PRESSING THE PRESS
(From Electrical Workers JournaD

(From Electrical Workers JournaD
There is a stirring in the field of
public opinion that looks hopeful. Out
in San Diego, great war boom city
new daily has been launched which
has the backing of all labor groups.
A national commission has been set
up by the University of Chicago to
make a study of the freedom of the
press.
The Atlantic Monthly has an
nounced contest for the best article
on the freedom of the press.
In short, Americans are not supine
under the present newspaper situation
where canned news and editorials are
purve ed by corporation controlled
press on widespread scale.
Inevitable, we believe, is the ulti-
mate founding Of a great labor daily
in the city of Washington by trade
unions. There is no health i'm situa-
ton where news is one-sided prOpo-
sitiOn, and labor must see to it that
the information that is daily received
is accurate, correct and not written
with bias for big business.

America First Party Backed
In Use of Minneapolis Hall

New York City (ILNS).-In offer
ing legal aid to Gerald L. K. Smith of
the American First party in securing
the use of the Minneapolis city audi
torium, for a rally denied recently by
the City Council, the American Civil
Liberties Union replied to an editorial
in the Minneapolis Morning Tribune,
which had held that the question in
volved was not free speech but wheth-
er public building should be used for
such propaganda.
That the "real issue" is the city's
policy in the use of the property, Rog-
er Baldwin, ACLU director, wrote
that the policy could not be based on
political expediency" in according or
denying any particular person the
right to speak.
'.It should be based upon extending
equal facilities to all-comers," Bald
win declared. ''If distinctions are
made between speakers and programs,
decisions will inevitably rest upon the
particular prejudices of those who
happen to constitute majority of the
city council or upon their response to
pressure from one quarter or an
other"

FIND THE BUTTON IN
YOUR CELLAR


Button, button, who's got the but
ton, might we'll be the theme of every
inspector, whether fire, health, build
ing or plumbing. The button in these
cases is the peril or the hazard which
must be found and proper corrective
means applied.
knowledge of fire causes, and espe-
cially of those conditions which permit
a small fire to become serious, is very
essential to good fire prevention.
Without such knowledge inspections
become mere routines, and are a
waste of good effort.
A simple report that cellar con-
tanned rubbish or store was selling
cotton batting in the basement area,
means little, but if this rubbish is be-
meath the stairs or the cotton batting
is open on a table at the foot of the
main stairway, any experienced fire
man can easily visualize the inferno
he must go through to reach the fire.
A study Of fires, made by the fire
prevention bureau of fire depart
ment, indicated that large percent
age of serious fires, both from life
and property standpoint, were those
which originated in Easements and
cellars. An important fact brought
out by the study was the inaccessible
ity of fires in cellars, and the need of
additional entrances affording means
of fighting fire from other than an
interior stairway.
Easements will remain serious fire
menace unless every precautionary
measure is taken to eliminate hazards,
provide proper exits, and see that wa
ter supplies are available in case of
fire. In such fire prevention activity
every home owner and every building
owner, in conjunction with the local
fire department, can render invaluable
service and help prevent the loss of
countless lives and millions of dollars
worth of property.

JUSTICE FOR POST OFFICE
CLERKS

The National Federation of Post
Office Clerks is working for passage
of a bill, now pending in Congress,
granting time and half for work
over 40 hours a week by postal en-
ployees. Their present overtime scale
is no different from that for hours
within the 40-hour week. 1t would
seem that they have solid ground for
complaint.
The national wage-hour statute has
established time and half generally
as basis for overtime wages, so why
should postal employees not have the
same consideration

dustry."
The evolution of joint production
machinery as it is now used in Great
Britain is traced, as a sort of wartime
phenomenon, through phases A
high amount of Capitalization marked
the first phase, in government, labor
and industry alike Most efforts at col
laboration were restricted to ap-
proaches on the national scale in that
first winter of the war. With the fall
of France in 1910 joint production en-
tered its second phase. The govern
ment obtained from Parliament an ex-
tention of emergency powers permit
ting full mobilization of the nations
resources, both human and material
The third phase, beginning in
April, 1941, saw the passage of the
Essential Work Orders, which meant
vastly strengthened controls over en-
ployment and conditions of work
Once again the joint production ma
chinery was expanded. Further decen-
tralization was obtained, and the ma
chlnery reached into new fields of gov
ernment action. The fourth and pres
ent phase opened in the first half of
1912. At this time Britain began it's
most thorough-going campaign to
eliminate labor wastage." Largely
owing to the initiative of organized
labor, the report points out, joint pro-
duction committees at this juncture
became 'two-way" instruments for
channelling the contributions of the
workers up from the bench, to the
management, and then to the regional
and national level.
For the first time it was nationally
recognized that representative of
workers and representatives of man
agement in individual establishments
could usefully meet together to save
man-hours and increase production, ]"
the report says in summarizing this
final phase.

sales of women's and children's wear
ing apparel at prices no higher than
their top lines in March 1912, when
they can no longer stock their shelves
at 1912 prices.
They are forced to see their old Gus
toners buy from competitors who
were not in the ow-priced apparel
field two years ago and are therefore
not subject to the March 1912 Highest
Price Line Limitation Order, and can
buy and sell at current prices.
No philosopher in OPA has yet ex-
planned this unexplainable ruling.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

TOINT labor r-management-g
ment production machinery has
prayed a conspicuous role in the Brit
ish war program, the International
Labor Office emphasized in report
just issued at Montreal.
Intended primarily as a discussion
of the rapid manner in which govern
ment, labor and industry enmeshed
their resources in the last years, the
273-page volume examines Gre
Britain's collaborative experiences at
every level Joint production machin-
cry, even though it is entirely volun-
tary, has appeared in every phase of
duction.
Establishment of joint production
committees has been sponsored equal
ly by national trade union organiza-
tions and national employers associa-
ton, plan which 'has brought wide
spread extension and acceptance" the
report declares. Advisory in character
only, these joint committees neverthe-
less have had wide influence" over
all matters relating to production and
increased efficiency, the volume con-
tinues On the other hand, "The COM
mittees may not discuss trade ques-
tions, such as wages, or any matters
which are covered by agreements with
trade unions or which are normally
dealt with by approved machinery of
negotiation. This limitation is accept
ed because there already exists in
Great Britain widespread, generally
satisfactory and recognized system
for the determination of working con-
ditions :"
Three significant factors have made
for the success of the joint machinery,
the report points out First, "the
whole system is based upon recogni-
tion that every human and material
resource must be fully mobilized for
the prosecution of the war" Second,
wartime mobilization of resources
was greatly facilitated by the volun-
tary establishment in 1910 of special
for avoiding industrial dis
putes and stoppages of work" Third,
