties,
comparatively. They should be far
in front of the others at this spot.
I've talked with Horace Stoneham,
Giant president, and Mel OFT, Giant
manager.
Naturally, they have no squawks
to offer. They know the pick of
their flock has moved into war serv-
ice. This also is true of the Browns.
They know that with breaks similar
to their own, the Cardinals, Yankees
and Dodgers would be in trouble.
Suppose these three teams had
lost 80 per cent of their playing
strength, as the Giants and Browns
have done.
about the Pirates
In looking over the parade, no
one has turned out better job than
Frank Frisch of the Pirates.
Frisch had nothing like the ma
terial that belongs to the Cardinals,
Yankees or Dodgers.
But the old Flash from FOrdham
has had his hired men hustling from
the start.
He has been getting 100 per cent
from all the man power he had left.
Frisch has been squeezing blood
out of a turnip, and there is still
the chance that he may crowd into
second place. Just how anyone is
going to beat out the Cardinals calls
for miracle. Billy Southworth, one
of the best of all managers, still has
the best of the ballplayers and this
includes both leagues.

Sarazen's S Picks

Gene Sarazen recently obliged by
giving us his idea of an all-time
golf ranking from the United States.
"Well," he said, "here she goes
1. Wooden-club play-driver, bras
sic and spoon-Bobby Jones.
2. Long-irOn play-Byron Nelson,
with Hogan close.
3. Short-iron player-on pitches to
a green-Walter Hagen.
4. Best recoverer from trouble
Walter Hagen.
S. Best putter-HortOn Smith with
Jones Tin his prime) close.
6. Hardest battler-Ben Hogan.
"There you are," Gene said, "and
I've had to leave out some great
golfers
Among those he left out was fell
low named Sarazen, who on his
inspired days, was a star with every
club from driver to putter. There
has certainly been no greater bunk
er player.
From 1920 through $780," Sara
zen continued, there was no one
to match Bobby Jones' wooden-club
play. He was long and straight. He
was a fine brassie player and just
as good with a spoon. He could
pick his target a long way off and
usually nail it. His smooth, almost
slow, unhurried swing helped to give
him almost perfect timing"
''There have been many great
wooden-club players. Harry Var
don was one, but Harry belongs on
the British side while we are only
discussing home players. Byron
Nelson, Craig Wood and Tommy
Armour are also fine wooden-club
players. And don't forget Sammy
Snead. He belongs close to Bobby
Jones' side off the tee.
byron Nelson is the best long-iron
player / ever saw. He is one of the
few who has consistent control of
number one or number two iron
Henry Picard, Hogan and Snead
are also magnificent with this club"

SECRET ORDERS PROVED COSTLY
Convoy Sighted Japanese Fleet in HaWaiians Be-
 fore Pearl HarbOr

Turlock, Calif., Jan. 5. (UP)- Secret orders prevented an Amer ican convoy from warning Pearl Harbor authorities that ships which may have been the Japanese fleet, were approaching the Hawaiian Islands two days before the Pearl Harbor attack, an American seaman said today.
 In an interview approved by the oflce of censorship, Ivan Root, elec- trician'S mate 2nd class on the famed light cruiser Boise, told the Turlock, Calf, journal that he was on duty when the ships were ob- served.
 'Three unidentified ships were sighted during the night of Dec. 5 Q94D," Root said, deliberately staying away from Us. .. to prevent positive identification.
 "They didn't attack us and ap- peared to want nothing more than to remain unidentified"
 The American convoy, Root said, twas under secret orders" not to radio any messages which might have disclosed its whereabouts.
 Root said the convoy was "three or four days out of Pearl Harbor at the time the ships were sighted" Carrier bases planes could have been within flying range of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 2, two days later.

titions, each of which was appar- ently a spontaneous development.
 Many workers have complained that the new systenS which changed working hours by half-hour or an hour, made bus congestion worse than it had been before. There have been complaints of waits of half an hour or more. for busseS, and of inability to get seats.
 The petitions are being circulated in at least one department each of the Scoill Mvfg. CO, Chase Brass & Copper Go. and American Brass co.
 one scovill petition, being circu- lated on the second shift, asks that the afternoon shift run from 2:30 D. m. to 1O:30 p. m. instead of the present 3:30 D. m. to 11:30 p. m. This shift, until the plan went into effect. worked from 3 to il p. m. Such a change would, of course, that other shifts would have to be correspondingly adjusted.
 The stagger plan and Ntts success are being carefully studied by L. T. Scott Smith, local administrator for the Ofice of Defense Transporta- tion. It has been generally admit ted that abnormal weather condt- tions have hampered the operation of the plan since 1t went into effect.
 The plan was adopted after sev- eral months of study and prepara- tion by the committee on transpor- tation of the Waterbury Defense Council. Factories cooperated by taking part in the study and by agreeing to the changes in their schedules that the committee asked.

New Victory Tax
 Raises Questions

credit of 25 per cent of the amount of the victory tax, married per- son 40 per cent, and each depend- ent two per cent. However, a single persons credit may not exceed $500, married persons $1,000, and a de- pendent's $100.
 o. Does the taxpayer have to wait until after the war to get the post war credit? A. No. He may take it when he files his regular in- come tax return for 1943-on March IS, 1914. The amount of the post war credit which may be used that way will be based upon the amounts of his payments for life insurance premiums. repayment of debts, and purchases of some types of war bonds.
 For example, if a married per- sons victory tax amounted to $100, he could reduce that liability by 40 40 per cent or by $40 if he had paid out that much or more. during the year for life insurance, his home mortgage, or for the purchase of war bonds. But if he preferred, he could pay the full amount of his victory tax and become entitled to a credit of $40 after the war.
 How will 8 post war credit,
 saved until the war ends, be paid?
 A. It will be credited against
 any taxes then due. and any bal-
 ance would be paid immediately
 to the taxpayer by the govern
 ment.
 @. Does the taxpayer have to file a separate return for the victory tax? A. No, it will be computed on the regular income tax return.
 o. How will an employe know just how much has been deducted from his pay during the year for victory tax purposes? A. His enn- ployer will give him a receipt on a special internal revenue form stat ing the amount withheld. The em- ployer will forward similar form to the collector of internal revenue reporting the amount deducted.

GA On Canned Goods
 Rationing In February

Washington, Jan. 5 - (UP) - Questions arising from government plans to ration canned and process ed goods beginning some time in February, and answers thereto fol. low:
 o. Why does the government ra- tion all of the listed canned foods together? A. If only the canned foods that are most scarce were ra- toned, consumers would rush to buy the unrationed foods which could be used instead. This would create shortages of the alternate foods, which would then have to be rationed after the supply had been seriously depleted.
 Q. What foods are included in the new ratiOning program? A. Canned bottled and frozen fruits and vegetables, fruit and vege- table juices, dried fruits, and all canned soups. These are known as "prOcessed" foods.
 o. Just what is a processeG food? A. A proceSsed food is one that has been preserved so that ii will keep as long as it stays in its processed condition. Canned foods for example, keep as long as they remain sealed; frozen foods as long as they remain frozen.
 o. Are jams, jellies, and mar smalades included: A. No. These are not generally used inter- changeably with canned fruits.
 o. Why are foods that are no used extensively included in the ra tioning program? A. To preserv for consumers as wide 8 choice O. foods as possible in spending thei ration points.
 Q. Is evapOrated milk included in the new ratiOning program? A. No, canned milk is not being ratiOned in this program. o. What do the numbers on thu ration stamps mean? A. Int numbers on the stamps 6 5, 2 anc D show how much the stamp is worth in points"
 Q. What is a point? A. A point is 8 ration value much as dollars and cents are money values. RatiOned foods have both point and money values.
 @. Why are the stamps of dif- ferent colors? A. The blue stamps will be used for rationing processed foods; the red stamps will be used later for meat rationing.
 Q. What do the letters on the stamps mean? A. The letters on the stamps will be used by the office of price administration to designate the time during which stamp is valid. For example, stamps Iettered A, B, and c could be designated for use during the first ration period.

Today was the deadline for filing of conversion forms for buildings which use 10000 gallons or more of fuel oil a year. Late forms were flowing into the fuel oil panel of the local war price and ration board, but 1t still appeared that there would be a number of violators.
 On the form, owners or managers of the buildings affected must show that they have already converted oil burning furnaces to the use of coal or are making sincere effort to do SO. Among those affected by the order are churches, schools, public buildings, office buildings, one hos pital and many more.
 Meantime another order was re- ceived which may have wide effects. It clamps down on firms using oil for processing, and directs that they begin the use of some other fuel.
