Strike Against
Meof Packers

Chicago (FP)-President Ralph
Helstein of the United Packing
house Workers announced Nov. II
that word has been sent to the
membership to prepare for strike
action within two weeks against
the Big Four packing companies.
Action came following a 2-day
conference of 200 UPW local lead
ers who voted to set up 27-man
strike strategy committee. Hell
stein said all locals, covering 2O0,-
workers, had been instructed "to
complete within two weeks the col
lection of strike funds and the
establishment of machinery for
strike action"
Pointing out that a membership
referendum had already over
whelmingly approved strike,
Helstein said that stalemated ne
gotiations with the Big Four, un-
derway since. August, left no alter
native but to step up strike plans.
He emphasized, however, that
wage talks would continue with
Swift and the others of the Big
Four = Armou Wilson n d

peaceful settlement can be reached
through collective bargaining" he
said. "We know the packers have
made unprecedented profits in the
past few years and they have sue
cessfully pressured the govern
ment into abolishing price con-
trolls"
The UPW is asking 81 hourly
minimum, guaranteed annual
wage, a health and welfare fund
and a cost of living bonus.

New York (FP)-Reports that
hundreds and possibly thousands
Of small newspapers may have to
close up shop in the weeks ahead
unless they get newsprint were
heard here Nov. ] at a meeting
attended by 65 editors, publishers
and printers Of labor, fraternal,
foreign and community publica-
tions.
The situation, which has grown
increasingly acute in the past two
months, was described with anger
and alarm as the meeting heard
charges that large daily news
papers in collaboration with the
near-mOnopoly newsprint industry
were engaged in a deliberate at
tempt to freeze out the minority
and labor press.
Attended by men and women
from cities as much as 300 miles
away, the meeting set up com
mittee Of small newspaper publish
ers throughout the nation.
A representative Of the Senate
small business committee investi-
eating the newspaper industry told
the meeting it is deeply concerned
about the problem and invited the
group TO submit information at
committee hearings scheduled to
begin Dec. IL in Washington.
Publishers Of AFL and Go
papers heartily indorsed proposals
that the national officers Of the
two groups be urged to exert their
full influence with the government
to make an immediate and contin-
uing supply Of newsprint avail
able.
Lewis VI. HERMANN, represent
ing the International Labor Press
of America, said that since the
recent AFL convention he had re-
ceived more than 100 letters from
AFL editors saying they would be
forced to suspend publication un-
less they could get newsprint inn
mediately.

mooney said: Our idea is that
Germany, as well as England,
should state just what their aims
of the war should be and then the
U. S. could decide to enter the war
or stay out Of the war, or even to
try to come to some understanding
between the belligerent nations. !"
Germany also received oil during
the early days of the war in Eu-
rope from Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey and from an Independent oil
promoter, William R. Davis. Davis
was also one of the most persis-
tent Intermediates for the NaZis
and made many efforts to inter-
cede with President Roosevelt
against any action unfavorable to
Germany.
This is but a glimpse of the ac-
tivities of American industry on
behalf of the Nazis even as they
marched half of Europe. The full
story of interlocking cartels that
sabotaged U. S. production and
that revealed industrial secrets to
German companies is not touched
upon in this report. But other in
quiries have shown that in far too
many cases, U. S. industry placed
its own profits above the inter-
ests of the American people.
The next article in this series
will deal with the Rogge revela-
tions on the Nazis and the U. S.
press.

ALLAN l.. FLETCHER

(Second of series of articles
based on the suppressed Rogge
report.)
New York (FP)-The elaborate
machinery by the Nazis used in
their drive for world power had
many and strong connections in
the u. S. and one of the most
powerful links with the tie be-
tween German and American his
tory.
Former Assistant Attorney Gen
eral o. John Rogge in his suppress
sed report to the Justice Depart
ment declared that the broad
sphere of this relationship was
outside the scope of his investiga-
tions and urged the antitrust divi-
sion of the department to make a
special study of the entire ques-
tion.
His report nevertheless lays bare
a revealing segment of the atti
tude of some major American in
dustrialists toward the NaziS in
the period Immediately prior to
U. S. entry into World War II.
Joachim Hertslet, director of
the German economic ministry,
told Rogge that Torkild Rieber,
former chairman of the board of
the Texas Co., was one of those
who "speculated that Germany
would win the war;"
AS result, the Texas Co. sold
much oil to the German navy and
Rieber himself had frequent con-
sultations with prominent Nazis.
He was reported to have had sew
eral talks with Goering and to
have cooperated closely with Nazi
agents sent to this country to
"build up good will for Germany"
During a visit to the u. S. by
Won Ribbentrop's personal agent,
Gerhardt Alois Westrick, who was
a Berlin lawyer for many U. S.
corporations, Rieber bought him a
Buick automobile with $1,570 of
the Texas Co.'s funds. When this
deal became known in 1910, Rieber
was forced to resign his post as
chairman of the board and also as
director of the Texas Corp. and it's
subsidiary, the Texas Co.
Westrick also had close connec-
tions with President Sosthenes of
the international Telephone q
Telegraph Co., Vice President
James d. Mooney of General
Motors Corp, Eberhard Faber of
the Faber Co., and Edsel and
Henry Ford.
In the hands of Justice Robert
H. Jackson's staff at Nuremberg,
Rogge reported, is a letter from
Westrick to Behn, written after
the Nazis overran Czechoslovakia,
in which Westrick proposed the
division of the assets Of a Czech
oslakian company.
Westrick said that during a visit
to Mooney of GIN at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel, Mooney ION his own
initiative told me that he and a
group of other people had the in
tention of seeing the President and
trying to convince the President |
that he should insist on normal
political relations between the U.
S. and Germany. This was after |
Germany had invaded France,
Belgium and Norway.
