“We Are Americans First and Trade Unionists Second” WILLIAM GREEN, PRES. A. F. OF L THE NAZI SLAVE LABOR SOCIETY Increased resistance against the Nazi forced-labor decrees in Occupied Europe has focused attention on one of the biggest manhunts in all history. It is the Nazis’ ruthless search through Europe for more and mow labor for the German war machine. In the process of obtaining this labor the Nazis have created a vast slave society. Millions of workers are laboring for Nazi “masters” in the occupied countries, building fortifications and roads and working in the factories and in the fields. Millions have also been shifted from one end of Europe to another, and other millions of workers have been transplanted to Germany to work under the “blood hierarchy” based on Nazi racial myths. The report issued by the Office of War Information, Foreign Service Division comprising thirteen pages and may be obtained by writing this agency at Washington, D. C. It is a valuable and instructive document, the story of the Nazi slave-labor society. It is issued by the Office of War Information on the basis of material racking the OWI and other Gov ernment agencies. The report tells how the Nazis obtain their slave labor, how they treat the workers, how the workers are tricked, how they ahe zploited, how they resist. This slave-labor society is part of what the Nazis call their “New Order.” United for $4,000,000 War Relief Drive ! J All union* In New York City, AFL.

C. — The Senate Truman Committee in vestigating the war production program praised labor for its “ex cellent job” in the committee’s latest report. “The great labor organiza tions,” the_ committee testified, “have done an excellent job.
