JOB ACTION IMPERATIVE

FRANK p. FENTON AFL director OF organlza-
ton Just back from q visit to the battleiclds
of France with other labor representatives,
brings word that our soldiers demand assurance
of employment when the war ends Ills report
shows the soldiers are impatient with homeiront
delay in working out program for postwar en-
ployment and prosperity and 1t constitutes q
powerful argument for speedy action.
'While we were i'm France, Mr. FentOn SAID
in a radio broadcast, 1--WE talked with many high
officers from General Eisenhower, General Pat
ton, General Bradley, General Lee, and the other
top men right down the line. But we also talked
with a lot Of plain G. J. Joes. There was one thing
that we found them all in agreement on-frst.
they want to get the war won so they can come
home; second they want assurance that there will
be jobs for them when they do get home, instead
of depression.
''These men are preoccupled with the task lnl-
medately before them, but at the same time they
are intensely interested in what is going at
home. They are well-inlorned They told us that
they had noted with satisfaction, that organized
labor is calling for and battling for full employ
ment after the war.
But, they said, We see you fellows aren't get
ting very far. 1t looks like government and indus
try don't seem to realize how vital this is. Well
they'd better perk up and give US some action
because there's one thing YOU can tell them back
home, we aren't goinq through all this over here
just so we can 90 on the dole when the war isl
over
In ending Mr. Fenton emphasized the need for
action now and added: Lets get going. Let u.s.
build an economy that the soldiers will be proud
Of that the great sacrifices they have made will
not be in vain"

LABOR PROVES IT'S WORTH TO
THE WORKING PEOPLE

EIME and experience is proving beyond a shadow
of doubt, that voluntary labor organization Is
he finest economic weapon the working people OF
his or any other country can have for depend
ency.
Since the beginning OF trade union history the
records show that men and women have had tC
assert themselves, through their voluntary
unions, to make any worthwhile and lasting prog
ress.
1t is true that much progress has been made
through legislation and governmental agencies
however, it should be remembered that it was the
trade-union movement which sponsored and pro
NOTED the enactment of most of the beneficial
legislation on the statute books.
There are some people, too many Of them wage
eaTners who discount the value of the labor move
nent on the premise that the government will do
for the wage Garner anything labor union can.
These people either don't know the history OF
abor's struggle upward or they are doing some
wishful thinking with view to saving the small
fee necessary to the maintenance OF labor or
ganiZatiOn.
All labor and social economic legislation rests
on a political foundation which, like the shifting
sands, shakes at every political upheava. Men
and Governments change and even principles are
twisted and fashioned to fit the mental gymnastics
of whatever political group may be in power Or
ganized labor has only indirect control over
legislation; therefore, if often impotent when
crisis arises.
Under any and all circumstances 50 far ex-
pelienced by labor, labor organizations have
proven their worth and stability in protecting and
progressing labor standards After World War l.
this proved to be true and it will also prove true
after the present war.
There is nothing more vita to labor's postwar
interests than strong, aggressive labor organlza-
tions capable Of holding their own against all
opposition.
Membership is the first essential, but a mem
bershp which represents all the employees is nee
essary if the best results are to be obtained
There are no closed shop agreements on the
railroads and this accounts for the non-members
therefore, it becomes an obligation of every mem
Der to become an organizer and assist in the work
Of bringing every available man or woman intoI
our Brotherhood.
There are no laws against organizing andI
there no longer exists fear OF punishment for bel
ing active in organizing the non-members.
What we have gained we must hold, and thlsl
can be done only through organization by theI
workers themselves

CRUSHING SUPERIORITY IN WEAPONS is
OBJECTIVE OF U. S. LABOR
(By William Green)

TO-DAY, more than 100000 members of the
American Federation of Labor are serving IL
the armed forces of the nation alongside of Other
boys from all walks of life
Today the million members of the American
Federation Of Labor, serving on the productlor
front here at home, are working harder than ever
before to give our fighting men the backing anc
support they need.
Today out of the vast flow of planes, ships
tanks, guns and ammunition, pouring in record
quantities from our industrial facilities to the
fighting fronts more than 85 per cent is made by
union labor.
Labor realizes that there is a long and hard
road ahead of us before Berlin and Tokyo fall
The invasion armies must be constantly re-aimed
and supplied. Our iob-the job of the soldiers OF
to see that they get all they need
and more than they need
BY providing the armed forces of the United
Nations with overwhelming superiority in the
weapons Of war we can make ultimate victory GER
tain and bring it nearer
From now on that will be the supreme obiec-
tive Of all American Workers-an objective that
must outweigh all other considerations All our
hopes and prayers for the safety of our loved
ones overseas and for victory in 1914 must be
translated into calm, steady unremtting hard
work

MORE FOOD FOR WHAT?

THE QUARTERMASTER General and other
high officials are calling for volunteers to help
gather the farm crops, which said to be larger
than in 1913, in order that our fighting men over
seas viii have plenty Of food.
1t is also necessary to gather and preserve this
tremendous amount Of food to help feed the re-
leased populations of the nations until recently
under domination OF the Nazis. 1t will be several
years before they are able to feed themselves from
their Wart0m soil.
There can be no doubt of the need for thou
sands of our citizens to volunteer to help get in
the crops There can't possibly be too much food
next year for the peoples Of the world; in fact, we
can use quite a bit right here at home, with or
without ration points.
There is one wee small matter, however, which
is worthy of the attention Of the experts, and that
is our ability TO take OF this huge crop after
it is harvested and gathered, Can it be stored
until consumed and delivered to the consumer in
usable condition?
We know of course that tremendous quantities
Of various kinds Of food have in the recent past,
after long periods of storage, been destroyed be-
cause of its condition.
II this tremendous farm crop is to be harvest
ed and stored only TO be destroyed later it might
better be allowed to dry up on the vine The Ques-
tion naturally arises, what have our food experts
learned from experience in the last three years

man William II. Davis of the War
Labor Board, in Il statement here,
praised hometown mediation boards,
established by local committees, to
settle labor disputes and said that the
WLB would lend every aid to making

pect to have governmental arbitration

after the war if they have not in the
meantime built up harmonious rela-
tionship which can replace wartime
controls imposed through the War

cent months
Boston and Cleveland were cited as
examples of cities where local boards

HALIFAX UNIONS PAY OFF
LABOR TEMPLE MORTGAGE

Halifax, n. S. ULNS).-The mort
gage on the Labor Temple, owned by
AFL unions and directed by the Dis
trict Trades and Labor Council, has
been lifted With considerable cere-
mony, the mortgage was burned in the
temple by the council.
The honor of lighting the paper was
given to Oliver Gray, an active mem
Der of The local of the Carpenters and
Joiners for 55 years Assisting in the
ceremony were George Smith, presi-
dent of the council, j. j. FultZ, vice
president of the council and f. j..
Rudge secretary treasurer of the La
Dor Temple Association.
The mortgage for 5000 was taken
out in 1882 In May, 1914, the council
decided TO launch a drive aiming at
paying off the mortgage in entirety
instead of in inStallmentS as had been
the policy. Each of the AFL locals
participated in the campaign. With
$4,000 necessary to wind up the pay
ment, there was an oversubscription Of
