BUTCHERS TO help
ARMY DURING
MEET SHORTAGE

SAN FRANCISCO -(FP)-The Anal
aamated Meat Cutters & Butcher Work
men (AFL) has reversed its previously
announced plan of not working on Mon
DAYS during the meat shortage.
Instead, butchers will bone meat Tor
overseas shipment to servicemen' But
cher shops will stay open six days a week
as usual. but any store docking an en-
ploye for hours or days when there Is
no meat to sell will promptly lose that
employe, who will either be sent to bone
meat for the armed forces or be put
TO work in another retail store.
We're going to supply the men for
the boning work, " Vice Pres. Milton Max
well said. II have been assured that
this work is essential not merely locally
needed. In the last two weeks some 80
of our men have been shifted into Class
IA. but this will end that. Women who
are laid off will be sent to take the
places of men doing the boning."
The proposal to close stores on Mon
DAYS was abandoned because Of the op-
position of the slaughterers and Of some
of the chain retailers, which would have
made it impossible to enforce closing
without picketing.

Pfc Bill Portnoy another Local 65er,

near them was I'd 1t. Arthur Stuart Of

Elk ENEMY NATIONS
INVITED TO
WORLD LABOR MEET

LONDON. .-( (FP) Following adoption
of a successful peace-making proposal
by CIO Delegate r. j. Thomas the aft
ernoon session of the World Trade
Union Conference February 8 accepted
without opposition a plan unanimously
reported by its standing orders commit
tee which had the day before plunged
the conference into disagreement.
Reporting out for a second time, the
committee proposed that invitations be
sent to representatives Of Bulgarian
Rumanian, italian and Finish labor or
carnations, leaving the decision on
whether they would be seated as o.
servers or delegates to the credentials
committee.
Neither Sec. Walter Citrine Of the
British Trades Union Congress nor the
IA other British delegates objected as
they had the day before, and thus they
arrived at the position supported by the
Soviet, U. S, French and other delega-
tions. Their objection had been met by
Thomas proposal that the report be
sent back to the committee
The second committee proposal, to in
vite representative from the Polish
Lublin area, still met concerted BTUC
opposition, however, and was sent back
to committee. The proposal was intend
ed to meet BTUC objections by inviting
a delegate from the Polish Seamen's
Union headquarters in Great Britain
which the committee said belongs to
both the International Transport Work
ers Federation, affiliated with the Inter
national Federation of Trade Unions
and the new Polish Trade Union Coun-
Gil operating in liberated Poland.

the first President Of the United States
washington was born in 1882 and died
in 1893. He was a descendent Of rather
aristocratic English parents. He was
born February % at Bridges Greek
Westmoreland county, Virginia Possibly
the most outstanding characteristic Of
washington was his courage and cleai
analysis of political and economic situ-
ations. washington is referred to as the
father Of the American nation and Lin
coin is referred to as the preserver Of
the nation. We reverence Washington
for his determination, his courage and
his ability.

LEVENSTEIN EXPOSESLADv "AFTAS
ARMY SCHEME TO TAKE FULL CONTROL
OF THE CIVILIAN ECONOMY OF AMERICA

NEW YORK (WDIr-The Army's col

Levenstein in the forthcoming March
issue Of Common Sense. The economists S
article is another voice in the chorus Of
labor. church and civic leaders who are
supporting the fight of the Free Labor
Committee of the Workers Defense
League, OF which Levenstein is a MEM
Der, against the May-Bailey work or
Jail" bill, now under consideration by
the Senate.
Levenstein uses the Army's own figures
to show how the military fabricated the
nlanpower shortage, but he fills in the
empty spaces which the Army, Navy ana
War Manpower Commission deliberately
avoided. In quoting the Army'S need for
100000 draftees and 100000 civilian
workers. the economist calls attention TO
the credit side of the ledger, quoting A.
p. Hinrichs. chief of the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics, who said during a radio forum
on January Is;
senator Brewster Just gave you gross
manpower requirements, 100000 men
and women for the armed forces and
100000 men as a maximum figure ior
production, but it is very important TO
distinguish between your gross and net
requirements The armed forces are re-
turning men to civilian life as well as
taking them out of it. Some industries
are contracting while others are expand
ing. Your net requirements are in the
order of 100000, not 100000.
Furthermore you get a normal growth
of the labor force of about 100000 in
this next six months period, so that the
hard to get problem that we are talking
about is in the order Of $4,000 people.
SO Levenstein chalks up on the for
gotten credit side the following figures
Montana labor news., 1945-02-15

BY any mathematical calculation
therefore, the total shortage was not
more than 10000 or 100000, Levenstein
asserts. Hinrichs himself announced on
Jan. l6. l945, that the net requirement
his next year and next six months Is
a smaller increase in the size Of the
labor force than we had had at any time
tn the last four to five years"
Furthermore, WPB Chairman krug
has attributed Is per cent Of the short
age" to factors other than labor. Here
are his figures.

In 1848 gold was discovered in California and the '49ers. upon arrival in the San Francisco Bay region, discov- cred there was no ice there with which to preserve their food sup plies. The nearest available ice supply was in Boston, across the continent by covered wagon, or a long, hard haul by sailing vessel around Cape Horn to the West Coast.
