Red Cross Depends
On Unions

ASHIN GTON (LPA)-
Labor's support of the Red Cross
was lauded by an authority on
community social services here
las. week. Mrs. Agnes E. Meyer,
wife of the publisher of the
Washington P st" ano author
of a recent book on wartime
social needs, wrote in the Post
that about 20% of Red Cross
funds in Detroit come from AFL
and CIO unions, the city's
champion blood donor is a labor
man, and union representatives
on the board and executive COM
mittee have been taken in

Union To Fight
An+i-Semifism

PHILADELPHIA (LPA) - A
joint AFL-CIO campaign to
combat anti-semitism has heen
launched in this city. The cam
paign was first mapped out at a
meeting here early in January,
which brought together leaders
of the labor movement with the
national officials of the Jewish
Labor Committee. Out of it has
come a drive to combat racial
and religious bigotry, sponsored
by a large number of the or
ganized labor groups.

May-Bai|ey Work Draft Bill Slowed In Senate
AWCIO Regional Con ference Discusses Labor Problems
Oppose Draft,
Conscription,

Unanimous opposition to
the May-Bailey labor draft
bill, peacetime conscription
and the use of prisoners of
war in UAW-CIO plants was
voted by 1853 delegates rep
resenting 81 UAW plants in
Northwestern Ohio at the
regional conference held last
Saturday at Local IL head
quarters, 425 Winthrop ST.
Delegates to the conference
were welcomed to Toledo by
DR.. A. E. Lyons, professor of
economics at Mary Manse Col
lege.
DR. Lyons told the delegates,
"you have to educate yourselves.
You need education, strong
newspapers and strong leaders"
Gosser Presides
Richard Gosser, UAW-CIO
Director of Region 2-B presided
over the meeting which lasted
through Saturday afternoon. In
1 his talk to the delegates the Di-
rector stressed the importance of
PAC and said, Labor must
unite on the political front. We
will not support the Democratic
party or the Republican party.
We will support the men who
will vote to improve our eco
nomic condition regardless of
their political affiliations.
Clayton Rusch, Toledo PAC
chairman explained the work
ings of the PAC in the Toledo
area and told of the plans that
have been made to continue it
and increase its membership.
He stressed the importance of
labor working on the legislative
front for social legislation and
said that only through political
action could these gains be
achieved.
Strong objections were raised
by the delegates to permitting
prisoners of war to work in
UAW- -CIO plants. Director Cos
ser announced that none were
working in war plants where
the automotive industry was en-
gagged in war production.
Foundry problems were given
discussion with comparisons of
wage scales in these type plants.
1t was agreed that the workers
in foundries were poorly paid
and worked under conditions
which are dangerous to both
health and safety. Decision of
the delegates was to ask a state
investigation of health and
conditions in foundries in Re-
gion 2-B
Deny Manpower Shortage
Manpower came in for con-
siderable amount of discussion
with all delegates in agreement
that the manpower problem was
not present in the Toledo area
or Region 2-B.
A resolution condemning the
work or fight legislation before
congress was unanimously
adopted by the conference with
each Local represented to send
a copy to the congressman from

OF any other country, including
Great Britain: We can paddle
our own canoe. In fact, if the
final policy of government is
sound, we can do it on private
capital. In this Henry Kaiser
agreed. He said:
This investment required by
private industry to operate these

terests were forthwith cowed
into submission though they
represent many millions OF doll
lars in investments and employ
many hundreds OF thousands Of
hands.
Had anyone consulted the
liquor and restaurant and night
club interests about the curfew
they would have found that few
were opposed to the thing in
principle but that the majority
felt il should be modified to the
extent Of making the closing an
hour later which would have
broken the fall a little. But
they were not given the cour-
tesy OF consultation and that is
why 1 say the action was unjust
TO them.
I NOTICE that some OF our
newspaper coiumnists and
editorial writers whose salaries
and comforts are not disturbed
by the curfew assume a smugly
patriotic attitude toward the
order OF things now that il has
come 10 pass, but l wonder why
they were not as approving of a
closing two years ago when con.

that profited from the vast VOL
ume of visiting trade that has

Many thousands OF men and
women find employment in the
various departments of the
liquor and restaurant and night
club business. A large number
OF them are specialists who have
spent years in their particular
lines OF endeavor. Their en-
ploynent may not be strictly
essential to the war effort but
that is something they should
have been told long ago and
given the opportunity of pre-
pairing themselves for something
else instead of having their
means Of livelihood wiped out
between suns.

was discussing this problem
with Henry Kaiser who was
criticizing an article / wrote
about him and finally, I asked
what the government intended
10 do with the enormous plant
and equipment that ii owned all
over the country.
I had previously made the
point that the present bene-
ficiaries Of these operations
were really operating govern
ment-owned enterprises which
might, after the war, compete
with privately-owned enter
prises and kill them off.
II would mean socialization,

HENRY KAISER. assuming.
IL / am sure. that was criti-
cizing him, read TO me his own
platform which he subsequently
placed before a committee of
Congress and which is, TO my
mind, an excellent presentation
OF the case. He said:
In general, there are
three alternatives. The first IL
for the government to take over
and operate these plants. The
second is to junk these factories,
tear them down. or close them
up. 1 can not believe that either
Of these alternatives would rep
resent the will Of the people or
the intention of Congress. The
third alternative IL that these
facilities should be made avail
able to industry for the creation
Of employment without which
we can have neither peace nor
prosperity -.

Il present Surplus Property
Act which is elephantine in its
complexities.

"the scrambled plants" where

but frightened

At present there is no clarity
