too little understood by many British
workers.
Among other noteworthy projects

through the contributions of their
thousands of members, are two rest

ers 1T is difficult" Mr.. Woll explain
ed, for Americans to appreciate the
terrific mental and physical strain
undergone by the drivers of the over
therOad transport trucks that carry
munitions and materials of war in
dustry to all parts of Britain. The
man-killing factor in wartime is night
driving i'm the blackout. Compelled to
make miles in pitch blackness, with
mere specks of light in place of head
lights, the number of breakdowns in
this heroic war job is very high. In

ment for a few days, American work
men again have made an important
contribution to Allied victory
The AFL is also sponsoring youth
hostels in England, Scotland, Wales
and North Ireland. This project is of
special value under war conditions,
when housing becomes a crucial prob
lem for the many thousands of young
men who are living far from their
native surroundings to do their part in
the war.
Other projects are a hostel for work
ing boys in Glasgow, recreational
clubs in the coal-mining area for young
mining boys, and special educational
tial hostels.
In Palestine the AFL's contributions
are badly needed because of the eXpan-
sion of war industry, with conse-
quent large increase in industrial acci-
dents, and an increase in many dis
eases. This contribution will be used
for wartime emergency assistance for

right to do. He went on and said it
was just as any citizen has right to
say he won't go to Jail. But they go
anyway, he said.
After that, he recalled, the EN-
ployees went on strike.
Here, he commented, are the facts
that the country doesn't know. The
press and radio hasn't let the country
know, he said. President Roosevelt said
he wasn't charging these things, he
was just stating the fact.
The President said the election was
ordered to be held within 80 days of
the time his seizure order went into
effect. The result of the election, either
way, ends the case. If the union should
lose, that ends the matter If the union
wins, the company has said it would be
willing to, continue the contract, and
that also would end the case.
Too many people have been looking
under beds, he said.

Says American Federation
Of Labor Membership
Posses 7,000.0 900 Mark

Toledo. ION the eve of invasion,
when our armies need every ounce OF
material we can produce, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor emphatically
repeats its no-stke pledge" President
William Green told 500 trade union
lists. public officials and civic leaders
in Toledo Friday, May Is.
The occasion was a dinner sponsored
by the Toledo Central Labor Union.
The wartime needs of the govern
ment have come first, and the unions
have placed their own welfare in
secondary position, the AFL president
said. picturing the chaos that might
have resulted if labor had not patri-
otically and unselfishly dedicated it
self to the winning of the war, re-
gardless of the many sacrifices it en-
tailed.
President Green announced that AtL
membership has now passed the seven
million mark. This figure represents
actual paid-up membership, certified
by public accountants, and open to
inspection. The announcement of the
growth of the national organization
brought prolonged applause.
Phil Hannah, secretary-treasurer of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor,
appeared with President Green on the
program and told of labors aims after
winning of the war.
Labor" he said, wants regime of
economic freedom, but our enterprise
system must demonstrate that ii can
function so as to conserve and utilize,
not waste and dissipate, our natural
resources.
Labor wants free enterprise, but
our productive system must be com
mitted to the progressive raising of the
national income and the maintenance
of full employment. Such IA system is
necessarily opposed 10 all tendencies
toward monopolistic restriction"
President Michael j. Lyden of the
State Federation was accorded the
honor of acting ms toastmaster at the
meeting, and paid tribute TO the ac-
complishments of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in Toledo, the state,
and nation.
On Sunday, May IA, President Green
spoke at a forum sponsored by the
Toledo Committee of the Organization
of Peace He told this group that a
high wage standard is inseparately
associated with full employment,
Cur ability To consume goods should
be greater than our ability to produce
goods Prices are maintained, in
come Is increased and decent earnings
result therefrom."

Washington FP). - The Alabama
lawyer who defeated Representative
Joe Starnes in the Democratic prim-
ary May 2 makes a point of insisting
he isn't Labor man." but rather is
"the peoples friend"
The victorious Alabaman is Albert
Rains of Gadsden and he spent s years
working to retire Martin Dies vice
chairman to private life.
Rains, 40, got 14,137 votes to 1851
for Starnes in the complete count and
admitted he had strong backing from
the labor unions in his home county Of
DeKalb, where the industrial cities of
Gadsden and Attala are located. He
says he represents mo particular group
or interest - except the people. My
percentage among the farmers was
much higher than my percentage of
the labor vote"
Eight years ago when Rains first
opposed StarneS, he olst by only 2,600
votes. And in those eight years he
said I've been working the district
while Starnes stayed in Washington" J"
Rains opposes the present soldier
vote bill--the states rights law-as "a
makeshift' and says he favors "a bill
which gives every soldier who can
qualify as an elector the right to vote
and an opportunity to cast his ballot" "

WaShington.-Sew Avery, the un-
to obey the orders of the President of
the L. s. and was bodily elected from
his Office in Montgomery Ward x Co. 5
Chicago plant is a very tough 20 year
old
Although UP to April 2S Avery has
not been mentioned as "A candidate on
the Republican ticket as Il rival to
the Human Icicle, Tom Dewey, lots of
the more embittered reactionaries won
der why.
Avery has the tinsel glamor and
umph that brings rave notices from
the Chicago Tribune and its kind.
There is still time TO trot Wards mil
iionaire onto the track as white
named dark horse.
News columns on Avery, aside from
lavish praise of his one-nan stand
against the L. $. Army, have con-
tented themselves with singing Of his
enterprise and ability, his keen bust
ness sense that brought Wards out of
the red. But there's another side to
this Jealous indiyidualist.
Avery is very big potato, mates
He is multi-mllionaire with a heavy
chunk of Wards profitable stock in
his ample jeans. He also graces the
boards Of L. $. Steel, Pure Oil, Ar
mour, l.. S. Gypsum, Pullman-Stand-
ard and the big Chicago utility com
bine Peoples Light Gas & Coke co.
Tough? Avery is the sort of fighter
who will resort to any tactics to win,
be it lneeing an opponent or a little
fancy eye-gouging. He's proud of hav-
ing mind of his oWn--and seldom
loses chance to express it despite
the difficulties it brings. So far he's
gotten away with spending hundreds
of thousands of Wards dollars in
newspaper ads to proclaim his scorn
of the accepted legal processes and
this nations commander-n-chief.
Avery doesn't like unions aud ne
hates F.D.R. That is the real story of
the knock down battle that and

Alfred Hitchcock draws little dia-

when he plans to scare you.
Mr.. Hitchcock gets ready to create
suspense, mystery and fright by
drawing on little pads and scraps OF
paper all the key scenes for his new
pictures. He stuffs these in his
pockets and at the proper time turns
them over to his cameraman. Hitch
cock himself never squints through
the camera. as most directors do. to
see how things are going to look on

His sketches, he admits. some
times bother cameramen. They are
very competent sketches, but Hitch
cock frequently calls for effects that
are difficult to photograph. For in
stance, if Hitchcock wants to show
man standing by a table on which
there is a glass Of poison, he empha-
