units along the 10-mile stretch be-
tween Faenza n Bagnacavallo.

fortress.

was happening.
The roar of the approac ching

and did not start to run until one
of the planes suddenly swooped
down and released a bomb. Too late

Frankish had remained at tn

Productivity On
Increase

The unprecedented increase in
output per man-hour by indus
trial workers since the begin
ming of the war explodes the
theory that postwar prices will
range from 35 to 40 per cent
above 1912 levels.
The OPA recently released
figures showing that in durable
goods manufacturing industries
including the automobile in
dustry-output per man-hour
rose 25.3 per cent from Janu-
ary, 1899, to January, 1914, and
80 per cent since January, 1941.
For all manufacturing indus
try, output per man-hour has in
creased 21.6 per cent since Janu-
airy, 1899. and 8.3 per cent since
January, 1941.
In other words, man-hour pro-
ductivity has been increasing at
a rate nearly double the peace
time average of 25 per cent per
year.
For certain types of war pro-
duction, the increases in pro-
ductivity have been even more
startling.

war bonds-are not the answers.
Unemployment Insurance is a
stop-gap, and never was con-
ceived as anything else. War
bond savings simply are not
adequate.
X y X
Latest available figures on
Series E bonds-Which are the
bonds the average worker owns
show that $23, ,257, 100000 of
these bonds still remain in the
hands of the public. That looks
like an enormous sum of money.
Divide it by 1875, 100000 persons
and it means a per capita aver
age of $172.27. That's not much
cushion.
Redemptions aren't entirely to
blame. The rate of redemption
has increased somewhat, but
only 1923 per cent of all the
bonds issued have been re-
deemed.
Workers simply haven't been
able to buy enough bonds, in
spite of price control and re-
stricted output of civilian gods,
to provide the cushion labor has
heard so much about. Under an
unrestricted private enterprise
system they never would be able
to buy enough-but that's an
other story.
The immediate need is for or
derly reconversion-fast recon-
version-and planned reconver-
sion to prevent business chaos
and unbearable initiation.
Labor is calling upon govern
ment to convene reconversion
conferences as the first order of
business Immediately after No
vember 7. Programs for such
conferences should be in prep
aration now.

ment that it will take at least a
year and a half to defeat Japan
after Germany is beaten. This
will be accomplished only if
every bit of American strength
is put behind the effort, they
emphasized.
While the European war has
proven expensive, almost every
thing in the Pacific war will cost
more, Mr.. Gamble said.
Freight transportation costs
alone will be 25 per cent more
to the Pacific than to France
In addition it takes twice as
many cargo ships in the Pacific
to support a task force of given
size due to the tremendous dis
tances.
More Equipment Needed
More equipment of nearly all
kindes will also be neded-more
BIO Superfortresses at 100000
cash, more PAT Thunderbolts
that cost $4,000 each, more
MA tanks with bulldozer blades
that cost SGT AIT each, more am
phibious tanks, more aircraft
carriers, more supply ships,
more gasoline and oil than it
took for the invasion of Europe.
In addition for many years
sick, wounded and otherwise
disabled veterans will require
medical care and attention as
well. That is the least America
can do for them in appreciation
of what they have done for her,
Mr.. Gamble said.
These are some of the reasons
why the government will con-

Health Insurance
Wanted

DENVER, Nov. 6 (LPA)-De-
spite attempts of the American
Medical Assn. and reactionary
physicians committees to smear
health insurance plans as "un-
American" the overwhelming
majority of Americans favor in
clusion of health insurance in
our social security system, the
Natl. Public Opinion Research
Center reported here last week.
Ninety-two per cent of those
questioned in a nationwide poll
declared something should be
done to make medical care
easier. In addition, $50 wanted
the government to do it through
enactment of the Wagner-Mur-
ray-Dingell bill, which includes
health insurance in the proposed
improvements in the social Sc
curity system.

PIoskon Workers
Protest Ruling
Continued from Page l

Unit chairman expressed the
the view that since the company
had permitted collections to be
taken up for many other causes,
it was not being consistent in
refusing the union the right to
take up a collection for the
servicemen.
"We can't see why its okay to
take up a collection to purchase
present for a foreman and a
great infraction of company
rules" to take up collection
to send gifts to our servicemen"
said Chairman Hamframpf.
Employees sent home by the
company are growing impatient
at the failure of the company to
discuss the situation with union
officials. "The company is using
this situation to create feeling
of dissatisfaction among our
people" said one. "We will not
change our position, so they
might as we'll come to terms and
quit acting like we were Nazis
instead of bunch of guys try
ing to build the morale of our
soldiers who are fighting the
Nazis," said another of the
demonstrators.
Failure to settle the difference
between the company manage
ment and the union is leading to
w d e spre d dissatisfaction
among the other employees who
are working in the plant, Even
the office force is showing a
sympathy with the workers and
public sentiment throughout the
city is growing. Il never heard
of anything so ridiculous" said a
prominent Toledo society wom-
an, when told of the COM
pany's action is stopping the
union from taking up collec-
tion.
Workers laid off by the COM
pany say that they will not re-
turn to their jobs until the COM
pany agrees that the union may
be permitted to aid is men who
are now serving in the armed
forces. Meanwhile, the com,
pany management is uncon-
cerned as the workers increase
the publicity about its unpatri-
otic and arbitrary stand.

Labor Laws
Weakened. !
WASHINGTON. NovembI

WASHINGTON. Novemb0 4
(LPA)-The annual box score of
the section of the Labor Dept.
which keeps track of state and
federal labor legislation was is
sued last week.
Most of the record is not too
hopeful to labor, though very
few state legislatures met last
year, and most important bills
will come up in the early months
of 1945 when more than 40 state
law-making bodies reconvene.
On the debit side, relaxations
of the child labor laws were re-
ported in Kentucky, New York,
Louisiana. Kentucky relaxed
for the duration of the war all
hours and night work restric-
tions for minors under 16.
Equal pay for equal work was
established by law in New York
state, where both men and wo-
men now benefit by the mini
mum wage law.
Greatest progress is reported
in the tally of changes in work
mems compensation laws. In
New York state, 18 strengthen
ing amendments were made, to
eliminate racketeering by un-
ethical physicians, to increase
benefits, to speed up awards,
and to curb kickbacks. Other
states passing important amend
ments to improve their compen-
Sation machinery and benefits
were Virginia, Kentucky, Louis
lana, New Jersey and South
Carolina.

Gives Lubor
Opportunity

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. g..
For organized labor, coopera-
tive action is a second great eco
nomic weapon-it is labor's next
great opportunity" says Murray
D. Lincoln, president of The Co.
operative League of the USfrfrtts
a recent issue of the LoconSers< :
Firemen and Enginemn's rs, 4
zine, published here.
Labor has already won the
battle for industrial democracy"
the cooperative leader declares.
"1t can win the battle for eco
nomic democracy if it realizes
and utilizes it's consumer pow
err" Labor has already made
use of consumer cooperative ac-
ton in many countries of the
world, he says, where there is
realization that men, combin-
ing as producers and consumers,
can solve many of their own
problems. "
Lists Results
Mr.. Lincoln lists these re-
suits realized by organized con-
sumers; Co-ops raise the stand
ard of living; return ownership
of store, factories and natural
resources to the people; make
business serve the needs of peo-
pie and not profit; bring more
goods to more people at less
costs; and stimulate vital pur-
chasing power by returning saw
ings to members. In the U. s.,
10000 co-ops are doing nearly a
billion dollars worth of non
profit trade this year.

Army Releases
Plants When
MESA Returns
Continued from Page

the Board came the order to the
Army to take over Toledo plants
critically effected by the walk
out.
In a meeting between Mr..
Smith, Earl Streeter, local
MESA representative and other
representatives of the striking
union and the Army, Smith still
refused on Saturday afternoon
to call off the strike and send
his men back to their jobs. But
on Sunday, Smith issued an or
der to his members to return to
their work on Monday morning.
Call Off Army
On Monday morning, plants
effected by the strike found all
their employees back on the
job. Absenteeism was approxi-
mately normal and by the end
of the day full production had
been resumed
Observing the compliance of
the MESA with the Army's or
der to the striking workers to
return to their jobs, Col. Philip
Fayonville issued a statement in
which he informed the union
that he was removing Army con-
troll and returning the plants to
their managements.
In an. earlier statement. Col.
Fayonville praise d the Auto
Workers for remaining on their
jobs.
Six Go To Trial
The six in whose behalf the
MESA called its strike went to
trial on November before a
trial committee set up by the
Auto-Lite Unit in accord with
the terms of the UAW-CIO Con-
stitution. These members who
were under the UAW-CIO juris-
diction and for whom Local IL
held bargaining rights also car
ried membership cards in the
MESA.
In the case of five other en-
ployees discharged earlier in
October, the War Labor Board
upheld the Auto-Lite Unit and
sustained the discharge of the
five. The five were UAW-CIO
members of the Auto-Lite Unit
who also carried cards in the
MESA.
GOsser Comments
The only comment made by |
Regional Director Richard Cos
ser on the case was "the War |
Labor Board sustained the Union
in its decision to handle its own
affairs according to its jurisdic-
tional rights and according to
the terms of our constitution. In
the case of the six other men,
bers who have gone to trial, we
are merely carrying out the
terms of our constitution. We
cannot and will not permit any
Individual or organization to
dictate to us when 1t comes to
running the affairs of our own
union. We insist that our juris-
dictional rights be respected by
others"

as the count went into the
second day. Counting of SOL
dier's ballots in some states will
not take place for several days,
but it is felt that these votes will
benefit the President rather than
Governor Dewey.
Ohio which seemed certain to
be in Dewey's column late
Tuesday night had undergone a
change and on Wednesday ap-
peared to be heading for the
Presidents reelection.
Win Congress Control
On the basis of incomplete re-
turns, it appeared that con-
gressional control of the next
congress will rest with the
Democrats although they did
not secure a two-thirds major
ity. The Democrats have ap-
parently picked up % seats in
the House. The next congress
will number 221 Democrats,
l59 Republicans and three
minority group representatives.
Morse Wins
Wayne B. Morse, Republican
candidate for the United States
Senate from Oregon who was
backed by the PAC in the pri-
maries and election won his
race by a good majority. Demo
Gratis however, appear to have
won control of the senate.
Incomplete returns indicate
that the Democrats will show a
gain in the senate as well as the
house. Most of the Republicans
who were elected had gone on
record as being opposed to iso-
lationist government and indi-
Gated that they would 60 along
with the President in his pro-
gram for settlement of the post
war peace and international re-
lations.
Voting Heavy
Voting throughout the coun-
try was extremely heavy. In
many areas, particularly Cali
fornia it exceeded the predic-
tions which had been made.
California; outpouring of vot-
ers was due to a considerable
extent to a referendum on the
ticket calling for the abolition
of the closed shop. The union
mustered their forces to meet
this threat.
Industrial areas saw par
ticularly heavy vote. Michigan
industrial areas early Wednes-
day were swinging the state
from the Republican to the
Democratic column and it ap-
peared at last report that the
Democrats would carry the
state both for the national and
state tickets.
