 Employer representation would be divided equally between the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and the National As sociation of Manufacturers.

 It was recommended that the opening session of the conference be addressed by President Tru- man. The committee has in mind "an eminent private citizen" to act as chairman but withheld his name until his acceptance is assured.
 The chairman and the Secretaries of Labor and Commerce will be non-voting members of the confer ence.

great sympathy and compassion for all peoples who had suffered from the war.
 An then she appealed to the women to take upon themselves the task of insuring peace. She said, "We have the leadership of a new world but if we ant solve our own problems how about the rest of the world"
 The United States, said Mrs. Roosevelt, lis a miniature of the world. There is hardly nation or religion that is not represented in the United States. All you have to do is read the casualty lists to find that out" And so just as we must work within the country to cement relationships between religion and religion, race and race. so must we work in the world to achieve sound international rela- tionships.
 Mrs. Roosevelt feels that it can be done and that we can build the world we've been fighting for. An inspiration to all women in her untiring devotion to the cause of democracy, Mrs. Roosevelt is in many ways like the man she was married to. However, Mrs. Roose- welt doesn't have to bask in any, ones glory, for. in her own right she is one of the great women Of our country.

deeply sensitive to the needs of democratic peoples.
 Mrs. Roosevelt was concerned about the way we were going about building our brave new world, concerned but not pessimis- tic. She warned against the loop holes we fell into after the last war when we reverted to isolationism and said that isolationism can only lead to more wars. She said we must adopt a firm internationalist stand and stated that the atomic bomb should be shared with our Allies, the United Nations. She thought it was too bad that the meeting of the big three foreign ministers didn't go off better but felt that much was accomplished and that things would improve as the new foreign ministers got bet ter acquainted. She said, We must rid ourselves of our fear for Russia if we are to achieve world cooperation" and warned that sus- picion of our Allies would stand in the way of real peace.
 Mrs. Roosevelt felt that this country had suffered least from the war and pointed out that America has endured nowhere near the moral and physical exhaustion of Europe. She described the plight of English women during the war who worked for 12 long hours a day only to return to housework and care of the children at night. She spoke about Russian towns that formerly housed 100000 peo- pie with only six buildings left. She described one section of France where 50%o of the children had tuberculosis. She spoke with

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

The 65c minimum wage bill, scheduled to come up in Congress, should have the support of all groups, industry as well as labor, A strong supporter of the 65c minimum wage bill is Henry Wal lace who says that 1t would not only raise the wage level of Sub- standard workers, but would re- suit in better profits for industry and a greater market for agricul- ture. Unless workers are assured a decent wage, says Henry Wallace, they will not have purchasing power and will not be able to buy the products that industry has to sell. This is exactly what hap pened during the last depression. Men had no jobs and could not buy consumer goods and SO busi- ness failed as well.
 MT. A. F. Hinrichs, head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, testify ing for the 65c minimum wage, said that even a 75c minimum, which would give a worker employed for 50 weeks at 40 hours week $500 for the year, would not provide family of four de- cent standard of living at today'S prices. At 65c an hour, weekly wage on the basis of 40 hours per week would only pay $26.O0 8 week; certainly not enough to keep a worker in silk shirts and limou- sines as many opponents of the bill would have us believe.
 Father L. c. Ligutti, secretary of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference, testifying for the bill, had this to say to his opponents: "Any human problem can be solved by human beings. Some people say, Let's not disturb the present or der But when children haven't enough to eat and people haven't decent shelter then this thing we speak of as the present order isn't order at all, but disorder, and ought to be changed to give every human being decent living"
 A 65c minimum wage would help give workers employed at sub- standard wages, fairly good standard of living and would help establish a more harmonious re- lationship between industry and labor in the low paid industries. It is certainly to the benefit of the country as whole to see that the 65c minimum wage is written into law.

Freedom of the Press

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS is a WONDERFUL THING! It is of the MANY FREEDOMS for which the and of the United Nations have been LAYING DOWN THEIR LIVES! It is the ONLY HOPE FOR THE FUTURE for millions of common and who go make up the VAST MAJORITY of the worlds populaton It is THEIR ONLY HOPE in facing future with newspa- pers and syndcates controlled by mnortes and trusts whose opinions cannot be otherwise than against ORGAN PATTON OF THE WORKING CLASS UNDER UNION BANNERS
 Articles and editorials are now filling of Iead ing daies attacking unions and unionsm and trying to besmrch the reputation of organized labor into hard and unprncped lot bomb throwers that seems about time to few of capitals accusations
 The most editoriazed accusation far appeared in New London evening paper immediately following tirade against strikes the freedom given labor under the Wagner Act which they deplored and carrying with m 1t course capitals idea of destroying all hardwon rights American labor It is easy to imagine that the WAGNER ACT COULD BE MODIFIED INTO SOME SUCH MILK SOP MESS as happened to the Full Employment Bill Just give the antilabor boys Capitol Hill chance and they can turn out an ALICE IN WONDERLAND DREAM, 194S VERSION!
 The editorial of Monday October 15th in this New Lon
 evening sheet took the old and overused attack of y ing the returning servicemen against Unlonst However they went overheard and committed themselves irrefutably very important item, G. l. UNION SEN" IORTY The claim they made against Unions was that we denied members in the armed forces Union seniority and that returning dougboy found himself the lower rungs seniority st displaced by worker who worked on his job while he was away! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE! Our members know that when they went into the service they issued Service Card and that their Union Seniority went right along with the years and the
 months that they the serviceI Not only this but their International Lodges PAID THEIR DUES FOR THEM WHILE THEY WERE AWAY!
 It seems pity that the newspapers who are not out evidently state the true facts to the public should not arm themselves with accurate information! should tnS local sheet fit to correct it's error in later edition IAE HARM THAT THEY WANTED TO DO MAY ALREADX HAVE BEEN DONE! Some, yet, unorganzed labor may have read this trade and believed BECAUSE IT AP- FEARED IN THE PAPER"
 This type of propaganda used by papers today is the kind that will ULTIMATELY PUT SUCH SHEET OUT OF BUSINESS For believe it or not THIS IS DAY OF TRUTH If we found out that had so deliberately lied to us in so important matter day affairs, WE WOULD SHUN AND IGNORE THAT INDIVIDUAL AND SEE TO TT THAT WE NEITHER DID BUSINESS WITH HIM NOR HAD HIM COME INTO OUR HOMES!

means added wear and added
danger for tires.
"The combination of hot-weather
driving and worn, thin tires can be
deadly" Holcomb stated. "Tire accl-
dents have always increased in the
summer, and any added speed IS an
unnecessary risk. With tires IN the
condition they're in today, we urge
every motorist to observe the VIC
tory Speed Limit carefully, by driv-
ing under 35 miles per hour"

nection with driving on the July 4tn

ever Holcomb urged all farmers
who plan to slaughter and sell any
