The list of delinquent property
owners has been prepared, for publ
cation within three weeks. Bosch and

Signatures On Petitions
Found Invalid

Middletown, Ohio. With more
than so per cent of the signatures of
some of the light plant petitions al
ready declared invalid due to failure
Of signers to designate their full ad-
dresses and voting precincts, any
chance of forcing an election on the
issue has virtually vanished.
City officials, who are to check the
names with election record, said Tues
day night that one petition containing
784 names, more than $50 had been
removed in the preliminary check.
They estimated that on the remaining
petitions, removals averaged from
rs to SO per cent of the total number
of signers.

War Workers Bad Living Conditions
In Overcrowded Centers Declared
Endangering Peak Production
Efficiency Lowered Due to Adverse Living Conditions In
Some War Production Centers; Alienation of
Condition Means Better Output of Material

New York City (ILNS).-Peak
production of war materials is jeop-
ardized by bad living conditions of
workers in overcrowded war industry
areas, Earl M. Dinger of the Indus
trial Committee, Department of Field
Operations, United Service Organiza-
tions, declared here.
Dinger said that USO, at the time
of it's formation, agreed to supply
emergency services to war industry
workers wherever requested by the
government. "In addition to supply
ing such services at many USO
clubs" he added, "USO representa-
tives help communities to organize
self-supporting citizens councils S
among the workers who put on their
own recreational and social programs.
"A worker in war plant can't do
his best at machine if he's worried
about the bad housing and health con-
ditions of his wife and children, living
in a boom town whose poplation has
jucped from $500 to 10000 in two
years.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-02-05

Miami (ILNS) THE A m meri c n
Federation of Labor was warmly
praised for it's work in war production
and construction, in a letter from
Robert P. Patterson, Undersecretary
of War, to President William Green
of the federation.
Planes, weapons and other war
equipment are performing splendid
ly in BATTLE" the Undersecretary told
Green, in greeting the executive coun-
ell, as it ended the first weeks ses-
sions of it's winter meeting.
After extending his greetings to the
council members and expressing his
wishes for a successful meeting, Pat
tersOn said
Through you, the Army congratu-
lates the millions of members of the
federation on the important contribu-
tion they are making to the cause of
a United Nations victory.
"The planes, weapons, radio equip
ment and other manufactured prod
ucts American Federation of Labor
workers are building are performing
spendidly i'm battle. The machine tools
and parts which you produce for the
factory front are no less invaluable.
Other AFL Work Laudeds
''The Army is especially grateful to
those members of the federation who
helped US to rush to completion the
barracks, hangers, arsenals and fac
tories without which we could not
have trained our troops and made our
munitions. In a like manner, your
members who are engaged in trans
portation and warehonsing have
helped us to speed supplies to the
fronts and to our allies.
mo history of the present con-
fiict could be written without ade-
quate mention of labor's impor-
tance in tipping the scales of mil
itary power.
ACCORDING TO ulSpaJcn IIoH
Guadalcanal, enemy bombing on our
positions always ceases after the ar
rival of your P-38 Lightning planes.
Reason to Be Proud"

ployes in Allegheny County war
plants have formed Ia citizens coun-
cils in IL defense housing projects.

less output of weapons. In helping to
alleviate conditions in such areas,
USO may indirectly do its part in
furnishing weapons to our forces and
our allies throughout the world"
