Green Says Anti-Labor
Bills Stab In The Back

WASHINGTON. -A.FL. Pres
William Green declared that a con-
certed campaign by reactionary inter
estS to obtain anti-labor legislation
in state legislatures is a stab in the
back at both the administration and
labor.
Because of 1abor's splendid produc-
ton achievements, these reactionary
forces know they would meet defeat
in Congress, he said,' and thus are
trying to tie the hands of labor bv
vicious legislation in the states.
1T is an attempt to bypass the Pres
ident and the leaders of our Army
and Navy and erect obstacles on the
home front which will hinder them
in the successful prosecution of the
war; he said.
He called upon all affiliated state
declarations of labor to keep on the
alert against proposed state legisla-
ton which, under cover of supposedly
patriotic motives, attempts to ham
string labor"

Order and point out why it should
be modified for the protection of
workers. Here is your chance to go

Big Program
On Child Care
War Council Wants Model
$15,OOO,OOO Project For
Children Of Working
Mothers

ALBANIA model $l5,OOO,-
OOO program to care for the chill
dren of women working in war
industries was approved this week
by the State War Council, COM
posed of representatives of gov
ernment, labor and industry.
The demand for adequate child
care centers has long been high on
the legislative programs of MANY
unions and the present victory is
regarded as largely due to their eff
forts and those of wOmen's Organi-
cations and welfare groups. While
the plan as adopted has its imi-
tations, child care experts say that
it could easily serve as a model for
other states to follow.
THREE-WAY FINANCING
The program is to be financed
one-third by the state, one-third
by localities and One-third by par.
ents. In the event that federal funds
are made available through the
Lanham act or some other agency.
the states share will be reduced bv
that amount. The cost of child care
under the program is estimated at
maximum of $275 a year for
each child between 2 and 5 wears
OF age and 500 a year for school
children over 5.
The centers will be open to all
children whose mothers are working
either IN war industries or in man
power shortage areas. Provision has
also been made to take over q settle
ment house nurseries operated by the
WPA, which otherwise would have
closed down April L. Applications for
aid, filed through local war councils.
may be made by religious, charitable
traternal or community groups.
Ellnor Gimbel, chairman of the
Committee for the Care of Young
Children in Wartime, greeted the
adoption of the program and COM
mented:
Despite the War Councils an
nouncement that the program will
be available only to children of
the state whose mothers are work
ing either in war industries or i'm
manpOwer shortage area we ex-
pect an extremely liberal inter-
probation of this point. We under
stand that Gov. Dewey felt that
provision should be made for all
working mothers, and we hope that
the program will be carried out
with this i'm view.''
