reveals the unbelievable inability
of powerful brass hats to COM
prehend the true nature of this
war.
The heat and the fury of this
controversy stems from a con-
flict of war aims. The anti-labor
plutocrats, politicians and pub
fishers merely want to speed up
the job of killing enough Ger
mans and Japs to successfully
conclude the military phase of
the war.

To begin at the beginning, this is labor paper
which is primarily interested in all that effects
labor Of course, there doubt are few
members of the union who gamble. As matter
of fact we know of several poker games which
took place last Saturday night in private homes
where, five, 10 and 25 cents were wagered.
Seventeen kids ranging from II to II years of
age rolling the bones over on Elm st.
with % cents lying on the sidewalk and two high
school girls were overheard on Cherry car
wagering a "chaklate" soda on whether or not
they could pick up an aviation cadet at the

DESTROY FASCISM

Organized labor, one the other
hand, is determined to wage a
war effort, political as well as
military, which will destroy
Fascism, both abroad and at
home.
1t is this conflict, which
amounts to kind of civil war
on the home front, that has
given rise to labor disputes, in
flation and other domestic
troubles.
Unlike labor, the reactionary
leaders of, and spokesman for,
American big business are not
committed to the total destruc-
tion of Fascism. If they were to
endorse a total war against
Fascism, and implement such an
endorsement with action, they
would have to call their dogs off
the throat of American labor.
In short, big business wants
to kill Axis troops and labor
unions with or stone-while la
Dor wants to kill Axis troops
and Fascism with one stone.
DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS
The wage fight simply reflects
labor's determination to MAIN
tain it's democratic rights.
If profits had been properly
restricted; if the cost of living
had been held down; if the foes
of labor had not launched their
double-barrelled attack on labor
in Congress and in the press;
and if the unions had been
granted full participation in the
councils of war, this fight would
not have developed.
But, no-the hatchet men of
Wall Street, aided by their po-
litical and editorial stooges, have
worked in the opposite direction.
They were out to get labor
and no holds barred.
And now they squeal to high
heaven because labor fights
back; because the unions stand
firm and insist that free trade
uionism is basic to the democ-
racy for which we are fighting.
COCKEYED REASONING
The reasoning behind the
charge that labor's firm stand
feeds the Nazi propaganda mill
is absolutely cockeyed.
Nothing would make Hitler
happier than to see the Ameri-
can unions smashed and scat
tered. He knows that-so long
as the unions here are strong
and militant-his hopes for a
negotiated peace are in vain.
He knows thai it is organized
labor which put starch in the
backbone of tn United Nations;
that the unions identify Fas-
cism, not Japs and Germans as
such, as the enemy.
In the words of a friend of
ours, 1--WE ought to be proud to
let the workers of Europe know
that even the President of the
United States can't make a
miner dig coal if he doesn't want
to-"
This is proof that the freedom
for which we fight is a living
thing, and not just words in the
mouth of politicians.
