AFL AND WPB
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
TO CUT ACCIDENTS

Washington, D. C.-President Will
liam Green called upon all AFL affili-
ates to join with the War Production
Board in a national drive to reduce
industrial accidents and occupational
diseases in war industries.
Accidents and occupational dis
eases have become major war prob
lem," Mr.. Green declared in circular
lette. 'The seriousness of the losses
to war production, to management, to
the injured workers themselves and
to their families caused by the total
of more than 100000 industrial in
juries in 1943 cannot be ignored"
While the initiation and organiza-
tion of adequate health and safety
programs is the primary responsible
ity of management, Mr.. Green insisted
that unions have serious response
bility to their members to help make
such programs effective. He added:
Thought, time and money spent on
health and safety programs have
proved to be profitable to both man

ceiling is now raised to 100000,
which will make it possible for the
workers to earn considerably more in
double rates for overtime
Under another accord reached at the
parley, workers who report on second
or third shifts, but who are sent home
before completion of the shifts will
nonetheless, be paid the regular
"bonus" for these late tricks"
The unions also won curb against
any arbitrary changes in shifts by the
procurement agencies army, navy
and Maritime Commission. Here
after, when the agencies plan shift
revision at any particular yard or
city, they will first consult unions and
managements in other shipbuilding
centers to obtain their "okay."
This plan it was explained, will go
far toward assuring uniformity of
shifts in the Gulf region.

Therefore, at the request of the
War Production Board, the American
Federation of Labor, in cooperation
with other labor and employer or
ganizations, is urging it's membership
to participate in the immediate es-
tablishment of joint plant health and
safety committees in all plants having
a sufficient number of employees to
make such a committee feasible.

health and safety program under
capable direction in every plant re-
gardless of size. The joint interest
of the employe and the employer must
be recognized and fully utilized. In
plants where a labor management
production committee has already
been established and proven effective,
the health and safety committee
might function as subcommittee of
the labor management production
committee. Wherever possible, the
activities of the health and safety
committees should be separated from
grievance procedure, and yet the COM
mittee must have direct contact with
top management and responsible rep
resentatives Of the employees"

TEAMSTER, SOLDIER,
WITH LEG SHOT OFF,
TO RETURN TO JOB

Washington, D. CT takes cour
age to face enemy fire. It takes even
greater courage to face life after be-
ing wounded and incapacitated in
battle. That is the kind of courage
shown by union teamster, Private
Lewis Fleeger, 25, now recuperating
in Walter Reed Hospital here, after
having his left leg torn off by Ger
man shell in Italy.
Young Fleeger, who served for 21
months with the Medical Force in
Africa, Sicily and Italy, doesn't want
sympathy. He said in an interview:
"I'm lucky. I've still got my knee.
AS soon as l get stick on it, l can
go back to my old job driving 15-ton
truck. A lot of guys won't be able
to take up where they left off. They
deserve the sympathy"
Decorated with the order of the
Purple Heart, Fleeger gave high

"When you see trucks driven over
sand dunes, bomb holes, swamps and
bushes, you can hardly believe your
eyes," he said. "You think the drivers
must be crazy to take such chances
even in emergencies, but they have
learned that Army trucks can take it,
thanks to the fine workmanship of
the men and women working in the
factories here at home. / wouldn't

situation which is full of ominous pos
sibilities for the entire labor move
ment.
No fair-minded American can ques-
tion the right of workers to organize
for political purposes and to ardently
support their friends and oppose their
enemies.
However, if Mr.. Hillman, or anyone
else, imagines that proposal to raise
$6,OOO,OO0 to control presidential
campaign will not cause the most seri-
Gus repercussions from one end of
this country to the other, he simply
does not know the American people.
Inevitably Mr.. Hillman's program
will strengthen the hands Of organized
labor's foes and increase the demand
for more rigid regulation of labor
unions.
If only the CIO were effected by
such hostile popular reaction, we
might shrug our shoulders and say,
.It's none of our business" Unfor-
tunately, while the great majority of
trade unionists have no interest in or
sympathy for Mr.. Hillman's grand
lose plan, the entire labor movement
is likely to feel the sting of popular
disapproval.
Mr.. Hillman's alliance with the
"Reds" is also matter of moment to
all trade unionists. For years AFL
unions were plagued by Communist
efforts to penetrate their ranks. These
were successfully resisted, but only
after long and bitter and costly strug-
giles.
Now, with the approval of the CIO,
Mr.. Hillman has thrown the doors
wide open to the "Reds." They DOM
mate his political organization. They
write the propaganda the CIO circu-
lates in political campaigns. They will
direct the expenditure of the millions
Mr.. Hillman proposes to raise for this
campaign. y
Labor" seriously questions of Mr..
Hillman's tactics will aid the Roose-
Truman ticket. 1t is much more
likely to injure it.. But whatever the
effect may be on the presidential cam
paign, Labor" fears the consequences
may be most disturbing to the regu-
lar labor movement. Therefore, it
seems advisable to repudiate Mr.
Hillman's unprecedented program at
the very beginning.

METAL TRADES WIN
WAGE ADJUSTMENTS
FOR COAST WORKERS

Miami Beach.-AFL Metal Trades
Unions, representing workers in Gulf
Coast shipyards, won substantial
victory in their battle for wage rate
adjustments on ship repair jobs.
The gain was scored at a Today
conference of labor, management and
government representatives here un-
der the auspices Of the Shipbuilding
Sterilization Committee.
An agreement was reached under
which all overtime work on repair Of
old ships in Gulf yards will be paid
for at double time rates. Heretofore
this premium rate was allowed only
where labor costs on repair job were
less than $4,000.
The $4,000 had also been the
ceiling" for payment Of double time
in cases Of reconversion Of newly built
ships. Under the agreement, that

an inquiry on why nearly 100000
young men haye been found mentally
or physically unfit for military serv-
ice. National leaders in various fields
appeared before the committee and
made suggestions for general health
improvement.
The situation plainly calls for a
national program to develop physical
fitness. This involves many things, in
cluding adequate provisions for med
ical care, starting with the child.
Other basic essentials are decent hous-
ing and raising of wage levels to
bring good living conditions to all
classes of people.
The problem is closely tied up with
fitness for war and national welfare,
the American Youth Commission
points out.
National defense and national well
fare" it says, "are fundamentally de-
pendent upon the development of a
strong, healthy people. In the present
juncture, every phase of health and
physical fitness for the entire popula-
tion is deserving of most earnest at
tention."

Washington d. C.-The CLOS po-
litical pretensions were politely but
effectively punctured in an editorial,
entitled "Mr. Hillman's Fantastic Pro-
posal," published in Labor" weekly
organ of the standard railway labor
organizations. The text of the edi-
torial follows:
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, is
chief director of the CLOS political
activities. In order to comply with
the provisions of the Smith Connally
bill, he proposes to operate through
two committees, one made up of men,
bers Of the CIO and the other of citi-
zens who sympathize with the CLOS
detectives.
Mr.. Hillman says that each of these
committees will have campaign fund
of $3,O00,O00 That's a total of 6,00O,-
600. In addition, he proposes to
''freeze" what is left to a fund of
100000 raised to influence this years
primaries.
Never has any group in the labor
movement attempted to raise such
huge sums for political purposes. For
example, the Standard Railroad Labor
Organizations, which during the last
25 years have been more active in the
political field than any other labor
group, have never spent in any cam
paign as much as one-half of one per
cent of the amount. Mr.. Hillman says
he and his associates will throw into
the 1914 campaign in order to re-elect
Mr.. Roosevelt and members of Con-
gress approved by the CIO.
Parenthetically it might be pointed
out that the CIO tests" for candi-
dates are not trade union yard
sticks" and frequently emphasize is
sues of no direct concern to the work
ing man.
AS a consequence, candidates with
good labor records are being vigor-
ously and even viciously opposed by
the CIO, while candidates with COM
paratively poor labor records are ar
IDENTIFY approved by the CIO.
However, that is comparatively
minor issue. What concerns us at the
moment is Mr.. Hillman's proposal to
raise great "slush funds" to carry the
coming election.
Coupled with Mr.. Hillman's open al
lance with the Communists in New
York state and elsewhere, we have a

ASK CONGRESS TO ACT.

Biggest domestic problem facing
the nation now is the conversion of
industry from production for war to
production for peace. The nation is
now almost wholly unprepared for
the change-over. If adequate plans
are not made soon, there is danger
of widespread economic panic and dis
organization, if the war in Europe
should end suddenly.
The American Federation of Labor
recognizes this grave danger and has
thrown it's strength behind the COM
prehensive Kilgore bill for reconver-
sion. AS part of its campaign, it is
urging all trade union members to
see or write their Representative and
Senators, urging them to support the
Kilgore measure, introduced by Sem
ator Harley M. Kilgore of West Vir-
ginia.
Every letter will help to impress
Congress with the need for speedy
action. AS President Green has told
all A. F. of L. organizations:
eve need the help of every labor
organization to get prompt action.
You can give indispensable aid by
Immediately contracting your Senators
and Representatives, urging them to

nomic chaos.

fective action"

facts. Having concluded that Tito is
"in," he accepted that situation, not
grudgingly, but willingly; and he
praised Tito as a stalwart warrior, in
a speech which had the smell of man
about it,
Now, of course, we would never do
anything like that, because we are so
deep in our internal debate between
rightiSm and leftism that we would be
afraid kindly reference to Tito might
be interpreted as a covert attack on
the National Association Of Manufac-
turers.
The fears of Congress that Mr..
Roosevelt is really engaged in con-
spiracy to socialize America would in
stantly light up, and it would obscurely
retaliate by attaching a rider to the
next deficiency appropriation bill to
withhold the salary of the White House
furnace tender.

business in depressing humble Mr.
Churchill does not. When he takes an
extremely conservative position, he does
so quite as candidly as when he accepts

attached to the 'monarchical principle" :"

lican principle?" Who knows? Neither

law from Mr.. Beedy Saturday and to
determine what its course shall be at
that time. The criminal law defines
failure to Ianswer questions Of con-
gressional committee as contempt and
misdemeanor punishable by fine Of
81 900 and jail sentence up to one year.
The Senate has sought to punish re-
calcitrant witnesses in the past, and
jailed some. They have all been private
citizens, however, and not employees or
officials of the Government. The law
does not differentiate between private
citizens and Government officials, how
ever.
Nevertheless, the committee is in
quandry. Mr.. Daniels appeared at the
committee hearing Monday accompan-
led by Ugo Carusi, executive assistant
to Attorney General Biddle, who acted
as Mr. Daniels counsel. Apparently
acting on the advice of Mr.. Carusi, Mr..
Daniels refused to answer the commit
tees questions on the ground he was
confidential assistant to the President
and that his answers would not be in
the public interest.
If the Senate, on request Of its COM
mittee, should institute contempt pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Daniels the case
could be tried by the Senate itself or
turned over to the district attorney for
prosecution in the courts here. 1t has
followed the latter course in the past.
If the Department Of Justice is sup
porting Mr.. Daniels, committee mem
bers say, it would be ridiculous to ask
a district attorney, an official Of the
department, to prosecute Mr.. Daniels.

Cat has our tongues, I guess. Or may
be it is fear that if we came out firmly
for the Italian Committee of National
Liberation, that might be considered
pro-CIO attitude, since there are labor
leaders in that grouping. Somehow, it
has become almost un-American to be
too darn smart about what is going on
in Italy.
We don't say it. We never say it. The
rancors of domestic debate on the right
left issue are so close to the surface that
we feel ourselves compelled to humble
on foreign affairs. We feel, perhaps,
that there is an intimate connection be-
tween what happens in Yugoslavia, and
the future of the private practice of
medicine in America, or the fate of
utility holding company. AS a matter
Of fact there is little connection.
Yugoslavia has lived under a kind of
feudalism punctuated by assassination
for thousand years, and by all the
rules of history, including the famous
pendulum swing, so popular with Re-
publicans, some kind of leftward mani
festation is due and is arriving on
schedule.
What is there in that to shock us?
The left is winning somewhere, so whatP
1t isn't going to kill us.
But we must not say these things
clearly. Somebody would be sure to drag
Harry Hopkins into it, if we did When
we talk of the price we pay for disunity,
let us not forget to add the unhappy
necessity 1t puts us under of describing
planetary storms and earthquakes in
nonsense syllables and baby-talk.
