Stressing the growing dissatisfaction
in organized labor with the govern

representatives of the American Fed

Industrial Organizations unions de-
manded effective action to roll back
prices and relaxing of rigid prohibi-
tions on ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Meeting at Unity House, the unions
Summer home at Forest Park, Pa, the
executive board of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union, ALL
headed by David Dubinsky, adopted
resolutions declaring that Congress
faces duty and Il compelling obliga-
ton to roll back prices to the levels
of year ago, by subsidies to whole,
salerS and professors if necessary.
A resolution adopted by the l. L.
G. w. L. board pointed out that Eng
land and Canada have succeeded il
holding commodity prices in check by
means of government subsidies anG
nave thereby aided in eXterminatin9
black markets.
Labor alone cannot be expected t.
hold the line successfully, and unrest
and tension cannot be solved by re
pressive legislation the resolution de
clared.
The resolution also called on Presi
dent Roosevelt and the Office of Wal
Mobilization, headed by James f
Byrnes, to restore to the War Labor
Board its original powers, together
with Il flexible policy that would per

Tobin Bids Public

Peoples Right And Govern.
ment's Duty To See That
All Stay On Job

Chicago.-Daniel j. Tobin, president
of the International brotherhood of
Transfers, in sharp reference to
John l.. Lewis and the United Mine
Workers of America, said that it was
the public's right and the governments S
duty to demand that every man remain
on his job.
Mr.. Tobin spoke at the dedication of
the new "Victory Place on the La
Sale Street side of the City Hall.
Less than one-tenth of / per cent
of the toilers of America are on strike
at this time, eliminating one organ
ization," said Mr.. Tobin. "And they
will be back to work Monday morning,
and | am satisfied they will not cease
work again.
1T is the duty of the government
and the right of the people to demand
that every man stay on his job during
this crucial period of the war.
"Of course, l recognize that many
conditions arise that are quite irrt-
able. But we have government ma
chinery, that labor helped to set up
to adjust differences and miSunder-
standings. This machinery must be re-
sorted to. 1t is the only way that mis-
understandings should be settled
Mr.. TObin asserted that ''sOme insti
tutions of government" were hindering
the prosecution of the war, and sug
gested that Congress adjourn for &
year.
"They are obstructing labor" ht
declared.

Lewis Move For AFL
Reuffiliution Welcomed
By Garment Workers

New York City CLNS). An edi-
toral in Justice, official organ of the
international Ladies' Garment Work
crS Union welcomed the step taken by
John l.. Lewis and his United Mine
Workers for realliliation with the
American Federation of Labor and
deridcd as "unadulteratcd bunk the
suggestion that Lewis is planning TO
use the Af'L to serve his own political
purposes.
The editorial was made public in ad-
vance of publication as representing
the views of David DubinSky, prcsi-
dent and other officials of the garment
workers union.
Discussing the suggestion that the
return of the miners to the AFL would
rctard peace with the Gro "aS a
body" the Justice editorial took the
position that there was Il good deal
of substance to it, in that Lewis would
seek to keep the CommuniStic element
in the CIO far outside the periphery
of the trade union movement
'As we see ii, the suggestion that
John l.. Lewis has decided to rcjoin
the AFL in order To convert il into Il
Republican stronghold in 1914 or into
Il weapon of uflcnSe against the PrcSi-
dent is unaduItcrated bunk" said
Justice. "'rhis, however, is not meant

DECLARES OPA CONTROL
MISERABLE FAILURE"

Meany told his nationwide audience
that, as every housewife in the coun-
try already knows food prices have
SlyIocketed in the last > years to
"diSgracetul heights"
"OPA, i'm so far as food price con
troll is concerned, has been a miserable
failure" he said.
The purchasing power of the
workers dollar in the groceries, meat
markets and vegetable stores of Amer
ica has shrllnk steady and ii is still
Shirking. In other words each dollar
buys progressively less and less And
that situation, as the price admins
traitor himself told us ii few days ago
constitutes iniiatiou.'

Railroads Handle 4 Times AS
Many Troops As In 1917
Six Out of Every Ten Servicemen Moved By Rail In The
First Year of The Present War Travelled In
Special Trains; Handled II Gal 1893 Troops

Although railroads today are oper-
ating with less equipment over fewer
miles of track than in the last war,
they are carrying more passengers
and freight longer distances. In 1912
the ton-miles of revenue freight had
increased So percent over 1917, and
the passenger miles 25 percent. This
was accomplished by running longer
trains, by moving them faster, by
loading cars more heavily and by re-
ducing the time which cars are per-
mitted to spend on sidings under load
or empty. During the first II months
of the present war, the railroads ham
died approximately 41,000,000 tons of
Army freight-about 3 2/3 times the
amount handled in the peak months
of 1918-19.
Today, freight cars do not pile up
at ports, as they did in 1917. At one
time during the last war, more than
100000 freight cars carrying exports
were immobilized at or in back of the
Atlantic seaboard. Today the number
of railway cars waiting to deliver
freight at Atlantic ports rarely ex-
ceeds $4,000.
In 1918 the railways stood prac-
tically alone; the motor bus and truck
industries were in their infancy and
highway operations were a negligible
factor in the nations transportation.
Today, in spite of the rubber shortage,
the motor carriers are doing full
sized job. The Army is now giving
the bus lines about 100000 passengers
per month, and approximately 100000
tons of Army freight are being moved
monthly by commercial trucks.
The fact that no need has yet de-
veloped for tight control over domes-
tic traffic is a source of pride to the
Transportation Corps. Despite the
fact that the railroads of the country
have 100000 fewer cars and 10000
fewer locomotives than they had in
1917 they are nevertheless handling
an all-time high in terms of ton-miles
hauled.

Roosevelt's Veto Is Overridden by
Both Houses In Quick Time
First War Time Action i'm u. S. History Completed Tn
Two Hours After Veto; Senate Overrider Expected;
House Action Even Surprised It's Leaders

Washington, d. C.-(ILNS) Only
few hours after President Roosevelt
had vetoed t he penalty studded
Smith Connally measure as provoca-
tive of more strikes in war industries
Congress had overridden his objec-
tions and written the bill into statute.
The President issued his veto message
at 3:13 p. m. Friday and the Senate
voted at $3.50 and the House at 5:28.
Thus by an overwhelming majority
in both houses the bill became the law
of the land over the veto of the Presi-
dent.
The swift House and Senate rebuff
was the only overrider of a presiden-
tial veto during any war, and the first
time in this Administration that Con-
gress had not hestitated at least day
before legislating over the Presidents
head.

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS) TO
move our fighting men and keep them
fed, clothed, sheltered and equipped
the Army Service Forces employ
more people, own more land, spend
more money, handle more merchan-
disc, and operate over a greater area
than any comparable organization
the world has ever known, the Office
of War Information reports.
More than four times as many
troops were moved by rail within the
United States in the year prior to
December 7, 1912, than in the period
from April 1917 to April 1918. During
the year following Pearl Harbor,
Army freight moved by rail totaled
nearly four times the load during the
peak months, of 1918-19 War mate
rials are moving faster, on longer and
more heavily loaded trains, with less
time spent on sidings, than in the last
war.
During our first year of the last
war, the American railways handled
2,734,527 troops, including inductees.
In the present war, in the year prior
to December 7, 1912, the railways
handled 1854, 1888 troops, or more
than four times as many During last
November alone, the army delivered
more than 100000 troops to the rail
ways for trips ranging up to 5000
miles.
Six out of every ten servicemen
moved by rail in the first year of the
present war travelled on special trains.
For every five passenger cars there
were two baggage or freight cars for
the troops supplies, including large
numbers of gondolas and fiatcars for
trucks, tanks and heavy artillery But
when troops have been moved to
camp, long freight trains must rumble
day and night. Approximately 4,O00,
100000 pounds of varied military
equipment must go every month to
the more than 1,200 Army camps,
posts and stations in this country
where battle training is in progress.
