For those of US who have essential
war jobs our responsibility is to stay
on the job and give our best work.
Even if this means a sacrifice, the
cost is small compared to what the
boys are giving in battle. (2) For
those of us whose skills are not be-

our duty is to get from our inter-
national unions and the Employment

tion on where workers are needed in
war work and move to these war-vital
jobs if we possibly can. The union has
duty as we'll as individual workers.

RAIL STRIKE AIDS
FIGHT ON NAZIS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Re-
ferring to the general railway strike
which began Sept. II in German-oc -oc-
cupied Holland as "heroic," the pub
lication Trade Union World said it had
effectively contributed to success of
Allied military operations, the Neither
lands Information Bureau reported.
"It is now known" the publication
said, "that in all Nazi-occupied coun-
tries underground resistance has been
much greater than public opinion in
free countries had dared to hope.
"When the history of these indi-
vidual or collective acts of bravery
which cost hundreds of thousands of
lives on the European continent alone
is written, the heroic general strike of
Netherlands railwaymen will have a
prominent place -.
Zone thing is certain-the Neither
lands railwaymen, their families and
the population as a whole have by
their heroic unfinching attitude effect
lively contributed to the success of
Allied military operations Of the Mas
battle, although the price of their
heroism has been heavy one."

CRITICAL YEAR AHEAD

There is no doubt that t945 will
be a grave, solemn and critical
year. At this crossroads in the worlds
history, we know that we must fight
not only for victory of arms, but
for victory of ideas as well.
Free trade unions, by their very
nature, are the implacable enemies Of
dictatorship and injustice. And to as.
sure a future of freedom, the Amer.
lean Federation Of Labor in this New
Year will strive to strengthen ane
rebuild the free labor movements of
the world. Matthew Woll.

Germans savage counterattacks on
the western front and disquieting po-
litical events in Europe have made
Americans uneasy and uncertain of
the future.
There is every confidence that the
German onslaught, though inititially
successful and apparently surprise
to the Allied High Command, will be
contained and beaten. Before these
words are in print, the Germans may
have been held, if not turned back.
But other events, such as the propos-
ed partition of Poland and internal un-
rest and fighting in Belgium, Greece
and other countries will continue to
cause uneasinesS.
Russia plans, with seeming British
acquiescence, to divide Poland and
''recompense" her by slices of Ger
man territory, has come in for harsh
criticism, not only here but in Great
Britain. 1t is safe to say that most
Americans are bewildered and resent
full over the turn of Polish affairs and
agree with William Green in express
ing the hope that the United States
"will say mo- to those who seek to
apportion the territory of Poland"
President Green, voicing American
Federation of Labor views, told a
meeting of the American Labor Con-
ference on International Affairs in
New York that Gin waging this wal
we have been inspired by noble ideas
! and high purposes"
Surely" he added, "we are not
going to engage now in invading the
territorial rights of men and women
living in countries which fought and
suffered so much" Asking Ameri-
cans to remember their history, he
pointed out that the partitioning of
national territory, whenever and
wherever it has occurred, has "sown
the seeds of another war"
Newspaper accounts of the confer
ence said that this portion of Green's
talk was not part of his prepared
text and was delivered eXtemporane-
ously, but emphasized that it reflect

New Social Security Plan
Promised By FDR AS He
Signs Tax Rate Freeze

Washington, D. C. - President
Roosevelt reluctantly approved the
controversial legislation freezing the
social security payroll tax at | per
cent for another year.
At the same time he promised to
submit soon a comprehensive plan
for broadening and improving the So
cial security system" for action by
the next Congress.
The Presidents statement said:
1.-TWO matters should be clearly un-
derstood. The Congress should real
ize that this bill, deferring statutory
increase in contributions toward exist
ing social security, merely defers un-
til next year the necessary fiscal re-
cepits to pay the benefits. Also, it
does not seem to me wholly sound to
enact tax law and then defer the
taxes year after year.
''The public will understand that as
nation we are committed to social
security and will undoubtedly increase
and not decrease it's benefits. Already
some other nations have larger de-
gree of social security than we. This
bill in no way modifies the benefits
provided by the present law. But it
will be incumbent upon the next Con-
gress thoroughly to review the meth
DDS of financing them.
"At an early date plan to submit
to the Congress comprehensive plan
for broadening and improving the So
cial security system. At that time |
hope that clear understanding of the
governments financial responsibilities
for social security will emerge and
that a long-term plan for allocating
the costs of social security will be de-
veloped The executive branch Of the
government will always stand ready
to assist the Congress in working out
satisfactory solution"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

ed the feeling of distrust of power
politics that permeated all sessions
of the conference.
Matthew Woll, another AFL speak
er in discussing obstacles to peace,
condemned "our liberal srealists'
who are violently attacking Great
Britain for her policy in Greece and
Belgium" but shave never uttered
word in opposition to the interven-
tion of Russia in the internal affairs
of Poland, Rumania and Bulgaria"
He also assailed Communist disrup-
tion in liberated Europe as injurious
to the war effort.
The Communist disruption" has
been most violent and conspicuous in
Greece, where the British have been
waging sanguinary war in support of
the Greek government and against
forces Of the ELIAS Leftist movement,
alleged to be Communist led and in
spired The British intervention has
drawn the sharpest kind of denunci-
alton in the House of Commons and
from British leaders. British families
whose sons have been killed in the
| Greek civil war must be wondering
why they had to die in that way and
why they have not been fighting the
! Germans.
That the European mess is causing
grave misgivings even among strong
supporters of the policy of the United
Nations in this country is shown by
the warning of Senator Ball of Min
nesota, outstanding champion of col
lective security, that British and Rus
sian policies are endangering world
| peace.
"The unilateral political decisions
made in liberated Europe by great
powers on the allied side, if they con-
tine, may do irreparable harm to the
whole cause of collective security en-
visaged in the DumbartOn Oaks pro-
posals," Ball said and criticized the
United States and the other big pow
ers for not making their positions
clear

NEED FOR SKILLED WORKERS

A large increase in skilled-workel
personnel for industry will be de-
manded in the near future, says {
survey report published by the U. S
Office of Education, Federal Security
Agency.
The demand has grown up out of
the new developments in electronics,
air transportation and automobile de-
proved materials for textile, food and
construction uses, the survey states.
Modern industry now needs 5 trained
workers for every professional engi-
neer. The needed men fall into four
categories: engineering and science
aides in specialties such as drafting
and laboratory work, who require a
year or more of training; inspectors,
who can be trained in less time; pro-
duction and maintenance supervisors,
who need experience plus training;
and statesmen, accountants and similar
workers whose efficiency is greatly
increased if they have had training
added to their experience, FSA re-
ports.
The survey recommended labor and
industrial cooperative planning for
local training programs, the estab-
lishment of credential that can be-
come accepted in industry as evidence
of skilled-work training, and more
opportunities for study in which the
worker would spend part-time, in
training school and part in the related
industrial work.
Organized labor has shown that it
recognizes the need for increased
training of skilled workers, especially
in new industries, notable example
being the electronics school recently
opened in Milwaukee by the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers.

also provides a % per cent boost for
fourth-class postmasters, special de-
livery messengers and part time
workers. A similar increase is pro-
vided third-class postmasters for clerk
hire. The bill replaces temporary
$500 raise that expires next June 80.
The bill is backed by the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks and
other ALL. postal workers unions.

of the branch of service they are
entering. The training the officers
have received in Antiaircraft Artil-
lery will be highly valuable in the
other arms of service to which
they are detailed. The extensive
study and work in automatic wea-
pons and guns which AAA officers
experience can easily be applied
to the needs of such arms of the
service as Infantry, it was said.
The initial class for Antiaircraft
officers at the Infantry school,
Fort Benning, Ga. was scheduled
to start today. Subsequent classes
will enter regularly until the total
capacity of the course is reached.
The detailing of AAA officers to
Infantry and other arms of the
service will take place in AAA
camps throughout the country and
not only at Camp Davis. Thus,
only part of the allotments of AAA
officers for this detail will be made
up of officers now at Camp Davis.
