LEWIS ORATES At the end, when they finally got tgether, the employers and labor- dtes parted cordially, shaking hands _and exchanging friendly holiday greetings. But during the long stale~ mate they pulled no punches in their exchanges. They talked frank 'got no time for frills and society.” \ Iy and bluntly Charles R. Hook, President of Am- | erican Rolling Mills, was the chief employer spokesman. Mathew Woll, AFL Vice-President, and George Meany, ambitious AFL Secretary, did mest of the talking for their group. John L. Lewis carried the pall for CIO. He did it in his usual sonorous, melodeamatic manner, On one oc- Atter | Hhm get a chnnoe to strlke casion he waded into the industrial- | ists as follows: “Mr. Moderator. When the in- dustries of this country come out of this war, they will have built for themselves, at the expense of the American people ,the most gigantic plants, perfect in every mechanical excellence, that ever before existed in any nation in the world. The government is going to build all this for them and they will make vast profits at the expense of Am- {erican workers who are being re- iquired to do without automobiles and without luxuries. “At the same time, Mr. Moderator, labor is being asked to accept a pro- ! posal whereby industry will come out | with fat surpluses while labor or- ganizations will be debilitated or entirely eliminated. come out of the war with hodies broken, spirits crushed, and their unions dispersed anhd futile.” Demurring at these accusations, Hook recalled that he once had worked for 13 cents an hour.

One day he was standing on a hill beside a German officer, watching Scotch and French infantry. It was carnage at its worst, for the defend- ing force had no plans and no tanks. Suddenly, a remarkable thing hap- pened. As a powerful force of Nazi itanks swept forward, several hun- dred Scotch soldiers dashed out into the open to meet them head-on. All |but about 25 were killed as they | tried to destroy the tanks with hand grenades. “Stupid fools—your friends,” German officer snickered. “No they are not stupid,” said the ambulance driver. “They undouht- edly were told to stand their ground and they had nothing else to fight your tanks with.

(Copyright, 1942) ———————— Distribution 0f Dividends Being Made CHICAGO, Jan. 1.—Distribution of dividends for the last half of 1941, totalling an estimated $81,- 600,000, will be completed by the nation’s savings, building and loan associations today, according to Fermor S. Cannon, Indianapolis, president of the United States Sav- ings and Loan League. He pointed out that approximately 7,000,000 persons will share in the distribu- tion of earnings from the most ac- tive home lending period the as- sociations have had in twelve years, Checks will be sent to all hold- ers of income share accounts in the thrift and home finaneing in- stitutions, accompanied in hun- dreds of cases by the suggestion that the earnings be directed to- ward helping win the war by in- vesting in Defense Savings Bonds or Stamps. Mr. Cannon said that dividends were paid by approximately 7,500 savings, building and loan associa- tions in every state, in the Terri- tory of Alaska, and so far as he can gather, in Hawaii, as usual. ..

Cards to identify workmen or others authorized to enter these zones on business will be issued here by either the port captain of the Coast Guard or by the Alaska Steamship Company office, as soon as the provision is put into effect. How soon the “prohibited zones” here will be set up is not known. Similar provisions for guarding important areas will also be made in all Alaska communities. Areas to be included in “prohib- ited zones” will be as follows: 1. Shipbuilding or ship repair plants. 2. Wharves, piers or waterfront terminals, including warehouses. 3. Seaplane ramps and hangars. 4. Oil docks and adjacent stor- age tanks with connecting prop- erty. 5. Powder magazines. age warehouses. 7. Cold storage plants. 8. Canneries and packing plants. The order setting up these zones states that there shall be “no trespass, visit, occupation, nor per- sonal presence whatsoever unless | persons employed thereon, visiting, | or entering shall exhibit satisfac- tory proof of identification which must be presented to owner, mana- tives or military authority.” 6.

Bradford Washburn, head of the New England Miseum of Natural l{htory said in an interview he thought it possible for bombers to direct course between the nearest land. points enroute. % The Alaska-Russia rolife he vis- ioned as approximately 1,000 miles shorter than flights from Hawaii to Tokyo. Weather conditions in the North Pacific are not insur- mountable, he asserted, adding that the bombing of Jap cities by Al- aska-based planes is even more practical than ferrying bombers to. England or shipping them across the Pacific to Russia for the ulti- mate purpose of hlasting Japan.
