Auxiliary Aid
To Servicemen

Washington, Apr. S-The CLIO
Joined this week with its national
Auxiliary Congress for calling for
observance of April is to % as
Blue Star Mothers Week.
1.-THE Congress Of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS takes pride in Joining
with our Women's Auxiliaries to
honor the mothers and wives OF
our servicemen and merchant sea-
men In this Blue Star Mothers
Week." President Philip Murray
said In a letter to the officers Of
the Congress Of Women's Aux
iliaries.
II am delighted 10 note the ac-
tvities Of our Auxiliaries In mob
LIKING women to back up our
fighting men In every way posi-
bic, and I know that nobody feels
the need for this more intimately
than do their own womenfolk.
This Blue Star Mothers Week
presents q fine opportunity to give
practical expression to the affec-
ton and loyalty we feel for our
sons and brothers in the armed
forces and all the other American
boys who are so valiantly fighting
for victory over the Axis.
CLIO unions and auxiliaries
throughout the country are plan
ming ceremonies during Blue Star
Mothers Week in honor of the wom-
en- in the families Of our service
men.

times as many people rs syphilis.
8. Syphilis, II untreated, may
result In insanity, blindness, and
other serious disorders.
6. 1t is a cause Of stillbirths. and
Is the reason for the deaths Of
many infants In the first weeks OF
life.
CALL TO ACTION
This, In brief. Is a statement of
the problem. 1t will prove useful
II 1t acts as q stimulus to organ
lied action against this killer
syphilis-and this crippler-gonor-
rhea-which stalk the land and
strike down our people, often in
the prime Of their lives.
For the plain truth is that the
danger Of venereal infection can bs
avoided. The surest way to avoid
infection is to avoid exposure to in
lection. vD can be cured. We have
reliable medical weapons at hand
for the treatment and cure Of these
diseases. Organized labor can play
a big part In seeing to 1t that these
weapons are put to use, and that
these infections are wiped out.

raise at least ten billion more
dollars to meet our war needs.
Congress instead passed . bill
which increased the burden ON
low income families, relieved tho
wealthy and netted the Treasury
less than two billion dollars.
And when the President vetoed
that bill because IL gave "relief
not to the needy but to tho
greedy" Congress passed 10
again, over his veto.
The President has asked Con-
gress repeatedly to authorize SUBJ
sidy payments to hold prices
stable, to prevent imitation, to as
sure the health Of our people and
their ability to produce. Congress
has refused-and only by twice
vetoing bills to ban subsidy pay
ments has the President saved US
from a rapid rise In living costs.
KEEP THIS IN MIND
Let's keep all this constantly In
mind as we celebrate Blue Star
Mothers Week In this election year
Of 1914.
We will be sending greetings to
the women Of the United Nations
from our Blue Star Mothers meet
ings. We will be sending greet
ings to the boys whose wives and
mothers we are honoring. And in
those greetings we will be pledg-
ing to do all in our power to speed
the victory and insure a lasting
peace after the war.
We mean those pledges from
the bottom Of our hearts, and
one Of the main ways I'm which
we will make good on them In
to get behind our Commander
in-Chief and see to it that the
men and women we send to
Congress I'm November will get
behind him, too.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-04-10

All over the country. luncheons
and teas, meetings and receptions
will be held for this special pur-
pose. Some Of these occasions, like
the big meeting planned by the
National Maritime Auxiliary in
New York, will be dedicated pri.
marily to honoring gold star
women whose sons and husbands
have lost their lives delivering the
implements of war to our armed
forces and our allies.
All Of us, as we participate In
this years Blue Star Mothers
Week observances will feel more
keenly than ever the tremendous
responsibilities which the war
has brought to the women who
remain ut home.
To q large extent IL II up to
ms 10 speed the Victory 80 that
our men will soon como home,
and to insure, through our ac-
tive participation in the political
life Of our country, that they
come home to the kind Of
America they are fighting for.
How can we most effectively dc
that? BY mobilizing support for
our Commander-in-Ch Chief and his
win-the-war policies. Let's look at
the record and let's see to It that
every Blue Star wife and mother
knows that record.
THE RECORD
The President called on Con.
gress to adopt a uniform federal
ballot which would enable all our
servicemen to take part In the
1914 elections. Instead Congress
adopted a law so cumbersome and
so complicated that the chances
are most Of our fighting men will
not be able to vote.
The President asked Congress
to adopt q tax bill which would

One Of the purposes Of these
articles Is to give information that
will help you protect your health.
Later In the series, suggestions
will be made for action that can be
taken by your trade union to sup
port measures needed to control
vD.
FACTS IN THE CASE
Here are q few facts showing
that these contagious diseases are
the country's number one health
problem:
l. There Is reason to believe that
IL all conditions due to syphilis
were reported as such It would be
found a leading cause of death In
the United States.
2. Four million people I'm the
United States have syphilis In
every 30. More than 100000
people contract the disease yearly.
3. Syphilis Is q catching disease.
It spreads from one person to an
other by body contact, mainly dur
ing sex relations.
4. Gonorrhea strikes at least .

Protection Of the industrial work.
er's health Is q challenge which
organized labor Is taking up as
part of Its about drive for victory.
The Importance of the fight and
the scope Of the struggle for better
health are summarized In the
statement of 4 leading health
officer who said that "even In
peacetime, Industrial disab ility
takes 400 million days of the pro-
duction lire. At least 20 per
cent Is preventable now. If we
could save only 10 per cent we
should have the extra labor avail
able to build 16.470 combat tanks"
The record shows that the We
nereal diseases - syphilis and
gonorrhea-are among the great
est cripplers Of the striking
power Of our armed forces, and.
n the truth were known, Of the
productive powers Of working
people. Serious In peace, these
diseases In wartime are Q num-
bor one health problem.

their last electric bill. 500
didn't realize that rates had

That's the clue. You don't re-

cause your bill may be as much
as it was fifteen years ago-or
perhaps even more. But you
have more electric appliances

The farther American forces adj

We have met these needs and those

ing for the public health and welfare.
We have met them promptly, and will
continue to do so.
However, it has taken about all of
the equipment and plant we have to
do this. That's why telephone serv-
ice is hard to get-why we can't fill
orders as fast as we would like.
But by recovering facilities quickly
when service is discontinued, and
operating central Offices beyond their
normal capacity, we are doing what
we can to serve as many as possible.
