Labor Leaders
By FRED BAILEY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (U. P.)— Government and labor officials to-
day called on the nation’s workers for the utmost co-operation in the rearmament effort and warned that under totalitarianism they would face “hunger, disease and slavery.” Associate OPM Director Sidney Hillman and President William Green of the American Federation of Labor called upon labor for even greater effort in producing arms. President Phillip Murray of the Congress: of E Industrial Organizations promised that his organization would continue its determinéd effort to see that 2 Jabor takes its Mr Fleming rightful place . . . as a responsible participant in the national defense effort.” He called on organized labor to defeat new legislative proposals to curb its rights and warned of “new false hysteria” against union activities. Wage-Hour Administrator Philip B. Fleming hailed operation of the Wage-Hour Law. He said his division had brought $13,000,000 to more than 450,000 workers who were being paid less than the minimum wagé and obtained increases in hourly wage scales of 850,000 other workers.
Mr. ‘Hillman, in his Labor Day statement, said that “our free working. men and women are in mind and heart devoted to the defense of America” and “will continue to oppose any: compromise with Hitlerism’s new order.” “They will support no appeasers, they will shelter no quislings,” he said. “We of American labor have learned an unforgettable lesson from the tragic plight of labor in
Dy one the labor movements of 15 European nations have been blotted out under the swastika.”
Mr. Green's statement warned that if the United States is to avoid the “war, hunger, disease and slavery” now facing Europe, “we must first decide that we -are for democracy and that democracy is for us.” “We miist reject totalitarianism in any and all its forms as’ we Soya reject a deadly poison,” he sa He praised’the A. . of L's co-

operation with the defense program, but added: ” “Proud as I am of the recopd of the men and, women of the A. F. of L., I feel it necessary to call upon them to redouble their efforts during the coming months. A crisis is at hand. New threats to our national safety are looming and our country may eventually; be forced into war to defend our way of life.” Mr. Murray praised the progress made by organized labor in its dealings with employers, noting that

organized labor in these troubled
: [times ‘was not easy.
“In a period of war production the real wages of American workers will be beset on all sides,” he said. “They will be threatened by rising costs of living, by wage taxation and by all kinds of schemes for forced savings. “They will be placed in jeopardy by our nation’s failure yet to make use of its great productive facilities and of its vast manpower. But the C. I. O. is well aware of these dangers and it will steadfastly meet them.”
UNALASKA SOLDIERS
a
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (U. P.) — Troops newly stationed at Unalaska, America’s outpost nearest Asia, are turning to prospecting, mountain climbing and grave digging when they are on leave. Field investigators of the Federal Securty Agency report that soldiers are being taught how to pan and prospect for gold by old timers and professors of the University of Alaska who offer special courses to service men. Some of the men are taking time off to climb Ballyhoo—a mountain. .Others found an old Indian burying ground and assembled two skeletons to hang in the barracks.
GAYDA CHANGES MIND
ROME, Sept. 1 (U. P.).—Britain would have been beaten long ago if it had not been for American aid, Virginio Gayda, Fascist editor, wrote in the newspaper Giornale d'Italia today in commenting on the start of the third year of the war. (In previous editorials Gayda has scoffed at American aid to Britain and has said it would be “too little and too late.”)
