won a partial victory in their legal at
tack on the constitutionality Of legis-

law requiring unions to file annual
statements of their income and ex-

But Judge Wall held unconstitutional
portions Of the law which would have
limited picketing, the soliciting of
membership and dues on employers
of business, and Interference with the

that the military authorities in Hawaii

Fighting the charges, Edward j.

Attorney General, made an effort to
show that martial law In Hawaii not
only was required for security but that
acts OF the military courts were legal
and valid.
Two Cases At Issue
The Circuit Court of Appeals took
under consideration the issue Of the
legality of continued martial law In
the islands. A federal court In Hawaii
ruled some time ago against the gov
ernment, which brought the case here
on appeals.

WPB Official Says
Statement Made In Address
Before Union Conven-

ST. Louis NS).-The vital role of
many civilian Industries in the war
program was strongly emphasized here
BY Joseph ID. Keenan,, labor vice chair
man Of the War Production Board, in
addressing the 10Th general convention
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen Of North America.
Steady progress toward defeat of
the Germans and japanese Is made
possible not only by the overwhelming
flow Of war equipment from the na-
tions assembly lines, but also by the
unheralded efforts of the men and
women whose work in stores, laun-
dries, and other essential Industries
makes it possible for war workers TO
do their jobs, Keenan, declared.
He called on labor unions, cOmmun-
ity organizations, and federal, state
and local governments to improve COM
munity services, emphasizing that
many war workers-especially women
find they cannot keep job in a war
plant because shopping facilities, laun-
dry services, childcare centers and
other war-supporting activities are in
adequate.
Keenan, pointed out that, despite
their Importance. the efficiency of these
industries is often lowered by un-
healthful and unsafe working cOndi-
tions.

Women Urged To

Fifteen Million Feminine
Employees Seen In Post
Wur Labor Force

Washington, d. G. ULNS).-Many
housewives, teen-age girls, and grand
mothers who have exchanged aprons,
books, and needlepoint for overalls and
a war job, will voluntarily turn TO
other pursuits at the close Of the war.
But at least 2 million more women
than before the war probably will need
10 remain In the labor force, and a
larger proportion of these than former
ly will be older women.
These are some Of the forecasts
made In bulletin just published by
ahe Women's Bureau, L. $. Depart
ment OF Labor, previewing women's
postwar economic problems.
Predicting that there may be around
IL million women In the immediate
postwar labor force, the report points
out that even I'm 1910 every fourth
woman was paid worker, 1874 mil
lion being I'm the labor force, while
today every third woman Is IA paid
worker, over 16 million women being
In paid employment.
Considerations Listed
The report explains the predicted
increase OF women In the labor force
partly on the basis OF historical trends,
but also points to the following con-
Siderations
1T Is not likely that the millions
Of women who were In the pre-war Ia

Hos Out1ndtched
Dictator Notions
Secretary Of The Navy For
.restdl Gives Summary OF
Lubors War Record

Washington, d. C. uLNS).-"Free
American labor has worked In way
that the Axis nations, using the Ges-
tapO and machine guns as Incentives,
could not match"
That is the summary OF labor's war
record made. by James FOrrestal, the
new Secretary OF the Navy.
Secretary FOrrestal's statement was
made In discussing past and present
performance and postwar OutlOOks.
He reviewed the situation In America
prior to the japanese attack on Pearl
HarbOr and what labor has done to
ward of the aggressOrs since that
time concluding with an expression OF
confidence as to postwar conditions In
this country.
Human Values Overlooked
He said the dictator nations reached
a high state of efficiency prior to the
war but their leaders overlooked the
fact that 1t was efficiency gained mt
the sacrifice OF human and spiritual
values without which the foundations
of the state become rOtted timber
FOrrestal said there were misgivings
about the ability of the demOcracies
to wage war against these super
efficient states, yet democracy has
proved to be match for and will
prove to be the master Of these super
men and their war machines"
After Pearl HarbOr, the Secretary
said, this nation took mighty breath
and went to work. That labor really
went to work is shown by his next
statement:
1.-TWO years later America had
trained and equipped huge army and
a strategic air force greater than that
of any other nation. 1t had built a
Navy in terms Of both sea and air
power greater than the combined naval
strengths Of the rest of the nations OF
the world.
while doing this 1t turned out mu-
nitions OF war for It's Allies as well as
itself; 1t produced ships and material
that enabled the British and ourselves
