ORGANIZED LABOR IS
BEHIND RED CROSS

This month the Red Cross comes to
the American people for the funds
needed to carry out its 1914 program.
The variety and Importance of the
tasks it performs can be best illus
trated by its record of achievement
for 1913. Here are a few of it's out
standing services:
Last year the Red Cross produced
925, 100000 surgical dressings; col
lected 100000 pints of blood for
plama to save the lives of the found
ed; gave personal aid to 100000
service men and their families; packed
100000 food parcels for our boys
who are prisoners of war; made g.
100000 kit bags for the armed forces;
enrolled 27,600 nurses for Army and
Navy services, and trained $4,000
nurses for variety of other duties
service in army hospitals
This is only a partial record of a
tremendous achievement for civilian
organization depending upon volun-
tary contributions and volunteer la
Dor. And it is an achievement to which
organized labor has contributed in no
small measure.
Mr.. Norman Davis, national chair
man of the Red Cross, in letter to
Matthew Woll, president of the Labor
League for Human Rights, AFL,
stated after the Red Cross campaign
of last year that without the active
help of organized workers, the cam
paign could never have topped it's goal
of $125, 100000.
But organized labor gives more than
money to the Red Cross. All over the
country, it's members and auxiliaries
are giving generously of their time
and energy to Red Cross services, and
recruiting donors for the Red Cross
blood bank.
In it's current campaign the Red
Cross is asking the American people
for $200,000,000 to carry on it's hu-
manitarian work - so per cent more
than in 1913, but no more than is de-
manded to meet the constantly in
creasing human need created by a
continuing and expanding global war.
Through the Labor League for HUI
man Rights, the AFL is modified to
help the Red Cross top this goal as it
helped top last years. Organized la
Dor knows what the Red Cross means
to the men in our armed forces, and
to the families they have left behind
1t will never let them down.

Production Areas Given
New Recreation Centers

Washington, D. C.-To help war
workers stay on the job at top eff
cheney and to reduce turnover and alb
senteeism, more than TAO new COM
munity recreation centers have been
opened in 225 critical production
areas, the Office of War Information
announced It's report said.
Peak war production schedules
have increased the need for recreation
programs in crowded war centers. The
Division of Recreation of the U. S.
Office of Community War Services,
Federal Security Agency, is helping
to get programs under way in places
where lack of adequate recreation has
been one of the serious hindrances to
full production. Other Government
agencies concerned in varied aspects
of community recreation programs
are the War Manpower Commission,
the Federal Public Housing Author
ity, the Federal Works Agency and
the Government Division, War Pro-
duction Drive Headquarters of the
War Production Board"

PROPAGANDA FROM HOME

Our boys in the armed forces are
concerned about things here at home
if we are to believe our daily news
papers, and they don't like so many
strikes. Labor here displeases them
by trying to maintain good wages and
working conditions, again if we be-
lieve what we read in the daily papers
A Washington boy, a veteran Of
Bougainville, Guadalcanal, and Rus
sell Island, is home on furlough, and
a local paper printed very interest
ing interview by this Marine veteran
He says the boys want to vote, and
from the stories they read they could
believe that "half the country is on
strike, with no food, no gas, no moth
ing" And he adds:
From what we had heard over
there you'd think the administration
had ruined the country. But we know
better than to believe all those garbled
stories about how the country is being
run to the dogs"
So, it appears from the views OF
this soldier, that, while the propagan-
da of the anti-labor, anti Roosevelt
experts make big splash in the daily
papers here at home, the boys on the
fighting fronts take it with severa
grains of salt.
However, our big, powerful corpora
tions have plenty of money to spend
and the propaganda boys are trying
to earn their salaries by writing wha
they think the bosses want them t,
write.

Airport Being Considered

Middletown, Ohio. City officials
Monday said they might meet with a
committee from Hamilton to discuss
the possibility of an airport midway
between the two cities, but added that
at the present time they were against
this arrangement which was proposed
by the TWA last fall and endorsed
Saturday by the state Bureau of Aero
nautics.
Hamilton officials said they "look
favorably' toward the plan but Rus
sell Price, City Manager, reported the
decision to locate the new Cincinnati
fairport in Sharon Woods near Hamil.
ton might make that accessible and
alter the Hamilton viewpoint.

FRIDAY, MARCH II, 1914
LOOSE TALK

An army officer, engaged in intelli-
gence work, declares that ''loose talk
by civilians in Seattle last August
tipped the Japanese to the intention
of our forces to attack Kiska and
even gave them the date.
AS a result, he says, the Japs were
able to get their men off the island,
and when our forces arrived there was
none to capture.
This is, to say the least, a remark
able statement and one which the in
telligent intelligence official had given
little thought. He has perhaps not
been trained to think before he
speaks.
If civilian in Seattle knew about the
proposed attack on Kiska and talked
about it and the Japs heard about it,
what prevented our own sSfficials from
hearing about it. Why did they, then,
not know that the Japs knew they
were coming on that date. And if they
did know this, why could they not
change the date or change their
plans?
And if Seattle civilians by gossiping
about the proposed raid tipped off the
Japs last August, why did it require
six months for our intelligence off
cials to learn about it?
Seems to us like another case of
too little too late You can figure too
little what.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

ORGANIZED LABOR, so far, has
~ weathered several vicious at
tacks by it's enemies, the worst of
them having been proven outright
lies, initiated by anonymous authors
and propagated by unfriendly news
papers. Even now hundreds of small
newspapers are still printing absolute
falsehoods about union, labor's part in
the war effort.
All this could be counteracted by a
national labor daily newspaper which
would reached every member of or
ganized labor and be handed around
to citizens not affiliated and talked
about by our brothers. A national
daily could entirely offset the constant
minute-by-minute propaganda of anti
labor daily papers and the radio.
A national labor daily paper, how
ever, is probably far in the future. 1t
is one of those things which just
doesn't seem possible just now. Insur-
mountable obstacles Immediately ap-
pear which effectively block justice as
far as labor is concerned.
However, it does appear possible
that organized labor could do couple
of things to protect the interests of
working men and women. 1t would
be comparatively inexpensive to set
up in Washington a publicity bureau
to function in getting the voices of
liberal members of Congress to their
constituents and to the public.
A small sum of money which could
be easily spared from the treasures
of some of the larger unions would
suffice to maintain a research bureau
to equip labor and liberal spokesmen
in Congress and state legislatures
with facts and figures with which to
demolish specious arguments and ex-
pose phony statistics of reactionary
representatives of big business de-
signed to hoodwink and mislead the
public.

New Ideas Save S6,SO9,343

1943, when the program went into

676 were adopted. Cash paid as

MILLION FEWER INJURIES
IN WAR INDUSTRIES URGED

Washington, D. ca million fewer
injuries in 1944-that is the goal set
by Secretary of Labor Frances Perk-
ins at meeting of the Labor Depart
ment's National Committee for the
Conservation of Manpower in War In
dustries. Achievement of the goal
would mean a 40 per cent reduction of
injuries from the 1943 total of nearly
100000 injuries.
The reduction would result in saw
ing about % million days of work,
Miss Perkins said. In manufacturing
alone it would increase the number of
workers on the job by $4,000 each day.

One Days Pay For Red Cross

A suggestion that Hamilton resi-

to the Red Cross was given publicity
as solicitors continued their canvass

Lucien Kahn, chairman, stressed that
donations must be larger than in
former years in order to meet the
goal. He appealed for additional con-
tributions after reports disclosed only
$49,500 had been raised here to date.

up to the boys and girls of every
community to harvest all milkweed
pods in their neighborhood so that
not single life will be lost for lack
of buoyant life jackets.
Buying of pods will be handled at
Petoskey, Mich, by the Milkweed
Floss division of War Hemp Indus
tries, Inc, a private corporation.
The Commodity Credit corporation
of the U. S. department of agricul-
ture assisted by the U. S. soil
conservation service will direct the
program. The Petoskey office will
send trucks out to pick up bags of
pods in other sections.
At least 800 pods must be COL
lected to supply one pound of floss.
Fifty-pound open mesh onion bags
were supplied pickers during last
years harvest, each bag holding a
bushel or from 600 to 800 pods and
the open mesh permitting rapid dry

authorized would be allowed a
small fee per bag for keeping the
necessary records. For this drying
service last year an additional S
cents per bag was paid besides the
Is cents for picking. The same rates
will probably prevail this fall.
After the pods are picked, they
must be handled properly in order
to make the highest quality of floss.

some other convenient and ade-
quate location may be chosen. Some
one must be on duty to check out

evening and Saturday during the COL
lection season. Also, it is neces-
sary to rehang any bags which fall
