War Production in Excellent Shape;
AFL Blames Lag on Poor Planning
Changing and Increasing Requirements Necessary By
New Military Developments Given AS Cause

eve are convinced that if the War
and Navy Departments will outline
their needs clearly to labor and indus
try and submit production schedules
with some advance notice, the work.
ers and employers Of America will
produce the goods on time and ahead
of time-as they have consistently
done in the past. The situation calls
for intelligent planning and effective
cooperation, not hysteria and confus-
ing forced-labor experiments.
Labor recognizes its primary war;
time responsibility of producing in
full measure the equipment needed by
our armed forces to crush the enemy.
The Executive Council wishes to reit-
crate at this time that the members
of the American Federation of Labor
are determined to fulfill this response
bility come what may"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-02-23

Manufacturing the general war
production pricture excellent" the
AFL Executive Council blamed such
shortages as still exist in critical mu-
nitions on poor planning by military
authorities plus changing and increas-
ed requirements made necessary by
new military and strategic develop
ments
"It is not fair to castigate industry
and labor for shortcomings" the
Council declared, "when production
plans and requirements are changed
overnight by the authorities"
The Council declared that several
items of war production, which were
"cut back" a year ago by order OF
the War and Navy Departments are
now scarce again. Production sched-
ules have been doubled and tripled
without advance warning to overcome
these shortages and then official an
nouncements are made that produc.
tion is tagging "behind schedule" the
Council charged.
"The Executive Council submits that
no law short of magic wand coulC
keep war production in pace with
schedules arrived at on such basis,
formal statement said.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-02-23

he said, "but the common people, in
Guiding labor, must be made free and
must be accorded the opportunity to
re-establish themselves under demo-
cratic government"
Mr.. Green declared that the differ
ences which have already arisen be-
tween the British Trades Union Con-
gress and the Soviet delegation, along
with their CIO comrades, justify in
full the AFL's refusal to take part in
the parley.
AS the council session neared it's
end, the chief matters still to be dis
posed of were the United Mine Work
ers case and the drafting of a pro-
gram to enlist labor's full support Of
nationwide drive for the re-em-
ployment of veterans after the fight
ing ends.

Wayward Wives
Would Be Punished

Columbus, O.-Wives of men in the
armed services would have to travel
the straight and narrow path while
their husbands are away from home
if State Representative William j.
Hart of Cleveland gets his way.
He asked the State Legislature last
night to approve bill that would
subject the wayward wife to possi-
BILE fine of $1,000 and a years i'm
prisonment for associating with inn
moral persons or persons who might
persuade her to associate with i'm
moral persons, or for abandoning her
children.
This was only one Of score Of
bills introduced in both branches Of

United Mine Workers Charter Still Hanging Fire
AS Session Nears End

Miami. Moving at a swift pace,
the AFL Executive Council dealt with
a number of important national and
international problems at it's mid
winter session here. Outstanding ac-
tions were:
Approval of a postwar housing
program which would provide nineteen
million jobs in construction, building
materials and household furnishings.
The council called on Congress to
adopt enabling legislation to put into
effect this program for building 15
million new homes in the first 10 years
after the war.
president William Green blasted
the so-called World Labor Conference
in London for giving consideration to
Soviet proposals for human repara-
tions after the war.
3-The council recommended tax
program which provides incentives to
industry for increased production dur
ing peacetime.
"A complete postwar program
was drafted by the council to further
the detectives Of full production and
jobs for all. (This program is de-
scribed in detail in other columns)-
meanwhile, the council devoted con-
siderable attention to the proposal
for reaffiliation of the United Mine
Workers with the AFL. New develop
ments in this situation resulted from
an exchange of correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Green and John L. Lewis
regarding the extent Of jurisdiction
claimed by the miners. However, nc
final decision had been reached by the
council on the issuance of charter
to the UNIV when this edition went
to press.
In it's action on the National Hous-
ing problems, the council followed the
recommendations Of Vice President
Harry C. Bates, chairman of the AL
Housing Committee and President OF
the Bricklayers Union. The program
called for tremendous upsurage Of
private construction, the redevelop.
ment of cities to wipe out slum areas
and the building of modern new com.
munities.
Mr.. Green commenting at press
conference on Russia's insistence that
German workers be enslaved anC
forced to rebuild damaged European
cities, declared such a program eco
nomically unsound and humanity inde
fensible.

the war must be punished to the limit,

To Provide 19 Million Jobs
Puerto Rican Labor
Asks Sugar Mill Vote

Washington, D. C.-P. Rivera Mar
tinez, president of the Puerto Rico
Federation of Labor, petitioned the
National Labor Relations Board to
conduct an election among the in
dustrial workers employed in the
forty-one Puerto Rico sugar mills.
Agricultural workers would be ex-
cluded from the unit.
Mr.. Martinez also appealed to the
OPO to set price for Puerto Rico
sugar which would permit the indus
try to pay wages of 40 cents an hour
for field workers and go cents an hour
for factory workers. He pointed out
that workers in the sugar industry
now earn only $3.50 year, during a
season lasting 120 days"
