ClO Women Ask
Investigation Of
Women Foscis+s

An immediate investigation by
the Department of Justice of
certain faScist-minded women S
groups in the United States was
urged today in letter to At
torney General Francis Biddle
from Mrs. Faye Stephenson of
Cleveland, president of the Con-
gress of Women's Auxiliaries of
the CIO.
The letter pointed out the
close association of the leaders
of such organizations as the
United Mothers, The Mothers of
Sons Forum, American Women
Against Communism and We the
Mothers Mobilize for America,
Inc, with at least three of the
20 indicted seditionists now on
trial in the District Court in
Washington, D. c.
1t pointed out that all of these
organizations distribute litera-
ture aimed at creating disunity
and distrust such as "Roosevelt's
Jewish Ancestry" which is men
toned in the Grand Jury indict-
ment of the 20 conSpirators.
Finally the letter pointed out,
that although these organiza-
tions are small today, they con-
sist of "key women in many
communities all over the coun-
try who spread the anti-war,
anti-democratic propaganda of
the Mothers and Women's
groups through their own neigh
borhoods and local organiza
tions."

The committee threw a little
party for Bob Baer last Satur-
day night. Bob is soon leaving
for the Navy.
We miss Tony Snyder who has
been sick Tony would appre-
ciate a visit from the boys. Lots

our wish for him.
After a visit to the WLB in
Cleveland, we are still waiting
for a decision. Watch your bull
letin boards for notice of meet
ing when a report will be given.
Just a reminder. Save your
self embarrassment and trouble
by keeping up your union dues
payments.
That must have been quite a
blowout at the DMF millionaire
party a week ago.
Eddie Duck seems to have
undergone reformation. Maybe

VietOs On Fishing

Glenn l.. Martin, Baltimore
employer of thousands OF work
ers, did much to change ma
tons thinking on outdoor rec
reation in a speech made before
a conference Of sports writer's
at Chicago year ago, with the
consequent publicity given to
his utterances
Mr.. Martin declared that if he
had his way every employee OF
his would spend his day off in
the outdoors, fishing and hunt
ing preferably, but at any rate
in the outdoors, where he could
build up both body and mental
morale for the following weeks
work
General Eisenhower said i'm a
speech to his invasion troops
Lets get this business cleaned
VI so we can go home and go
fishing"

Union Head
Backs Foremen's
Right TO Organize

DETROIT, May 20 (FP)-The
authorized strike of $500 fore
men in Ia Detroit war plants,
which ended May II under
strong government pressure and
(it is hinted) rosy secret prom
lses, brought forth strong clashes
in opposing industrial philoso-
phies as between management
and union leaders
The hySterical argument of
management, appearing in huge
ads in the daily press, was that
ION the eve of invasion war
production threatened by drive
to unionize management"
IF management is to be union
lied, where is union control
to stop?" asked the Automotive
Council for War Production
arrangements own union).
President r. j. Thomas of the
UAW instructed the UAW mem
bers not to scab on foremen's
work during the strike, while at
the same time respecting their
own no-strike pledge, Some
UAW locals put their halls at
the disposal of the striking fore
men.
The foremen themselves, or
ganized in the Foremen'S AsSo-
citation of America, describe
themselves as glorified messen-
ger boys. They feel they are
sitting pretty with their nation
wide Ford Motor Co. contract
wherever they have member
ship. 1t gives them regulation
collective bargaining and griev-
ance procedure, pay for time
lost in bargaining, and seniority
both as employees and as fore
men.
The average seniority of the
officers of Ford Chapter l, FAA,
is 25 years, says President w. @,
Elliott of the chapter.

SPORTS Nez0S
Fishing
Is Good

Although black bass are hav-
ing a brief respite to afford time
TO put their family circles in or
der - the annual spawning pc
riod-up to June l in the south
ern portion of the state, and
June Is in the upper sector,
Ohio anglers are reporting good
catches of other varieties of fish
in both streams and lakes.
Estimates on sales of fishing
licenses, and the large number
of fishermen to be seen wher-
ever good fishing is available,
seem to indicate that this will
be a good year in spite of con-
tinued gas rationing and en-
ployment demands, say Conser-
walton Division field men who
have been checking on prospects
in general.
Conservation authorities point
out that there has been sharp
change in public sentiment with
regard to the justification for
the practice of fishing under
war conditions, the past year or
so. Early after the war cartoon
lists and thoughtless rabble rous-
ers were inclined to refer to
fishing as the height of shirking
and laziness. Then such men as
Glenn L. Martin, the airplane
manufacturer, many government
authorities and other level-head-
ed persons began pointing out
the high morale, health and
meat values OF fishing and out
door recreation, until all criti-
cism in public prints has disap-
peared, and encouragement is
evidenced as a matter of social
and government policy.

LET Congress

Organized labor is letting con-
gress know it is watching the
vote of members on the follow
ing:
Price COntrOl-Senate and House
bills on renewing price con-
troll act due for early intro
duction to keep up OPA and

unitedly fig h ing against
amendments to weaken the
present act.
CT Bill of Rights-HouSe has
adopted the Rankin bill filled
with changes from the Senate
passed version. Conference
committee to attempt adjust
ment, with labor insisting on
killing Rankin's weakening
changes and his bad "open
shop" clause.
RecOnversion is 1893)-Bill by
Sen. Kilgore protects workers
in postwar reconverSion. Law
rushed through senate guards
only the rights of industry,
omitting the human problem.
Labor is writing congressman

Forced Labor (S 1864)-This
measure is regarded as far
worse than the old labor draft
proposal. Calls for forced labor
battalionS for men who leave
jobs without permission. Sen

ILO Ends Philadelphia
World Conference

PHILADELPHIA (FP) - Pro-
posing principles of improved
labor standards, economic ad-

for inclusion in the peace treaty
the International Labor Organi-
zation ended its 26th conference.
Worker delegates went home to
the various nations with the
comment that chances of putting
ILO recommendations into ac-
ton will depend on whether it
becomes part of the United Ma
tions set-up and on whether the
labor movements can develop
sufficient pressure to make their
governments and employers lis
ten.

LUTHER

1T just goes to show you"
said Mr.. DilWorth, shaking his
head mournfully. Now who
would ever have thought that
healthy-looking man like Martin
Dies would have TO retire be-
cause of i'll health" p"
IN bet even Dies didn't think
of it until the unions back home
started passing resolutions re-
minding him, said Little Luther.
Unions" yelled Mr.. DilWorth,
starting out of his chair. They're
to blame for all this. They've
got no business sticking their
noses into politics. It's uncon-
stitutional!"
Certainly is bad for Dies con-
stitution," agreed Little Luther.
And what's to become of all
the fine work that committee s
done?" demanded Mr.. Dilworth.
How are we going to know
what those reds are up to, who
will be left to warn us of the
danger of the CIO?"
Don't worry, Pop" Luther
said, there's always Pegler.
It's the beginning of mass un-
employment, l tell YOU" insisted
Mr.. Dilworth. First poor old
JC Starnes, now Martin. Why,
those people down in Texas just
have no gratitude. The way
Martin Dies has been serving
them
Red herring, Pop?"
"All these years" Mr.. Dill
worth rushed on. It's down
right outrageous"
You mean contagious, don't
you, Pop? Like the song they're
singing down in Beaumont
There's something bout
union vote
Gives a man a sudden sore
throat.
He's feeling okay til one fine
day
The union comes to town to
stay.
They trot out this funny new
contraption
Something they call political
action
No slick campaign promises
can make them soften
They're retired Martin Dies TO
his political cough-in."

Repeal Hit
AS SfoIIinq

WASHINGTON, May "a, (FP)
The sudden move of the Re-
publican members of the Senate
introducing a constitutional
amendment to repeal the poll
tax provision in federal elec-
tions was hit as a stalling move
May % by the National Com
mittee to Abolish the Poll Tax.
Pointing out that 20 years ago
constitutional amendment to
abolish child labor was passed
by the congress, the committee
said that in that period of 20
years the required number of
states have not yet ratified it.
The situation was met, how
ever, by passage in 1888 of the
fair labor standards act which
eliminated or carefully regu-
lated child labor throughout the
U. S.

ALL is QUIET

Now that everything seems
quiet and running smooth again,
what ever became of the petit
ton that was signed about two
years ago concerning a lunch
wagon. Amt these union guys
and gals never satisfied?
AT the time the petition was
circulated, everybody was in
favor of it. That is, everybody
but the management. Now, more
than ever, cue to overtime, ex-
ira eXertion and all that goes
with additional work, it seems
quite reasonable to suppose that
efficiency would be increased
and better feelings engendered
if we could get some hot food to
keep us going during the day or
night.
Cold sandwiches are food,
that's true, but they don't pep
you up ike a not luncn.
A few months ago slogan
was placed in the plant which
read, Eat A Lunch That Packs
A Puncih--." There is nothing that
helps that old punch like hot
chow. Don't you think so Mr.
Management? That makes it
practically unanimous.
How about trying out the idea
and seeing what will happen.
After all, if it doesn't help you
can always change your mind
about it, that is, if you can see
where it doesn't help.

Pan-American Union
To Meet Wednesday
On Argentine Plea
BY JOSEPH HI. BAIRD.

The Pan-American Union late yes
terday transmitted to Secretary of
State Hull and the ENJOYS of the
American republics in Washington
all members of the Unions govern
ing board-a request by Argentina
to convene a meeting of foreign
ministers to consider recognition of
the regime of Gen. Edelmiro Farrell.
This move was viewed by officials
as an effort to break down the non
recognition policy of Mr.. Hull, which
has been supported by Great Britain
and most of the American states.
The State Department said, how
ever, that it was willing to "ex-
change views fully with the govern
ments of the other American repub-
hes before taking any decision,
A meeting of the governing board
of the Pan American Union, officials
there said, will be convened next
Wednesday to consider the Argen-
tine request fsk M
| Mr.. HulPs policy of nonrecogni-
ton toward Argentina is based or
his conviction that the Farrell re-
gime is under NaH influence, l.
Fascist in form and has not fulfilled
its obligations under the Lima ano
Rio de Janiero agreements to CO.
operate In united front" against
the Axis in the Western Hemisphere
The reasons for Americas policy
were set out in a speech by Mr.
Hull on July q in which he said
Gen. Farrell and his government
were guilty of giving aid and COM
fort to the Axis and would not be
recognized until there had been a
throughgoing change in its policies
AS a result of Americas lead
Great Britain and most of the
American republics have withdrawn
their ambassadors from Buenos
Aires. Only four maintain even linn
tied diplomatic relations with
Buenos Aires, Chile, Paraguay, Bo-
livia and Ecuador
In it's memorandum to the PAN
American Union, as reported from
Buenos Aires by the Associated
Press, Argentina said:
1T has been alleged that Argen-
tina has not fulfilled its interna-
tional obligations, which fact =
involves a problem which interests
not one country, nor a group of
countries, but the entire continent" "
The Buenos Aires regime went on
to say that it believed a conference
should be held where all the Amer
ican governments would be able to
explain their points of view 1t
was emphasized, however, that lin
no case can the adoption of meas
ures of internal order, related to
the judicial and institutional re-
gime of this country, be matters of
international negotiation"
This latter statement was taken
to mean that the Farrell regime was
not willing to discuss such matters
as it's alleged favoritism toward
German firms, it's adoption of the
outer trappings of Fascism, its sup
preston of the freedom of it's press
or anything other than it's purely
international commitments.
