The City Of Wyandotte has now
one of the best rifle ranges in the
State Since the range down on
Pennsylvania has been enlarged and
fixed up it is now tops. Last Sun
day the Southwestern Rifle Club had
about 70 shooters there and most
of the men agreed that the range
was great.
On the subject Of rifle shooting
did you know that the average
markSman spends about iour to five
hundred dollars for equipment? So
for the persons who are interested
in knowing what is used and what
the cost is get load Of the follow
ing: a rifle will run between S125
and $50; a scope about $85; tele-
scope sight about 500; iron sight,
$3.50; coat, $3.50; glove, $3.50;
shooting glasses, $3.50; mat will
cost $3.50; good badger kit, s145O,
and an ammunition box and timer,
$3.50 These prices are not given to
scare any one from becoming a rifle
shooter, but just to let some of the
folks know what this sport will
cost to get properly set up in. 1t is
not necessary to have all this stuff
to start and lots of the fellows be-
gin in a small way and work up
until they have a complete outfit.

The fighting men out here realize that most of them are due for a long spell of occupation duty be- fore getting back home. Neverthe- less, as we representatives of the labor press continue the tour of the Pacific arranged for by the War and Navy Departments, all the G. Is we talk to seem to have one question uppermost in their minds. It's this:
 What's the chances of me get ting a good job when I get back homer"
 Naturally, we suppose the gov- ernment, labor and private indus try in America are trying to pro- vide the specific answers to that question right now. All we can tell Uncle Sam's soldiers and sail lors is that their prospects basically depend on the attainment of full employment in America as soon as reconversion is completed. And we have to keep on repeating to them that the stories they've heard about swollen pay envelopes for war workers are lot of bunk.
 One final report to the parents of the boys serving out here they're in good spirits and in good health. Uncle Sam is taking care of them as though they were his own kids-and they are. I might add that he's also taking good care of the labor press representatives on this trip. We're having won- derful time.

The Metal Trades Council of New London County Is the first union in America to go to the NWLB with a coutractual dispute point involv- ing a 3Oqo increase in take home pay to make up the differential in pay lost by the cut-back in hours to a forty hour week.

Labor Day Salute
Bv REAR ADMIRAL c. H. WOODWARD, USN Chief of Industrial Incentive
 Division

On this Labor Day, the U. S.. Navy salutes with extra pride the men and women of Americas ship yards, arsenals and factories whose production has brought about the victory for which we all have been laboring. That salute rings from our fighting men all over the world from deep inside conquered ter ritories, from distant atollS, from beachheads still filtered with trag- ic wreckage, from all of those thou sands who daily were thankful for the devotion and skill of those working for them back on the home front.
 American labor in the past year has written an epic of accomplish ment into history. It was the might of Americas production lines, pro- viding our fighting men with the tools to do the job, that brought Germany down to defeat. That same might drove home to the Japs

Especially is this feeling true with regard to the atomic bomb, which proved to be the victory clincher. The War Departments official acknowledgment of labor's vital role in the production of this terribly destructive weapon helped to swing the tide of c. I. opinion in favor of labor.
 The attitude of the men in uni form out here was summed up by Gen. Robert c. Richardson, Com manding the United States Army Forces in the Middle Pacific Area, who told us at Honolulu:
 'So far as I know, the Army has never been short of supplies because of labor's activities. In fact, we have been the constant beneficiary of the hard-working war minded Americans working ogl the assembly lines, on the docks, in the mines and on merchant ships. Supplies and equipment go to troops in the field because labor and the Army play on the same team. I am satisfied that the total efforts of labor can be called one of the bright spots of the war"

NEGRO ENGINEERS PAVED
WAY FOR AMERICANS
BY BUILDING RAILROADS

WITH THE 354th ENGINEER
G. S. REGIMENT, Apr. 5 (ANP)
Men of this outfit are the ones who
have made the advance of American
forces in this European sector pos
sible. They use nuts and bolts as
ammunition and roaring bulldozers
as assault artillery, said Allan Nor
rison, staff writer for "Stars and
Stripes" the army's official publ
cation.
This is what Morrison said about
them:
Landing in Normandy in July,
this Negro unit laid rail lines as it
advanced through France and left
a trail of completed military facil-
tiles, ranging from water points to
marshalling yards, behind them.
Though they've usually worked
far to the rear, most of their pro-
jects have direct bearing on sup
ply and communications lines to the
front.
Restoration of French rail lines
for use by American forces has
been a major task of the regiment.
Long stretches of track damaged by
bombing and demolitions have been
repaired.

FEDERAL AGENTS seize
PORTER IN RAILROAD
TICKET SCHEME

CHICAGO, Apr. 5 (ANP) =
Charging railway porter with US
ing the mails to defraud, Bernard
Sokel, assistant U. S. attorney, de-
scribed how Hardine Williams, a
chair car porter for the Burlington
railroad, had obtained more than
$500 by a scheme whereby he
would collect railroad tickets from
passengers and then mail them
back to the ticket office for re-
funds Williams was indicted by the
federal grand jury.

"Many ex-railroad men like Sgt.
'Virgel Williams, of st. Louis, who
used to work for the Union Pacific
and is now construction foreman,
directed the laying and servicing of
over 100 miles of additional rail
track.
Though railroad jobs comprise
most of their missions, the small
jobs they do are endless, like guard
ing dumps after building them.
Their biggest job, building a rail
marshalling yard, involved cutting
and removing 226, 900 cubic yards of
earthwork. The project had high
operational Importance. 1t was
aimed at eliminating a rail bottle
neck in Cherbourg, then the only
major port in allied hands.
Termed by authorities 'one Of the
outstanding engineering projects in
Normandy the yard was built un-
der incredibly difficult conditions
that included seas of mud in which
heavy equipment had to operate.
Over 81 miles of rail were put down
in an area less than half a mile
square.
''The regiment boasts the only
CT foundry possessed by GS unit
in Europe. 1t happened when the
728th Railway Operating battalion,
then servicing Normandy rail lines,
exhausted its supply of safety
switch lugs, vital device regulat-
ing the opening and shutting of
track points. None could be obtained
either on the continent or in the
U.K.
"The mechanical brains of the
unit were tapped for ideas. Up came
a contraption that some said was
strictly from Rube Goldberg. 1t con-
sisted of home made die stamping
the lug pattern within a field foun-
dry improvised from oil drums
hooked together to make a fur
mace"
