LABOR UNITY, POLITICAL ACTION
URGED AT WDL LUNCHEON

people outside believe it to be. Dis
putes between leaders and the rank
and file arise because labor is not
organized within"
even if we have a third party, our
success would depend on the kind it
is" said William Becker, labor secre-
tary Of the Socialist party. IF it is
in favor of furnishing the German peo-
pie, or does not favor legislation like
an FEPC with teeth in it, it will not
get the grass-root support which is
needed in the battle for democracy"
George LIP Weaver, director of the
national CLIO committee to abolish
racial discrimination, pointed out that
''the seat of reaction is in the agricul-
tural regions where the people are
behind in their thinking" On labor
unity, Weaver declared: 81 would fight
for amalgamation with the ALL, if
they would change their policy of dis
elimination. Competition between
the AFL and CLIO has acted not only
as a stimulus toward organizing work
ers. but toward increasing democracy
in the unions and in local areas. This
is a reason why unity is not impera-
tive"
The need for organization in agri-
cultural areas was re-emphasized by
H. L. Mitchell, president of the South
ern Tenant Farmers Union, who de-
clared, "There are two and a half
million workers including farmers and
who are practically
without organization except for the
STU. 1t is important that these peo-
pie be organized and the only way to
do it is to get help from the organ
lied labor movement"
Joseph Schlossberg, general secre-
emeritus of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers of Amer
lea, CLIO, said 81 believe in independ-
ent political action. We are now, as
always, met with the argument that
this is not the time for it. This has
been true since the campaign of 1896.
AS a result, we have never gotten an
political labor party"
Miss Rose Pesotta, author of Bread
Upon the Waters" for ten years the
only woman vice president of the In
Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, AFL, declared: First and fore
most, we must strive for labor unity.
Cooperation is more important to la
Dor than politics"
1.-THE south would settle for a sec
ond party" according to Frank Nc
Callister of Atlanta, southern secre-
tary of the WDL 1.-THE biggest chal-
Ienge today is to organize southern
on the farms"

PRESS FREEDOM
IN VIRGIN ISLANDS
BEFORE COURT

PHILADELPHIA (WDL) is there
as much freedom of speech and press
in the Virgin Islands and other Amer
lean territories as in the states? This
question was urged last week before
the U. S. Circuit Court in Philadel-
phia by Ernest Fleishman, counsel for
the Workers Defense League and the
Virgin Islands Civic Assn, which filed
q joint friend-of-the-court brief in the
Brodhurst case, which is rocking the
Virgin Islands. Fleischman insisted
territories must enjoy the same free
dom as the states.
The case on appeal is the Virgin
Islands VS.. Canute A. Brodhurst Sr.,
editor, st. Croix AVIS, who had been
convicted with Paul Joseph, editor
West End News, of contempt of court
for statements criticizing federal
Judge Herman E. Moore of Chicago
in his handling of the concluded muir
der case of Harry Beatty.
Ashley L. Totten, president of the
Virgin Islands Civic Association, had
that "class justice" was in
volved in Judge Moore's acquittal of
Harry Beatty ON a murder charge.
Mr. Totten said IAN adverse decision
in this important case would mean
that Virgin Islanders are in effect
second class citizens, and we would
appeal such decision to the United
States supreme court"

COUNTRY WITHOUT A CAPITAL

COUNTRY WITHOUT A CAPITAL
| The identity of the capital of Thai.
land is somewhat of a mystery now
that Premier Kovid Abhaiwong's gov
eminent has given up on Pechabun.
Last January 81, after Bangkok had
been hit hard by Allied bombs, the
Bangkok radio called on the That's to
evacuate that city and declared that
at can be considered that Thailand
no longer has capital"
At that time, however, Thai labor
ers were hard at work building up a
new capital at Pechabun, IT'S miles
northeast of Bangkok. The Pechabun
project was started by former Premier
Luang Pibud Songgram, whose gov
eminent allocated 100000 bahts
(about $7,500,OO0) for new construc-
ton, including 100000 bahts for
schools and 100000 bahts for the
premiers residence.
Despite the fact that much work
had already gone into building up the
new capital, the Abhaiwong govern
ment announced last week that the
project had been abandoned
1.-The government" the Thai radio
explained, decided to abolish the de-
cree made by the previous govern
ment compelling laborers to work in
the construction of Pechabun, as many
of the laborers died or were taken i'll
and many have run away and dare
not return for fear of punishment.
Pechabun will no longer be consid-
cred the capital of Thailand."

| NEW YORK (WDL)-The need fol-
labor unity and political action, within
the two-party system and through a
third party, were discussed by repre-
sentatives of the church, school and
labor, at the luncheon meeting of the
Workers Defense Leagues national
conference on postwar reaction. The
theme of the luncheon was Fighting
for Postwar Democracy"
Asked by chairman Rev. Laurence
T. Hosie, director of Presbyterian
Labor Temple, Where do you think
the most important thing to take hold
of in building postwar democracy
lies" Dr. Eduard C. Lindeman of the
N Y. School of Social Work said:
1.-THE chief source of domestic diff
Guilty in the U. S. will be around
methods of reconverting industry from
a war basis to peacetime production.
The crucial problem is to advise an
economy preventing mass unemploy-
ment."
1.-THE use of labor's force in the
political fight during the last election
should be extended so that the rank
and file of labor will make decisions
as to how political strength will be
used" Pearl L. Willen, chairman of
the Women's Committee of the Lib
eral Party, asserted.
Speaking for third party, Samuel
Wolchok, president of the United Re-
tail, Wholesale and Department Store
Employees. CO.. declared: at is not
enough to have political action in the
clio and the AFL, but it is necessary
to begin thinking about third party.
Labor unions after the war will suffer
and unless they are politically
workers throughout the
world will suffer. The CLIO and AFL
are officially for political action, but
at present opposed to third party,
but l don't think this is true of the
workers of the U. s. If we were to
take vote today, we would find that
millions would welcome the idea of a
third party. In order to prepare po-
we need an instrument and
that is party of workers"
David Schick, assistant to the Presi- |
lent, Upholsterers International I'M

LEE UNDERGROUND

Allied bombing has become so in
tensified that some parts of Germany
are under constant alert, with the
residents of a number of border cities
finding it simpler to set up house in
air raid shelters, according to recent
German and Swedish press dispatches.
In some places, the Stockholm It'd
ningen reported, abandoned mines
have become the sites of underground
communities, including space of groc-
ers, pharmacists and doctors. The
newspaper said that gas was "abso-
lutely unavailable" in the heavily
bombed districts near the front, add
ing that "the inhabitants manage with
provisional stove of brick and stones
in the middle of the ruins"
Declaring that 1--WE cannot possibly
stand under constant alarm" one
Nazi provincial newspaper declared
that the warning system had been
changed in Hanover because it was
found that uninterrupted warnings de-
feated their own purpose. The warn
ing system was changed so that alerts
in the future will be sounded 10 in
stead of 20 minutes before an anti

"Can one get used to that?" he was
asked.
"Oh, yes. We all do"

ETHICS OF SUICIDE

Das Schwartz Korps, official publ

elite Guard), recently printed an
article appealing to nazi leaders not
to follow the practice of German lead
ers who committed suicide after the
collapse in 1918.
Conscious of our theology" the
article said, 1--WE must always regard
suicide of leaders as desertion, if it
is not the only way out. We feel that
man does not belong to himself, but
to his nation, and that he does not
have the right to deprive the people
of his strength so long as he can be
useful and can do harm to the enemy.

600 gate since Terranova has an
nounced he'll fight in "clawing

Terranova accuses Bartolo of
using his thumbs to blind op-

in his lap.
The nine, all unscathed veterans
of at least 18 months In combat
zones, are studying engineering at
the University under the Navy's

candidates out for spring football
practice.
Typical of the group is Howard
Gelsinger, well-built 20-year -old
halfback from Chambersburg, Pa.
He has been in the Navy for more
than two years and can wear rib
bons indicating he has been in II
battles.
Then there is Robert Brown, who
comes from Queens in New York
and has been on submarine patrol
in the Atlantic for two years. He's
a tackle or guard.
