the Distinguished Unit badge re-
Gently when unit citation stream
ers were presented to his outfit
by Major General Willis D. Crit

Morgan is member Of the 894tn

''The individual bravery, keen
judgment and skill of the members
Of Company B." the citation said,
prevented heavy losses to friend
1y troops, who were forced to with
draw and resulted in driving back
the enemy with extremely heavy
losses. Their actions provided suf-
ficient time for the reorganization
Of Infantry positions and the
beachhead defenses. At no time
did Company B displace to the
rear until all of the Infantry had
withdrawn completely. The cool
esprit de corps displayed by the
men of Company B was an inspi-
ration to all troops in the vicinity
and reflects the highest traditions
of the armed forces Of the United
States"
Company B also has a citation

Biggest Douglas Plant Organized By Machinists
LAM. Designated As Bar gaining Agent For II, 1000
 Production Workers

SANTA MONICA, Calif. = The Intl. Assn. of Machinists has won a runof NLRB election at the parent plant here of the vast Douglas air craft empire, cinching its designation as collective bargaining agent of Ill., 900 production and maintenance work CTS.
 More than 9O@o of eGgibles vot- ed at Is polling places, giving the LAM 62.79o, the United Auto Work CTS (CIO) 36.5%o, with the remain ing ballots void or challenged.
 The LAM gained 27.43o over the 35.3% it received in the NLRB cleo tion, held a week earlier, while the JAM went under the 389o it received then. Apparently all the 2o.5% who voted no union originally switched to the LAM in the runoff election.
 Commenting on the victory, LAM Business Agent Edward M. Skagen said: "The results were very grati flying. We're certain that postwar Los Angeles will be the worlds aircraft capital. We've been assured the sup port of our CIO opponents i'll at tempting to obtain the best possible contract for Douglas Santa Monica workers"

gates from Locals, the convention was attended by a number of fra ternal delegates. These included R. H. DOnnelly, president of the Massachusetts State Association of Plumbers and Steamftters, of Worcester; A. A. Cillis, general or ganizer for the U. A. for New England; John J. Egan, secretary treasurer of the Conn. Federation of Labor; and Wellington Harri- son, W.M.C. Apprentice Training Service Representative. Harrison addressed the convention, and urged the organizations to adopt apprentice programs and to take particular interest in their trade education. He recommended special consideration of the homecoming war veterans as apprentices.
 The banquet at the Stanley, in addi- ton to the addresses, included a pro- gram of entertainment. The speakers included Gov. Baldwin, J. J. Egan, Rev. Joseph Griffin of St. Mary's Church, and others. Howard Hickox, of Local 256, presided. The next con vention will be held in Danbury in April, 1945.

be known as a progressive, some thing which the Senate and Connecti- cut need very, very much.
 Bob Hurley's record is an open book to the working men and women of this state. His 'no-strike' victory compact, inc first in the nation, proves that he can win the cooperation of labor and manage ment for recOnversiOn and post war planning. His War Industries Commission made Connecticut one of the leading states in the Union in the field of war production. When Bob Hurley was Governor, he introduced into the General As sembly legislation for a State Labor Relations Act, Rent Control, and the building of war housing. All were killed by the Republican-con- trolled House of Representatives. Bob is one of us. We know him, and we want him back in the State Capitol.
 This is the situation, ladies and gentlemen. My good friend Tim Col lins has told you of labor's support oi President Roosevelt, and our firm in- tention to send to Washington a dele gation i'll Congress which will CO., operate with our President. We are for Brian McMahon and Bob Hurley because they stand for the things we stand for. The job of all of us is tc see to 1t they aro elected"

say, is the reputation of Sen. John A. Danaher, reputation which is borne out by the facts. Sometimes l think John Danaher would rather throw mud at the New Deal than take shot at our enemies Over- seas. 1 am sure that if John Danaher were reelected, he would be one of bloc which would work and vote to keep us from making a peace that might prevent another world war. Millions of lives have been lost in this war-we cannot take a chance that a small group of Obstructionists in the Senate will nullify these tragic sacrifices.
 John Danaher's labor record is well known in Connecticut. On the question of upholding President t Roosevelt's veto of the vicious Smith Connally Act, he was absent when the vote was taken He voted against the Murray-Kilgore-T Truman Bill, ], which would have given war workers a fair measure of security during the transition from war to peace
 Brian McMahon has never been an isolationist, and has announced his support of President Roosevelts far seeing program of international CO., operation. Brian McMahon's record as Assistant United States Attorney General proves that he is a friend of labor. At great personal risk, he went to Kentucky, and personally prose cuted the coal corporations, operators and deputy sheriffs of notorious liar Ian County on charge of conspiring to violate the Civil Rights statute. Some 75,000 coal miners and their families benefited. His work in Arkansas put an end to methods of slave-keeping that were used in that state; sharecroppers were helped, and many Negroes were rescued from peonage. His work assured justice for labor.

affairs; we know that he believes in the world cooperation that must exist in order to prevent World War III from breaking out in another genera tion or even less. It is up to us-the people of Connecticut-to retire to private life those who now represent us in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, and replace them with men and women who will CO., operate with President Roosevelt dur ing the difficult and important period ahead of us.
 The voting record of those now representing our state in Washing ton and who hope to be reelected next month shows that they place party interest before that of na- tional interest. In plain words, that means they believe President Roosevelt and labor are the chief enemies of this nation. They may be patriots to me that's patriotism in reverse. The best thing we can do is vote them out of office on Nov. z, and put an end to a disgraceful chapter in Con- necticut history.
 Organized labor believes that na- tional prosperity depends upon there being a job available for every man and woman who is willing and able to work We are determined to avoid depression with millions of unem- ployed when this war is over. We want no "Hoovervilles" and no selling of apples on street corners. Our war veterans and war workers deserve jobs at decent wages as matter ot right It Is my opinion that President Roosevelt, and such men as Brian McMahon and Bob Hurley, with their proven belief that human rights come first are best qualified to help us re- store, our state and nation to a level at which all people will be sure of a reasonable standard of living.
 ''Finally, we want to keep and extend the gains the common man has made after many years of bit ter struggle. Under President Roosevelt, we have won the Ma tional Labor Relations Act, the Wage-Hour Law, Fair Employment Practices. and a measure of Social Security.
 "We cannot be sure of main faining these gains unless Presi- dent Roosevelt and men and ,UO- men ,oIO support his broad human policies are elected On NOU. z.

Tenn. Town Adopts Anti-Union Statute

ATHENS, Tenn.-Marking a new wave of anti-union municipal laws spreading through the south, an ordi- nance was passed here requiring a years residence and an annual $5,O0O license fee for labor representative to come into the town on union busi- ness.
 Several small towns in Georgia have passed such laws recently and have arrested organizers for violating them. In Milledgeville Ga. the law has just been declared unconstitutional by the superior court.
 Although Athens is only small town, the Chattanooga Central Labor Union asked the Tennessee Fedora tion of Labor to make a test case of the situation here because if Athens gets away with it other towns in the state are expected to follow suit.

Address by Pres. Collins

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 "This IS one speech that am glad to make. can't tell you anything original or new, but I think you will be interested to know, and it is your right to know, why we in organized labor feel so strongly about this years national and state election.
 "First, here are a few facts. The A. F. of L. in Connecticut over whelmingly favors the election of President Roosevelt and Senator Harry Truman. In my opinion as an individual, whose business it is to know the labor movement of this state, the same is true regard ing labor's feeling about Bob Hur- ley, and Brian McMahOn. We have an official record of how labor feels about our present Representatives. The recent convention of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor unani- mously voted that no Congressman from this state, whether Senator or Representative, could truly be re- garded as a friend of labor.
 Mot only are the members of or ganized labor and their families and friends taking a positive stand in this election-they are doing something about 1t. Nearly every city in the state has committees working for the election of President Roosevelt, Brian McMahon, and Bob Hurley. At the present time, and by that 1 mean right through next Saturday night, they are concentrating on the immedi- ate job-that of making certain that all of their fellow trade unionistS and their friends are on the voting lists You will hear more about this later in this program.
 ''Do all these facts mean that the members of organized labor have suddenly become politicians, as the enemies of labor would have you think? The answer to that question is a simple and emphatic NO.
 Labor has no program which is separate from that of the people oi this state and nation. As Americans our paramount objective is complete victory over the Nazis and Japanese in the shortest possible time We or the home front must permit nothing to interfere with the achievement oi that objective. The next step is a real peace. The head of my union Pres. Daniel J. Tobin of the Inter national Brotherhood of Teamsters has summed this up by saying, and I quote:
 We cannot solve our local
 problems unless we first solve
 our international problems such
 as victory in the war and an en-
 during peace under which the
 common people can work and
 prosper without being haunted
 by the danger of another war.
 We in the American Federation oi Labor are convinced that President Roosevelt Is the man to lead us to quick victory, and an enduring peace We know his record in internationa
