Red Cross A Haven
For GIs In Europe
Observer Reports

w as hin G ton, D. Jesse o.
Thomas, assistant to the vice chair
man in charge of domestic services,
American Red Cross, has returned
from two-months' survey of Euro
pean installations.
Mr.. Thomas visited cities in Switzer-
land, France, Italy, Great Britain, and
Germany.
81 have been tremendously impress
ed with the universally of the Red
Cross program" he commented. "Not
only the soldiers, but all Americans
turn to this organization, and are able
to get information of every character"
Speaking Of the attitude of the Red
Cross personnel, Mr.. Thomas said that
many of the workers put in long hours
in buildings with no heat, giving un-
complaining service in accord with the
national policy of staying by the side
of the GI.
Although there have been isolated
instances of criticism on the part of
soldiers as we'll as Red Cross en-
ployees," Thomas said, "the large
majority have been generous in their
praise of the service and home-like
atmosphere that have been brought
to the men. Uprooted from their ma
tive culture and replanted in foreign
soil, frequently among people whose
language and social attitudes are
strange, the soldiers find the Red
Cross a haven"

UNFORTUNATELY, strikes make the

considered news. Fer this reason, a
large part Of the public may gain the
irnpfSssion th4t l&bor management
relations generally have become dis
rupted to point where regulatory
legislation and government centrol
are needed. That is not the case.
"The real trouble is that collective
bargaining is not being practiced and
never has been practiced in certain
mass production industries which are
the sore spots in the labor industry
picture.
Events have confirmed our belief
that not single strike exists IN our
nation which could not be settled sat

sincere application Of collective bar

AFL Backs Drive To Bring
GIs Home From Overseas
Green Warns War Dept To Speed Up Discharges or
Face Censure

"Now that the war is over, there
can be no justification for maintain
ing our armed forces at an excessive
ly large figure. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor is aware of the fact
that the United States will have to
keep occupation forces in Germany
and Japan for an indefinite period.
These are conquered and presumably
hostile. But the same considerations
certainly do not apply to the Philip
pines and France, where many thou
sands of American troops are still
stationed. Let's bring them home at
once.
'"The War Department has not
lived up to it's promises to the service
men. They have lost confidence in the
sincerity of it's expressed policy of
rapid rehabilitation. Their morale is
shaken.
''The American people here at home
are in no mood to tolerate such a
state of affairs. Unless the War De-
partment promptly improves and
speeds up it's rehabilitation program,
it may find itself in the position of
receiving orders from Congress to do
So"

Truman Praises AFL Record
In Keeping Down Strikes
Green Reports Only Tiny Fraction of AFL Members
Have Quit Work

Washington, d. C.-AFL President
William Green reported to President
Truman at White House conference
on Jan. II that only fraction Of one
percent of the 1000, 600 members Of
the American Federation of Labor
were out on strike.
President Truman, Mr.. Green told
newsmen later, said he was conscious
of the fact that not many AFL unions
were engaged in strikes and thanked
Mr.. Green for backing up the nations
reconversion program.
The newspapers, apparently intent
on playing up strike news in scare
headlines, ignored for the most part
Mr.. Green's highly constructive report,
copies of which were made available
to daily press.
In the report, Mr.. Green emphasiz-
ed that AFL unions were obtaining
wage increases for their members
through collective bargaining with ena-
ployers and challenged claims that coli
lective bargaining has broken down
in America.
The text of his report to the Pres
ident follows:
"As of this date, only a fraction Of
percent of the membership of the
A,,oor;oon EoJor,+;o,, of Iobo, orJ :<s
affiliated unions is on strike. Out of q
total of close to 100000 members,
only about 10000 have quit work as
the result of disputes. The figure is
approximate, but it is the most ae-
curate we can obtain from our own
sources and from the Department Of
Labor.
"That is not an excessive strike
total for the largest labor organiza-
tion in the nation. 1t is not more than
can be expected even in normal times
in free country where the right to
strike is fundamental part Of the
law of the land.
''Nor are the comparatively few cur
rent strikes by American Federation
of Labor unions dangerous to the ma
tion's reconversion program. For the
most part, they are small and scatter
ed shutdowns.
"Mr. President, the members Of the
American Federation of Labor are
busy working.
I'm every part Of the nation they
are bargaining collectively with their
employers, seeking their goals in an
intelligent and reasonable way. They
want wage rate increases and need
such increases because their take.
home T~y has been sharply cut since
the war ended and living costs ara
still climbing.
Through collective bargaining new
agreements and new contracts ars
being negotiated and signed every
day by American Federation Of Labor
unions and employers.
"Those who assert that collective
bargaining has broken down donr
know what is going on in Americas
On the contrary, collective bargaining
is functioning successfully wherever
It il put into practice sincsrsly.

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor joined the drive
of overseas veterans to get home more
quickly than the confused policies Of
the War Department permit.
AFL President William Green, re-
spending to appeals from large groups
of GIs stationed in the Pacific and in
Europe, warned the War Department
that unless it speeds up it's demobili-
zation program Congress will order
it to do so.
Confirming Mr.. Green's prediction,
the Senate Military Affairs Committee
ordered an immediate investigation of
the situation and summoned Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower, Army chief of
staff, as it's first witness.
Mr.. Green called upon the War De-
partment to reduce the size of Ameri-
can occupation forces abroad to the
lowest possible figure consistent with
safety and to speed the return of sur
plus troops eligible for discharge.
Mr.. Green revealed receipt of a
radiogram from $500 AFL members
stationed in Manila asking the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to assist in
the fight to speed rehabilitation.
Another message was received from
CT group in Manila charging that
the "unwarranted and drastic revi-
sions of the rehabilitation program
announced by the War Department
Jan. 5" constituted complete break
ing of faith with army personnel" J"
Lack of shipping is no longer a
feasible excuse for slow demobiliza-
tion," said the message. "It is OBJ
vious that the ancient argument of
military necessity is being foisted
upon the public and Congress-"
Responding to these appeals, Mr..
Green declared:

Hotels to Reduce Services.
A spokesman for Pennsylvania
Railroad reported that no decision
had been reached on curtailment
of services. He said company
committee was meeting again today
In Philadelphia.
Several Of the larger hotels were
preparing to reduce heat, hot water
and laundry services as they faced
the prospect of dwindling coal
stocks.
Frank Weakly, president of
Washington Properties which op-
crates the. Wardman Park and Carl
ton Hotels, reported little stockpiles
of coal. The Carlton, he said, usual
ly receives coal every other day,
while deliveries to Wardman Park
are made once a week.
Washington Hotel reported two
weeks supply of coal, but Frank
Swadley, manager, warned that If
the weather turned colder, the sup
ply would last only 10 days. 1t may
be necessary to cut of the heat at
certain times of the day and to
conserve on laundry operations, he
said.
L. Gardner Moore, president of
the Washington Hotel Association,
estimated that about so per cent of
the city's hotels were heated by oil.
