Supreme Court Clerk
Urges Purchase
of Bonds in Address

Frank Murray Of Butte, Clerk of the
Montana Supreme Court, in a radio talk
urged the purchase Of war bonds during
the Sixth War Loan Bond campaign. "To
our soldiers and sailors we must give as
surance of our loyalty and support" he
said.
With the approach Of the day Of VIC
tory, the experts still warn us that it's
going to be a long war yet and a hard
one" he said. IF the American people
will give wholeheated support to the
Treasurys war financing program and
continue to give this support, the tre-
mendous resources and productive capac-
ity of American industry, agriculture and
labor will see us through.
Whether you invest dollar week
or several hundred dollars matters not
half so much as the fact you are lending
all you can possibl spare Whatever
method of buying bonds you decide upon,
save every cent you possibly can out Of
your pay envelope week by week. BY
investing this money in war bonds, you'll
be building up margin Of safety for
you and your family. At the same time,
by avoiding unnecessary spending, you'll
be building up a margin Of safety, too,
for our boys at the front"

BONUS AWARDS MUST
BE AUTHORIZED

Employers who want to pay year-end
bonuses Of over $25 for the first time,
must apply by December Is, if they ex-
pect the Ninth Regional War Labor
Board to act on their applications in
time for them to pay the bonus, if ap-
proved, by Christmas, Vice Chairman
Herbert Fuchs announced. Applications
should be submitted to the wage and
hour division Of the United States De-
.partment Of Labor.
Mr.. Fuchs predicted that recently Civ
en- authority for employers to grant
workers Christmas or year-end bonuses Of
up to $25 without approaching the board
will forestal any flood of bonus appli-
cations in this region. THE policy on
bonuses almost eliminates the need for
employers to come to the WLlB," he ex-
planned The blanket permission for
any and all employers to award Christ
mas or year-end bonuses Of $25 or the
equivalent in value, holds true regardless
Of whether the employer paid such bon
uses in the past"
ANY employer wishing to give bonus
greater than $25 for the first time must
show that his plan meets these require
ments
% Conforms to the practice prevail
ing in the industry and area before Oc-
tober, 1912; 90 causes no appreciable
increase in cost; 80 does not furnish the
basis either to increase prices or to re-
sist reduction in prices which might
otherwise be justified; a. does not Gre
ate inequities in existing rates paid for
similar work; 81 is not based on general
claims Of increased work or duties for
all employees.
Mr. Fuchs emphasized that there has
been no change in the long-standing
rule that approval is not needed if the
bonus is the same amount as a WIiB
or recognized bonus given last
year, or if the method of computing the
bonus is not changed"
Bonuses are subject to q. S. Treasury
on the Withholding tax. For
further information on this subject, en-
1loyers should contact the Bureau of IN
ernal Revenue.
To ease Christmas hiring problems,
VIB has ruled that employers may pay
IN unlimited number Of the temporary
employees hired for the Christmas season,
It rates above the minimum of the rate
ange for a job classification, without
plans for hiring regular en-
,loyes. Mr.. Fuchs pointed out that this
uling refers to rates of pay and not
o governmental regulations dealing with
Employment.

Roosevelt Asks Congress to
Authorize Single MVA

WASHINGTON - (FP) - President
Roosevelt stepped in to safeguard his
proposal for creation of Missouri VAL
ley Authority, envisioned in his plans
for helping promote full postwar employ
ment, urging congress November % to
authorize a single, overall MVA.
His message came in the midst Of
Senate controversy over the 81 billion
flood control bill which provides for
creation Of regional flood control and
reclamation projects similar to the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
In urging a single MvA, President
Roosevelt made clear his opposition to
establishment of separate commission or
agencies proposed by ATvA opponents. He
said they would divide authority and
make it difficult to carry out single,
co-ordinated plan for development of
the Missouri river valley.

2 Dr. Henry B. Richardson, chairman of
the Physicians Committee on Research,
Inc, here to attend the sessions of the
Physicians Forum Dec. 8, released fig
ures compiled by the National opinion
Research Center Of the University Of
Denver.
The figures showed that 6s per cent
thought it would be a good idea and
only l9 per cent were opposed to it,
while 13 per cent did not have any opin-
ion. OF college people, So per cent were
for the plan and SO per cent against,
with just 9 per cent lacking an opinion
Among the Roosevelt voters of 1910
it was "a per cent for it, while those
who chose the late Wendell L. Willkie
We're only 55 per cent in favor Of the
idea. Non-yoters were for medical care
in this plan by SO per cent.
After a sampling Of the U. S. popula-
ton had been taken and asked if they
were for this expanded social security,
those in favor Of it were asked if "this
meant that 21s per cent Of peoples pay
checks would be taken out instead of /
per cent, would you think this a good
idea or bad idea?"
OF these, So per cent of the people were
in favor Of it, 10 per cent were opposed
and 13 per cent didn't know. (19 per
cent had answered no to the previous
question:
disqualification plans, such as the ma
tionally famous Blue Cross, found favor
from 80 per cent Of the people, with only
a per cent opposed and 4 per cent with
out any opinion In the white collar
group it was 81 per cent in favor, the
same as manual workers, both skilled
and unskilled. Farmers, with only 80
per cent favoring disqualification insur-
.ance brought the national average down.
The survey seems to show a different
picture than the medical trust wants to
present.

GREEN, MEANY AND
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
Are REELECTED

NEW ORLEANS President William
Green, Secretary Treasurer Georg e
Neany and the entire roster of AFL vice
presidents on the executive council were
unanimously reelected at the closing
session of the Gath annual convention.
In accepting the call to serve for his
21st consecutive yearly term as the fed
eration's chief executive, MI. Green said:
with your cooperation and support,
shall face the future of the coming
year, again giving all that I have to
our cause. In doing so, am conscious
OF my responsibilities and the trying ex-
periences through which we will pass be-
fore the year is over"
Graphically picturing the scenes of
devastation in Europe when the war is
ended, Mr.. Green declared that just as
America has served as the arsenal Of
democracy during the conflict, it will
be called upon to help rebuild and re-
construct the cities of foreign lands laid
waste by savagery and brutality He
added:
I'VE must lead in the fight during the
coming year for the realization of do
nestle conditions of which we have
dreamed for many years.
I'VE must also fight here in our own
beloved land for a united labor move
ment. I am one of those who think
that some of those who left us will be
back with Us when the next convention
meets. I shall do my best to bring it
about"
Mr. Meany, who also made a brief ac-
ceptance talk, warned Of the seriousness
Of the problems labor must face in the
coming year and added
There is one point on which I think
we can all agree-that is, that the
American Federation Of Labor in facing
this vital job. should do so as a united
organization; and, perhaps what is more
important, that we face the job as a
thoroughly consistent sound, American
institution"

TRANSFERS Attack ON
JAPANESE AMERICANS

NEW YORK -(FlP) No organization
can be considered a genuine union if it
does not fight against discrimination, "
President Arthur Osman Of the Whole
sale and Warehouse Workers CCIO) said
! December Z, taking issue with an at
tack on Japanese-Anlericans which ap-
peared in the international Teamster,
organ of the International Brotherhood
Of Teamsters (AFL).
Entitled 80 Sorry, Throw
Them out" the Teamster article called
for revocation of citizenship of all Jap
anese-Americans and a permanent bar
to any future immigration from the
Orient
1T is unnecessary to point out that
there are great numbers Of Americans
Of German and japanese descent who
are making tremendous contributions to
freedom and to the struggle against the
Axis, Osman said "One of our mem
bers, Roy Flkushina, serves with whole
battalion Of Japanese American soldiers,
fighting in Italy and demonstrating the
kind of courage, skill and devotion that
has won for them many honors and the
gratitude of their commanding officers.
1T is essential that we realize that the
Indictment against Japanese Americans
has nothing in common with patriotism.
1t has no relation to our devoted strug-
gle against Japan. 1t is nothing else but
filthy race prejudice.
1T is most common among those who
are prejudiced against Negroes and
against Jews. If we don't defeat this
Indictment against oriental races we will
be defeated by the very race theories
which provide Nazism with its greatest
bulwark of strength
