10000 Canadians
Are Affected By
Job-Switch Ruling
Seven Industries Placed Or
Non-Essentiulist; More
Will Follow

Ottawa, Ont.-The first group of
businesses and occupations in which
workers of military age are made
liable for compulsory transfer into war
production work was announced last
week.
More than 10000 male workers are
covered in an order issued by Labor
Minister Humphrey Mitchell. Similar
dealings with other non-essential bust
nesses and occupations will be put out
every two or three weeks until all the
100000 draft-age men available for
compulsory transfer are covered. 1t is
estimated 10000 of this total will
eventually be switched into work more
useful for war purposes.
The 10000 embraced in this order
must report not later than May ID to
the nearest employment and selective
service officer. Where essential employ
ment for which they are suited is
available they will be directed to such
jobs. If there is no higher priority
work Immediately available the worker
will be given a special permit to CON
tinue on temporary basis in his old
employment.
TO Fill Labor Shortages
Those compulsory transferred are to
fill the basic labor shortages in farm
ing, mining, logging and shipbuildinS
in addition to local shortages in air.
craft, munitions and score of other
diversified plants with priority ratings
Employees of seven industries or es
Establishments are subject to transfer
under this order These are tavernS OF
liquor, wine and beer stores; retail
books, news and stationery; barber
shops and beauty parlors, retail ant
wholesale florists, gasolne-filling sta
tiOnS, retail sale of motor vehicles OF
accessories, and retail sale of sporting
goods or musical Instruments.
In the case of hotels and other busi
nesSes which present difficulties j
classified as Il whole, the order alst
lists several lines of occupations Il
non essential rather than the establish
mentS themselves.
Where men are in low medica
categorieS their health and physical
condition will be taken into account
before they are shifted to other jobs
The order covers "Single men" o.
military age from 10 to 40 years ant
married men from 10 to % years founl
medically unfit for military service
1t also covers those called up" wh'
are in good physical condition but VIII,
have been given defelments.
For the present no married man
even if married after July 10, 1910
will be required to accept employment
which would mean Il change of resi-
dence Workers objecting to transfer
will have Il right of appeal to ii cour
of reference

CIO Union Heurs
Attack On Lewis
Head Of Textile Workers
Score Coal Stoppdge As
900 Delegates Meet

An attack on John l.. Lewis, preSi-
dent of the United Mine Workers, and
plea for continuation of the New
Deal in 1914 marked an address by
Emil Rieve, president of the Textile
Workers Union of America, at the
opening of it's biennial convention in
New York.
The 900 delegates of the affiliate of
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions represented membership of
100000 in thirty-three States They
adopted unanimously resolution Op-
posing the Connally anti-strike bill and
sent 80 kilograms to Representatives
in Washington in protest.
Mr.. Rieve recalled that he was, with
Mr.. Lewis, member of the labor
group that, with representatives of
of management and the public, worked
Labor Board and that organized labor
had pledged unbroken production for
the war.
No justification Seen
Nothing has happened which should
cause labor to deviate from that pledge
one iota," Mr.. Rieve declared NO
matter how much coal operators had
sought to take advantage of the stu
alton in their hope of destroying the
solidarity of the miners, there is no
justification for the complete stoppage
of production.
II can only express my feelings by
repeating the pledge made by the Tex
tile Workers Union of America at the
outbreak of hostilities, that no matter
what the provocaion, we will keep pro-
duction going. The textile workers of
this nation are willing to make what
ever sacrifices are necessary to speed
the victory over faSciSm and its Japa-
nese allies"

LET'S FEED OUR ARMY
BEST; BUT MUST SCARCE
FOOD GO TO WASTE?

Washington, ID. G. ULNS). - Your
wife goes to the corner grocery with
her ration stamps and money but is
unable to get what she wants for her
(and your dinner.
The store has no beef, no potatoes,
no canned soup, no sugar. She takes
what she can get, anl~you eat it and
like it.
The Office of War Information says
we can expect to tighten our belts and
eat less and less of less and less OK
we can do it to win this war
But an army officer tells the Senate
War Investigating Committee that 2U
per cent of the food served by the
army is wasted; and they purchase
for 5000, 900 men.
We ordinary citizens, unqueStion
ably, are being deprived of food Meat
potatoes, canned goods, sugar, coffee
is almost unobtainable Where il is?
If vast quantities of food served tC
our men in military services is
"waSted' to the amount of 20 per cent
there along is enough to more ade
qualely feed Il lot of civilians.
But that is not the complete story
1t was testified that of the food pre-
pared for men in the armed service
80 per cent is thrown out, 3S per cent
of vegetables and 33 per cent OF
cereals.
We civilians are prepared to endure
any hardship in order to assure oul
fighting men sufficient food and muni
tions to overcome the enemy. But are
we prepared to have our soldiers
throw away the food we need to pro
duce munitions. After all, we must be
able to keep them supplied.
This testimony brings up the queS
lion: Has the army overbought ant
thus caused II shortage of civilian
supply? How else can we explain tn,
vacant shelves in our supcrmarkcts?
And if the army has on hand NOR,
food than the army needs, why shou,
civilians 90 hungry?
