DEPARTMENT CHIEF

Robert j. Harmon, 304 Progress
avenue, Monday was appointed Chief
of the Hamilton Fire Department. He
succeeds William J. Conlin, who re-
signed several weeks ago.
The appointment was announced by
r. P. Price, City Manager, who said
he followed precedent of naming ap-
plicants who received the highest
grades in civil service competitive ex-
aminations.
Price also announced the selection
of Ralph j. Lenehan as Assistant
Chief. Lenehan scored the highest
grade in an examination for that posi-
ton. Lenehan succeeds James Hender-
son, who resigned several weeks ago.
Chief Harmon has been member
of the department since 1921. He was
appointed Lieutenant in 1887. As
sistant Chief Lenehan became a fire.
man in 1917 and was appointed Cap
tain November 1, 1912.
Both Harmon and Lenehan are
worthy of the positions given them.
They'll make good.

TRUCK DRIVERS
REACH AGREEMENT

The Teamsters Union, Local 100,
reports that they were able to bring
to successful conclusion, the strike
involving 20 -the-road drivers,
employed by six private contract car
riers, hauling outbound loads from
the Champion Paper and Fiber Com
pany at meeting Friday, February
5, 1943.
The members of the Teamsters
Union were striking for an increase of
about Is per cent in wages and a re-
vision of the obsolete operating sys-
tenn, whereby they were donating as
much time as they were getting paid
for.
After the strike had been in effect
for one week and the negotiations be-
came deadlocked, the Teamsters called
upon the United States Cancellation
Service for Conciliator to help start
the negotiations again, this was
granted in the person of Mr.. Martin
Swauger of Cincinnati, Ohio, whom
we wish to thank at this time for his
unbiased aid in bringing the strike to
a close. Through Mr.. Swauger's ef-
forts a clearer Interpretation of the
Contract demanded by the Teamsters
was made to the Employers and
thereby settlement was reached.
A minimum base pay for certain
number of hours per trip was set up
and all time in excess of this schedule
to be paid at the rate of 80 cents per
hour, better working system is
being worked out by the Contract
Carriers and those Companies they
hold contracts with.
One weeks vacation with pay and
all hours over two on break downs
was also included in the agreement
Those effected by the strike and
who have signed the agreement are,
Ralph H. Bader, E. M. Druck, E. NJ
Mann, A. L. Smith, E. Pfrrman and
d. Waitman.
The signing of the agreement by
H. P. Stahlheber of the Victor Motor
Transit and the H. P. Stahlheber
Trucking Company avoided strike
of his employees.

AFL Urges Immediate Action to Give
Labor Full Voice in Important
Policy-forming Committees
Bigger War Effort Role Demanded; End to Delay In
Giving Labor Full Representation In War Pro-
duction Machinery Demanded By AFL

Miami (ILNS).-An end to delay in
giving labor full representation in
war production machinery was de-
manded by the American Federation
of Labor executive council in ending
its winter meeting here
Immediate representation on i'm
portant War Production Board COM
mittees and in the office of the WPB
vice chairman was asked by the coun-
Gil, which declared such representa-
tion is essential to the adequate pro-
duction of arms and equipment
Asserting the situation is urgent, ;"
the council said:
There is no time to lose in Sc
curing more effective prosecution
of the war effort"
Committees on which the council
demanded a place are: The Require
ments Committee, Office of Civilian
Supply, Program and Facilities Bu-
reau, Resources Agency and Distribu-
tion Bureau and Production and Pol
icy Committee.
Labor's Role Stressed
In a statement announcing the de-
mands, the committee said:

the war production program is of ut

had to expand too much of it's energy
up to now in mere effort to assert
it's rights.
"The same strength which is now
mobilized to meet opposition can be
tapped for constructive purposes" !"
Zaritsky contends. "By the same
token, organized industry as repre-
sented by such bodies as the National
Association of Manufacturers or the
u. S. Chamber of Commerce can
bring to bear its full powers for con-
structive purposes by welcoming the
organization of labor.
San attitude of this sort would give
American labor real assurance that it
can thrive under system of free en-
terprise."
Government Aid Held Needed
Economic planning by industry and
labor will require the assistance of
the government, Zaritsky believes.
"The governments role in a
planned economy such as foresighted
leaders of labor and industry envisage
will be that of a traffic cop regulating
the flow of industry so as to avoid
snarls and collisions. The traffic Of
ficer does not himself own and drive
every machine, nor does he have au-
thority beyond that prescribed in the
traffic regulations"

New York City (ILNS).-Organ-
lied industry, as represented by
such groups as the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, is called on to
Join with organized labor in exercis-
ing leadership to guarantee freedom
from want for all, and to encourage
government to maintain at least
minimum of security for it's citizens,
in an article by Max Zaritsky, presi
dent of the United Hatters, Cap and
Milliner Workers International
Union, in the Jan. 80 issue of the Sat-
urday Evening Post.
The article, entitled "Can Labor
Prosper Under Free Enterprise 2"
calls mass unemployment the greatest
scourge of both labor and the free en-
Serprise system, and views "the most
serious problem confronting peace
time America is planning our ma
tional economy" SO as to utilize the
creative power of labor as well as
management for the enrichment and
enjoyment of the American way of
life"
Employment Plans Urged
The American worker will want
after the war what all Americans
want-freedom and security, Zaritsky
declares, and achievement of both will
require recognition by industry of the
constructive role of labor in the coun-
itry's economy.
"When the war is over, or better
still before the war is over, free en-
terprise must formulate plans against
mass deprivation of work to labor" !"
the union leader declares.
The price of failure will be the
setting i'm of "black reaction, or
it's counterpart, red revolution"
The people of the nation must be
offered a program (which includes not
alone theories and distractions about
political and social freedom, but also
practical solution of economic diff
ficulties," Zaritsky states, adding that
this is the task of enlightened lead
ers of industry and enlightened lead
ers of labor"
New Attitude Asked
"Organized labor is one of the great
constructive forces Of our country .
the labor leader declares, but it has

most importance. We maintain that
labor has contribution to make in
every aspect of war production, not
merely in such fields as labor disputes
and labor management committees"
Complete cooperation of all groups
"does not prevail in the present
framework of the War Production
Board" the council said. 1t went on
to emphasize the urgency of giving
labor an adequate voice and added:
''The executive council, in demand
ing that labor members be placed ac-
lively on all these committees, does so
for the reason that their actions have
direct bearing on the welfare of the
entire working population of the ma
ton.
Concessions Unacceptable
at is true there have been conces-
sions made to the point that labor is
recognized as observers in some of
the proceedings of these committees
but in view of their far-spread effect
this is wholly inadequate and unac.
ceptable.
Labor participation is not achieved
when any single individual or group
of individuals in the WPB decide to

The Cincinnati District Office of
the Office of Price Administration to-
day instituted proceedings to revoke
or suspend the gasoline rations of "A
residents of Cincinnati and vicinity
who have been convicted by the Mu-
nicipal Courts of Cincinnati and
Norwood of speeding in violation of
the nationwide speed limit since the
advent of gasoline rationing. At the
same time, the local OPA Office took
two other steps in an effort to curb
speeding. 1t sent to Local Rationing
Boards the names of approximately
335 other persons with certifications
of the fact of their conviction of
speeding, with instructions to the
Boards to take such action by way of
revoking or suspending their gasoline
rations as the Board might deem ap-
propriate. In addition, it sent to every
Municipal Court, Mayor and Justice
of the Peace in the Cincinnati District
(Which includes the ten counties of
Adams, Brown, Clermont, Clinton,
Butler, Highland, Scioto, Lawrence,
Hamilton, Warren) request that
those officials certify to the Cincinnati
Office the names and addresses of all
persons who have been convicted of
speeding by that court since Decem-
Der 10, 1912, together with further
certifcations of future convictions as
they occur.

can't let them down now. No, food
chains will not fold up. People
must be fed Organized distribu-
tors must feed them in times like
these"
This attitude is typical of the
entire organized retail distribution
industry. 1t explains in large
measure why so far the buying
public has hardly felt the effect
of war Retailers have managed
10 keep an unbroken flow of neces-
sites moving to consumers. They
know that maximum war produc-
ton depends on their continuing
effort.
At present the government is
attempting to limit the price OF
goods the merchant sells, without
effectively limiting the cost of pro-
duction of these goods. Even a
school child is taught the folly of
such reasoning.

NERVES, PATIENCE
SHATTERED

There seems to be prevalent
lotion that retail distributors can
operate like agencies of govern
nent-regardless of profit. Cell,
ings and roll back prices are
tossed at them in withering clouds
and margins are damned. While
one government authority is play
ing with prices, another stops the
production of everything from
clothes pins to refrigerators. To
linch the case, a few szars step
IN and swing uncoordinated hay
makers at trained retailer person
mel, with the result that of the Ar
my doesn't get experienced store
; employees, the shipyards do. In
spite of it all, the merchant, as the
only source through which the
civilian population can be fed and
clothed, is supposed to carry on
as usual.
In response to queries on the
effect of latest price ceilings and
other government DEGREES, one
food chain representative remark
ed: "You asked what food distri
butors are thinking. Their ner
ses. their patience, are shattered.
The first impulse MAY be to fold
up-but they recognize a respon-
sibility to the public, to their as
sociates and employees, to their
stockholders. The loyalty. faith
IL patronage and service OF these
people may have made their re-
tirement-escape from abuse

then. But medical science man

development. Planes and men fight

of seconds.
