used in bottle caps, refrigerator lin

MONTGOMERY-WARD-AND
TORY PRESS


Just as expected the Tory press of
the nation leaped to the defense of
the privileged class" in the Mont
gomery-W Ward matter last week. The
monied newspapers decried the action
of the government in seizing the
plant, despite the fact the big mail
order house openly defied the order
of the War Labor Board, and plainly
told the government to "hell" with
it and it's authority. The aged presi-
dent of the company, Sewell Lee
Avery, displayed an attitude that
would have been treason had his name
been spelled John L. Lewis-and in
which case the Tory Press would have
demanded the extreme penalty of the
law, and immediate execution of the
sentence. The monied newspapers,
however, showed their colors in the
most glaring hues in their defense of
the company-declaring that the gov
ernment had no constitutional right to
seize the company's business and tote
President Avery out of his office by
the seat of his pants. Oh, how the
Tory press did rave and rant-and
prate Heretofore the monied news
papers had applauded the action of
the government in seizing the coal
mines and war industries where the
same principles were involved as
marked the Montgomery Ward situa-
ton. The press claimed the govern
ment had no business to interfere
with private business-that the Mont
gomery- Ward Co., was in the mer-
camille business pure and simple. +. ;.
that the government was without au-
thority in pursuing its actions :.
that the first thing one knows the
government could take charge of any
business could seize newspaper
offices i. could seize any kind of
business, private or otherwise. Sure,
the government has that right in
time of war. Congress conferred that
right upon the president in war in
dustry or private plant-where the
heads of industry or business refused
to abide by the decision of the War
Labor Board. And surely, the aging
president of the mail order house has
fairly spit into the face Of the War
Labor Board. The existing working
contract between the Union and the
Company had expired and the w. L.
B. had ordered an election. President
Avery had once before complied with
the orders of the w. L. B. But this
time he refused-defied the govern
ment in no uncertain manner and as

Bomber LOST

Searehers Fail TO
Locate Raj Plane

An Raj Arson training bomber
with its crew of five has been
missing on a routine fight since
last Wednesday and is believed to
have crashed in Lake Huron. il
was revealed by Canadian officials
today.
The bomber left Port Albert,
Ont, on the shore of Lake Huron,
Wednesday night for a practice
flight over Lake Huron and
Georgian Bay. II carried only
enough gas for five hours fight.
Searching parties have been out
on the lake since Thursday but
the only thing found so far is a
small rubber dinghy which may
or may not have been from the
plane.
Last night watchers on shore
saw several flares burning far out
on the storm ridden lake but a
preliminary probe disclosed the
flares were probably being used
by Searchers rather than by the
missing crewmcn.
Names OF the fliers were not
revealed

DEWEYTALkS IN PORTLAND
 LAST NIGHT
COP Nominee Says Roose- veIt Administration
 Unfifto Make Peace

PORTLAND, Oregon, Sept. 20 Greeted with the most thunderous ovation in his campaign after two narrow escapes from possible seri- ous injury, Governor Thomas E. Dewey challenged the "indispen- sable man" argument that was be- ing used by President Roosevelt supporters.
 Arriving here on schedule after the train wreck and near car col lision with a truck, he delivered his speech as though nothing had happened.
 Dewey said the making of the peace was too important "to be dependent upon the life span and continued friendship of two or three individuals History is Uttered with treaties proclaiming perman- ent peace made privately by rulers of nations and as quickly and pub licly broken. An administration which cannot unite it's own house even in war can never unite the nation for the tremendous peace tasks that lie ahead"

SUB FLYER IS
 L05T;MYSTERY
 WHERE GREW K
Commander John D. Crow. ley Is Listed as Sur-
 vivor by Navy

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. = The need for withholding information from the enemy clouds the mystery loss of the submarine Flier.
 Two possibilities are seen: She went down in action while other American vessels were close enough to pick up her crew, or, when she was destroyed her crew was cap- tured by the Japs.
 The Navy withholds any details of the sinking. The communique says the Flier was lost in recent action and the next of kin have been noti- fied.'
 This wording is contrary to the customary language of communiques reporting the loss of subs. Ordinar- fly they are listed as overdue and presumed lost" when they fail to return from war patrol.
 The department did say, in re- sponse to questions, that the crafts skipper, Commander John Daniel Crowley, is a survivor. The loss of the 1,525-to Flier brings to 30 the number of American subs lost since the war started.

 SLABS HUSBAND;
 IS UNDER ARRE51

Agnes Carrillo is in the Federal jail today and her husband, Sam, is a patient at St. Ann's Hospital as a result of stabbing Monday night at their residence in West Juneau.
 The defendant was arrested by U. S. Deputy Marshals on a charge of assault with dangerous weapon, having alleged knifed her husband in the right shoulder, the scene having occurred in the presence of two witnesses, Helen Filipe and Venancio Mazon. The stabbing, ac- cording to Assistant District Attor- ney Robert Tollefson, was said to have taken place about 10:30 o'clock on the night of September Is.
 The victim was taken to the hos pital in a serious condition, but is much improved today according to his physician, Dr. J. O. Rude.
 Mrs. Carrillo was arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Felix Gray and her bond has been set at $2,500.
