list of New York, is certain the
fate of this magnificent waterfowl
is doomed unless immediate prac-
tical, and efficient work is applied
both in raising and protecting IL.
Sportsmen and bird lovers all
over the United States should be
interested in preventing the ex-
tinction of this largest of living
native birds of North America.
IT'S THE LARGEST
The magnificent trumpeter
swan is the largest of all Ameri-
can waterfowl. Its average weight
is over 80 pounds and it has a
wing spread from eight to 10 feet.
They were once plentiful
throughout the Great Lakes dis
trict and Northwest prairies.
They nested as far south as the
Ozarks in Missouri.
Follett is confident that by In
telligent work they can be saved
and outlines plan on how IT can
be accomplished.
The trumpeter swan should be
raised by domesticated fowls and
sufficient number of the cygnets
(young swans) pinioned before
they are two weeks old for future
breeding purposes. Follett said
here today following an inspection
tour with this writer through the
Centennial and Red Rock valleys
where the federal government
maintains a refuge for these birds.
SUFFER IN CAPTIVITY
"AI animals, whether they be
birds or mammals, captured In
the wild suffer In captivity,
while those bred In confinement
are contented," Follett stated.
A few weeks ago 20 trumpeter
swans were captured, trapped and
run down with motor boats at the
federal governments Red Rock
Lakes sanctuary and shipped 70
the Malheur Refuge near Burns
Ore.
1t is the method in capturing
and separating them from the
home flock after having lived in
the wild that Follett objects 10.
at not only IL brutal but ex-
pensive and the sexes are I'M
balanced. As a result they will
not breed for several years after
those bred by domestic fowls.
Some may never breed" he de-
clared.

ENEMY EQUIPMENT SHOWN
WORK ERS

Members of organized labor pro-
ducing for the Navy will be given the
opportunity to see equipment made by
their enemies-the slave workers of
Germany and Japan through a
series of exhibits being sent to war
plants under the auspices of the Navy
departments industrial incentive di-
vision.
This captured equipment is similar
to that made by free union workers in
America and for which the demand by
the Navy is constantly growing. Four
of these exhibits already are in the
field making visits to war plants and
others are being prepared to follow.
All of the exhibits are different. Va

shells, electrical devices, gears, radio
equipment, compasses, plane parts,
rubber articles, signal devices, COM
munications equipment and many
other items are shown.
The exhibits bring home to the
American war workers the type of
work being made by enemy workers
whom they must out-produce to at
tain the final victory. The exhibits

But there are and must be limits
to army supremacy. 1t is important
that reconversion plans be at point
where they will meet the necessities
when the war ends.
But clearly Gen. Somervell doesn't
think so and his conduct has made
clear his intention to stall off recon-
version plans as long as he can
That seems to have been one of
the reasons for his attack on labor.
We have manpower controls and
we have controls for materials. These
are in civilian hands and the army
ought to keep hands off. 1t is up to
the army to place orders for it's needs,
But civilian controls must operate
from there on, if the army is to be
kept in it's right relation to the people
of this country.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is
mighty important. 1t is to be hoped
that the army itself will realize this
need. Labor doesn't have any pam
ming coming from the army. None
whatever, despite a few foolish and
very nasty strikes.

upon the abusers in time. &C. M. w

of thousands of American boys fight

They know the thrill of victory
the victory of free labor over the slave
labor of the Axis forces.
And they are looking forward to an
even greater thrill-the sight of their
sons and daughters and loved ones re-
turning home safe and sound when
the fighting ends and peace is once
more restored.
This Labor Day marks the fiftieth
anniversary of the celebration of La
Dor Day as legal national holiday.
Even in wartime, even though mill
tary requirements may compel us to
remain on the job on this traditional
holiday, we must not overlook the
symbolic significance of this golden
jubilee celebration.
For our American Labor Day is
the nations formal acknowledgment
of its debt to its loyal workers in
peace as well as in war and an annual
recognition of the rights and freedom
and accomplishments of the men and
women who toll for a living.

enemy attack.
There are 200 Japanese workers
who have special reason to rejoice
over the American landings on Num-
foor Island, off the northwest coast of
Netherlands New Guinea. When Gen.
eral MacArthur's men July invaded
this Japanese-held air base at the en-
trance of Geelvink Bay, they found
hundreds of Indonesians who had been
transported there from other Neither
lands East Indies islands to work on
defense projects.
Among them were Indonesians who
were on the verge of death as a re-
suit of starvation, overwork and di-
sease. Medical personnel of Amer
lean hospital ships were Immediately
assigned to treat these workers, a
number Of whom were in such critical
condition that they need blood trans
fusions.
Throughout the night, the U. S.
doctors, nurses and aides, in addition
to caring for American wounded
worked over the Javanese. Most of
the victims of japanese cruelty pulled
through, but some were beyond help
and died en- route to Australia.

ORGANIZED LABoR's GOAL

The labor movement of America de-
mands for all our people the full bene-
fit of the life-giving forces of our
marvellous civilization through con-
stantly increasing wages and improve
ment of working conditions and
through reasonable and proper re-
duction in the hours of work.
The labor movement Of America
demands for the wage earners and
for all who serve usefully in any ca
pacity, sound and just economic
basis for life and freedom in the full
est meaning of those terms. The la
Dor movement Of America has ever
had high regard for the development
of the ethical and spiritual in life, re-
alizing the right of all humanity to
partake freely of the satisfaction that
comes to enrich life as result
The labor movement of our country,
recognizing the fact that all freedom
and all higher development of life,
rest upon first providing assurance
of the essentials of existence, has first
demanded economic justice as a basis
for other things.
But the labor movement has always
taught that the material is essential
to something higher, and that the in
spiration of our movement has it's
deepest springs in something above
and beyond the material The labor
movement strives for economic inn
provement with unrelenting zeal and
fidelity because economic improve
ment is the first fundamental requi-
site; but it holds out to all mankind
a flaming torch lighting the way to
greater fullness of life, to complete
realization of the finer aspirations of
the mind and soul.
The labor movement fixes as its
goal nothing less than the complete
richness of life, without limitations
Of any kind, the attainment of the
complete human ideal, in all of it's
economic, ethical and spiritual impli-
cations-From a Labor Day and La
Dor Sunday proclamation suggested
by the AFL convention, 1923.

INJURY TOTAL 10000

Washington, D. C. GLNS) An
estimated total of 2,280,000 mandays
of production was lost during Janu-
ard and February, 1914 as a result
of injuries experienced at work, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics reports.
Injuries in manufacturing plants
disabled $4,000 employees in January
and 10000 in February. Of these ap-
proximately four tenths of l percent
were fatal and about percent, at the
time reported, had developed into per-
manent physical disabilities.

1t sounds easy when you read about
it in the papers, but how would you
like to try to salvage sunken Jap
anese seaplane about DO miles from
a Jap seaplane base? Well, the Sea-
bees, miracle men" of the navy and
a majority of whom were recruited
from the ranks of organized labor,
not only tried to do it, they did it.
And that is but one of the many duties
performed in recent months by divers
of that Seabee unit.
Queried as to the possibility of
salvaging the plane, the Seabee diving
crew responded in keeping with their
slogan, "Can Do" They went to the
scene in a reconditioned Jap landing
barge and raised the slightly dam
aged plane just before dark. They
anchored among nearby islands that
night rather than run the risk of
returning to their base through the
American air and surface patrols.
Early next morning, the salvage crew
brought back the plane.
Stationed at an advanced base, the
divers often find themselves on the
oceans bottom when enemy action
threatens. The crew, topside, can not
hurry the Divers ascent because OF
the danger of bends and the diving
crew frequently becomes an easy tar
get for enemy planes.
One such incident was when a diver
was sent down to retrieve a disbursine
officers safe. The safe was located
after a two-hour search in 132 feet Of
water at the bottom of a coral slope

celebrated by free American workers
in the future as day Of dedication
to renewed efforts to improve living
standards, widen the opportunities
which our democracy affords and make
our country a better place in which
to live.
For the Forthcoming triumph of
American democracy over the forces
of fascism must be the forerunner of
finer things to come, the beginning of
new era of world peace in which all
the peoples of the world will be able
to grow and expand and prosper in
an environment Of friendship and Sc
curity.
That is labor's foremost postwar
goal, toward the achievement Of which
we invite all human beings of good
will to join with US.
War has required the American
people to make many harsh and heavy
sacrifices. The coming of peace may
likewise invoke temporary hardship
until the problems of adjusting indus
try and production to new economic
conditions are met.
But the workers of America will
face the challenge of the future as
they have responded to the impact OF

their spirit undaunted by any Difficult
ties that may impede the march OF

For the vision we see ahead is toe

RESEARCH CHIEF HITS
OLD PARTY PLATFORM

New York City (ILNS). - Both
Democratic and Republican party
platforms are wholly inadequate to
meet the postwar needs of labor, in
the opinion of DR.. Broadus Mitchell,
director of research for the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers. Un-
ion and former professor of economics
at Johns Hopkins University. Ac-
cording to Dr. Mitchell, only the So
cialist platform meets the need for
fundamental economic changes to in
sure full employment.
In analyzing the labor planks of the
major parties, DR.. Mitchell asserts
that both rely on patchwork meth
DDS for labor security" The Demo-
Gratis devote themselves to self-con-
graduation, forgetting that in 1893
the U. S. had 10 million unemployed
and the Republicans want return
to free enterprise, he says.

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things. sometimes
profoundly. sometimes flippantly. some
times recklessly.

Our army is mighty fine fighting
organization 1t has made few mis-
takes, but mostly it has done the right
things at the right time, in the fight
ing line.
But in the realm of public relations
the army has not been SO hot. 1t
could profitably take some lessons.
Gen. Somervell's slashing attack on
labor for not producing enough is a
case in point.
1t is long ways from clear just
what the General meant, for he con-
tradicted himself in at least one i'm
portant matter.
The fact appears to be that pro-
duction has been going mighty WE'LL
No nation has done any better and
generally speaking none has done so
well.
But the General made it appear to
the country that labor has been lying
down on the job in wide range of
products which just isn't so.
In addition to this needless and
painful outburst, there has been too
much covering up Of mistakes by the
army
There are indications that the army
told for itself a much better story
about Saipan than was warranted and
that later maybe much later - we
shall hear quite different story.
As for the production business, one
writer has said that Somervell is an
old line industrialist who likes to see
a 'labor pool" and who, for that rea-
son, wants to keep war goods pro-
duction going when and where it is
not needed.
Army public relations men prob
ably know how to treat the civilian
population of free nation, but some
of the brass hats do not know.
Unless there is a real honesty in
the army's attitude toward the people
the people will get square with the
army pretty soon after peace comes.
That's something the army ought
to realize.
During war time the army-and
the navy, too-are pretty much in
control of many things. They control
everything bearing on the war.
Congress can curb that control, but
there are few who care to step in and
cancel any army judgment while war
is on.
But when peace comes civilian con-
troll can and will reassert itself.
The more brass hat boobery the
army hands the people now, the more
rigid will be the civilian clamp-down
when peace returns.
The relation of civilian government
to military establishment will be more
important after this war than it was
before, because we shall for long
time have large army that will be
able to keep itself large for the SIM
pie reason that not for some time
will anyone care to risk cutting down
too much in world that may show
signs of turbulence for no one knows
how long.
