Seufurers' Union
WithdruWs From
Sed1ndn's S Service
Administration Costs Are
Too High Lundeberg
Tells Admiral Land

New York City ULNS). - With
drawal of the Seafarers' international
Union of North America, AFL, from
the United Seamen's Service was an
nounced by the American office of the
international Transport Workers Fed
Grafton, together with publication of a
letter by Harry Lundeberg, president
of the STU, to Admiral Land, chair
man of the U. S. Maritime Commits
sion, in which the enlarged scope and
the activities of the USS We're sharply
criticized.
Lundeberg is one of the charter
members and incorpOrators of the
USS, vice-president and member of
it's board of directors and finance COM
mittee.
In reviewing the activities of the
United Seamen'S Service since its in
ception, President Lundeberg charged
the organization with having gone
far beyond the purposes for which it
was intended" and operating on adj
ministratiye machinery (which costs
~" SSiitS Vul WI SNVlS N'llNStV't
and which leaves only 10 cents for the
seamen.'
Lundeberg also stated that plans
were afoot to change the USS from a
provisional wartime welfare agency
into permanent organization which
would be continued after the war.
This means broadening its scope to
such an extent as to completely alter
the character of the project. TO finance
this expansion, the sum of $7,OO,OOO
viii have to be raised from the general
public instead of the $2,0OO,OO0 Origi-
nally asked for" Lundeberg added
These and other charges We're
brought to the attention of the union
membership which instructed Presi-
dent Lundeberg to resign from the
board of directors and withdraw Off
cially from all USS activities.

PETER SALT RETIRES

, Five Delegates To Trades
And Labor Council

I hope all readers of the Herald
read the two very timely articles
which appeared in our last issue
headed "The Case VS. Labor Draft
and the editorial on THE Little Man
Who Isn't There" With all the talk
in Congress about Absenteeism in wal
factories and what legislation they
propose to introduce to combat such
an evil, it seems to me the proper
place for that memorable body to
start the ball rolling would be right
in there own back yard.
With war appropriation of several
billion dollars up for consideration,
siXty-seven Senators out of total of
ninety-six We're absent and 32S repre-
sentatives out of 435 were conspicu-
Gus by their absence.
Statistics reveal that the increase
in the cost of living since the Little
Steel Formula, was put into effect in
June, 1941, has been 34R per cent,
while the yardstick has been held at
the Is per cent level over the same
period for wage increases.
If this condition continues many of
MS will be forced to withdraw our ten
per cent deductions for War Bond
purchases, because there are certain
costs of living that are inescapable.
Every radio program is urging the
and that is as it should be, but how
are Il large number of harrasSed fam
lily providers going to subscribe to all
war appeals if their earnings simply
won't go round.
Give labor a fair chance and they
will back the government to the limit,
we are doing that now, and that is
why it is so important that the gov
Prnment agencies maintain the hign
morale of the American workers which
is in danger of being undermined, be-
cause of the ratiOning of almost every
important food supply made necessary,
by what many consider the ineXcns-
able restrictions in recent farm pro-
ductiOn that has brought about a short
age that should not and ought not to
be.

Red Cross Sets
War Fund Needs

With a goal of $125, 900, 600 for
its 1943 War Fund, the American
Red Cross will embark upon the
biggest campaign in its history on
March 1.
Millions of volunteers will be re-
cruited to assist in the nationwide
appeal, which will be conducted un-
der the direction of Walter S. Gift
for, president of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, who
is national chairman of the 1913
Red Cross War Fund.
In announcing the goal, set by
the Central Committee of the Amer
lean Red Cross, Chairman Norman
H. Davis said the figure represented
the minimum requirements of the
Red Cross if the organization is to
meet its wartime obligations.
''The goal'', Chairman Davis said,
lis based upon realistic estimates
which careful study shows are ac-
tually needed to meet the heavy
wartime obligations and RESPONSE
bilities of the Red Cross This sum
covers local, national and interna-
tional wartime needs of the organ
ization for one year barring unfor-
seen emergencies or disasters.
"Of the total goal, $45,O0O,O0O is
the sum required by Red Cross chap
tiers to finance their indispensable
needs and their ever-increasing local
work on behalf of families of men
in the service. The remainder or
$S0,000,000 will go to the national
organization which however, requir-
es one hundred million dollars to
finance it's national and information
al program. The difference will be
met by balance of $2O,0OO,OOO
from the first War Fund of 1912
which will be applied to the 1913
budget
Chairman Davis emphasized that
more than IS per cent of the amount
required by the national organiza-
ton has been budgeted for Red
Cross services to the armed forces.
With the approval of President
Roosevelt, March will be observed
as Red Cross Month in every city.
town and hamlet covered by the
$3.50 Red Cross chapters and their
6,154 branches. All walks of COM
munity life will be represented in
the campaign.
The customary Red Cross men,
bershib Roll Call was dispensed
with last November when the Red
Cross decided upon one campaign
in March which, barring emergen-
cies, will finance it's work until Feb
ruary %, 1914.

Winters Heaviest Snow

The heaviest snow of the winter
fell on Thursday of last week, and
this applies both to depth and
weight as the snow fall, variously
estimated at six to eight inches in
depth, was accompanied by sleet
and hail, and was like deep sand,
making travel, both on foot and
wheel, heavy, slippery and hazar-
dous going. Stalled autos and trucks
were a common sight, and numer-
GUS accidents are reported, as the
result of skidding

thaw set in converting the snow into
deep slush.

NEW AIR RAID
SIGNAL SYSTEM

There will be no more Air Raid
or Blackout drills throughout the
State until after February II, the
effective date of the new Alert
System recently proclaimed by the
Army for the Eastern Defense
Area, Colonel Henry S. Barrett an
nounced today.\
In the meantime the alarm system
now in use will remain effective and
any Alerts sounded during this per-
iod will be the heal thing" and
will mean that an actual hostile
raid is in progress.
The new Air Raid Signals as pro-
mulgated by General Hugh A. Drum
of the Eastern Defense Command,
to be effective midnight February
IT, are as follows:
1. A preliminary public warning
on the blue" consisting of steady
blast for approximately two minutes,
which means enemy planes are APP
preaching the area On this signal
there will be mobilization of the
Civilian Defense personnel and a
general Blackout All lights except
certain street lights and traffic sig
nails will be backed out. Pedestrians
and automobiles with headlights on
low beam may proceed.
2. An audible "red" signal con-
sisting of short basis on Air Raid
horns, whistles, or sirens meaning
that danger is imminent. On the
"red" all remaining light will be ex-
tinguished; traffic is to be halted
except for emergency vehicles and
all persons will take shelter
8. A second audible "blue" will
always follow the red, after dan
ger is passed, preparing the COM
munity to return to the conditions
of the "red' should the raiders re-
turn.
4. The 'all-clear" signal will be
broadcast by radio stations instead
of sustained blasts of the sirens.
After February II, Colonel Bar
rett announced, we will have Black
out Drills in order to familiarize
all of the people with the new Air
Raid Warnings.
