Browder Says COP
Victory Would Invite
Civil Wars in Europe
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Election
Of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to the
presidency would be IAN American
invitation to Europe to plunge i'm
mediately or soon into the most
devastating civil war;" asserts Earl
Browder, American Communist
leader.
Mr.. Browder called for reelection
of President Roosevelt at a rally
last night in Madison Square Gar
den, sponsored by the Communist
Political Association, to mark the
25th anniversary of the Communist
movement in the country.
He added that election of the Re-
publican candidate also would end
United States cooperation with
Russia and terminate Americas
participation in a world peace Or
ganization.
"Hitler's and the Mikado's ambi-
ton to embitter our American elec-
ton campaign with the widest and
most irresponsible forms of the
anti-Communist crusade is in the
process of being realized" Mr..
BroWder said.
Would Be Blow to Labor.
Declaring Gov. Dewey's election
would have ''tremendous" conse-
quences on American domestic life
and foreign relations, Mr.. Browder
said:
First, the country will have given
Dewey and his unknown cabinet a
mandate to put labor out of politics.
Second, it will throw the power
and prestige of our Government on
the side of all those elements in
the labor movement, first of all
John l.. Lewis and his motley allies,
who have done everything possible
to organize strike movements OH the
widest and most destructive scale
during the war and who are working
overtime to prepare great strike
wave to break as soon as the war is
over"
Next. he added, it would start a
hunt for hidden Communists" and
cause the atmosphere of the Dies
Committee to rule" and fourth, all
hope of orderly and peaceful
progress would disappear. with Gov
Dewey instituting the order" of the
police and prosecuting attorney.
Declares Victory Only Issue.
Declaring the only issue at stake
in the November election was the
winning of the war and establish
ing long time peace, Mr. Browder
said Gov. Dewey and his followers
had attempted to make Communism
the issue.
candidate Dewey and his parti-
sans are developing the struggle for
office as though it is more important
for Dewey to win the election, by
whatever means, than it is for
America to win the war; Mr.. Brow
der said.
Gov. Dewey's election, Mr.. Brow
der continued. would be a message
to our great ally, the Soviet Union,
which is predominantly led by Com
munists, that America disapproved
in principle of cooperation between
the two countries, accepted it only
as an unfortunate necessity of war
and was determined to bring it to an
end as soon as possible

able to reach an agreement with the
union on all matters except wages.
Accordingly, the question of
wages was referred last week to the

No agreement was reached through
conciliation, and the matter was re-
ferred yesterday to the War Labor

According to Mr.. Kane, the union
has asked for a starting salary of
S25 a week for operators, with $40
after five years service Later the
union offered to accept $38 for five
years employment. The company
it was said, agreed to the starting
pay but offered top salary of $35
for eight years service.
The last contract between the
company and the union expired

Negotiations between Washing
ton hotels and the Hotel Service
Workers Union continued today
Another conference among repre-
sentatives of the hotels and the
union and James Holden of the
Cancellation Service was to be helc
at 2 pm at the Statler Hotel.
I. B. Padway, attorney for the
union, said agreement had beer

inclined TO vote today either Re-
publican or Democratic, with far
more of them going for the Re-
publicans.
Senator La Toilette, the titular
head, and actual head, of the Pro-
gressive party today, is saying moth
ing at this time about the presi-
dental race. He may retain this
silence right through the campaign.
Four years ago he declared for the
reelection of President Roosevelt.
The unknown factor in tbs elec-
ton is the number of voters who
will decide to vote for Mr. Roosevelt
because they believe that by keeping
him in the White House the war
may be won more quickly. This is
the only thing that gives Mr.. Roose-
welt possible chance in Wisconsin,
and it is a slim chance at that,

THESE are trying days and
L being separated from those
we love is one of the hardest
things we have to face. Many
families, however, are able to
be together over the weekend.
Even if the man Of the house is
in the Armed Forces or away
doing war work, he is often able
to come home for at least part
of Saturday and Sunday. If
your husband can do this you
should consider yourself ex-
tremely fortunate, and make
every effort to have these few
hours you spend together really
memorable ones.
One Of the best ways to keep
any man happy is to feed him
we'll; and if your husband has
been eating out in restaurants
or a mess hall all week, he will
relish good, home-cooked meals
more than ever. Trot out the
best you know how! Give him
his favorite dishes done to per-
lection. Make the best biscuits,
