These are the simple draft rules
posted by Emperor Halle Selassie
when Mussolini's Italian hordeS
invaded Ethiopia:
Every man able TO carry a spear
will come to Adds Ababa to fight.
The blind. the lame and those
too young to carry a spear will
not come.
Married men will bring their
wives to cook for them.
Men without wives will bring
any available woman.
Anyone found at home will be
hung.
Some of our boys just back
from the South Seas think that
the expression, "reversion to the
ape" might mean a promotion
for some of those japs.

Two soldiers n rather festive

As the first soldier turned
around he came face to face with
a stately uniformed gentleman

Contrasted with the current
campaign for United States sem
ator, the battle for the, office of
governor is quite a different pic
ture. When we promised you some
weeks ago that we would bring
you the real facts of this cam
paign as it develops we meant
just what we said. Surely the vot-
ers of the state wish to employ the
best people available for these
various offices. 1t appears to be
the duty of the papers to give
you the facts as nearly as they
are available and we have volun-
teered to dig them up as far as
the candidates are concerned and
present them to you here. Thus

Washington, ID. C-AIembers of the
American Federation of Labor have
lived up to their no-strike pledge better
than any other comparable group of
workers in the country, according to
an official report just made public by
the Department of Labor.
This report shows that while the
AFL comprises more than half of the
organized workers in the nation, its
members accounted for only IL per
cent of the total man-days lost due to
strikes during 1943. Only 20 per cent
of the total number of strikers were
AFL workers.
BY contrast the CIO with far
smaller membership, had A per cent
of the total number of strikes and they
accounted for 16 per cent of the man
days lost.
But the most significant item in the
report revealed that unions not affili-
ated with either the AFL or the CIO
We're responsible for II per cent of the
total idleness from strikes in 1913.

Only II Per Cent Of Strike Losses
Due to AFL Workers, Survey Shows

the disastrous coal strike conducted by
the United Mine Workers Union, which
constituted the one big blot on labor's
war record during the year.
Analysis of the figures released by
the Labor Department reveals the ef-
fective work done by leaders of both
AFL and CIO unions in halting strikes
once they started.
Although the number of strikes by
afiiliates was proportionately large, the
time lost was almost infinitesimal
because through the efforts of union
leaders living up to the no-strike
pledge the men were persuaded to go
back to work i'm day or two in most
cases.
The nation did not receive similar
cooperation from leaders of "inde-
pendent" unaffiliated unions who, in
several instances, openly flouted the
no-strike pledge and ordered workers
to remain off the job.
One of the best records In 1943 was
made by the railroad brotherhoods,

Steel Profits Shown
Up 24l % In A Years
Republic Steel Led The
Bigger Concerns With
"A 641o Increase

Washington (FP). = Answering the
poverty plea of the nations biggest
steel corporations that lie an hour
wage increase would bankrupt them,
the United Steelworkers (CIO) intro
duced data before the National War
Labor Board panel showing that by
comparing 4 peace years with 4 war
years, the steel industry's profits be-
fore taxes are up 241R.
Not only that, but the new figures
also showed that the industry as a
whole paid its stockholders 609o more
i'm dividends in the 4 peace years of
1868 compared with the war years
of 1940-44

to note, however, that not all of the

Huge Registration Plan
Of Los Angeles Official

Los Angeles (FP).-In consultation
with union leaders, Registrar of Voters
Michael DonOghue has come up with
a plan to have 1000 registrars on the
job i'm every neighbOrhOOd in the
county, come registration day.
All but about 1000 of the voting
precincts will be covered, and no voter
will live more than one precinct away
from a booth where he can register.
In addition there will be a few regis
trars i'm downtown locations but they
will be old timers who are not likely
to make mistakes in registering.
On past occasions attempts to regis
ter voters almost entirely downtown
or in employment places resulted in
many errors and caused trouble voting
on election day.
DOnoghue discussed registr a n
needs with both the AFL and CIO be-
fore working out his plans.
