their peace time operations, many
new firms will come into existence,
new products will be produced by
firms not now in existence.
"There will be a most far-reaching
change in employment, and in the
places where this employment exist
ed there will be dislocation of To-
cal trade union organizations. Some
unions organized in war production
industries may pass out Of existence
with the end of the war; they will
unless the plant where they are en-
ployed can produce new product
for peace time consumption.
"All of this means a far-reaching
organization problem. If we meet
these problems as a federation of
metal trades as we have in the past,
there can be no question as to our
continued successful progress; yet
this problem is perhaps as vital a
one as any convention of your De-
partment has faced at any time in
the past. 1t should receive the most
careful consideration by this conven-
tion."
Mr.. Frey devoted large portion of
his annual report to the Metal Trades
Convention to a review of legislation
considered by Congress. He extended
a great deal of the credit for the legis-
lative victories which were won by
labor to the efforts of William C.
flushing, chairman of the AFL's Leg
islative Committee.
At the conclusion of the Metal
Trades conclave, the conventions of

job they have performed since the De-
ginning of the war. He assured the
conference that VISA was not un-
mindful Of it's responsibility to the
men in the merchant marine, and that
all possible would be done to main
tain their present status.
VISA pointed out that nearly 5000
active merchant seamen are leaving
the industry each month, and that
manpower controls had to be frightened
to retain the men. War Manpower
Commissioner Paul McNutt assured
the conference that VINO would dc
all possible to recruit seamen.
Major General Lewis B. Hershey,
Selective Service director, said that
Selective Service had gone as far as
possible in deferring seamen. "Only
active merchant seamen and limit
ed number of young men under 26 do
ing special jobs in vital war industries
are now deferred from active military
service" he pointed out. Those over
26 who enter essential industry re-
ceive more liberal consideration for
deferment," he said.
Full discussion was had of the pos
sibility of lifting seamen's and Of
ficers' certificates and licenses if they
refuse to sail during wartime, and
the payment of standby wages during
an active seaman's allowable shore
leave in order to induce him to stay
in the industry. Unions and the ope.
rator associations representatives
agreed to give study to these two pro-
posals.
Earlier in the meeting, Maritime
Commission Chairman Vice Admiral
Emory S. Land forecast the full-scale
operation of the present merchant
fleet for at least 81 years after ces-
sation of hostilities due to the de-
mands for supplies, rehabilitation
work and the movement of troops in
many parts of the world.

blasted and useless. Millions render

Because these horrors have not

this Thanksgiving. These are only
some of the catastrophies experienced
by most of the people on the worlds

Our advancing soldiers, seeing the
unbelievable destruction of homes and
family life, will be thanking God that
their American homes and families
are safe. Thanksgiving 1914, probably
the last one to be celebrated during
the European war, will more than
ever bring to our soldiers on the
battlefronts the reality of what they
are fighting for.
Sound home life, clean living, fair
play, and faith in Gods protection
and guidance-these moral qualities
were the steel girders in the social
structure which the early fathers al
that first Thanksgiving set out tc
pioneer. 1t is these same qualities, sc
essential to the life of democracy
that are being swept aside and de.
stroyed in the madness of modern

Democracy without moral standards
is like an empty shell, and therefore
easily out thought on the theological
battle-ground. AS thoughtful leaders
look out on world where powerful
and ruthless ideologies are battling
for control, they wonder how Ameri.

answer to the ideas of super-race anc
super-class. Moral Re-Armament re-
stores moral standards and creates
the qualities that strengthen democ.

FREY HITS FEDERAL
AGENCY MUDDLES

New Orleans.-Demands for con-
solidation and simplification of the
Governments agencies and regula-
tions dealing with labor were sounded
by President John p Frey as the 36th
annual convention of the AFL Metal
Trades Department got under way
here.
During the year." Mr.. Frey told
the delegates from the metal trades
unions, "there has been growing
feeling of dissatisfaction over the de-
lay, the long drawn out delay in many
instances, in securing hearings and
decisions from these Federal agencies
to whom labor was forced to appeal.
"There was also the thought that
advantage was being taken of labor's
no-strike pledge, for it seemed at
times rebellious workmen received
more prompt action on the cases they
had filed"
Mr.. Frey reported that the unions
affiliated with the department OBJ
served the no-strike pledge practically
100 per cent during the past year. He
said that in the few instances where
work stoppages occurred, these were
precipitated not by labor's demands
for pay increases but by labor's re-
sistance against wage reductions
forced upon them by Federal agencies
reductions at a time when an in
crease in wages should have been the
order of the day."
The fact there was less CIO raid
ing than usual last year was attrib-
uted by Mr.. Frey to the action of Con-
gress in limiting the discretionary au-
thority of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board to intervene in plants
where trade union contracts have been
in force for three months or more.
Mr.. Frey continued:
"The Governments policy in en-
deavoring to stabilize conditions in
industry, and in the cost of living,
met with general trade union ap-
prevail Unfortunately, too many Fed
eral agencies became active in this
field, and stabilization was frequently
| unstabilized. In the matter of wage
rates through the establishment of
sound and tested wage rates, and of
| wage brackets, wages for other than
! the skilled craftsmen were definitely
set, and there is reason to believe
that the result of the experts and sta
| tisticans who worked out these rates
were not more accurate than the cost
of living statistics issued by the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, Department
of Labor.
"We are now facing changing con-
ditions as far reaching as those which
| placed us from peace time into war
time conditions. For three years our
| basic industries have been devoted
almost wholly to the production Of
war material. Many millions have
been employed in these industries

employed in the shipyards, the air.

The latest-and perhaps the most
potent-opposition comes from admin
istrators of the present law in the
various states. They also have or
ganized a lobby against the bill. They
see, or pretend to see, in the federal
ization provision of the bill, the pos
sibility of loss of some of their pres
tige. And SO they want none of it.
These state administrators are now
holding jobs created by the operation
Of the present social security law
which was instigated, conceived, and
enacted largely through the efforts
of organized labor. They owe their
present jobs and their livelihood tc
the insistence of organized labor that
security to some extent be provided
by federal law. They themselves, like
unfortunate workers, are beneficiaries
of the law.
But now, having received the bene
fits of the social security law, they
are attempting to dictate to the max
ers of the law just how it shall ope
rate. They favor the well-known sta.
tus quo; they want no change; they
now tell their benefactors how il
shall be done.
1t is up to organized labor to dt
something about this. The Wagner
Murray -Dingell bill was conceived ane
written after experience with the pres.
ent law. All workers everywhere have
the right to receive benefits of fed
eral law, regardless of the ability Of
their particular state to administer it
Social security is bigger than or
ganized labor; it is bigger than the
medical association; it is bigger thar

tering it. But labor must wake up
because the tail is commencing tt

HUNTING SEASON OPENS,
BUT GAME REPORTED
SCARCE

The annual squirrel season OPP
ened Friday morning with many
hunters in the woods. Some re-
port killing two or three each,
while others did not find any.
There are practically no hickory
nuts this year and squirrels are
found only about the few beech
trees that have nuts or on the
ground running. So even the
most experienced hunters find it
difficult to get a shot at them.
On account of lack of food it is
believed that they are migrating
elsewhere.

Mad Dog Scare
Hits County
This Week

Mad dog epidemics, real and
supposed, are disturbing various
communities in this county.
A mad dog came down Cranes
Nest, along the Clintwood- Coe-
burn highway, several days ago
and bit a cow belonging to Trigg
Dotson and engaged in short com
bats with two or three dogs. The
COW "went mad" soon after and
had to be killed, as did dog be
longing to Maco Keith.
A supposed mad dog came
down Mcclure River road last
Sunday, swapping at everything
it came in contact with, includ-
ing several dogs and possibly cat
tie. The owners of the dogs that
came in contact with the rabid
dog are generally keeping their
dogs confined without a quaran-
tine being passed.
Lum Mullins dog at Freezing
was adjudged rabid when it left
home and went into an adjacent
neighborhood frothing at the
mouth and was killed by an al
ert citizen. Soon after that a
small dog belonging to Lum's
daughter, who lives nearby,
went into a violent fit and was
killed.
Dogs that were not rabid in
vaded Adam Childress' field
few days ago and killed II of
his sheep. According to report,
he recognized one of the dogs
as belonging to neighbor, but
that he made no effort to kill
the dogs. Now the neighbor who
owns the dog he thought he rec
ognized says that particular dog
was at home over a mile away,
at that time.

HOME, WITH ALL FIXTURES
DESTROYED BY FIRE ON
CAMP CREEK

The residence of Elder Alex
Tompkins on Camp Creek with
practically all contents, burned
late last week, entailing loss of
two or three thousand dollars.
Elder Tompkins was away at
work and Mrs. Tompkins was
busy preparing the evening meal
and she sent a small boy they
are raising to the upper rooms
for something, and it developed
later that he found a box of
matches and striking one care
lessly or child-like, dropped it
where a blaze soon started burn
ing some light article of clothing
and from which the fire spread
and the whole upper part was
soon in flames.
Several hundred cans of food
stuff put up by the family was
destroyed, along with large
flock of chickens that were pen
ned in the yard.
The good elder says that he
had put in seven years of labor
building and fitting his home and
that instead of giving up he in
tends to set about building again.
