We, Too. Are
Americans
Bv RUTH TAYLOR

The greatest danger which threatens
our nation today, the direct threat to
our liberties, lies not in the far flung
battle line, not in the jungles OF Is
lands far to the south, not on the snow
clad slopes Of northern gateways, not
on the sandy wastes Of the desert. not
on the sea lanes of all the oceans
but here in our cities, our towns, our
villages, here in our homes themselves.
1t is the constant danger OF diyisiye-
ness among our own people.
Since the first settlers crossed the
seas to seek freedom on our shores,
this has been the threat that has
logged our pathway as q nation. Ii
was the weapon of every wOuld-be CON
querOr cOvetOus of our fertile lands
and valiant people. 1t was the force
that drove many of our people from
their home across the seas. 1t was to
withstand that force that they banded
together to make nation. And 1T was
to conquer that force that they fought
civil war to make all the people
within our borders free men. We are
no hyphenated people nor a pyramid
of class strata. We are a United Ma
ton, We, too, are Americans.
Once more another tyrant seeks t'
use against us the weapons Of diyisive
ness. Now Huler's agents, both pro
fessional and amateur, are till seeking
day in and day out to- disrupt Oul
unity, to divide our people. They are
tanning tempers, starting rumors, feed
| ing resentments, separating our people
| into groups who hammer constantly a
each other for their rights" trying t.
legislate brotherhood and to enforce
| friendship.
But we, who have struggled to free
dom, will not fall into the trap. We
too, are Americans no matter what oul
background. Whether we fled from
Europe to escape slavery. or from
| Africa into new bondage, whether W.
be NOrdic. LatinS or Negroes, whether
we worship our God as PrOtestants
Catholics or Jews, whether we be ricf
or poor, employer or worker we, too
are today Americans, living under /
greater measure of freedom than any
where else on earth, and possessed o
the right to enlarge that freedom
through the orderly processes of Law
and reason.
Let us present United force againS
all this dlvisive chatter. Let us prove
that we, too, are Americans, loyal t.
the ideals of brotherhood and democ
racy and faithful members of th'
Union of States that is the Unite,
States, of Union of Nations that i
the United Nations.

Norfolk Labor Organizes
To Help Control Prices

Norfolk, Va. ULNS).-Organized Ia
Dor here is acting to aid in control OF
food prices, which are soaring in this
area, as everywhere.
Following organization of district
labor advisory committee to the Office
of Price administration, American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, Congress of Indus
trial Organizations, and railroad labor
unions issued a one-page printed paper.
Called I'VE the People" the paper
is the official organ of the OPA Labor
Advisory Committee and deals only
with problems of price and rationing.
"All consumers are urged to make
sure that the ceiling prices of all essen
tial foodstuffs are actually posted" the
article declared.
If they are not posted, ask the
stOrekeeper to post these prices and
tell him that another check will be
made. 2-When you find any prices
higher than the top ceiling prices on
your list, point out the illegal price
and ask him to reduce it Immediately.
3-If on the return trip, he has failed
to reduce the illegal price, make a pur-
chase. get a receipt and bring the re-
ceipt to your local ration board. 4
If your complaint does not receive i'm
mediate attention then notify the La
Dor Advisory Committee, for further
action"

Fire Major Air Weapon
The initial goal of 100000 guards
will provide half-milliOn trained
fire-fighting squads, Lands said, a
force necessary to meet the increas-
ing fire hazard to homes. lives and
plants resulting from new bombing
tactics Of the enemy.
Fire and fire bombs are the ma jor
weapons Of air attacks" he pointed
out. They have accounted for mor.
than 80 per cent of total damage and
the enemy is using every device to in
crease the deadly effectiveness Of these
weapons. Even in raids employing the
heaviest explosive boE1bs, thousands
of incendiaries are used to complete
and make certain the chaos of deStruc-
ton which have been started by the
high explosives
The OCD director said that with the
introduction of more dangerous incen-
! diaries carrying much heavier eNplo-
sive charges, and the use Of heavier
loads of fire bombs and more concen-
trated attacks, there is a compelling
need for larger fre-fighting forces,
greater skill and more equipment to
| deal with fires
Intensive Training
In his call for volunteers from the
labor unions, Lands emphasized that
women will be recruited as regular
members OF fire guard squads and will
work on exactly the same basis as
men. Members will receive Is hours OF
intensive training and will be drilled
in the use and care Of small freight.

Answering Shopping Problems

Another aspect of the problem of
women's work in war time is raised by
a report which comes before this Con
ference 1t arose out of an inquiry in
stigated by last years conference into
the facilities for shopping made avail
able for women workers with domestic
responsibilities whose hours of work
prevent shopping at the usual time.
With the help of the local Trades
Councils and the Trade Unions this
inquiry yielded data showing that a
large number of employers allowed
time off for shopping, either early in
the morning, or by extension of lunch

London. Britain's Trade Unions
with women amongst their members,
hold a Conference every year, attended
mainly by women delegates, to dis
cuss questions Of particular concern to
women workers The Conference this
year reflects the growing Importance
of Trade Union organization amongst
women.
When the war began there were no
more than 100000 women in the
Unions affiliated to the British TUG. !;
their numbers were doubled in two
years Of war; now, although official
figures are not yet available the total
of organized women is certainly near
ing 100000 One Union alone, the
Amalgamated Engin neering Union,
which decided to admit women to mem-
bership as from the beginning of the
present year, has already enrolled over
5000 women workers in the engineer
ing trades, and they are fiOcking into
that Union now at ,the rate of many
thousands a month.
Resolutions on the Agenda of this
years conference of Trade Union
women include one expressing satisfac.
tiOn with the increased membership of
women in the Unions. This resolution
| places on record appreciation of the
work carried out by the thousands OF
women shop stewards who have ac
cepted the responsibilities which arise
out of the day to day problems of in
dustrial democracy in the workshops
The resolution further calls upon the
managements of establishments Ell
gagged on work of national Importance
to recognize the part that the Trade
Union Movement is playing in smooth
ing out day to day problems in the
interests of production; and empha
sizing also the Importance of Unior
officials having facilities of approach
to their shop stewards and responsible
members in the workshops. The UniOI
responsible for this resolution pOint
out that many women are today dOin:
two jobs, in the factory and at home
and have time left for meetings out
side working hours.
