Big Reduction In Job
Accidents Woodworking
Industry's Plan To
Meet Labor Shortages

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). The
wartime woodworking industry is out
to meet large part of it's manpower
shortages by reducing job accidents
40 percent in the next months.
The industry's goal was made known
by Secretary of Labor Perkins, in an
nouncing the opening of cooperative
safety drive by woodworking plants,
labor unions, state labor departments,
national safety organizations, insur-
ance companies, the U. S. Department
of Labor and other federal agencies.
Meeting and maintaining this goal
will add nearly million man-days of
working time in 1916 and will mean
that many more pontoon bridges,
trailers, and aircraft, guncrates and
ammunition boxes for the Army and
Navy" Miss Perkins said
The third industry to pledge con-
centrated safety drive to meet the
Labor Departments overall goal of
a million fewer accidents in 1915, it's
present accident toll is more than
twice the national average and is one
of the 10 highest in the country.
A successful campaign would save
planning mills and wooden container
plants nearly $2,0O0,0OO a year, safe
guard the lives of 100000 workers and
keep nearly 5000 employees on the
job who otherwise would lose working
time from industrial injuries.
Composed predominantly of small
plants scattered throughout the 48
states, this industry offers a challenge
to safety engineers because of the diff
ficulty of reaching thousands of small
plant managements with the import
ance of organized safety programs.
4 Labor unions which have pledged
cooperation in the drive include the
United Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners Of America and the Coopers
International Union Of America.

GOOD HOUSING NOT LUXURY

Asking, "Does America want good
housing" Philip M. Klutznick, COM
missioner of the Federal Public Hous-
ing Agency, says ''there are disturb
ing signs to the contrary" He cites
studies estimating a need for $780,
900 houses a year for 10 years after
the war and conservatively estimat-
ing there were 100000 substandard
housing units in our urban centers in
1910.
Housing must be taken out of the
luxury class and recognized as nee
essity for all our people, Klutznick
insists. He says that although hous-
ing is the second largest item of cost
in the consumer budget, constituting
about one-fifth of the consumers to-
tai expenditures, our residential con-
struction dropped from 81 percent of
total production in the peak year of
1925 to only / percent in the depres-
sion year 1888.
people must eat in good times and
bad times," Sc says. eve know that
and our economy recognizes it. But
we treat essential shelter as some
thing nice to have when we're doing
fine, but something we must just get
along without when we need it most.
Herein lies a challenge and test both
to industry and government"

FIVE UNIONS AID
FREE LABOR DRIVE

New York Substantial gifts
from five international unions marked
the opening of the AFL's Free Trade
Union Fund campaign. The largest
single contribution is $4,000, received
from the international Brotherhood of
Teamsters.
Other internationals responding are
the Printing Pressmen, Hotel and
Restaurant Workers, Pulp, Sulphite
and Paper Mill Workers, and the Ce-
ment, Lime and Gypsum Workers.
These five organizations have also
asked their members and affiliates to
generously support the Fund. More
than so other internationals have in
dicated they will actively aid the
fund, also urging individual union
members to do likewise.
The Free Trade Union Committee
of the Labor League for Human
Rights, the AFL's war relief agency,
is sponsoring the January drive.
Proceeds from the campaign will be
used to help rebuild and strengthen
the organized labor movements in
Europe, Asia, Central and South
America.

BLOCK THE PUSH

The all-out drive for labor draft
is on. Make no mistake about it. TAX
ing advantage of the gloom and pes
simism caused by the big German
breakthrough on the western front,
the advocates of compulsory placing
of labor, with the Army and Navy
calling the moves, are in full cry.
The draft labor boys are ignoring
the cheering news from the Pacific
and the equally cheering news from
the German eastern front, where the
tremendous Russian drive threatens
to knock out the Nazis and without
much delay.
They are ignoring or brushing aside
the united opposition of labor and in
dustry. They think if they yell loud
enough and push hard enough, they
can put over compulsory service.
It's up to labor and industry and
every believer in the voluntary way
of doing things to show the draft labor
boys they cannot foist their panacea
on the country. The facts should be
made known to the nation. They show
there is no overall labor shortage;
that shortages are local and can be
corrected, with labor, industry and
government working together.
Frederick c. Crawford, chairman of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers' executive committee says that
America has manpower available ''to
carry out the new Army and Navy
production program and the machin-
cry to utilize that manpower, without
national service or labor draft legis-
lation."
Labor executives have said the
same thing as Mr.. Crawford. And if

THE MARCH OF
DIMES CAMP AIGN

"a little dime, dropped into March
of Dimes container, becomes power
full weapon of destruction against a
giant enemy-infantile paralysis"
Richard L. Kroesen, state chairman
of the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, Inc, said today in
urging that Ohioans support the an
nual Embarrassing appeal.
"It is the combined power of mil
lions and millions of dimes-and larg-
er amounts, as may be afforded-that
makes it possible for every victim of
paralysis, regardless of age, race,
creed or color to receive the best
medical care available
"When Ohio was struck last year
by the serious epidemic, money was
on hand to provide early medical care.
In many cases, this may mean the
difference between life of crippling
or normal recovery. We must support
the 1915 March of Dimes, to guard
against future epidemics, which strike
without warning and with devastating
effect"
Chairman Kroesen said that this
year, for the first time, campaigns
are scheduled in each of Ohio's 88
counties. Half of the funds raised re-
main in this county for local needs,

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

is the drive to put over compulsory
labor service on the nation and per-
haps permanent system of military
training, which is peacetime conscrip-
ton.
Official Washington's loud whoop-
ing is no reason for getting panicky
and rushing to pass hastily drafted
legislation. The stand of labor and
industry against labor draft is based
on sound reasoning and history. Ex-
perience of centuries shows that COM
pulsion never does what it is expected
to do and that it leads inevitably to
slavery or something akin to it.
Now is the time for Americans to
stop the ever increasing trend to-
ward compulsion and show the world
that free nation can continue, as it
has in the past, to wage war effect
lively without forced labor service. In
stead of talking and planning for
more compulsion, there should be more
effective use of manpower recruiting
machinery already functioning. 1t has
proved it's worth and can be made
even more efficient.
Instead of talking and plotting for
compulsion, there should be planning,
and above all, action, to relieve any
labor shortages that may exist by
sending workers where they are need
ed.
Labor unions all over the nation
are proving this can be done. The
AFL has cited many concrete exam
pies. 1t is being done and it is work
ing. More and more of this kind of
action, with labor, industry and gov
ernment pulling together with all
their might, will solve manpower
problems and give a conclusive an
swer to the advocates of compulsion.
And as stated before, it will show
what free Americans can do, thereby
encouraging and inspiring growth of
freedom throughout the world

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 22.-Perry T..
Ford, of Columbus, today took office

partment, Mr.. Ford said: 81 recognize
the immensity and Importance of the
task ahead of men and expect to pro-
ceed cautiously"
A veteran civil engineer, Mr.. Ford's

Predictions on military affairs Of
ten prove wrong. To cite one recent in
stance, the military commentators
were sure last fall the Germans were
on the run in the west and were close
to final defeat. Some even named the
date for the end of the European war,
setting it as early as Oct. 81.
Then the German resistance stiff
fened along the western front, holding
the Allies in many places. Finally
came the breakthrough of Marshal
Won Runstedt the middle of Decem-
Der, delaying the general Allied adj
vance, perhaps for months. Now the
German wedge has been almost wiped
out and Won Runstedt may be back
where he started from, before this is
printed.
Though predictions are risky, this
column thinks that the great Russian
advance across Poland promises to
give the final knockout to the Nazis.
They will fight desperately and may
hold the Russians for awhile on the
Oder River or some other line. But the
Russian armies appear SO overwhelm-
ing in size and equipment, to say moth
ing of their spirit, compared to the
Germans, that Nazi defeat-and soon
seems certain
Early German defeat by the Rus
slams might make many of the plans
of American officialdom for big in
creases in the military and war pro-
duction forces seem silly, just as their
optimism of last fall looked silly in
the dark days of the last half of De-
cember.
Officialdom, however, military and
civilian, hates to admit for a moment
that it may be even partly mistaken
and can be depended upon to continue
it's fervent and vociferous pleas for
huge military and war production ex-
pansion. More serious than the pleas,
