WPB NEEDS TOOLS IDLE IN NYA SHOPS
$10,000,000 Worth Kent From War Production: Youth Agency With Free Food Setup Duplicates

TOBIN DEFENDS
Labor Only Asks Little More Pay for Overtime, He Says in Radio Talk.
CHICAGO, March 24 (U. P.).— Warning that disruption of the American labor movement would create a chaos similar to that which preceded the fall of France, Daniel J. Tobin, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (A. PF. of L.), declared last night that passage of legislation abolishing the 40-hour week and overtime “is the surest way to destroy the efficiency the workers are giving the nation.” “If I didn't know of the sincere patriotism of the men in congress who are attacking labor, I would believe they were endeavoring to sabotage our country by creating discontent and disunity between labor and capital.” The labor leader charged in a radio address that the 40-hour week issue was a gross deception and willful misrepresentation to the American people.
" Willing to Work Longer
worthy patron, |
“There isn't a working man in the country who hasn't the privilege | of working far in excess of 40 hours a week,” Mr. Tobin said. “All they | ask is that they be paid a little more | for the extra hours after they have | | finished their 40 hours of speed- “up | employment. | “That's the real issue. “We are willing to work around the clock with three shifts, if nec- | essary, but management does not! desire that system for some unexplained reason.”
Fewer Strikes Cited
Mr. Tobin charged that the enemies of labor behind the attack on benefits won over the years of hard struggle were either “antagonists of President Roosevelt who are endeavoring to strike at him by attacking his friends—labor, or those persons prompted by fear that labor may attain a powerful and influential position in post-war political affairs. “Labor has solemnly pledged itself that during the war they would give up only their only économic weapon—the right to stop work collectively. Today, we have fewer strikes than ever before in the history of our country.”
