Meanwhile, labor forces laid the
groundwork for battles to wipe out
vicious ant-union legislation passed in
other states.
In Colorado the State Federation of
Labor held a special convention to map

In Kansas, where an equally drastic
law was put through, a court chal-

From California came word that not
only has anti-labOr legislation been
stymied, but that labor forces have

made from their wages - for SOcial
security, war bonds, commisSarS
charges and any other items, so they
can be protected against chseling

POT-HASH
BY A. POTTER

According to latest reports the pot
ters are really going to town in their
support of the Second War Loan drive.
All of us on the home front must give
until it hurts, which after all is still
just Il small contribution when one
stops to consider what our fine young
men i'm the armed services are giving.
It's going to take plenty of sweat,
blood and money to win this war, so
let us all stay in there and pitch,
putting everything we have on the
ball!
After much unnecessary delay, it
now looks as though we are finally
going to get some kind of pay-as- -yOu-go
tax plan. We won't venture a guess,
but unless it is similar to the Ruml
plan there's going to be plenty of dis
appointed working men throughout
these United States.
Did you hear Rickenbacker'S speech
before the Ohio State Legislature?
Well, if you didn't, you missed one of
the most bitter TRADES ever made
against organized labor. If it We're
left up to this gentleman, everything
that unions stand for would be out
lawed. We hesitate to say just what
we think this man has up his sleeve,
but it looks to us as though he was
firing bullets made by that famous
union-hating organization, the Ma
| tiOnal Manufacturers Association. Or
could it be he has political ambitions?
Could be! However, there is just one
thing we would like to know :.
who's paying the freight for Rick :
junliet around the country?
Are you doing your part in COM
batting the vicious anti-labor bills be-
fore your State Legislature? If you
have not already done so, get out your
pen and ink and write to your repre-
sentative in that governing body. Al
ways remember this is the most eff
fective way for the laboring man to
make his views known. Don't put it
off another minllte-get busy now!

end of the war. He also urged that
conferences to this end should COM
mence at once among representatives,
not only of labor, but of industry,
agriculture, government and the yari-
Gus professions, and that they coop
crate with one another in these studies.
Two Fields OF Study
In recent two-day session held at
AFL headquarters the Postwar Plan
ming Committee decided to divide its
study into two separate but related
tieldS-internation and domestic.
In the domestic field the committee
urges that legislation looking to facili-
tatiOn of the change from war to
peacetime standards should be con-
sidered in planning and providing jobs
for all with Il national income level
to sustain maximum production.
The committee will call for postwar
alike
Peace ObjectiveS Vital
Neither industry nor society, VOL
asserted, can benefit from Il dependent
work force that has undergone the
physical and spiritual decentralization
of unemployment.
In the international field, and com
mencing with the premise that we
must win not only the war but the
peace to follow, Vol stated that the
United Nations have the responsibility
for making war decisions in line with
peace detectives We realize, he stated,
the necessity of military decisions for
the sake of "eXpediency,' but he
cautioned that such procedures and
agreements made during the stress of
war would inevitably affect relation
ships between governments and peoples
in the postwar period. For these
reasons" he continued, military adj
ministration should be replaced as
rapidly as possible by civilian ad-
miniStratiOn.'
"Such administration, he continued
"should include an authority of some
kind which would feed and give other
imperative aid to liberated peoples
period.
Obligation On u. S.
Citing the fact that the United
States has unriyalled economic power
buttressed by financial strength that
makes us the greatest creditor nation
of the world, the committee will call
for recognition of the fact that this
power and wealth place upon us the
obligation to use these resources in a
manner that will bring blessings and
advancement to all.

Three WLB Divisions
Shorn Of Powers
To Decide Cases
BY the Associated + res.

BY the Associated res.
Three of the War Labor Boards
industry wide commissions -
shipbuilding, trucking and non-
ferrous metals were shorn of
their decision making power to-
day.
The WLB reduced them, In effect,
to the status of panels to assure
conformity with the Antistrike Act
and to prevent the upsetting of area
wage rates.
The status OF the boards Lumber
Commission and the Wage Adjust
ment Board for the building con-
struction industry was left un-
changed.
The new law stipulates that no
board member shall be permitted to
participate in a decision in which
he has a direct interest. Labor
members of the three commissions
belong to unions which usually are
involved in cases before those
groups. The new law refers only
to members of the national WLB,
but the board felt that the intent
of the act applies also to subsidiary
commission members.
Commission decisions, always re-
vieWable by the WLB, went into
effect when made and few ever
were reversed. Henceforth, the COM
missions will make recommended
tions only. They will be reviewed
and acted on by the WLB before
becoming effective.
A contributing reason for the
boards decision was complaint in
some quarters that commission de-
cisions, made on an industry wide
basis, sometimes unstabilized the
wage rate pattern Of local areas.
The effect Of such unstabilization is
to inspire wage demands by en-
ployes in other industries in that
area

gether with 1000 attorneys fees.

aside the property agreement as
void, and that Mr.. Judson be re-

signed him and to repay the $4,000.

The pilot was almost helpless in

Then the crew of IL took to their

Only yesterday I returned from

CThe correspondent was aboard
an American destroyer which
took part in the assault on Rem

stages of the operation he re-

that city fell, escaping at the last
moment to Australia)
The Rendova plantation where the
landing was made is a mere Ia
miles from Munda.
In the black days Of the battle for
Guadalcanal the Japanese sent out
five or six transports to point II

lost the lot and most of their equip
