their aprons could be sent to the
laundry at the firms expense. This
has since been discontinued, due to
the war.
Before the labor shortage the firm
employed a janitor in the green room
and bisque kilnshed. He would use a
large vacuum cleaner that would
draw the clay and sand from the floor.
Occasionally he would oil the floors
which proved a very good way to
keep the dust down He would also
empty the scrap box.
Many of these things had to be dis
continued because of the labor short
age, but we hope to continue these
practices in the near future.
In one of the departments where
the ventilation was poor, large fan
was installed. A laboratory was spe-
cially built for this health work, and
dust counts are taken every Friday
by our technician. These counts are
then checked by the state and also the
insurance company every six months.
We have found that without these
dust counts it is impossible to locate
the danger spots.
These things are told merely in a
constructive manner and not in a
boastful way as we have many things
yet to accomplish and are greatly
handicapped owing to the shortage of
help.
In the past few weeks two of our
members have passed away. William
Hauserman and Robert Dawson. Our
sincere sympathy is extended to their
families.
Local rs will change their meeting
place to Fredro hall, located on the
corner of Fredro and Clinton streets.
We will meet in our new hall the first
Friday in February and as it is cen
trally located, we are looking forward
to a good turnout.-O. c. rs.

agreement, why not abide by 1t!
We have read with interest of the
progressive work that is being ac-
complished by the Health Committee
of Local Union No. 76 at Buffalo,
and it is hoped that our members
throughout the trade will read and
profit by the things that will develop
concerning better and cleaner shops.
The Health Committee of Local rs
is to be highly commended for their
undertaking and | am sure it will
pay high dividends to their members
by way of better health. However, |
wish to call attention to a grave and
wholly wrong suggestion made in a
previous letter to the trade whereby
the committee informs the members
that they are awaiting a supply of
push brooms, the same to be used IN
sweeping UP the dust around their
respective benches.
As stated in the forepart of this
letter the U.S.PA. granted the above
request proposed by the N. B. of O..
P. as a health measure, recognizing
the inhalation of dust as a menace
and detrimental to the health of their
employees, and was recognized as a
job which had to be done after regu-
lar working hours by sweeper sup
piled with respirator to protect him
from the dust menace.
At time when we are attempting
to eliminate dust during working
hours, the Committee suggested that
the firm furnish brooms or brushes
to its employees so that each one can
sweep his place of employment when
ever that person completes his or her
work for the day. This means that
those who must remain will have to
inhale the floor dust and will even
tually turn up with either silicosis or
tuberculosis. In the best interest of
the members throughout the trade
we hope no one working under the
agreement will resort to sweeping
during working hours.
If we intend to eradicate silicosis
which is so prevalent among those
who work in departments where there
is dust present, we must do every
thing possible to eliminate as far as
possible, enemy No. l, which is dust
itself, and if we cease sweeping while
others are working we will be doing
the very thing we are striving for
better health and a cleaner air to
breathe while working.-O. c. A.

help their wounded "buddies" reha-
bilitate themselves, are finding 1t
difficult to gain the opportunity of
doing so. 1t is quite possible some
method may be found to solve the
nurse shortage without resorting to
the draft. Americans are not en-
thusiastic over copscripting women.
There is also the question of consti-
tutionality of a law drafting one
group simply because they happen to
have chosen a certain profession.
New Army-Navy Policy Gives
Mont Combat Duty
In recognition of the sacrifice and
contribution made by a family which
has lost two or more sons and has
only one surviving, the War and Navy
Departments have announced policy
of returning to or retaining in the
continental United States the sole
surviving son of family, except
where the surviving son is engaged
in non-hazardous duty overseas. APP
plication for such assignment should
be made by the son and family, and
each case will be decided upon its
individual merits.
New Process To Cut And Mold Glass
At the New York Electrical So
ciety last week announcement was
made Of new process that molds,
cuts and drills glass as readily as
machine tools cut steel. The process
called multiform, uses an electronic
current or beam to heat section
which is to be softened. The glass
around remains hard and almost cool.
This new process gets rid of one Of
the great handicaps of the past, by
which it was difficult to use glass in
union with other materials.

Defense League
Will Fight Labor
Drdft Proposed
Would Mean Loss OF
Essential Liberties

New York City 1LNS).-A point
by point reply to arguments for a
labor draft, combined with declara-
tion that adoption of labor draft by
Congress is unlikely" was made pub
lie here by Sal. B. Hoffman, president
of the Upholsterers' international
Union, AFL, and Samuel B. Eubanks,
executive vice president, American
Newspaper Guild, CIO, in their
capacities as co-chairmen of the Free
Labor Committee of the Workers De-
fense League.
The union chiefs said passage of a
labor draft would mean acceptance
of the labor baiters' major premise,
that home front labor has not been
doing it's share and could do more If
forced"
The Free Labor Committee, which
includes church, civic, labor and lib
eral leaders, is circulating from its
national offices at 112 East 10Th St.,
New York, 8, leafet against labor
draft, entitled, Are 63,000,0O0 Amer
leans Slackers ?"
Rev. Aron S. Gilmartin, national
chairman of the Workers Defense
League, in a reply to the Presidents
message to Congress, said, "The
Presidents call for a labor draft is a
victory for Hitler. Free labor is al
ways stronger than forced labor. We
shall lose that strength if Congress
passes any labor draft proposal. We
shall at the same time lose essential
liberties which have made America so
different from the totalitarian ma
tions.
"The Workers Defense League will
continue its resistance to labor draft
proposals because the principle of a
draft is totalitarian, and because we
are convinced that production can be
achieved with planning, whereas
coercion breeds strife"
The statement of Hoffman, and
Eubanks said:
eve believe that, as Rev. James
Myers, industrial secretary of the
Federal Council of Churches, who is
a member of our Free Labor Com
mittee, has said, adoption of a labor
draft in America would constitute a
big step toward the Nazi and fascist
concept of compulsory labor. 1t has
been the proud experience of America
that their labor-because it is free
labor-turns out he highest produc-
ton in the world

ber of the committee which prepared
the petition.
The petition called for the creation
by Congress of a national commission
of citizens to gather facts regarding
the need for and possible operation of
such peacetime conscription in the
United States. The petition was
drawn up by the Councils Committee
on Youth Problems, of which Henry
l. Hartman, vice-chairman of the
New England Power Association of
Boston, is chairman. Other members
are leaders in labor, religious, and
educational organizations.
"The people of this nation have not
yet seriously considered the total i'm
plications for peacetime of the pro-
posals for compulsory military train
ing," said DR.. Zook. "Only fragmen-
tary evidence regarding the need and
operation of such program is now
available. Information as to the long
experiences of European and Asiatic
nations with conscription should be
made generally available to the citi-
zens of this country before the matter
comes to vote, and while the argu-
ments of the military departments
should be given most careful con-
sideration, the final decision must re-
fleet the mature thought of the civ
ilians of the United States. That is
an American tradition which must be
maintained.
Referring to the argument that
young men will receive many benefits
from a year of military training, DR..
Zook pointed out that the petition to
the President urged that compulsory
military training be considered in
terms of national defense only, and
not as a panacea for social def
ciences.
Improved physical condition of our
youth, vocational training, discipline
and character education, and the
elimination of illiteracy, are sound
goals for a nation, but they can and
should be attained through our ira
ditional civilian agencies" he said.
DIR. Zook said that the petition of
the committee had been referred in
formally to a number of other organ
izations which had either endorsed it
or adopted similar proposals. Those
included the American Federation Of
Labor, the National Congress of Par
ents and Teachers, the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches of Christ in America,
the National Cotholic Welfare Con
ference.

FROM CAPITOL HILL
By CONGRESSMAN EARL r. LEWIS

Addressing the u. S. Senate last
Wednesday, Arthur Fl. Vandenberg,
Republican Of Michigan, candidly de-
scribed the differences between the
Allied Nations which have been so
apparent and embarrassing in recent
weeks, and proposed that the United
States commit itself now to an or
ganization with these Allies for the
express purpose of permanently, con-
clusively and effectively disarming
Germany and Japan" Certainly Sena-
tor Vandenberg has pointed out the
one fact with which the entire Allied
World can agree. Coming at time
when there are distinct murmurings
of disappointment and bewilderment
from the American People over our
lack Of foreign policy, the Senator's
speech has received wide attention
and much favorable comment. 1t will
be interesting to see whether or not
the President and his lieutenants will
recognize merit in proposal which
in this particular, seems to show the
way out of thetangled mess in which
we and our Allies find ourselves.
Review OF Agricultural Deferments
The recent Presidential order re-
quiring Selective Service Boards 10
review all agricultural deferments in
the 18 to 25 year age group has
caused considerable concern and some
misunderstanding. Most people be-
lieve all youthful farmers are soon to
be drafted, but such is not the case.
In examining the overall defer
ment of workers as of January 1st,
it was found that of total labor pool
of some 45,0O0,000 in all war activ-
tiles other than agriculture, only 49,
900 registrants under 26 years Of age
were deferred, while from a farm la
Dor pool of some 100000 over &c.,
600 registrants under 26 years were
deferred. In other words, a war ac-
tivity group over time times as large
as the farm labor group has less than
one-ninth as many oceupational de-
ferments. Instructions were issued to
local boards ordering the review, to
make absolutely sure that their de-
ferments fully met the requirements
of the Tydings Amendment, ie., that
they are necessary to an agricultural
occupation or endeavor, that they are
regularly engaged in it, that it is
essential to the war effort, and no
replacement can be obtained This
does not mean the blanket induction
Of all workers in the farm groups
under 26 years of age. The Tydings
Amendment is still the law of the
land and local Draft Boards have full
authority, as well as the legal re-
sponsibility to defer from military
service essential agricultural workers
who cannot be replaced without food
production suffering.
Shortage OF Nurses
That real shortage Of nurses in
the armed services exists cannot be
questioned. More than a year ago
Congress moved to meet this nurse
shortage by establishing a Nurses
Cadet Training Program, which will
soon begin to supply needed nurses
to the Army, Navy and Veterans Ad-
ministration. In the meantime male
nurses complain the Army and Navy
continue to refuse to use them; while
discharged veterans, who wish to

Secretary Pays
Worm Tribute
To Seubees
Third Anniversary For
"Can Do" Organization

Washington, D. C. QLNS)-On the
occasion of the third birthday of the
Navy's Seabees - the Construction
Battalions largely, recruited from the
ranks of organized labor James A.
Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, paid
them this tribute:
"Three years ago, on Dec. 2S, 1911,
the Navy's Seabees were organized to
build the advance bases the Navy
needs to press its attack against the
enemy. Today, on their third ami
versary, they can look back on a
record of fighting and building that
has won the admiration of the Ameri-
can people and the respect of other
branches of the service.
"The Seabees were first organized
as a regiment of some $500 men, OF
ficered by the Civil Engineer Corps.
Immediately, they proved their worth
in building the bases which strength
ened our supply line to Australia. A
demand came back for more Naval
Construction Battalions. Americas
skilled workingmen, from approx
mately 60 different trades, answered
the call, with the result that today,
more than 234, 200 Seabees, and ap-
proximately $500 Civil Engineer
Corps officers have been trained.
More than three-fourths of them are
now overseas, and other thousands
will follow.
