WAYS TO CONTROL
ABSENTEEISM FOUND

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Amer-
lean industry, with the cooperation of
labor and federal state labor officials,
is finding ways successfully to control
absenteeism, Secretary Of L Or
Frances Perkins reports in outlining
the results of survey made by the
u. S. Department of Labor of leading
war production plants in different
parts of the country.
"The survey, which shows that i'll
ness, accidents, transportation Difficult
ties, poor housing, bad nutrition, lack
of child care facilities and other prob
lens which the individual worker
alone cannot solve are responsible for
most absenteeism and that wilful abb
senteeism is almost negligible, lists
effective measures which have been
taken in the interest of control"
'Poor production planning and ma
terial shortages are serious cause of
absenteeism. Towards securing a
smooth flow of production, plants
have worked with suppliers and sub
contractors, transportation companies
and their own plant departments.
When layoffs must occur, they have
explained to employees why there is
no work. They have shifted workers
with several skills to avoid overstaf-
fnp of crews and To secure maxi
mum use of labor.
"Other problems which plants have
considered in reducing absenteeism
include hours, industrial accidents and
disease, industrial fatigue, nutrition,
lack of awareness of the relation of
the job to the war effort, and personal
work patterns" Secretary Perkins
said.

Ex-RailrOaders Get
Ammunition Through

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-A
group of ex-U. S. railroad workers,
who turned in their overalls for Army
uniforms, went back to their trade in
North Africa recently and got a
trainload of desperately needed am
munition through to a beleaguered in
fantry regiment.
Except for one man, the train crews
and yardmen who ordinarily operated
the line in Algiers had fled to the hills
as soon as the Americans landed. A
locomotive and ten cars were stranded
on the rusty rails when word came
through that regiment of American
troops had dug into fox holes up the
line and were under heavy fire they
were unable to return for lack of bull
lets.
Ten American railroad workers, un-
der the command of Lieut.. Col. Ed
ward T. Barrett, former division en-
gineer of the Denver & Rio Grande
Western, manned the stalled train.
They didn't have enough coal SO they
used cork as substitute fuel, got the
train to the pier, loaded it and started
in search of the regiment. About four
miles from the starting point they
came on our soldiers and unloaded the
ammunition in daylight, all the while
under enemy fire.

Roll-Back Of Food Prices Demanded
To Assure Workers A Balanced Diet;
Radio Address By George Meany
Quotes Actual Food Prices In SubsantiatiOn of His
Charges; Lists Many Foods Which Have Gone Up
1OOPct. Or More Since January 1941 One 275 Pct.

Pointing out that the men and
women of American labor are produc
ing planes, ships, tanks, guns and am
munition ''at the fastest rates ever at
tained," Mr.. Meany said:
"The cost of food, generally, has
doubled in the past two years. What
does this mean to the American work
er and to his wife and family? 1t
means that the American housewife,
confronted with such sky-high pricD
and desiring to discharge her
sponsibility of keeping the war wo1k-
ers in her family nourished SO that
they can produce for victory, has no
alternative but to pass up the foods
which are essential to balanced diet
but which are now beyond the reach
of the average family's pOcketbOOk."
Mr.. Meany conceded that many
workers are now earning more than
they formerly made, but emphasized
that many workers, millions of them,
nave IScclNcU IlO ulCIedSG III pay III
the last three years, or have received
purely nominal increases amounting
to or 5 cents an hour, or $1.50 to
$500 per week" The average pay en-
velope for all manufacturing indus
tries, including the war industries,
holds only SAL each week, he said.
Mr.. Meany asked that President
Roosevelt, under his wartime powers,
issue an executive order to the OPA
mot stating in general terms that
food prices should be held down, but
stating in definite, specific terms that
retail food prices must be rolled back
within a definite, specific period of
time to the levels which prevailed on
May Is, 1912"
"Only in this way" said the AFL
leader, "can the American worker be
assured that he will be unhampered
in his efforts to perform the tasks that
he is not only willing to do but that
he is anxious to do-to produce all the
weapons of war that our nation needs
for final and complete victory"

mo BEER, NO
WORK, /" SAYS
CANADIAN LABOR

Halifax, N. S. (ILNS).-The Hall
fax District Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil has been leading fight to force
the Dominion and provincial govern
ments to allow workingmen adequate
supplies of bottled beer at the govern
ment package stores, and advocating
the establishment of beer parlors for
the sale of beer only by the glass.
Officers of the council have been
striving desperately to counteract a
"no beer, no work" campaign, which
has been gaining weight among men.
Several small strikes have been
nipped in the bud.
The council sponsored an open rally
in the local Labor Temple, to discuss
the advisability of more beer for
workingmen. Three members of the
Nova Scotia assembly were speakers,
and one of them is a member of the
government of the province. All
agreed there is absolute necessity of
making more beer available to work
ers, and that increasing the beer ra-
tions would be an effective method of
combating absenteeism. 1t was de-
clared that some of those insisting on
the reduction of the beer rations down
to mere skeleton of the original al
lowance are interested not in ration
ing but actually in restoring prohibi-
ton.
A resolution was passed by the
meeting, without dissent, although the
building was crowded to beyond the
doors protesting against the small
beer allowance now prevailing in the
province and making no special con-
sideration for men engaged in wal
industries and projects. One of the
three legislators charged there are
"wet, dry and hypocritically dry
members in the provincial assembly

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Warn-
ing that the prices of food have
reached point so high that the fu-
ture of our war effort is most seri-
ously threatened" Secretary Treas
urer George Meany of the American
Federation of Labor called upon
President Roosevelt to order the
Office of Price Administration to roll
back retail food prices within def
mite, specific period of time" to the
levels of May Is, 1912.
In a nationwide radio broadcast the
plain talking labor leader branded
price control in regard to food "a mis-
cradle failure" and quoted actual
prices Of simple, basic foods in Ameri-
can cities today in substantiation of
his charge. He listed many foods
which have gone up 100 percent or
more since January 1941, and one
which has risen 275 percent.
"a Flying Fortress is wonderful
lilStI uulcut OI Wal, NIL. MSdHy uc-
clared, "but if it has no fuel it cam
not get off the ground. The American
worker, as figures prove, is wonder
full producer, but if he does not have
sufficient nourishing food in his
stomach, he cannot do job at top
speed and at peak efficiency.
Holding the present line on food
prices is not enough. The American
people are already over their heads.
Prices on food staples must be rolled
back.
Can we expect this to be done un-
der the present governmental policy :?
Obviously not! According to the SEN
ior assistant to the Director of OPA,
in a remark of or days ago, there
is nothing in the Presidents hold-the-
line executive order of April to pre-
vent price adjustments. This state
ment was evidently made to appease
certain food producers by indicating
that the Presidents order did not pre-
vent OPA from allowing prices to go
even higher than they are today"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-05-07

He said the hypocritically dry mem
bers "take all they can stand for
themselves, but don't stand on their
own two feet and speak for their con-
stituents." The cooperation of "the
powers that be" was solicited to keep
the men at work.

By CHESTER M. WRIGHT

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-Some-
times you have to go far back to get
at the roots of the flowers that bloom
today.
That's how it is with the amazing
trip of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to
Monterrey, Mexico, and his talks with
Avil Camacho, the President of the
Good Neighbor to the South.
The roots lie in the soil that labor
fertilized, with the backing of Wood
row Wilson, back in that other war.
Cultivation by labor has continued
ever since. 1t can be doubted, in all
seriousness, whether the Roosevelt
trip could have been such a success,
had it not been for the pioneering
done by the organized workers on
both sides of the international boun-
dairy.
Labor Makes It's Start
When that other war broke out,
Venustiana Carranza was President
of Mexico and he was definitely pro-
Woodrow Wilson and the active CO.
operation of the Creel Committee,
which was the government propagan-
da agency of that day, the American
Federation of Labor sent its men into
Mexico. Not many today will even
know the men who went. But those
who knew the names, James Lord and
John Murray, will recall the job done
in that earlier period.
The AFL men didn't go to see gov
ernment officials. They found the men
of organized labor below the border.
They found young man named Luis
Morones and group of his COM
patriots. Whatever debt the United
States may owe any other man of any
other nation, it can never repay to
Luis Morones the debt it owes him
for his work in helping to create and
maintain genuine good neighbor re-
lation These men didn't use the

they knew it for what it was.
