the AFL dedicated the song Rod ger Young"
 To the people of the world who took part in the great struggle against faSciSm, the men and wo- men of the United Nations, the AFL sang the Song of the United Ma tions." And in honor of the man who did not live to see the day of final victory over the enemy, but who had so we'll earned the right to see it, the AFL presented selec- ton from Ballad for FDR." The program closed with a song depict ing what we've all been fighting Ifor-democracy. Freedom for all people, regardless of race, color or religion. A song about a. flag, certain word democracy, but "es- pecially the people that's democra- cy to me" The title of the song; "The House I Live in" Don't for get it for your record collectionD
 As a special feature to show what VI Day means to the millions of AFL workers in the ARMED FOR CES, on Wednesday, August 27th, the AF of L presented through its SUB RADIO program 'The G. I. l Speaks" As our editor-in-chief, Rowland Bishop expressed it, We have all made big plans for our returning heroes but tonight we are going to let the C.. I.s speak for themselves through three poems that have appeared in recent edi- tions of the SUB. The words are not those of any one Service man, but are the thoughts and feelings expressed in letters to our editors from men in the service"
 These poems, "Just Guy in Foxl1ole," which tells the story of the G. I. in a Foxhole and what his thoughts are of the final return home, of his dread that the same fate awaits him that awaited his father and his final challenge to Labor to WIN THE WAR AGAINST UNEMPLOYMENT; Eternal Bro- therhood" (appearing in this edi- tion) which tells the reaction of the c. I. in Europe, who is prepar- ing to embark for further war man.

Labor Day Statement
BvH STRUVE HENSEL Assistant Secretary of the Navy

The year which has passed since last Labor Day has been one of historic achievement for the great American team of workers and fighters. Their efforts, combined with that of our Allies, have elim- mated the forces of aggression and barbariSm in Europe. They have also brought about the twilight of the same evil forces in Asia.
 More than one Nazi military leader has stated that American material superiority was just too much - striking tribute to the production lines of the United States. Thus the slogan adopted by American workers early in the war Free Labor Will Win" was not only proved, but proved up to the hilt
 The balance in the war against the worlds two most militarist1c nations, Germany and Japan, was tipped overwhelmingly in Allied favor by the weight of ships, mu- nitions and equipment poured out from our shipyards and factories. Through three and half years of this terrible war, American work CTS have stood steadfastly by their machines and tools as our fighting men have stood by their guns. The undertaking support of our soldiers of production has been mighty bulwark in the fight for freedom.
 On this Labor Day, as we rejoice in the victories of our common toll and sacrifices, the Navy gratefully salutes the workers of the nation. Free labor assures ultimate victory!

Letters to inc Editor
AMERICAN RED CROSS National Headquarters
 Washington 13, D. c,

Washington Is, ID. C.
 August II, 1945 To the Editor of The Sub: had hoped long before this to let you know that I personally, as we'll as other members of our staff at Red Cross National Headquar-> ters, very much appreciated the support which you provided us during our 1945 War Fund cam- paign last March in the columns of The Sub.
 Our $2OO,0OO,OO goal was over subscribed, and at National Head quarters we have no doubt that the support which American editors gave us had much to do with this splendid success. Again our heart- felt thanks.
 Sincerely yours,

Buv More Bonds Now

We can think of at least twelve million
reasons, the men in armed forces, why
people should buy Victory Bonds. And II
you have not bought all that you can, cele-
brate victory anew by purchasing a few
more.
Remember a Victory Bond is not only
the soundest investment in the world, but
is an expression of real appreciation tor
Victory and Peace, for what the millions
of men have done to bring it about for
those who paid the supreme sacrifice, for
those who were wounded and suffered I'M
told hardships, for the blood and sweat and
tears for peace that has been won but must
be kept, and for the maintenance OF our
way of life.
Your share in the Victory Loan is all
that you can possibly invest in Victory and
Peace. Let your conscience be your guide
Buy additional Victory Bonds Now!

Up In Smoke

Even in normal times, uncontrolled fire
takes heavy toll of our human and ply
steal resources. During the war, fire men
aced the security of our armed forces. In
peace it menaces the security of the worker
Individual responsibility and the united
effort of all fire fighting agencies are neces-
sary to control this ever present danger.
There have already been many disas-
trous postwar fires in industrial plants.
Everyone is concerned with this because
fires deprave workers of jobs, and the pri-
mary objective of the American people in
days ahead will be employment and pro-
duction.
The record of vital statistics shows that
on an average, 10000 persons lose their
lives each year in fires. And many times
that number suffer incapacitating or pain
full burns and injuries~ Seven thousand of
these deaths occur in homes where more
than 100000 were reported last year The
victims of these home fires are largely
women and children.
During the last IL months, America
burned $444, 225, 900 worth of property-the
highest fire loss in IL years. This huge
accumulation of buildings and goods was
wasted at time when the world is crying
for all kinds of food, clothing, building
materials and commodities of every kind
While striving to conserve resources for
produce and supply the products for our
men as well as other nations, cur annual
bonfire consumed nearly half billion dol
lars in property.

Bonds For Roosevelt

In the Victory Loan, now underway
bond buyers have an opportunity to honor
the late President Roosevelt in distinctive
way by buying Roosevelt bond. 1t is par
ticularly fitting that bond should be dedl-
Gated to him in this Victory Loan, since it
was largely through his efforts and plan
ming that this nation achieved victory at
a date earlier than many predicted.
Looking at it in this light, every bond
purchaser in the Victory Loan honors MIR.
Roosevelt, for it is an expression of graft
tude for victory and an investment in
peace, for which he worked and died And
more than that it is an investment in our
government, "a government OF the people,
for the people and by the people," In his
own characteristic way, could the late
President see the way in which the Vic
tory Loan has started off, we believe ne
would say, cts simply grand"
What better way can we honor this
grand American today than to buy Victory
Bonds?

Back-To- The Land

Congress has set aside Is million dollars
to lend to veterans returning from the war,
for buying farms during the 1945-46 fiscal
year. Any veteran who has had experience
in farming, or can show that he has ability
to operate a suitable farm is held eligible
to apply for one of these loans. Loans to
veterans are subject to approval of COM
mittees of local farmers.
The Department of Agriculture offers
word of warning that successful farming
requires skill and experience and business
Judgment and cautions the would be
farmers to be careful about saddling them
selves with debt and farm that couldn't
be made to pay. These loans by the Gov
eminent, or through banking houses and
approved by the Government, should be
sufficient for work stock and farm ma
chinery essential for successful farming
operations, and needs Of a family. To aid
the new farmer the local Federal agent will
furnish every assistance and help to the
veteran, il. order to- make reasonably sure
he will be successful, and able to meet his
loans.

A Free Country

Something has happened on the labor
front that goes beyond employer-employee
controversies. Its effect on reconversion is
of minor Importance compared to the long
range possibilities. That something is the
resort to lawlessness by some nationwide
organizations calling themselves labor un-
ions, on scale that endangers law and
order as well as the economic system itself
A startling example comes to light in a
telegram from Standard Oil Company Qn-
diana) to the Secretary of Labor, Washing
ton, D. c. It says in part: ..~....s .,.o...
about three o'clock this morning many
groups of men (not our employes) who pro-
claimed themselves to be CLIO pickets, be-
gan appearing in the city of Whiting, Indi-
ana, and setting up road blocks to all
streets and highways leading to the STAN
dard Oil Company (Indiana) refinery. They
established lines of parked and locked cars
across the streets and highways with lines
of men in front of them. Officials of the
company and executives of the plant who
tried to reach the plant were stopped and
threatened with violence if they tried to
get through the blocks. Employees arriving
for the day shift were told that they could
not go to the plant and were given to I'm
derstand~ that they would be physically
assaulted if they attempted to do so. Some
actual physical violence has occurred.
Trucks were prevented from either ap-
proacing or leaving the plant and a block
ade OF locked automobiles was thrown
across the railway tracks on which tank
cars move in and out.

a contract with the Standard Oil EMPLOYEES
Association, Inc, and with the Research
