BY UNITED PRESS

With less than 100 acci-
dental deaths reported dur
ing the Memorial Day week
end, the nation appeared
Monday to be setting a new holi-
day safety record.
The death toll for the three-day

at 78, compared with $50 killed dur
ing the Memorial Day observance
last year. Only 38 persons this year
were killed in traffic accidents.
Twelce drowned and % were killed
in miscellaneous accidents.
LIGHT TOLL
Reports indicated that tie death
toll for Monday would be e:,cep-
tionally light, because hundreds of
thousands of persons who ordinar-
lily would observe the holiday were
at work in war plants.
Detroit, Mich, reported no traffic
deaths, an unusual record for the
nations peacetime automobile cap
ital.
California, as in previous years,
headed the list with eight killed in
traffic accidents. Illinois was sec
ond with five, and Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Kentucky reported
four each.

The overwhelming majority Of
Americans, Hillman declared, will
support such program II they
are presented with 1t.
TREMENDOUS TASK
There Is a tremendous and stu
pendous task facing u.s." Hillman
declared. I'VE have 10 reverse the
trend, because too many Of our
people have become self-satisfied,
have become indifferent. Too many
don't understand what Is at stake
In this year OF decision that we are
coming to in 1914.

will have the power to make the
peace or ratify the peace, and

pened after the last war. We still
have the isolati0nists among MS.

to Hillman and members Of his
committee "every possible degree
Of support, not merely by lip serv-
Ice but by hard work"
The convention called for q
broad front involving all unions

committed to the fight against
fascism and TO the establishment
after the war of economies that
will assure the common people
freedom and an abundance Of the
material goods of life.
The convention turned thumbs
down on formation now Of a third
party as a means Of achieving this
goal.
HILLMAN PRAISED
Feature speech on political &C.
ton came from Hillman, who was
widely praised afterwards by dele
gates for the fortnight manner In
which he dealt with problems in
volving the unity of many forces
for the attainment Of major goals
vital to victory.
Today" Hillman told the con-
vention, "our task Is to mobilize
the power of these 100000 men
and women organized In our in
dustrial organizations and to
make them gathering point for
all the progressive forces. to give
battle to the forces of reaction.
"Our first task Is to see that
this war Ia won I'm decisive
manner, resulting in the utter
and crushing defeat Of the Axis
powers.
1--WE must make it quite clear"
he added, "that the peace to be
arrived ut must he a peace of no
compromise, not merely with Hit
lerism but with any Of the fascist
forces, here or abroad.
1--WE have to organize for 1t. The
conference In Moscow should give
encouragement to those who give
up easily or who say It Is impos-
sible to get unity between all Of
our democratic forces here and
abroad"
Discussing the peace, Hillman
warned that after the last war
politicians made promises by the
basketball, but people still went
hungry. What, he asked, Is going
to happen to the 25.000.000 men and
women in our war production in
dustries and to the returning serv-
icemen when victory is won?
Declaring that he felt the CLIO
should not rely alone on any
ones promises, Hillman called

electric co-operatives authority to
use materials now on hand to extend

production.
This was disclosed yesterday by

who is here to arrange for the or
ganizations national convention next
week.
Just today we received word from
WPB ofncial that co-operattves
can make use OF new and used ma
terials with which to extend their
service" he said. I'VE expect 10000
farms now without central power
house electricity to be connected to
cooperative lines each month for
the next six months. The electricity
will be used to increase production
of food for the war program"
All material these co-operatives
had on hand was frozen by a WPB
order last July.

Mr.. Grew said he is often asked
II there are any decent elements in
Japan we can deal with in the fu-
ture. Eyes, am happy to say" Mr..
Grew answered. There is large
group of Christians there and some
leaders in government and business
who have no fundamental hatred
toward u.s. But during the war
Japan will be united against us;
they do not permit criticism of their
government"
Among those listening to the noted
career diplomat was his daughter.

this country three days ago from
