The volunteer cast of this patriotic
revue have come from all parts of
Canada, and are giving their time and
experience as a war service without
remuneration. At the 52d annual con
vention of the American Federation of
Labor in Toronto, they presented the
revue before l.UOO delegates and their
wives and families and members of
the federation's executive board.
Seen Moral Builder
"In my opinion." said Ceorge Smith,
president of Carpenters Local 83 and
of the Halifax District Trades a.nd
Labor Council, Tull Together Canada'
will do more to build lip national
morale than anything that has been
produced on the stage or screen so far
in this war."
Arthur Phillips, secretary of the
Atiilia.ted Trades Council, AFL, and
recording secretary of Machinists'
Local 1250, writing on behalf of the
council said:
"The revue captivated the hearts of
all, and we feel that everyone who
has seen it has realized that the goal
we are striving for is so much greater
than .the present task, that he or slit
will be inspired to speed up the job
so that victory and a new world of
peace and happiness may be estab
lished."
Cast Wins Confidence
The revue lias been part of an ex
tensive campaign for a new spirit in
industry with the working force of
union members and business men who
comprise the cast giving of their prac
.tical experience and knowledge to
solve the problems in each area where
they presented 'Tull Together Can
ada." They have quickly won the con
fidence of both men and management.
During the day they made hundred*
of visits to the homes of the miners,
steel workers, and shipyard workers—
and this in itself won for them a warm
spot in the hearts of the hospitabk
Nova Scotians. The cast also met: tIn
men on the job attended local union
meetings met with management and
union odicials and talked through their
product ion problems.
Labor Heads Take Part

In addition, the plant has had to
drop-live or six lines of Mower pots
eliminate all but about 10 per cent of
its "color" lines, and reduce .the out
put of kitchen ware by HO per cent.
Just as the ilemand for "home brew'
stoneware dropped like a plummet
after prohibition's repeal, so llossi
looks for a similar condition after this
war, hence new color lines may
expected to be developed.
So far the plant has not been ha.ndi
capped seriously by manpower dilli
culties. Improved processes have mad'
it possible to sell certain stoneware
today at the same prices charged in
HKi'2, though wages have been in
creased.
In recent years, said Rossi, the plant
has been aide to reduce absorption in
its stoneware from llVa to r»!L' per
cent and .thus be able to compete o:
an equal footing with eastern pottery
made from clay superior to that found
in this state.
ARMY MADE A MISTAKE
(From the Journal of Electrical
Workers)
A traveler who has recently taken
a tour through the western states re
ports that lie found in some of tlu
local slaughterhouses that milk cows
are being slaughtered at an enormou
rate. This was taken place whilt
everywhere reports wen* evident .that
there was a shortage of butter, milk
and other dairy products. Here is on»
of those terrible maladjustments of
our economic system that, make men
grow weary of the struggle to im
prove it.
The cause for .the slaughter of lit
milk cows seems to have been tin
draining off from the farms of farm
help. Farm dairies are more depend
ent upon skilled and competent hilioi
than any other branch of the fanning
industry. When the Army took tlnir.v
bauds for mechanics without consider
ing the serious effect of this upon fo
production, it made a mistake. It
high time the War Manpower Com
mission began to face this situation
and began to improve it.
Nova Scotia
Workers Give Big Hand To
Popular Patriotic Revue
PULL TOGETHER CANADA—MORALE BUILDER
Halifax, N. S. (ILNS).—Over 7,000 Nova Scotia shipyard
workers, union officials, company heads and their wives and fam
ilies have been flocking' into the Halifax naval barracks, to see the
special presentations of Canada's patriotic revue, "Pull Together,
Canada," and hear its victory program of "Sound Homes—Team
work in Industry—A United Nation," dramatized in stirring songs,
and dramatic scenes of home, industry, and government.
After its highly successful tour in the coal and steel areas of
Nova Scotia, "Pull Together Canada" was given a warm welcome
in Halifax where it was presented under the joint sponsorship of
From Capitol Hill
By EARL K. LEWIS, M.C.
18th Ohio District
In ilie tirst two months of its life
the TJSlh Congress has demonstrated to
the country its independence of the
Chief Executive and its determination
to exert the rights ami prerogatives of
the legislative branch of the govern
ment. The new Congress is also fast
making a name for itself by its de
mands for economy, which are backed
U)) deep slashes in the appropria
tions thus far voted for non-military
purposes. The number of Congressional
investigations already started speak
strongly of the efforts being made to
eliminate the bureaucratic duplica
tions, social experimentation, extrava
ance and inelliciency, now interfer
ing so much with the war effort. While
the 7Sth Congress may have its faults,
it certainly cannot be called a "rubber
stamp" Congress. Seemingly those
days are gone forever.
Developments during the week just
past indicate a "change for the better
and it is felt here that this change
resulted directly fropn the criticism
and suggestions offered by both Demo
era tic and Republican Members of
Congress regarding the programs and
procedures of various government
agencies.
Overhauling Of OPA
Price Administrator Prentiss M.
Brown appearing before the Sennit
Ranking and Currency Committee last
week invited members of that com
mittee to assist him in a general over
hauling of the price control program.
At the same time he described his plan
to change OI'A policies and practices
which will simplify the entire OPA
structure by April 1st. It is reported
that Administrator Brown has already
scaled down his OPA Budget for 11)44.
and that he has no intention of build
ing U)i a huge staff such as that which
was planned by his predecessor.
Deferment Of Farm Workers
Although it comes late, the order on
Saturday of War Manpower Commis
sioner McNutt to the Selective Servic
Hoard to stop the induction of essen
tial, experienced farm workers even if
that should leave calls for military
manpower unfilled, has adtled a con
structive touch to the faltering man
power program. It is reported, also,
that a committee of high odicials ami
advisors to the President are studyin
the manpower problem, it appears
that this committee is fundionin
much as the P.aruch comnii.ltce on rub
ber did. 11 is hoped that the committee
will go to the "roots" of the manpower
problem and that a clarification of
this very controversial issue will hi!
forthcoming soon.
Doiighton Bill Pending
By the .time this column appears in
print the Ways and Means Committee
will probably have reported out tin
Daughton Rill, which provides foi
raising the national debt limit l'roi:
one hundred and twenty-five to 1w
hundred and ten billion dollars, and
carries with it the Disney aniendmein
which would set aside the Presidential
order limiting earning incomes I
twenty-live thousand net per year. Th
Disney amendment would freeze a I
salaries over twenty-five hou.su
dollars net at the rates prevailing o
Dec. 7, 11(41— liit day of .the I'eai
Harbor attack. Salaries below twenu
five thousand dollars will not IK
frozen, "nut any increases will be sub
jeet, as at present, to approval by flu
Treasury before acceptance as a busi
ness expense deduction. R.v this ac
lion the Congress invalidates tin
President's executive order tin salary
limitation, which was issued last
September, the legality of which lia
been in grave question.
"A Trial Balloon"
The question of a fourth term for
President lloosevelt in 11)44 was
brought forth last week by his friend?
and supporters at the observance o
his tenth anniversary in the Whit
House. 1 can think of no controversy
more likely to arouse political passim
and thus divert attention from the all
importanl business of winning the war

Bottom Reached In Saving
Oi Lives By Driving Curbs
Further Decrease Must lie
Earned, Says Safety Body
Chicago (ILNS). The decline in
traflic deaths brought about by war
time restrictions tin driving has readi
ed rock bottom and a further decline
must be earned by safe driving, th.
National Safety' Council says.
January's death toll of 1,730 was
"about on par," the council says, with
totals tif the proceeding 3 months. De
cember showed a 4(5 per cent decrease,
November 43 per cent and October 48
per cent.
"Thus it appears," says the council,
that the nation has cashed in on the
'bonus' for saving In life that resulted
automatically from wartime restric
tions tin speed and milage, and that
any further savings must be earned
the hard way.
"Furthermore, since today's traffic is
vital trathe, or it wouldn't be on the
road, every accident directly atl'ects
the war effort.
"There is only tint* sure way to re
duct* the accident toll from now on
a concerted, patriotic effort by every
driver and pedestrian to prevent acci
dents by using consideration, care and
common sense."
In sharp contrast with the genral
reductions, the traflic toll lias shot up
in certain dimout and war production
areas, the council reports. In New
York City, for example, traflic deaths
rose from 71) a year ago to 100 this
January.
To determine how much of this in
crease was due to dimout conditions,
the council has sent a traiiic enginee:
to New Yol'k to study the situation and
help find a remedy. Similar studio
will be made in other dimout and wai
production areas.
Ask for Union Labeled merchandise.
Having launched what may be regal
ed as a sort of unollicial boom for
fourth term, Democratic Chairman
Frank C. Walker denied seeing any
indications that the President wants
to run again, lie retreated to cover by
pointing out that .this }s no time
discuss candidate for 1!)44, but action,
speak loader than apologies and the
little flurry is easily recognized as
"Trial Balloon."

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). —-Em
phasizing his determination to do
everything in his power to make tin
voluntary system of recruiting workers
for war jobs a success. Chairman Paul
V. McNutt of the War Manpower Com
mission took issue with advocates of
the compulsory methods proposed in
the Austin-Wadswortli bill.

he agreed with Secretary of War Stim
son's championship of the manpower
draft bill. McNutt said:
"I am determined to try the volun
tary method. I intend to do all in my
power, in all sincerity, to make the
volnnlarv method work."
Union-Management
Groups' Role In Organizing
Labor Supply Is Discussed
New York City (ILNS).—The role
of labor-management committees in
the organization of lalmr .-upply for
war production was the chief topic of
discussion at a two-day meeting of 00
I'nited States and Canadian govern
merit representatives, workers and em
ployers held hen? at the invitation of

The meeting was not o[en to the
press, but at its conclusion Carter
Goodrich, cliairman of the Governing
Hotly of the ILO, said the participant

igement cooperation to exjedite pro
duction."

rich said, were alisenteeism, the con
sideration of employees' suggestions
and methods to solve production de
lays.
The meeting was the seventh in a
series Inaugurated by the ILO early

NUTRITION AND LABOR
HEALTH TODAY AND IN THE PAST
There i^ something aboul pi-ople tii it
makes the present, so re il to I hem that
they often forsret the difficulties tif the
past. For example, very few jieople
realize that until aliont years ago
the |Kj»ulation of Knrojie had been al
most. at a standstill for many cen
turies, It might have enjoyed some
period# of prosperity and jieaee during
which i«»pulations showed somewhat
of an increase, but such periods would
be repeatedly interrupted by plagues
and famines and the size tif the popu
lation won III drop again. The popula
tion of France, for example, was i*sti
mated in the l.'ith century to lie around
20 million souls, a.nd it was not more
than that in the 18th century. From
100 to 1714 the population of Eng
land and Wales only increased by 70,
HH». while in a briefer but later period,
from 1801 to 1001. it increased by 23
million in spite of large scale emigra
tion. Between 1800 and 1!KM» the jkijiu
lation of Europe grew from 187 mil
lion to about 400, to reach in 1933 an
estimated r20 million.
Simultaneously with this increase in
imputation, there has taken place an
impressive extension of life. The
human span of life is measured in
terms of exiiectation of life at birth
which is based for .the average lift
period of the population. The exjiec
lation of life at birth for the average
German increased lietween 1870 and
102H from 3T yea rs to 50. The English
man's average length of life in the
same period increased from 41 to
A similar tendency was shown in all
other industrialized countries, which
means in those countries in which
science revolutionized industry, •agri
culture, and the mode of li of the
people.
Since most European countries have
had military conscription for many
centuries, it is possible to compare the
stature of the young people in those
lands. We find that, for instance, in

men increaed from iMO to HO! by
over .three inches. In Norway the in
crease was four inches between 1800
and 1900. In Holland it was fi inche3
I»etween 18o0 and l!t07. Similar trends
are still current in this country among
our young men and young women.
Several things are responsible for
this increase in health asid span of life.
The first is the vast improvement In
economic welfare of the masses due to
the application of scientific knowledge
.to Industry, agriculture, transmuta
tion, to he extension of credit, wide
spread labor organization, and social
legislation. Another contributing fac
tor is the dramatic advancement in
sanitation and medical knowledge,
which meant more numerous and
better hospitals, better trained physi
cians, widespread health centers and
laws to protect that public. And the
public participated actively in this new
trend by lietter care in pregnancy and
childhood, a more optimistic a.ltitndo
.to the sick and the aged.
The first milestone in the spread o
sanitation came with the work
Pasteur, who by the discovery o
germs ojiened up the new field of hy
giene and prevention. The second step
winch gave the population of the world
a new spurt in the direction of w
lieiiiw was due to the discovery ma
in the field of nutritional science.
