ly a word, in the International Hod
Carriers, Building and Common La
borers' Union of America. The great
majority of the members know and
fully appreciate the fact. There is
no discrimination among the member
ship for any reason. While an indi-
vidual here and there, in such a vast
organization, might personally violate
his trust or otherwise perhaps justify
censure, the international union and
its membership as a whole is widely
recognized as among the most genu-
mely reliable and the most sincerely
cooperative organizations of any kind
"While we are not accustomed to
boast, as all must know, this brief
review would not be complete or ac-
curate without some expression of the
pride which the officers and the mem
bership feel In the long and honorable
record of our organization, in the sin
cerity Of purpose and unity of action
which animates our word and deed,
the organization a demonstra-
ton of democracy in action.
"Thus briefly, would | commend to
your consideration the high purpose
and the practical progress over the

Boards Asked To
Assist Veterans
In Finding Work

Washington, d. C. ILNS) .-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has called upon the
nations $500 local draft boards to do
everything possible ''to assist the
veteran in obtaining unemployment
on discharge from the armed forces P"
He praised the boards for meeting
the military drafts while aiding in
dustry and agriculture to meet un-
paralleled demands for war produc-
tion." He described unemployment Of
the veterans as another important
task which must be discharged with
equal efficiency by the Selective Serv-
ice System"
In companion statement, Selective
Service Director Lewis B. Hershey
urged the boards to consider provid-
ing psychological as well as eco
nomic aid" to veterans.
"The veteran returning from mill
tary service to civilian life requires
not only aid to obtain a job, but also
assistance for general readjustment,"
Hershey said
"His habits and processes Of
thought as we'll as of action have been
radically changed by service in the
armed forces. He must be assisted in
picking up the threads of his civilian
life, where he dropped them when he
went to war, and weave the pattern of
successful career"

Open Shop Gidnt
Conquered BYIAM
Triumph AT Polls Makes
Union Representative OF
Aircraft Workers

One of the greatest ''open shop
fortresses in the aircraft industry-the
Douglas Aircraft Corporation in Santa
Monica, Calf. - has been captured
by the International Association of
Machinists.
1t took three National Labor Rela-
tions Board elections to do the job,
against strong company opposition. In
the first, some months ago, the mo
union" vote won out. In the second,
several weeks ago, the /. A. Nj. and
the G. |. O. Auto Workers came out
neck and neck, but with both falling
short of Il majority.
In the runoff this week the Machin-
lists swamped the c. /. O., rolling up
63 per cent of the votes cast thus be-
coming bargaining agency for over
$4,000 workers at the plant.
Three Plants Under Banner
Most of the major aircraft COM
panies have been under the |. A. NJ
banner for some time, but Douglas
was the most powerful holdout. Two
branch plants of the corporation-in
El SegundO. Calf, and Tulsa, Okla
were previously conquered by the
Machinists, and now the parent plant
in Santa Monica has been added to the
fold
