All three of these developments
come close on the heels of eXclu-
siVe NEA Service dispatches, first
printed in this newspaper a few
days ago, disclosing that the six
top AFL and CIO peace negotiators
had tackled a secret paragraph onto
their much -heralded unity agree
ment of Dec. 2, guaranteeing each
side protection Of its legal rights.
This under the-table agreement
was interpreted by the CiO to be
guarantee of its rights under
the Wagner act to continue
membership organization drives
and TO refuse AFL offers to
negotiate a no-raiding agreement.
Bringing out into the open this
now believed to have facilitated
solution of not only the Kaiser
iurisdiciionai battle itself, but of
ali similar disputes interfering
with the war production effort.
Kaiser sees today real opDor-
tunity to adjust the labor situation
u the war effort. He has as
surances from CIO President Phil
Murray, AFL Metal Trades Leader
John P. Frey and NLRB repre-
sentatives themselves that they
all want to improve the present bad
situation
Kaiser is approaching the prob
lem with his typical sit can be
done attitude He says he can re-
port progress in these negotiations,
and he wouldn't be making state
ments about it if he did not see
hope for settlement within a few
weeks.

IANGlER-Ihe falI OF MUS
solinl and the disintegration OF
Fascism in Italy have left the
government OF Spain completely
unruffled
Observers abroad have reck-
oned that the big event IN Italy
must be very discouraglng
omen for the regime of Dictator
Francisco Franco. Actually, the
impact on Franco Of Mussolini S
fall is exactly the reverse. Not
icing the results OF the Italian
policy, the outcome now Is re-
garded in Spain as proof OF the
Spanish leaderships wisdom.
With Italy now battle
ground and Spain untrampled,
any forecast of parallel be-
tween the fall Of MuSsolini and
an equivalent upset OF Franco
completely disappears.
There is parallel, however,
between this and other miscon-
ceptions of Francois security.
The munarchISt movement. for
instance, much drsmatized from
alar, takes on quite different
complexion within the country
as we'll as here in Morocco,
long regarded abroad as mon
arChistic hotbed.
NO REVOLT IN PROSPECT
Taboo in Spain are direct
quotations from army men, but
I'M talks with monarchist leaders
.u and out OF the army, this
conclusion is clear, The So
called, prospective revolt of
the generals VIII not occur.
That much IS sure The monar-
chiSt movement IN which the
generals are featured is not an
antI-Franco movement.
I'm all Spain there is not
more strongly declared monar-
ChiSt than Franco himself. He
never has represented his own
position as 4 political pinnacle.
and he always has proclaimed
that he is only preparing the
homeland for the monarchy 10
which he subscribed from the
beginning In Spanish official
dom, the monarchist issue really
is not disputed in principle, and
the often-r reported challenges of
tho generals is oVer-simplifica-
ton in the sense that they are
dramatizod as throwing down

ASK CONGRESS TO
OK. RAIL PAY HIKE

Washington, D. CA joint resolu-
tion putting Congress on record as
approving an increase of eight cents
an hour in the pay of more than a
million incorporating railroad en-
ployes was introduced by Senator
Truman of Missouri.
Meanwhile, George M. Harrison,
President of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Clerks, announced he will take
the fight of these railroad workers for
fair deal directly to the people in an
appeal to be broadcast over the AFL
Labor For Victory" program on
Sunday, Nov. Ia at Ills pm, E.W.T.
While the railroad employees are
now engaged in taking nationwide
strike vote, their union officials en-
phasized that strike is the last thing
the loyal railroad workers of the
country want.
The pay of the incorporating rail
way workers is now on the average
81 cents an hour less than that of
workers in other industries doing
similar jobs.
More than year ago the railway
workers asked for 20 cents an hour
wage increase. The dispute, under
the provisions of the Railway Labor
Act, was referred by President Roose-
welt to special commission which
recommended an eight cents an hour
increase and held that this adjustment
would not be infiationary.
President Roosevelt then appealed
to the union leaders to accept this
award, which they finally did with
some reluctance on the assurance that
an effort also would be made to start
overtime pay for railway workers
after 40 hours a week, instead of 48
hours as at present.
Then, with startling suddenness
came an announcement from Eco
nomic Sterilization Director Vinson
that he had vetoed the eight cents an
hour increase.
This shocking action caused rail
road workers to wonder aloud 'who is
President of the United States?" I'm
able to set aside Vinson's decree, they
finally decided to take a strike vote
which is calculated to demonstrate to
the nation how the railroad workers
feel about the unjust way they have
been treated.

TRANSPORTATION FACING
HARDEST SIX MONTHS

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-The
next six months probably will prove
the most critical of the war for trans
portation, the Office of Defense Trans
portation has warned representatives
of major shipping and carrier organi-
cations.
Action to step up the utilization of
existing rail equipment by at least
10 percent is being urged, in a drive
to get even more work out of the
country's transportation facilities, "to
keep up the splendid record made thus
far"
For the first time since the war
started, ODT points out, the railroads
are going into winter with virtually
no margin of unused capacity. They
will be called on to handle more and
more export traffic and petroleum,
coal and ore movements (which show
no sign of easing up"
An industry committee set up to
work out means of improving utiliza-
tion will concentrate on program to
speed up loading, unloading and
cleaning of cars, reduce switching
time and speed up freight movements.

BUY and USE Christmas Seals

tuberculosis is far from being un-
der control in the United States. Since
1904 the disease has moved from first
cause of death to seventh, and the
death rate has been cut rs per cent.
In spite of this, tuberculosis killed
$4,000 people in this country last year
and it is still the greatest disease
killer of persons between Is and as.
To these tragic figures is added the
fact that this country is now threat
ened by a wartime rise in tuberculosis.
War, with it's overwork, strain,
anxiety, and overcrowded living and
working conditions, creates condi-
tions which foster breakdowns with
tuberculosis and it's spread from the
sick to the well. The whole country
faces the need of intensified tubercu-
losis control programs
One of the most important weapons
in the war against tuberculosis is the
X-ray A chest X-ray is a part of the
medical examination of all men be-
fore induction into military service.
This step protects our armed forces
from tuberculosis, which in World
War | cost our government approx
mately a billion dollars in compensa-
ton, vocational training, insurance,
and disqualification for disabled vet
Grams.
The 1943 Christmas Seal will go on
sale November %, as the means of
raising funds to support the work of
the SO county wide tuberculosis and
health associations in Ohio affiliated
with the Ohio Public Health Associa-
ton. The Seal Sale is held in conjunc-
tion with the nationwide sale and will
continue until Christmas.
This year, for the first time, the
Seal of the American tuberculosis as
sociations is being used by the ma
tional tuberculosis organizations of
England, Canada, Mexico and Brazil
to raise funds for their respective
campaigns against the disease. The
use of the identical Christmas Seal
by five of the United Nations is par
ticularly significant in the face of the
wartime rise in tuberculosis that is
occurring in many parts of the world.

81 wonder if you people back home

But the other day our outfit got sepa-
rated from its supplies and for few
days - during some pretty tough
going-we were without smokes. Then
came the supplies and mail and doz-
ems of cartons of union-made butts.
But best of all was card saying they

WAR RELIEF IN HUMAN TERMS

A million is round, satisfying fig
ure. When it is multiplied by 125 to
equal the SIZE, 100000 that the AFL
is helping to raise for the National
War Fund through the Labor League
for Human Rights, it promises relief
to our allies abroad, aid to social serv-
ices on the home front, support to
organizations such as the USO, serv-
ing our armed forces.
Most of us think of the National
War Fund campaign in these broad
terms, as a series of large-scale prof.
ects in thousands of cities and towns
all over the world. Reduce the cam
paign to its essentials, however, and
it becomes an American contributing
the dollars that will send one London
child to an orphan home, one Chinese
worker through the enemy lines into
free China, one carton of cigarettes
to an American soldier under fire at
a fighting front.
A million is meaningless figure to
that orphan, that Chinese worker,
that American soldier. But that car
ton of cigarettes is real, and here is
