Labor Legislative Meeting

An interesting meeting was held by
the Labor Legislative Committee in
the labor temple last Wednesday
night. The attendance was better than
heretofore and the reason is that the
labor organizations are waking up to
what is going on politically. Ralph
Morningstar presided at this meeting
Most of the discussions were per-
tanning to local matters and the city
council meetings in particular. From
these discussions and the opinions of
the delegates, one could readily see
that laborlng men are not favorable
to any blue laws whatever. And they
don't want anyone to tell them how
to spend their money after they have
earned it. Some expressed themselves
as being against rackets, but not
gambling.
Morningstar urged the delegates to
attend the city council meetings and
invited all trades unionists be at these
meetings.
The Labor Legislative Committee
consists of delegates from the differ
ent A. F. of L., and the c. |. 0. or
ganizations in Hamilton. All unions
are welcome to send delegates. Meet
ings are held second and fourth

Urgency of vacations for war work.
ers this summer was emphasized by
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the
War Production Board in a statement
asking labor and management make
plans Immediately for vacations in
such a manner as would not curtail
production.
Employees of war industries, in the
fourth year of the great drive for pro-
duction of everything needed to hasten
victory, are entitled to a period of re-
taxation and recreation, Nelson point
ed out, because there is great dan
ger of chronic fatigue and consequent
loss of production from increased ILL
ness and injuries and decreased guam
tity and quality of goods produced .
Plants must not be shut down for
vacation purposes unless that is neces-
sary for overhauling and repairs, Mel
son said, adding that it also is i'm
portant that employees not be permit
ted to waive vacations in order to re-
ceive vacation pay as additional in
come, since that would defeat the ba-
sic purpose Of the vacation" "increas-
ing production by restoring the work
er's energy and zeal.''
At the same time, Nelson said, in.
dustry and it's workers should make
whatever arrangements necessary to
provide vacation schedules before the
vacation season is upon them.
