This AFL Hero Was
UnstOppable-And His
Name Is Unspellable

Washington, D. C.-The Nazis
found Pfc. Mitchell j. ]. Pxyzbys
(correct) just as hard to stop as his
name is hard to spell. The soldier,
a member Of the AFL's International
Association of Machinists, has just
received the Army's Silver Star Medal
for his heroic exploits.
Pfc. Pxyzbys-w wonder how he pro-
nounces it?-served in Africa and
Italy and is now somewhere in France.
When he was in Italy last April, the
War Department informs us, this stall
wart soldier voluntarily ran 400 yards
through heavy enemy shelling, with
some explosives landing within a few
feet of him, to repair wire line. This
was not his responsibility since he
was serving in mortar squad. Then,
with enemy shells still bursting all
around him, he extinguished a fire in
a mortar ammunition dump, thus pre-
venting possible injury to members
of his section as we'll as disclosure
of the position to enemy observers.
Married and the father Of a two
year old son, Pfc. Pxyzbys used to
live in Chicopee, Miss, and was en-
ployed at the j. Stevens Arms Co.
He has two brothers-in-law in the
service. His family and his union
are proud of his name, even though
it is tough to spell.

AFL Members Killed
In War Now Total
Almost 10000

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Al-
most 10000 members of the American
Federation of Labor have already
made the supreme sacrifice in the war,
which means that l in every 10 Amer
lean fighters killed in combat has
been an AFL man. And the end is
not yet, with undoubtedly thousands
of additional casualties to come be-
fore final victory over Germany and
Japan.
In addition to the death roll of AFL
members, as of the end of March,
there were $4,000 members of the fed
GRAFTON wounded, $500 missing and
1000 prisoners.
"To keep faith with these men and
with the 100000 other AFL mem
bers wearing Army, Navy, Marine
Corps and Coast Guard uniforms, the
AFL is fighting resolutely for dur
able peace after victory and for an
economy in which there will be jobs
for all who want work and need work, ("
the American Federationist says, in
giving the figures on AFL war casu-
alties.

ADVANCING COMMUNITY LIFE

Labor's interest in advancing COM
munity life can best be illustrated by
a concrete example.
Boy Scouts in Oakland, Calf, need
ed camp site-a spacious, wooded
area where they could roam and ex-
plore to their complete satisfaction.
This spring that need was realized
thanks to an American Federation
Of Labor union.
The union, Oakland Auto Mechanics
Local 1916, AFL, gave 686-acre Los
Mochos Wilderness to the Oakland
Scout Area Council early in March.
A special ceremony marked the oc-
casion. Presentation of the deed was
made by General Business Agent E.
H. Vernon, with acceptance by Judge
Frank M. Ogden, president of the
Scout Council.
Local 1546's interest in Scouting
has not ended with giving of the camp
site, however, The union is keeping
informed of developments at Los Mo-
chos through moving pictures and it
is also sponsoring Boy Scout troop.

Labor Stand Seen Big Factor
In sManpower Bill Defeat

New York City (ILNS).- Hailing
the defeat of the so-called "compro-
mise manpower bill" in the Senate as
victory for labor and the common
people, the Rev. Aron S. Gilmartin,
national chairman of the Workers
Defense League, praised the mobiliza-
ton of labor opposition which he felt
accounted in large measure for the
defeat Of all the bills previously char
acterized by the WDL as "labor draft
slavery"
"Faced with the undoubted revolt
of all elements of labor against the
united front of military and naval
brass hats (who want to get control
of our economy, old-guard reaction
aries, and administration spokesmen,
the Senate decisively rejected the
House-approved measure" the WDL
chairman commented. "Of the Is
Democratic Senators who rallied to
the administration, it is significant
to note that 13 were Southerners who
are often reckoned in the anti-admin-
istration ranks but who in this in
stance wanted to be counted with the
President in this anti-labor fight.
'The vote against the conference
measure was evenly matched between
Democrats, many of them classified
as New Dealers, and Republicans, plus
the lone Progressive-LaFollette OF
Wisconsin, who can always be reckon
ed on labor's side. Added to the mar
now margin by which the bill passed
the House-167 to 160-this definitely
marked the end of attempts to fasten
labor draft upon Americans who
have achieved so marvellous miracle
of war production through the free
labor system"

Explosive Industry
One OF Safest !

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Did
YOU know the explosive industry is
one of the safest? This is contrary
to popular belief, but it's true, as Al
bert N. Dennis proved in his Labor
Oddity" feature of his weekly Labor
News Review over WTOP OF the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
'The manufacture of explosives" /"
Mr.. Dennis said, "has always been re-
garded by the public as an extremely
hazardous occupation, where workers
are subject to high rate of on-the-job
accidents. Well, Of the 81 industries
rated by the u S. Department OF La
Dor, the explosive industry stands
next to the lowest in accidents, with a
frequency rating of 81 accidents per
million employe-hours worked
"Only one industry has a lower
rate-the women's clothing industry,
which is lowest of all. Eighty-five
others have various higher rates, run
ming up to 545 for the sawmill indus
try, which is highest of all. The ma
tional average for all industries is
1914 per million employe-hours worked.
"But, to repeat, the explosive in
dustry-widely considered as extreme
ly hazardous an accident fire.

ploye-hours worked-the second low
