Sweden To Halt New Nuzi
Plan To Send Forced
Labor To Finldnd

Stockholm (lLNS). = According to
information from Oslo that since the
plans of Vidkun Quisling, German
named Premier of Norway, to send be-
tween 500 and 600 young Norwegian
men across Sweden to forced labor in
the Finnish forests, were stopped by
the refusal of the Swedish Foreign
Office to issue transit visas to such
groups an alternative plan to secure
the transit will be attempted The
Swedish press published details of the
plan which calls for individual appli
cations for Swedish transit viSas.
1t is pointed out that it will be much
more difficult for the Swedish authori-
ties to learn if such applications are
voluntary or forced, but instructions
have been given to keep close watch.
Applications are to be refused if there
is any cause to suspect the applicant
in acting under dureSS

SAFE HARBOR
BY RUTH TAYLOR

''FreedOm is the right of IL sailor to
quit ship in Il safe harbor.'
That was Andrew Fureseth's defini-
tion of freedom as given to me by
Victor Olander-and as with many Of
his phrases, ii sums up in just few
trenchant words Il whole situation.
Freedom is the right - the right
by the right of IL free man to quit ship
Ito leave his job and work where and
at what he wills-in Il safe harbor
IT is this that expresses the ideals
of American Labor today. Labor does
not and must not ask for special
fayors or privileges. 1t has Il right to
expect the same treatment as all other
citizens under our laws and our under
standing of freedom. 1t has the right
of freedom of choice - Just aS the
sailor has the right to quit ship in Il
safe harbOr.
A great many men i'm Labor are
worried that if they give up any one
OF their hard won rights, they will
have to fight all over again for it when
the war is over. They see that some
groups are already plotting the de
struction of an organized labor move
ment - forgetting that the organized
labor movement is the only real pro-
lection against the mob rule which has
ovcrthrOwn So many of the countries
OF Europe.
But we are not now i'm Il safe harbOr
and until the ship is safely brought
to port the sailor no right TO Quit
ship or work. Andy Fureseth real
lied that He did not countenance
mutiny on the high seas. He asked that
when the storm was over, and the
voyage safely encompassed, the sailor
nave the same right as any other man
That is what freedom is. You cannot
have freedom without considering yOul
ncighborS' rights You cannot have
rights without regrad To responsible
ties. You cannot have safety for your
self withot security for all You can.
not have peace for one and strife fol
another. The days of feudalism are
past.
We are all sailors today-with oul
| Commander in Chief as Captain. We
| will obey on the high Scas-so tha,
! when the storm is over and we rcacl
a safe harbor, we can, with clear con
| science, claim the right 10 quit ship,

with great volumes of business, but it
it hard to secure help and keep them
because so many are going into the
service and war production.
We regret Brother jim Mcknight
had to return to his home i'm Sebring,
Ohio due to illness. Maybe he will be
able to- return to us 'one of these days.
We had a grievance of much i'm
pOrtance at the Wallace China Com
pany which has just been settled by
the War Labor Board. We have had
Il condition in the placing and drawing
of kins which has gone on for years
without being corrected. Therefore at
the last conference between the \. Il.
of o. =. and the PCtters Guild of the
West Coast this problem was brought
up. The Manufacturers contended they
were conditions over which we had no
control.
The conference committee was head
ed by Second Vice President Frank
Hull and was composed of George
lace, organizer ana ". IL. sullivan anu
VIM. Withroe. This committee insisted
that the grievances be taken before the
Labor Board. This three man panci
heard the case and i'm turn referred it
to the War Labor Board which con
vened in San Francisco. After review
ing the case the War Labor Board
ruled that the n. B. of O. L. was no;
asking for raise i'm wages, but an
adjustment, therefore permitted the
manufacturers to make the adjust
ment.
There seems to be considerable en-
thuSiasm on the West Coast regard
ing the coming election of NatiOna!
Officers We hope each member will
use his rights and get out and do his
duty and vote for the man of his
choicc.-O.C. 113.

Unions will be able to do great

Slichtcr also calls for greater repre-
sentation of labor in Government agen-

tion. Mere appointment of union ohi-
CialS TO paid Government jobs won't
be satisfactory. The labor movement,
he contends, should he asked to name

ing such union officials placed on the

False Propaganda Hit
THE American Federation of Labor
does not question the right or the duty
of state legislatures to adopt laws
which, in their judgment, are neceS-
sary for the welfare of the citizens
they represent Green said.
But we do protest most vigorously
against the false and misleading prop
aganda with which the enemies of
labor are flooding the members of stat"
legislatures in an effort to induce them
TO take piece-meal action on issues
which in war emergency must be
decided by the federal authorities.
state legislatures are not i'm Il posi-
ton to know the facts with regard to
the war-production program as well as
the heads of the War and Navy De
partmentS. the War Production Board
and the President himself. We appeal
to them therefore, not To obStrIct the
war-production program by local legis-
iaion. but to give oIlr Commander in
Chief and his trusted aides Il free hand
in directing it"
War Production Cited
War production was more than
0uadlupled in 1912 and this year labor
faces the job of doubling the 1912 pro-
duction. Green pointed out.
We are confident we can attain this
goal, which is vital 10 victory, if the
freedoms of American workers are not
restricted and if hands of the trad"
unions that represent them are not
tied by vicious legiSlaiOn,' he said.
