Murray Urges
Equal Rights

CHICAGO, Ill. - Immediate
extension of full and equal
rights to all Americans was
urged by CIO President Philip
Murray in his appearance be-
fore the Democratic Convention
Resolutions Subcommittee here
last week.
1.-The ,CIO stands for full and
true democracy" stated Murray,
who. spoke for the 100000 CIO
membership. ut opposes all dis
elimination, whether in civilian
life or in the armed forces, and
it endorses all measures neces-
sary to assure full economic, po-
litical and civil equality to
every American.
Murray declared that "the
civil and economic rights and
the freedoms which Americans
are defending with their blood
upon the battlefield and which
we strive to make stronger and
more perfect here at home must
be guaranteed to all Americans
without distinction by reason of
race, creed or color-without
regard to sex or racial, cultural
or economic background"

This important war eeq
will be the scene of the
veterans service center to
set up in the U. S.
Located in a central part of
town, the center will house

Hunting Aids Ro+ioning

LANSING, July 81 - Over
1917 million pounds of point
free edible meat was taken by
hunters and trappers in Michi-
gan last year, according to con-
servation department figures.
The total of 6,808 tons of meat
was 800 tons greater than the
1912 take.
Largest increases in the 1943
take of games animals were of
muskrats, racoons and oppos-
sums. Lowered take of rabbits,
hares, ruffed and sharptailed
grouse, and prairie chicken re-
flected cyclical declines in pop
ulations, according to depart
ment game authorities. Fox and
gray squirrels and coot also
were taken in smaller numbers.
Total 1943 take was an esti-
mated 1857, $50 pounds of
dressed meat; that for 1912 was
13, ,198,887 pounds.

Ward Agrees To
Overtime For Two
Detroit Unions

WASHINGTON (FP)-Mont-
gomery Ward g. Co., which
doesn't particularly like unions,
was moved July 26 to join with
two of them in applying for au-
thority from the Natl. War La
Dor Board to pay time and a
half to its workers who put in
over 40 hours a week.
The WLB approved the Joint
application, retroactive to Sept.
%, l943, to employees in Wards S
retail warehouse at Detroit.
Involved in the case are the
Intl. Bro. of Teamsters (AFL)
and the M & w Servicemen' s
Assn. (unaffiliated). No over
time rate has ever been paid in
the past in the Ward warehouse,
so the action is definite vic
tory for the workers although
the overtime is legally covered
by the Fair Labor Standards
act.

U. S. immigration Laws
Nozi-Like. Harrison Says

WASHINGTON, August / -
(LPA)-Congress is faced with
softly-worded, but sharp
edged criticism of the work of
its committees on immigration,
in the report of Earl c. Harri-
son submitted to Attorney Cen
eral Francis Biddle when he re-
signed recently after two years
as u, S. Commissioners of I'M
migration.
Listing as almost the only dis
appointing experience in his
work as immigration Commis-
sioner the "lamentably" slow
progress" made on changes in
laws, Harrison pointed out that
the Senate committee at the
time he resigned had not met
for months. No answer has been
forthcoming from chairman
Richard B. Russell Cd. Ga.) on
the Harrison statements.

Army verifies
Labor Housing Claim

WASHINGTON, July % -
(FP)-The reiterated contention
of organized labor that the man
power problem is bound up
with housing facilities, trans
portation, in-plant facilities and
child-care programs has been
found correct by the u. S.
Army.
1t. Col. William J Brennan,
chief of the labor branch of the
industrial personnel division,
said July 25 that "the man
power situation has got to be
licked" and that the army has
found that studies of housing,
transport and other factors are
necessary in many cases to find
the causes of difficult shortages.

Army-Navy
Men Stall
Union Plans

SHIN GTON (LPA)-
Army Navy officials on War
Production Boards Production
Executive (PEC) Committee
have stalled temporarily a pro-
gram for protection against cut
backs in the shipbuilding indus
try recently presented to PEG
by CIO and AFL union spokes-
men.
Officials representing the
War and Navy Departments
would take no action on the
union programs. They explained
that they did not feel that they
had the power to make decisions
on such an important problem,
and that the matter would have
to be taken up with "h g h r
officials"
Labor representatives h V e
been assured of a hearing be-
fore the appropriate admirals at
the Navy Department. These
hearings are expected to take
place in the near future.
Special Significance -
The action of Army-Navy
representatives on the commit
tee has special significance for
the future, labor officials here
have been quick to point out.
The Pee has been authorized by
War Mobilization Dire-c o +
Byrnes as the major body to
handle reconversion programs.
Repetition of the action of Ar
my-Navy men on the committee
can stall decisions on each inn
portant industry reconversion
plan presented by labor, One
labor official stated that this
would be in line with the fight
recently conducted by the
brass hats" against Donald
Nelson's first reconversion or
ders.
The stalled AFL and CIO pro-
posals for shipbuilding include;
/. Evening out of production
among various yards so that no
one yard or section of the coun-
try is hit harder than another.
2. When cutbacks start t,
graveyard shifts be eliminated
first, then the shifts should be
cut from 10 to 8 hours. A third
step would be abolition of the
second shift and institution of
the 40-hour week.
3. At least so days notice of
cutbacks or cancellations must
be given organized labor and
management by the government
agencies involved.

Ford Umpire
Rules On Lody
In Red

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich, -
(FP)-This is the story of a
lady in red and the Ford umpire
who handed down an official
opinion on a fact of life.
The girl, a member of Local
600, United Auto Workers, CIO,
was reprimanded and docked a
half hour because she wore red
slacks to work in the Highland
Park plant.
The color of the slacks was
a hazard to safety and produc-
ton, the Ford Motor Co. claim
ed, contending the bright color
had a tendency to distract the
attention of employees, particu-
larly that of the male employees.
Understand, it was the color of
the slacks she was penalized
for, not the slacks themselves,
since all girls are required to
wear them at work here.
Union Makes Protest
The union protested and the
umpire set out to investigate if
the Lady in Red was being
treated unfairly He found out
that some girls wore bright
green slacks, with no objection
from the management, and that
there was no effort at specifi-
ton of other articles of cloth
ing, or the fit thereof, which
might be equal seductive of
employees attention.
Ruled the umpire: "It is COM
mon knowledge that wolves, un-
like bulls, may be attracted by
colors other than red and by
various other enticements in the
art and fit of female attire. !"
The girl got her half-hour pay
back, the company's reprimand
was stricken from the record,
the company was told: That is
not the way to prescribe or en-
force rules of conduct" and
red Slacks may still be worn at
the Highland Park plant.

A Republican triumph, how
ever, would mean its salvation,
he predicts. In either case, Dies
won't be around. BY popular
request he's retired from the

Dies visited this community

AS usual, the Texas smear
master pounced on the CIO

And, as usual, Dies didn t
bother to call in members of
the Orleans parish political ac-
ton committee or the CLOS
regional director. After his lin
vestigation" he promised the
movement and its directors
would be unmasked at a public
hearing in the fall.
The Orleans PAC challenged
Dies to make his inquiry open
and in resolution urged that
Dies submit himself to ques-
tioning, relative to his part IN

siana conspiracy to destroy the

Boby Deafhs Lowest
In History

WASHINGTON, August / -
UPA)--A phenomenal fall" in
the number Of babies that die
at birth as we'll as in maternal
mortality, has been announced
here by the Children's Bureau
of the Department of Labor.
While there has been a drop
in the number of infant deaths
each year since 1887, the Chill
dren's Bureau reports show an
especially gratifying fall from
the 194l figure of 41.9 to 49.9
per thousand live births.
Part of the credit is given by
some authorities to the mater
nifty and infant benefit pro-
gram for families of service
men, the appropriation for
which was increased this year
by Congress on the urging of
CIO and AFL, as well as many
social welfare groups.

Spending
Your Buck
Local IL Research Dept.

Rent increases are on the
way. This was insured by the
weakening of the price control
act when congress in its hurry
to get home and look after the
political pastures, let the Grip
pling amendments get by with
out a fight.
Congress in an expansive
mood Ito the landlords) changed
the law so that it is now pos
sible for a landlord to increase
his rents if he can show that his
operating expenses have gone
up.
Since the price control act
went into effect two years ago,
OPA figures show that about
100000 applications for rental
increases have been received by
that agency. Approximately
100000 increases were granted.
Now, with the new law grant
ing loopholes that the landlords
will not be long in finding, OPA
officials expect about 1,500, 900
requests for rent increases from
owners. If approximately so per
cent of the increases were
allowed before the new law, it
is a safe bet that at least the
same percent will be allowed
now, and the chances are that
the percent of allowed increases
will be greater.
One OPA official has esti-
mated that the national rent bill
will increase by as much as
$100,000,000 in the next year.
Of course, that isn't infla-
tionary, not for the workers;
but have no fear, the War Labor
Board will keep your wages
frozen and your wage increases
will not be inflationary.

WLB To Seek
Formula Date

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (FP)
ALL labor unions throughout
the nation were invited July 25
to submit data and briefs to
support the contention that the
Natl. War Labor Board should
modify the Little Steel Formula.
The invitation came in for
NAL resolution adopted by the
WLB to speed up the offering
of evidence to show how the
Little Steel formulas restric-
ton on labor's wages is Great
ing gross inequities.
Under terms of the new reso-
luton, which calls for speedy
action by labor in getting the
data or briefs to the WLB in
Washington, it agrees to con.
slider the evidence and decide
whether or not it would be war
ranted in carrying the investi-
cation further.
Unions Offer Evidence
1t will be recalled that the
AFL formally offered its evil
dence in an extended hearing
before which many of its top
officials testified for both the
national AFL and many of its
international affiliates. Then
concurrently came the opening
of the case of the United Steel
workers CIO which ran through
from last March to just a few
weeks ago, with the union and
the steel corporations piling up
a massive record.
All unions with cases pend
ing before the WLB can offer
evidence against the Little Steel
formula under terms of the
resolution. which also provides
that the processing of pending
wage dispute cases shall pro-
ceed on the basis of existing
wage stabilization policy. This
means the Little Steel formula
will hold until it is ordered
changed, but that the wag~
question could be reopened if
there is a change in the national
wage policy.

of VINO.
Asked by an LPA reporter
whether higher wages and bet
ter conditions would help solve
needs in certain industries
which VINO has termed crit
ical," the VINO director indi-
Gated that this would help. Of
course, it was quickly pointed
out, War Labor Boards adj
herence to the Little Steel
Formula" at present is check
ing such actions.
A letter from War Manpower
Commissioner Paul V. McNutt
to all members of the VINO
staff added to the controversy
here over the seriousness of the
manpower shortage, and the
need for strict controls over all
workers. He said in the letter,
dated July 19. ''The overall
manpower picture is mislead-
ing. There is plenty of man and
woman-power to meet every
need; but it is not properly dis
tributed and allocated."
McNutt called for recruiting
from less critical to more critic
al regions of 10000 workers in
the remainder OF July and Aug
ust. Approximately $4,000 are
needed for a vast secret project;
$4,000 for shipbiulding; 1900
for ship repairs; 1900 for air.
craft; $500 for construction
projects; and the rest for forges
and foundries, logging and lum-
ber, chemicals and petroleum, !"
McNutt said in listing the need
for migrant workers. Many of
these jobs are in "out of the
way places, where wages are
lower and working conditions,
