Meanwhile, along the highways
west of Odessa disorderly groups
of Axis troops were overtaken by the
Red Army. Hundreds were run
down and crushed under the treads
Of Russian tanks, and other were
sabered by cavalrymen or moved
down by tommy gunners on motor
cycles.
Situation Changed
The capture of Odessa and OPEN
ing of the campaign to clear the
Crimea radically changed the stra-
tegic situation in the Black Sea the
alter, giving the Soviet feet adj
vanced bases from which to threat
en- the German bases on the west
coast.
While one column broke through

IL 1-2 mile advance that carried
into the Ishun hill defenses guard

ments Of the 4th Army waded and

railway junction Of Dzankhoi.

sions have been trapped without
hope Of escape except by sea or air

was recommended last August by
an American Bar association COM
mittee.
In Hull's weekend statement OF
foreign policy he said the proposed
international organization to main
tain peace and prevent aggression
must provide FOR SD international
court. This court would develop and
apply law to settlement of inter-
national controversies and seek to
extend the field of such controv-
ersies in which judicial adjustments
might be obtained.
That was substantially the avow-
ed purpose of the world court re-
pected by the senate nine years ago
after almost IL years Of intermit-
tent conferences, debate and dis
pute President Harding asked the
senate to advise and consent to
American adherence to the world
court on February "a, 1928. The SEN
ate approved adherence on January
81, 1925, but subject to reservations
From that date until September
IA, 1929, there were various efforts
through the League of Nations to
devise a formula whereby other
court signatories and the senate
could agree on the basis for
American adherence.
Nothing further happened on the
issue until the spring Of 1884 when
public hearings attracted multi
tude of witnesses and world atten-
ton. but it was not until January
1885, that the senate finally voted
under pressure of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. Twenty Democrats
joined with II Republicans and one
member each of the Progressive and
Farmer-Labor parties to defeat
American adherence.
Hull evidently Is confident thai
the result would be different on
such question now. He told his
weekend audience that the Amer
lean people now have the know
ledge and conviction that only
through unity Of action can there
be achieved in this world the re-
suits which are essential for the
continuance Of free peoples"

Hershey's orders to state directors
did not indicate the total number
of deferments that would be made
possible under these restricted &C.
tivities, nor did they state what
numbers would be deferred in each
Of the special categories.
The 100000 agriculturally deferred
registrantS under rs are not affected
by the order because their defer
ments are subject to the provisions
Of the Tydings amendment to the
Selective Service Act which pro-
videS that they must be necessary

work.
The inter-agency committee, un-
der War Manpower Chairman Paul
v. McNutt, which drew up the new
deferment list was meeting today
to study deferment quotas for spe-
cific plants.
Officials said the list would go
out to local boards soon, possibly
today, to speed up the reclassifica-
ton and induction Of younger men.
The drafting Of men In the higher
age brackets, now suspended, will
start anew when that reclassifica-
ton Is completed.

A Prediction
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
At the time this leaves my
pen, the results of the regis
tration are unknown, so I'm
going to do a little predicting.
In a few short words, / be-
lieve the registration is going
to be a great success.
Why will the registration be
successful? That should not
be too hard to answer. 1t will
succeed because the CIO
went out and got its workers,
their families, friends and
sympathizers to register.
All l hope is that you won't
publish this letter unless the
registration really is success
full. Boy! Would my face be
red. OF course, if this turns
out to be the truth, | naturally
will take credit for being
good political forecaster. May
be | can get a job with the
editor of a certain local sheet
who either guesses wrong
most of the time, or who
changes his guess after his
first guess fizzles out.

Teamwork Pays

No better illustration of the value of
teamwork and cooperation could be found
than the registration drive which the Clo
conducted during the past two weeks.
DESPITE the efforts of those who have
reason to fear large labor vote on No
yember Il despite the handicap of work.
ing long hours on war jobs and the effort
required to go to the Board of Elections,
thousands of CIO members and other
workers in Toledo did qualify for next
months important election.
No one individual was responsible for
the gratifying labor turnout 1t was case
of teamwork participated in by the PO-
Iitical Action Committee, union officials,
shop chairmen, stewards, rank and Tile
members of the unions and even some
who do not belong to any union.
IL the drive for votes in the November
election is as successful as the registration
drive, and our people have shown that 1t
can be by the way they registered during
the past two weeks, we will elect those
friendly to labor and surely defeat those
who have proven they are unfriendly to
our cause.
But again, it takes votes and not talk
to do the job in the November election.
Let us all put our shoulder to the wheel
together from now until the November
election and make this years election one
of the outstanding illustrations OF the
power and unity of labor.
Labor can and must succeed this year.

A GREAT RESPONSE

In complete reports on the registration
drive conducted by the CIO give every indica-
ton that our work has been most successful
in getting out the workers and plain people of
this area to qualify for the November cleo
ton
While I am very grateful to all those in
and out of our organization who aided in the
great response to our pleas to register, am
fully aware that our work is only half done.
The real test will come on November when
we must all vote ourselves and get our rela-
tives friends and neighbors to go to the polls
and cast their vote
That our drive has been very successful
and our numbers constitute a real threat to
the anti-labor reactionary forces who believed
and still believe they can capture our govern
ment is shown by the increased song of hatred
which is being sung coast-to-coast from North
to South against those who dared to show
their interest in their government.
THE TEST
AS have stated, the real test for the work
ers of this country will come on November 7.
Until that day has come and gone, we cannot
afford to sit back and pat ourselves or each
other on the shoulder and tell what swell
job we have done. We will not be able to pass
out any bouquets until after the election
Then, if we succeed in electing the candidates
whom we backing, we can shake hands
all around and congratulate ourselves. Until
then, we had better not count our chickens
If the registration turnout is any indication
of the sentiment of the workers. and we can
only guess at this until the votes are actually
cast and counted, it looks like the country is
aroused this year as it has not been in long
time Everyone seems to want to take part
in saying who is going to run this country fQl
the next four years, a good sign.
If the workers of this country awarN|
of what has been going on in congress for the
past two years; if they resent the inroads
made into the OPA by congress which have
helped to raise the cost of living for them;
if they resent the legislation aimed at repress-
ing and handicapping labor and recognize the
threat that the reactionaries present this year,
they will not fail to vote November and
they will vote right
In conclusion, want to thank the workers
who cooperated in the registration, as we'll as
the shop committees, stewards, Local union
officers and even non-members of our union
who aided us in getting out a representative
registration. I hope may receive the same
support in our election drive and am sure it
will be freely given.

cIO Unity

Out of the state CIO convention which
ended last Wednesday in Cleveland came
a unity of purpose, which If persisted IN
should be of vast benefit to every mem
Der of the organization.
Recognizing the common dangers and
the uncertainties of the future, the Clo
this week united for action in bringing
the war to victorious conclusions; TO Sc
cure full employment at living wages IN
the postwar period and to protect the eco
nomic interests of the workers by political
action.
DESPITE the emphasis given political
action, the state CIO did not neglect to
consider the immediate and future prob
lens with which the workers are faced.
The sentiment of the convention was that
world moving events would occur before
the next state meeting and that plans
should be made now to meet these prob
lens.
Being a democratic organization the
CIO has never shown the slightest hesl-
fancy in fully and freely discussing all
questions and problems which concern 1T.
Nor did this weeks convention hesitate,
vet, there was an inclination to submerge
differences of opinion and unite against
the dangers which face all labor.
United, the CIO and other workers of
Ohio and the rest of the country can ac-
complish their desires on the economic
and political fronts as they are accomplish
ing results in war production. Realizing
the seriousness of labOrs position, the
CIO wisely elected to present a united
front in a common cause.
How well labor unites, how it main
tains its unity will determine its own fu-
ture welfare. Labor itself has the answer
and will give il on November Z.

is II Politics {?

When the National War Labor Board
turned over the little steel formula prob
lem to the President without any recon-
mendation last Wednesday, il confirmed
the belief in the minds of the workers that
the board has not been, and is not now,
the "fair and impartial body which il is
supposed to be.
Labor need not be surprised at the
action of the board, for in the vast ma
iority of cases affecting labor'S wages, in
dustry and so-called public" members of
the board have consistently voted together
against the labor members.
In the present case, the National War
Labor Board has been able to kill two
birds with one stone. Ii has shown labor
exactly where il stands in setup which
cannot possible be "fair and impartial"
and at the same time has handed Presi-
dent Roosevelt what the industry and al
legged public members probably feel is a
political hot potato
Condemnation of the boards action in
playing politics with the welfare and liv-
ing Of the workers is not sufficient. Recit-
ing the long litany of wrongs of which
the board has been guilty can accomplish
no good. The board has destroyed its own
effectiveness by its recent action and no
amount of persuasion can ever again re-
store the confidence of the workers in it.
What action the President will take
remains to be seen. In the meantime, how
can labor ever again look upon the board
as an unbiased judge?

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local IL, UAW>ClO

The UAW-CIO has always advocated
equality of economic and political opportunity
for ALL
This means that there shall be no discrimi-
nation against racial national, or religious MI
norities 1t also means there shall be no dis
elimination against women.
Whatever effects the welfare of the male
members of the family also effects the well
fare of the women.
The issues which effect the Union mem
bership effect both male and female members
alike
Today large percentage of women are
working in the war plants and are directly eff
fected by working conditions in the shop.
After the war perhaps most of these women
will return to the home. However they will
still be effected by working conditions, be-
cause the size of the income for the family
and the number of hours spent on the job are
of primary Importance to the housewives and
mothers
1t is therefore of the utmost Importance
that the women members take an active part
in the affairs of the Union They should be
vitality concerned with what sort of world we
will have in the postwar period
NEEDS SUPPORT
If we are to have full employment and full
production, if we are to avoid unemployment
and breadlines the support of our entire men,
bership behind the Unions program for So
cial Security and Post War Planning is es-
sential.
While much can be learned from books and
phamplets published by the Union the best
place to learn about the Unions Program is to
participate in formulating policies and in car
rying out these policies by attending and being
in the Union meetings
Every woman who is employed in a CIO
shop should attend Union meetings and be-
active in her Union.
In future years when she may be keeping
house of her family, she will find the knowl-'
edge of the Union which was gained through
participation in its program of invaluable aid.
A housewife who has been directly involved
in union activities is in a position to under-s
stand the problems of her husband and will
support his efforts to improve conditions forl
the workers. y
If each woman member of the Union wi
resolve to take a more active part, not onIy
will the education thus gained be of lifelong
value to them, but the contribution they can
thus make will greatly strengthen the forces
the Unions must bring to bear in order to
establish full employment
A struggle was waged couple of decades
ago to win suffrage for women. This right,
can and should be used to improve social
conditions.

Political Capital
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Your paper has been car
rying some good labor stories
lately on the fight on the little
steel formula that is taking
place in Washington. / wonder
how many of the members of
Local IL realize the impor-
tance of this fight.
The way the NLRB has
been stalling on settlement of
the revision of the formula
makes me suspicious that
something will be done to
make political capital out of
the question.
The more | see of the War
Labor Board, the more / am
convinced that we ought to
repudiate the thing and de-
mand another "neW deal" for
the way we are being handled
and mishandled by our gov
ernment. T hi e inequalities
about which we talk so much
are not so much between
worker and worker, but be-
tween workers and those for
whom the workers work. This
is the real problem which
must be solved.
Suppose the WLB doesn't
revise the little steel formula?
What is labor going to do?
There is only one thing to
do, and / hope it will be done
by all the workers. Go to the
polls on November 7 and beat
He'll out of Dewey, Bricker,
Taft, Ramey and their kind.
Maybe it will take more than
that; no doubt it will, but at
least it will be a good begin
ming.
Fraternally yours,
Frank Ramus,
Bellevue, Ohio.
