chip in and purchase it?
The hundred dollars would be raised in short
order. The non-com obtained nights leave and
returned the following day with the radio. AS
soon as the soldiers saw their purchase they real
lied they had been taken. The machine was
worth no more than $25 However, there was
nothing to be done about it, so they made the
best of it. After all, they did have a radio.
Then the joker would be dealt. Orders would
come to move on. The sergeant, who was remaining
at the camp, would be asked to buy the radio for
a fraction of what it cost There was no need for
that, because he knew he could get it for nothing
Then the sergeant would secrete the radio until
the next inductees arrived. That radio has been
sold about 20 times.

|LATVIANS ACCUSE
RUSSIA OF VIOLATING
ATLANTIC CHARTER

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Inclu-
sion Of Latvia in the 16 Soviet repub-
lies was "fagrant violation of the
Atlantic Charter and international and
moral law" the Latvian Legation
charged in bulletin issued here.
Latvia will be so dominated by the
central organizations of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics that sit
could never dream either of seeding
from the U.S.S.R. or having it's own
independent foreign policy" the bulle-
tin declared.
Rule Improved in 1910
Creation of Latvian republic, the
statement asserted, was ga continue
ton of the violation of Latvia's inde-
pendence effected by the U.S.S.R., in
1910, when, by devious processes it
annexed Latvia and the other two CEN
trail Baltic States-Estonia and Lithu-
ania-and imposed on Latvia Aug. 80,
1910, Soviet constitution establish
ing proletarian dictatorship under
the guidance of the All-Union Com
munist party"
The statement said that "the kernel
of the U.S.S.A., the Russian Fedora
tion Social Republic, with poulation
of about 90,o00,000, possessing all the
heavy industries and holding full con-
troll over small constituent republic,
will always dominate such a republic
once it is grasped by the tentacles of
the big political octopus. We are sure
that the Latvians and also the other
progressive Baltic nations, having a
high material and intellectual culture,
never voluntarily accepted and never
will accept the enslavement provided
by this so-called constitution.
"The Latvians strongly believe that
the Atlantic Charter, to which also
the U.S.S.R. has subscribed several
times, will eventually also be respect
ed by that country"
Russian Atrocities Charged
THE Latvian people are willing to
reestablish good neighborly relations
also with the U.S.S.R., but only Oh
the basis of the treaty of 1920, pro-
vided that all deportees and arrested
Latvian citizens are at once released
and reparations are made for damages
done according to international law,
and that the Bolshevik agents who
committed atrocities in Latvia during
the Bolshevik occupation are punished
in the same way as the Nazi atrocity
criminals"

AFL HUMAN RIGHTS
DONATES FOR INDIA
FAMINE RELIEF

New York City.-An immediate re-
lief program for the people of India,
still suffering from the after-effects
of famine, has been set in motion by
American organized labor in coopera-
ton with the India Famine Relief So
ciety and the British War Relief So
ciety, according to an announcement
by Matthew Woll, president of the
Labor League for Human Rights, Of
fetal relief arm of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
A total of 100000, of which $780,
900 is a special ALLEGATION by organ
lied labor from it's contributions to
the National War Fund, has been ap-
propriated for the first four months
of 1914. Additional funds are to be
allocated later in the year to provide
for continuation Of the relief program
One-quarter of the fund has already
been spent for the purchase of evapo-
rated milk, which was shipped to In
dia during January. The balance OF
100000 is to be expended during
March and April to suit the needs OF
the Indian people and the availability
of supplies.
Administration of the relief FUND
has been undertaken by the American
Friends Service Committee, which will
not only supervise distribution of sup.
plies, but will also conduct surveys OF
further Indian needs that can be met
by American help.

League Inspects Lake Site

Despite heavy downpour of rain,
members of the Hamilton Chapter of
the Izaak Walton League today car
ried out their scheduled inspection of
a site southeast of Hamilton where
the State Department of Conservation
proposes to place an artificial lake.
William Kettler, who was in charge
of the inspection trip, reported that
the site appeared to be satisfactory,
although rain prevented complete
survey. He said the site is located
four miles from Hamilton.
The Conservation Department is
planning lake three miles long and
32 feet in depth. The lake is expected
to help in raising the water shed level
in this area and also would be avail
able for fishing and boating.

MAXIMUM CONSERVATION
OF ALL LUMBER URGED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Maxi-
mum conservation of all kinds of lum-
Der is being urged upon builders of
war housing by the Federal Housing
Administration.
The shortage of softwood and hard
wood lumber of all kinds, it is stated,
makes it imperative that everyone
concerned with the erection Of war
housing cooperate in the utmost pos
sible conservation Of lumber to aid
the prosecution of the war program.
Under procedures now in effect, con-
troll over lumber uses lies with the
builder, subject only to the limits i'm
posed by the War Production Board.
Additional conservational measures,
therefore, must seek the widest un-
derstanding and cooperation of the
builders.

being issued to the FILA field offices

Of Bolivian Tin Miners

New York City.-The Labor League

telegraphed to Bernardo Ibanez, head
of the Chilean Federation of Labor,
$4,000 for relief of the families of the
400 tin miners shot by Bolivian gov

ed out that "this astounding perform
ance exceeds anything of it's kind ever
achieved in the history of the world"
To figures on production cited
above, the committee added the hous-
ing and training facilities for 10 mil
lion men and the construction of air.
fields and bases all over the world.
The record was increased by the
construction of nearly 20 billion dol
lars worth of the 'best and most mod
ern plant facilities in the world"
These plants should not be present
ed as gift to their operators, the
committee held, but neither should
"prewar industry be protected against
competition of G vernm e n built
plants acquired at fair price"
"The question as to whether Gov
ernment-built plants are to be closed
must be decided squarely upon the is
sue as to whether it is proposed that
the United States return to peace
time economy similar to that which
existed in 1889, when nine million
workers were unemployed in addition
to upward of five million women and
other war workers who were not
seeking employment in 1889, or
whether we propose to provide full
employment for all who seek it by
operating pres plants whether
owned by the Government or private
ly, and if necessary, by encouraging
the construction of additional plant
facilities"

Workers Given Credit For "AweInspiring War Output
Many LayOffs Due To OverP Production of War
Materials; Many War Plant Closedowns
(wNU serviee)

Washington, D. C.-In the most
authoritative and impartial report on
the war production program yet pre-
sented, the Senate's Truman Commit
tee came out unreservedly against a
National Service Law to draft labor.
1.-The major battles of war pro-
duction have been won, largely
through the astounding perform
ance" of American labor.
Proposals for National Service
Act are far too drastic, unwieldly of
operation and ineffective as an anti
strike measure.
3.Government nd management
must take their share of responsibility
for strikes which have occurred. The
committee did not condone strikes but
declared Americas strike record COM
pares favorably with that of Great
Britain where compulsory National
Service legislation has been in effect.
4-The Government should adopt a
clear and understandable labor rela-
tions policy for the duration, written
into law and administered by single
central agency, instead of the multi
pie bureau now handling labor mat
ters.
These conclusions, fully endorsed
the official policy of the American
Federation of Labor, were buttressed
by an indisputable array of facts and
figures obtained by the Truman Com
mittee from Government sources.
In support of it's finding that the
major battles of war production have
been won, the committee cited these
production totals from January, 1941
to this year:
Delivery of 153,061 airplanes of all
types; TAG combat naval vessels; 1898
Liberty ships; TOP commercial ships;
1926 subsidiary naval vessels, most
ly landing craft; 1,567,94 military
trucks-all this besides equipping ten
million men with guns, tanks, cloth
ing, ammunition, etc.

AMERICAN LEGION
URGES REDUCTION
OF FOOD WASTACE

The American Legion has been
challenged by its own members to mo-
bilize the Legion's influence to reduce
food wastage, which is held to be a
much larger cause of time lost than
strikes.
In telegram to Warren Atherton,
national commander of the American
Legion, Irwin R. Kuenzli, legislative
chairman, National Conference OF
Union Labor Legionnaires and secre-
tary-treasurer of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Teachers, said:
National War Food Administrator
Marvin Jones has just issued an amaz-
ing report that at least twenty per
cent of food produced in the United
States is wasted and therefore two
hours out of every ten worked by agri-
cultural workers are lost.
"This means that more than six
hundred million man days are lost an
nually through wastage of food This
number is three hundred times the
man days lost by strikes in 1943.
"Food wastage therefore is equiva-
lent to having two million men on
strike during the entire year. Time
lost through food wastage in single
day is almost the same as time lost
by strikes in whole year.
Suggest therefore that American
Legion launch national campaign i'm
mediately to reduce this serious handi-
cap to the war effort. A reduction OF
food wastage by only one per cent
would save more than three times the
days lost through all strikes in 1943.'

Truman Report Repudiates
Proposals For Labor Draft
DROP In US. LABOR
TO LAYOFFS

Americas labor force suffered net
loss in December for the first time
since the war began, OWL stated in a
report listing layoffs, working condi-
tions and homesickness among the
reasons.
In an overall survey of labor turn
over, the OWL found that war work
ers were beginning to move out of
crowded industrial areas, particularly
on the West Coast and in the San
Francisco area, where the exodus was
found alarming"
Necessary production in this war,
Owl said, has been achieved with
considerably less labor turnover than
in 1913" Nevertheless, it said, turn
over still is a serious problem because
war plants should be increasing, not
decreasing, their working forces.
Lower "Quit Rate"
Besides dissatisfaction with work
ing conditions and homesickness, Owl
said, many workers have found that
high wages did not mean greatly in
creased net income. Others, it said
had saved little and wanted to &c
back home and buy "a place of their
own"
The OWL listed the net loss in the
working force for December as IL
workers per thousand (including lay
offs)-a total net loss for the nation
of about 10000 workers. For every
thousand workers, owl said, 43 quit
five entered the services, six were
fired, nine were laid off and 81 were
hired.
A significant feature of the report
was that layoffs rates were the highest
in December than they have been since
July, 1912, while the "quit rate" was
the lowest of any month of 1943.
Many workers in areas where there
were large numbers of layoffs quit in
anticipation of being laid off, Owl re-
ported. 1t cited Provo, Utah, where 90
out of every 100 workers left then
jobs in October, 76 of them laid off as
the result of the closing of an ord.
nance plant and the rest leaving in ex.
pectation of similar layoffs.
