PREPARE LOCAL
TO MEET TEST
(From The Catering Industry
Employee)


Less than months will separate us
from the November election by the
time that this issue of the Journal
reaches its readers. This election will
prove crucial test of the political
loyalty of the men and women of labor
to the organized labor movement.
Never before has organized labor en-
Joyed the numerical strength it man
aged to attain in recent years. Nor
has it ever faced SO many grave prob
lens as during this critical period
of its history. Congress and num-
Der of state legislatures have been
trying to hogtie us with restrictive
legislation and they have largely sue
ceeded
Even as this is being written we
learn that labor's foes in California
have succeeded in obtaining a suffi-
cient number of signatures to the
falsely labeled Right to Employ
ment" petition to have it placed on
the ballot in November. AS has been
stated, this petition does not contem-
| plate what its title implies. 1t means
| to guarantee the fright to employ
ment" not for the great mass of Cal
ifornia's workers, but only for the
non-unionists and at the expense of
union men and women. The petitions
purpose is to wreck organized labor in
California.
The organized workers, the small
businessmen, the small farmers and
the common people of California have
it within their power to bring to frus-
tration this dastardly scheme of the
labor haters. Organized labor and
its representatives are being assailed,
misrepresented and villifed by the
| Association of Manufacturers and
other labor-hating employers organ
izations, by the commercial press and
chiefly so by the poison pen of West
brook Pegler and some of his fellow
| columneers
But there is a silver lining in the
cloud that is enveloping us. The pri-
mary election news that comes to us
from different sections of the coun-
try has decided tendency to buoy
up our spirits. While we have not
in all cases succeeded in securing the
nomination of labor's friends, the sue
cess we have achieved in this respect
is enough to convince us that the So
luton to our problems lies in being
united at the ballot box But the main
test is still to come Tuesday, Nov. z.
Has your local union been preparing
its members to meet this test
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-09-08

We considered that an unwarranted
discourtesy. In view of the note we
have just received from him, we are
inclined to believe that it was an un-
intentional oversight, SO we hereby
write finis to the incident.
In this issue you will find the Pres
ident's message and the governors
proclamation printed in full, in ac-
cordance with the A. F. of LIS nom
partisan political policy
1t is perhaps not too surprising that
both candidates for the presidency say
nice things about labor and it's war
record in their statements.
But these expressions should not be
considered mere bid for votes during
campaign year. Surely we are not
cynical enough to believe that the two
candidates for the presidency of the
United States would stoop SO low as
to state untruths on SC vital matter
merely to get votes. Men of high
principle, men distinguished enough
to be nominated by their parties for
the presidency of the United States,
do not behave that way. Which brings
US to our point. Conceding, as we
must, the truth of the complimentary
statements to labor by Roosevelt and
Dewey, what happens to the argu-
ments Of the enemies of labor? They
go out the window!

AS this is being written in Chicago,
where we are caught in the middle
between the pre-Labor Day rush and
coverage of the midsummer session
please excuse US from giving vent to
any profound thoughts and bear with
us while we get few random obser-
vations off our chest.
First of all, we feel quite perked
up because the union to which we be-
long has now been lifted out of the
category of ''one-lungers" and is soon
going to assume its rightful status
as an international organization in the
A. F. Of L. family.
The Office Workers Union, poten-
TALLY the largest in the federation
was granted an international charter
by the Executive Council at it's meet
ing here, as was the Chemical Work
ers' Union.
Until now we have neglected to give
enough attention to the Office Work
ers' Union, in which we hold member
ship, but from now on we're going te
make up for lost time. While we DOM
consider ourselves white-collar wage
slave--our employer not being that
type of gu-we feel very deeply that
office workers in private employment
are not getting the right kind of break

ican Legion would get off it's perch
and stop echoing the line Of big busi-
ness and pay more attention to what
the men in uniform really want, it
might benefit too. In the postwar
period, labor and the veterans will
have to work together to promote
their common interests. That's why
it is so important for them to get
together now.

two interesting letters yesterday. One

was from Steve Early, secretary to
the President, inclosing an advance
copy Of the Presidents Labor Day
message for publication in the labor
press. The other was note from
young Jim Hagerty, executive assist
ant to Governor Dewey, inclosing a
copy of the governors Labor Day
proclamation for publication in the
labor press.
You may recall that we got peeved
a couple of weeks ago because the
governors assistant had turned down
our request for Labor Day message.

ALEUTIAN WIND
 HITS 240 MILES PER HOUR

Pfc. Robert H. (Curley) Arm strong, Wrangell man now in the service to the Westward sends us the following clipping from the Anchorage Times:
 ALASKAN DEPT. HEADQUAR- TIERS The things the fighting services say about Aleutian Island weather are all out of date since it blew 24O miles an hour out there.
 An observer at Elmendorf field here partly confirmed the reports from Aleutian pilots that winds aloft had reached the velocity of more than 200 miles an hour. " The highest previously recorded wind velocity in the air was 231 miles an hour at Mount Washing ton, New Hampshire.
 Army observer Lieut.. Wayne C.. Wild, Woonsocket, South Dakota and Lieut.. Arnold Court, Norman, Oklahoma, said the pilots doubt less were correct in reporting they encountered winds reaching 240 miles per hour. They said fliers ordinarily can gauge wind velocity to within ten per cent.

 WASHINGTON - Sec'y liar old L. Ickes said in his annual re- port this week that the develop ment of Alaska was becoming in- creasingly connected with the vel fare of the nation and predicted that never again would the ter ritory be left a vulnerable out post"
 The country must become more thoroughly acquainted with Alas ka resources and plans must be made to utilize and develop these resources wisely, he said
 Ickes said there Is a pressing need for testing Alaska areas for petroleum deposits because of the waning supplies elsewhere. He de clared that less than half of the territory is satisfactorily surveyed and less than five per cent is priv ately owned. The government, as landlord, should find out what it owns for the post war accelera- tfon and demand for land in the territory seems inevitable and not only will members of the armed forces but civilian construction become acquainted with the advantages of the territory but the new road construction, in cluding the international high will make Alaska more accessible"

Horror Tales Come From
 Jap Camps
By Associated Press

by AssOGAaACu IEne
 WASHINGTON-A horror story, scarcely parallelled in the annals of modern war. of how Japanese starved and tortured, and in some cases. wantonly murdered gallant defenders of Bataan, was told by the Army and Navy here today in documented sworn statements of officers who escaped from prison camps.
 The joint announcement des- oribed a cold-blooded campaign of sayagery carried out after 36,0OO Americans and Filipinos at Bataan and COrrigedor had been over whelmed by superior numbers.
 The account began by telling of the thousands of deaths in Japan csc camps. A total of 2,2OO Amer jeans died in two months in one prison camp. It then recited that following the Americans and Fii- pinos being taken prisoners, those found with Japanese money tokens were beheaded The survivors were beaten along the march to death" A total of 12,0O0 men were kept penned in a 1O0-yard square area without food for Seck and had to wait 12 hours to fill their canteens from one water spigot. A widely used torture was sun treatment" Captiyes were made to sit in the boiling sun all day without cover and little wat CT. Six men, three Americans and three Filipinos, i'll from mistreat- ment, were buried while still alive. Men were literally worked to death" and it was not unusual for 20 per. cent of the work detail to die sthis way. Tn one instance 75 per cent were killed that way"
 Three officers who attempted to escape had their hands tied behind them and were hauled upward with ropes attached overhead for purchase so they had to remain standing bent forward to ease the pressure on their arms. They were left thus for two days and were periodically beaten with two byl fours. One was then beheaded and the others shot.
