tive rationing.
Speaking on this resolution.
President Murray reviewed in de-
tail the 1914 living costs Of an
average steel worker earning
around $500 a year. Such a
worker, he pointed out, was actu-
ally worse off today than he was
in 1941 with 1,400 a year, due to
the enormous rise in food and
other living prices.
Action on the London world la
Dor conference, set for June ),

ceptance Of the Citrine invitation.
Following this, Murray designated
IL delegates; himself, Secretary

II per cent who voted In 1910.

War Labor Board, the NLRB, etc.
The Board urged its immediate
abolition, because of Its highly
prejudicial and biased investiga-
ton which does not seek To as
certain any facts or to suggest
recommendations In the interest
OF the war, but rather to destroy
any group and every executive
agency that actually seeks to fur

The Board meeting, looking at
present health and welfare prob
lens and ahead TO the postwar
situation, set up a new national
standing unit-the "CIO Health
and Welfare Committee" with
George F. Adde's OF the UAW-CIO
as chairman.
Function of this group will be
to develop and promote an over
all health and welfare program
through which II can serve its own

Roosevelt for his blast at the
States rights" attempt to deny
citizenship to men and women
In the armed forces and the
merchant marine, and renewed
CLIO demands for action on a sim

Registration Of voters and ex-
banded mobilization of citizen sup
port behind the soldier vote issue
were made the immediate tasks of
the directors by the conference,
which placed the emphasis Of It's
work on preparation for the 1914
election campaign.
Among actions taken by the con-
ference was sharp criticism OF
Senator Robert Taft (Rep., o. for
his stand against federal soldier
vote bill.
The conference declared that
Taft's "angry and incorporate
attack" on Secretary of War
Stimson and Secretary Of the
Navy Knox, for supporting a fed
eral soldier vote bill was "a sharp
demonstration that the opposi-
ton to the bill stems from the
depths of reaction rather than
from any partisan feeling be-
tween Republicans and Demo-
Gratis" StimsOn and Knox are
Republicans.

mittee. 1t was the first meeting
of regional directors. Hillman has
named eight. Six are still to be
appointed.
DOUBLE-BARRELED ACTION
The conference adopted unanim-
ously a committee report on reg
istration, which said in part, Full
employment, international peace
and security depend upon the elec-
ton in 1914. Unless the workers,
the farmers-the plain people of
America-vote in November, the
kind of America for which millions
are fighting may be lost"
The report recommends a "dou-
BILE barreled" approach to the
registration problem.
"Labor's drive" the report said,
"will proceed through two paral-
lei channels. One channel Is
provided in the traditional and
tested structure Of our interna-
tiOnal and local unions. The
other channel is found In the
newer concept Of labor's political
activity-the formation of county,
ward and precinct political or
ganlzations."

WAGE POLICY

Based on the gigantic differences
between the official cost of living
and the facts, the Boards resolu-
ton on wages called for new efforts
TO break through the Little Steel
formula and for campaign to win
the wides. possible support for the
workers need of wage raises to
keep them going on the war pro-
duction job.
"This readjustment in wages
must allow the wage earners an
increase to make up for the diff
ference between the Little Steel
formula Of Is percent and the
actual rise In the cost Of living
since January l, 1941,' the Board
said.
AS part of CLIO economic stabi-
lization policy, the resolution called

which said: THE CLIO has been OPP
posed to and will continue to op-
pose enactment of any national
service legislation.
I'm addition TO the evils inherent
in the attempt to resort to COM
pulsory labor, the approach embod-
led in national service legislation
is Intellectual and actually contains
dangers of further complicating
rather than aiding the manpower
situation"
Following this action, the Board
passed a unanimous resolution Of
support to the European invasion
and reaffirming the no-strike
pledge.
"At this solemn moment, when
our sons and brothers are about
to engage our nations foes in the
decisive struggle, when the life OF
our nation is at stake, labor will
not falter." the resolution said.
ITO this end, the CLIO Execu-
tive Board calls on all Of Its affil-
lated unions to religiously and
meticulously respect their sacred
obligations to their nation and
the members of our armed forces
by avoiding any stoppages Of
work or interruptions Of produce

WASHINGTON, June 2 Up
President Roosevelt said to-
day the United States has pro-
duced more than $4,000 air
planes in about three years.
In the first 81 days of this
year, the President said, 4,400
planes wer sent to our Allies
from the United States-at an
average of 1873 planes a week.
In making public the report
from the foreign economic ad-
ministration, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
called that some doubling Tho
masses scoffed when he told Con-
greSs before the war that the
administration goal was. to
produce $4,000 planes a year.
The goal, he said, has been
exceeded tremendously.
Between March II, 194l.
when the Lend Lease Act was
passed and April ! this year,
more than $4,000 planes have
been sent to the fighting forces
of the other United Nations.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the Allies
paid cash for 1000 of the planes
and the remainder were sent
under lend-lease.

Gen. Tseng asserted the Jap

"As the Allies apply greater
