production loss hampering the

such serious shortages at home
that talk of clothes rationing
has been revived.
A whole series of situations
similar to that in the textile in

dramatized by union leaders

Lewis G. Hines, legislative rep

on the first day and the CIO on

CIO Internationals are present
ing evidence showing that many
industries essential to the war
effort, contrary to popular
thinking on the subject, are still
paying intolerably low wages
and furthermore that this very
fact is holding back vital pro-
duction and threatens the stab

Among the CIO unions repre-
sented at hearings are the Anal

United Show Workers, Cannery

his thanks to the CIO for its part
''in making America strong for
the great fight we all have be-
fore U.S."
Kroll Reviews Year
President Jack Kroll, review
ing the past year of the CIO in
Ohio, reemphasized the part that
labor must play in the Novem-
Der election. Mr.. Kroll con-
demned the "brass hats of the
Republican party, with their
newspapers and radio commen-
tators who would have us be-
lieve that the war is practically
over and we are ready to return
to normalcy again"
Kroll said that the Ohio CIO
Council had exceeded its growth
of last year and was in better
position financially and in point
of numbers than ever before N
its history.
Devoting the major portion of
his talk to political action, Presi-
dent Kroll said that all labor in
Ohio had joined hands for the
winning of this years election.
He said that there was complete
agreement in the labor move
ment that Mr.. Roosevelt must be
reelected to the presidency.
To Label Candidates
Comparing the candidates for
election to the OPA grade label
ing which was defeated, Mr..
Kroll said that in the case of
candidates for political office,
the Political Action Committee
was going to label them and
that when labeled, "they would
be dumped into the political
sewers of oblivion.
Kroll was particularly en-
phatic in his treatment of Sen
ator Robert A. Taft and Gov
ernor Dewey. Of Dewey he said,
"Mr. Dewey himself did not go
to the Dumbarton Oaks confer
ence but sent Mr.. Dulles, be-
cause he was actually so ignor-
ant of international affairs that
he was afraid to expose to the
conference how little he really
knew"
Saying that Mr.. Bricker was
beloved by Gerald L. K. Smith
and the America First group, he
told the delegates that "you can
depend upon him to blunder
right through this campaign un-
til he is retired to the position
of third-rate lawyer"
Twice DishonOred
"Ohio is twice dishonored in
this election" said Mr.. Kroll,
who mentioned both Governor
Bricker and Senator Taft as the
causes for dishonor.
Kroll referred to the billions
of dollars worth of plants and
equipment which the govern
ment will want to get rid of fol-
lowing the close of the war and
spoke his opposition to the use
of it with no other than the
profit motive to guide those who
might get their hands upon it.
Concluding his talk, the CIO
head said that political action
was the only preventative for
the catastrophe of lower wages
and more war. He said, This is
too big a problem to trust to a
boy gang-buster who was built
up to presidential stature by

Political
Action

of the Political Action Committee
Considerable public criticism
has been level at the PAC for
its campaign to re-elect Pres
ident Roosevelt. The dollar
contributed by the people who
wish to assure the election of
liberals to public office has
come in for its full share of
reactionary inspired, venom
Gus attacks.
Under the present laws
each union is permitted only
to finance from its treasury
such political activity as it can
carry on itself. A Union can
buy PAC literature and put
people on full time on poll
tical action work, but they
cannot make a contribution to
a political party or to the
PAC. This makes it necessary
for the PAC to charge $1.00
for membership and to fl
nance campaigns for the cleo
tion of friends of labor to pub
lie Office through voluntary
contributions of members and
friends.
The PAC has complied to
the letter with these repres-
sive laws. We will work for
the repeal of laws which are
designed to prevent the work
ers from expressing their feel
ings through the ballot, and
we will work for the enact
ment of legislation to make it
possible for the workers to
live under an administrations
which supports the principle
of full employment and full
production, with social secur-
ity and civil liberties safe
guards.
It so happens that while the
efforts of labor unions to get
their friends elected to pub
lie office are restricted by
legislation which make volun-
tary contributions from in
dividuals necessary, the Ma
tional Association of Manu-
facturers is spending and So
liciting money from the in
dustrialists to finance political
campaigns to elect conser-
vativeS to public office.
To dispell any doubts on
this matter here is a copy of
a communication from the
NAM which has been sent to
the leading industrialists of
the United States:

Guard Is Arraigned
In Staying Of Sailor
Epecial Dispatch to The Star.


LEONARDTOWN, Md, Mar. g.
w. P. Upright, civilian guard at the
Cedar Point naval base, was to be
arraigned this afternoon before
Judge Abel of the st. Mary's County
Magistrates Court in the fatal
shooting of sailor, j. l.. McVickers,
26, during a brawl Wednesday in
the civilians canteen at the base.
State Trooper M. E. Caldwell said
Upright was attempting to arrest
man named Helm, who was re-
ported drunk in the canteen, when
two sailors tried to interfere. In the
resulting fracas, Officer Caldwell
said, McVickers was killed and an
other sailor, Frank Gerold, was
wounded
Feeling against Upright has been
running high among the sailors at
the base, and since the shooting he
has been confined in an undisclosed
jail in Southern Maryland. After
the incident, naval censorship was
put in effect although the incident
has been widely discussed in Leon
ardtown for five days.
Upright heads a staff of six
civilian guards whose duty it is to
protect property of the Consolidated
Aircraft Co. stored at the base.
Cedar Point officials said Upright's
wife lives in Washington.
The evidence against Upright
will be presented by States ATTORNEY
Henry Gambler If Judge Abel
holds him for the grand jury, his
case may be tried in the st. Marys
Circuit Court, which begins its
spring session here March 20.
