workers are to remain free men and
keep their free choices democracy—
as a living faith, as a living reality—
must be equipped to meet the threat
of totalitarianism within and without.
Labor has been—and is—cooperating
wholeheartedly throughout the entire
defense effort.
"Until very recently no single se
rious interruption of production in
defense industries had occurred and
then only two such work-stoppages
took place—the first lasting six work
ing days and the second four days.
"This record is ample evidence that
labor recognizes the importance of
continuous production to meet de
fense needs. Labor again reaffirm
its assurance of cooperation with the
national defense program and further
pledges itself to take 110 action which
may in any way impede production
before all conciliation facilities of the
Federal government for resolving any
existing controversy have been ex
hausted."
This statement failed to point out
that the two strikes affecting the de
fense program involved CIO unions
and that there has not been a single
strike by any American Federation
of Labor union which has impeded
the Government's preparedness ef
forts.
Most of the crackpot suggestions
from anti-labor spokesmen were aim
ed at depriving labor of the right to
strike. A prompt survey by the
American Federation of Labor's legis
lative bureau showed that such i
proposal could command only a hand
ful of votes in Congress and that
sentiment was overwhelmingly
against it.
Administration leaders emphasized
that it would be folly to sacrifice the
democratic rights of labor as the first
step in a program designed to safe
guard American democracy.
Government representatives from
every Federal agency involved in the
national defense program emphasized
that the record of cooperation of the
American Federation of Labor and
its affiliated unions has been ICO per
cent.
The policy of the American l-Vdei
ation of Labor was clearly enunciated
at the recent GOth annual convention
in New Orleans which unanimously
adopted resolutions pledging full and
sincere support of the defense pro
gram, even if such support entail:
strict self-discipline and important
sacrifices.
However, the CIO Vultee strike on
the West Coast, which Attorney Gen
eral Jackson attributed partly to
Communist machinations, and other
fimilar developments in the (.'TO camp
have given anti-labor group»"an ex
cuse to pounce on all of organ if vj,
labor with unrestrained attacks.
Fortunately the Administration is
completely out of sympathy with
these anti-labor forces and the few
supporters of anti-strike laws will
find themselves out in the
cold.

going to be some party. The cxecu
tives of the Salem China are playing
a big part, so we ask all the offic
force to attend and have a good linn

us to extend an invitation to our nati

the trip out to see Old Saint Nick.

Nominations for new officers were
made at the last meeting. He sure you

elect the people you want to see in

faces at the last meeting and we hope
they will become steady attenders.
The Welfare Club elected the fol
lowing officers for next year: Harry
Vincent, president Bruce ('ope, vie
president Helen Kaley, secretary
Thelma McFeely, treasurer Carroll
Mohr, Arthur King and Leona Wal

bodied in the Wagner-McCormack
amendments supported by the Ameri

of workmen's compensation coverage
to temporary and casual workers and
to employments now excluded is also
•ery necessary.
Undoubtedly the most outstanding
means of stabilizing residence in a
community for low income workers
and in reducing pressure to migrate
is the provision of housing, rural as
well as urban, under the programs of
the United States Housing Authority
and Farm Security Administration.
This practical program reaching, and
giving assistance to, our lowest in
come farmers and providing for de
cent but simple housing for their
families must be assured continuation
through authorization of additional
funds under the United States Hous
ing Act.
"To meet the most immediate needs
of workers who have already become
migrants, the American Federation of
Labor has successfully urged ade
quate appropriations of the contin
uation of the Migratory Labor ('amp
Program of the Farm Security Ad
ministration. This program which is
so necessary to meet the require
ments of migrant workers and which
has done so much to alleviate the suf
fering of migratory farm families
should be further expanded.
"In addition to housing, provision
should be made for health and medi
cal care of the families of migratory
workers. The American Federation of
Labor suggests that to this end your
committee recommend to Congress a
federal program of grants-in-aid to
states and of uniform state stand
ards of assistance which would make
it possible to deal with the problem
nationally."

the Sears & Roebuck Company In pro
moting the sale of Japanese china and
dinner ware. It seems this company
has not changed their attitude, since
they have not even shown us the
courtesy of answering a letter of pro
test written by the secretary of the
Trades and Labor Council. Therefore,
we request our membership through
out the country to remember this in
the future, especially while doing your
Christmas shopping. Deal only with
stores that have shown themselves
friendly towards union labor and the
"Buy American" movement. Such
action as has been taken by the Sears
Company is a direct slap in the face
of the American pottery worker, and
any potter dealing with this firm can
not have the interest of the industry
at heart.
This company boasts they have pur
chased seven car loads of Japanese
dinner ware, to be sold on the Ameri
can market hi competition with the
products of the American industry,
although the word competition is
meaningless when the wage scales of
the two countries are compared. This
concern fails to state how much war
material Japan will buy with the
money r»*ceived. Please stop and think
before purchasing German or Jap
anese goods. Just how much are you
contributing to the miseries of the
unfortunate people under the despotic
rule of these war mad nations.
You would not help load a plane
with bombs to be dumped on a de
fenseless people, yet your purchase
of goods made in these countries may
help furnish the bomb that demolishes
the home, or snuff out the life of some
of the people, who are unfortunate
to be living in a country under the
attack of the monster. Will the few
cents you think you save compensate
you for the thoughts that you may
be indirectly responsible for the suf
fering of someone more unfortunate
than you?
We in our great America cannot
realize the heartache and suffering of
these people, but through our refusal
to purchase goods made in these
countries we can show our disapproval
of the action of their oppressor. We
should be? ever so thankful that we
are permitted to live in a country
such as ours. So at this Christmas
time, let us fervent prayer be God
Bless America.

who are in arrears will find it pos

The Christmas spirit is in evidence
in the various departments, as there
are quite a few with their heads to
gether and those secretive looks that
tell very definitely they are preparing
for our annual Christmas party.
The nomination of new officers was
opened last meeting night and re
member it will be open until next
meeting night. It behooves each of us
to get out and vote for the one of
our choice, not yell after the election
that the man you wanted lost out and
blame the other fellow for not voting
your way. That is the trouble with
some of our membership. They de
pend too much on the other fellow to
carry the burdens and then forget the
obligation they owe.
