Boss Takes Workers Side:
COMPANY OFFICIALS
URGES WLB TO RAISE
EMPLOYEES PAY

Washington, D. C. ILNS).-The
usual procedure was reversed when
Samuel W. Rolph, president of
the Electric Storage Battery Co., of
Philadelphia appeared before the
War Labor Board at hearing on
wage increases for the company's
1920 employees.
Instead of opposing the wage in
crease, Rolph took the mems side,
saying:
'"They feel they have money coming
to them and wonder why they have
not received it." He added that for
once in his life he had enjoyed labor
negotiation and that the workers
needed relief
The employees are requesting 5
cents an hour increase for all en-
ployes and other upward revisions for
certain JOB classifications.
In two other cases the board or
dered a wage increase sought by the
Federation of Wooden and Worsted
Workers, AFL, but denied it any form
of union security in a contract with
six Boston wool warehouses; refused
request for pay raise which would
restore workers in a Michigan city to
the level paid before conversion of the
.,,a,, ,,,n,ly
In refusing union security in the
Boston case the board upheld its ref
cree, f. S. Diebler, who ruled the en-
ployes had violated labor's pledge not
to strike for the duration of the war.
Roger d. Lapham and George K.
Bait, industry members, dissented III
the decision which approved an in
crease of 31z cents an hour to bring
the rates of the six companies in line
with those of the majority Of wool
warehouses in that area.
The employees union Of w. j. Jar
Wis Co., Grand Rapids, Mich, was re-
fused an increase designed to restore
wages to their former level, on the
grounds that its $50 workers are paid
substantially higher than others IN
the area doing the same work.

Chicago (ILNS).-A nationwide
drive against off-the-job accidents,
which last year deprived America s
wartime industries of enough man.
hours of work to have built $500
heavy bombers, has been launched by
the National Safety Council.
The campaign is aimed at reduction
of accidents that occur to workers
after they leave work-in their homes,
in traffic and in other places. 1t is a
major part of the councils wartime
emergency program to "Save Man
power for Warpower," now under way
at the request of President Roosevelt.
Last year $4,000 workers were
killed in off -the-iob accidents, as
compared with 1880 killed at
work. Of 100000 nonfatal in
juries to workers, 2,350,000 oc-

CALLS BRING MEAT.
c. of C

CALLS BRING MEAT. A prime
example of the effectiveness of a
Chamber of Commerce in handling
community problems was seen during
the recent meat shortage in Hamil-
ton. The Hamilton Chamber of Com
merce, through its secretary manager,
C. L. Hardin, joined forces with the
Hamilton Retail Grocers and Meat
Dealers association, represented by
Fred Stitsinger, to focus attention and
action of governmental agencies on
the need for meat supply in Hamil-
ton. Telephone calls and wires
brought OPA investigators here.
Their reports brought permission for
packers to send "quota-free" meat to
empty Hamilton markets. Thus, the
Hamilton Chamber of Commerce
once again Identifies itself as a cen
trail moving force for good within the
community.

Washington, ID. C. ILNS) Big
shipbuilding companies were favored
by Government officials at the expense
of the Higgins Corporation plant at
New Orleans, it is charged in an
American Federation of Labor report,
made last fall but kept secret until
revealed in Congress.
Joseph W. Powell, Special Assist
ant 70 Secretary of the Navy Knox,
was chiefly responsible for cancella-
tion of the Higgins Corporation con-
tract, the AFL report declared. The
report has just been made public by
Senator George d. Aiken of Vermont,
with the permission Of President Will
liam Green of the AFL Aiken said
that copy of the report, made last
Nov 8, was sent to the White House,
where it was kept locked up.
In addition to Powell, the AFL re-
port criticized Rear Admiral Emory
S. Land, chairman of the U. S. Mari
time Commission and Rear Admiral
Howard L. Vickery, vice-chairman as
also favoring the big shipbuilders.
Three Men Accused
After the Maritime Commission
last summer cancelled the Higgins
contract for construction of 200 Lib
erty ships after considerable work
and money had been spent en- ship
yards at the Higgins plant, the AFL
ordered an inquiry, conducted under
the direction of Charles j Margiotti,
former Attorney General Of Pennsyl-
vania
"This committee finds" said the re-
port, that the cancellation of the
Higgins contracts did not occur be-
cause of a shortage of steel nor be-
cause of any other of the collateral
reasons given by the Maritime Com
mission. The only and real reasons for
the cancellation were: (a) favoritism
toward existing conventional ship
yards, many owned by large compan-
les; (b) fear of competition that
would result from mass production
through unique assembly line meth
DDS in shipbuilding, and (c) unjusti
fed personal animosity toward A. j.
Higgins, Sr" (head Of the company.
"The actions of Admiral Emory S.
Land and Howard l.. Vickery, mem
bers of the Maritime Commission,
ard Joseph w. Powell, Special Assist
ant to the Secretary of the Navy, have
been so detrimental to the general
welfare of our country and our war
effort, that this committee recon-
mends that such action be taken
against these men as the fact and cir
cumstances warrant"

Look Who's Here
Coles In Person

Joseph Coles. a former employee
OF the City Elections Commission
and now with the Office of Price
was in Detroit
Monday where he explained the
citizens responsibility OF enforcing
OPA price regulations.
Coles said that policing OF local
communities is left with citizens
whose responsibility it is to en-
force price regulations and report
violators 10 local authorities. On a
recent visit to Cleveland. he said
he found that Negroes are doing a
GOOD job Of enforcing price rules.
IN that city Coles pointed out, Ne
rroes have accepted policing of
their communities as a personal re-
possibility and as a result reports
Of violations have shown a marked
decrease in recent weeks
In Coles opinion there are
enough organizations in Detroit to
individual responsibility
of enforcing existing OPA rules. He
said that il is almost impossible
for government workers TO track
down and punish vioators without
the aid Of the everyday shopper"

Warns OfThreat
To Democracy

The axe OF Mayor Jeffries' official
condemnation has fallen upon the
nccks OF two groups OF citizens, the
working people and the Negroes.
Why?
Because they went 10 the polls
in the recent primaries, along with
many thousands OF others and voted
overwhelmingly against Jeffries.
These citizens performed an
American duty in the American
way. They exercised their right
TO cast a ballot for the candidate
whom they believed best qualified
to serve them as Mayor during the
next two crucial years.
That they voted for me and
against Jeffries is, for the moment
beside the point. OF immensely
greater importance is the fact that
these citizens are made to suffer
the condemnation OF their chief ex-
ecutive because they performed
their duty.
The cars Of old and the Hitlers
OF today have welded such 'des-
potism over human beings. In this
country, it constitutes a fragrant
assault upon our American princi-
piles Of free government. 1t strikes
at the roots of democracy.
II it is the working man and
woman and the Negro who must
feel the edge of the Jeffries axe to-
day. upon whom will it fall tomor-
row?
Good citizens In general might
well ask themselves this question,
in view OF Jeffries tyrannical out
burst. If he brands one person a
member Of a "gangster minority
those are his words because
that person voted against him. then
all others who voted likewise can
be so branded. under Jeffries policy
Today. it is the working man and
the Negro.
Tomorrow. will IL be the Pole. the
Italian. the Jew. the Hungarian, the
Rumanian, or any one Of the many
other minority groups which make
up the cosmopolitan population OF
Detroit?
SO far as I know, this is the first
time in Detroit's history that large
section Of the population has been
Labelled with the "gangster"" mark
by their own mayor. simply because
they wanted no more Of him in the
executive office, and voted accord
inCly. as was their duty.
And remember this =.
or the 100000 people who voted
in the primaries. two-thirds OF them
voted against Jeffries.
Are all Of them members OF
"gangster minorities" simply be-
cause they cast ballot in accord
ance with the dictates Of their con-
science?
To people OF all groups in De-
troit, say this:
Take solemn warning from this
un-American attack by Mayor JEFF
fries.
For II Is the working man and
the Negro who feel the Jeffries' axe
