to maintain yourself in good
standing and avoid the penalty
of suspension. Each member out
of work should secure an out
of work stamp each month. Bet
ter still, would be to secure a
Withdrawal Card for the small
sum of 25 cents. BY taking the
withdrawal, you would not be
obliged to report each month at
the Union office and could save
yourself from being suspended
by neglecting to come in at the
proper time"
Gives Added Instructions
In addition to his words of
advice, Br. Gray added the fol-
lowing:
after you receive your with
drawal card, you must keep it
until you return to work. When
you return to work, you must
deposit the withdrawal card at
the Vocal Union together with
the current months dues which
will again make you a remember

penalty.
Il hope that you will pass this
information along to any mem
bers with whom you come in
contact so we can save every
body possible from penalties and
build a stronger Union"

Major j. o. Givens, umpire al
the Battle of Scott Park" said
that the problem given to the
M.Ps was the removal not only
of snipers but of civilians from
buildings. Recently returned
from a long series of island hops
in the Pacific, the Major said
that in many of the islands, the
people, especially the Filipinos,
would barricade themselves in
their homes and refuse to come
out. He explained that it was
necessary for the troops to secure
these buildings for their own
occupancy and that this was the
purpose of the Toledo phase of
the training.
Col. Dunham stated that sit
is not our wish to have the prob
lem here considered as a threat
to labor, we would like to avoid
this idea in the minds of Toledo
workers"
AS a result of the discussion
between the Rrmy and labor
heads, the union officials agreed
to print the denial and with
draw request for a congressional
investigation.

to belong to and take an active
interest in PAC.
Mr.. Lazette also discussed

.PAC To
Seek Funds

NEW YORK, Aug. IA
national 81 volutary contri,
button campaign among the
CIO membership to finance
the activities of the CIO Pc.
litical Action Committe will bt
inaugurated Immediately after
Labor Day.
In announcing the drive, Go
PAC Chairman Sidney Hillmar
stated, "It is just as important
to educate the CIO membership
to the necessity of making E
modest annual contribution to
political action as it is to edu.
cate them to register and vote
1t is essential that the cam
paign for voluntary contribu-
tions be made a real success. >
Heretofore PAC's expenses
have been met through proper
tionate contributions from the
international unions. But it is
expected that the financing OF
the work of the national office
after the spring of 1916 will
rest solely on voluntary contri-
buttons.
Need Educational Funds
The need for funds is easily
understood when the scope OF
PAC's activities are outlined
This is particularly true now as
PAC initiates mass educational
drive to arouse public opinion
on legislative issues designed to
protect and advance the security
of American workers. All in.
formation media pamphlets,
posters, leaflets, meetings, radio
programs-are being utilized to
spur congressional action for a
65-cent minimum wage, full en-
ployment, a permanent FEPC,
world cooperation, unemploy-
ment compensation benefits, and
a rise in basic wage rates.
The mechanics of the contri-
button drive will be handled
through the international unions
Half of each dollar contribution
will be turned over to the ma
tional office with the remaining
so cents apportioned among the
state, city and county councils
and local unions as each state
may determine.
Local PAC To Aid
Although the internationals
will direct the drive, Hillman
stressed that "a heavy RESPONSE
bility rests on the state and city
political action comittees to
spearhead the campaign in their
communities, activize the local
unions and coordinate the cam
paign for the purpose of assur-
ing the maximum results" "
Where local drives for volun-
tary contributions are now in
effect, Hillman said, plans
should be made for the "early
termination of that drive and
for the inauguration of a cam
paign in accordance with the ma
tional plan" Hillman urged that
those communities which find it
impossible to begin their drive
on the agreed date should con-
tact the national office where
the matter will be discussed.

Digging Own
Graves. Says
Tobin

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA -
(LPA)-President Daniel j. To-
bin of the Teamsters-AFL be-
lieves that if the old parties try
to put over anti-labor legislation
on the order of the Halliburton
Hatch bill, they will provoke
American workers into forma-
ton of a new political party.
Writing in the August issue OF
the international Teamster, y
Tobin warned that both the Re-
publicans and Democrats will
destroy themselves" if they
push through that kind of legis-
lation.
"They will be laying the
groundwork for a third party
which may be based on extreme
radicalism," Tobin said. THAT
third party would not get any
where for a while, but it might
control, in a few years, sufficient
votes to hold the balance of
power between the two parties.
II have always been opposed
TO a third party in the past" he
declared, "but after 38 years as
an international labor official, /
have reached the conclusion that
something must be done by the
men and women of America to
show to the bosses in the state
and nation - or the Would-be
bosses - that they are digging
their own graves by even serious
Iy considering the Ball-Burton-
Hatch bill"

Ickes Bottles
For His JOB

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 49,
Harold L. Ickes, a storm center
of American political life for the
past 80 years, is weathering one
of the biggest battles in his long
career of public service.
The question is whether Ickes
is to remain as Secretary of the
Interior, post to which he was
named by Franklin D. Roosevelt
when the Roosevelt administra-
ton took office in 1882. He and
Commerce Secretary Henry A.
Wallace are the only remaining
Roosevelt appointees in the cab
met.
A colorful personality, his in
cisive talk matches his sharp
thinking, a combination which
has won many friends - and
many enemies. His fortnight
stand in protecting the nations
resources against the thrusts of
vested interests gives him a spe-
cial niche among those who
made the Roosevelt era one of
the brightest in American his
tory.
A Bitter Pill
Washington rumors are that
the popular 70-year old progress
sive is slated to be dropped for
political reasons, a bitter pill for
Ickes who has refused to make
his department a feast for poll
tical patronage. But the final
decision is not yet in, and there
are many who say that popular
pressure will aid Ickes to retain
his cabinet seat.
Here are some of the high
spots in Ickes' record as Interior
Secretary: AS supervisor of all
public lands, a post which pre-
vious government officials had
used for lucrative graft, he has
insisted on clean, honest admin
istration. Such scandals as Tea
pot Dome are unknown under
Ickes. The Bureau of Reclama-
ton, through flood control and
irrigation projects, has given the
people new soil to work on. The
great Boulder and Grand Coulee
Dams, great public works prof.
ects which provided jobs for
thousands, were constructed un-
der this division.
Indian "New Deap
The American Indians, shah
billy treated by previous admin
istrations, received a new deal"
under Ickes. In Kidding the Bu-
reaus of Indian Affairs of cor
ruption, Ickes successfully op-
posed big real estate and oil in
terests. This same courage was
shown In Puerto Rico where he
alienated sugar and banking
powers by fighting for a more
varied economy, which would
not depend solely on sugar and
would relieve the poverty of the
Puerto Ricans.
Throughout his life Harold
Ickes has fought the peoples
battle. And now the people are
fighting for him.

NEW YORK UPA) - From
American labor" to sufferers all
over the world will 60 nearly
100000 worth of aid in 1916,
the Labor League for Human
r 6 h t s--AFL announced last
week. Although the total will be
less than in 1945, because Brit
ain has dissolved its war relief
organization and Russia has left

still pour out of the overall
pockets of American workers to
provide necessities, medical aid,

Snyder Gives Assurances
War Mobilizer and Recover
sion chief Snyder in statement
today said that there will be az
sharp increase in unemploy-
ment" almost Immediately and
that this would continue for
about six months during the re-
conversion period. He said that
everything possible would be
done to speed a return to civil
ian production and expressed
the view that "long periods of
depression and mass unemploy-
ment are unthinkable."
In Detroit, r. j. Thomas,
UAW-CIO International presi-
dent said that there would be
100000 laid off in that city
almost Immediately and nobody
denied his statement. Detroit has
been the hub of war industry
since 1941 and has already been
seriously effected by cutbacks
and layoffs resulting from the
cessation of hostilities in Europe.
Army and Navy contract can
cellations amounting to billions
of dollars are bound to reflect
themselves in widespread unem-
ployment very quickly accord
ing to reliable government au-
thorities who express an off-the-
record opinion that reconversion
has been delayed by at least two
months because of the failure of
the Army and Navy to release
steel.
Wait For President
Labor is waiting for some
word from the President on the
important problems of recon-
version and jobs which now
face he country. It is expected
that he will have something to
say on the employment situation
in a press conference this week.
Meanwhile, increased agita-
ton for reconvening Congress at
once is spreading throughout the
country. Important on the list
of legislation needed now is in
creased unemployment compen-
sation called for by President
Truman, and the full employ
ment bill for which hearings
were scheduled late in Sep
tember.
Unemployment which already
nears the 100000 figure as
result of cutbacks will almost
Immediately reach 100000 and
will continue to increase until
full scale civilian production has
been effected. 1t is generally
conceded that the immediate
outlook for labor is far from
bright and that the end of the
war has created situation
which is almost as grave an
emergency as the Jap Pearl
Harbor sneak attack.
