ERROR CAUSED
MIXUP IN TIME

Middletown, Ohio-Why did Mid
dletown and other cities in the Miami
Valley remain on "fast time" week
longer than Cincinnati?
City Commissioners in an attempt
to explain that matter to bewildered
citizens blamed Typographical error
in an out-of-town newspaper for the
mixup.
The Commissioners say that the
newspaper, in reporting the action of
the Cincinnati City Council in voting
to return to "slow time," gave the
date for the change as September
49,"
A check of the calendars showed
September 20 to be on a Wednesday
and, not desiring to upset things in
the middle of the week, Middletown
and the other cities agreed to delay
the change until Saturday, Oct. 2.
Anyhow, that's the story and every
thing will be 0. K again after mid
night Saturday.

Washington, d. C.-AFL President
William Green issued a nationwide
call to all affiliated organizations to
get busy at once with plans for politi-
cal action in this years and next
years elections.
Mr.. Green emphasized that many
members of Congress and State Leg
islatures who voted for anti-labor
measures will be candidates for re-
election and should be defeated re-
gardless of their political affiliations.
"I am, therefore addressing to you
this official communication calling up
on all officers and members of the
American Federation of Labor to be-
gin preparations for the political cam
paigns of this year and next year as
we'll" Mr.. Green wrote. "The full
political strength of labor should be
mobilized and united in support OF
candidates regardless of political af-
filiations who are sympathetic and
friendly to labor and in opposition to
those who have shown themselves to
be our enemies and who are unsym-
pathetic to labor's legislative and eco
nomic policies. We positively can de-
feat our enemies and elect our friends
if we mobilize and unite labor's full
political strength. We can do this If
we will. The responsibility lies with
us. Let us meet this responsibility

all members go to the polls and vote.
"In addition | respectfully suggest
that the records of Members of Con-
gress and of state legislatures which
show the way they voted, in favor OF
anti-labor legislation or against it, be
examined and studied Candidates for
election to Congress and state legis-
latures should be called upon to state
in positive terms their attitude toward
labor, labor's legislative policies and
labor legislation. Let us in this way
prepare now for the great political
battles of 1943 and 1914. Through such
preparation we cannot fail to win de-

Washington, D. C. (1LNS).-To
solve manpower problems, conditions
that cause problems must be remedied,
the American Federation of Labor de-
clares in it's latest monthly survey,
which warns that manpower crisis
is ahead.
Compulsory methods will not solve
the problem, the AFL emphasizes.
"Unless the workers basic social
needs are met-housing, food, trans
portation, shopping, and recreation
facilities, child care, medical care -
no amount of compulsion will assure
men and women with the will and
energy to reach production peaks" "
the federation says.
Housing conditions are interfering
with war production in many CEN
ters, the federation asserts, citing the
case of one west coast city where
workers are living in chicken coops,
sleeping in parks and theaters, while
1850 workers are housed in substan-
dard quarters.
Housing Failure Charged
The National Housing Agency has
not met the need for war workers
dwellings the federation charges. 1t
adds:
'Unless decent housing is provided
for war workers, no amount of force
in manpower control will bring out the
necessary war production. Men who
sleep in parks and theaters, live in
chicken coops or spend 3 hours get
| ting to work cannot give what it takes
to get out war production. Illness
absenteeism, production delays are the
inevitable result"
Facts on the manpower situa-
tion are vital to union officers
and members, says the federation
"for workers freedom to change
jobs may be uselessly denied un-
less immediate steps are taken to
remove the causes of manpower
shortage"
Already critical manpower short.
ages exist in some occupations in Sc
cities and the shortages will grow
more and more severe unless steps arc
taken at once to meet them, the fed
Grafton declares.
Remedial Policy Stressed
Labor, if given the responsibility,
it adds "could persuade qualified
people to leave non-essential jobs ane
transfer to war work; also to helr
persons not now working-women ane
young people who reach working age
to get into suitable jobs in mum
tions plants"
Discussing remedying of conditions
that cause manpower shortages, the
federation says:
"The policy Of placing both wal
and civilian production in towns
where labor supply is plentiful must
be rigidly adhered to, both in Wash
ington and throughout the country
