In another way General Meagher
was favored. He knew his destination.
Had others known theirs, they would
have gladly followed the canal" of
the Missouri, to Fort Benton. Perhaps
General Meagher's aversion to taking
this route was due to Celtic warning
that the Missouri was to be his final
resting place, as he fell from a Mis-
souri, steamboat, at Fort Benton, July
1, 1867, and was drowned His body
was never recovered.

Army Accused Of
Boring Anfi-Faseisfs
From Combat Duty
BY Federated Press

NEW YORK-Seasoned Ameri-
can anti-fascist fighters are being
herded into army work camps in
the United States along with Nazis,
Fascists and Japanese sympathiz-
ers, the Veterans of the Abraham
Lincoln Brigade asserted March 5.
Today approximately 500 of the
veterans who fought Hitler's forces
in Spain are in the armed forces
and an additional 800 are in the
merchant marine, Jack Bioze, ex-
ecutiye secretary Of the Veterans,
says. But, according to Bjoze, the
fighting records of these men
translated into army language
emerge as "disloyal and subver-
sive activities"
ut has become quite clear"
Bjoze wrote in a letter to President
Roosevelt, "and even admitted in
certain quarters of the army, that
members of the Abraham Lincoln
Brigade are to be barred from
combat duty and from advance
ment in the Army. A number of
veterans have been separated from
their combat units and transferred
to camps together with Fascists,
Nazis and pro-Japanese elements" +"

How TO Sove Money
And Lose Production

BALTIMORE-The Bethlehem
Fairfield Shipyards suspended 500
workers for one day here allegedly
to punish them for punching out
within one minute of quitting time
but actually at considerable
profit to the company.
Despite management claims that
it was merely a coincidence, the
day picked to chastise the workers
happened to be Saturday when
workers receive time-and- half
wage rates.
Business Agent Parious Slee-
zanis of Local 43, Industrial
Union Of Marine & Shipbuilding
Workers (CIO), commented: "We
do not think that laying off of
welders, pipefitters, painters and
burners for today is the answer to
the critical shipbuilding problem
now"

When called by the editor of the
Toledo Union Journal at his home,
Mr.. Graumlich said that he did not
know if the Journal could get a
copy of the transit commissioners
report or not, as "the copies avail
able are limited" When asked by
the Journals editor, "Do you mean
to say that we are not entitled to
a copy of that report?" Graumlich
said, "No, ! don't mean to say that

see to it that the Journal received

Other Council Business
Council discussed the gas short
age and asked that the city man
ager take precautions to prevent
the city being caught without any
warning in the future.
City Auditor Rudy Klein asked
for permission to transfer $4,000
from the general fund to the Poor
Relief Fund to balance the 1912
deficit; but Councilman Etchen ex-
pressed the belief that the matter
should be talked about a little
bit" and asked that the matter be
deferred until the next meeting Of
Council. Council voted to hold the
matter over and talk about it next
meeting.
In an opinion from the law de-
partment, the occupancy tax on
places of business discussed at last
weeks Council meeting can be lev

assistant city law director.
Approved by Council was an
ordinance to designate certain in
tersections as stop streets; ap-
proved complete storm sewers, vot-
ed against by Etchen and Jurrus.

embarrassing to more effete mem

claim patriotism greater than

Draft Labor
Bill Attacked
Called Measure OF
Desperation"
By Federated Prtss

WASHINGTON-AFL and ClO
members Of the Management La
Dor Policy committee of the War
Manpower Commission issued a
Joint statement March 3 describ-
ing the Austin Wadsworth bill to
draft labor as a measure of des-
peration" to be vigorously opposed
by labor as a blow to the war pro-
gram.
The members are Clinton S,
Golden, Walter Reuther and John
Green Of the CIO, and Frank Fen
ton, Joseph McDonagh and George
Masterson of the AFL.
The VINO has been struggling
valiently to meet all the facets Of
the manpower problem but there
are problems beyond its control
which call for establishment of a
central coordinated and civilian
control of manpower, production,
civilian economy and chronological
mobilization agencies, they said.
This is offered in the Tolan-Kil-
gore-Pepper bill. The draft bill Of
fers no plan at. all.
THE issue is not at all compul-
sion as against a voluntary pro-
gram" they said. "The issue is
whether we are to approach our
interrelated production and man
power problems on a basis of
planned organization or whether
we are simply to exercise power
without planning and understand
ing.

of invincibles which thrives on
scorn and which is known, as the
"unorthodox." Indeed, he has
qualified for Captaincy.
Imagine this gentlemen (and l
picture him as meek little fell
low) being dragged off to have
culture stuffed in his ears, i'm
measurably bored, not by the
music which was undoubtedly ex-
cellent; but by the hypocricy, the
pomp and circumstance of his sur
roundings. And then at last, one
day upon entering the lobby Of the
Metropolitan, terrible temptation
seized him and with devilish grin
on his countenance, he upended
himself and stood on his head! I
would give much to know man
of this calibre.
The article goes on to state that
Mrs. Knight was awarded care of
their two minor children. Certainly
no judge in his right mind would
entrust these two tender infGnts to
the custody of such ar irresponsi-
BILE individual as Mr.. knight had
proven himself. imagine these
children going through life, with
their playmates gathering in little
groups and whispering, Their
daddy, he's the one who.
WHAT BECAME OF KNIGHT
catch myself wondering what
ever became Of Mr.. Knight. Is he
broken, detected man wandering
the streets alone at night, Stunned,
despised, an outcast from the So
ciety which he has affronted? 1t
is to be noted that NJ. Knight did
not appear in court to contest the
decree. Well he knew the futility
of any defense on his part. He had
ventured from the straight ann
narrow. He had desecrated I'd
sanctum of the wealthy. He hs
committed the greatest of sacri-
leges. r.
Fear not, oh noble soul, for as
you wander through the darkness,
many kindred spirits march beside
you, saluting, thumbs to nose, the
shams of our humdrum existance.
They are men, not sheep. They are
not afraid to break new trails.
They are not fettered by the
shackles of stupid traditions, and
you are one of them, for para
doxically, you have through this
undignified act upheld the dignity
of the individual. You have freed
yourself from society's regimen
tation. HAIL TO THEE Mr..
KNIGHT. THOU ART A HERO.
In parting, l have but one
thought that distrubs me:
Did you, or did you not remove
your high silk hat before pressing
your pate against the sacred Me-
tropolitan pavement.

One morning Guild members
saw a police car draw up at the
New York Sun, where they were
distributing organizing leaflets. A
police sergeant, wearing a van
dyke beard, jumped out and en-
tered the Sun building. When he
returned, the Guildsmen wanted to
know what was up. The officer re-
piled:
saw, the management said you
people were blocking the entrances.
l told them you weren't. And then
l asked them: Besides, you don't
want to interfere with the freedom
of the press, do you'?"

UAW. They realize that the UAW
has, on every occasion, proven it
self capable of representing the
workers interest and has done so
consistently"
JAW Democratic Organization
Propaganda being distributed by
the AFL to the effect that the
workers at Aviation Products are
dissatisfied is principally product
of wishful thinking on the part of
AFL business agents, according
to employees of the Stickney Ave.
plant. One employe stated the
case when he said, "There are a
few disgruntled people who, be-
cause of personal ambitions, are
trying to make it appear that plant
employees are not satisfied with
Local IL. The fact is that most of
the people at the plant are not
only willing to have Local II ham
die our affairs, but prefer it to
the AFL, which up to the present
cannot point to single thing it
has accomplished for the workers
in any Toledo plant"
Auto-Lite committee members
are pointing out that the master
contract (Which is being reprinted
in each issue Of the Toledo Union
Journal) is the same one which in
spired workers at the Mather
Spring, Burt's Foundry, Industrial
Rubber, Kent-Owens and many
other Toledo plants to throw out
the AFL contract which few en-
ployes knew or understood and to
accept the UAW-CIO as bargaining
agent.
AFL Protection" Gets Laugh
Claims made by the AFL that
Aviation Products employees have
asked for AFL protection" is get
ting many laughs from officers
and members of Local II, who are
asking, "Whom did the. AFL ever
protect and when?"
Edward Duck, educational direc-
tor of Local IL, when told that the
AFL wanted to protect Aviation
Products employees" said, What
the AFL wants to protect is its
rapidly dwindling membership,
which is leaving shop by shop for
the UAW-CIO. What can the AFL
offer the workers now that it has
not offered them before, except
dictatorial organization to which
they pay high dues and which gives
them contract they can't under
stand, and leadership so years be-
hind the times? ?"
Local IL Is Willing
Local II officers have expressed
themselves willing to give the AFL
consent election at Aviation
Products and to again hand the
AFL another defeat to add to the
growing list of such defeats in
every shop in which an election
contest has taken place.
Robert Guncheon, chairman of
the Auto-Lite union committee,
commenting on the AFL election
request, summed up Local 12's at
titude when he said, "We have
defeated the AFL so many times
it isn't funny, They are asking for
another beating, and we are con-
vineed we can give it to them, as
long as they want it."
NLRB hearings on the AFL
election request have not yet been
set but Local II has no objections
to the election any time it may be
ordered

mittee's hearing on the Johnson

stick methods providing for
bosses in plants doing business
with the navy to report all cases
of absenteeism not authorized in
advance to selective service boards
there was surprise.
Land Endorses Measure
For there was-none other than
Admiral Emory S. Land, head of
the War Shipping Administration.
He endorsed the measure, the first
public official to do so.
Land gave formal credit to la
Dor leaders who have given "con-
siderable cooperation" in efforts
to curtail absenteeism, but his EN-
phasis was in the other direction,
He said SAC Of the 2,3S9,000 man
hours lost in the week ending Jan
Is were unexplained" and "that
means 100 Liberty ships per an
num-"
He said "illegitimate absentee
ism is first cousin to slackerism
and added, "In the opinion of the

the War Shipping Administration

materially in preventing such alb,
sences."

Organized labor is as desiriou,
as anyone can be to eliminate alb
senteeism to the vanishing point,
said Alias. Attempting to reacI
absenteeism by legislation is pro
viding cure that is really worse
than the disease"
Only by labor management co
operation could the real cure b,
applied, he said.
