nifcant point - Mr.. Shirer reported
that the Nazi propagandists were
quick to jump on the statements at
tributed to General Marshall and
tried to squeeze psychological benefit
out of these statements in their
broadcasts.
Here is a direct and factual chal-
leneg to the "high official source"
which must be answered
In fairness to the millions of patri-
otic American workers that "high Of
fetal source" should publicly identify
himself without delay.
In fairness to the millions of Amer
lean troops serving faithfully over
seas, the facts should be made known.
In fairness to the American people,
the truth should be brought out into
the open at once.
Labor fearlessly wei C m the
truth. 1t is proud of its war record. 1t
condemns any anonymous attempt to
besmirch that record.

THE QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP

Labor has come of age, qualified
observers have been saying lately. La
Dor has emerged from an enforced
parochialism, achieved new status
and responsibility in the community,
new importance locally, nationally
and even internationally in fields ira
ditionally considered GU S lie its
sphere of influence. These observers
talk of the AFL blueprint for post
war planning, of the vital part played
by labor in the war effort, of astonish-
ing production records, civilian war
related activities, of the two million
union members in the armed forces.
They talk of the results achieved by
AFL members in the campaigns for
war relief and relief on the home
front conducted by the Labor League
for Human Rights. They talk of
"how" what they generally neg
lect to mention is why"
Labor's new status in the commun-
ity is not an accident 1t is the grad
ual recognition, by groups outside the
trade union movement, that here is
an organized force that can be de
pended upon for far-sighted and cor
rect prediction, for broadness of out
look and for steadfast action. The
AFL warned against the dangers of
Fascism and Nazism as long ago as

FRIDAY, JANUARY IA, 1914
PEOPLE CAN'T BE SUBDUED

During and after the last World
War some of our industrial tycoons
and army officers made plans to put
labor in its place" This plan was dis
cussed even in our camps in France
while our doughboys were trying to
push the heinies back across the line
The 1917 so-called american plan
was dismal failure, chiefly perhaps
because the reason it's supporters
wanted to subdue organized labor was
to provide themselves with an oppor-
tunity to collect unlimited profits from
American consumers. They wanted to
promote themselves at the expense of
the little people of this country.
There is little doubt that the same
big shots hope to attain the same goal
before this war is finished. They want
labor in a position where working
men and women can be told where to
get off, and they want laws enforced
by the federal government which will
assure labor of minor role in the in
dustrial world. Present unlimited
profits with wages practically frozen
supports this belief
What our would-be Fascists forget
is that the American people cannot be
subdued. They cannot be conquered
by any sort of dictator, whether he
be alien OF domestic Even tempo
rary' victory will lead only to later
grief, because, like Churchill's Britain,
union labor fights hardest with its
back to the wall.

the flood of inflammatory statements
that followed over the air.
But these emotions were aggravat-
ed ten-fold when within twenty-four
hours newspapers not invited to the
secret conference exposed the fact
that the statements were made by
Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of
Staff of the U. S. Army.
Labor's relations with Gen. Mar
shall had always been of the finest.
He was consistently appreciative of
the contributions made by American
workers to the success of the war eff
fort. He had never intimated directly
or indirectly before that he was in
the slightest degree disturbed by the
labor situation. On the contrary, the
War Department had repeatedly as
sured the leaders of the American
Federation of Labor that it was
highly satisfied with production re-
suits.
Naturally, we hastened to investi-
gate the facts. We were informed that
the "high official source" had never
made the statements attributed to him
in some newspapers, notably the
Washington Post. He did not say that
labor had delayed the war effort or
that it had cost hundreds of thousands
of American lives. What he did say,
apparently, was that if Hitler were
successful in propagandizing internal
strife in America, it might result in
stiffening resistance against the Unit
ed Nations among the satellite coun-
tries and therefore might delay the
war and cost lives.
Even with these amendments, the
statement was open to question. Mere
assertion is not equivalent to proof
Apparently others felt the same way
we did. Investigations were instituted
by the newspaper PM and by William
Shirer, radio analyst who has come te
be regarded as an expert on Nazi
propaganda methods.
The Facts Exposed
PM was told by the Office of Wal
Information that the Nazis had NOT
attempted to exploit the rail and stee
wage disputes in their propaganda
broadcasts. The Nazis, in fact, hac
scarcely even mentioned the subject
Apparently Hitler realized he coulc
not sell even his duped subjects on the
idea that the home front in America
was weakening when they were daily
feeling the heavy blows delivered by
American planes, made in record
breaking quantities by A M er C a +
workers.
Mr.. Shirer discovered that of 2,37l
Nazi broadcasts between Dec. 26 anc
Jan. 2 only SO referred to the wage
disputes and of these only four eman.
ated from Hitler's propaganda ma.
chine in Germany.
However-and this is highly sig

which does not catch fire even when

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

On New Years Eve, secret word
was telephoned to select group of
newspaper executives, columnists and
radio commentators to appear at a
certain office at certain hour for an
important news conference.
At this conference, an individual
who refused to let himself be identi-
fled except as "high official source
made some blistering statements
about the railroad and steel industry
wage disputes.
Needless to say, we were not invited
to this conference. Nor was anyone
else who had the remotest connection
with, or sympathetic interest in, the
affairs of organized labor.
In fact, the first we or any other
labor representative knew of the Sc
cret affair was when our eyes were
assaulted by hysterical anti-labor
blasts in the morning papers on New
Years Day.
Labor was charged fatty in these
stories with delaying victory in the
war, with costing hundreds of thou
sands of American lives, with having
committed the "damnedest crime
against America"
These charges were not made in
open court. Labor was given no notice
1t was afforded no opportunity to re.
ply. The charges were made in secret
in the best Hitler tradition.
Anonymity Disappears
Shock and surprise are mild terms
to describe labor's immediate reaction
to these stories in the press and tc

Pearl Harbor The AFL is calling

1t is because the American FEEDER
alton of Labor has presented, and con-
tinues to present, consistent and
democratic program in which all
classes and all peoples are considered,
that the AFL deserves the leadership
which it has lately assumed, and the
credit and recognition which have
lately been given it.

LABOR TO GIVE FULL SUPPORT
Infantile Paralysis is still with US,
and, as usual, the entire country will
join in contributing to help alleviate
the suffering of victims of this dread
disease which makes no distinction in
it's unrelenting attack on humanity.
The Presidents Birthday Balls will
be held in all cities of the nation, and
organized labor, as in the past, will
lend its full support. Millions of dol
lars will be made available to relieve
to some extent the pain of compara-
lively few.

can Medical Association, the doctors.
physicians, surgeons-claim that only
they can treat our people who are i'll,
but up to now they have little cause
to boast of progress against this par
ticular disease. 1t continues to ravage
young and old, with no cure in sight
and only relief possible.
Organized labor, however, is glad of
the opportunity to help provide funds
to combat this enemy of mankind,
and this year, as in the past, will gen
erously add it's mite to the fund which
provides relief to afflicted brothers.
The campaign starts Jan. IL, but

can give. Poliomyelitis has no respect

tion will help to relieve some one,

japanese beetles adults have al

of the Department of Entomology

account of the effect of the milky
