KEENAN, RETURNS.
HITS COMPULSON

Washington, D. C.-WPB Vice
Chairman Joseph D. keenan,, just
back from visit to American battle
fronts in France, declared he is still
opposed to "work or fight" legisla-
ton which, he warned, "may cut pro-
duction 80 per cent instead of in
creasing it,"
Mr.. keenan, said the only shortages
he heard about at the front were
heavy ammunition and men. The
Army, he explained, is firing heavy
artillery at 5 or times the rate
originally planned. There are still
large ammunition supplies in England
and on the continent but the problem
is to transport the supplies to the
battle lines. Port facilities still have
not been restored and the French rail
ways have been crippled The result
ant heavy demand on motor transport
he pointed out, has brought about a
great need for more heavy trucks and
tires.
Stressing the desirability of in
creasing production through voluntary
methods, Mr.. keenan, said:
owe should try to use small con-
Germs that have been cut back. Give
them subcontracts for essential war
work instead of closing them down
and dispensing the workers who may
take six months to find new jobs at
which they are best qualified. It's
more efficient to use existing plants
and the workers who are there-then
there are no new problems of trans
portation and housing"
Mr.. Keenan, said he found no anti
union feeling among the rank and file
Of soldiers in France. Their chief
concern, he said, is to get the war over
quickly and return home.

Labor Draft Would Be
Step Toward Fascism,
WDL Tells Congress

Charging that d i S m n o n
against Negroes is the major weak
ness Of U. S. manpower policy, Rev.
Donald Harrington, Minister of the
Community Church of New York, tes-
tifying in behalf of the Workers De-
fense League, told the House Military
Affairs Committee that "a labor draft
is unnecessary, and would be a step
toward fascism."
Rev. Harrington read to the Con-
gressmen an affidavit from Adelene
Mclean, a Negro, who declared that
she had registered for employment
with the United States Employment
Service in New York on July 8, 1914,
and had not been offered any employ
ment to date.
Among the points Rev. Harrington
made in his testimony against a labor
draft were these: 1t is unnecessary
for minority groups are not utilized;
it would not produce the required re-
suits; it creates the false impression
that labor is to blame for the present
manpower situation; it would give
power over the lives of men and
women which it would be hard to find
anyone good enough to administer; il
would carry us one more long steI
down the road towards fascism by
establishing forced labor which the
Supreme Court of the United States
has said is slavery.

HATS OFF TO TWO
MORE AFL HEROES!

Washington, D. C.-The War De-
partment is making arrangements to
present the Silver Star, Army medal
to the parents of Private First Class
Billy Miller, AFL member, who thrill
ed the country year ago, by single
handedly enforcing unconditional sur
render" on 19 German soldiers includ-
ing one officer, who had taken him
prisoner in Italy. Six months later,
in July, Miller was captured again and
is now in a prisoner of war camp in
Germany. His family will receive the
medal for him.
The Germans Miller brought into
Allied lines had held him for two days
in no-man's land with fire from all
sides so heavy that they could not
move When the time came to move
back to the German lines, Miller sue
ceeded in persuading the Nazis that
American troops were overtaking the
area and that they should surrender
to him. They gave up their arms, and
marched with Miller to his command
post. The citation accompanying the
medal states: "His courage and inge-
nuity in such dangerous situation
were outstanding and distinct credit
to the Armed Forces"
Miller has also been honored with
the Purple Heart for wound in COM
bat. Before entering the Army two
years ago, at the age of 20, he was
employed at Thomas & Clarks Baking
Company, Peoria, Illinois, and belong
ed to Local 145, Baking and Confec-
tionery Workers Information Union,
AFL.
The War Department also awarded
the Silver Star to Private First Class
Milton O. Sandberg, member of Broth
erhood of Railway Clerks, AFL, and
former storeroom laborer for the
Northern Pacific Railway in Duluth,
Minnesota.
Sandberg won his medal for actions
in Normandy, France, on June TO-
four days after the invasion. Investi-
eating sounds of a struggle during
the night, he found that an enemy
patrol had penetrated the Allied lines
and was strangling sentry. Sandberg
went to the immediate rescue of the
sentry, and although he was wounded
in the action he continued resistance
killed one Of the enemy, and forced
the patrol to withdraw.
In the words Of the Army citation:
''The courage displayed by this soldier
reflects highest credit upon himself
and the military service"
Sandberg is the son of Mrs. Ids
Sandberg, 923 E. 9th Street, Duluth
Minnesota. His brother, Roger, is en-
ployed at the Riverside Shipyard, Du
luth, and belongs to the Internationa
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers
AFL.

LABOR SHORTAGES REMEDIABLE

Instead of working for compulsory
service, advocates of such legislations
might be far better employed in rem
edying causes of labor shortages. The
causes are known and can be correct
ed, as the AFL's "Labor's Monthly
Survey" points out, saying:
"Most of the manpower shortages
are in plants where labor conditions
are sub-standard Low wages are the
chief problem. In many of the plants
converted from civilian work, wages
were low before the war, and the
plants, caught in the War Labor Board
wage freeze, have not been permitted
to raise their wages to adequate levels.
Situations of this kind can be correct
ed if the War Production Board cer-
titles to the War Labor Board that
low wages are interfering with war
production.
another cause of manpower short
age is inadequate housing. For in
stance, a mid-western war plant ask
ed VINO for 1,500 pipe filters; sub
sequent investigation disclosed that
there were no houses for them to live
in. Eventually the houses were built
and then the plant had no difficulty in
getting it's pipefitters.
"Other causes are: Inadequate
transportation, impossibility of get
ting adequate meals and food, home
duties forcing housewives to leave
their work"

Planning for public works of many
kinds when peace comes is continu-
ing among the United Nations despite
the war, the American Society Of
Planning Officials reports. This is
cheering news, indicating that the
world is looking beyond this time of
"blood and tears" to happier period
of rehabilitation and growth.
Rebuilding and redevelopment is
already underway in many liberated
areas in Russia, fact indicating that
financing operations in that country
are not necessarily local response
bility, the society said.
In England and other countries,
plans are in the making for rebuild
ing of bombed-out areas or redevelop-
ing of blighted areas when material,
manpower and finances are available.
Planning has been localized under
the recently enacted Town and Coun-
ty Planning Bill in England. Plans for
reconstructing Plymouth, London,
Manchester and Coventry seem to have
"frail authority or financial assist
ance" under the new act, the society
commented.
Planning and housing activity in
Australia and New Zealand is Of ex-
cellent calibre, the society said. Post
war problems in the two countries
are very similar to those of the United
States, and technicians there are ex-
tremely interested in the IVA and in
the American approach to urban re-
development.
Local planning has enjoyed wide
spread popularity in Canada in the
last 2 years; problems of financial and
personnel resources there, however
are even more acute than in the Unit
ed States. This year the Province of

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Ontario established Department Of
Planning and Development, Toronto
completed its master plan, and Winni-
peg late in the year organized its
planning program on metropolitan
basis.
Mexico, Brazil and Chile are max
ing large strides in the field of eco
nomic planning, the society found
All 8 countries have been doing some
outstanding physical planning, as
have Argentina and Uruguay.
Because so many British ideas about
labor relations eventually find their
way to the United States, it is perti-
nent to note the labor charter bill
which has passed the second reading
in Parlin.ent and which will establish
minimum wages and working condi-
tions for 100000 workers for 6
years after the war.
Under this bill, British employers
are barred from underwriting wage
rates reached through voluntary in
dustry-union negotiation. If employ.
ers or employees are not fully organic
ed, agreements will be negotiated fol
them through new machinery provid
ed by the bill.
Collective bargaining is accepted
as a matter of course in most indus
tries in England. Many years ago Brit
ish employers adopted the practice
of buying advertising space to urge
workers to join unions SO that employ
er organizations could deal with them
Unions similarly urged their employ
chs to join industry associations. Nov

An American Speaks
by Ruth Taylor

I've been accused of using my
friends for copy material, and told
that no conversation is safe from my
pencil. l admit the justice of the ac-
cusation-but, after all, the democra-
cy of which | try to write is not the
democracy of the lecture hall, but just
the plain every day life Of each and
every one of us. 1t is the practical
freedom Of man." and the actual "sanc
tity of the individual, not the ideolog
ical basis that is of primary import
ance.
Therefore, / don't apologize for re-
failing another conversation. The 9th
er evening / was listening to group
of men talking about various. hings,
when, across their theories, came the
words of the oldest of the group, who
up to then had been silent.
"You talk about the problems of
Europe being reflected here" he said.
II want to tell you this. I've read
some of the vicious, scurrilous, smut
ty, un-American material that is 60
ing the rounds today. It's disgusting
I've read it only because l had to in
my work. But tell you this, no Amer
lean who is worthy Of the name, (and
/ hold that most Americans care as
much for democracy as do), no de-
cent American would give house room
to it, let alone read the stuff, some of
which is anti-Semitic, some of which
| is anti-Catholic and all of which is
plain anti Christian. Decent people
don't read or believe that kind of
| thing. You can't live in America with
out knowing that it is all lies. Nobody
is fooled by it-and only the vicious
will lend an ear to it."
He went on to say, II have lived iE.
this town my entire life time. Many
Of those knew as boys are dead. I've
outlived my years-but those used to
know, those I've always known, have
come from all sorts of homes-their

accents, we went to different churches

erations here, Protestant, Catholic or
Jew-we were all Americans-and
we were friends. We knew each other.
We understood each other-and it's
| hard to dislike man when you really
| know him."
"This country has given me many
opportunities. Some I've used wisely.
Others not so well. I've had a chance
to work at the work l enjoyed. I've
prospered and been honored by my
fellow citizens. But others with diff
ferent backgrounds than mine have
done the same or better. They are still
my friends, my fellow Americans. And
it is as Americans that / think of
| them! | do not narrow them down to
any group either of class or creed.
And / hold that what l do, any real
American will do if he gives any real
thought to the matter-as l have.
Don't talk to me Of any European
problems being reflected over here!
Such issues are plain un-American;
and I, together with all real Ameri
cans, will have no part in them"

NOT COMING

NEWSPAPER HORSEPLAY

NEWSPAPER HORSEPLAY
For about 10 years the metropolitan
newspapers have hammered Franklin
D. Roosevelt and the members of his
family. No opportunity was ignored
and no incident was too small for the
newspapers to smear the President
either directly or through the members
of his family.
And very few newspapers have
been too small to print any little smear
which came to their notice. Next to
organized the President has certainly
taken a beating from the press, which
likes to be known as the fourth es-
tate.
Recently, however, the press dived
to new low. Most newspapers have
such low standards they can hardly
stoop, but some of the better ones
have really lowered themselves in the
effort to smear the President. The
idea seems to be to take a crack at
him, disregarding ethics, decency and
journalistic decorum.
The first story about his dog was
printed last year when he went to
Hawaii and the Aleutians, and even
with the surfeit of news available now
space can always be found for a story
about that dog, even several days
running.
And then there was the dog of one
of the soldier sons of the President,
which was shipped by plane. Boy, how
the papers did hop that one. But none
of the papers print stories about mill
tary officials joyriding in bombers,
and it is a safe bet you didn't read
in the papers anything about the Gen.
erals Christmas turkey riding around
in a bomber. 1t did, however; in fact
it made a round trip.
The pettiness and peevishness of our
press probably accounts for the lack
of confidence on the part of the read
ers.
Enlightening, too, is the fact that
FDR and members of his family ap-
pear to be bothered practically not at
all by what the newspapers have to
say about them.
Which, after all, is good thing for
the country, because with our war on
his hands, we couldn't win if he paid
too much attention to subsersive dis
fractions.
