 WHEN Mayor Edward J. Jeffries of Detroit attacked the New Deal in Chicago speech last week he drew the fire of all groups in his home town. The AFL through its weekly journal said: ''The mayors incorporate attack on the presi- dent was a disservice to the com. munity."

The most spectacular progress, the de. pertinent said, has been in the rail. road field, where we'll over 90 per cent of the clerical employees have been organized by the Railway Clerks.
 Substantial advances have been made, too, among telephone and telegraph workers; in the postal service and ether government de partments, and in the entertain ment field, among musicians and actors. For the nation as a whole, the department estimated that one.

UAW-AFL Wins Two Smashing Victories

Two NLRB elections of extreme interest and signigcance have been won by the UAW-AFL. In Decatur, H., the UAW-AFL, by a margin of GA to 1, removed the dual movement which had held bargaining rights in the plant of the Leader Iron Works. This was an easy victory over a union which had more than adequate time to prove its worth to the work CTS, who are well aware of what the UAW-AFL is doing for other work CTS in the Decatur area.
 In Milwaukee, Wis, the JAW AFL won by margin of 122 votes, a sweet victory over a powerful, company dominated, independent union after a long, bitter fight at the three plants of the Trackson Co. Though the UAW-AFL lost an cleo ton in this plant a year ago due to unfair tactics on the part of the com pany, the fight for real unionism con- tinued.

On nTheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick


 Behind the moves and counter moves in the recOnversion battle here there has just appeared dim outline of what is back of some of the forces. Basically, the same peo- pie who first opposed conversion to war are now fighting against plan ming for gradual and immediate conversion to civilian production.
 And the folks in industry who were willing to go along with enlightened labor ln converting auto plants and factories to war output are now up in front urging planned conversion to peace where 1t will not hurt the war effort
 It also appears there are the usual reasons for resisting change and a growing major factor that is entirely political.
 Those whose actions are politi- cally inspired know that cutbacks this fall to throw a million or two million idle workers onto the coun- try might have a real effect on the November elections.
 Not only that but they feel that this action would help them wreck, the power of organized labor.
 Another cute plan revealing the thinking of the top automotive folks in Detroit apparently has been wrecked on the rocks of priorities.
 This scheme, centered in General Motors and Ford, was to break up the big Detroit plants into smaller, di- verSlfed units scattered in the south and low wage areas.
 Inside dope here is that the mo. tor mOguls were chewing over this plan for some time as a means of escaping from what they feel is high priced labor and the strong unions in the Detroit area. But they were not able to get the priori. ties to move into action. And they forgot, apparently, that the New England textile interests had exact. ly the same plan and moved south to escape the organized might o1 the labor unions back in the 3O's.
 The unions, fortunately, moved south with the machines and the same thing would occur in auto.
 If any one thing could make the auto interests start acting on a re- conversion plan and shake them loose from these dreams of idle workers and busted unions, it would be competition
 Perhaps the only source of compe- tlton is the aircraft industry, which isn't doing too much original thinking for itself.
 But if a couple of major aircraft manufacturers, say Lockheed or Kaiser, would move to go into au- tOmobile production as a Sway Out' of their production problem. this corners guess is that Detroit's motor czars would rush pell.meII into recOnversiOn, cooperate with labor and the government in hand. ling the issue.
 It will take that to get their minds off the thought of beating Roosevelt, the unions and their labor costs all in one blow by simply baking at intelli- gent planning.
 Perhaps the first American corpora ton to advance large credits to the Soviet Union IS General Electric GE has agreed to loan the Soviets $25 million a year for 10 years making a total of $250 million. Most of the money will go into rebuilding the great hydroelectric dams destroyed in | the Nazi inva sion
 DuPont is also working on a gi- gantlc credit advance for Soviet in- dustry.

Lack Of Planning
 Inviting Chaos?
President Of International Association Of Machinsts Warns Senate Committee United States Is
 Facing Very Great Danger

One of the industries in which anxiety among workers over post war jobs has been most acute is that of aircraft. This industry zOomed spectacularly from a few thousand employees before the war to few million now.
 Cutbacks are due to take a terrific toll of jobs in the industry unless proper planning to maintain employ ment Is undertaken now, President Harvey w. Brown of the Internation- al Association of Machinists declared this week.
 He voiced the warning in testimony before the war contracts subcommit- tee of the Senate Military Affairs Committee and presented a thorough going and carefully thought-out pro- gram for easing the shock of cut backs.
 Brown, whose organization is domi- nant in the aircraft field, declared bluntly that the Hack of long-range planning is appalling"
 elf the German war should end tomorrow there would be chaos and confusion in American industry ' he said, "since no organization has been set up with authority and power to organize the economy fol peace as we have organized fOI war"
 The Machinists' chief suggested first of all, better coordination be- tween the military agencies, SO that when one branch cancels an aircraft contract the other can step into the breach with other work that remains to be done
 As pruning becomes essential, con tracts should be transferred iron companies with large back1ogs tc those plants facing cutbacks or com p1etion of their war orders, Browr urged.
 Also, cuts should be concentrated he said, in those companies and area! where the released manpower anc facilities can most readily be adapted to other production uses.
 Companies which have subcon tracted heavily to small firm. should be the last to suffer anC when they are fnally ordered tC cut back, they should be required to distribute the cut fairly among all sub-contractOrs SO that all are treated alike, Brown insisted.
 He suggested that reductions be SC arranged as to avoid creation of ghosr towns, and that wherever possible cuts should be made in government. owned plants before in privately | owned factories.
 Workers who must transfer because of loss of jobs or redistribution o1 contracts should nave their transpor- tation costs paid. Liberal unemploy- ment benefits should be provided keep up purchasing power, Browr added.
 Above all, Brown asserted, em. plOyees should be notified of cut. backs in advance and at the same time as their employers, SO that they, too, can make plans for them selves.
 "Workers should not be considered second class citizens he said. "Tht military chiefs of staff are going tc discover that workers will leave wal work in even greater numbers, if through false rumors or improper in

 EVEN THOUGH wages are prac- tically frozen during the war, there is still lot of room for collective bargaining. The International Bro. therhOod of Electrical Workers this week pointed out, for example that its locals have made impres. sive advances in winning longer va cations and sick leave with pay.
 In the July issue of its ''Jour nal," the Brotherhood published results of a study of these gains in the utility industry, particularly as to sick leave.
