Capsizes in Heavy Sea
Only II of 2e Aboard
Reached Shore Alive
In Coos Boy Disaster

MARSHFIELD. Greg. Feb. pa
Navy minesweeper capsized in heavy
seas off Coos Bay Saturday with a
loss of dead and 10 missing, the
18th Naval District announced yes
terday.
Only II of 90 aboard reached
shore alive. Sixteen were picked out
of the tossing Pacific by a Coast
Guard surf boat and fishing craft,
but seas were running so high they
were unable to land for about "a
hours. Five Of the rescued, injured
in the capSizing and suffering from
exposure in the open Coast Guard
boat, died during the night.
The mineSweeper's commander
1t, Carl F. Leitz, was among the sur
vivors
Names of the dead and missing
we're withheld pending information
to their next OF kin
The m1neSweeper was returning
from patrol off the Oregon coast to
It's base at Coos Bay at 4:45 pm.
Witnesses said it wallowed through
mountainous waves to within a
quarter mile of the harbor entrance,
where a huge comber tipped it over.
The fishing boat, the Five Broth
ers, headed for the minesweeper.
Huge breakers stopped rescue by all
other craft except the Coast Guard
boat.
Navy planes from the Coos Bay
section base searched for survivors.
That night they dropped medical
supplies to the rescue craft by para
chute
The rescue boats tried once to
cross the heaving bar into the bay
and again to land south of the har-
Dor entrance at South Cove. Finally
they headed south for Port Oxford.
where the men were landed Sunday.
As waves battered the mine
sweeper in toward the beach, the
craft righted itself just before it ran
aground. 1t lay in breakers south of
the harbor entrance today. Comdr.
w. r. Brust of the section base said
an attempt would be made to search
the hulk for bodies.

Union Security

Union security, one of the principal
foundations upon which strong unionism is
based, is now under fire in Washington,
where the Smith committee has turned its
guns on the National Labor Relations
Board for ordering maintenance of union
membership in cases before the Board.
Claiming that the directives ordering
maintenance of membership are in viola
ton of the Wagner act, the Smith commit
tee has set out to do deliberate job of
sabotage, not only on the unions, but on
the National War Labor Board, which de-
cides the union eases.
What the final outcome Of the efforts
of the Smith committee will be is doubtful,
yet il must appear to every worker that
the unions are under fire from all sides in
Washington, and that no efforts are being
spared to weaken them as much as pos
sibIe before the war has ended.
In view of the increasing attacks on
labor in Washington and the willingness
of Congress TO go along with everything
that is harmful TO labor, and oppose legis-
lation which would be beneficial TO the
workers, labor must organize its forces
for the political struggle of 1874.
Next years election will be the most
important in this country since Roosevelt
was elected II will determine to a consid
cradle extent labOr's future for many
years to come.

New War Developments

If the pattern followed by past war
conferences of the heads of the United
Nations still holds true, we should soon
witness some new developments in the war
to force Germany TO her knees and in
crease the pressure upon Japan.
There is every reason to believe that
Germany cannot last many more months
under the unceasing hammering of the
combined land, sea and air forces of the
Allies, but the war in the Pacific viii very
likely continue for months 10 come.
The important thing is not to take too
much for granted, but TO continue along
the same path we have been following, a
path which may appear lot brighter as
we enter our third year of the war, be-
cause Of the many victories which we have
gained. The war is not over. Let us get
on with 1t.

New Union Sfafion

Toledo has been and still continues 10
he one of the nations outstanding indus
trial cities. 1t is a leader in the glass in
dustry, possesses a beautiful and growing
civic center group of buildings and i'm
proved grounds, has one of the finest art
museums in the country, the second or
third largest geological garden in America,
dozens of railroad lines, beautiful schools
and churches. Yet, despite all these assets,
Toledo is known to the casual traveller as
the "city with the broken down Union
Station"
Efforts to get the New York Central
railroad to keep the promise made just be-
fore World War ] closed, meets with the
approval of every public-spirited citizen of
Toledo, for the present eye-sore, which
has been blot upon the reputation of this
city and an ugly scar on the land 1t occu-
pies. has disgraced this city on nation
wide scale.
With all the profits which the rail-
roads have made and are making, and To-
Iedo has been a great contributing factor
to the gravy train the roads are riding, 1T
would seem that now is the time for the
New York Central to make some definite
commitments for building a new and mod
ern station and do its part for the post
war era in which it is as vitally interested
,e ,v,,v othar business
Toledo has been good to the railroads.
II has contributed as much or more than
cities like Columbus or Dayton or other
cities throughout this section of the
country.
Not only is the present Union Depot
disgrace to Toledo, which cannot help but
prejudice the public Of this and other cities
who are forced to use it; but it is bigger
disgrace to the railroad which maintains it.
After 80 years of prOcrastination,
broken promises and plain malarkey, the
people of Toledo are not going to listen to
any more glib railroad officials but seek
action where il will count in the Ohio Pub
lie Utilities Commission. That is all to the
good. and the workers of Toledo back the
action with their demands. LET'S HAVE
A NEW UNION STATION.

There are dozens of cases where we have assisted

/ wish that some of those who have very little
knowledge of unions could observe the work which
some of the Units of Local II, and other unions
are doing. / wish they could see the gifts and
baskets which send to our own and other
people who in need of such things. / wish
they could observe the work which the shop well

Nor is it only the sick and injured who we
try to take of and see that they receive the
proper attention, and compensation to which
they are entitled We have also aided the orphans
and widows Of our workers and on more than
one occasion paid the funeral expenses of
those whose families unable to stand the
financial burden of buryng their dead.
KEEP IT QUIET
When writer's like Pegler and his kind who
make their living hating labor, tell what they
hate about labor unions, they mention any
of the things which have been mentioned here.
They would rather keep quiet about these things;
but that is the sort of thing which union is
doing and is just one of the reasons why it is
growing and creating good impression amonga
fair-minded people.
/ recommend that all the Locals and Units
the UAWCIO make every effort to make their
welfare committees live organizations doing good
lob for their fellow members and insofar as it is
possible, for non-members whom they can assist.
1t is my hope that work of the kind mentioned
in the beginning of this article can be increased,
that more chairs can be given the crippled chill
dren; that aid be given old persons seeking
increased pensions that those in need of care and
attention be given aid.
While / am about it, | want to take this OPP
portunty to urge every member of the Union
to give generously to the Old Newsboys Good
fellow newspaper sale which will be held in the
shops on Friday, Dec. II. This is worthy cause
which we can all give our support All it takes
