Ohio Sales Tax
Opposed BY OSFL
Executive Bodrd
Will Support Any Equitable
Proposition To Replace
It. However

Columbus, Ohio The Executive
Board of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor met here November II, and took
up several matters referred to it by
the OSFL convention held in August.
The question of taking a stand on
the state sales tax, referred to the
Board by the convention, was settled
by the adoption of a resolution con-
demning the tax as vicious and highly
unfair because it takes millions of
dollars annually from those least able
TO pay it," In reatiirming its opposition
to Il general sales tax, the Board went
on record as favoring any equitable
tax proposition to replace it.
resolution favOring unity among
the trade unions of the United States,
Great Britain Russia, China and other
countries of the United Nations was
held over for further study until the
next meeting of the board
y resolution calling for increasing
the executive board from nine members
to eleven was not concurred in, the
Board taking the position that it did
not have the power to enlarge itself.
The Board declared itself in full sup
port of SOcialiZed medicine through
which all members of society will be
benefited and properly cared for"

the "pay-as-you-earn tax plan; recog-

If the work that the employee was
engaged in doing at the time of his
injury could be considered as lin fur
such injury would be accepted by the
Industrial Commission as compenSable

If his disability required Il lay-off of

If however, his disability extended
beyond one week, both his medical eX-

In most injury claims filed with the

ceases when the employee leaves such

There are exceptions to this rule

the number of anti-Submarine craft we
had programmed and increasing the
number of the variety of craft required
for amphibiouS operations. That is due
simply to the Improvement in the At
lantic situation with respect 10 sub
marines, and to the increased need for
additional landing craft for amphibiouS
work.
Union workers in shipyards will be
called upon by the Navy TO rush pro
duction of the new craft. With tn"
Navy carrying the war to the enemy
in all parts of the world, the need for
such craft has grown in leaps ana

Industry Spokesman Bldrnes
Mdnpower Shortage On
Military Demands

NdSlllllSIOD, ~. I. lJLNSD. - lie
continued drive of the military services
to increase their already huge totals
Of men is more and more proving a
factor in the growing shortage of man
power on the railroads and in other
vital war industries
This was Indicated here by industry
spOkeSmen, who urged Government aid
i'm getting additional workers. Their
appeals recalled the American Fedora
ton of Labor warning last March that
war production would suffer if the
campaign to build up an excessively
large Army and Navy was not halted.
As the industry spokesmen revealed
the serious manpower situation, ii was
stated that the Army is now lowering
its sights on military manpoWer needs.
This was seen here as perhaps herald
ing Il substantial modification of mill
tary manpower demands.
ManpOwer Demands Cut
Maj. Gen. T. A. Terry, head of the
2nd service command at Governor 5
Island, y. y. told the New York Stat"
.CIO convention at Buffalo:
The Army has reduced its demand
for military manpower by more than
half Il million. This was achieved by a
careful analysis of every position
where soldier could be spared. The
defensive installations i'm the western
hemisphere will be reduced by approx
mately $4,000 men and an additional
10000 will be saved by reductions in
overhead and in our replacement AMI
school programs"
Charles II. Buford, Association of
American Railroads official, told the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee that the chief needs of the railroads
were more steel and manpoWer. He
blamed the increase in train derail-
mentS on an insufficient supply of steel
rail
The railroads needed Approximately
100000 more workers than they had
been able to obtain. Buford testified. II"
laid the manpOwer shortage 10 loss of
men to the armed forces and to other
industries
Over 100000 Men Taken
Since the war began more than 200
GOO railroad employees had enlisted OF
been drafted. The railroads were try
Ing TO meet the problem by employing
women and now had more than 100000
working for them, aS. compared with
about 10000 i'm normal times.
Appeals for help on the manpoWcr
shortage in the packing industry came
from western members of the House
of Representatives, who asked high
government officials to act at once 10
relieve Il "bottencck" in the packing
house situation in the West and Pacific
Northwest.
The delegates, including Representa-
tivcS White of Idaho, and IIoran and
Holmes of Washington, StockwcIl of
Oregon and Rockwell of Colorado de
cIared that labor shortages and the
seasonal peak for meat and hogs had
seriously impoded work in the packing
house yards. Higher wages in other
industries had attracted packing house
workers, they said and the gIut of live
stock in the yards was forcing breeders
To return animals to the farms.
SO serious has the labor situation be
come in the West Coast airplano plants
that the Selective Service system has
revealed plans To defer necessary
workers from military service to pre-
