Dear Don:
Thanks for your nice letter. Sc
you think tomatoes will grow good
in New Guinea? That's fine, but
what We guys IN Nogales and Mexico
want is some tomatoes that WON'T
/ grow good in Texas and Florida.
On my way up here from Nogales
I was lucky enough to get into a
broadcast where That bobby sock
sensation was broadcasting. The
announcer asked him, FRANKIE,
what is the name of the song that
you are going to sing?" And frankie
replied, I'll Never Sing Again" ]
| pTped up, That's swell" Boy,
got thrown out of that Joint faster
than Bill Diekey could throw Pete
Abadie out at second And, hell, ]
only meant that's swe1r7-and that
pun CD that smells.
1 have been away from Nogales
for a couple of weeks so can't re-
port anything to you thG;;'s happen
ing there, except what 1 read in the
papers. One thing I found out
though. is that Colonel Macdonald
just made the quickest overseas
roundtrip of anyone in or out of
the service I read in the Nogales
AFTERNOON paper on Monday
that he was on his way overseas.
and on Tuesday read that he was
in Phoenix Some speed, eh kid?
Not much news up in this part
of the country that would interest
you except one item and it's a hot
one. Over the 4th of July the Sen
Francisco OPA swooped down On a
nudist camp in Sonoma county, Just
out of San Francisco, and grabbed
with photographs the license num-
bers of all the cars there to check
on them and see if their gas tickets
allowed them mileage get there.
And it looks like lot of guys were
caught with. their pants down I
wonder how Bert Cumming or Dec
Clagett would like an OPA assign
ment like that. What the hell
would have happened to Adam and
Eve if the OPA was in operation in
their time?

and therefore we are resourceful.

Labor are serving in the armed forces
of the nation alongside of other boys
from all walks of life.
To-day, the 100000 members of
the American Federation of Labor,
serving on the production front here
at home, are working harder than ever
before to give our fighting men the
backing and support they need.
"Today, out of the vast flow of
planes, ships, tanks, guns and ammu-
milton, pouring in record quantities
from our industrial facilities to the
fighting fronts, more than 85 per cent
is made by union labor.
"By providing the armed forces of
the United Nations with overwhelm-
ing superiority in the weapons of war
we can make ultimate victory certain
and bring it nearer.
"From now on that will be the SUI
preme objective of all American work
ers-an objective that must outweigh
all other considerations. All our hopes
and prayers for the safety of our
loved ones overseas and for victory
in 1914 must be translated into calm
steady, unremitting hard work"
On the same radio program, three
of Americas outstanding war heroes
paid high tribute to labor's production
achievements which they have OBJ
served while visiting war plants since
their return to this country. Asked
what he thought of the efforts o1
American workers, Charles E. (Com.
mando) Kelly, holder of the Congress
sional Medal Of Honor, said:

COMPULSORY
SERVICE BILLS
ARE DOOMED

Washington, D. c. Congressional
leaders have come to the conclusion
that all pending proposals for COM
pulsory labor conscription are "dead
ducks" for this session, at least, and
are now seeking to draft legislation
merely to control turnover" in war
plants.
This was indicated after hearings
opened on the new Bailey-Brewster
"work or fight" bill, which would make
workers liable for penalty service in
"work battalions" for failure to trans
fer to jobs in war industries.
This latest dodge Of the national
service" advocates received such a
cold reception from the first group of
witnesses to testify before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee that it
probably will be pigeon-holed in a
hurry.
The bill was roundly denounced by
Lewis G. Hines, legislative repre-
sentative for the American Federation
of Labor, who told the committee that
such legislation was bound to do more
harm than good.
Expressing the policy laid down by
the AFL Executive Council, Mr.. Hines
insisted that "free and voluntary serv-
ice is far superior to coercion" He
charged it was ridiculous to say that
the bill ought to be passed to show
the men in the armed forces that labor
is supporting them.
"Our boys don't need that kind OF
assurance" said Mr.. Hines. "What
they need is the truth. When they get
the truth about war production, they
will know beyond question that we are
backing them up"

Meany Berates Labor Department
For Unrealistic Living Cost Index

the next best thing to do was to keep
down the cost-of-living index. In this
policy the BIS obsequiously ac-
quiesced. We are led to the inescapable
conclusion that the bureau has be-
come identified with an effort to
freeze wages, to the extent that it is
no longer a free agency of statistical
research"
"There is no national labor policy
and no unification of administration of
labor legislation for dealing with la
Dor problems"
Mr.. Meany contended that the BIS
is contributing by its silence to the
popular deception that it keeps cost
of living index whereas, in fact, it is
merely an index of some retail prices.
He also asserted that the items in
cluded in the index were predominant
ly those over which the OPA had ex-
ercised tight price controls.
- consciously or unconsciously," the
AFL official added, "the bureau has
permitted this fact to cause serious
downward bias in its measurement of
the amount of increase in retail prices.
Workers today have to depend heavily
on foods and other items not priced
by the bureau. Because of these de-
velopments the index no longer gives
an accurate measurement of price in
creases of goods bought by workers" !"

Washington, D. George Meany,
secretary-t treasurer of the American
Federation of Labor, berated the De-

Labor Statistics for failure to perform
their statutory duty "to foster, pro-
mote and develop wage-earners' well
fare"
At the annual meeting of labor re-
search personnel called by the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, Mr.. Meany
fatty charged that this agency is at
tempting to keep it's cost of living in
dex down in order to cover up the
governments failure to keep living
costs down. He added:
"The Secretary of Labor does not
represent the views of labor in the
Cabinet"

conformity with the dictates of adj

objective"

LabOr's Full Strength Modified To Support Invasion
AS Military Leaders Praise Past Achievements

Washington, D. C.-Labor mobilized
it's maximum strength across the
length and breadth of America to back
up Allied invasion forces, fighting on
the beachheads of France, with over
whelming superiority in war material
over the enemy.
Forty EIGHT hours after D-Day the
docket of the National War Labor
Board was cleared of any and all
strikes involving AFL unions and
President William Green cabled the
good news to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower,
in command of the Allied expedition
ary forces.
Following up this all-out support
on the production line, President
Green called on the 100000 AFL
members to buy at least $750,000,000
worth of War Bonds in the current
Fifth War Loan Drive.
Lets buy more to shorten the
war;" the AFL chief appealed.
Leaders of AFL organizations in
every part of the country rallied to
the call for redoubled service and re-
ported production going full blast on
the nations production front.
At the same time, Army and Navy
chiefs paid high tribute to the long
production battle waged by the ma
TONS workers which made the inva-
sion possible.
The industrial incentive division of
the Navy declared in an official re-
lease:
"The pledge of union workers to
build bridge Of landing craft tc
storm the shores Of Hitler's Fortress
Europe. Over 1000 vessels took part
in the initial invasion, great numbers
of them being LCI's (Landing Craft

American output of combat planes
is now at rate greater than to
in comparison with Germany's ane
better than 7 to 1 compared with
Japanese production, Charles E. Will
son, chairman of the Aircraft Produc
tion Board revealed.
Military experts said these figures
showed why Hitler's Luftwaffe failee
so miserably to prevent the invasion
of Normandy.
D-Day found u. S. production O.
aircraft since Pearl Harbor soaring
above the 100000 mark. The War De
partment disclosed that artillery pro

ously this year. Shipyards tripled tn,

More Smokes Asked
For Service Men
To the Members of the
AMERICAN FEDERATION

AMERICAN FEDERATION
OF LABOR,
Greetings:
Undoubtedly, you are aware of the
fact that the American Federation of
Labor through l. NJ Ornburn, Secre-
tary-Treasurer of the Union Label
Trades Department, last year under
took plan to send good will mes
sages overseas in the form of FREE
UNION LABEL RALEIGH cigar
cites. At first the response was very
gratifying, as millions of RALEIGH
cigarettes were shipped by our locals
to all parts of the world, SPREADING
GOOD WILL for organized labor.
Month by month, however, due to
many think that Victory is just
around the corner" donations, based
upon the requirements of the men now
overseas, have dropped.
We know that the recipients of
these FREE cigarettes appreciate
them because thousands of letters and
cards of thanks have been received by
all locals from American fighters in
all theaters of war. No small number
Of the letters are from our own men,
bers who are now using guns and
grenades instead Of the tools Of the
trade. All of them are unanimous in
their appreciation of the FREE cigar
cites being furnished by labor, espe-
cially since American smokes are
rationed and hard to get in some bat
tie areas. War correspondents, Red
Cross workers and high Army and
Navy officials all agree that cigarettes
from home do more for the morale OF
our boys thany other one thing.
According to the Secretary of War
1--WE shall have twice as many mer
overseas in 1914 as in 1943." There.
fore, twice as many smokes will be
needed this year. With this in mind
l urge all locals that have not partici
pated in this nationwide move Of
spreading good will for union worker:
to GIVE THIS YOUR SERIOUS
CONSIDERATION. And l urge those
locals that have been sending cigar
cites to continue this patriotic ant
morale building campaign.
With best wishes.
Fraternally yours,
WIN. GREEN, President,
American Federation Of Labor.
