Hines Blasts Forced Labor Plan AS Its Defeat
Is Predicted

son for tagging production in the
other industries, he said, are changes
in design, suddenly stepped-up sched-
ules and lack of facilities.
The War and Navy Departments
and the Selective Service System are
not competent to do the job of round
ing up manpower, Hines stated. He
insisted that the responsibility should
be left to labor and industry on a
voluntary basis.
"To those who would use forced
labor to avoid correcting the causes
of manpower shortages, we say: This
is the way to delay the war effort
not to speed it," declared Hines.
Meanwhile, business and farm
groups continued to assail the draft
labor" proposal just as vigorously as
the trade union movement. One Of
the most bitter attacks on the bill
was made by the National Association
of Manufacturers.

AFL Hits May Bill AS Ruse
For Military Dictatorship
Seamen Skip Holidays
To Keep Ships Sailing

Washington, d. C.-No merchant
ship missed convoy during the holiday
season as thousands of American
merchant seamen and officers volun-
tarily returned to the sea to maintain
the unbroken supply line of ships sail
ing to the fighting fronts, the War
Shipping Administration announced.
Men on shore leave responded to ur-
gent appeals carried in the newspap-
ers and broadcast over the radio and
sacrificed opportunities to spend the
holidays with their families. In pre-
vious years the departure Of some
ships was delayed by the shortage of
experienced personnel during the holi-
day season, VISA said.
"The response Of these men to the
appeal that they return to duty i'm
mediately was magnificent" said Cap
tain Macauley, Deputy War Shipping
Administrator.

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor blasted compul-
sorry labor legislation at public hear
ing before the House Military At
fairs Committee as indications null
tiplied that such legislation is DOOM
ed to defeat.
Lewis G Hines, AFL legislative
representative, delivered two-fisted
attack on the pending May Bill at the
hearing. He charged:
That claims of manpower short
ages have been greatly exaggerat-
ed.
2 That the May Bill is not AT
draft measure, nor a work -or-fight
bill, but provides for limited compul-
sorry service for all men from 18 to
45.
3 That sub-standard wages in
critical war plants are the chief cause
of manpower difficulties.
A That the War and Navy Depart
ments are backing the legislation in
order to place the entire nation un.
der military control.
5 That passage of the bill woulc
"demoralize" war production instead
of helping it.
Meanwhile, Senator James Mead
Chairman of the Senate War Investi
eating Committee, announced his op
position to the forced labor bill.
The Senator declared his commit
tee would institute immediate hear
ings to investigate the high-pressur'
talk about manpower shortages. Higl
officials of the War Manpower Com
mission, the War Production Boart
and the War Department will be call
ed.
In recent report, the Mead Com
mittee accused the War Department
of wasting manpower by permittin,
production Of huge surpluses of Ger
tain types of war equipment whel
the workers in those industries coul
have been diverted to plants manu-
featuring critical material.
Hines also charged wastage an

out Of fourteen war industries wher
production lags have set in, this cor
dition is due to manpower deficiencie
in only one. That is the foundry II
