by its executive secretary. William

ganization of War Orphans Schol-
arships. Inc, to provide education
for the sons and daughters of
those who give up their lives in
the service. The generals Of the
Army and the admirals OF the
Navy, with the aid Of the Veter
ans Administration, select the
orphans to be aided, when the or
ganization founded by the bridge
players furnishes the funds.
A scholarship for such a young

$500, and if you. for instance. ar

who is the recipient chosen for
that scholarship and the educa-

Several dozen Of the orphans
have already been financed. At

testant in each event makes a
straight contribution Of 10 cents

he contributes. All told. some 20
million dollars are required to do
this entire task adequately, and
bridge players need all the help
in 1t which other associations, in
dustries and companies can give.
Now the league is embarked on
a plan to get more blood donors
for the Blood Donor Service OF the
American Red Cross. A quota has
been set for number of donors

To Pay, or Not To Pay, That Is the Question

The question of who, if any, would pay the workers for their two day PEACE JUBILEE has now been definitely settled by edict of the President.
 It seems that after President Tru- mans announcement of the fall of Japan and the proposed two day paid holiday that there were many misunderstanding in indus tries all over the country. Be- cause of this President Truman has hastened to rectify the matter.
 The last word is that in plants where the workers were sent home for two days, the N. w. L. B. allows plants to pay the workers two days straight time pay. Wher- ever workers were required to wefk, they will receive time and one half pay for their activities. In order to accomplish this for the workers, the President by Execu- tive Order No. $500, amended a war time executive order, No. 9240, covering overtime in war plants on LEGAL HOLIDAYS so as to in- clude the two days and thus permit war contractors to regain from the Government the extra wages paid out.
 This will be more than good news to all of us!.
 Executive Order No. 9600 was re- voked by President Truman on Monday, August 20, 1945.

LABOR'S WAR RECORD

Now that Labor Day is here and the war has come to an end, A long, tense months after Pearl Har- bor, it is timely to sum up labor's part in the tremendous effort. Here are some of the highlights:
 PRODUCTION--Munitions out put was boosted 11-fold, from a half billion dollars worth a month to 511 billion at the peak, greater than the rest of the world put to- gether. No wonder General George c. Marshall, army chief of staff, called the record a miracle"
 TRANSPORTATION = Railroad workers did swhat prophets of gloom called "impossible% they carried a load double prewar lev els, though short or equipment and nlanpower. Seamen delivered the goods to far-flung military outposts and to our Allies despite intensive submarine warfare which took the lives of thousands of AFL mem bers and sank hundreds of mer- chant ships.
 STRIKES-Contrary to the cam paign of abuse carried on against labor during the war, losses due to work stoppages averaged less than 1/10th of 1 per cent of time put in by the nations workers on the job during the war. And even those insignificant losses were more than made up by toll on legal holidays.
 MANPOWER-America virtually scraped the bottom of the barrel to secure needed workers for indus try and the armed forces. Millions of housewives took war jobs. Vast numbers of workers were provided through facilities of unions, which time and again sent members thou sands of miles to break manpoWer bottlenecks, as for example, in the gigantic atomic bomb project.
 PRODUCTIVITY-Efficiency of workers in munitions industries leaped 72 per cent during the war; on the railroads by even more.
 ARMED FORCES-Three million union men entered the military services, including 100000 from the railroads and quarter million in

the CIO Tool and Die Workers.

Federal officials, however, were
not optimistic there would be early
settlement of the GIN strike. There
was some fear the stoppage might

Steel Strike Threatened.
Even more serious industrial
