deal of the Democratic campaign
activity may be said to be due TO
the CLIO. But don't tell this to the
regular Democratic organization. It's
touchy subject with the Demo-

Hillman- Browder Label Hurts.
In fact the Roosevelt Hillman-
Browder label tied to the Demo-
cratic national ticket is not helping
the President in his campaign in
this State. The more radical the
Democratic ticket shows, the more
trouble, California has been faced
on many occasions in the past with
its "ham-and-eggs' propositions

and on each occasion the people
have rallied and defeated these rad
ical proposals, though sometimes by
a small margin.

the Army of organized labor, either

is predicted the two incumbent Re-
publican members of the House
Representatives Rolph and WEIGH
will be reelected, no matter how
the presidential election goes. Mr.
Rolph is popular and represents q

sentative. His Democratic opponent
I is Frank Havenner, former member
OF the House, now a member Of the
Railroad Commission here. Mr.
WEIGH is practically without oppo-
sition, since he won both the Demo-

Steel Co. have been ordered by the
War Labor Board Shipbuildine
Commission, it was announced last
night. r req
The yards covered by the order

A general wage increase for ship
building workers was denied by the
WLB in July, 1943, but review was
ordered to correct any intraplant
inequities. Today's order is the eul-
mination of that review.
The CIO Industrial Union of Ma
rine and Shipbuilding Workers of
America represents the workers of
the eight yards.
Approximately so per cent of the
workers will receive some wage ad-
justment as result of the decision,
which makes the new rates retro
active to June 23, 1943.
The increase will result in a 2 per
cent advance in the yards annual

There have been many discus

ing to do for the men returning
from war.
1T looks to us as if the natural
thing to do when we start to work
on civilian basis again Is to give
the servicemen preference. We in
tend to do this in our plants and
we hope that other employers will
do the same.
After all, people have made a

clared the choice of temporary

in position to veto the choice of

they thought they could count on
