AGAINST A. c. M.
FOR BUM WIRE DEAL

NEW YORK-(FP)-The Anaconda
Wire & Gable Co, which got off with a
meager $4,000 fine last year for selling
defective wire to the government, is in
hot water again.
In a second attempt to get suitable
punishment for the company, the govern
ment filed a civil suit against the firm
in federal court here May IS. Charging
Anaconda with using schemes, tricks,
devices and subterfuge in connection
with the production of Wire between
1910 and 1912 at its Indiana plant and
making and using numerous false
vouchers, certificates, a~ffidavits and de-
positions" the government is seeking
several million dollars in damages.
Company officials were given suspend
ed sentences and small fines by a federal
Judge at Fort Wayne, Ind, on the same
charges last year, despite vigorous pro-
tests by the government.
The government started its new action
against the company under recently
enacted legislation permitting the gov
eminent to intervene in informer suits
brought by private citizens or to initiate
its own suit.

.HILLMAN PRAISE FDR

CLEVELAND.-FP)-A storm Of ap-
I plause from the 2,4OO delegates attend
ing the second constitutional convention
of United S%teelworkers (CIO) greeted a
declaration by Chairman Sidney Hillman
Of the CLIO Political Action Committee
that labor's full strength is behind the
reelection of President Roosevelt.
The way to achieve a lasting peace,
Hillman said, is TO make sur that FDR
is reelected" Hilman praised the
progress of the CLIO political action drive
adding that although some of the top
leadership Of u friendly competitor
have told their membership to keep away
from the CLIO Political Action Commit

an era of insecurity and unemployment,
with vested greedy interests in control
utilizing our very victory to break down
what we have gained Hillman pointed
to the recent congressional primaries in
Florida and Alabama as an example OF
what united labor action can achieve.
Later in the day the convention over
whelmingly reaffirmed its no-strike
pledge, with only two dissenting votes.
Delegates who proposed withdrawal Of
the no-strike pledge argued that labor
has been unable to fight a%nti-union en-
ployers successfully without being able
to threaten strikes.
In reply Pres. Philip Murray pointed
out that the no-strike pledge has not
thwarted the growth of the organized
labor movement in America while its
withdrawal would bring about a concert
ed drive for anti-labor legislation.
Asking the delegates what kind Of a
letter would you send to your boys over
seas if you did withdraw it." Murray
asserted that 1T would be regarded as an
insult to the armed forces and to the
balance Of union-minded Americans. "
