This survey, McNutt declared, was "misinterpreted" as a move to give preference to officers on jobs. No such motive was behind the plan, he insisted.
 Fenton, in his reply to the G. Is at Okinawa, enclosed a copy of McNutt's explanatory statement and added that the A. F. of L. will fight for the principles con- tained on your letter"
 Will Stay on Guard
 You can be assured also that as a member of the labor-man- agement committee, I will care fully watch any actions designed to show favoritism to officers" he said. "The A. F. of L. will fight to the last ditch in this respect"
 Fenton stressed that promotions in military service were due 10 many factors and that officers were not necessarily qualified for superior jobs in industry.
 Tn many instances, the educa- ton and experience of enlisted men surpass that of their officers" he declared.
 Please express to all co-auth- ors of your letter." Fenton added in his reply to Private Vallely, that if there is any discrimination when they return to the States, they should call at my office and I will assure them we will fight for them with all the energy we possess"

2OOC. I.'s On OkinauUd Take Grievances to 4. F. of Labor Appeals to Organized Labor to Help Soldier
 to Get as Good Treatment Officers; FentOns PrOmp
 Reply

c. I. Joe knows where to carry< his appeal when he has grievances regarding his peacetime status in industry.
 That was demonstrated this week when over 200 soldiers on Okina- wa, where thousands died to drive out the Japs, did the extraordinary thing of writing q round-robin let ter to the American Federation of Labor asking for help to give G. Is a square deal on jobs at home.
 Four pages of signatures, headed up by Private First Class J. s. Va!- lely, were appended to the letter.
 What aroused the Okinawa fight ing men was the publication of re- ports that the War Manpower Con- mission was giving demobilized of- icers "the first crack at the best jobs available on the home front, to the detriment of enlisted men.
 Stories to that effect were car- ried recently by newspapers in this country, and reprinted in Army publications overseas. G. Is Init the ceiling" when they read the story.
 Go to Right Place
 More than 200 in Okinawa de- cided the best place to lodge protest and to get action on it was the labor movement. In their let ter to the A. F. of L. they declared the reputed w. M. c. directive would discriminate against the enlisted man and betray the Amer ican tradition of equality of man by denying him the right to com- pete with officers for jobs on a basis of individual merit
 What conclusion can you draw but that the real purpose of all this is to assure that the officer class will be able to continue to hold the reins over the enlisted men in civilian life as it did in military" the letter declared. "We feel that this constitutes . treacherOus blow to our de- mOcracy and to the sacred tra- ditiOns of maintaining the equal rights of man.
 We place our trust in you to deal with it in manner that will eliminate any such inSidiouS threats against the principles for which we have fought. We are confident that you will.'' FentOn Goes to Bat Frank Fenton, A. F. of L. direc- tor of organization and member of the Manpower Commissions la- encouragement policy committee, ] immediately went to the bottom of the affair. From Paul ". McNutt. w. M. c. director, he received word that the w. M. c. contem- plated no such favoritism as indi- cated In the news stories. What gave rise to the reports, McNutt said, was a memorandum sent out to the commissions field offices, asking for information on jobs that officers might fill. The material obtained was to be em- bodied in pamphlet to match one already put out for enlisted men.

working man will never get ahead until he looks ahead for himself and organizes 100%6. In organized labor and organized labor alone can the worker ever hope to gain the things he has hoped for!
 Organized labor has been going ahead by leaps and bounds for the past thirty years, but unOrganized labor is right where it was fifty years ago.
 One year from now it will be the same old story the non-union man will be begging for work, and will be forced to work for few cents per hour!
 Join your locals now and be pre- pared to be placed on some other job as soon as your services are no longer needed here. Don't wait un- til you are forced to join because you can not find a job. That is the time you will not have the money to join as that will be the time your initiation fee will be large.

Due to reasons that are beyond my control will be obliged to dis continue this column after this iS- sue. I am spending all the spare time have from this date on to do all in my power to make our Boil ermaker's local 8 real local, local that we have been working for for a long time. A local that the boys in this plant should be proud to be- long to. We have a good contract now that is good until 1947, a good grievance procedure, a damn good lot of honest working stewards, and expert and are almost sure the WLB will give us the raise in our pay we are asking for so what is holding us back, only one thing and that is the man that has not joined up in the union with us. How does this non-union man fit into labor today? He doesn't fit In at all and the union men haven't any use for him. He is looked upon as the kind of man that wants all for nothing, a man that even his boss cares little for and will give him the works the first time he gets the chance. Be wise join in with your fellow work CTS and don't walk down the street and have the man that works by your side say there goes one of the men that made it so hard for us to get our contract signed If we had a few more like him we would never have got contract at all. For the man that is afraid to join the union becuse he Is afraid he will loose his job (and we have many of those men) read the column facts for the workers. That column gives you the true facts for the workers. That column gives you the true facts right from Wash ington, D. C. After reading that column for a few weeks you will see that you can not loose your job because you have joined un- ion. A good union man is more sure of his job than non union man, because he has the union fighting for him at all times. If you non- union men want more information than you have been able to get, look up any steward and he will gladly help you to understand the things you do not understand at this time.
 Any questions you want to ask drop the question to me in care of the union office, and I will answer the questions in these columns. Don't be afraid to ask the questions and ask plenty of them. The more you ask, the better like it. This will be the third time I have asked you to send in your questions in the past two years, but I never get any one that will send questions in to me. Just for a change send some questions in, give me few good

Garden Hints

Home gardeners who grew cauli- flower and endive this summer and those who still insist on white celery-Should open their bleach ing campaigns within the next few days, says A. E. Wilkinson, veget- able specialist of the Agricultural Extension Service, University of Connecticut.
 These vegetables usually sell bet ter on the market after they are bleached. Recently, however, many people have swung to the green pascal celery which has more vita min A and better flavor than it's lily-white counterpart.
 Three weeks of bleaching is the commercial requirement for celery, but most home gardeners will be satisfied with one week or none at all, says Prof. Wilkinson. Shut out the sunlight by covering the stalks with boards, paper or soil. If wood is used, stand 12-inch boards on either side of the row, and hold them in place with stakes or wire staples. Twelve-inch sheets of paper will also prove satisfactory. Push soil against the base of the paper or wooden covering.
 Soil blanching of celery is prac- tical only in October. Mound earth gradually against the sides of each row, completing the process In about ten days.
 CauliflOwer
 To obtain the dazzling white color prized by cauliflower growers, protect the heads early in their growth from rain and sunlight, Prof. Wilkinson advises. Some strains have self-covering charac- teristics, but in most cases it is necessary to draw the outside leaves over the developing curd and fasten them with string or raffia. Use different colors to in- dicate plants are first tied and should be first harvested. Endive
 I' When the endive plant is about fifteen inches in diameter, gather all of the leaves over the head and tie them together. Home garden CTS should blanch the heads few at a time and from to ? days each. Rot will result from prolonged cov- ering.
