letter to the Office of Defense Trans-
portation.
Not only do we expect little dim
mutton in the amount of organ
lied military movement and furlough
travel, but the need for transporta-

pate in the Army's rehabilitation
program is increasing at a rapid
rate" Gen, Gross wrote.

Green Says AFL Unit.
Will Pay Rail Costs
To GET War Workers
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 25.-Chiefs
Of four major labor unions today
pledged to William Green, president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, their efforts to speed the pro-
duction of military supplies.
Presidents of the Molders, Ma
chinists, Garment and Textile
Workers Unions volunteered to urge
workers to transfer from less criti-
cal industries into plants engaged
in the manufacture of vital war
supplies.
Mr.. Green said the unions would
pay the transportation of workers,
If necessary, to get them to plants
where they are needed.
Emergency Workers Proposed.
He also said battalions of emer-
gency workers might be formed,
each man of which would leave his
regular job to work 80 days in a
vital plant where increased produc-
ton is necessary. Employers will
be asked to protect these volunteers
III llloI lcsuldI JOOo.
We've got to take more than one
problem up with employers" Mr..
Green told a press conference after
the meeting. Some plants already
reconverted to produce consumer
goods may have to reconvert to war
production"
The session was held behind
closed doors, and the Army's re-
quest for the most critical needs
was laid before the conferees by
Col A. H. Raskin from the Office
of Undersecretary of War Patterson.
The union officials were told that
most needed now were heavy trucks
and motorized equipment, duck for
Army tents and shipping, together
with ammunition.
After the meeting, Mr.. Green
announced the appointment of
Lewis G.. Hines, AFL director in
Washington, to handle exclusively
the plan for intensifying production
Of critical goods.
Workers Needed in Maine.
The textile mills are located
principally in Maine, it was ex-
planned, while the molders are en-
ployed largely in the Chicago and
Eastern areas.
Harry Stevenson, president of the
Molders' Union, told Mr.. Green that
while his workers pay was gener-
ally below that of those in other
fields, he would appeal directly to
their patriotism to stay on the
job and increase production"
The session, at which housing and
transportation of war workers also
was discussed, was the principal &C
tivity of the annual AFL Conven-
ton today. The general sessions
were in recess until Monday.
