/ LONDON, Oct. 30.-The Moscow
conference plunged Berlin into rest
less anxiety today.
Nazi propagandists relayed Swed-
ish reports that the Allies had Civ
en- Russia a fixed date" and all de-
tails for launching a major front in
Western Europe.
Betraying the Nazis' deep uneasi-
ness over the dangers etched for
them in President Roosevelt's dis
closure that the conference was sue
ceeding, Berlin sounded this gen.
eral line:
The United States and Britain
have been compelled to yield to all
demands of Moscow" and lost their
grip on exiled governments by Civ
ing up their insstence on independ-
ence of small European states after
the war. From this, it was argued,
Germany would gain new follow
ers."
Gained Soviet Favor
Quoting Stockholm's Svenska Dag
bladet, one Nazi broadcast said
England and America made a de-
tailed proposition to the Soviet
Union regarding a second front
with a fixed date" and thus gained
the favor of the Soviet negotiators. "
A second conclusion reached at
the meeting las a result of the COM
plant attitude, which was surpris-
ingly shown by the Soviet govern
ment," was on postwar reconstruct
ton in Russia with Allied aid, this
report added. =

announcement was hailed as setting

Former Triumph Head
Receives $1,000 Fine
And 3-Year Sentence
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 30.-Federal
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut today
sentenced Gustav H. Kann, former
president of Triumph Explosives,
Inc, to serve three years In prison
and imposed a $4,000 fine on charges
OF using the mails to defraud stock
holders of the Elkton (Md) firm.
Notice Of appeal was filed i'm
mediately by Kann's counsel, and
the Pittsburgh businessman was re-
leased under $4,000 bail.
Judge Chestnut fined five other
Triumph officials who had pleaded
no contest to the fraud charge and
placed themselves on the courts
mercy. Sentence of Joseph Ben
Decker, former vice president and
general manager, was postponed be-
cause of illness.
Previously Convicted.
The prosecution charged that
Kann and the other six defendants
organized subsidiary known as the
Elk Mills Loading Corp. solely for
the purpose of siphoning off profits
that should have gone to Triumph
and its stockholders.
Kann and Decker previously had
been convicted of another charge
of mail fraud. The Government
charged them with misappropriat-
ing $84 900 in company funds. Kann
was sentenced to three years and
fined $1,000 on this charge, but was
placed on probation when he re-
turned 1000 to the company. On
this charge, Decker was given a
three-year prison term and fined
$4,000, but was released pending
an appeal.
Other Fines Levied.
Decker and William L. Kann, IT,,
John J. Prial, Victor G.. Willis, Sid
ney G. Feldman and Arthur Deibert,
who pleaded no contest in the later
trial, were accused of receiving
salaries and bonuses from Elk Mills
without performing real services.
Feldman was fined 50 900 and Del
bert, Willis, Prial and Kann were
fined $1,000 each.
Kann has testified that triumph
received large profits from Elk Mills
and that it would not have been
abel to accept a big Government
explosives contract without forming
the subsidiary.

1t added that British Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden had agreed in
principle to reconstruction OF the
Polish government in-eXile' to in
clude the Union of Polish Patriots "
in Moscow. This new government
would include only representatives
willing to cooperate with Commu-
nists" and would sit in Moscow,
Berlin added.
DNB said Germany had expected
that the Moscow conference would
set common policies, thus dashing
German hopes for differences of
opinion in the Allied camp The
major result of the meeting, it added
was "a fundamental Anglo-Ameri-
can capitulation to the political
claims of the Soviet Union" in eX-
change for more tolerant attitude
by Russia toward the present mill
tary aid of the Western Allies.

Drafting Committee
Shaping Agreement
AT Moscow Farley
BY EDDY GILMORE.

MOSCOW, Oct. 30.-Speeding to-
ward conclusion of the l1-day-old
rthree-power conference, Secretary
OF State Hull, Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden and Foreign Com
missar Vyacheslav Molotov met an
hour earlier than usual today in
what was described as a continued
high atmosphere of cordiality and
cooperation.
AS President Roosevelt disclosed
at his press conference in Wash
ington yesterday, the three Allied
representatives are understood to
have possibly put their signatures to
certain declarations which have
come before the conference and un-
aoubtedly will be made public later.
There still has been no announce
ment as to how much longer the
conference will last.
The drafting committee of Amer
lean, Russian and British experts
worked late again last night and
went back to their highly technical
job early today Numerous papers,
approved in principle by the three
foreign ministers, have passed
through their hands.
The delegates are beginning to
look tired, although Secretary Hull
does not show the strain particu-
larly. The Secretary has been care
full to conserve his strength, is
described as in fine health and
rises early each day. The nose
bleed which he suffered midway
through the conference has not
occurred since.
British Ambassador Sir Archibald
Clerk Kerr gave a cocktail party
today in honor of Mr.. Eden at the
British Embassy across the river
from the Kremlin. MI. Hull did
not attend but United States AM
hassador w. Averell Hartman and

Meanwhile, Muscovites learned
with satisfaction what they had
thought all the time-that the con-
ference, as President Roosevelt said,
was a tremendous success"
High optimism prevailed in Rus
sian as we'll as in British and
American quarters.
Slogans broadcast by the Moscow
radio warmly commended the Anglo
American land, sea and air fighting
IN Italy and aerial operations over
Western Germany.

President Roosevelts momen-
tous air flight to North Africa, is
a symbol of the offensive spirit,
and action which permeates the
United Nations today. From AZ
RIGA to Norway, from China to
Russia, from the fox holes of
Buna, to the mountains of New
Guinea the soldiers of de-
mocracy, and the enslaved people
of the dictator nations, are out to
smash forever the hideous sys-
tenn of Fascism.
Victory lies straight ahead, even
though the road is long and hard
and requires all our effort, our
faith, and our abilities, no matter
what our present assignment is,
in the nations about struggle.
Victory in 1913 looms ahead as a
definite possibility. Whether it will
be achieved or not will largely de-
pend upon us, and the support
we organize and furnish to the
various avenues leading towards
the highway of victory. These
avenues are war production, fund
raising through bond purchases,
and the overall legislative pro-
gram necessary for the mainten-
ance of our democratic institu-
tons.
Now that the offensive is under
way we must be on guard more
than ever before. The forces
friendly to the fascist or nazi sys-
tenn of life Il should say death),
realizing that unless this often
sive is stopped they will be
crushed into defeat, will become
more bold, will attempt every
means to disrupt the offensive, to
create disunity in the nation, by
striking at the key to success q.
war production. These enemies of
our country, whether in Congress,
or anywhere else, will endeavor
to lower the morale of every war
production worker by the passage
of anti-labor legislation, Or by
placing the largest burden of tax
alton on those least able to pay.
They will try to weaken, or rem
der useless the agencies of gov
eminent which have assisted labor
to conduct orderly collective bar
gaining. They will stall the pas
sage of effective legislation, such
as the Tolan bill, to improve the
planning Of war production.
They will attempt to create dis
unity in the labor movement, by
raising false issues, or discour-
aging our production and legis-
lative programs. These people,
whether a Congressman Dies, or
a small fish like Moran (Dels-
camp of Cleveland) are our enc
mics.
We must not be confused by
them. We have a job to do, and
we'll have to keep our eye on the
ball all the time, if the offensive
at home and abroad is to be Sue
cessful, and if victory is to be ours
in 1913.

Why You Should
Join Your Local Union

First, let us ask ourselves a few questions in the light of recent
developments and see if we have, as individuals, contributed anything
worthwhile to the bethrment of our fellow workers., o r to the COM
munny in which we live. Lastly, have I helped myself economically or
intellectually? Do I take a keen interest in State O National 1egis-
lation, which affect my living standard either directly o r indirectly?
Il the answer i in the negative, then, let us e who has.
, 1943-02-03

The fact that our living standard
is higher today than ever before,
taking rationing, wages, prices,
etc., into consideration, due to the
present emergency, is proof that
your Local Union, through its
duly elected representatives has
maintained your standing and
prestige on a level which is more
than compatible to that of pre-
war circumstances.
We see that lack of vision and
understanding and little know
ledge of decent human values have
seriously impaired our whole bust
ness life. It isn't that Labor is
trying to accomplish the impos-
sible, but is aspiring to things of
an economic nature which society
can well afford.
The question arises then, what
does the working man or woman
want? Can my Local Union make
possible the attainments of my
personal aspirations, including my
wife and family? Job happiness is
the belief on your part that this
is possible. BY this we mean, does
life begin for you when you punch
the clock in the morning, or when
you ring out at mite? IF the lat
ter-why?
It is quite obvious that workers
want a certain degree of content
ment in their work, they want
achievement, a sense of satisfac-
ton in a job well done-they
want recognition. These are basic
desires of decent self-respecting
human beings. There is no job
happiness for the worker unless it
exists according to his judgement
not that of the management.
Thus, we see hat since Big
Business having failed to provide
a solution to the question, the men
and women of industry have
turned to organization, Trade
Unionism, which protects you and
will have a powerful voice in post
war collaboration. We are firmly
convinced that the profit motive

few men salaries in the upper five

The Federal Court at Philadel-

The courts decision read "for i'm

and directors"
Late last fall a number of Of
ficials of the Marion Qnd.) plant
of huge, sprawling Anaconda
Wire & Gable Co. were indicted
on charges of defrauding and con-
spring to sell defective wire to
the United States and Soviet gov
ernments. Fully so per cent of the
wire shipped to Russia was de-
fective, said Soviet army officials,
and u. S. army officers said the
same estimate applied to wire
shipped to our American battle
fronts.
Now we learn that five more
executives, this time from Ana
conda's Pawtucket (R. ~ plant,
have just been indicted on pre-
cisely the same charges. Add to
this the Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey scandal over synthetic rubber
and other international patents;
Sterling Products drugs scandal;
General Electric's Carboloy scan
dial; Aluminium Corp. of Americas
scandal over bauxite shortages,
and a case of the greatest magni-
tude can be demonstrated.
Have the Tafts and the Dies, the
Peglers and the John Breiden-
bach ever been heard to open their
traps about filthy irregularities
such as these?
Nor have they, or others who
appear to be spokesman for the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, the American Farm Bur-
eau, the National Grange and the
United States Chamber of Com

of the enormous profits CATER

the war effort. And they have de-
liberately ignored, except when
pressed for a statement, any men
ton of the foul smelling cartel
arrangements between many of
the largest u. S. corporations and
the fascist-nazi industrialists, as
exposed by the Bone, Truman and
Tolan congressional committees
and the Department of Justice.
Apparently the Spokesman for
"America's ruling corporations and
the 10 ruling families" feel they
must divert public opinion from
the evils and irregularities of
their super-profit system. The
usual routine is to create a scape-
goat and focus all public atten-
ton on it, thus DETECTING atten-
ton from themselves. The trillion
watt smear spotlight is thrown
with full intensity on the CIO,
New Dealers, in fact, on all pro-

stringent, democratic limitations
on it. Students of mass psychology
