Affiliate With Your Central Labor Union!

CHICAGO-(FP)-The 65th AFL convention here adopted a report ex- pressing the hope that more interna- tional unions would recommend that their locals affiliate with central labor bodies.
 Adoption of the report came after Pres. Frank X. Martel of the Detroit & Wayne County Federation of La Dor charged that "some international unions have a policy of seeing that their members have no contact with central bodies"
 The report submitted by Pres. Will liam C. Birthright of the Journeymen Barbers Int1. Union pointed out that 71% of the eligible unions have affili- ated with state federations while only 38% of all locals have become afili- ated with city central labor unions.

CHICAGO-(FP) = At the in- struction of his majesty's government in London, the "most excellent order of commander of the British empire" was conferred on AFL Pres. William Green here before delegates to the 65th AFL convention.
 Archibald Gordon, British labor att, tache in Washington, pinned the rib bon on Greens lapel, explaining that the formal insignia of office would be conferred by the British ambassador when it arrives in this country.
 Smaller ribbons, indicating awards of the kings medal, were given AFL vice-presidents Matthew Woll and David Dubinslcy.
 The convention wildly applauded the recognition of its leaders by the British spokesman.

Miners Welfare Fund Climbs To 
Is Financed By Levy Of Sc On Each Ton Of Coal
 Mined

Washington (LPA)-While Presi- dent William Green was telling the AFL convention in Chicago that health and welfare funds would hence forth be an objective of all AFL unions, the government disclosed that the welfare fund of the United Mine Workers-AFL now amounts to $5,- 782, 416.
 The welfare fund is admittedly the reason why the nations soft coal oper- ators have stalled for months on re- turn of the mines to private owner ship. They have the backing of anti union employers in every section of the country. Their chief hope is that the new Congress will be sufficiently reactionary to outlaw all welfare funds.

DOZENS OF VOLUMES
 At present." he wrote the li- brary, ''the evidence occupies a re- cord of dozens of heavy volumes. In its present voluminOus state, very few will have the time to read it and give it the attention which it deserves. I therefore request that you assign to the staff of the legis- lative reference service the task of making a summary of this evil dence, of about 30 to 50 pages in length.
 Tt is my purpose" Taylor said, Ito obtain Senate consent to the pub ication of this story of the Nazi- Fascist war plan as a Senate docu- ment, SO that it will be available either free or at very small charge to millions of Americans through the government printing office.
 "The story of the war-crimes plot should be read by every civilized per- son in the world, and hope the other governments will also make it wide ly available"

Army Is Expected To In- tensify Its Drive When
 Congress Reconvenes

Washington (LPA)-LabOr Iead- CTS here have indicated continued union opposition to the current War Department proposals for compulsory military training. The present plan, drawn up after bills for peace time draft were rejected by the last Congress, was unveiled by War Secretary Patterson at the American Legion convention.
 Since the Legion meeting, the Army has suspended all draft calls for the remainder of the year. About 50,000 to 6OO00 had been scheduled to be inducted during the 25z month period The Army also announced that, for economy reasons, it was cutting its strength by one-fourth by Jan. 1, 1o47.
 When Congress reconvenes the Army is expected to intensity its drive for its program, which provides |:
 1. Every boy between Y and 19 would be required to register, after that all 17-year-olds would have to register. Training would start when they became 18, or finished secondary school-in any case before 20.
 2. One year of training. Half would be basic training, within regular military units though the men would not be subject to com bat operations requirements. The second six months would be Occu- pied by: D continued service in the regular armed forces; p en- listment in any of the regular ser- vices, in the Natl Guard, or in the Enlisted Reserve Corps; 3 en- trance into one of the service acad- emies; 4 enlistment in the Reserve Corps and entrance into a college

 Ask Special Session
 Before turning their attention to the new Congress, delegates called or Pres. Truman to convene an emerg- ency session of the 7oth Congress to enact the Wagner-Ellender- Taft hous- ing bill and ease the nations housing crisis.
 The dismal record of the 7oth Con- gress was condemned by the conven- ton in resolution urging "all-out political action" against labor's enc mics.
 News of Pres. Truman's order de- controlling meat prices brought swift convention reaction. Delegates prompt ly called for removal of all controls but those on rents and demanded dis solution of the Wage Stabilization Board as prelude to opening of a wage increase campaign.
 American Policy"
 Describing high wages as "the dis tinctively American policy" the wage report adopted by the delegates as- serted that sustained progress "re- quires that wage increases be paid out of increased output" In similar vein Pres. Truman's message to the con- vention declared that full production must be labor's contribution in the war against imitation.
 Although Sec. of Labor Lewis B. Schwellbach was not invited and Stabilization Director John Steelman was unable to attend the convention, the administration was represented by Sec. of War Robert Patterson, Air Gen. Carl Spaatz, Veterans Admin strator Omar Bradley and Atty. Gen. Tom Clark.
 Warnings of war with an un. named aggressor and emphasis on communism dominated their con. vention addresses. More outspoken AFL official speakers virtually call. ed for war with Russia and re. ported on AFL plans for combating communism at home and abroad. Establishment of an AFL office in Europe and indOrsement of the work of the Free Trade Union Com. mittee of the Labor League for Human Rights underscored the con. vention's rejection of affiliation

 A unanimously adopted resolution on peace treaties warned against "ap- basement of obstruction" and de- clared that the USRR "seeks dom- iration of other peoples lives and countries, not freedom" For the U. s. the delegates recommended a policy of continued vigor and firm ness" in international relations. At the same time they indorsed the Baruch plan for control of atomic energy, ap- proved a special 1,500-word report condemning communism and called on Britain to promptly admit 100000 Jews to Palestine. A resolution urg- ing severance of relations with Franco Spain and recognition of the republi- can government-in-exile was referred back to the executive committee.
 Sharpest floor debate came when delegates from smaller unions pro- tested that a law committee pro- posal for increasing per capita taxes discriminated in favor of the big unions. The opposition was beaten down after parade of ex- ecutive council members argued for the increase, which sets per capita payments at 2c per member up to 100000 members, 11ac per mem Der over that and S6c per member for federal labor unions and local unions.

inch figures.
In the hands of this artist, clay,
lace and color are magically trans
formed into characters from the
pages of early American history,
authentic in the last detail, since
Miss McNeill is an authority on the
times, and works with painstaking
exactitude. She makes her own
plaster casts, designs and makes
each costume, as well as creating the
figure itself.
Imbued with the belief that Amer
leans need not look to Europe for
copies of Dresden art, but have un-
touched stores of materials that
await quickening under the hands
of artists here, Miss Mcneil is dem
onstrating in her creations the valid
ity of that belief.
Each creation is signed L. Nc
Neill and is a thing of beauty, as
we'll as a collectors item. At pres
ent, she is contemplating follow
up of her colonial drawing room
figures with nineteenth century fig
urines, and perhaps specific groups
of historical interest.
Miss McNeill is enthusiastic about
Arizona, and Nogales in particular.
She studied fine arts in San Fran
cisco, but hopes to make Arizona
her permanent home, and has No
gales under consideration, if she can
find a place to house her kilns and
a studio in which to work.
