Washington, D. C.-Labor won the
initial round in the Senate fight on
forced labor legislation when the Mil
itary Affairs Committee decided to
hold hearings, which may last more
than week, before acting upon the
House-approved May bill.
Advocates of compulsory labor, who
sought to stampede the committee in
to an immediate favorable report on
the May bill, received jolt when the
Senate group decided to call in labor
and industry representatives, along
with military leaders, to express their
views on the legislation. 1t is ex-
pected that at least three representa-
tives of the AFL will be invited to
testify.
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney, who
insisted new hearings be held, de-
clared that the entire war picture has
changed since the latest drive for
compulsory labor legislation was initi-
ated. He said:
cat that time, the Russian drive
had not begun. Now the Russians
are at the gates Of Berlin"
Other Senator's, developing the
same theme, indicated that if the COM
pulsory labor bill were passed, the
war in Europe might end before ma
chinery could be organized to put it
into effect. They pointed out that the
defeat Of Germany would result in
sharp reduction of war production in
this country and the creation of labor
surpluses, instead Of shortages. They
said they felt more than reluctant to

Proof Of Manpower Waste And Hoardng Submitted
To Council

Miami.-Evidence of widespread
waste of labor, exaggerated estimates
of manpower needs and failure OF
government procurement agencies to
work out program for full use of
facilities already in operation, was
presented to the AFL Executive
Council meeting here.
These facts were gathered by the
AFL research staff in support of Ia
boris contention that compulsory labor
draft legislation is unnecessary and
that civilian agencies should be re-
tanned to direct manpower mobiliza-
tion.
AS an example of manpower waste,
a report from an AFL representative
in Los Angeles charged that carpen-
tiers and other skilled workers in ship
yards in that area were being kept in
enforced idleness. The report added:
Management refuses to release
them although shortage of skilled
carpenters in nearby Grating yards de-
lays the Grating Of munitions for ship
ment to the Pacafic war fronts.
"Airplane parts and equipment OF
all kinds are piling up, waiting to be
Grated, while skilled carpenters in
shipyards are told by management to
hide themselves and are not allowed
to do the work they ask permission
to do"
The AFL research service declared
that similar conditions exist in navy
yards and in many plants working or
a cost-plus basis.
The Executive Council was inform
ed that the Taft Bill, offered as q
substitute for the May Bailey Bill ir
Congress, would correct these condi-
tions by empowering the Manpowel
Commission to investigate and elimi
nate wastage and boarding of labor
Investigation by AFL representa-.
tives also showed that scores of com.
panies have exaggerated their man.
power requirements. In few cases
it was found that firms have been lay
ing off higher paid workers while
claiming manpower shortages.
To prove that the armed services dt
not plan contract awards so as to ust
production facilities fully, the AFI
research service reported:
'In awarding their contracts, thu
armed services frequently permit {

power to close down for lack Of con
tracts, while work which the plan

Meanwhile, Senator Edwin c. john

War Department officials to sing one
tune in public and an entirely differ
ent one in secret While the War De-
partment went along with other Gov
ernment agencies in asking the Senate
Military Affairs Commission to place
administration of the May bill under

stead of the Selective Service system,
Senator johnson charged that private
telephone calls were made by high
War Department officials resisting
the charge.
Hearings before the Senate commit
tee will be in executive session and
the public will not be admitted.
Labor forces, having lost their fight
in the House by mere 6 votes, were
marshalling their forces for sterner
effort in the Senate with the prospect
Of better success. If the Senate adopts
the Taft substitute, favored by the
AFL, it was believed certain that the
House will agree to go along.
AFL leaders charged that sabotage
from Communist-controlle CIO un-
ions hurt labor's efforts to defeat the
May bill in the House. Several Con-
gressmen who were unwilling to vote
for the May bill in the face Of united
labor opposition switched at the last
minute when the CIO-C O-Communists
came out in favor Of the May bill.
Their action followed endorsement of
the bill by the Daily Worker. This
development was cited as another in
stance Of the betrayal Of labor's free
doms by the Communists, who are
more interested in obeying Moscow's
orders than protecting the rights Of
workers.

Senator O'Mahoney. Democrat. of

of Connecticut. Bishop Bernard j.

of the 65-cent minimum wage bill
as the first step to improve the eco

Monarch Hos Ruled
Sweden for More
Thun 81 Years
By the Associated Press.

STOCKHOLM, Mar. 31.-King
Gustav Of Sweden will become his
country's longest-reigning monarch
tomorrow-and the chances are that
he will celebrate by playing tennis.
II he does not play, 1t will be
only because the weather still is
q bit too crisp to play outdoors at
his beloved Drottingholm Castle
outside Stockholm, where he plans
to spend the day. Even at SO the
tall, lean monarch played an av-
erage Of two or three times a week
throughout the winter on the indoor
courts of the Royal Tennis Hall in
Stockholm.
1t will be 81 years, months
and "a days tomorrow since
King Gustav assembled the throne
December 8, 1907, to become Swe-
den's 2lst monarch of modern times.
The longest previous reign was that
Of Gustav Vasa, who became King
In 1928 and died in 1860. However,
the present Kings tenure falls con-
siderably short Of the record set by
Emperor Franz Joseph, who ruled
Austria for 68 years.
Despite his age, Sweden's King
remains In excellent health He
attends to all business Of the crown,
presides regularly over meetings of
the royal council and is the leading
exponent Of Sweden's neutrality
policy.
One anecdote has it that when it
once was suggested that King Gustav
should take up golf instead of tennis
he declined on the grounds that golf
was an "old mans game"
In tennis competition the King
always is referred to simply as
"Mr. g." and Swedish newspaper
accounts of tournaments always
have recorded his play in this
manner.
The King is unostentatious in
everything he does, which heightens
his peoples respect for him. Not
long ago Stockholmer, so the story
goes, dialed the Kings unlisted tele-
phone number by mistake and got
King Gustav on the line. The caller

NEW YORK.
One of the most lavish parties ever
tossed in New York City, site of some
rather extensive tippling in its time,
was given last Saturday after the

Todd entertained 600 persons. in

trail Park. Guests were driven to
the shindig in assorted broughams,
barouches, hansoms, landaus~ and
calashes, which by apt coincidence,
were right in the spirit and mood
Of the big, beautiful musical show.
Guests included the cast of Mikes
two Broadway musicals and practi-
cally every one who is any one in
the theater and saloon society
from Toots Shore to Jim Farley and
all waystops between. Even per-
sons who remembered Diamond Jim
Brady's parties said they never had
seen anything quite so lavish or so
much fun
