sentative, Clinton Golden, chair
man of the CIO Veterans Com
mittee, and the Legion's National
Commander Schieberling. AFL,
CIO and Railroad Brotherhoods
officials were among the speak
ers who addressed the con-
ference.
In addition to the attack on
Fenlon's sabotage of their meet
ing the Union Legionnaires ex-
pressed further distaste for anti
labor and anti-liberal activities
and policies within the Legion's
officialdom. The recent appoint
ment of Homer Chaillaux, for
mer chairman of the Legion's
Americanism Committee, to a
newly created job with the Cali
fornia State Legion Department
came in for heavy, but off-the-
record, criticism.

The Union Legionnaires,
among other resolutions adopted
at their Chicago meeting, de-
manded that the Legion retract
the resolution which it adopted
at its 1914 national convention
endorsing Gen. Hershey's "su-
perseniority' Interpretation of
1904.
Other resolutions called for:
Issuance of Legion charters to
Negro posts; extension of pub
lie education and health features
of the CT Bill of Rights; a re-
quest by the Legion for an effec-
tive Congressional investigation
of the Veterans Administration;
endorsement of the full employ
ment program; approval of Bret
ton Woods; a program of appren-
tice training for veterans; pay
raises for post office employees;
and continued action to expose
native American fascists.
The following officers were
reelected. by the Natl. Confer
ence of Union Legionnaires:

memorial to the late President.
It is no easy matter for any
one, particularly an adult to
overcome the crippling after
effects of infantile paralysis.
Mr.. Roosevelt after many
months of treatment was able
to overcome sore of the raw
ages of polio, y2', re was hope
lessly crippled in his lower
limbs. Despite his handicap,
he went on to become the head
of our nation and guided it
through its most trying times,
through economic, political
and military crises.
We of the CIO in erecting
the wading pool for the Grip
pied children feel that it may
become a part of combina-
ton of curative agents in CIV
ing youngsters a chance to
reach the point where they too
will be able to rise above their
infirmities and go on to be-
come useful citizens. We have
hopes that this pool once built
will become as much of an in
spiration to those who will
use it, as it is to those who
conceived the idea and those
who are making its realization
possible.

R. J. Thomas
Warns Of
DefIation

COLUMBUS, May 31-De-
claring that the nation is now
in a period of deflation and
that Congress must act at
once to prevent a serious un-
employment problem, R. j.
Thomas, President of the worlds
largest international n i o n +,
UAW-CIO told Columbus, O.,
audience this week that labor
itself must take the initiative.
II say to you" said Thomas,
1--WE are going to have to rally
our people now, or we are going
to have thousands of unemployed
workers throughout the country.
In Detroit alone today we have
thousands who are out of work,
and we still are restricted by
manpower controls"
Thomas said that he had re-
Gently visited government agen-
cies in Washington, discovering
that no agency seemed to have
an answer to the threat of un-
employment during the recon-
version period. He took sharp
exception to the WPB order per-
hitting manufacture of 100000
autos in the next year.
II think" he said, auto pro-
duction can be greatly increased
because many large plants have
a backlog of steel What has
happened to all the steel that
was to be used in the shipyards?
Ford's steel mill in Detroit is
operating at 20 percent capacity,
and when asked why not 100
percent, they answered man
power shortagew
The UAW President pointed
out that the monopoly control
of Ford, GM, and Chrysler, pre-
vented man like Henry Kaiser
from taking over the Willow
Run plant and put out a really
economical car. He concluded
with a final plea for all Union
members to write their Con-
gressmen, insisting on imme-
diate action in solving the prob
lens of reconversion.

Mr.. Reuther announced that

BowIes Statement Backfires
Attempts to blame the sugar
shortage on the nations house
wives backfired this week, after
OPA administrator Bowles is
sued statement harshly criticiz-
ing what he called a home can
ming sugar racket" The OPA
last year rationed 100000 tons
of sugar more than it should
have allowed, according to a
House Food Investigating Com
mittee report. About half of
this government sources indi-
cate, went not to housewives,
but to soft drinks manufacturers,
candy makers, and other indus
trial users.
The leak to industrial users
was caused by several fast moves
by lame duck administrators,
who in the final hours of their
OPA authority issued orders in
creasing industrial quotas.
When rentiss Brow
known in the Senate as one of
the sugar Senators" with some
interest in the sugar beet indus
try of Michigan, left as OPA ad-
ministrator, one of his last acts
was to up the industrial quota to
900 of the prewar base period.
This was discovered by OPA ad-
ministrator Bowles, who never
theless kept the quota at 500 in
the first quarter of 1914.
OPA's sugar rationing system
last year, labor people here as
sert, was an invitation to use
canning sugar literally. There
was stamp in every book avail
able for obtaining canning sugar,
there was no check on the use of
sugar obtained with the stamp,
and no campaign to explain to
consumers that there would be a
shortage if such sugar was used
indiscriminately.

here last week, during the

These rare OLD prints are not
easy TO come by. Most are
taken out of books. the prints

sionally il is possible TO buy the
entire book to look through and
enjoy. But most OF the time
one finds a print here and
print there.
Harry Galloway of New York

Gives Away the Text

What can a gardener get from

says a knowledge Of the older
forms of flowers from which
many of our modern types nave
been derived.
In the text accompanying the
prints are many line drawings
Of old garden designs, bits of
which may be used for our gar
denS. When Mr.. Galloway splits
a book for its prints he gives
away the teXt-So some lucky
gardener gets a fund OF old hor-
ticultural lore.
Asked if his conscience didn't
hurt him when he broke up
precious volume, Mr.. Galloway
said it did every time, but he
Stifcd it because he thought
that il was far more important
for twenty-odd people TO enjoy
the prints from a volume than
for one person to own the entire
book.
