Tells AFL Workers Army Needs Increased
Supplies To Make Victory Certain

Washington, d. c. A. F. of l..
President William Green appealed to
all unions and members of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor to boost pro-
duction of vital war materials needed
by the armed forces.
He revealed that Irresponsible rep
resentatives" of the Army and Navy
had stressed, in conversations with
him, the need for increased output of
heavy artillery, ammunition, heavy
guns, bombs, radar equipment, tanks,
construction equipment, tires, tentage
fabric and penicillin.
In circular letter to all affiliates,
Mr.. Green declared:
"We cannot and must not fail to
supply our troops, fighting SO glori
ously, with all the materials and sup
plies they need in order to clinch the
victory which now seems near at
hand
''The daily reports we receive from
the fighting fronts show that the
Nazis and Japs are being driven back,
defeated and demoralized. We are
pleased beyond measure over the sue
cess of our armed forces but the final
blow must be delivered. Our enemies
must be crushed. They must be de-
feated decisively.
GAS our armed forces fight in order
to reach this objective, the soldiers of
production must produce, without fail
or let-up, the war materials and war
supplies the army needs right now in
this crucial period. Our workers can
produce more war materials and sup
plies if they are needed. They have re-
peatedly, over and over again, shown
their ability to do so.
''In my opinion all that is needed in
order to increase production is to ac-
quaint the workers with the vital
needs of the army and navy. So in
response to the appeal Of the repre-
sentatives of the army, navy and the
government for increased production
of vital war materials, we call upon
all members of the army of produc-
tion to draw upon their own personal
reserves, reserves in skill, the capac-
| ity to produce war materials and war
supplies in increasing volume.
"Let the workers of America make
brighter the glorious record they have
made by demonstrating to the world
/ their ability to produce war materials
in increasing volume in this period in
the progress of the war when vital
and decisive blow is being inflicted
upon our enemies"

McNutt Urges Final Push to Win War

go into effect step by step.
In the meantime the changing war
continues. The War Manpower Com
mission has tried to meet the changes
as they have arisen.
On this Labor Day, we still have
critical areas and critical industries.
A war Of breakthrough and invasion
burns up mountains of war goods.
These goods must be replaced. Let
me cite two examples. The total size
of the munitions program is due to
increase 13 percent in the next few
months. Able-bodied workers are
needed to make heavy tires for the
trucks that will carry our munitions
and supplies deep into the enemy's
territory.
| could cite many more examples,
familiar to the representatives of Ia
Dor who sit on the general committee
that shapes basic manpower strategy
in Washington These labor men are
like officers in the armed forces; they
speak for the millions of individual
workers in the army of war poduc-
ton.
Let us fulfill all the needs of the
invading forces and end this war as
soon as we can.
Labor Day, 1945, may well see a
world at peace. The strength, the in
telligence, the loyalty of American
labor which has smashed production
records in wartime will in peacetime,
l am sure, also solve the next problem
on labor's agenda and democracy's
agenda: Jobs for all Americans, for
war workers, for soldiers, for women,
for the handicapped, for the minority
groups, for all Americans who want
jobs.

M'NAIR PRAISED WORKERS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-One
of the last statements by Lieut. Gen.
McNair before his death on the Nor
mandy beachhead was in praise of
the men and women who are produc-
ing war materials.
He said: "The CUTS, toughness and
will to victory of the American SOL
der, accompanied by the equipment
of the American worker, are more
than staggering; they are unbeat-
able"

VETS OF F. WARS
SEE FRIENDLIER
ATTITUDE TO LABOR

Washington, D. C.-Increasing evil
dence of friendliness and desire for
cooperation with organized labor is
being manifested by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, following the drafting
of an agreement between that organ
ization and the labor movement on
policies to help servicemen find jobs
during the postwar period.
First, Commander-in- Chief Carl j.
Schoeninger, of the VIEW, invited
AFL President William Green to ad-
dress the 45th National Encampment
of the VFW in Chicago on Aug. %,
an invitation which was readily ac-
cepted.
In addition, publications of the
VFW are taking up the cudgels for
organized labor and defending them
against anti-union propagandists who
seek to smear labor's war record. The
Wisconsin Veteran, organ for the
VFW in the Badger state, sharply
refuted charges that American work
ers have let the soldiers down. 1t
said:
"There is no group of citizens in
the United States more determined to
bring about the crushing Of fascism
nazi-ism and the tyrannical govern
ment of Japan than labor.
"Union labor gave up for the dura-
tion it's greatest economic weapon
the strickland has kept it's no-srrike
pledge better than 991a per cent.
Labor has sent it's members anc
it's kin into the armed forces to mar
the front lines. Labor has smashed
every known record in worlds history
on the production front. More thar
| 85 per cent of all the ornaments usec
by our army are made by union la.
bor."
The article also cited the support
given by labor to the Community Wan
Chests, war bond drives, Red Cross
"blood banks" and many other wal
activities.
"In other ways, too, organized labor
has supported the service men," the
publication declared. "It stood four
square for a complete and simple
manner of giving those in the armed
services the ballot this fall.
s'It has backed every effort to holt
down prices and prevent imitation. /
has strenuously fought for rea
G. L. bill. It has pushed a strong
postwar program which would NEAR
job for every service man on hi
return"

MANY AGED, NEEDY
FIND WORK
in PENNSYLVANIA

Harrisburg, Pa. ILNS).-m three
months, the number of old-age assis-
tance cases closed because of earnings
from employment of the aged recipi-
ents has doubled.
During May, June and July, more
than 600 Pennsylvanians aged IS and
over who had been dependent on state
aid, secured jobs and again became
self-dependent, as compared with
about half this number in the three
preceding months.
Furthermore, the employment of
old-age assistance recipients not in
frequently has resulted in the closing
of general assistance or aid to de-
pendent children cases because the
earnings of the aged person have
proved sufficient for the support of
the wife, children, or grandchildren
who had been dependent on other
types Of aid.
Currently, $4,000 persons are re-
celvlng old-age assistance, a decrease
of nearly 5000 from the $4,000 on the
rolls year ago. All old-age assistance
recipients are over 65 years of age
and the majority are more than 70.
Because of age alone, and without the
complicating factors of illness and
disablement, NOSE of these persons
would ordinarily be considered unem-
playable.

Chairman War Manpower Commission
Labor Day, 1914, is another day Of
war production for American labor.
Fascism has been hit hard but still
endures. The target still confronts
us, call it what you want. The Ger
man fortress Of Europe, or the Jap
anese co-prosperity empire or the
fascist plot that had hoped among it's
many objectives to enslave labor and
destroy labor's unions.
At this target American labor has
already hurled American production.
The Nazis in Normandy were hit by
two solid years of record breaking
production. England was changed
into an American warehouse full OF
anti-aircraft guns, howitzers, half
tracks. Fleets of LCI's and LISTS
Qanding craft, infantry; and landing
ships, tank) were built by American
union workers who had pledged them
selves to build bridge OF landing
craft from England to the enemy
beaches. The pledge was kept. The
pledges of the aircraft, ordnance and
communications workers were kept
and D-Day was made possible.
Here at home, it is only natural
for war workers to think of peace
and peacetime jobs. 1t is natural for
war workers to be asking, What will
l do when the wars over?" Amer
lean soldiers are asking the same
question.
The problems of reconversion are
serious. A gradual orderly resump-
ton of civilian production, accelerat-
ing as the war ends in Europe-where
most observers believe it will end first
has already been planned and will

AFL LAUNCHES DRIVE
TO GET OUT VOTE
OF ITS MEMBERS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
American Federation of Labor has
launched nationwide drive to get
out the vote of it's z million members
in the November election in support
of candidates whose records show
them to be friendly to organized la
Dor.
Announcing the campaign, Presi-
dent William Green stressed the non
partisan political policy of the fed
GRAFTON and declared:
eve cannot afford to tie up with
a political party or to become identi-
fled with political party"
Committees To Be Set Up
In launching the drive, President
Green ordered the establishment OF
almost thousand state and local non
partisan political committees in every
part of the country to see to it that

they GO to the polls to cast theil
ballots on election day.
Each of the 900 city central labor
unions affiliated with the AFL anc
the state federations of labor in every
state, as we'll as in Alaska and Puerto
Rico, were directed by Green to sci
up committees to get out the vote.
"These committees" Green said ir
a circular letter of instructions, "car
render great service to labor and tt
the nation. If labor participates fully
in the election, labor and the friends
of labor can win.
Political Policy Stressed

"Reject any and all appeals to be

not afford to tie up with any politica

political party.
Experience has shown that the in
terests of labor are promoted by sup

records show them to be sympatheti

those who are known to be agains

Washington, D. C.dILNS).-A way
to detect slow leaks in tires, so as
to minimize the possibility of "fiats"
along the highways, is outlined in a
pamphlet issued by ODT. Called the

test calls for check on the air pres

pressure in one tire is markedly
lower than the others, slow leak can
be suspected.

Fire Chief Corn Reed Said Tues

Electricity, the department head
cited as a major cause of fire and
recommended that blown fuses be

and never be bridged with metal,
Expert electricians, he said, should
be called for all installations, extern
sions and repairs.
"Householders," Reed declared,
should avoid hanging electric wires
on nails CT running them under
rugs"
The fall of the year is conducive
to fires, the chief continued, because
of the nece tsity for lighting heaters
