New Union Vote Ordered
At Big New York Bank

New York City (ILNS) Holding that
it was not convinced that a collective
bargaining election held last Decem-
Der represented a "free expression"
of the workers choice, the State La
Dor Relations Board has directed that
new election be held among employees
of the big Public National Bank and
Trust Co. within 80 days to determine
whether they wish to be represented
by Local 23,076, American Fedora
tion of Office Employees, AFL.
In the December election the union
lost out, the vote being COL to 1862.
The local appealed, contending that
liberality by the bank in giving a
half-month's pay as a bonus and
halliday for Christmas shopping in
fluenced those employees who voted
against the union. Union leaders as
serted that for 10 years previous the
bank had given bonus of one weeks
pay and no time off for shopping.
At hearings before the board, the
bank said increasing the bonus was
in line with a general policy adopted
by all banks in the metropolitan area.

Union Protests Army Use
OF German Prisoners

Newport News, Va. (ILNS).-
Charles Marks, business agent for
the local union Of the Brotherhood of
Painters, Paperhangers and Decorat-
ors of America has protested to Of
ficials of the Army post against use
of German prisoners Of war to paint
buildings at Fort Monroe, while re-
turning veterans are unable to OBJ
tain such work.
Marks declared that in many cases
he had to discourage veterans from
registering with the union because
there were no jobs on which to place
them.
The U. s. Employment Service Of
flee in Newport News has about 80
painters on its active file seeking
work. The USES office said it was
without authority to take any action
regarding the use Of war prisoners
on military reservations.

Catholics Promote
Union Bargaining

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-Inter-
est is growing in Catholic circles in
labor management problems, with a
strong tendency to support the labor
view in promoting free collective bar
gaining" Chester Wright's Labor
Letter says. It adds:
Meetings are being held through
out the United States for the train
ing of labor men in the practical ap-
plication of the principles Of the ency-
clicals 'Rerum Novarum' of Pope Leo
XIII and Quadrogesimo Ammo of
Pope Plus VX. While supporting the
right of union organization, the
church leaders are also vitality con-
cerned about checking the growth Of
Communist principles"

Progressive Miners
Quit The A. F. OF L.

Springfield, Ill. (ILNS).-The Pro-
gressive Miners of America, in special
convention here, voted to withdraw
from the American Federation of La
Dor because of the federation's read
mission of the United Mine Workers.
The withdrawal resolution was unani-
mously approved by $50 delegates rep
resenting $4,000 members, most of
whom are in Illinois. The withdrawal
will not become effective until the
unions members have ratified it in
referendum vote, but officials said
ratification was a "mere formality."

Roosevelt used to make it work.
Possibly that was because we were
tied together in a desperate war
and possibly it wasn't.
Whatever may be the case, we sure
ly have raced into difficult position
Wis Wis the Soviets.
And, as this column has said before,
we can talk ourselves into a war if
that's what we want to do.
Knights used to insult each other,
or their girl friends, until came the
word too harsh for Honor, where
upon came the challenge to fight.
When that came there was no way
out, except through unthinkable cow
ardice.
And the scrap was on. Usually some
body got hurt, sometimes killed.
Is that the road two great nations
are taking?
VI course there are political and
economic considerations behind a lot
of the talk.
We have unsurpassed machine pow
er, with which to produce for foreign
markets as well as our own.
Russia has unlimited resources in
materials and men. Given time and
she will have the machines, too.
Iron is full of oil and oil runs ma
chimes.
Russia has borders which she seems
determined to protect" with enor-
nous areas Of contiguous territory
and with aviation what it is, "contig-
uous" can be long ways off-as far
as the Aegean, for example.
And there stands England.
Well, there ought to be room enough
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1946-03-15

Our newspapers, just few days
ago, broke forth with big headlines
saying, "U. S. Gets Tough with
Soviets."
Russia seemed inclined to procras-
tinate about getting her troops out Of
Iran and Soviet general had been
quoted as saying that his armies were
taking machinery out of Manchuria,
both actions being contrary to agree
ment.
Later on, the general denied having
said he was taking machinery.
Anyway, Secretary Byrnes made a
speech and others made speeches, in
terpreted by commentators and 9TH
ers as just about ending "appease-
ment" of the Soviets.
"Appeasement" came to be hate
full by-word after Munich, meaning
to give in before you get shot up.
So, we are supposed to be getting
tough" about matters.
Maybe that's what it is, but do we
have to say SO?
Do we have to keep adding verbal
fuel to the fire?
Wouldn't it be interesting if both
nations were to try the language of
courtesy, just once7

ganization and get into motion the
machinery there created.
At this moment we THINK no 9th
er nation has atomic bombs. But are
we sure? Not by whole lot.
But whatever may be the case
about atomic bombs, why not use
every effort to fight for peace,
solid peace, resting upon founda-
tions Of orderly procedure, orderly
adjudication Of injuries, the steady
building Of mutual respect, conf
dence and good will?
In making that road Of peace dura-
BILE we have our part to play and it
doesn't seem to me that "get tough

BATAAN GUILT

MANILA, Feb. eR)-Lt. Gen.
Masaharu Homma acknowledged
today that he issued the orders
Tor the Bataan death march, and
that he knew 100 U. S. and Filipino
war prisoners were dying daily at
notorious Camp O'Donnell.
The suave conqueror of Bataan
and Corregidor, subjected to cross
examination at his war crimes
trial, paused solemnly after a fur
ry OF prosecution questions and
declared:
I am morally responsible for
anything that occurred under my
command"
Under direct examination ear
lier in the, day, Hcmna had testi-
fled he never had heard of the trek
from Bataan to o'Donnen, on
which 1920 prisoners died, until
he surrendered to American au-
thorities in Tokyo last Sept. IS.
Then Col. Frank Meek, Caldwell
Idaho, chief of the prosecution
staff which hopes to send Homma
to the gallows, took over.
You knew you had 1000 pri-
soners of war at the fall of Ba-
taan?"

You knew you had issued an
order for them to march from

Yes" Homma replied.
Meek then drew from the jan
anese general the admission he
had not inquired into the physical
condition of the prisoners of war,
although he considered their treat
ment IAN important matter"
Homma is charged before a U.

responsibility for the deaths of

As told to the United Press
SEWARD, Alaska, Feb. 6.-W.D-
The 280 GI's aboard the shattered
Yukon were real soldiers.
Many Of them stood in water
waist deep for 40 hours awaiting
rescue. I never once heard a
complaint.
One of them told me:
Il have a buddy on Okinawa,
and from what he's told me it was
a hell Of a lot worse than this"
The crew and the women ano
children behaved like veterans too
Little five-year-old blond Mike
Shaer was one of the children low
cred into a rescue boat at the start
I guess his mother never expected
to see him again. She turned him
over to another women who hac
been told to get into the boat. Their
she had to await her turn. :,
There wasn't a peep or a cry
from Mike. He just sat up straight
in the dory, and when one OF the
sailors tried to reassure him, he
looked him straight in the eye and
said: I'm all right but bring
mother off the boat as soon as you
CAM
They met on the street in Seward
one day later.
Most Of the women and children
got off the Yukon before she broke
in half.
The break in the ship appeared
first as a four-inch crack just in
front of the smokestack. This
widened rapidly as the waves beat
tie stern and finally broke it off
