ing, even though they well know that it
is through the labor unions that the
standards of living Of these very men
have been raised to a point which they
could never have attained by their own
independent efforts. Not so many years
ago yellow dog" contracts were very
much in vogue in the coal mines. These
contracts provided that the miners could
be discharged if they joined a union.
Never a protest was heard from the
newspapers on that score. It is also not
so long ago that miners were compelled
to live in company houses at eXorbitant
rents and buy all the necessities Of life
at company stores at Internationally
high prices, so that sometimes at the
end of a week a miner found himself
owing more to the company than the
wage he had received. Not once did the
press feel impened to object to such de-
plorable practices.
1t is said that the Federation has no
right to exact a royalty from the re-
cording companies The reason for the
position of the Federation Of course was
the widespread unemployment which re-
suited from the unauthorized use Of rec
ords and which called for drastic action.
The question of royalties far from being
Objectionable to most Of the companies,
has found general approval as a partial
solution at least of the problem. In
fact, the officials of one Of the largest
companies acknowledged that they felt
sense Of responsibility for the plight Of
the musicians and were glad to be in a
position to partially relieve it.
But perhaps the most far-fetched and
uniustified assertion of all is the con-
stantly repeated statement that this So
luton establishes precedent that 9TH
er unions may be expected to follow"
Editorial writers never tire Of harping
on this motif in all its variations. If
one union can force the American people
to pay private sales tax on a product
it helps to make why can't other
unions?" "The same demands now sue
cessfur made can be made by unions in
any other industry" by this theory per
sons thrown out Of work by any me
chanical invention would become pen
sioners upon that invention" 3" IF a
union can put a tax on records why not
one on any other manufactured article?'
! And so on and so on
Here again, the newspapers present a
purposely distorted picture of the situa-
ton. Royalties on records are collected
not because the Federation wishes to in
crease its treasury, but, as a last resort
as the only solution for the unemploy-

decisions Of the courts into which We
were dragged, including the highest
court in the land-the Suprem court of

keen satisfaction not only for members

to say in the recent past. The corpora

this campaign of vilifieation and injus-
tice. We print this article for the in

You May Be Able to Get Cigarets
Easier Next Year

Tremendous deliveries Of cigarets to
the Army-amounting in recent months
to as much as half Of all production
may help explain the grave shortage Of
smokes for civilians. According to the
Wall Street Journal since mid-Septem-
Der the industry has been earmarking
one of every two Cigarets it makes to
fill War department contracts alone.
Shipments on this scale will continue
until the end Of the year and then may
be expected to taper off to around 80
per cent Of production. Meanwhile the
Nays buying, month in and month out
has averaged is per cent Of the overall
output.
Early next year therefore civilians may
have a somewhat easier time finding
their favorite smokes. But the situation
will not return to anything approaching
normal by that time. And the best way
to insure your share Of the tobacco in
dustry's record production Of 329 billion
cigarets is not to hoard and not to buy
cigarets on the black market Report
any black market trading you see-be-
cause the government has said there
should be enough to go around, even
with the large shipments overseas, if

ommendation of the then president Of
the Federation, Joseph N. weber. This
emergency power has been used very
sparingly by both Presidents Weber and
.Petrillo and always for the benefit of
the membership The record contradicts
the intimation that this law was passed
at the instance of President Petrillo.
The same editorial also repeated the
statement that President Roosevelt had
sent federal troops to seize the plant
of Montgomery Ward and company and
wondered why he did not use similar
tactics with President PetrillO. The fact
that the only similarity in the two cases
consists in thier both having come be-
fore the War Labor Board and that
there all analogy ceases makes no diff
ference to these attempted molders Of
public opinion.
The papers also are suddenly solicitous
of the welfare Of the public which they
say will be compelled to carry the burden
Of this royalty payment Notwithstanding
the fact that under OPA regulations the
record companies are prohibited from
raising the price of their product and
have given assurance that they intend
to make the payments from their present
sales price. The royalties amount to but
fraction Of a cent per record and yet
the newspapers are shedding crocodile
tears even though the public pays moth
ing additional. However, we failed to
discover any tears rolling down the
cheeks of the newspaper owners when
they raised the price Of their papers

ment created among its members
through the competitive use Of records.
There can be no comparison with other
labor organizations, because the articles
they produce do not compete with their
own organizations It is only the musi-
clan who by playing for recordings ere
ates the article which becomes a source
of keen competition, a situation never
anticipated when the phonograph first
came into use. The royalty was decided
upon only after numerous conventions
had declared that something must be
done to alleviate the condition created
by this self-made competition and after
the recording industry had the matter
repeatedly called to their attention and
had been given every opportunity them
selves to bring about some solution Of
the problem. The answer was always,
There is nothing we can do about it. :"
A great deal has been said in the last
year about free enterprise, but, it seems,
this is supposed to apply only to en-
ployers. Newspapers object strenuously
to any governmental control over cor
porations, but as soon as a labor organi-
zation shows some evidence of power,
they advocate restrictive measures that
would put unions in a strait jacket It
was ever thus. The press generally,
which should be unbiased, has invariably
taken up the cudgels on behalf Of the
employers and at every opportunity en-
deavored to show that labor organiza-
tons were unreasonable it has also tried
to make it appear that the interests Of
the public would suffer from anything
that might benefit the members of or
ganized labor.
The campaign Of vituperation and viii
fication which has extended over a
period of two years is an example of the
extent to which unscrupulous newspa-
pers will go in order to accomplish theiI
purposes. Not having any sense Of honor
themselves, common honesty in anyone
else is incomprehensible to them. In

Upon receiving one of these I'M

"It's true was five minutes late

it was unavoidable. In passing the

envy lines that night, they stopped
to rest, and the wounded pilot
crawled away from them to insure
their getting away to the guerrilla
lines. They escaped, and later we
received a letter signed by the other
two crewmen which said that the
pilot had been captured and was
then in q Japanese hospital. The
letter was Japanese propaganda
leahet that the Japs had dropped
near Kweilin, but being properly
signed, it gave us hope for the re-
mainder Of the crew, and for the
heroic pilot, Lieutenant Alters.
That night Morgan led a night
raid to bomb Canton, and had a
successful attack. Later the same
night, Ed Bayse led six bombers to
destroy the power station on Hong
kong Island. In his return to Kwei-
lin, five Of his ships landed but the
other continued to circle-informing
the radioman that he had no air
speed and thus was having difficulty
bringing the fast bomber in to land.
Bayse, who had worked all the
day and most Of the night over enc
my lines, started his ship and went
aloft, got the other ship on his wing
in formation, and told the pilot to
keep the position. And then this
experienced bomber pilot led the
younger pilot in to a safe landing.
It was teamwork Of the sort that
had begun to appear among the
bomber crews, and more important
still, as the co-ordinated attack had
shown, between the fighters and
bombers. This was what Colonel
Cooper had been working for during
the past several months.
Cooper had done another fine job,
one that we learned of only after we

the hospital with a sinus infection.
He was chafing at the bit, and we
sympathized with him-for after
having planned the greatest raid Of
the war in China, he had been forced
out Of accompanying the mission.
But it has always been our con-

out again. When the enemy planes
approached Running. Cooper left
the hospital and took charge Of the
defense Of the home base. He sent
Schiel's Squadron towards the South
at exactly the right time. They not
only intercepted the enemy and
foiled the attack but shot down eight
Of the enemy. That made the score
for the Group twenty-seven enemy
planes on October 25th, and three
highly successful bombing raids.

day, although we now had the enc

We managed, however, to leave a
small force Of P-40's under Holloway
and Alison, with mission to dive
bomb shipping in Victoria harbor
within the next few days. They
took eight planes down and dove
through the overcast towards some
big enemy freighters that were on
the way South towards the Solo
mons. Their bombs damaged two
8,000-ton freighters and sank a H.
000-ton vessel. Captain O'Connell
made this last direct hit by almost
taking his bomb down the smoke
stack Of the enemy vessel, and in
doing so he was shot down. He
took the bomb very low, and in re-
covering from the dive he was at
tackled by a single enemy, who got
one Of the best pilots in the Squad
ron. Ginger and Alison saw the
enemy ship, but from their dis
lance they could do nothing In time
to save O'Connell. While Alison was
getting the lone enemy ship, Ginger
dove in anger along the docks Of
Kowloon, strafing three anti-aircraft
positions in the face Of very heavy
ground-fire.
