ANY BONDS TODAY?

When a nation gets in trouble it is
always the common people who come
to the front with what is needed for
its salvation In England's darkest
hour-heavy bombing and Dunkirk-
it was the so-called lower class work
ing people who had the CUTS to thumb
their noses at Hitler, and their coun-
try was safe.
In this Second War Bond campaign
our nation is asking for more money
with which to pay for materials need
ed to carry on this war against the
axis. Unheard-of amounts of cash
must be raised to keep our soldiers
equipped to defeat the enemy. Com
pared with other crises the figures are
astronomical.
With payroll deductions of 10 per-
cent or more already the general rule
it was not expected that laboring peo-
pie could spare more cash. But the re-
sponse to the appeal Of the govern
ment has-to quote radio program
-stumped the experts. Our working
people, and especially trade unions,
have come through with phenomenal
purchases of bonds.
If Hitler or anyone else believes he
can defeat a people with a spirit so
indomitable, insanity is the only ex-
planation. There can be no question
that both Roosevelt and Churchill
have their people behind them.

TWO NOTABLE STRUCTURES

Is there, built out of the long story
of the past, some special Towering of
the humanities, some slightly larger
outpouring of compassion, in our
Jewish unions than is found else
where?
Whether that may be or may not
be, it is worth noting and noting well
that in London there is a fine building
which houses a club for British
merchant seamen, donated by the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers.
A tablet on the facade states modest
ly, Erected by the ILGWU."
Somewhere near Chungking, China,
structure soon will arise, to bear a
tablet with a similarly modest in
scription. The money, up to 100000,
has been made and accepted. David
Dubinsky made the offer. Nine. Chi
ang Kai-Shek accepted.

Lands TELLS FARMERS

James M. Lands, director of the
Office of Civilian Defense, says farm
ers can solve their manpower prob
lens by appealing to organized labor.
In many parts of the country, he says,
union members have swung into ac-
tion after regular working hours, to
help neighboring farmers harvest
crops.
Civilian Defense" Lands says,
"has found in organized labor some
of its best volunteer workers. If
properly appealed to they will work
on nearby farms weekends or in the
late afternoon and early evenings" !"
Mr.. Lands has the record of the
work of members of trade unions in
civilian defense, and he knows what
he is talking about. Organized labor
has not only enlisted for civilian de-
fense warden service, public works
service, decentralization service, but
in many instances has provided funds
to purchase equipment for wardens
The Central Labor Union in Wash
ington, D. c., went even further and
has raised more than 100000, with
which has been purchased civilian de-
fense equipment of many kinds, blood
banks have been established in local
hospitals, police scout cars equipped
with ambulance units, and other ex-
pensive hospital equipment installed.

THAT NEW BILL OF RIGHTS

1t was on March 10 that President
Roosevelt presented to Congress a
proposed new bill of rights.
1t was composed of economic meas
ures.
Immediately the looking backward
crowd howled to high heaven. To rub
it in they took away the little money
needed by the National Resources
Planning Board, which reported the
suggestions to the President.
What seems not to dawn upon re-
actionaries is the simple yet tremend-
Gus fact that security after this war
for anybody, including reactionaries,
is going to depend upon security for
the masses of the nations men and
women.
They might think that over.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

CEVERAL weeks ago tanker con-
y structed by Henry Kaiser broke
in two and sank in it's mooring dock.
Investigation by the Truman commit
tee disclosed the break was due to de-
fective plates supplied by the Car
negie- Illinois plant of U. S. Steel
Government officials have promised
prosecutions will be undertaken, but
to date no suit has been started. The
War Production Board, however, has
recommended that government in
spectors at steel plants not be "too
Jealous" in detecting flaws, which
should help lot.
Over in Baltimore last week 20
year-old welder, accused of perform
ing defective work in an effort to in
crease his output and piecework
earnings, was given 18-month Jail
sentence, and 10 others have been in
dicted for similar sabotage.
Seems to be something screwy here,
when a giant trust can supply defec-
tive material for war purposes and
get away with it, and workmen on
piecework go to Jail.
Recent Manpower Commission rul-
ings which attempt to freeze" work
ing man and women on their present
jobs will seriously affect morale,
lower individual effort and arouse re-
sentiment among the industrial work
ers of the nation" declares William
Green, president of the AFL, who
knows something about workers.
About the same time the Austin
Wadsworth work or-fght" bill was
before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, and one of its strongest
supporters was Admiral Emory S,
Land, head of the Maritime Commits
sion.

miral once proposed shooting union

organizers and has said he sees no
difference between sending an Ameri-
can into the armed forces to fight and
sending him into factory to increase
profits for the owner.
The McNutt ruling proposes to
freeze workers and wages, in spite of
the fact that nothing has been done to
"hold the line" on retail prices, which
results in constantly increasing cost
of living for the worker.
AS Eric Peterson, of the Machinists
Union says, McNutt's edict would
bring the workers Of this country
close to the level of slave labor.
Damon Runyon, who writes a syn
dicated letter for the NY Mirror and
other papers, not only refuses to join
his colleagues in smearing labor, but
in his column last week riddled most
of the false accusations against the
nations workers and charged that
war workers "are the most abused
class in the United States today"
The shortcomings of few, he said,
have been magnified until they are ac-
cepted by most newspaper readers as
typical, even though the record proves
our workers have produced to a point
unsurpassed in the history of the
world.
Absenteeism, which Rickenbacker
and others have been paid for con-
demning, Runyan says, has been exag-
gerated far beyond the truth. "After
ALL" he says, Service men get fur
loughs and even from the fighting
fronts"
And high wages? Many men, he
says, would be glad to chuck their
jobs and join the service.
"The sum total left in the hands of
the war worker is often not as great
as that which remains to the man in
the service"

THE
! CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
J the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, Sometimes fippantly, some
times recklessly.
- THE =

One of the most amazing features
of our present situation, relative to
the relations between civilians and
service men, is the big campaign of
unions and one big cigarette company
to get smokes to the fighting men
abroad.
That this column should be written
about a business concern may seem
queer But any effort that contributes
to the welfare of our men abroad as
generously as this one does, is en-
titled to be talked about, regardless
of who may be involved.
So, let us discuss for these few
minutes the job which has been
undertaken by the Brown & Will
hanson Tobacco Company, of
Louisville, where Blue Grass ira
ditions continue among amiable
and friendly people.
The cigarettes go to the service
for them, but at very low price.
Already millions of cigarettes have
been shipped abroad through the
unique proposal made by the COM
pany.
On moderately large orders the
cigarettes cost the unions here about
four and one-half cents a pack. Imag-
inc thati
Remember, these cigarettes
Raleighs are union made, as
of course are all of the company's
products.
Unions that contribute $25 for the
purchase of 500 packs get their
smokes at five cents pack.
But great many unions are con-
tributing $3.50, which buys 5000
packs. In every case of an order that
large the company itself donates 500
additional packs free. That's what
brings the cost down to four and one
half cents per pack.
A greeting card goes into every
carton of ten packs and on every pack
the company sticks little label Civ
ing the name and number of the local
union which made the purchase.
There probably isn't town of any
size in the whole country that hasn't
sent away quantity of Raleighs for
service men through this generous ar
rangement.
AS matter of fact, it might
be nice idea to write a letter
to T. V. Hartnett, president of
the company, at Louisville, to let
him know that union men appre-
ciate his company's kind of gen.
erosity.
If there be some cramped soul who
thinks that out of this great distribu-
tion of Raleighs lot of new Raleigh
smokers will come into existence, let's
hope he's right.
Those who know the officers of the
company and who know it's policies
will know that the company is doing
this magnificent job because it be-
lieves here is an opportunity to per-
form service for our fighting men.

Company was union concern when
it was small.

Jackpot Johnny
Must Stay On Job

Wichita, Kans. (ILNS). - Cessna
Aircraft Company, in both its Wichita
and Hutchinson plants, has a scheme
that really keeps Johnny on the job,
to win the jackpot.
The company, which operates under
contracts with the international As
sociation of Machinists, has a novel
drawing plan, intended to cut down
absenteeism.
Each week the badge number OF
every hourly paid employe is put IN
hopper and number drawn. The win
ner draws a $3.50 prize, providing he
has not been absent during the pre-
ceding week.
If the winner has been absent one
day the prize money goes back into
the hopper for next weeks drawing.

George Cooper, who then was presi-
dent, agreed with the late Wood Ak
ton that it was right to operate a
union shop = and that is the real rea-
son why the company has for so
many, many years been a union shop
in every single job.
Mr.. Cooper's associates, who are to-
day the active men, agreed with him
and they are sincere in their policy
today That calls for reciprocal
friendship.
Perhaps that is one reason why the
company's business has grown stead
lily, until it has become one of the
great tobacco manufacturing firms of
the world with three union labels
on every pack and box.
Greetings to this fine firm - and
maybe YOUR union would like to join
it in sending free cigarettes to men
in the service abroad. Why not ?
