Labor Is Leading
The Way
BY L E r.
Pres. Local 8O4,

In greeting the seventh Labor
Day since the forming of our
local union, we are greeting a
wartime Labor Day, with many
of our members actively engaged
in the armed forces. We who
are left behind to furnish the
sinews of war for our union
brothers and sisters, have a double
duty to perform, and a double
responsibility to face.
It is now impossible to toss our
jobs aside for a weekend pleas
ure trip. Friday evening no long
err means the end of the work
week. Your union, too, must act
in all of our negotiations, bearing
in mind the responsibility of our
members who are fighting another
battle. Every union member is
charged with the prevention of
corporated greed, disguised as eff
ficiency and profits, from repeat
ing the program of 1918-1919, to-
wards u soldiers of this a
This can be best done at the
polls when the ranks of labor
gather together to eliminate the
representatives and senators who
slid into office and are fighting
such a battle to lose both the war
and the peace. Not only does the
ranks of labor fight the battle of
production and produce all of the
materials of war, but labor leads
the world in giving and in fight
ing.
Labor has sacrificed many of
the rights that we have always
considered essential to the we'll
being of the membership in peace
time and we may be called to sac
rifice more before the war is won.
In this way we can best show that
we stand solidly behind those
Local 804 members who are fight
ing for us. But lest we forget,
those very men left a strong and
protective union, and they will
expect just such an organization
when they return. We must re-
main strong SO that we may re-
claim every right that we have
laid aside for the duration. I am
confident that the membership of
Local 8O4 shall not fail their duty!

announcement to make to the
membership at an early meeting.
This is the first Labor Day that
the employees of the Dayton
Power and Light Company have
had the pleasure and opportunity
to extend their fraternal greetings
to the great CIO movement in
Montgomery County. The mem
bers of Local ITS, UWOC-C1O
are fully in accord with the policy
of CLIO as exemplified by the
Montgomery County CIO Council
and wish to extend their fraternal
solidarity to the other CLIO locals
and their membership in this vi
cinity. Fully realizing that the
responsibility of the continuance
of the war effort in this COM
munity depends upon the contin-
uity of gas, electric and steam
service to the public and to the
many manufacturing concerns
which are busily engaged in man
ufacturing the implements of war
necessary to defeat the enemies of
our country, Local ITS, notwith-
standing the fact that the person.
mel of the company has been
greatly depleted because of the
war, is determined to keep these
services up to their regular stand
ard and increase them if possible.
However, Local ITS realizes, also,
the responsibility of the company
in the matter and expects the
Z same cooperation from it in ne
gotiating the contract and in
formulating and continuing a pol

"Starry-eyed dreamers" is the
most commonly used label coined
in a frantic effort to belittle clear
thinking Americans like Wendell
Willkie and Henry A. Wallace,
who with supreme moral courage
solemnly warn there can be no per-
manent peace unless it be based
on the unequivable acceptance by
all nations of the doctrine of hui
man brotherhood.
THE REAL DREAMERS
In reality, the 'starry-eyed
dreamers' are those who stupidity
fail to see the hand writing on the
wall; that the day of the rugged
individualist is rapidly nearing an
end; that the era of imperialism
and the white mans burden of CO.
lonial exploitation and racial SUBJ
jugation must either disappear, or
| it will be the breeding ground for
a worldwide conflagration, more
bloody and more disastrous than
anything ever before seen.

clearly indicated in a pamphlet

Personnel officers reconsidered
and offered to let the old man be

gued the point until he was finally
assigned to a labor crew.

"A stay of execution has been
granted by the U. S. Supreme
Court to Curtis Robinson and
Henry Daniels, Jr., convicted and
sentenced to death in Mobile, Ala
bama. Motion for the stay OF eX-
ecution was presented by DR..

Charged with raping white
woman in August, 1941, Robinson
and Daniels were indicted by a
Mobile grand jury. They were con-
victed and sentenced to death by
the circuit court of Mobile, Ala.
Daniels and Robinson were con-
victed as result of confessions made
by them. The record shows that the
confessions were secured by vio-
lence on the part of police officers.
The stay of execution was granted
so that attorneys for the defense
may have time TO prepare writ
of certiorari.

SEEK THE TRUTH
Unlike the reactionaries, who
only sheer and smear, these men
and women believe there is some
thing fundamentally wrong with a
world civilization that produces
two catastrophes within the brief
span of a generation. Recognizing
that there is cancerouS sore
somewhere, they proceed in the eff
fort TO find it and to remove it.
In every speech carried in
the Owls new publication
there is general agreement as
to what that sore which burst
into World War III was. 1t was,
all of the spokesman recorded,
the failure to accord political
and economic justice to all of
the worlds peoples, the fail
ure to accept the christian
teaching of universal brother
hood.
Out of fragments of experience
in this war we already are learning
that we have a responsibility to
other peoples no matter how far
away they may be; and if this war
should be lost it would be because
of the inadequacy of our past con-
cept and practice of brotherhood"
asserts Raymond Gram Swing.
'And if it is won it puts us on the
highway to the practice of brother
hood, on a scale surprising the
dreams of the past.
WAR FOR BROTHERHOOD
"We are seeing that what we
need, if we are TO survive as free
peoples, is not less but more free
dom. We are beginning to perceive
that we cannot remain free behind
our oceans and coasts while free
dom is denied to nations and races
anywhere on the planet. So it is
truth that must be a war of the
people for all peoples, a war for
the establishment of brotherhood. -
And Governor StaSsen de-
clares: This new level of gov
eminent must emphasize hui
man rights rather than ma
tons rights. Its cornerstone

Hardly. To the contrary, they
