Hull Restates PIedqe
German People Need
Not Fear Defeat

New assurance that Allied wrath
will be directed only at Nazi leaders
and that the German man in the
street" has nothing to fear from
unconditional surrender. has been
given by Secretary of State Hull.
His statement was contained in a
letter to Representative Buffet, Re-
publican, of. Nebraska, chairman OF
committee of IA Republicans who
queried the Secretary on his foreign
policies.
Mr.. Hull's letter, Dated March 90
apparently did not satisfy the Ne
braSkan, who said the Secretary
missed the point of the letter." and
added:
"A fog of confusion is disturbing
our people in the absence of positive
victory aims. The people feel that
the Atlantic Charter is being
shelved and that the real news OF
facts of the Moscow agreement and
the Teheran conference have not
been revealed"
Secretary Hull, in his answer to
the legislators query, What are we
fighting for?" quoted President
Roosevelt's statement to Congress
August Is, 1943, which included the
assertion:
"The peoples of the Axis controlled
areas may be assured that when
they agree to unconditional sur
render they will not be trading ex-
isting Axis despotism for ruin under
the United Nations"
Mr.. Hull also quoted these state
ments from the Presidents message
II have said that we would bring
food to the starving and medicine
to the sick in the areas liberated by
the United Nations.
1--WE have done so, under lend
lease, in North Africa. We are doing
so in Sicily.
1--WE shall continue to do so in
other areas, as they are liberated, to
prevent economic breakdown and to
aid the liberated peoples to produce
and help themselves"

1t added that hoped-for develop
ment of rubber substitutes to
streamline the American figure has
thus far failed to snap the corset
industry out of its dilemma, as all
stocks of one type of synthetic are
now available only for military sup
plies, and research on other types
has not been perfected.
The corset industry has now
practically exhausted stocks of rub
ber and rubber fabrics which were
on hand in the spring of 1912, when
further manufacture of rubber-con-
tanning fabrics for civilian goods
was stopped" the industry state
ment read in part mo satisfactory

Conn. Unions Get Help On Returns
Financial Statement To Revenue Dept Will Not Require Certificate Of Exemption Returns Due
 By August Fifteen

Connecticut unions have received official notification from the Ann erican Federation of Labor that it will not be necessary for them to obtain a certificate of exemption from income tax in filing their financial return with the Collector of Internal Revenue. This certifi- cate is known as ''FOrm lO24."
 In a letter to all locals, George Meany, secretary-treasurer of the A.F.L., writes:
 ''We wish to inform you that you will not be required to file Form 1924. All of our directly af- filiated local trade and federal labor unions, central bodies, and state branches are exempt from the payment of Federal income taxes under provisions of Section lOl CD of the Internal Revenue Code and income tax provisions of the Revenue Bill.
 "This exemption from income taxes for our directly affiliated local trade and federal labor unions, central bod ies, and state branches was estab- lished by the American Federation of Labor through the medium of a blanket exemption in the year 1940 This exemption has been maintained from the date 1t was first established

Rail ilWorkersWin Dramatic Battle
 WithRailrOadCO.
AFL Agreement With Utah Road Marks End Of
 9-Year Struggle

One of the longest and most dra- matic battles of railroad workers for the right to organize has just come to victorious climax with the sign ing of an agreement between the A. F. of L. shopcraft unions and the Bingham & Garfield Railway in Utah.
 The carrier is only B miles long and only l8 employees are covered by the agreement, but back of that contract is a story of a determined nine years struggle by the men with hard-boiled anti-union man. agemenf.
 When the men first organized in 1885 and sought an agreement, the management answer was to shift them to the payroll of the railroads parent corporation, the Utah Cop per Company, in an effort to de- prive them of the benefits of rail- way labor legislation.
 The shopmen held their ground, in- sisting they were still railroad em- ployes. Back in 1888, their position was sustained by the Railroad Retire ment Board, which held they were en- titled to the benefits of the Railroad Retirement and Unemployment h. surance Acts.
 The company fought the ruling through the courts, including the Su- preme Court, but lost at every step of the way. After the high tribunals s decision, the workers renewed their fight for recognition, winning National Mediation Board certi6cation of the shopcraft unions as their bargaining agency.
 This certifcatiOn was challenged by the company, which raised tech- nicalities of one kind or another. Finally, as a last resort, the men went on a one-day strike last Oc- tober. That brought results. The carrier ended its stalling and en- tered into negotiations, which have now eliminated in signed agree ment carrying provisions in some respects even better than standard rules on larger carriers.
 Incidentally, the A. F. of L. Rail way Employees Department, at con siderable expense, backed the work CTS to the limit during the tough, nine-year battle

Labor Efficiency Helps To Reduce Total War Costs
Increased Productivity And New Methods Suggested
 By Men

Phenomenal increases in labor pro- ductivity during the war have wrought a double benefit for Uncle Sam, the War Department revealed this week.
 On the one hand, output has risen to record heights, and, on the other, costs to the government have been amazingly reduced. The department cited some examples of the huge financial savings the workers have made for Uncle Sam through greater efficiency.
 Heavy bombers, the department said, cost $5O0,000 a year ago and only $2500O0 now. Bofors anti-air- craft guns have been trimmed from $25,000 to $13,0O0; Garand rifles, from $80 to $35; submachine guns, from $55 to $34.50; 5O-calibre Brown ing machine guns, from $840 to $323 05-millimeter howitzers, from $13,- 400 to $9,750.
 Fighter planes have been slashed from $15000O to $50000; medium bombers from $200,000 to $125,0O0 The same story is true of many other weapons of war.
 A significant point made by the de partment is that Suggestions for i'm proving and speeding production made by war workers have done much to lower those costs"
 One fact overlooked by the de. partment is that the workers, while making this encouraging record, have not personally benefited. Their wages have remained ''froz- en-" while costs to Uncle Sam fell steadily and profits to the manu- lecturers kept zOoming.

WorkersStriking In Reich Against
 Shortage of Food
Invasion And Approaching Hunger Crisis Held Re
 sponsible For Situation

A wave of strikes and peace dem- OnstratiOns broke out in Germany just before the invasion and is con- tinuing in the face of a rapidly ap- preaching food crisis inside the country, Allied Labor News learned this week from refugee German union leaders in Mexico City.
 Thirty thousand German workers went on strike in the Schwarzkopf factories in the Berlin suburb, Wildau, on the eve of the landing in France, unionists in the Latin American Free German Committee told AIN corre- spondent Owen Roche. The strike spread to other unnamed industries and lasted for 10 days, during which organized peace demonstrations were staged. Seven workers were shot for taking part in the protest.
 In Munich workers were staging strikes and riots and the Nazis pro claimed a state of siege, an uncon- firmed report July 3 from Zurich, Switzerland. revealed.
 The food situation inside Ger many IS desperate, according to ln- formation received by the refugee labor leaders. The main meat prod uct on the German market is a sausage made of blood and pota- toes, carrying blue stamp warning that it must be eaten with "A hours or spoil. In the factories, workers steal axle grease and other oils for frying and eating at home. Fac tory managers try to stop this by ordering poison mixed with all lubricants, which is the cause of many deaths.
 Almost all bread now sold in Ger many is mixed with potato and turnip flour, with sprinkling of an ersatz

As We See It 
 by THE STAFF
FROM the Burlington (Iowa) Hasokeye Gazette:
 CAIN TO APPEAR
 IF HE IS ABLE

A NOVEL way of presenting a union report was adopted by the Cotton Garment and Miscellaneous Trades Department of the Interna- tional Ladies Garment Workers Union at the unions recent cOnven- ton.
 Each delegate received a cleverly contrived cardboard sswheeI of achievement. By turning this wheel, delegates could see at a glance figures giving membership increase, wage rises, bond purchas- es and other pertinent information with regard to each local union and each region.
 IN THE first known case of its kind, the James Gibbons Company of Relay, Md, construction con- tracting firm, is attempting to use one of the most vicious provisions of the Smith COnnally law to smash union of its employees.
 The company filed a $5OO,OOO damage suit in Federal court against two locals of the A. F. of L. Teamsters' Union, charging they called strike without serving the 3O-day notice required under the law. The unions said they ordered the walkout because of company stalling on recognition of the locals as bargaining agencies of the work CTS.
 This may prove a test case of that section of the law which per- mits employers to sue for damages if the required procedure isn't fol- lowed to the last dot of the ssi." Union attorneys declared this will furnish an opportunity to challenge constitutionality of the provision. ''Provocation by the employer in such strike would be strong defense," they said.
 THE bridegroom must have been comfortably cool:
 "The bride wore a white wool winter dress and had a cOrsage of American beauty rOsebuds, dwarf pOmpOm chrysanthemums and white uniform.
 1.-The groom wore his U. S. Navy snapdragons." = Falls City (Neb.) Journal.
 ONE of the many field in which workers are licking the manpower shortage" by vastly increased pro- ductivity is the airplane industry. Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt reported this week that gains in productivity among airpIane work CTS have ''been beyond all expec- tations and almost breath-taking. .''

9O96 Of Workers In Middletown HospitalJoinAFL
Local 398 Sets High Stan dards Of Service For
 Membership
By William J. Griffin, Jr.

ny w AAAcAAAA 0s OA AAAAAA9 y4S
 The, Conn. State Hospital Local 398 of the A.F.S.C.M.E. has during the past four months, brought into the union approximately 9O@o of the employees.
 To account for this splendid suc- cess in organizing, one must look to the program being offered by the union. This program consists of two main features: first, to assist in the speediest total victory in the war and in securing stable peace, secondly, to help the mentally i'll patients who come under their care.
 Local 308 has, in regard to the first part of the program, started and car ried out an outstanding Bond drive in the Fifth War Loan Drive. The union has sold $5,000 in bonds to its mem bership alone. Much of the credit must go to the work of Brothers R. Eddy and J. Gilooiy who head the Bond Committee.
 In addition, large numbers of members have given blood to the Red Cross Donor Service. The com ing Red Cross Drives, War Relief and Community Chest Fund Drives will be strongly supported.
 The union has and will continue to oppose and isolate a "Peace Now'' Movement which has reared its ugly head at the hospital.
 
 With regard to aid to the patients, the union states that it owes a great responsibility to them. It feels that the keynote to good care IS a large number of contented employees. This means that the employees must be well paid, have good working condi4 tions and be offered a chance for ad- vancement. This latter feature of the program is, of course, intimately tied up with the first part. The union rec ognizes the importance of carrying out this desire consistent with the necessities of the war.
 From these broad general aims of the union, has been derived the specific tasks and has resulted in the formation of such committees as Organizing, Publicity, Criev- ance, and Entertainment Commit tees, Two new committees are in process of formation, namely. a Legislative and an Educational Committee.
 With the coming of our new super intendent, Dr. E. C. Yerbury, it is expected that a new Special commit tee, an Employee Administration Committee, will be formed, which will set itself to the important job of working out the manifold problems facing the hospital.
 Harold V. Feinmark, president of the New Haven Central Labor Council, will address the member ship meeting to be held July 12.

Jack Gill Winner
 Of Typo Run-off

Official returns from more than 70oa of the locals involved indicate the election of Jack Gill of Cleveland as secretary-treasurer of the Intl. Typographical Union by majority of more than 10000 over his oppon- ent, William Ward of New York.
 Gilrs election completes the victory of the Progressive Slate of the ITU, which voted for return to the AFL and elected former Sec.-Treas. Wood ruff Randolph to the presidency. The runoff election for secretary-treasurer was held because Gill failed to get clear majority in the first election. Tabulation of the vote unohicia1ly gave Gill 20,422 and Ward 12,6O5.
 Sitting on the ITU executive coun- ci1 with Randolph and Gill will be 1st Vice Pres. Larry Taylor and End Vice Pres. Elmer Brown, also elected on the Progressive slate.

.OPA Plans To Hold
 Ceiling On Rents

The OPA announced this week it would continue to hold the line on rents and that adjustments will be granted only in cases that are clearly deserving.
 Forms for 1andloards to use in ap- plying for rent boosts will be ready Aug. 1. Changes will be allowed in two classes of cases: 1-where the maximum rent is substantially higher or lower than comparable housing in the defense-rental district; 2-where substantial hardship has resulted to the landlord from substantial and un- avoidable increases in property taxes or in operating costs. Tenants have a right to demand a hearing before such increases are granted to offer proof to the contrary.
