 The agreement with the presi- dent was that all labor disputes be settled for the duration of war by Q trt-partite War Labor board. Now we find that wage disputes involving gross ineQuities and manifest injus- ticeS apparently cannot be settled by the trl-partite war labor board In which labor, industry and the pub. lio have Q vote"
 The occasion for the members outhurSt was their special cencur- ring opinion" in the boards first wage decision since the issuance of the executive ortler-involving the Universal Atlas Cement CO, Uni- versal, Pa, where workers struck yesterday in protest against the ver- dict.

 The fact Is that we believe the order is neither sound in conStruc- ton nor workable in practice. To the contrary, we believe that a Mt- eral interpretation and application of the order will work manifest in- justice upon American labor and in- duStFy and be detrimental to the war effort"
 The WLB has received hundreds Of telegrams from unions condemn ing the presidents ban on inequality cases, CIO leaders and broad mem- bers discussed the order with WLB Chairman William H. Davis and StabiliEation Director James '. ByrneS yesterday.
 Davis was said to have contended that the board Is required to fulflll the literal terms of the order, Byrnes told CIO officials that the order must Do Eieidly complied with.

striving to bring about the victory
which will realize this Christmas
hope of future peace These thoughts
are in my mind as I send greetings
not only to our troops. but to the
thousands of civilians who are striv-
ing in the military establishments,
which provide arms and ammunition
for the front. Whatever and wher-
ever allowance your station I know
that you are performing with a
soldierly devotion the duties to
which you have been assigned, and
at this Christmas season I wish to
express to you my deep apprecia-
ton.
In the theatres of war our troops
have accepted hardships and sacri-
fices with q fortitude which recog-
niZes that these are the necessary
price of victory. Your deeds on
the battle fields have been an in
spiration to the millions of your
countrymen To supply the love
which your family and friends holds
ful you has been added the gratitude
of the nation. This spirit send to
you in my greetings. Throughout
America the lights of Christmas are
burning brightly in remembrance of
you and pray your return. God
grant that your hands may be
strengthened to hasten that day of
final victory. Upon you and your
comrades in arms, the world de-
ponds for the restoration of Christ

The Past Ten
Years

just ten years ago an amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States was repealed. A free and an
articulate people had spoken its
piece. And SO that ''ignoble" expert
ment of a democratic people was
written off, as an accountant would
say, with loss" For we did lose
something. We lost, temporarily,
that most precious of all things that
civilized man has striven for since
long before the Magma Charta :.

Individual; respect for constitutional
authority. just turn back to the
chapter in our history that deals
with the prohibition period. See the
scars" that illustrate it's pages. Not
long ago they were still livid; now
they are paled by the healing inf1u-
ence of time. But they are still vivid
in the memory of those of US who
lived, perhaps precariously, through
that period. Not a pleasant picture,
in retrospect.
Now we are again at WAR. Now
we really are fighting with every
ounce of our resources and our man.
hood and womanhood-to continue
our way of life-our right to think
and talk and worship as we please
--our right as individuals. So that it
can't happen again, let US visit,
mentally, the chamber of horrors
of the prohibition period. Let US
compare that period with "the last
ten years"
Ten years ago the Alcoholic
Beverage Industry began provid-
ing much needed revenue for our
government which reached a point
where its total was second only to
the National Income Tax! Ten years
ago the Alcoholic Beverage Industry
began providing work for thousands
in its own industry and in related
industries-when there were twelve
million to fifteen million jobless in
America, willing and anxious to work.
Ten years ago the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Industry began providing a
market for millions of bushels of
surplus grain for which there was no
market; when crops were being
plowed under, and when farmers
were paid for not raising instead of
raising normally revenue producing
foodstuffs. And, ten years ago, the
Alcoholic Beverage Industry began
the construction of new plants
and the rehabilitation of old ones
which were literally converted "over-
night" to the making of precious
alcohol for wartime purposes when
the emergency arose. Not drop of
whiskey is being made today by any
legal American distillery. The whis-
key which is now being voluntarily
rationed to the trade. and in many
places by the trade to the consumer
i. was made in peacetime. THE
PAST TEN YEARS! Think of the
preceding ten years years of pro-
hibition which did not prohibit.

'ARMEDF0R(ES
AREME55ACED
ON CHRISTMAS
President, Marshall, Slim
son Send Out Sincere
yuIetide Greetings

Four messages. two from the Presi-
dent of the United States to the
men of the armed force. and also
one to the sick and wounded in
hospitals:a third from Gen. George
c. Marshall to the troops in gar
rison and in the field, and fourth
from Secretary of War Henry L..
Stimson we're given out on Christ
mas.
The Presidents message to the
men and women was as follows:
Two years ago Americans OBJ
served Christmas in the first dark
hours of a global war. BY sacrifices
and courage and stern devotion to
duty, you accepted the challenge
boldly. You have met and overcome
a determined enemy on the land. on
the sea, and in the air. Fighting
with skill and bravery you have
already destroyed his dreams of con-
quest This Christmas, l feel sense
of deep humility before the great
courage of the men and women of
our armed forces. AS your Com
mander- in Chief l send you my
greeting with pride in your heroic
accomplishments. For you, the Ma
tons prayers will be raised on
Christmas Day Through you, at
last the peace of Christmas will be
restored to this land in our certain
victory"
The message by the President to
the i'll or wounded fighters follows
"On behalf of grateful nation /
welcome the privilege of sending you
Christmas good wishes. The I'M
complaining gallantry of our AM
erican soldiers and sailors in his
quiet patient battle against illness
and aching wounds, is no less epic
than his uncomprising gallantry in
his more widely heralded fight
against the Axis. We cannot wish
you a Merry Christmas. We can
salute you-and we do. We can
pray-and we do: May God speed
your recovery"
Marshalls Message
Gen. Marshall, Chief of Staff, U.
S. Army, gave the following message
to the armed forces:
Christmas this year finds our
Army deployed in greatly increased
strength, throughout the world an
Army of battle tested veterans. Vic
tories, some of them great victories,
are constantly being won in the air,
ON the ground, and over the beaches
of the Aleutians, the far Pacific,
and the Mediterranean. German in
dustries and cities are being pounded
[ to a pulp The Germans and jap
ianese air forces are being bled white
with rapidly accommodating losses.
However, despite the fighting or diff
ficulties, the task however tragic,
the loss of fine young American
lives, our enemies are suffering far
more severely and suffering impend-
ing defeat and destruction.
"All America is filled with pride
in the feats of the Army The troops
at home inspired by what has been
done in the field, are impatient to
get into the fighting Every resource
