up trip to the coast.
"I couldn’t find any signs of com-
placency or shirking on the job in
any of those plants,” said Krug, add-
ing that he had gone through as many
of them as he could. •
At his press confeernce, Krug re-
vealed plans for stepping up produc-
tion of aircraft in 1945 by about 2.600
planes. Without disclosing details,
he indicated that the big increase
would come in Army and Navy fight-
ers since the Navy, for example, had
found it could carry more planes on
a carrier by using fighters for dive
bombing.
The Increased aircraft program
would require more labor, he said.
Krug told reporters that the Ger-
man counteroffensive in Europe could
not help but be felt here in need to
replace items of equipment lost or de-
stroyed, though obviously the effect
was not immediate since the supplies
used in fighting the counteroffensive
were those already on hand.

He disclosed that new factories,
costing approximately $200,000,000
would have to be built in 1945 to sup-
ply the Army with trench mortars.
These factories would not be able to
operate before August, 1945.
Mr. Krug said that he received a
message from General Eisenhower
asking for 6,000,000 yards of blank-
eting material. Jackets which, he
said, could be expected normally to
last a soldier five months, were now
lasting two and a half, and under-
wear which would be expected to last
six months, was lasting two.

“I think it is without doubt the con-
census of all of our military and civ-
ilian leaders now that we are in for
a long, bitter, bloody, and costly
struggle to defeat Germany. The
Nazis do not surrender, but are fight-
ing village by village and foot fey
foot, in an effort to make our victory
as costly in American lives and mate-
rial as possible.
“Our military commanders have
learned by experience that American
productive’facilities and American
free labor can produce guns, ammu-
ntion, and supplies in such enormous
quantities that we can afford to ex-
pend these mcnitions liberally because
by expending material, we can con-
serve the lives of American fighting
men. Our enemies, with little or no
regard for human life, and short as
they are on materials of war, are need-
lessly wasting the lives of their men
and saving their material.
“To meet this situation and to save
the lives of American fighting men
we must meet enormously stepped up
schedules of production for such
things as guns, ammunition, radar
equipment, certain types of ships,
heavy trucks, tires, truck repair parts,
cotton material for tenting, winter
clothing, and other military items.
“These new schedules call for more
than 300,000 additional workers all
over the nation in war jobs, in addi-
tion to the present labor force.
“Knowing as I do, that the people
of Texas, when they understand the
facts, have not failed and will not fail
to meet any necessary requirements
of our national Government to prose-
cute the war to final victory over our
enemies, I am issuing a public appeal
to Texans to help meet this situation
by doing the following specific things:
‘1. If you are not now engaged in
a war job, go to your nearest United
States Employment Service office of
the War Manpower Commission and
ask to be referred to a war job. either
in your own local community or else-
where in the State or nation, where
your services are needed.
"2. If you are now employed in
war work, do not quit your war job
under any circumstances, but stay
with it until the war job is completed,
and the victory is won. Do not be an
‘absentee’ but take your place at your
job every working day that your ab-
sence is not absolutely unavoidable,
just as your fellow Texans in the
fighting forces are giving full-time
every day, and often 24 hours a day, to
the fighting, at the front.
“3. Observe strictly and to the let-
ter the voluntary manpower controls
expanded by 3,000,000 tons in 1945.
He warned that the German winter
offensive would destroy large quanti-
ties of equipment, resulting in a de-
mand for a rise in production. Not
only would United States Armies lose
what the Germans destroyed, but huge
quantities of ammunition and ma- 1
terials were being used in checking
the German thrust.
In summing up the country’s output
of war supplies for the last three
years, Mr. Krug disclosed that month-
ly production had increased from
$500,000,000 to $5,500,000,000. In the
last two months supplies have been
going directly from the production
line to the battlefront—a straight
pipeline from this country to Europe.

limitation of equipment and pointing I

sulting in rush orders for trench mor-
tars, small arms and heavy artillery.

Fad Sheet Regarding Manpower
* Sitnation
Regardfss of the feeling which pre-
vailed throughout the United States
during August and September, whei
the European invasion was going
well, it is now definitely the feeling
of every high military and goveri -
mental personage that the war,.both
in Europe and in the Pacific, will be
a long, slow, bloody ordeal, which may
go on for many, many months.
As one high military authority re-
cently put it, in a confidential discus-
sion with War Manpower Commission
officials:
“We have come to real'ze that our
enemies, neither the Nazis nor tie
Japanese, will give up until we have
a gun pointed at their heads. In the
case of a Japanese we have to, pull the
trigger. In Europe, when we slog

Military authorities point out that t! e
losses of an attacking army seldom
are less than those of the defending
army. The conclusion/as to America n
casualties in the European theater Is

The people of the Southwest ha e
ore demonstrated time and again, by e i-
the| listments in the armed forces, by their
unstinted support of the War Loin
i drives, by their acceptance of jobs -

, they thoroughly understand a situh-
’ tion, they may be counted on 100 p r

' this region the truth about the ma l-
Chas. F. Weiland Comp
DIRECTORS of FUNERAL SERVICE
In the Co-Operative and I recommend
that they be so admitted. They are
the Street Car Men’s Union No. 1338.
and the Dallas Typographical Union
No. 1173. The Street Car Men’s Union
was organized over a year ago and is
one of the strongest in the city. They
are tenants of the building, affiliated
with the Dallas Central Labor Coun-
cil and the Texas State Federation of
Labor. The other, my union, the Dal-
las Typographical Union No. 173, has
been a tenant of this building since
March 26, 1939. In fact they moved
back into this building one month
after I took over as manager-treas-
ure?' in February, 1939. They have
been, until recently ineligible for
membership, because they were not
affiliated with the American Federa-
tion of Labor. As most of you know,
they are again a part of the A. F. of
L., and as they have been excellent
tenants and supporters of this build-
ing, I recommend they be granted
membership.
Just for the records, I want to
again point out the following:
From time to time, we have heard
reports that some members of the la-
bor unions are under the impression
that the original directors of the
building, namely Wallace C. Reilly,
T. D. Easley, Thomas R. Jones, R. B.
James and C. H. Culpepper are the
owners wf this building. Nothing
could be farther from the truth and
wrere such half-baked, erroneous im-
pressions spring from is beyond our
understanding. Some time, we be-
lieve they are circulated pust for the
purpose of causing discord among
those honestly trying to do a job for
you.
In this connection, may I point out
Section 2, of Article II, on page 3,
of our by-laws and constitution. It
is. as follows: “The Board of Direc-
tors shall consist of one director from
each of the member unions unless
and until determined otherwise by the
menerbers of the Co-Operative from
time to time. The directors named in
the charter shall be the directors until
a full list of directors is elected at a
regular meeting f the Co-Operative.”
Etc , etc.
It can be readily seen, from a read-
ing of this section of the by-laws that
the owners of this building are the
uniBns in good standing with the Co-
Operative, or those named in the up-
per part of this report.
This building belongs to no one
person or set of individuals. It be-
longs to the tenants of the building
who are members in good standing
of the American Federation of Labor
member unions that an organization
must be a member in good standing
with the American Federation of La-
bor and a tenant of the building to be
eligible for membership in the Co-
Operative and that before they are ad-
mit ed to membership, they must first
be Voted upon by the existing direc-
tors of the Co-Operative.
There are two unions in my opin-
and their names, as I have stated, are
included in this report.
Again, may I express my sincere ap-
preciation to President R. B. James,
Vice President Maurice Laughlin, Sec-
retary A. O. Meade, and members of
the executive board C. H. Culpepper,
Bob Rogers, W. T. E. Kerr and T. D.
Easley for their splendid co-operation
during the past year.
In connection with the financial
statement, may I respectfully suggest
we pay off the remainder of the mort-
gage to the Southland Life Insurance
Company, in the amount of $10,751.46.
As can be seen, when the financial
report is read, we have current cash
assets of $10,911.49. We have on de-
posit with the Southland Life Insur-
ance Company in reserve $482.61.
This amounts to $11,394.10. As we
have already paid our January note
to the Southland Life Insurance Com-
pany in the sum of $390.81 on the
principal, this reduced the principal
from $10,751.46 to $10,360.65. This
will leave an overall balance as of
December 31, 1944, if you concur in
my recommendation of $360.65.
Naturally, we have accumulated some
money in January, 1946, and we will
have about $700.00 to start with. This
is sufficient.
Just think! This will be one of the
few Labor Temples in the country
that belongs to organized labor. It
will be ours. Let us protect it. It
is a happy moment in my life that I
have had a part in doing this Job for
you. Remember, we were given 21
years to pay off the $65,000.00 mort-
gage. It has been done in five and
one-half years.
It has ever been my purpose to give
you a sound business-like administra-
tion, so that our affairs &ould prosper.
After listening to my report, I leave
it to your good Judgment and opinions
whether or not I have succeeded. It
is not so far back to 1939, to remem-
ber what has been done in the short
period at five and one-half years.
It has ever been a real pleasure to
have served you and worked in the
interests of the union people of Dal-
las. I have always attempted to be
of the utmost service. I have given
freely of my talents and time.
May I again take this occasion of
thanking you for the privilege of serv-
ing you and our interests and if I am
re-elected to my present post, I will
go forward to build a bigger and bet-
ter Labor Temple.
Respectfully submitted,
WALLACE C. REILLY,
Mgr.-Treas.
After the regular order of business
had been transacted—reading of the
minutes; a discussion of a letter from
the Painters’ Union, regarding the
barring of service men in the Club—
in which the action of Manager Reilly
was unanimously sustained—the elec-
tion of officers followed, with the fol-
lowing results:
R. B. James, president; Johnny Mc-
Ginnis, vice president; A. O. Meade,
secretary; members of the executive
board, C. H. Culpepper, chairman of
the board, W. T. E. Kerr, secretary,
I.. E. Dilley, Maurice Laughlin and
Wallace C. Reilly.
Several of the delegates talked and
commented on the fine report of Man-
ager Reilly and the entire executive
board was given a rising vote of
thanks for their fine efforts.
At a meeting of the executive board,
held after the regular meeting, C. H.
Culpepper was re-elected chairman of
the board. W. T. E Kerr, secretary.
The board was unanimous in their se-
lection of Wallace C. Reilly for the
post of manager-treasurer for another
year. He was given a vote •f confi-
dence and an increase in his weekly
stipend—which was much appreciat-
ed. The board adjourned, subject to
call.

There is desperate need for uni-

prolonged and American casualties un-

In order to be certain that he or

the return of our men from the war,
every worker and every employer
should do the following things:
1. Do not hire any worker except
on referral by the United States Em-
ployment Service.
2. Do not accept any job except on
referral by the United States Employ-
ment Service.
3. Do not quit a war job if you al-

to a war job, if you are not already

New York City (AFLWNS).—Plans
for new public housing here to cost
$260,000,000, designed to clear away
vast areas of New York’s slums and
provide modern living quarters for at
least 36,753 additional low-income
families in the first three years after
the war, have been drawn up by the
New York Hoosing Authority.
Edmond B. Butler, chairman of the
Housing Authority, disclosed that the
city agency had just presented a pro-
gram for $132,500,000 worth of addi-
tional Federally aided projects to John
A. Kevrfck. regional head of the Fed-
eral Public Housing Authority here,
as a basis for New York’s share in
the forthcoming request by FPHA to
Congress for a new allotment of hous-
ing loan funds.
This new Federal-aid program in
the city would embrace sixteen proj-
ects not heretofore announced, to ac-
commodate at least, 19,300 more low-
rent families, Mr. Butler said.
Plans have been completed for
eleven other projects for 15,482 fam-
ilies with $115,000,000 in State hous-
ing loan funds already available. The
three-year post-war construction pro-
gram of the Authority also includes
Jacob Riss Houses, an $88,500,000
home center for at least 1,354 families
on the lower East Side of Manhattan,
for which Federal money already has
been allotted and the site acquired;
and Elliot City Houses, a $3,860,000
projects for 617 families in the Chel-
sea area, to be financed through the
city’s occupancy tax.
The program also will involve ex-
tension to Vladeck Federal Houses
on the lower East Side, South Jamaica
Houses in Queens and Kingsborough
Houses in Brooklyn.
Architectural plans already have
been drawn or are in preparation for
near y half of this over-all program
including most of the state-aided
housing, and several of the sites have
been acquired, so that the city will be
Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS).—
Columbia Typographical Union of this
city, claiming the title of America’s
oldest continuously-functioning union,
observed its 130th anniversary on Jan-
uary 7.
The event was celebrated with a
banquet at the Willard Hotel in the
nation’s capital on Saturday night,
January 6.
Many labor leaders and government
officials joined with the union’s mem-
bers in the festivities.
Other unions were founded in this
country before 1815, but none of these
survived, Jesse B. Mandeck, president
of the local, declared. He added that
he had combed through labor histories
and found no other union anywhere
in the world with 130 years of un-
broken operation to its credit
Started originally as the Columbus
Typographical Society, the union has
many "first” in its record, Manbeck
said. It negotiated the first col-
lective bargaining agreement, estab-

To All Organizatitons,
Greetings:
You are no doubt aware of the se-
rious problem confronting Labor and
Management in meeting productlob
goals which have recently been great-
ly expanded in certain categories, in-
eluding certain types of heavy artil-
lery and ammunition.
Labor has been called upon through-
out the duration of this global war to
attain goals of production which have
been considered impossible until we
delivered the goods and met the de-
mands.
Once again, we are asked to meet
stepped-up schedules. It should be
distinctly understood that no criticism
is implied by this request. Our past
performances are such that every
member of organized labor can take
unmeasured pride in our accomplis! -
ments; this new demand simply
means that the unchanging fortunes
of,, war make it necessary to supply
vast quantities of certain war mate -
rials immediately to our armed force i.
