DON'T MAKE V-DAY A SPREE
DAY!

How do you plan to celebrate V-Day
when Germany surrenders?
There are two ways to do it. One is
to drop everything, rush out and have
yourself rip-roaring time until yor
pass out or drop from sheer fatigue
The other way is to do your re.
joicing in a sane, sensible manner
in an attitude of thanksgiving fol
what has been done, and of prayer
for the speedy and successful COM
pletion of what still lies ahead.
If you are a professional celebrat-
er, you may choose the first way.
But if you have felt the impact of
war at first hand; if son or father
or a husband or brother has fallen
in service; if a loved one is in the
Pacific, still carrying on against the
undefeated Jap-then the chances are
that you are not going to be in the
mood for much hat-tearing or back
whamming.
Victory over Germany will mean only
one thing-that we have won the first
round of hard fight, and that a
knock-down, drag-out battle still re-
mains. The middle of fight is no time
for nationwide carousal or for con-
duct that brings violence, accidents
and destruction of property.
The National Safety Council offers
V-Day suggestion that makes good
sense. 1t is: Don't Make V-Day a
Spree Day!"

Married WOmen's Right
To City Jobs Upheld
In Massachusetts

Boston (ILNS).-The State Sup
RENE Judicial Court has upheld the
right of married women to hold mum
icipal jobs, ruling unconstitutional
the dismissal of 6 married women en-
ployed by the water and public well
fare departments of Somerville.
"These women, the court said
"were not removed for proper cause,
because the (city) ordinance was in
valid inasmuch as it deprives married
women of their constitutional right
to equal opportunity for the selection
of public employment or service"
The courts decision, however, point
ed out that the ruling did not conflict
with previous opinion which held
that married women might be banned
as school teachers.
"School committees have discretion
in the caase of teachers because mar
ried women in some public employ
ments may be considered less quail.
fled than unmarried women" the court
said.
The 6 Somerville women were dis.
missed in May, 1888, and carried their
fight through the courts for rein.

Senator Promises Inquiry
Into Charges Negro Workers
We're Falsely Arrested

New York City (ILNS) Senator
Claude A. Pepper of Florida and w.
Gerry Miller, Broward County, Fla,
prosecutor, have promised an investi-
cation of Workers Defense League
charges chat 49 Negro workers were
falsely arrested for vagrancy in Fort
Lauderdale, Fla, and fined without
trials as past of a general attempt to
have Negroes continue working at
the same menial tasks they had before
the war"
The mass arrests followed an en-
forced labor decree by Sheriff Walter
Clark, under which persons found idle
on the city streets were subject to
arrest, the WDL says. About half
the arrested Negroes were members
of Local 1926, International Long
shoremen's Association, employed reg
ularly at Post Everglades, CONNER
cial harbor at Ft. Lauderdale. The
Negroes obtained release from the
county Jail after paying fines arbi-
trarily imposed by the sheriff's office
without ever appearing before a judge
or having an attorney to defend them,
it is charged.
Fourteen men and women were ar
rested Feb. 9, 1914, when they re-
fused to pick beans on the farm of
Mayor Dewey Hawkins of Oakland
Park, north Of Ft. Lauderdale, after
they determined that the vines had
been picked twice before and were
not abundant enough to make the
work profitable to them.
In another case which the WDL in
vestigated, approximately 35 men
were arrested in the Negro business
district of Ft. Lauderdale during their
hours off from work, and fined by the
sheriff's office.
The Workers Defense League is
preparing legal actions against the
officials responsible for the alleged
false arrests.

UNION EXECUTIVE
COURSE FOR
PHILA. WORKERS

Philadelphia, Pa. (ILNS).-A pro-
gram "of training for the occupation
of shop steward, union executive, and
other personnel for the trade unions
of Philadelphia" has been announced
by the Philadelphia Board Of Educa-
tion.
The instructors teaching the courses
will be members of the labor move
ment. The purpose of the courses is
to train and develop the rank and file
shop committee members into compe-
tent shop stewards, by teaching them
the techniques and skills involved in
handling grievances and carrying on
collective bargaining processes be-
tween their shop people and manage
ment.

for division wide elections covering
seven units. In the meantime, with an
average of but one ex-Postal worker
out of every 10 Western Union en-
ployes involved in the integration of
Postal offices into the Western Union
eystem, an apparently endless series
of disputes over seniority, wages and
hours is threatening the smooth ope-
rations of the vital communications
industry.

are working under AFL maintenance
of membership agreements while A.
900 ex-Postal employees are still cov-
cred by CIO closed shop agreement.
Until National Labor Relations Board
election clears up this chaotic situa-
tion, telegraph workers are confront
ed with what is perhaps the most
complex labor problem which has ever
been faced in any industry.
With conflicting labor agreements
covering employees in the same offices,
doing similar work, with different
wage scales, different methods of
computing seniority, different hours
of work and different vacation and
pension provisions, Western Union
employees under AFL agreements have
been urging the NLRB to order a ma
tional election at the earliest possi-
bit moment to put an end to the
thousands of problems arising out of
the merger of the two telegraph COM
panies.
The CIO favors only city-wide and
district-wide elections.

before it since April, when hearings

Kaiser Asks Agencies To
Workers Time Off For Both
Registering And Voting

New York City (ILNS).-Henry J
Kaiser, famous shipbuilder, who heads
the Non-Partisan Association fol
Franchise Education, Inc., has asked
federal procurement agencies to work
out plans for giving war workers time
off to register as well as to vote. Laws
in many states require that employees
be given sufficient time off to per.
NIT them to vote on election day, but
none require the granting Of time of
to register.
Kaiser's request was contained in
a letter directed to procurement Of
ficers in 10 federal agencies in which
he said that "the vast number Of our
citizens now working in plants ope-
rating under government contracts
makes it more than ever necessary
that specific provision be made for
them to exercise the right Of fran
chise."
Gall Of us who are concerned with
the Importance Of getting out the vote
are gravely troubled by the fact that
many millions Of Americans engaged
in war production may be deprived Of
the voting privilege" Kaiser said.
81 am wondering whether the pro.
curement agencies Of the federal gov.
ernment have given definite thought
to this issue. Have any plans beer
devised which will assure war work
ers sufficient time to get to and from
the registration booths and polling
places? Will the labor-managemen
committees take the initiative?
"The fact that vast number O.
our citizens are now working in plants
operating under government contract!
makes it more than ever necessar.
that specific provision be made fol
them to exercise the right of fran
chise. They must have time for boil
registration and voting"
Kaiser also made direct appeals t.
the Secretaries of War, the Navy, tn
Treasury, and other federal official
asking their assistance in the matter

COMMENT on WORLD EVENTS

er of plans that in themselves are
clearly in the best interests Of the
world as a whole may be rendered
difficult, if not impossible"
All nations, he writes, are expected
to share in the sacrifices connected
with the maintenance of peace. "All
must be allowed to express themselves
and to enjoy measure of authority
as well as responsibility in its achieve
ment."
The New Zealand statesman con-
tends that world security depends up
on the development of economic secur-
ity, justice and the spirit of democ-
racy within each nation. "If the seeds
of aggression allowed to sprout within
the economic and social fabric of any
nation" he asserts, "that nation, in
spite Of any international police force
:. will sooner or later be menace
to the peace and security of any other
nations"
! He calls attention to the danger in
volved in declaring ones own people
race or nation inherently superior
to other peoples. eff inside the United
States of yours, in European coun-
tries or India or inside China, the idea
is allowed to sprout and grow that
they are superior people, that they
are chosen by some power beyond ou1
ordinary understanding to dominate
and control the world, there is nc
peace for the world"
He demands that social maladjust-
ments, "the real source of imperial.
ism and aggression" be ruthlessly
stamped out. He maintains that unem.
ployed labor, unused skill, undevelop.
ed resources, idle factories and ma.
chimes, cannot be tolerated by ma.
tion at peace any more than by a ma.
tion at war and makes an eloquent
plea that the nations with high living
standards should assist those "oblig.
ed to live on much lower standards un.
der the shadow Of insecurity, unem.
ployment, poverty, ill-health, disease
and destitution."
