PRIZE WINNING SLOGANS HELP U. S. WORKMEN SPEED UP PRODUCTION The zest with which American workmen have tackled the job of out producing the Axis is illustrated by the slogans they write to speed the job along. War Production Drive Headquart ers encourages labor-management committees in war plants to conduct slogan contests. Prize winning slogans are usually forwarded to War Pro duction Drive Headquarters. They are selected as the best by committees of plant workers and not by any Gov ernment agency. A number of recent prize winners were released July 26. Most of the slogans stress the im portance of speed, the danger of absenteeism, the perils of inefficiency, and the need of working hard, buy ing bonds, and keeping a silent tongue. The following slogans are not neces sarily the best; indeed, it would be dif ficult to select the best of the slogans sent in by 1,000 plants, some of which have sent is more than 1,000 slogans. Bat these that follow at .least show the feeling of the American workmen as determined by war plant Labor Management Production Drive Com mittees. “He Who Naps Helps the Japs."— Westinghoase Electric and Mfg.

With so many of our men in the Armed Forces and with grave short ages of vital war materials it’s a prob lem to keep every department of our service at its best. You can help insure better service when you really need it by calling on our service men only when it is abso lutely necessary. Why not learn how to replace fuses yourself?

STANDS WITH AND FOR THE FLAG LABOR BUYS ANOTHER BOMBER Fifteen-thousand persons crowded the Duluth, Minnesota, All-Sports Stadium last week to attend the labor-sponsored Buy-A-Bomber Rally. “This is labor’s world,” declared Eugene Casey, executive assistant to Pres. Roosevelt, in bringing a message from the White House. “Labor is fighting for the right to sit at the peace table and participate in the writing of a just, equitable and charitable peace, one that will secure forever the ideals of liberty, freedom and democracy for people of every creed, race and color. “Hundreds of workers like some of you,” he asserted, “are facing hardship in the midst of plenty because the conversion of thier industry from civilian to military production has caused some temporary unemployment. The Government is now unaware of your efforts. “Unfortunately I cannot offer any illusions of an early or easy victory. The Axis forces have been setting a stiff pace this summer and it will need every ounce of the combined energy of the United States to beat them. “That means that you and I will have to do more than we thought we could. We will not have to work harder at our jobs only, but we will have to conserve our possessions.” Against the background of Duluth’s iron ore docks Col. Robert Gins burgh, representing Under Secretary of War Patterson, accepted labor’s gift of the bomber money saving: “This gift represents more than a bomber with which to destroy the Axis. It is a symbo lof labor’s interest in our armed forces. And we in the Army are vitally interested in you.” Andrew J-. Biemiller, chief of the labor morale section, Labor Produc tion Division,'WPB, declared: “Labor’s function in this great and patriotic job has been constructive and cooperative. It has contributed many thousands of useful ideas to war production through joint labor-management committees. “Workers’ blood is being shed to make the four freedoms a reality, to banish tyranny forever from the face of the globe. Labor should certainly have a seat at the peace table to make certain these sacrifices shall not have been in vain. Another speaker was the well-known writer, Margaret Caulkin Ban ning, a native of Duluth. Recently from England, she said: “The bomber which we are about to buy in a symbol, not of vengeance, but of strength. Wherever it goes, it is on the joint errand of civilized men and women to drive off the bandits who are trying to hold up the world.

FRANK GRAHAM TELLS NATION BUTTRESS OF DEMOCRACY IN U. S. IS SECURITY OF ORGANIZED LABOR Public Member of War Labor Board Is Emphatic In Anti-Fascist Address After Little Steel Decision Union security strengthens industrial democracy; industrial democracy gives added power to American democracy and aids in the critical attack on humanity being waged by the fascist ^xis. That was the theme of the opinion of Dr. Frank Graham, president of the University of North Carolina and public member of the War Labor Board, backing up the Board’s decision for maintenance of membership and the check-off of union dues in Little Steel. Citing the heroism of the British, Russian and Chinese peoples on the battle-lines of the world fight for freedom, Graham said: “One of the youngest of these free institutions would, by this decision (of the WLB) be made more secure for the all-out effort to win the war. By provision for the freedom and security of this union, the empire of steel becomes potentially the common-wealth of steel. “The commonwealth of steel becomes even more a basic resource of the American Commonwealth in the produdction of ships, planes, tanks and guns for the mighty forward fronts of democracy which will beat back j the Axis powers and make possible at least the advance of freedom and the organization of justice and peace in the world.” Graham's opinion suggested that the maintenance of a “stable union membership union leadership and responsible union discipline, makes for keeping faithfully the terms of the contract, and provides a stable basis for efficient production. LISTEN TO RADIO AUGUST 8TH WASHINGTON, D. C.—The letter carrier is perhaps the most popular public servant on the Government payroll and he gets the worst rooking! That is to be the theme of the next “Labor For Victory” broadcast Aug. 8 from 10:15 to 10:30 p.m. over a nation-wide NBC network. The story pf what the letter carriers are doing to aid the nation’s war effort will be dramatized on this program and President Doherty of the National Letter Carriers Associa- * tion will then make a brief talk. Be sure to listen in! Charlotte Typographical Unions Meets in Monthly Session W. M. Bostick, of the Charlotte News Chapel, made the report for the apprentice committee at the regular monthly meeting of Charlotte Typographical Union No. 338 Sunday afternoon, and made several recom mendations lookin gto the improvement of the work of the committee which were adopted by the local, and two apprentice members were unani mously elected an dobligated as members, these being Robert Harvey Cadieu and Norman Odell Ross, both of The Observer Chapel. The union -also -passed—a—new ruling regulating the cancellation of accumulated overtime in the various offices, this change being deemed necessary to harmonize with the international law recently passed by a referendum vote of a maj'ority of the local unions throughout the United States and Canada. Hereafter overtime will be cancelled at the expiration of 60 days. The sick committee reported that Neil W. Hasty, of the Observer Chapel, had suffered a nervous breakdown and was taking a rest at a local sani tarium in the outskirts of the city. He is not able to have visitors at present. Mr. Hasty is a World War veteran and is one of the most popular members of the prniting fraternity of Charlotte. His comrades are much concerned about him as his health has not been of the best lately. It was reported from the Charlotte News that Conley Cook had resigned as chairman of that Chapel after serving one month, and that J. W. Heim, vice-chairman, had been elevated to the chairmanship, and H. H. Richards was elected to serve out the unexpired term as vice-chairman. Due to the extremely hot weather the attendance was not as large as on some former occasions, but a fair size crowd turned out and the meeting was a harmonious one. President C. J. Pridgen presided and Secretaries O. N. Burgess and Howard L. Beatty were in their respective places. A few members were present who had not attended a meeting for the past year. —C. R. AUSTIN.
