"SIMPLE INTELLECTUAL HONESTY"

THE American Federation of Labor Information:
al Labor Relations Committee does some frank
speaking in pointing out that telling the truth
about Russian affairs is not hostility to Russia
The Communists and their sympathizers in the
United States and organs OF the Soviet dictator
ship in Russia such as Pravda, would have it that
any breath of criticism of Russian actions is trea-
son to the United Nations.
The AFL committee blasts this view in the
natter of the Russian trade unions. Says the COM
nittee in asserting that the most striking defect
Of the so-called World Trade Union Conference
recently held in London is the lack of unity in its
"TIhe labor organizations of the Soviet Union,
for example, can hardly be described as perform
ng the same function as labor unions in represen-
sative democracies practicing the system of nd-
vdual initiative private ownership and freedom
of speech, press, worship and association
'To recognize that fact" the committee says
is not an act of hostility to our Russian allies 1t
IS simple matter of intellectual honesty. 1t is like
trying to merge the English language with the
Russian. The mixture would be neither Ineligible
nor useful to those who speak either language"
That is refreshing speaking and it's truth in
,ontrovertible. But watch for the outburst from
,he "Commes," here and abroad. With Pravda in
,he forefront, they will make the well known
Nekn ring with denunciatons of the AFL as al
black foe of all things Russian.

TAKING TT ON THE CHIN
WHEN THE OPA refuses to raise prj

WHEN THE OPA refuses to raise prices, far
" mers professors and manufacturers simply
hold supplies off the market. 1t has happened &
thousand times in the last year. There have beer
shortages aplenty simply because those who con
troll the goods the public needs, refuse to sci
them.
When big industrialists want more money
even for badly needed war materials, they get
You do not read that sort Of news in the
papers The only kind Of strikes you read about
are those affecting the working people. Even then
you do not get all the facts you get only half
the story
Last week the public members of the Ma
tonal War Labor Board piled fiction upon fiction,
and phoney statistics upon more phoney statistics
to excuse "a refusal to crack the vicious Little
Steel Formula. In effect, these board members,
who are supposed to represent the people rather
than any one single group said that wages are
higher than living coStS-and there isn't reliable
figure available anywhere to support such state
ment. They said the workers are not justified in
asking for wage increases.
Labor knows that it is getting the worst Of
it, Make no mistake about that. The workers
know that industry and business are profitting
more out of this war than ever before in their
history. They know that decent justifable
raise in wages need not raise prices thin dime
for prices are far too high right now.
The representatives Of Labor, however, have
given the President their pledge not to strike,
and they are going TO keep it. A few will fall by
the wayside few will deny their pledge, but the
99.9 percent will not be swayed from their duty.

THE FACT that once again the military has
brought forward some kind of arrangement fo1
5he RECOMMENDATION of labor three years after the
var began, justifably raises suspicion. 1t is ap-
parent that the great job of production has been
achieved; that we are already in the transition
period from war to peace and that men are being
aid off rapidly from key jobs; that 100000 men
month are being demobilized from the armed
services and still the military wants something
resembling national service act.
AS usual they have carried on their campaign
without reference to facts or legitimate argu-
nents. They have given patriotic utteranceS about
lire need and they have tried to over-awe the
Congress with personalities who claim the afore
said step is absolutely necessary.
At no time has there been any evidence that
there has been a shortage of materials on
any front. AS matter of fact on the German
'front.' more shells were fired by artillery In one
4-hOur period than at any time in the history
IF warfare. If there were dslocation of materials
t was not due to shortage at the source of supply
out to failure of logisticS due to unexpected adj
justments which had to be made. At all times
he War Department has been in complete con-
rol Of the manufacture and distribution of muni-
lions for artillery and other arms. If there has
been any shortage, it has been entirely due toI
ack of planning and foresight on the part of theI
military The implication that labor has cOntri-I
outed to this disocation is one of those vicious
nsinuations that do harm to loyal and patriotic
oody of workmen.
From November, 1943 to November, 1914
var plants reduced employment by 100000 In
scheduled releases of workers from war plants
lue to cutbacks and run-outs during the first half
If 1915, there will be about 350,000 men.
These figures do not paint picture that en-
the RECOMMENDATION of workers at this
lour According to dispatches from the meeting
If the Big Three, it is apparent that they fore
see the imminent closing of the war against Ger
many. 1t is wonder then that labor concludes
hat the proposal for RECOMMENDATION of labor is
lothing more than the fulfillment of the bastard
y old philosophy of "soak labor, and then soak
abor again"

NO LABOR UNION CONVENTIONS
MAY BE HELD IN 1915

CEVERAL hundred union conventions scheduled
~ including those of the AtL and ClO, Will un
doubtedly be cancelled this year unless the Office
of Defense Transportation relaXeS It's recent rul
ing against convention travel.
The ODT ban prohibits travel to any conven-
tion of more than 80 people. Only one small loop
hole is contained in the regulation and unions are
not expected to take advantage of it. An organiza
ton wishing to hold a convention despite the regu-
lation must make application to ODT and show
specifically how the war effort would be retarded
or handicapped if the convention were not held
Voluntary compliance with the ban will un-
doubtedly be the rule, according to ODI officials.
at must be understood" declared an ODT spOkes-
man that this ruling was put into effect not only
because transportation facilities, trains and buses
are terrificay overburdened, there is also nvolv-
ed the use of fuel, the fact that hotels are over
crowded, and the waste of crucial manpoWer
A special five-man committee will rule on ap-
plications from groups that ask for exemption
from the ban. Members are ODT Director John
SON. Assistant Secretary of War Patterson, Under
Secretary of the Navy Bard WPB Chairman
Krug and War ManpoWer Commission Chairman
Hay.
At the present time the War Committee on con-
ventions has announced the names of more than
200 organizations whose requests for permission
to hold convention OF more than 80 persons have
been refused. In addition they set forth that per-
mission has been granted to only two organlZa-
tions throughout the entire nation, to hold con-
ventions and one of these had to do with the Red
Cross whose convention has for its purpose the
formulating of plans to raise 200 million dollars
for Red Cross relief.
AS our members know, the 52nd annual con-
vention of the National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters is scheduled to be held in July, 1915. Our
convention naturally will be subject to Govern
ment regulations.
The National Office has no definite informa-l
ton at the present time as to whether a conven-
ton can be held, however the National Officersl
are in contact with the ODT seeking informationI
relative to the holding of our annual convention

UNION MEAT WORKER is
HONORED FOR HEROISM

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS).-The
list of medals and awards won by
union men in service grows longer
every day. Their acts of heroism on
battlefields are an inspiration, the
War Department feels, to the union
men and women on production lines
who turn out the superior arms and
equipment that will speed our fight
ing mems safe return.
Another AFL man to receive the
Distinguished Service Cross, highest
honor awarded by a commander on
the field of battle, is Sergeant Will
liam Hodge, Pittsburgh, Pa. Hodge
employed for 7 years prior to enter
ing the Army by the Wilson Packing
Co., is member of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen
of North America.
Hodge was in Italy May II, 1914,
when his platoon made night attack
against strong enemy positions. He
and a comrade, with total disregard
for their own safety, attacked and de-
stroyed an enemy machinegun nest
which was preventing an advance,
and killed enemy soldiers. Accord
ing to the War Department citation:
Their action at the risk of their
lives . and aggressiveness and dis
play of courage reflect the high tradi-
tions of the military service"

DRIVE FOR POSTWAR BAN
ON CHILD LABOR OPENS

New York City.-Action now to
prohibit employment of children
under 16 years old is necessary to
protect both children and adults after
the war, according to the National
Child Labor Committees. The organi-
zation has issued several thousand
copies of pamphlet, "The Case for
Sixteen Year Employment Laws"
which describes current laws and
points out that after the war cheap
child labor may compete with adult
employment.
The pamphlet will be sent free to
individuals and to national and local
organizations for use in State cam
paigns to raise the age limit for child
labor in the postwar period from II
to l6 during school hours, according
to Mrs. Gertrude Folks Zimand, ex-
ecutive secretary of the committee.

LABOR AWARD FOR J. MYERS

New York City (ILNS).-The ma

Defense League has voted the
leagues annual award for distin-
guished service in behalf of labor's
rights to the Rev. James Myers, in
dustrial secretary of the Federal
Council of Churches, who has organ
lied church services featuring labor
sermons in connection with AFL con-
ventions. The award, in the form of
a plaque, was given in previous years
to Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette,
Jr., John j. Finerty and A. Philip
Randolph, president of the Brother
hood Of Sleeping Car Porters.

MEAN WHAT IT SAYS

AT THIS writing no knows what kind of a
Amanpower bill will be passed by Congress. The
house has approved the May-Bailey Limited ma
tional service bilP' with compulsory work provi-
sions which are stoutly opposed by organized la
Dor, industry and agriculture. The Senate has
passed the O'AIahoney-Kilgore bill, with penalties
on employers not obeying orders of the War Man
power Commission for transfer of workers
With the bills in conference, drive is on by
administration forces to secure conference re-
port approving the May-Bailey bill, perhaps with
some notifications but retaining the compulsory
labor features. If the fight drags on, the Senate
might be dragooned into approving such confer
ence report. If it does, organized workers can well
take the lead, as the outstanding champion of free
labor, in moving for a prompt test Of the law in
the courts, with the final decision up to the Su-
preme Court.
Compulsory labor provisions seem in plain dis
agreement with the 18th Amendment prohibiting
involuntary servitude. The nation might just as
well know whether the amendment means what it
says. 1t seems perfectly plain to the ordinary cit
zen, but in these days there is no telling what will
happen to the most plainly worded constitutional
guarantee.

"PEASANTS" IN THE u. S

ONE OF THE big Eastern newspapers recently
y carried dispatch from liberated France that
caused us to ponder. 1t told of little French girl
who, as spokesman, recited these words of graft
tude for shipment of clothing from America:
"lhe children Of Paris thank the peasants of
the Corn Belt who sewed up these clothes for us. .
Peasants indeed Surely the children of a
reviVing France should be told and taught, com
nencing just about now, that the CPS who fought
md died for their liberation did SO because they
were the sons Of free men--that the farmers of
the Corn Belt up to this writing, at least never
even heard such a word as peasant"
What's more they are determined never to
near it either---or anything that it implies.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Every once in while some public
official or commentator rises on his
hind legs to assail little neutral ma
tions, such as Switzerland and
Sweden, for not joining in the world
blood bath on the side of the United
Nations.
These critics apparently forget or
ignore a number of things, among
them that if the little neutrals had
sided with the United Nations to the
extent Of war they would in all likeli-
hood have been quickly overrun by
the Germans and would have proved
excel ent bases for materially
strengthening the German war ma
chine
But perhaps even more important
from long range viewpoint land
short range, too for that matter) is
the fact that the little neutrals would
have been denied their chance to
serve humanity if they had gone to
war. As it is, they have worked in
many constructive ways to prevent
human starvation and suffering and
to work toward the rebuilding of the
world.
Take Sweden, for example Sweden
has accomplished an incalculable
amount of good by helping to feed
the starving in Greece, Norway, Hol-
land and other nations under the Nazi
heel. And the Swedes are going right
ahead with their good work, as shown
by recent Stockholm dispatches, re-
porting that the Minister of Finance,
Ernst Wigforss, has placed bill be-
fore the Swedish Parliament for the
financing of further credits and gift
shipments to the war-ravaged coun
tries of Europe.
The total sum required to cover
such activities from the beginning of
the war up to the end of the next
budget year June 80, 1946) will be
23,500,0 100000 kronor ($625, ,000).
In proportion to population this
would correspond to about $4,000,
100000 for the United States.
Approximately 1,00O,00O,0OO kronor
have already been allotted, over 40O,-
100000 kronor of this sum being for
gifts, and the rest for reconstruc-
tion credits to foreign governments
for goods and materials to be sup
piled by Sweden as soon as it is pos
Sible to ship.
The Swedish press expresses salts
faction with the Wigforss bill, the
general opinion being voiced by the
abor organ, MorgonT Tidningen,
which says:
"Our obligation to others who are
worse off than we will not permit any
speedy improvement in our own
standard of living, but such con-
iderations are far outweighed by the
abstraction of being able to help
thers to rebuild"
Svenska Dagbladet, Conservative $
stockholm daily, suggests that the
cry size of the credits may give rise
broad to exaggerated ideas as to |
'weden's financial strength and pro- t
uctive capacity. On the other hand, t
venska Dagbladet continues, Swedes $
ave the right to expect that such '
will be regarded as con- c
lusive evidence of their readiness to c
ut all resources to work to heal the
rounds of war. The paper says it is !
ure that in this respect the bill is a t
lear expression of what the Swedish il
eople think and desire.
The new afternoon daily, Ex-
ressen, says no opposition to the bill a
probable in the Ridsdag. at will c
e welcomed by all parties in all {
uarters as an expression of Sweden's n
ceiling of international obligations" "

Mill City Girl
Nurses Officer
Liked England
photo on Front Page

Soft spoken, attractive 1t.
Theresa James Hubbard Of
Minneapolis, who has been a
member of the Army Nurses
Corps for the last four or more
years, is home for an indefinite
stay until the first Of the year.
1t. Hubbard has served with the
Nurses Corps overseas in Apple
ton Warrington, England, for the
past IA months. She was also in
Manchester and the Southern part
of England, at the 1853 Station Hos
pital.
During her stay in England, 1t.
Hubbard went on a tour and visited
at Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the
Isle of Wight. She was particu-
larly impressed with the Isle of
Wight, because of its landscaping.
She says that it is strictly resi-
Dental. There are no factories, the
people grow their food. Other
necessities are purchased from the
factories in England. She visited
Westminster Abbey, MAZDA m
Toussands' Wax Museum and there
she found wax figures of many
prominent Americans, among them
was a likeness of "Joe Louis. /"
These figures, she said, were so
life-ike, they were frightening.
The Lieutenant also visited Queen
Mary's room at the Castle in Scot
land, and the Palace.
In her unit there were 60 nurses
who left the States together. Upon
their arrival, they were the guests
of Lady Fellows, heir to the Singer
Sewing Machine Company fortune.
1t. Hubbard stated that the CO.
operation in England was splendid
and she couldn't have asked for
better treatment. She entered the
service in 1941 and is now going
into her fifth year. She is the only
Negro nurse from Minnesota.
While here she is the guest of her
mother and sister, Mrs. J. Maxwell
and Mrs. Clarissa Lawson, 1921
Fourth Avenue South. She went to
Durham, N. c., Monday night, Oct.
20, for a ten-day visit with Mrs.
Zerline Bradley, another sister.
