Ohio Labor
Management
Pact Breaks Down

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 28-
Initial efforts to extend on an
Ohio state level the Labor-man-
agement Agreement reached on
a national basis have broken
down according to Jack Kroll,
President of the Ohio CIO Coun-
Gil. Labor Representatives of
CIO and AFL met three times
with Herschel Atkinson, Presi-
dent of the Ohio Chamber of
Commerce to reach an under
standing similar to the one
reached by Eric Johnston, ma
tional President of the Chamber
of Commerce; Philip Murray,
President of the CIO; and Will
liam Green, President of the
AFL. This agreement, widely
hailed in press and radio as an
historic understanding between
management and labor, was
projected on a state level in the
meetings held in Columbus.
When the exploratory meet
ings were concluded on a favor
able note, Mr.. Atkinson present
ed the L b arrangement
Charter to his Board of Direc-
tors for approval. Word came
back that the Board was not yet
ready to sanction on a state level
what the national Board had
quickly approved on national
level. The matter may be taken
up at later date by the Ohio
Chamber Executive Board, but
at the present moment the
Boards action stands as a vote
of no confidence to the national
Chamber of Commerce.

Plans to erect the pool at

announced on May 18 by Rich

director after a committee from
CIO unions agreed that this gift
would be the most fitting to
commemorate the memory of the
late President Roosevelt.
To Distribute Cans
Tom Burke, secretary of the

that the fund would be collected
in all CIO shops in accordance
with an agreement between CIO

FIGHTERS FOR FREEDOM
By HARRY II. SCHLACHT

Man takes with him only that which
he has freely given away.
But we know this: That even death
may not deprive the soldier OF the riches
Of his patriotic service and self-sacrifice.
Indeed the soldier takes with him TO
his bier gift so rare that even envy is
compelled to pay tribute OF admiration.
MAY He who holds our destiny in the
lfl hollow of His hand strengthen and
sustain the hands of our noble sons who
carry on this bitter fight.
Nav the perpetual light of Gods SUM-.
shine always be upon those who IN the
defense Of their country give their all that
another generation may live In peace and
security
To our American soldiers who love
their fellow-men we respectfully dedicate
the stanzas of "Abou Ben Adhem," by
Leigh Hunt:
"Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe in
creaseD
Awoke one night from deep dream of
peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his
room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem
bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
What W,itoSt thou?' the vision raised its
head.
And with look of sweet accord.
Answered, The names Of those WhO lore
the LOrd.'
And is mine one? said Abou. Nay, not
So
Replied the angel Abou, spoke more low,
But cheerfully still; and said, I pray thee,
then,
Write me as one that loreS his fellow men,.
The angel wrote, and vanished The next
night
1t came again and with great awaken
ing light,
And showed the names whom love of God
had blessed,
And 10! Ben Adhem's name led all the
