ACLU Upholds Free

ciplining fremen for airing their

The brief points out that firemer

Why Not Outlaw It?
valentine Bausch, in Machinists'
Monthly JournaD

Instead of adopting peacetime con-
scription as national policy, thereby
making that abominable blood tax a
universal institution among the vic
torious powers, why shouldn't we
throw all our influence behind move
to outlaw it, everywhere in the world
Why should we not draw up an
armament limitation convention that
would allot to every nation volunteer
contingents of air, ground and naval
forces in proportion to its size, popu-
lation and resources and that would
rule out compulsory military service
in all lands as breach of interna-
tional law?
What a searching and convincing
test this would be for the truly
"peace-loving" character of the gov
ernments of the world! | say ad-
visedly governments, because it is
unthinkable to me that any people
after the grim horrors of world
butcheries, would not grasp eagerly
at any sane and reasonable sugges-
tion for diminishing the burden of
armaments and the danger of new
wars.

President Truman Seen
Following Roosevelt's
LabOr Polio i e S

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) )-Presi-
dent Truman's action in approving the
Downey bill providing for a Is per-
cent increase in base pay and true
overtime pay for government workers
was interpreted in labor circles as
evidence of his intention of following
Roosevelt's labor policies, Chester
Wright's Labor Letter says.
"More specifically" the Labor Let
ter comments, "it is regarded as a
forerunner of wage increases in pri-
vate industry to meet increased living
costs or to maintain purchasing power
during the reconversion period.
Roosevelt held firmly to wage sta
bilization but held out the promise to
labor of wage increase after the
war. Labor had to accept the for
mula, but labor leaders express little
confidence in the governments ability
to deliver a substantial wage in
crease.
prices are more likely to increase
during the reconversion period, anC

just wages to living costs.
"Truman's interest in wage in
creases is, therefore, very practica
consideration in labor circles"

Hours OF Work Reduced
In New York Shipyards

New York City ILNS).-Incomes
of 100000 shipyard and ship repair
workers in the New York area have
been considerably lowered by a War
Shipping Administration order re-
quiring contractors on shipbuilding
and ship repair contracts to reduce
hours of work.
There have been moderate layoffs
in recent weeks, though no wholesale
dismissals are expected for 3 or
months.
AS result of the reduction in hours
and expected further reduction in en-
ployment, unions are reported plan
ming to ask for wage increases.
Heretofore, workers on an 8-hour
schedule could work 10 hours on week
days and receive IL hours pay. On
Sundays they worked hours at double
time, but hereafter they will be per-
mitted to work Sundays only on spec
ial order from VISA on rush jobs.
Saturday work hours remain the
same, enabling the workers to earn
IL hours pay, but weekday schedules
will be limited to hours at 91a hours
pay.

Wage Raise Approved
For Textile Workers

Washington, d. C. ULNS)-Wil-
liam H. Davis, Director of Economic
Sterilization, has approved general
wage increase of cents an hour and
an increase in the minimum wage rate
from SO cents an hour to 55 cents for
about $4,000 textile workers in Sd
southern and northern mills, as di-
rected by the War Labor Board.
The increases may be extended to
the rest of the 100000 workers in the
industry.
Davis said that neither his office nor
the OPA had taken into consideration
the wage adjustments which may pos
sibly result from another provision in
the WLB order. That was the clause
directing the parties to negotiate "a
more balanced and properly aligned
wage-rate structure" The WLB fixed
certain guide rates to which the struc-
ture is to be related.
"If," said Davis, 'the OPA subse-
quently reports that the adjustment
ultimately approved or ordered by the
board in that connection will require
price relief, this office will make a
final determination thereon"

Curfew Is Failure,
Union Head SAYS

New York City (ILNS).-The mid
night curfew for amusement places is
failure as coal-saver and stimu-
liant to public morale, David Siegal,
head of the Hotel and Restaurant
Workers Joint Board, comprising 13
local AFL nuions and $4,000 workers,
charges in letters to Washington Off
cials.
Siegal said that figures of the Con-
solidated Edison Co. show saving of
only three -tenths of / percent in the
utility's annual coal consumption. His
survey, he said. showed further that
the reaction to the curfew by service
men has been definitely unfavorable. y
From our angle, the letters said,
"the immediate effect of the curfew
has been a loss of employment to
thousands of workers in this industry
who, because of age and lack of any
specific training or skill, have con-
tributed nothing to the general man.
power shortage in this area.
"1t is my firm conviction that the
disadvantages resulting from the cur
few directly far outweigh any pos
sible gain either in fuel saving OF
morale. To the contrary, the resent
ment of most service men on leave in
the city at their inability to obtain
even food after midnight has if any
thing, lowered service mems morale

Labor Draft Dropped
In New Bedford

New Bedford, Mass. (ILNS).-The
War Manpower Commission has aban-
doned it's attempt to draft textile
labor for New Bedford tire cord mills.
Labor, management and the city gov
ernment vigorously opposed the draft
attempt and fought it from the very
beginning
Arthur C. Gernes, VINO regional
director, said that the commission had
dropped the forced labor draft be-
cause the federal government had
placed orders for 100000 yards of
critical fabrics in the fine goods cot
ton mills of New Bedford. He said
that the fine goods mills would be re-
quired to retain all their workers
Heretofore, the Fisk and Firestone
Tire Cord mills have been the TOP
priority war industry of the city.
A sharp rise in military orders for
use in the Pacific campaign involves
20 fabrics, including airplane ano
glider and jungle cloth, insect netting
wind resistant cottons and cambric
for insulation.
The VINO attempted, with scant
success, to transfer workers from the
fine textile mills to the cord fabric
plants.

events again have proved the wis
dom of the American Federation of
Labor's unfaltering and unalterable
opposition to the enactment of COM

AFL executive council declared here.
The council continued:
"The defeat of this legislation in
Congress has not injured the war pro-
duction program. On the contrary,
production records were broken and
schedules exceeded in March, accord
ing to official announcement.
Nor has the absence of compulsory
labor controls resulted in more man.
power shortages, as many official au-
thorities predicted. The opposite is
true. In recent weeks, several cities
have been taken off the critical list
and manpower needs are being met in
every important war industry.
Finally, and most important of all
voluntary labor in America has sue.
ceeded in backing up the victory drive
on the fighting fronts with amazing
success. Our armed forces have not
lacked materials or equipment. In
fact, the overwhelming superiority OF
their equipment has proved the de-
cisive factor in winning the war in
Europe and in turning the tide
against Japan.
To-day we hear no more talk OF
the need of forced labor"

ance with their joint request that he
name board to expedite and coordi-
nate the war efforts of the maritime
industry.
The board proposes to make adjust
ments in bonuses in the Atlantic
Ocean and adjoining waters in two
steps based on the extent and degree
of reduction in hazard in these areas.
Upon determination of substantial
changes in hazard in the Pacific
Ocean and adjoining waters, bonus
rates for these waters will be appro-
priately adjusted depending upon the
degree of risk in specific areas.
