Of the Organization For Postwar Era

New York City.-The first full
fledged convention by major labor
organization since the end of the war
will be held by the International AS
sociation of Machinists here, begin
ming Oct. 20.
The convention of this large affil-
late of the American Federation of
Labor has been called at the earliest

fense Transportation, in order to
tackle urgent problems growing out

Secretary-T Treasurer of the union,
said.

gates of the 21st convention of the
57-year-old organization will show a

veal wide organization in the air
transport industry, where the first
agreements with the airlines provid-

conversion and will chart the course
Of the organization for the postwar
era. Before actions taken by the con-

Mr.. Peterson indicated that the
main problems of general public in

would be cut-backs in industry, re-
duction of take-home pay, the COM

shop crafts, and training and refrain

And End of Wage Controls

the operation of the free enterprise
system. They are ready to admit
that the American way of life is a
failure
'"The American Federation of La
Dor does not share these views. We
firmly believe that the way to estab-
lish industrial peace and stability is
to remove government control of
wages Immediately, instead of rein
forcing it."
The council warned that govern
ment policies designed to prevent in
flation already have resulted in de-
flation- sharp deflation of the in
come of the nations workers"
With wage earnings and take-home
pay dropping suddenly below subsis-
tence levels, it is no wonder that
strikes are taking place, the council
said.
Calling upon President Truman to
adopt a new course, the council in
sisted That wage controls can be ll1ted
while price control and rent control
are continued until peacetime produc-
tion and construction are expanded to
meet public demands.
Wage rates should be permitted
"to rise to their proper level through
the free exercise of collective bar
gaining, the council emphasized. 1t
also urged that business be encour-
aged to keep prices down through the
operation of normal competition.
"Mr. Green said that because of
new and cheaper methods of produc-
tion and because of higher labor pro-
ductivity, industry for the most part
can afford to pay higher wage rates
without lifting consumer prices"

Veterans Warned
Against Swindlers

Veterans are warned against the le-
gion of swindlers who look upon the
returned soldier as an easy mark, by
William Trufant Foster in the 32-page
pamphlet, GYPS AND SWINDLES,
published today by the Public Affairs
Committee of New York.
"Many soldier has in his pockets
his back pay, plus travel expenses
home, plus part of his mastering out
pay :. Soldiers and sailors and their
families have more than thirty billion
dollars in war bonds, plus enormous
savings in banks, plus the privilege,
under the CT Bill of Rights, of having
loans up to $4,000 guaranteed by the
government"
"Never before" Dr. Foster points
out, shave swindlers seen so much
money almost within their grasp"
Veterans, as we'll as others-''for let
no man fancy that he is safe from gyp
scheme" warned by this new
Public Affairs Pamphlet to watch out
for such swindles as partnership rae
kets, territorial rights" for a patented
product, fake schools, and the planta-
tion racket that promises a life of
ease on the income from "your golden
orange grove"
Apparently we like to be fooled, for
gyps and swindles mulct the public
of more than hundred million dol
lars year, we are told.
Of the more than five hundred
frauds that the Better Business Bu-
reaus have run down, DR.. Foster ex-
plains some of the most popular and
most "effective": repair rackets, door
to-door deceivers, lucky charms, tricky
advertising, illegal money lending, get
rich-quick schemes ranging from fur
farms to oil gushers, and "still more
ways of losing your money"
One by one, the danger signs are
pointed out on the many advertised
roads to health, riches, and big bar
gains"

AFL President William Green told
newsmen at a press conference that
the Executive Council intends to for
mulate a plan that will reduce strikes
to minimum. He indicated that
this plan will be submitted to the
Forthcoming labor industry conference
by the AFL delegates to that parley.
Mr.. Green also revealed that the
Executive Council had reaffirmed it's
decision of last August to forego a
national convention this year. While
the governments ban on conventions
has been lifted since the last council
meeting, the AFL leaders decided it
would be impossible to make arrange
ments and obtain accommodations for
a convention before the year ends.
Therefore, the next AFL convention
will take place in October of 1946.
In it's statement on the NWLB, the
council declared that the board had
outlived its usefulness, that its au-
thority had been weakened almost
to the vanishing point and that new
legislation would be needed to give
it's decisions force and effect now.
"Such legislation, said the coun-
ell, "would usher in another perioC

 The jurist, who told the newly admitted citizens what their new status means, made frequent com- parison of the comforts of home to life on the war fronts.
 The oath was administered by Superior Court Clerk James E. Mc- Knight, after the list of candidates was presented to the court by Will fred E. Diamond, examiner from the Hartford naturalization office.
 One of the petitioners Rosa Maria Rinaldi, was given permission to change her name. The court grant, ed request to change her first name to Dora. Eleven persons who had been notified to appear were not present.
 In greeting the class, Judge Me- Evoy stated, This was difficult morning for people to travel and no doubt all of you had more or less trouble in coming here, but when you got here you found nice warm comfortable place and you found officials of the court who welcomed you and tried, and apparently suc- ceeded in making you comfortable"
 Later he said, Naturally many of you who sit here this morning have relatives in the service. This morning when they got up, if they weren't fighting all night long, they had no warm or comfortable rooms in which to be received . &. They are fighting against all the horrors which human ingenuity can devise. They had no choice. They went where they were told to go and in the manner in which they were told to go, and they had no time to consider the difficulty confronting them. Each one of them was re- quired to act in accordance with discipline and duty"
 "Is it too much to expect" he con- tinued, "that we in our comfort should have less respect for the preservation of our government, which is our own preservation, than those who are even giving up their lives toward that end?"
 In speakinf of the dicipline and duties involved in citizenship he SJHl6u, HIS uOto uOI lICoLl GlIdV you are to dismiss from your minds your early traditions which were good, but it means that you are to discipline yourselves and devote your whole attention to the matters now before you"
 Judge McEvoy stated, This is a day when it is essential and im- portant that everyone who becomes citizen should bear in mind that by assumption of citizenship there is cast upon him heavy and bur densome duty which cannot be escaped. That consists in one measure of the duty or obligation to live the life of a good citizen |. |. but it goes beyond the written laws and involves the principal of act ing toward others as you would have them act toward you"
