Legion Commander and
Green Join in Plea For
Aid to G. is on Postwar

New Orleans.-Organized labor
championship Of the interests of tn
G. I. Joes was highlighted by mum
Der of dramatic developments at tn
American Federation of Labor's con
vention here.
Outstanding were:
l. Appearance of Edward N. Schei
berling, new national commander O.
the American Legion, who in an un
usually friendly talk welcomed collab
oration between the federation ane
legion for the welfare of the nations
fighting men.
2. A pledge by President William
Green that the AFL will fight "again
again, and again" to see that the
"vets" get every bit of protection to
which they are entitled.
3. Presentation by the Army of five
wounded war veterans, all of them
AFL union members, who told the
delegates how greatly the men at the
front appreciate the vast outpouring
of munitions and supplies made by
American workers.
Scheiberling's address was one of
the highlights of the convention. In
introducing him, President Green re-
vealed that the legion chief is the son
of veteran unionist-the late Martin
Scheiberling, who served as business
agent of Local POI of the Painters
Union in Albany, N. Y, for 10 years,
and on the legislative committee OF
the New York State Federation of
Labor for Is years.
Legion chiefs for the two years
have been occasionally hostile to labor
and President Green frankly alluded
to that, declaring it was refreshing"
by contrast to present commander
like Scheiberling, "the noble son OF
a noble father"
With equal frankness, Scheiberling
made it clear that under legion laws
he would only serve for one year, and
"what the next legion leader will do
to you | do not know"
But he made it clear that insofar
as he was concerned, "there isn't any
reason why the American Legion and
the American Federation of Labor
should not always be close friends"
Scheiberling emphasized the "broad
upon which the two organ
izations are united.

WHAT NEXT?

u. S. armed forces have not used
poison gas in this war, but the mill
tary have used a poisoned fog-not
against Nazis or Japs, but against
Misunderstanding mosquitoes. This
poison fog is produced by new auto
matte device-a con holding about one
pint of liquifed gas in which insect
poison is dissolved. The gas is allow
ed to escape as fog of insecticide
called an "aerosol." This new method,
when available after the war, promis-
es to control housefies as we'll as mo-
squitoes in homes and on screened
porches and is also effective against
moths and many other insects, includ-
ing injurious pests of field and gar
den crops.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Congressman on the loose, junket.
ing in England at the expense of the
government, sometimes let their ton
CUES slip, and they can't be held re-
sponsible for what comes out when
their mouths open.
Representative j. Parnell Thomas
of New Jersey, while sojourning in
London, heard there is shortage of
ammunition, and without taking the
trouble to find out the facts, got him
self interviewed, declared there is
no excuse for a shortage and laid the
blame at the door of our working peo-
pie.
"It is the fault of some of these
labor barons who have condoned
strikes in wartime" he told the re-
porters. He probably meant labor
union officials who have been unable
to keep their members employed and
who have struck for short periods Of
time, in spite of their leaders.
Even the reporter-the English re-
porter-could have told this bright
United States Congressman that
there have been more strikes in Brit
ain and more man hours have been
lost since the war started than we
have had here in this country.
The Congressman himself should
have known not only this, but he
should also know that we have pro-
duced more war material quicker than
has ever been produced before. 1t has
been produced so fast that about a
year ago high army official announc-
ed that so much ammunition had been
delivered that it was running out
our ears"
The Congressman also should know
that it is just now not a shortage of
material but largely shortage of

transportation. Our armies have ad
vanced so fast in France that trans
portation facilities have been unable
to keep up.
Of course, with the tremendous
amount of munitions which have beer
used since the invasion, there is now
much less in reserve and there must
be no let-up in production, but eve
did it before and we can do it again.
Congressman Thomas, when asked
to name some of these heinous labor
leaders who are holding up produc-
tion of needed war materials, came
up with Sidney Hillman and Harry
Bridges.
Admiration must have glowed in
the eyes of the reporter when he
heard this. If the reporter had a vote
he would have an opportunity to vote
for the dumbest candidate on the
ticket.
Even an English reporter, of
course, would know that Sidney Hill
man heads clothing union, and his
members have nothing to do with the
manufacture of arms. Except (and
this article needs a little humor) the
arms in the coats they make.
AS for Harry Bridges, the Austral-
ian leader of west coast longshore-
men, who up to now has successfully
resisted deportation as an alien, since
Pearl Harbor no man in our country
has done more to keep supplies NOV
ing to our fighting forces. He went
all-out in the beginning, and it was
against his advice that Japan was
able to get all our scrap iron.
And again the Congressman was
dumb, because Bridges and his long
shoremen have nothing to do with
arms production.

"Both organizations are steadfast in
their effort to assure an enduring
peace after total victory" he said
"Both organizations are determined to
preserve the economic system that has
made it possible for the United States
to be the arsenal of democracy. Both
organizations are dedicated to assur-
ing full opportunity-jobs in accord
with capabilities, and care for disabled
when our fighting forces again re-
sumo their place in civilian life"
Scheiberling added he "would like
to see, among those drafting the for
mula for world peace, representatives
of our fighting forces and representa-
tives of those who are producing the
tools of war-working together united
at the peace table,"
When the commander finished,
Green declared, eve like the note
which he sounded" and urged team
work between the two organizations
despite whatever differences of opin-
ion may arise.
Green assured Scheiberling that
the AFL is determined to see that war
veterans get their jobs back when
they return.

they can be seen digging graves fol
labor. Fortunately, the labor move
ment is too busy smashing produc-
ton records to lie down in the grave
so provided"
Just the kind of anti-labor talk Nc
Mutt referred to was featured by the
New York Times Dec. 5 in an editorial
urging Congress to enact labor draft
legislation. The Times said, e.. the
exigencies of war have created great
er demands for ammunition and for
certain weapons than the Army was
able to foresee, precisely at time
when many workers, apparently con-
fdent that victory is just around the
corner, are drifting out of war plants
into jobs which they believe will have
a longer future" And the Times adds
the more serious charge that the SOL
der in the field is paying with his
life for the lack of labor draft.
McNutt has labeled such charges as
false, pointing out that Shortages in
trucks and other must goods of war
are not due to the indifference of the
American workers. They are due al
most exclusively to military develop
ment, to the unpredictable turns of
the war;" Constant changes in Army
plans caused by experiences in war
fare; vastly expanded schedules; low
wages in some industries-these are
among the factors blamed by McNutt
'or current lags in output.
The AFL, CIO, Workers Defense
League and all who are interested in
guarding labor's rights have vigor-
ously opposed the Austin -Wadsworth
abor draft bill and will continue to |
fight any legislation which, in the |
midst of a fight for the basic free
doms, will place labor in chains.-Ber-

LET'S FINISH OUR PART

So we bought Christmas Seals las
Christmas. Good. That certainly il
doing one part of our part in the figh
against tuberculosis, waged year il
and year out by the National Tuber
cuiosis Association to protect US
against the disease But money is moi
enough.
Perhaps we know quite a lot about
tuberculosis. Perhaps we know peo-
pie who have it. Perhaps we've talk
ed to doctors and nurses about it, Per-
haps we've read books, newspaper
stories, pamphlets, seen movies, heard
talks on tuberculosis, but knowing.
even knowing quite lot about tuber-
culosis, is not enough.
Our part in the fight against the
disease is not done until we and all
the members of our families are perio-
ideally examined for the disease-per-
lodically, because tuberculosis, high
ly communicable disease, can creep
on US and be in an advanced stage
before any symptoms appear. An ear
ly diagonsis is imperative for early
recovery.
Our part in the tuberculosis fight
is three-fold. First, we must be per-
lodically examined for tuberculosis.
Second, we must know the facts about
the disease, one of the greatest kill |
ers, one of the most serious social |
and economic problems, in this coun- |
try. Not only know the facts. but
use our knowledge by lining up with |
the tuberculosis association in all they
are doing. Third, we must continue
to support the work of the associa- |
tion by our consistent purchase of
Christmas Seals.
