The spectacular fire in The shop,

Fire Commissioner Nate 5.

particularly interested in the

In an effort to clear the

days draft order, state Sc
lective service heads in no
language today
ordered Michigans 1913 draft
boards to halt induction and
examination of men 70 and
over engaged in essential
war work or war supporting
activities.
Brig. Gen Leroy Pearson, state
selective service director, warned,
however. that the new regulation
would mean A respite Of only 30
to so days for those over rs be-
cause of the comparatively few
men in the lower age group.
Gen. Pearson said that monthly
quotas would be ignored by local
draft boards until the supply OF
men under rs is exhausted.
I'm other words" he said, "K
one draft board has Ave men
under IS Available and another
has 80. their quotas for tho
month would be Ave and So"

Despite this apparently clear
edict from Hershey men over 26

ton center today.

The chief clerk at the Muskegon

Winning The War Business Men WilBeMainIssue Who Cyped 5. At A.F.L. Farley Get Slap On Wrist
Federal Trade Commission Exposes Skullduggery In
 Shipyard Rehabilitation

How score or more business men teamed up to ''gyp'' Uncle Sam was revealed this week by the Federal Trade Commission in an expose of amazing skull-duggery in connection with the rehabilita. tiOn of the Cralnp shipyard, in Philadelphia.
 Curiously, the offenders escaped with censure and nothing further will be done about it. The commission simply directs them to "cease and de- s1st" colluslve and fradulent bidding on contracts for supplying materials to rehabilitate the facilities at the shipyard."
 At the outbreak of the war the government agreed to advance funds to enlarge the Cramp ship. yard. The concern got into fnan. cial troubles during the depression and had been idle for several years. A group of Philadelphians bought the property at forced sale, but lacked means to get it into com mission.
 The new company contracted with Charles F. Rohleder of Philadelphia to do the expansion work on cost plus-fxed-fee basis, with the under standing he would obtain competitive bids from "as many reputable firms as possible and award contracts for material and equipment to the lowest bidder.
 'On numerous occasions there. after," the commission said, 'SRoh. leder or his agents and various suppliers cooperated in the prepa. ration of sham, false, fictitious. fraudulent and non-competitive bids"
 Among the concerns involved was the Westinghouse Electric and Supply Company, and the commission uses it as an example to show how the crooks pulled the wool' over the eyes of navy agents who supervised the work
 Westinghouse, the commission said, obtained the letter head of other electrical concerns and used it to prepare and submit fictitious bids, forging the signatures of officials of companies which were being used as blinds.
 These fake bids, of course, were invariably higher than those sub- mitted by Westinghouse, which got the business.
 How much Uncle Sam lost on these transactions the commission did not reveal, if it really knows. The extent of the loot may never be known, un- less the Department of Justice prose cutes, and there is nothing to indi- cate it will proceed along that line.

Peace Program Will Also Be Formulated At Great New
 Orleans Conclave

With its membership at the greatest peak in all history, the American Federation of Labor will open its 64th annual convention and the third during the present war-at the Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans on November 20.
 More than 600 delegates from all parts of the United States, Canada and American possessions, including many from affiliated railway labor unions, are expected to attend Fra ternal delegates from the British Trade Union Congress and observers from the labor movement of other nations are also due to be present
 John J. Egan, secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, will represent the Feder- atiOn.
 Deliberations of the convention will be geared to labor's No. l goal of winning the war" President William Green and Secretary Treasurer George Meany made it clear in a call to all affiliated unions. Second in importance, they said, will be the formulation of labor's proposals for winning the peace."
 "The winning of the war;" they de- clared, lis supplemented by an equal determination on the part of the work ing people of our country to formulate peace program that will spell Secur- ity for all people in the future
 Federation spokesmen predicted the convention will renew labor's no- strike pledge, but will at the same time insist that ''the government keep its side of the bargain" namely, to give labor a square deal on wages. Prompt elimination of the Little Steel" wage freezing yardstick will be demanded.
 The convention is expected also to call for adequate labor representation at the peace table
 For the home front, it is antici- pated the cOnventiOn will demand recOnversiOn legislation on the or der of the Kilgore bill to ease un- employment in the transition from war to peace, as well as great pulp lie works projects and other pro- posals to bring about full employ ment.
 Plans will be laid, too, for a re- newed battle to win adoption in Con- gress of the Wagner-Dinge1l bill for cradle to the grave" social security. Sessions are expected to last 10 days to two weeks.

Says People Have Given A Mandate

Washington, D. C. = AFL President William Gre II hailed the election results not only as a mandate for Presi- dent Roosevelt but for basic issues in which labor is vitally interested.
 Isolationism, he declared, was overwhelmingly rejected by the American people, while such goals as quick victory and jobs for all in the postwar period were endorsed by exclamation" "
 To win these goals, Mir. Green , called upon all Americans regard less of party affiliation, to wash out campaign antagOnisms and unite for victory in the war and in the peace.
 Particularly gratifying, Mir. Green declared, were the results of most Congressional contests, wh h showed that most, of the candidates endorsed by the AFL in accord with its non-partisan political policy triumphed.
 Another big break for labor came when the voters of California by an indicated two to one majority defeated the proposed State Constitutional amendment banning the union shop. The text of MT. Greens comment or the elections, phoned from his home in Ohio where he went to vote, follows:
 "The results of the election consti- tute a mandate not only for the Presl- dent and his party but for certain basic issues.
 ''The American people in this election have overwhelmingly re- jected isOlatiOnism. That should be clear to everyone and it is the best possible augury for the establish ment of lasting peace based upon international cooperation.
 ''Both major tickets promised to drive forward to victory in this ; war in the shortest possible time and to press for program of economic security, with jobs for all, in the postwar period. These major goals, therefore, have been endorsed by exclamation.
 'To attain them, however, it is vital that both sides forget and forgive the bitterness engendered by the political campaign and that all Americans march forward united as never before toward prompt victory and enduring peace.
 } It is still too early to judge def- nitely the outcome of contests in Con- gress but the returns now in show that an overwhelmingly large number . of candidates endorsed by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, in accord ance with its non-partisan political policy have won"

 In addition to inviting the busi- ness agents to the next meeting, action was taken to tell each local about the progress which has been made so far in recognizing the State Building Trades Council.
 The question of per capita tax was given much consideration, at the meet ing, and it was decided to keep it as low as possible, with just enough revenue coming in to pay the expenses of the State Council of Carpenters.
