Aid To Veterans
 Specially Listed

So outstanding has been the work of the A.F.L. unions in Bridgeport in their partici. patton in community activi- ties, that national recognition was given them this week by the Labor League for Human Rights, the relief arm of the A.F.L.
 ''The city-wide Veterans Pro gram in Bridgeport (Conn.) could we'll be used as a model by com. munities throughout the country says the leading article in ''Labor League News.''
 ''In this New England city, La. bOr, management, veterans organ. izatiOns. the professions, private and public agencies-an are work. ing together towards a common end: To help returning members of the armed forces and displaced war workers readjust themselves successfully.
 "The American Federation o1 Labor is taking a leading part if carrying out the program. The Labor Cooperating Committee, made up o1 57 local unions in the city, represent ing all branches of Labor, have choser Leo Dunn of the A. F. of L. as their spokesman within the overall Bridge port group, which is known as the Community Advisory Service Center
 "A labor educational program is one of the first projects of the Co- operating Committee.
 "A city-wide meeting, sponsored by Labor, is scheduled. General types of problems relating to re- turning servicemen will be dis cussed. Representatives of the pulp lie and private agencies will be in- vited to present the specific services offered by their respective agencies.
 "The. next step in the labor edu- cational program is series of meet ings in which groups of unions hay ing similar problems will participate For instance, A. F. of L. Building Trades locals and the Allied Print ing Unions will have separate meet ing, as will Stage Employees, Musi- clans and A. F. of L. Motion Pic ture Operators.
 ''The next phase will be series of labor-management meetings to make sure that both of these groups are proceeding along similar lines.
 Eventually it is planned to have labor management committees in every plant to take action on specific prob lens concerning veterans as they arise. It is also contemplated that foremen and shop stewards take part in the educational program so that an understanding of veterans problems will extend down throughout indus trial plants.
 ''The Bridgeport endeavor is the type advocated by the A. F. of LIS Labor League. It is destined to be successful because all segments of the community, including La bOr, will be fully represented

pricking them with reminders of
the great wrong done their young
er brother long years before. In
the sumptuouSness of their sur
roundings they looked for some sort
OF retribution. The ruler sat sternly
IN state before them, unrecognized.
But he seemed under a strange
emotional stress. He ordered all
the Egyptians out of the room, then,
unable to restrain himself longer,
and giving full voice to his emo
tlons,' so that even the neighbors
heard his grief, he avowed himself
the long-lost brother of the uncouth
shepherds who stood trembling be-
fore him. No thought of vengeance
was here, only the outpouring of
pent-up family affection.
Climaxing the scene was Joseph's
avowal OF his identity, as the brother
whom they had sold into Egypt.
Ihis might have smitten the 10 with
lear, but the premier, in his robes
OF state, made haste to forgive them
all, and to point out how Gods
providence had provided this means
OF saving the family's life.
For the moment, Joseph's large
concern for Egypt and the hunger
Ing neighbor nations was laid aside
and ne saw the whole dramatic tale
OF events as an exhibition of God's
proVldence for his family. In this
SHINING story of his own rise to
power he discerned the continuance
OF the Divine covenant with Abra
ham, Isaac and Jacob.

WPB Chairman Alarmed Over
Acute Shortage OF Pulpwood

Washington - Grave concern
over the low receipts of pulp
wood and the continued drain on
inventories at pulp mills was re-
Elected in a statement made this
week by J. A. Krug, chairman of
the War Production Board.
Increased production of pulp
wood in the United States is alb
solutely essential to the success
full prosecution of the war in the
Pacific" Mr.. Krug declared in a
statement that reiterated the
point that Essential requirements
for forest products have not been
lessened by the end of the war in
Europe"
"Pulpwood and wood pulp pro-
duction remain on the Production
Urgency List of vital war ma
terials," he declared While pulp
wood production is normally a
seasonal operation in many
areas, he urged continued opera
tons throughout the summer and
fall, IF serious shortages and
mill shut-downs are to be avert
ed"
Mr.. Krug's statement recog-
nized that extremely bad weather
in some areas, coupled with ice
and snow break-ups in he North
made it difficult if not impossi-
be to move large amounts Of
wood cut last winter"
This critical situation is fore
ing many pulp mills to operate al
less than capacity" Mr.. Krug sta
ted.
Labor and transportation were
listed as two of the primary
problems in the industry.
Shortages of trucks, tires
freight cars, wood operation
equipment and men," according
to the WPB chairman, 'are al
contributing to the seriousness Of
the production program"
Referring to the urgent demand
for peeled top quality pulpwooc
needed to meet the official quo
ia of 100000 cords of pulp
wood for 1915, Mr.. Krug said
GAS current reports indicate pro
duction is substantially behind
this goal, every effort to over.
come existing difficulties must be
made and production stepped up
