manpower policies of the Government
were sharply aSSailed here by Thomas
G. Cashen. president of the Switch
mems Union of North America.
Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service
director and Paul V. McNutt, War
Manpower Commission chief had
drained the manpOwer resources of
railroads to the point where the situa-
ton can now be termed critical" he
charged. He assused the Government
officials of failing, despite multitude
of pleas" to defer essential employees.
For some reason or other Presi-
dent CaShen declared, ''the Government
has failed to consider the railroad in
dustry a war industry. 1t has over
looked the fact that railroads are the
most essential factor in this home
front battle to transport materials TO
carry on the war, both men and ma
chinery."
''Not a single Government body took
an interest in the railroad situation
until just recently" CaShen added.
"Then, / understand, the WMC de-
creed that engineers and conductors be
deferred from Selective service That
move, if so, means nothing Men in
those classes are too old to be drafted" "

Composers And Authors
Hold War Songs Good

New York City ULNS).-In a paid
advertisement in a union organ, the
American Society of Composers, Au
thOrs and Publishers (ASCAP) de
clares that people who say this wal
isn't producing good music don't know
what they are talking about"
The society launched campaign to
defend current war songs in The In
ternatiOnal Musician, official publica-
ton of the American Federation of
Musicians. Similar advertisements will
appear in other publications.
Robert Murray, director of customer
relations for ASCAP, who wrote the
advertisement, said that the general
criticism of the song writer's was that
they had not yet produced the equal
of "Over There" by the late George
Nj. COhan.
There wasn't any radio in the time
of Over There or it wouldn't have
lasted through the war;" Murray said.
"There are many good war songs but
they're chewed up by radio.
Praise the Lord and Pass the
Ammunition" Coming In On Il Wing
and Il Prayer and Johnny Doughboy
Found Rose in Ireland were cited
by Murray as examples of effective
songs of this war.
In its advertisement, the society said
that more songs have been written in
IL. -, Ill 6
the first World War.
"But they're not as good . : they
say" the advertisement continued
"llow do they know? What yardstick
do they use? There are many of them
and as with all songs some Will be
good and Il few will be great. 1t isn't

ing. Chairman William IL. Davis, in
the opinion for the majority, made
public August 81, stated that the board
had rejected the S1.25 day portal
to-portal pay clause because the figure

Not Paid For Travel Time
The CIO members of the board Is
sued their dissenting opinion Aug. 2S.
The dissenting opinion of the AFL
members, signed by George Meany
and Matthew Woll holds that "a mine
worker is at work from the time he
reports for work, at the beginning Of
the shift, and comes under the control,
direction or supervision of his EN-
ployer until the end of the shift, when
he leaves the control, direction or
supervision of his employer He Is
not paid for that work, he has never
been paid for that work"
Stating that ore miners undergo the
same inconvenience and dangers in
travel time as do coal miners but get
paid for such time under the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the opinion asks,
"Why should the ma ajOrity of the War
