dorsed by William Green, presi-

In message to the AFL men,

sized that "the workers of the
nation suffer from the dread di-
sease of cancer equally with all
other classes of people; the death
rate among working people re-
sulting from cancer is exceedingly
high; for. that reason labor should
join with other groups in the fight

AFL Coils On Government
To Lead About Drive To
Cut Prices, Prevent Crash

Industrial and mercantile pro-
fits today are so high that gen
eral reduction in prices is entirely
practical even if wage rates are
raised moderately.
Government Duty To Lead
Leading merchants and busin-
nessmen have publicly advised that
prices can be reduced as much as
20 per cent without anybody be-
ing hurt. If this is done gradual
ly and Systematically, we can pre-
vent recession and maintain high
purchasing power and full pro-
duction. The only real remedy for
suicidal imitation is high-volume
production at lower prices.
"No one wants the return of
government controls on prices.
But it is the duty and high func-
tion of our government to exert
leadership in the present price
crisis and to clamp the brakes on
initiation and start pushing prices
down."

While reactionaries in the House

the drive which ended in the recent
House vote to slash U. S. Depart

In February, as the reaction

Miners Made Idle
BY Closing Of
Unsafe Pits

Chicago (ILNS).-The Division
of the Placement and Unemploy-
ment Compensation, State Labor
Department, has ruled that $4,000
miners in 40 Illinois mines ordered
closed by Secretary of the Interior
j. A. Krug until they comply with
safety regulations are eligible for
jobless pay. Applicants must be
idle more than a week before they
can collect compensation.
Samuel C. Bernstein, head Of the
division, said the ruling also would
apply to men in other Illinois
mines who may stay out of the
pits until the mine safety commit
tees determine the safety of fur
ther operations.
Bernstein said Secretary Krug's
statement that other mines might
be closed if examining committees
found them unsafe gave credence
to the belief of miners, following
the explosion at Centralia, which
took Ill lives, that their lives were
endangered. This justified them
in remaining away from the jobs,
Bernstein ruled.
The ruling was made in the light
of Krug's action in closing some
mines and indicating others might
be closed if found unsafe, Bern
stein said.

Austria, that should the Allied
troops be withdrawn from that

fate of the Jewish displaced per-

templated withdrawal of Allied
troops from Austria"
The committee said in its wire

Some of the youngsters would
