"DlONNE FLEET" BUILDERS
WORK FUIL-TIME FOR VICTORY

Washington, ID. C. (1LNS).-AFL
workers at the Walter Butler Ship
builders, Inc, yards at Superior, Wis
consin, understand what this war is
about. Furthermore, they know what
must be done to win and they are do
ing it.
A recent owl survey among the
shipyard workers showed that:
WORKERS and management are do
ing an excellent job of turning out
ships on the inland ways. Working to-
gether in labor-management War Pro-
duction Drive Committees, they have
eliminated many production bottle
neckS.
2-They invest from 10 to 20 per
cent of their wages in war bonds.
3-Nlost of them have sons or sons
ln-lawS in the armed forces.
4-Nlany are running their farms in
off hours.
5-AbsenteeiSm at the yards is only
T. per cent daily. Once it reached 10
per cent, but that was q day when the
weather reached 80 degrees below
zero.

CENSORSHIP ALWAYS GROWS
(By Arthur Robb, in Editor &
PubliSher)

The history of censorship proves
that its strength and ambitions in
crease with it's exercise. The definitions
under which it is created are almost
always brOadened to cover subjects
that could not have been included in
the original set-ups. Military secur-
ity" becomes term of all-embracing
dimensions.
We are glad to note that skilled
newspapermen in Washington and else
where are vigilant today, exposing and
fighting every subtle scheme to ex-
tend censorship operations. In passing,
it ought to be noted, too that none of
the trial balloons or other schemes has
to increase the censors sphere has
originated with Byron Price or any
one associated with him in the Office of
Censorship. That Office seems to be
trying to work by the rules it has
published.
The ambitious censor-candidates are
in other branches of government-but
they're none the less dangerous for
that reason.

THE MINERS HAVE A CASE

"IUSTICE," the organ of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers, takes rational
view of the wage dispute between the United Mine
Workers and the coal operators.
1--WE doubt" says an editorial, chat any sec
ton of public opinion in this country--save per-
haps the mine operators-would deny the justice
of the miners claim. Even adverse editorial COM
ment appears to be concentrating its fire more
on John l.. Lewis, their leader than on the merits
of the miners case. At best the editorial writer's
choose to shield the denial of a wage increase for
the coal diggers by mechanical adherence to the
Little Steel formula"
Continuing, the editorial says: "The tangle
centering on the War Labor Board issue which
has brought on this mpasse and which today
threatens to develop into major disaster for the
miners and severe injury to national morale and
the effort, still could be disentangled provided
the personal element which is largely responsible
for it is reduced to minimum

ATTACKING THE STEEL MONOPOLY

7 TITLE ATTENTION has been given in the
- public press to the work of Congressional COM
mittees looking toward encouragement OF free
enterprise in the United States.
There has been much talk about protecting the
little business man in war production But for
long time there was more talk than protection.
Army and Navy brass hats have always pre-
ferred dealing with the big companies Their solu-
ton to the bottleneck arising from the fact that
the big companies couldn't produce all that was
needed in total war like this one was to make
the big companies bigger. They had no interest in
the economic welfare of the country. That is why
the President had to set up War Production
Board with civilians to run it. But the big COM
panies got the inside track in WPB for quite a
while until Congress took hand.
Among the committees throwing light on the
dark spots in our economic system, the Boykin
Steel Shortage Investigating Committee is getting
results in it's efforts to build up an independent
iron and steel industry outside the concentrations
This week the Governor of North Carolina ap-
peared before the Committee and told of the situ-
alton as he sees it, Governor j. Melville Brough-
ton told the Committee:
"You have uncovered the truth about the steel
shortages and have made clear what steps should
be taken to remedy that situation, which so
weakens and endangers the successful prosecution
of our war program. You have worked long and
hard practically without funds, and against every
kind of opposition. Your achievements, though
greeted with no fanfare IN the puDllc press, are
of great value. And one of your achievements will
have historic Importance refer to your action in
making possible the erection of the first sponge
iron plant in the United States capable of sub
stantial tonnage output.
1T is step which will lead to the liberation of
American iron and steel production from mono
poly control and to the enlargement of the priv
eges and opportunities of small industrial enter
prises throughout the nation.
eff this plant is permitted to succeed, it will
demonstrate the value of the sponge iron process,
and encourage it's general use, which will result
in the revival of many industrialy retarded COM
munties and areas throughout the country. De-
centralized production of melting stock from local
ores will give rise in postwar years to foundres
and machine shop operations for the Independent
manufacture of the countless durable articles of
commerce."

KEEP THE LIGHT BURNING

A RADIO commentator announced recently over
nation wide hookup that it is inevitable that
there will be inequality Of sacrifice that one group
will get a better deal than others. Therefore, he
said, the better deal should stop thinking and
talking about equality of sacrifice, and simple
justice during the war
Not fight injustice and tyranny in wartime ?
What sort Of doctrine is this?
We believe it is the duty of Americans to OPP
pose injustice and to speak their mind about in
equities and inequalities in wartime and in peace,
time. That's one Of the rights we are fighting for
If we adopt philosophy as that proposed by
the radio man we will lose every step of progress
we have made in the last century. We will have nc
rights when this struggle is over. We must keer
the light of liberty burning while our boys are
away doing the fighting.

HIGH PRICES ARE FROZEN

/ ,ABOR'S complaint before the court of public
- opinion is based on facts. Briefly, here are
some important items in the case of the worker:
Prices have been frozen at levels from SO to
100 per cent higher than those which existed in
January, 1871. But the workers wage has been
clamped tightly in the vice of the Little Steel
Formula
The President called for rolling back Of prices
some weeks ago Up to date the farmer is without
a ceiling on what he may charge, and he is still
boosting prices. The OPA has no authority to
control the farmer.
There is much ado about parity for the farmer
but what about parity for the worker? Where
is the justice in forcing the working man to tight
en- his belt while the farmer is invited to get rich
off the war, and congress lifts the wage ceiling
on the very special 5000 folks who have incomes
of more than $67,O year?
They are going to roll the prices back we are
told We hope so, but we will believe it when we
see it.
Yes, we have price ceilings-and some dollar
and cents prices. But the prices have not been
peeled back to meet the working mans paychecll
AS rule, the high prices now prevailing have
been frozen at their peak.
There's talk of subsidies, when and if prices
are reduced. Why subsidies? That's simple: sc
that the farmer and the big fellow may continue
to reap golden harvest out of the war

DESTROYER TO BE NAMED
AFTER FORMER UNION MEMBER

Washington, d. G. QLNS).-One of
the Navys new DE vessels will be
launched June 6 at Houston, Texas,
and will be named for Ensign Joseph
Lee Richey, of st. Joseph, Missouri,
who was killed in the Japanese sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor. Prior to en-
tering the naval service, Ensign Richey
was a member of Retail Grocery
Clerks Union, Local 9SS, AFL, at st.
Joseph, Missouri.
His wife, Mrs. Jane Richey, of st.
Joseph, will sponsor the vessel, the
USS Richey, named in honor of her
husband whose plane was shot down
during the attack. He enlisted in the
Navy November Is, 1910, and was COM
missoned at Pensacola, FlOrica, Naval
Training Station on August 26, 1941.
Ensign Richey was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Watson Richey, of St.
Joseph. Mr.. Richey has been a member
of the Truck Drivers and Warehouse
mems Union, Local AGO, for nine years.
In order to meet the growing menace
to convoy operations, it has been nec-
essary to design and build ships to fill
the gap between patrol craft and de-
stroyers. The destroyer escort vessel
has been designed after due considera-
ton of production and shipbuilding
facilities to serve this purpose.
The destroyer escort vessel program
provides for the construction of several
hundred ships designed for convoy
service and thus relieve larger and
more heavily armed ships from this
duty. These ships are of a characteris-
tic destroyer design, approximately
three hundred (300) feet in length and
thrity-siX (36) feet abeam. The design
of the hull is such as to permit unit
prefabrcation thus resulting in rapid
construction.

NAZIS FORCE NORWEGIANS
TO WORK ON STREET CARS

Women in Oslo are being given the
choice either Of working as street car
conductors to replace compulsory labor
conscripts or of working in the Ger
man herring oil factories in North
Norway the Swedish newspaper So
cial Demokraten said in an article
reported to the OWL.
"The authorities have tried in vain
to persuade pensioned railway en-
ployees to replace the conscripts," the
Swedish paper added, land therefore
they are now starting to educate
women as conductors and collectors :"

JAPAN MUST REPEL "MATERIAL
PRESSURE" OR LOSE

Inspector General Teiichi Suzuki,
president of the Japanese cabinet plan
ming board after a four-day inspection
tour of war factories told the 'indus-
trial soldiers" that Japan is fighting
the richest nations of the world and
can not win unless she ''repels the
material pressure of the enemy, the
Tokyo radio declared in broadcast
reported by L. S. government monitors.

You can go back now, if you like,
and read this column written for Jan.
1. 1t still goes.
What was said then was something
like this: the war CAN end this year;
it probably will not you can't bank
on it; but it is POSSIBLE.
1t can happen.
The way the NaZi army folded up in
Tunis is surely reminiscent of the way
the Germans folded up in World War
l, if you remember
The Nazis in Tunis had plenty of
everything left when they quit.
Plenty of everything EXCEPT AIR
PLANES.
| There was plenty of ammunition OF
all kinds, plenty of arms, plenty of big
guns and plenty of food.
BUT THERE WEREN'T ANY
PLANES
| The Nazis were getting more hell
from the air than they could stand.
They are bad losers anyway. They
| didn't stand like the Americans and
Filipinos stood on Bataan. They just
folded.
They couldn't take that awful lacing
from the air.
| Well, the Nazis have seen the end
of their superiority in the air.
| From here on out the air power will
be on the side of the United Nations.
! Nazis that couldn't take it in Tunis
can't take it in Germany any better.
True enough, the Nazis still have a
large air force; but they don't rule the
air any more and they never will
again.
| Germany is getting pounded more
heavily each week. That will continue.
How long can the Nazi stomach stand
it?
| The present type of air power prob
ably isn't the last word. Every weapon
is followed by new defense.
But the United Nations have the
lead there, too.
France folded in a hurry when the
dive bombers went to work.
| Folks can talk as long as they like
about what the politicians and the
workers did to France. But what
France lacked was air power to meet
the Nazi planes that came shrieking
| out of the Skies
Nazi air power now rates second;
| and not too hot as second.
The Nazis are great boys for strut
| ting and showing off when they have
the upper hand. They are no good
and they never have been-at standing
their ground when they face superior
enemy.
There isn't enough beer in Germany
| to give them the kind of courage they
are going to need-the kind that sent
| the noble six hundred" to their death
in gallant but futile charge, or the
kind that made Bataan a monument
| to sheer heroism.
X X X
The military authorities tell us not
to be too hopeful; that there's terrific
sacrifice ahead.
That's probably true Every Ameri
can has to keep pegging away as if
the war were sure to last another ten
years
But that doesn't prevent the obser
| walton that the war; as far as Ger
many and Italy are concerned-can
fold up in hurry, once it starts
We really are fighting two wars at
once. With Japan we have something
else. A mean and grisly job to finish,
running, perhaps, over long time.
| Maybe the NaZis have it in them to
stand and fight somewhere until the
last man drops.
But probably not. On the basis of
performance in the past, definitely not.
It's long way to Berlin, by all the
old routes and ways of travel.
But plane is something else. 1t
can go mighty fast.-CMW.

THE AMERICAN Legion which heretofore has
been spending about $4,000 yearly on an
AmericaniSm program, announced that 1T pro-
posed to raise 20 million dollars to extend this pro-
gram and sell "Amercanism to Americans" This
is tremendous sum, and the largest part OF 1T
we presume would be made up by contributions OF
large corporations and the war industries.
Human nature being what it is, this American
ism program most likely would be slanted accord
ing to the viewpoints of the people who supply the
money as we'll as those temporarily in charge OF
the Legion.
The present National Commander Roane War
ing, Southern corporation lawyer, has repeatedly
indicated his hostility towards Organized Labor.
Since he, and his successors would have a good
deal to say about the making and direction of such
an educational program, we are inclined TO be-
lieve it might turn out to be something entirely
different than it's authors visuallzed.
In our matured judgment, a composite picture
Of What constitutes good American might be
summed up by stating he is person who believes
and practices in his daily life the principles and
ideals Incorporated in the Declaration of lnde-
pendence, the Decalogue the Sermon on the
Mount, and the Constitution of the United States,
particularly the Bill of Rights. Such person
you will find to be tolerant, sympathetic, a lover
of freedom and justice and a defender of eternal
principles of righteousness from whatever quarter
they are attacked
With all due regard for the American Legion
and the virile patriotism of it's members, we be-
lieve the job of teaching Amercanism is one
which belongs to our schools, press, radio, church
es and other vehicles of propaganda and moral
suasion, including of course the American Legion
and other patriotic and veteran organizations
1t is obviously the grand and glorious privilege
of the Legion to raise twenty million dollars or
two billion dollars if they can, for an Americansm
program. But in view of the past ant-labor phobia
of Mr.. Waring, will some Of this education" be
directed to glorifying big business and depredate
the rights Of the organized labor movement? We
hope not.
