"Then gently scan
your brother mail"—-
By Mr. Modestus-
Now, Pestbrooke—
Better watch your gear-shift—
It might be all right to be running
in high—
When you jump on these aluminum
and copper bottle-necks—
(In which we have not seen you do
ing any record stuff)—
Or when you turn loose on Nazi con
trol of our magnesium manufacture—
(Of course you know about that:
why so reticent?)—
But when you can't see the differ
ence between Hitlerism—
And a few little crooked parasites
in labor unions—
Why, you're almost as oblique
visioned (cross-eyed, to you)—
As our little aviation mechanic,
Charley.
You don't really mean it—
When you say it is Hitlerian
cyoj-ciarci—

To call the Wagner Act and Wage
Hour Act "labor gains"—
Better change your brand of cig
arettes, or whatever—
Grant that on the body of over 10
million organized workers—
There are a few sores and pimples,
which look very bad—
But when you compare these things
bad as they may be—
To the looting of labor union treas
uries by Nazi agents—
To the shooting in concentration
camps—
Of thousands of German labor lead
ers, to liquidate leadership—
To suppression of entire labor press
and association by Hitler—
Your brain is surely getting out of
focus—
You don't see straight and you cant
think straight—
And so, you are talking crooked,
too.
You speak of these "millions"—
Of American workers in labor
unions—
Being "persecuted and exploited" by
gangsters—
Well, it is a fact that there are about
10 millions—
Organized workers in the various
labor unions—•
Including railway workers, and
other independents—
Your language would seem to in
clude them all in the scope—
Of gangster dominated and racked
teering bunches—
mm
Wouldn't you like to tell that to
Whitney, or Harrison—
Who are also representatives of
some of these men?
Suppose you take your libels to Du
binsky—
Mention the matter personally, to
Sidney Hillman—
Take it up with the Typographical
folks or the Machinists—
See how long your slippery insinua
tions will stick—

It shows that presbyopia is upon

N. B. Commission Raises
Lumber Workers' Pay
Fredericton, N. B. (ILNS). The
Forest Operations Commission of New
Brunswick has increased the wage
scale for lumber workers within the
province to $52 per month average,
with meals and sleeping accommoda
tions, and $47 minimum, with board.
The increase in both instances involves
a $2 raise over the rate of 1940.
This marks the second consecutive
year in which the rates for the lumber
workers have been increased by the
commission, and due to the cost of liv
ing boost. Before the war the rates
had been down as low as $32.
SMITH ENDS 6-YEAR TERM

A.F.L. SUPPORT
IN WAGE DRIVE
St. Louis, Mo: (ILNS).-—Addressing
the twenty-second convention of the
National Federation of Post Office
Clerks here, President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
pledged the full support of the fe lera
tion to the movement for increased
pay for civil service employes.
Green explained economic changes
which are taking place owing to war
time conditions and said that civil
service employes, as well as those in
private industry, are entitled to wage
increases to meet the rising cost of
living.
"While all this has been going o%"
he continued, "I have been thinking
about the civil service employes. These
increases in prices and cost of living
affect civil service employes just the
same as those in private industry.
They have to buy and live as the others
live. After thinking it all over I have
arrived at the definite conclusion that
..the time has arrived—in fact it passed
sometime ago—when this great hu
mane government of ours must give
to the civil service employes an in
crease in income comparative at least
to that received by those in private
industry.
"The A. F. of L. will not only lead
but it will stand with the represent
atives of civil service employes and
your splendid organization in going to
Congress and to the nation, not only
asking but demanding that civil serv
ice employes receive an increase in
pay. I will place behind that move
ment the full economic and political
strength of the five million members
of the American Federation of Labor."
William I. Horner, legislative rep
resentative of the post office clerks,
reported to the convention that it was
the unanimous opinion of the executive
board that a general salary increase
be made the paramount issue, provid
ing salary grades for post office clerks
from $2,600 to $3,000.
Approximately 3,000 visitors and
delegates to the conventions of the
clerks' federation and its national
women's auxiliary were present, break
ing all previous attendance records.
LABOR TOO BUSY TO PARADE
Oklahoma City (ILNS).—The local
Labor Day parade was called off, as
workers were too busy to take part.
"So many are tied up with national
defense jobs we decided to forego any
celebration," a union spokesman said.
