Magazine Sent Free
TO Service Men

COLUMBUS, July 11-OliVer
Hartley, editor of The Ohio
Conservation Bulletin, the Divi-
sion of Conservation official
magazine dealing with hunting,
fishing and conservation mat
ters generally, announces that
the magazine will be sent to a
limited number of service men
or women overseas, on personal
request from prospective recipi-
ents, as required by the Govern
ment.
The subscriptions are being
financed by the League of Ohio
SportSmen and individual con-
tributors who wish to bring
pleasure to the sport lovers now
tied up in the grim business of
war far from home. A $40
check from Capt. Jack Preble
was received from Italy for this
fund after he found how much
the magazine, and other sports
mems periodicals, are appreciat-
ed by "the boys over there" 1t
is suggested that home folk ad-
wise their sons and daughters
who love outdoor Ohio how
they may receive The Bulletin
where ever they may be sent.
They may send their requests
direct, or through family con-
nections here in Ohio.

Nye Race
On
G. Vote

FARGO, N. D. (FP) - T h
campaign of united labor, farm
ers and win-the-war business
men to get rid of isolationlst
Senator Gerald P. Nye has made
the North Dakota Republican
primary race so close that its
winner will not be known until
July 27, the last day for count
ing soldier votes.
Unofficial tabulationS July ]
gave Nye the narrow lead of 953
votes over former American Lee
gion Commander Lynn U. Stam-
baugh, while labor's candidate,
Representative Usher L. Burdick,
gaining rapidly in the farm pre-
cincts, stood only 5000 votes be-
hind Nye. With 80 of the states
2251 precincts to come in, the
county stood, Nye, 38,082; STAN
baugh, 37,129; Burdick, 1897.
1t is still possible for any of
the three to win the Republican
nomination for senator, since
there are 1855 soldier ballots
outstanding. Postponement of
the final date for counting SOL
dier votes to July 27-10 days
later than was originally an
nounced-delays the official de-
cision until one month after the
election itself, though the pres
ent count shows Nye the most
probable winner.
Burdick and the coalition of
CIO, AFL, railroad brotherhoods
and the National Farmers Union,
which flooded city and rural pre-
cincts with mo for Nye" this
spring, will throw their support
to Democratic candidate j o h II
Moses in the fall if Nye wins
the Republican nomination. And
many of the COP businessmen
who supported Stambaugh nn
Win-the- war grounds may also
back the Democratic candidate
against the isolationiSt senator.
Moses, Roosevelt administra-
ton man, was three times elect

and by the national lawmakers
that the situation is becoming
exceedingly d gerous,' he
warned.
Perhaps we need new lead
ership that has the courage and
the interest of the workers at
heart to such an extent that
they will, if necessary, sacrifice
themselves in order to accom-
plish the things that labor
needs" he said, predicting: II
we are more bitterly punished
and crucified by adverse legis-
lation, then labor will become
solidified and those who have
selfish reasons i'm keeping us di-
vided, those who are so unrea-
sonable as not to be willing to
give way to some extent on GER
tain issues will have TO be given
back seats and taken from the
positions of power and influence
that some of them hold today"
Pointing out that no meeting
of the AFL and CIO unity nego-
tiating committees has been
held for % months, the lBT
head appealed to every team
ster to talk to members of the
CIO in frindlineSs' and con-
tact their officers to get nego-
tiationS for a merger resumed.
Every man and woman car
rying trade union membership
can be helpful in this" Tobin
said. And remember, you are
doing it for yourself and your
fellow workers, because when
this war is over unless we have
unified labor movement, you
and all of your associates will
pay an enormous price to hold
anything like the conditions in

visit brief. Don't expect to ac-
complish too much in one visit.
The visit of the canvasser
should not interfere with family
affairs. If the family is at the
dinner table, or the baby is
being bathed, or they have Wis
itors, you should excuse your
self and leave Before leaving
you may set a time when to call
again.
Leave them smiling, so that
they will welcome you the next
time you ring their doorbell
Whatever else you do, or fail
to do, during the first visit, or
any visit after that; NeUer get
into an argument tUith the
people you approach. An argu-
ment will close their minds to
what you have to say And it
will shut their door to you,
when next time you are at their
door
You will be most successful if,
each time you ring a doorbell,
you have some very definite job
to accomplish. You may want
to ask the people to sign a sol

Recreation Places
Overwhelmed

COLUMBUS, July 8. - The
July Fourth vacation period
saw the Ohio recreation areas
overwhelming with pleasure
seekers. War conditions have so
curtailed touring that thousands
of Buckeye residents who for
merly made off for far places
for their vacation periods are
now contenting h m selves
nearer home-and most of them
are finding that Ohio offers
features and facilities they did
not know existed.
Reports received by Conser-
walton Commissioner Don Wat
ers and the Lakes and Parks
Section of the Division of Con-
servation indicate that reserva-
tions for cottage and hotel ac-
comodations at the pleasure re-
sorts are booked ahead to the
end of the season, with thou
sands of requests being doomed
to denial. The season winds up
pretty generally on Labor Day.

sure that members will realize
that it is most difficult to obtain
a meeting of minds with the
leaders of organizations whose
heads are not their own. If the
BRIT. in the course of this wage
movement, could have dealt with
the AFL authorities directly,
without having to bother with
Messrs. Robertson, Fraser and
Cashen, then more reliable un-
derstandings might have been
reached. 1t is always more sat
isfactory to deal with princi-
pals.
Whitney said practice grew
UP with the RLEA whereby the
leaders of the RLEA would
make legislative deals with the
carriers, and he recalled that
the RLEA, over "the vigorous
protest of the BRIT, succeeded
in amending the Railway Labor
Act. outlawing the closed shop
in the railroad industry" and
that BRIT members will under
stand my amusement when IN
1912 the RLEA unions demand

Truth Denied to Gis

WASHINGTON, JULY 10 -
LPA - (Exclusive) - One of
the very highest of high govern
ment officials recently received
request from a soldier con
nected with the staff of Stars
and Stripes asking for gen
eral story giving the truth on
strikes i'm the United States. This
official, after consulting with
several labor officials and other
government agencies to obtain
the facts wrote the story. He, of
course, stressed the few strikes
tkat have actually taken place
and called for soldiers to under
stand what was happening on
the home front.
The story was never carried in
STARS and Stripes despite the
fact that the official in question
was a presidential appointee,

American housewife.

Clinton S. Golden and Joseph

demoralizing factor. Any de-

War workers, anxious about

President c. D. Beck has agreed

cuss an election, but it is doubt

Workers in the Beck plant are
laughing at President Beck's
statement, because they point
out that some of tn, machinery
is so old that it is ready to fail
apart without anyone helping it.
They are saying that it looks
like the company wants the
union to pay for some new ma
chinery which they agree is
badly needed.

them money until they could
pay off out of the goods they
manufacture when they get on
their feet again. High tariffs
and other trade restrictions
would come under attack from
the fund and world bank.
The issues involved in the
monetary conference here bear

copies of Whitney's report

Whitney devoted a large sec
ton to what he called an ex-
pose of the disunity in the rail

MEMBERSHIPS armed with the
facts, will eventually settle the
issue.
Two Charges
The BRIT president fired two
general charges at his former
colleagues: u "That the AFL
unions of the Railway Labor
Executives Assn. are strictly
employer conscious in their pol
icies, that is, the RLEA is con-
servative if not reactionary in
its policies, and not sggressively

president Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen a. Enginemen;
H. w. Frazier, president, Order
of Railway Conductors and T..
c. Cashen, president, Switch
mems Union of North America,
are not acting as independent
heads of operating railroad
unions but as mere subalterns
of the RELA, which is domi-
mated not by unions with oper-
ating interests and understand
ing Of operating problems, but
by incorporating groups.
Their policies are therefore
quite frequently not in the in
terest OF the transportation
workers they represent, but
weighted by considerations of
high policy and high politics OF
the RLEA, i'm which the auto
nomy of their respective Broth
erhoods has been to all intents
and purposes submerged.

WASHINGTON, July IL. -
(FP)-As an example of how
the Fair Employment Practice
Committee can work and how
real unions can operate with it
to get things done, the Phila-
dephia Transportation Co. was
cited as an example July 10.
The Pic announced that it
will accept all qualified appli-
cants for employment with
out regard to the applicants
race, creed, color or national
origin" in compliance with the

quires acceptance of applicants

ployment service.
After previously refusing to
accept an FEPC directive ask
ing the Philadelphia street car
and bus lines to cease discrimi-
nation against Negro employees,
the new announcement amounts
to its acceptance.
Rejected Request
The company's original re-
lection of the FEPC request for
q policy of discrimination
was based on its contention that
contract with the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Employees Union
forbade it.
Then the Transport Workers
Union (CIO) won company
wide election before the NLRB
and the workers recently rati-
fled new contract between the
CIO union and the company
that resulted in the company's
change of heart Now any work
ers may apply for a transfer to
a better position. Negroes now
may be advanced to any job,
including the operation of street
cars and busseS.
