London. Britain's Trade Unions
with women amongst their members,
hold a Conference every year, attended
mainly by women delegates, to dis
cuss questions of particular concern to
women workers. The Conference this
year reflects the growing Iiuiortance
of Trade Union organization amongst
women.
When the war began there were no
more than 600,000 women in the
Unions affiliated to the British T.U.C.
their numbers were doubled in two
years of war now, although official
figures are not yet available, the total
of organized women is certainly Hear
ing 2,000,000. One Union alone, the
Amalgamated Engineering Union,
which decided to admit women to mem
bership as from the lieginning of the
present year, has already enrolled over
45,000 women workers in the engineer
ing trades, and they are flocking into
that Union now at .the rate of many
thousands a month.
Resolutions on the Agenda of this
year's conference of Trade Union
women Include one expressing satisfac
tion with the increased membership of
women in the Unions. This resolution
"places on record appreciation of the
work carried out by the thousands of
women shop stewards vIk have ac
cepted the responsibilities which arise
nit of the day to day problems of in
dustrial democracy in the workshops."
The resolution further calls upon tin
managements of establishments en
gaged on work of national importance
to recognize the part that the Tradt
Union Movement is playing in smooth
ing out day to day problems in tin
interests of production and empha
sizing also the importance of Union
officials having facilities of approach
to their shop stewards and responsibh
members in the workshops. The Union
responsible for this resolution point
out that many women are today doing
two jobs, in the factory and at home
and have time left for meetings out
side working hours.
Answering Shopping Problems
Another aspect of the problem of
women's work in war time is raised by
a report which comes before this Con
ference. It arose out of an inquiry in
stigated by last year's conference int«
the facilities for shopping made avail
aitle for women workers with domestic
responsibilities whose hours of work
prevent shopping at the usual time.
With the help of the local Trades
Councils and the Trade Unions this
inquiry yielded data showing that a
large number of employers allowed
time off for shopping, either early in
the morning, or by extension of lunch
times retailers moreover provide

hopping facilities it th«»se tim«*s of the

goods in short wi|»ply. In some fac
tories women worl »rs place their or
ders for household goods In a l»ox pro
vided for them at the retail shop, and
ollect their supplies on a convenient
day. And in man. factories arrange
ments are made i"i- parcels to be left
and then taken home when work is

Shop and factory working hours are

amongst women dnin« their shopping,
ind in some factories priority cards
aire issued to tln-ir workers which,
with the co-oieration of retailers en
able them .to do tlieir shopping with
a minimum of difficulty. A pleasing
feature of the report is, indeed, th»
cooperation in th- wartime spirit of
mutual helpfulne.-* between factory
managements, retail traders, 'hamlers
of Commerce, officers of the Food Con
trol, and the welfare officers of the
Ministry of Labor. A very real diffi
culty lias been overcome by such e
operation.
Post-War Relief Proposals
The Agenda of the Labor Party's
Annual Conference will shortly be cir
culated to the Trade Unions and local
Party organizations who will instruct
their delegates to ihe assembly which
opens in London at Whitsuntide. In
terest attaches to a series of special
resolutions to be submitted to the Con
ference by the National Executive of
the Party. One of these Resolutions
calls for the setting up, as soon as con
ditions permit, of a State Medical
Service, nationally planned, regionally
administered and paid for out of pub
lie funds.
A significant resolution from the Na
tonal Executive deals with the problem
of post-war relief in Europe. It recog
nizes .the tragic urgency of the needs
of the occupied lands, and recalls
Government declarations that arrang
ments will be made in advance for the
speedy entry of food and other sup
plies .necessary for rehabilitation into
any part of the '"enslaved area" when
this part has been wholly cleared of
German forces, and has genuinely re
gained its freedom. Reference is made
to the fact .that a substantial amount
of food has gone into North Africa in
the wake of the liberating armies
Note is also taken of the fact that
preparatory work has been done to as
certain the prime need of the Occupied
Countries, and to store food supplies in
readiness for the coming opportunity
to provide relief.
But the significant part of this reso
lution directs the attention of the Con
ference to the v*Uolesale und brutal
pillage of occupied lands" carried out
by the Germans, and to Goering's re
cent statement that Germans will be
fed even if all the peoples of those
lands have to starve. Recognizing that
in consequence "Germany's needs will
probably be much less acute in most
respects than those of her victims" ,th(
conference is asked by its Nationa
Executive to declare that in the distri
but ion of food to meet urgent needs
where supplies are short "the peoph
of the occupied and plundered lands
should have first claimbut that
secondly, in accordance with Govern
ment pledges, "in the interests of early
victory and of future peace, and in
loyalty to the standards of civilization
and humanity which the United Na
tions are defending against Nazi and
Fasci.M barbarism," supplies should be
made available for the relief of enemy
peoples, if necessary, as well as of the
peoples of the occupied lands and that
efforts should he made to get neutra
Governments to take their part in the
organization and provision of relief.
On purely political questions of do
mestic importance the question of tin
'"electoral truce" between the parties
under which by-elections are not con
tested by official Party candidates,
takes precedence on the Conference
Agenda. It will clearly provide one of
the outstanding debates of the Con
ference.
A number of resolutions appear in
support of the Beverldge Report. There
are, too, a series of resolutions ex
pressing profound indignation with tin
Nazi campaign of extermination of the
Jews and calling for practical action
by the United Nations. A number of
reports prepared by sub committees of
the Party's National Executive on vari
ous aspects of post-war reconstruction
will come before the Conference.
Reconstruction questions are also
brought into the forefront by resolu
tions on the Agenda, dealing particu
larly with questions of industrial re
habilitation, housing and town plan
ning, coordination of transport as
public service and reorganization of
the system of local government. The
Party's post-war itollcy for the African
and Pacific ('(denies is also formulated
in a comprehensive report filling 24
pages of print.

We, Too, Are
Americans
By RUTH TAYLOR
The greatest danger which threatens
our nation today, .the direct, threat to
our lll*eities, lies not in the far flung
battle line, not in the jungles of is
lands far to the south, not on the snow
clad slopes of northern gateways, not
on the sandy wastes of the desert, not
on the sea lanes of all the oceans—
but here in our cities, our towns, our
villages, here in our homes themselves
It is the constant danger of divisive
ness among our own people.
Since the first settlers crossed the
seas to seek freedom on our shores
this has been the threat that has
dogged our pathway as a nation. It
was the weaion of every would-be con
queror covetous of our fertile lands
and valiant people. It was the force
that drove many of our people from
their home across the seas. It was to
withstand that force that they banded
together to make a nation. And it was
to conquer that force that they fought
a civil war to make all the |eople
within our borders free men. We are
no hyphenated people nor a pyramid
of class strata. We are a United Na
tion, We, too, are Americans.
Once more another tyrant seeks to
use against us the weapons of divisive
ness. Now Holer's agents, both pro
fessional and amateur, are till seeking
day in and day out to- disrupt our
unity, to divide our people. They are
fanning tempers, starting rumors, feed
ing resentments, separating our jieople
into groups who hammer constantly at
each other for their "rights," trying to
legislate brotherhood and to enforce
friendship.
But we, who have struggled to free
dom, will not fall into the trap. We.
too, are Americans no matter what ou
background. Whether we fled from
Europe to escape slavery, or from
Africa Into new bondage, whether we
be Nordic, Latins or Negroes, whether
we worship our (lod as Protestants
Catholics or Jews, whether we be rich
or pK»r, employer or worker:—we, too
are today Americans, living under a
greater measure of freedom than any
where else on earth, and possessed of

Landis Appeals To Men And
Women To Offer Services
For Fire-Fighting Force
UNIONISTS SOUGHT FOR PERILOUS JOB
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—An urgent appeal to "the men
and women of organized labor to offer their skills, their time and
their courage for a dangerous new job—the fire Guards," has
been made by James M. Landis, director of Civilian Defense, in
announcing plans for a fire-fighting force of 1,500,000 volunteers.
"Workers and their families living in war production centers
enow that when enemy fire bombs fall, theirs will be a double re
sponsibility," he said. "They must protect themselves and their
neighbors against fire, and they must help put out plant fires so
that production losses can be kept down. That means many thou­
sands of working men and women will*"
be needed for the fire guards to man
pump-tank extinguishers which have
been distributed in all target-area
cities in the country."
Fire Major Air Weapon
The initial goal of l.riOO.OOO guards
will provide a half-million trained
tire-fighting squads, Landis said, a
force "necessary to meet the Lncreas
fire hazard to homes, lives and
plants resulting from new bombing
tactics of the enemy.
'Fire and fire bombs are the major
weaj»ons of air attacks," he {minted
out. "They have accounted for more
than 80 |»er cent of total damage and
the enemy is using every device to in
crease the deadly effectiveness of these
wea{M»ns. Even in raids employing thi
heaviest explosive Inimhs, thousands
of incendiaries are used to complete
and make certain the chaos of destruc
tion which have been started by the
high explosives."
The (M'p director said that with the
introduction of more dangerous incen
diaries carrying much heavier explo
sive charges, and the use of heavier
loads of fire bombs and more concen
trated attacks, there is a compelling
need for larger fire-fighting forces,
greater skill and more equipment to
deal with fires.
Intensive Training
In his call for volunteers from the
labor unions, Landis emphasized that
women will le recruited as regular
meml»ers of fire guard squads and will
work on exactly the same basis as
men. Members will receive 16 hours of
intensive training and will be drilled
in .the use and care of small fire-fight
Ing equipment.
