Labor
Warned
by ALL

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 20
QNS)-Gen. Somervell. Army
Service Forces commander, told
the American Federation of Labor
today that the 40 per cent lag in
arms and equipment production
will be reflected in drastically re-
vised military timetables and
higher American casualties over
seas.
SomerveN underscored the
warning from Gen. Eisenhower
that Allied troops on the German
front are firing more ammunition
than is being produced. On Leyte,
he said, Gen. MacArthur's forces
are using more artillery ammuni-
ton than during the last 10
months combined.
THE fewer shells our soldiers
have TO fire." he said, "the
longer Il will take them to at
tain their detectives and the
more lives they Will have to
sacrifice i'm the effort"
The ALL convention, mean
while, got under way on the twin
pleas of higher wages for labor
and postwar unity in the ranks Of
labor unions.
The organizations executive
council reported that "today's low
wages mean that millions of
families will be condemned to
live in poverty" and that consumer
buying power will be far short
of the level needed to maintain
full postwar production and en-
ploYment.
