unhappily holding an over-ripe red her

news commentator William S. Gailmor,
a member of the American Newspaper
Guild (CIO) and his sponsor, the Elec-
tronics Corporation of America.
Pegler announced in his column that
he was out to get Gailmor off The air
after his progressive news commentary
on a smaller station had won him a
nightly l5-minute spot over the Blue
networks Station WIZ and an increas-
ngly large audience.
Joined by the local scripps-Howard
paper, Pegler started off his smear by
accusing Gailmor Of being a Communist
with a criminal record Of car thefts and
then followed up by scattering some red
paint on Gailmor's sponsor Investigation
disclosed that Gailmor had taken the
cars in 1899 as the result Of a neurosis,
commonly known as a nervous break
down. Instead Of being sentenced to
prison, he was given a years medical
treatment in sanitarium and dis
charged as completely cured.

included personal visits to Blue network
officials, ended in defeat when the net

LAWS IS READY

alike. was available from the Labor de
partment Jan %.
A 62-page roundup Of laws and agen-
cies dealing with labor, the guide was
drawn up the Labor department said,
to overcome the handicap of inadequate
knowledge on the subject and to keep
shop stewards and foremen from tread
ing needlessly on each others toes.
It covers the scope and function of
bureaus within the Labor department
as well as outlines details Of the wage
and hour act and other basic federal
laws. Emergency wartime legislation
and agencies and labor aspects Of vet
erans legislation are also summarized.
MANY serious plant grievances, un-
necessary appeals to government bodies
and much litigation can be averted
where supervisors and stewards have a
clear understanding Of their mutual
rights and obligations and know what
agencies can help them the depart
ment said,
The handbook is compiled in loose-leaf
booklet form, the department said, so
comparable additions on state legislation
can be inserted.

We must have more Jobs than workers;
not more workers than jobs
U. S. Help to Industry
If We are going to have remunerative
jobs for all, we must have an expanded
private industry capable of hiring mil
lions more men. I propose that the gov
eminent DO its part in helping private
enterprise finance this expansion of our
industrial plant.
More Foreign Trade
In providing Jobs for everyone, we
shall not only have to increase demand
for our industrial and agricultural pro
duction here at home but also abroad.
Full Employment Guide
] Whenever the number Of gainfully en-
ployed in this country falls below 81
million, our government should take
prompt steps to see that new Jobs are
made available to keep the total from
falling significantly below that figure.
This is the floor below which we must
not let employment fall
Protecting Lahor's Gains
The gains made by labor during the
war must be retained in full This
time we must make sure that wage rates
are not reduced when the wartime de-
mand for labor is diverted into peace
time channels. We must make sure
that the labor market is not broken by
unemployment and wage slashes.
Higher Wages
American labor should be assured that
! there will be no wage cuts after this war.
What is even more important-when the
workers hours are cut back to peacetime
levels a real attempt must be made to
adjust wage rates upward And wages
should be constantly increased as the
productivity Of industry is increased
Shorter Hours
An increase in wages is not the only
benefit the American worker should re-
ceive from increased productivity He
should also benefit in the form Of shorter
hours Of work in the form Of increased
leisure and opportunities for healthful
recreation.

100000 More Workers
Needed, Says Stimson

WASHINGTON. - Secretary Of War
Henry L. stimson this week announced
an Army draft quota of 100000 for
March, an increase Of 10000 over Janu-
airy and February drafts, and at the same
time called for 100000 more workers in
industry by next June 80.
The increased draft, the Secretary
said, has been brought about by the re-
alization that, "the Germans are very
evidently not going TO accept the newt
able without fight to the finish" The
fact that the war against Japan has
moved ahead of schedule has also added
to the Army manpower strain, he added.
The increased draft will call all ply
sically qualified men below 80 from fac
tories, farms and government, according
to Secretary Stimson, who added that
the places Of these young men will have
to be taken by older men, women and
younger men not acceptable for military
service"
OF the 100000 workers needed by the
end of June, 100000 are required for
the production of heavy ammunition,
heavy guns, trucks, tires, cotton duck
and other items which are now tagging
behind schedule About 100000 men and
women will be needed in other war in
dustries and war-supporting industries
such as transportation and public utili-
ties, he said the remaining 10000 be-
ing required for unavoidable changes
and additions in Army Services Forces
original programs, such as the arming
of newly formed French divisions.
