Tell Soldiers Truth About
Labor, JAW Demands

CHICAGO-(FP)-Give the soldiers
the vote and tell them the truth about
organized labor's fight on the home
front for wartime production and post
war security, the midwest district Of
United Auto Workers (CIO) demanded at
its quarterly meeting in Chicago.
Delegates Of 1875 locals in eight states,
representing 1OO,O 600 workers, asked vice
Pres. Henry A. Wallace's denomination
and promised delegations from all locals
to hear him in Milwaukee. Scrapping
of the Little Steel formula so that wages
may be adjusted to the cost of living
was recommended unanimously.
Concerned over the ~anti-labor propa-
ganda which is flooding servicemen, the
district council named a committee to
study ways of putting union labor's posi-
ton before the men on the fighting
fronts.

HITS 'MISLEADERS'
OF RAILROAD LABOR

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-R efusal of
three railroad brotherhood unions to

issue of The Railroad Trainman.
An analysis of the dispute, called Mis-
leaders of Railroad Labor, is the feature

Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen, n
Of the five operating brotherhoods. To-
gether with the Brotherhood Of Loco

presidency in 1910, the Trainman SAID:

NATIONAL SERVICE
ACT SEEN PERILING
SOUTHERN UNIONS

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-FP)-Fear
that the proposed Austin-W adsworth
national service act might wreck the
young southern labor movement and re-
turn thousands Of vitality needed war
workers to plantation slavery was voiced
here by AFL, CLIO and Negro leaders in
exclusive statements to Federated Press.
Layoffs of war workers are mounting
throughout Tennessee as a result of
completed contracts and material short
ages. Hundreds of aluminium workers are
due to be laid off by the Aluminium Co.
of America when it closes a number Of
its plants neal Nashville. More than
500 have been laid off at the INT plant
of the Hercules Powder Co. near Chat
tanooga.
CLIO Field Rep. Bethel T. Judd said:
Instead of conscripting every worker in
the land, the government had better do
something toward keeping workers in
the South and elsewhere employed on
Jobs they were told were for the dura-
ton"
In a Joint statement Pres. William L.
Scott and Sec. Grant L. Williams Of the
Chattanooga Industrial Union Council
pointed out that the Austin-Wadsworth
bill could be used to break southern
unions if it becomes a law. They said.
"One of the main problems in the
South is the problem of capable leader
ship. In many places the employer
would simply get rid Of the union by be-
heading it"
Editor Tom Cuthbert of The Labor
World, Chattanooga AFL paper, said he
didn't believe that the proposal would
go through because 1T would draft
profits too Cuthbert pointed out that
President Roosevelt had said that he
didn't want this one bill without the
other four that he asked for in his s.
point program
DR.. Perry A. Stephens, prominent
Negro physician and president Of the
Chattanooga branch of the National
Association for Advancement of Colored
People, said that such a law could be
used by planter-controlled draft board;
to bring Negro industrial workers back
to involuntary servitude on the cottor
and tobacco plantations.

MIDDLE in POLAND
SOME FACTS,
HISTORY, OPINION
BY TRAVIS K. HEDRIcK
Federated Press)


out Of the welter of hysterical shout
ing, confusion and hatred stirred up in
the Polish-Russia border situation, a
few facts are clearly d%iscernible to those
with the will to see.
The trouble is that things are not
what they seem. Poland is not all Polish
any more than Alsace-Lorraine, ceded
by France to Germany in the German
victory of 1871, was a part Of Germany.
After World Wal I the role of the
western allies was less than heroic. They
wanted the new Soviet Union kept out
of as much territory as possible. They
were willing to have the Poles do the
dirty work. The Poles made war on
Russia and reached Kiev. Then the
Soviets pursued the Poles almost to the
gates of Warsaw.
The Poles appealed to the Allies. Lord
Curzon, the British foreign secretary,
proposed an armistice. He suggested a
border line now know as the Curzon line.
But Russia and Poland were not through.
The Poles attacked again, sent the Rus
SLAMS Keeling. Peace was established at
Riga in 1920 with the Poles in control of
large areas of Ruthenia and the Russian
Ukraine.
The Curzon line has been proposed by
Soviet Russia as a basis for negotiations
between it and Poland today. 1t is a
modification, in favor of Poland, over
the line drawn in 1941 after Poland
collapsed under the Nazi attack.
In a vague, evasive declaration Jan.
Is, the Polish government in London
spurned consideration Of the Curzon line
and sought to involve the U. S. and
Britain in the solution Of its internal
woes.
That the position of the Polish govern
ment is untenable is admitted by most
liberal journals today. The New York
Post, certainly not pro-Soviet, said Jan.
10 there should be a democratic reorgan-
ization Of the Polish government. 1t is
not democratic today.
Yet there is a widespread call fol
American and British Intervention in
the dispute from %anti-Soviet sources. The
U. S. government makes no bones of the
fact that Bolivia's fascist government
does not please washington. American
relations with Argentina are strained be-
cause we feel our national security
threatened by a fascist, pro-Germar
government there. Yet Bolivia and Ar
gentina are thousands of miles from oul
border.
Poland is the next door neighbor o.
Soviet Russia. What would America d.
if, for example, Mexico or Canada werc
controlled by an anti-U. S. bloc Of fascis
groupings?
The Russians today are setting up
Monroe Doctrine of their own. 1t in.
wolves precisely as little interference
with the affairs of its neighbors as doe
our policy with Latin America under TIN
Monroe Doctrine Russia has state'
flatly that she wants "a strong and in
dependent, friendly Poland" The Rus
SLAMS don't talk in riddles. They viii
get just that.
