Continuing his attack upon
the War Labor Board, Mr..
Thomas demanded an immediate
rollback of prices or an end to the
wage freeze, telling the delegates
that wages have not kept pace with
th2 increased cost Of living.
Opposes Labor Draft
Mr.. Thomas vigorously assailed
the proposed labor draft as con-
tanned in the provisions of the Aus
tin Wadsworth Bill, and accused
many corporations Of taking adj
vantage Of labor's no strike pledge.
He said that free labor could do
more in this country than slave
labor and he offered Nazi Germany
as the example to illustrate his
point.
Assailing the failure of the War
Production Board to take advan-
tage fully "of the willingness Of
labor to cooperate" in the activities
Of the division carryin on an in
creased production drive, he called
for greater cooperation.
Warns Against Overconfidence
Calling upon delegates not 20
permit the trend of the war to give
them overconfidence in the quick
termination of the struggle, Mr..
Thomas told of conference in
which he took part at the War De-
partment in Washington, and said:
anyone who thinks this war is
anyway near over is only fooling
himself" He stressed the impor-
tance of continuing the production
efforts and said: "This war should
be uppermost in the minds of the
delegates who attend this conven-
tion."
Mr.. Thomas also warned against
becoming suspicious of anyone of
our allies. He said, "we would
have considerable trouble winning
this war without Russia's help.
Still Opposes Strikes
Expressing his opposition to
strikes during the war, Mr.. Thomas
said that it was his wish and hope
that the convention go on record
as again being opposed to strikes.
He referred to his record in pre-
war days as authorizing more
strikes than any other Information
al union president. He said that
when the war was over he would
again authorize iustifiable strikes
if he were still president of the
UAW.
Charges Democratic Reactionaries
Charging that the reactionaries
are seeking to gain control of the
Democratic party, Mr.. Thomas
recommended that the convention
go on record as favoring another
term for "our commander-in-chief,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and for Vice

pledge and outlined the pro-
gram of the National CIO.
Referring to strikes as
"pre-war Injuries" President Muir
ray dramatically told the delegates
to the convention the story of an
aviator, son of one of the ClO ma
tional legislative agents, who had
lost his life in action.
"He died." said Mr.. Murray, "in
order that you and | might have a
labor movement. He died so that
the auto workers could meet in con-
vention. He died in order that you
could enjoy the freedom to stand
upon a convention floor and give
expression to your convictions as
free American citizens"
Pledges Allegiance
Mr.. Murray pledged his allegi-
ance to the United States and every
soldier fighting for it.
Strongly denouncing congress,
which he said had shown a hostile
attitude to labor, President Murray
said that organized labor must con-
duct a political educational CAM
\ign to acquaint the people of the
Intry with the facts, and told of
ne action of the National CIO IN
organizing such committee, which
had its headquarters in Washington
and was preparing for 1914.
Labor must unite in this country
and with the labor unions of other
countries in the postwar period III
order that there might not be an
other blood bath from which labor
is the principal victim, and to per-
petuate peace in the future.
CIO Ignored
He referred to the British labor
representative who came to this
country early this year and, after
consulting with the AFL, returned
to England, completely ignoring
the CIO, railroad brotherhoods and
other American unions. Mr.. Murray
said that the action of the British
committee had been completely re-
pudiated by the British trades
unions, and that another mission
was coming to this country to con-
suit with all the labor unions and
set up a plan for the postwar
period.
Telling his listeners that "the
eyes of the nation are focused upon
YOU, Mr.. Murray said that ques-
tions were being discussed in the
convention which affect the we'll
being of thousands of men and
women of the country. He called
upon the convention to realize that
its responsibilities were not only 10
the workers whom they represent,
but to the public interest.
Outlines Program
Mr.. Murray outlined the national
plan of the CIO, stressing the 1914
political campaign, called for sta
bilization of prices and price roll
backs to the September, 1912, level.
He stated his support of subsidies
to bring about price rollbacks and
called for 20 per cent increase in
food production.
Continuing his outline of the CIO
program, the CIO president called
for repeal of the Smith -Connally
Act, enactment of the anti-polltaX
bill and greater social security for
the workers.
A great ovation was given Presi-
dent Murray following his speech.

Scattered Over City
AS a result of the efforts of the
PAW Housing Committee, Local
II delegates all have succeeded IN
finding rooms. Many of them are
located in private homes and they
are Dragging to each other that
they like it better than the hotels
although they all admit that 1t
makes it more difficult to hold a
meeting.
Despite the fact that the East is
considered unfriendly, all Local II
delegates are unanimous in their
opinion that the people of Buffalo
who have thrown their homes open
to them are "swell folks" and most
of them are telling about having
"home privileges"
Few of the Local II delegates
were fortunate enough to secure
lodging at the Statler Hotel and
those who are there seem to all
be wearing the blue badges of one
of the candidates for office in the
international.
Campaign buttons and drum
sticks passed out by two of the
candidates for office are conspici-

Local II wags commented that

of the Statler was wearing but

parently don't care who gets elect

tional union.

GENE TUNNEY, former heavy
- weight champion and now di-
rector of physical training in the
United States navy, is man of con-
victions. And one of his strongest
convictions is that competitive ath-
letics have no place in the training
OF Americas fighting men.
In recent New York address,
Lieutenant Commander Tunney took
issue with the Navy Pre-FIight
sports program, which places strong
emphasis on football. He didn't
point specifically to the Pre-Flight
schools, but the implications were
obvious. II was q rather direct
criticism Of compulsory football for
naval cadets.
Tunney did single out the Great
Lakes Naval Training station, OBJ
serving that he could see no sense
in the sports program there. He ex-
planned that while the Great Lakes
football team played IA games In
1912, none was played at the station

Daily Routine

Football at these Cadet schools Is
only one part of general toughen-
ing system. 1t takes up only about
one-fifth of the daily training sched-
ule of from 8 to 10 hours. Once a
man finishes his course he leaves
for the flying field. No man is ever
held over to build stronger team.
1t is difficult to see why football
should draw Tunney's ire. The game
certainly ranks near the top as a
body conditioner. Granted that ev-
cry boy isn't going to play football
what's the difference? The soldiers,
sailors and marines who don't play
football still have a sports program
which will guarantee to do every
thing but make supermen out of
them. And the ones who want to
play football only add it to their
regular athletic curriculum.
Tunney says that ''if competitive
athletics could do it we'd have de-
stroyed the Nazis and Japs already"
OuCu q StdbcAllSut 1911 NCly lOBlC-
al. The claim never has been ad-
vaneed that competitive athletics
would win the war. That would be
as illogical as saying the new type
helmet will win the war. Both will
play part in the ultimate victory
both are part of the complete pic
ture.
Mr.. Tunney also says that only
military training can develop the
warrior psychology Perhaps that's
so. But football, as played in army
camps. is far from a soft game.
Its bone-crushing personal contact
does more to tougher an individual
, than almost any other sport No
one questions the fact that it devel-
ops the competitive spirit to an UNI
paralleled degree. The amazing up
sets of the past collegiate season
indicate that the desire to win can
perform miracles for strictly medi-
OGRE players. Competition develops
the spirit.

Doyle's FauOrite Story

Jack Doyle's favorite story con-
Germs Jimmy Austin, at that time
the Yankee third baseman.
Big Ed Walsh was pitching for
the White Sox. Austin was hitting
around .2O9," Jack said. HE hadn't
gotten a hit for three days. Walsh
was at his peak. The big fellow
was moving them down with his fast
ball and his splitter. On that day
l happened to be sitting near a
bunch of gamblers who found 1t hard
to get down a bet. They were
panning Austin as he came to bat.
Sitting near those gamblers there
was a drunk about half asleep.
He suddenly lurched over and said
he would like to bet 500 to $500 that
Austin would get triple. This
was too good to be true. especially
after he had shown his roll. Five
of the sure-thing boys took him, $500
to $4,000. and held the stakes. On
the first pitch Austin hit one against
the top Of the fence for three bases.
"The funny part is, that was the
last bet they could get out Of the
drunk. He crammed his winning
$500 into his pocket and went back
to sleep. His last remark was: !
only make one bet a game and then
l wait for a sure thing that cant
