Chicago-Labor rallied the nation
for an all-out effort to win the peace
the moment the fighting ended.
In the midst of rejoicing over the
official announcement of VJ-Day, the
Executive Council issued a solemn
warning that peace may bring misery
to the American people within the
next few months.
Pointing the way for action to
speed rapid postwar recovery, the AFL
leaders offered the following "must"
program:
1. Speed up reconversion to the
limit.
2. Give highest priority to expan-
sion of peacetime production.
3. Increase wage rates to provide
vitality necessary purchasing power
and to prevent impairment of living
standards.
A. Raise unemployment compensation
in line with President Truman's emer-
gency. recommendations to Congress.
5. Lift minimum wage floor to 65
cents an hour Immediately and rs
cents within 3 years.
6. Restore free collective bargain
ing Immediately, as the National War
Labor Board prepares to go out of
existence.
7. End wartime government control
over labor and industry promptly.
8. Halt further inductions into arm
ed forces.
9. Bring service men and women now
overseas home as quickly as possi-
BILE.
10. Encourage the launching of a
new housing program and all other
measures which would reduce the dan
ger of widespread unemployment.
AFL President William Green said:
"War contracts are being Cancelled
all over the nation. Factories are shut
ting down. Unemployment is bound to
become serious. Some government
agencies estimate it may reach a
total of 5000, 900 within a few months
'sThe American Federation of La
bor is fearful that unemployment
may become more serious than anyone
anticipates and that it may extend
longer than can be risked with safety
to the nation.
"Our country is shockingly unpre.
pared to meet the crisis.

erican Federation Of Labor wishes te
emphasize the tremendous importance

"There is evidence of delay and pro-

in dealing with reconversion problems
A new spirit and a new policy must

In formal statement the Executive
Council before adjourning it's summer
session, expressed labop's joy in vic

The statement concluded:
Congress should move at once to
provide for human needs during re-
conversion and to take such measures
as will encourage and aid private in
dustry to expand production and pro-
vide jobs for all within a reasonable
period.
"For it's own part, the American

tribution to make to the postwar re-

Atom Bomb Ends War, Says Green
Sees Future Benefits To Humanity
Says New Weapon Should End All Future Wars and That
Atomic Power Be Used for Benefit Not Destruction

Chicago.-Labor's views on the new
atomic bomb were expressed by AFL
President William Green in nation
wide radio address over the Ameri-
can Broadcasting Company network.
Mr.. Green declared that the new
weapon should end all future wars and
that atomic power should be utilized
in the future for the benefit Of hu-
manity, instead of destructive pur-
poses. The text of his radio talk fol-
lows:
American labor, which played a
vital role in the successful develop
ment Of the atomic bomb as an in
strument Of military destruction, is
keenly interested in the plans of
science for Harvesting the power of
the atom to peacetime industry after
victory is won.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-08-24

Shocked as we are by the terrible
and devastating effect of this new ex-
plosive, we cannot help thinking that
it will eventually prove great bless
ing to humanity.
"For nothing is better calculated to
prevent future wars than the knowl-
edge Of the common people in every
nation of the world that now warfare
may mean total annihilation. No die
tator in the years to come will be able
to persuade his people to chance that
kind of retribution for aggression.
"The assurance Of lasting peace will
give science, labor and industry a glo-
rious opportunity to put the mighty
resources of the atom to work for the
constructive benefit of mankind. The
power to destroy can and must be
transformed to the power to build.
1T requires no exaggerated stretch
of the imagination to visualize the
tremendous economic revolution which
the development Of atomic power may
accomplish in the future. The discov-
cry Of how electricity could be applied
to improve the lives Of human beings
and tighten their labors may become
insignificant beside this new and epo-
schal scientific achievement.
Zone thing is certain--the use Of
atomic power must be controlled so
as not to enrich and strengthen the

be allowed to get out of hand. Amer
lea still has vitality important job to
do-to win the peace!"
Mr.. Green announced that the Exc
cutive Council expected President Tru-
man to issue call for postwar labor
industry conference for the purpose of
maintaining stable labor relations and
preventing strikes.
The Executive Council, he said,
agreed that the American Federation
of Labor would participate in such a
conference when called.
1t was recalled that the War Labor
Board was set up as result of the
bor-industry conference called by
President Roosevelt shortly after
Pearl Harbor.
The purposes of the new conference
will be to reach agreement on setup
to provide for the disposition of thou
sands of pending cases now awaiting
decision by the WLB and the develop
ment Of facilities by which new indus
trial problems can be settled under the
Wage Sterilization Act of 1912, which
does not expire until six months after
the war.
Even more fundamentally important
would be decision by the conference
to terminate the existence of the War
Labor Board and restore free collec-
tive bargaining.

3 Presidents in Position
To Pick Their Successors

Until 1885, a law provided that
when the presidency of the United
States was left vacant by one who
had succeeded to it from the vice
presidency, the Office was to be as
sumed temporarily by the presi-
dent of the senate for the sole pur-
pose Of ordering a new election,
says Golfers.
Since 1886, when a new law ex-
tended the succession to cabinet
members beginning with the Sec
rotary of state, three Presidents
have been in position to name
their successor in case Of their
death-Theodore Roosevelt, Coo
lidge and Truman.

1900 Deaths Can
Be Eliminated in
Agricultural Areas

Farmers and their wives and
children, as rule, are too busy
producing food for wartime Ameri-
ca to have any time to go hunting
for danger and death.
Nevertheless, government safety
officials declare, back home on the
farm is far from being the safest
place in the world to live.
Trouble is, safety engineers point
out, that accidents don't wait for
people to go looking for them. They
just happen. And they happen most
ly to people - like farmers who
are too busy doing an important job
to think about how to avoid acct
dents.
Calling attention to Americas con-
tinuing need for the skill and labor
of her farmers, President Truman
said:
81 urge farm people everywhere
to observe National Farm Safety
week by making safety check in
their homes and on their farms +. {.
/ request all persons and organiza-
tons concerned with agriculture
and farm life to do everything in
their power to educate farm people
in the proper precautions by which
they may eliminate farm hazards"
President Truman has proclaimed
July % to % as National Farm
Safety week.
Burns usually rank second in i'm
portance on the farm home accident
list. Causes include careless smok-
ing, the use of kerosene in start
ing kitchen fires, placing pans Of
boiling liquid too close to the edge
of a kitchen stove, as well as many
other instances of haste or care
lessness, or both.
Records show that if parents

National Farm Safety Week Making
Effort 10 Reduce Heavy Loss Burden

S. Goss, master Of the National
Grange.
President Truman's suggestion
that farm people make a safety
check in their homes and on their
farms, if followed, will be the great
est single step that can be taken to-
ward reducing accidents on the
farm" Maynard H. Coe, director
of the farm division of the National
Safety council, said.
He pointed out that the councils
farm accident records, taken from
states that keep a file of statistics
on farm nishaps, clearly indicate
the types of accidents which should
be attacked first in any personal
check-up.
Falls Most Common.
The records show, for example,
that falls occur in the farm home
far more frequently than any other
type of accident. Such things as clut-
tered stairways, unsound ladders,
badly lighted Railways - all of
which can be corrected by good
housekeeping - are major hazards.
Away from the farm, traffic acct
dents are the most serious men
ace for farm people. 1t is expected
that a serious problem will arise
on the highway when traffic again
hits the peak of prewar years, and
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1945-07-20

and poisons are out of reach of their
children, accidents to children in
the farm home will be considerably
reduced.
Among leading causes of work ac-
cidents on the farm is the improper
use of farm machinery. Knives,
belts, pulleys, gears and the like
are necessarily part of farm ma
chinery. The greatest caution should
always be exercised in order to OPP
crate them without accident to the
person.
Improper handling Of animals
causes many farm work accidents.
While bulls are the cause of many
serious injuries, the greatest num-
Der of accidents due to care
less handling of animals is caused
by horses, records show.
Pledge Of Cooperation.
Falls are also high on the list of
farm work accidents. Better house
keeping methods in the farm
yard, the barn and other farm
buildings can materially reduce the
number Of accidents attributable to
falls.
Among farm leaders who have
pledged their cooperation in the
work of National Farm Safety week
are Edward S. O'Neal, president of
the American Farm bureau fedora
ton; James G. Patton, president of
the National Farmers Union, and A.
