S. Hargreaves (father), London, Ont. COOPERATION SEEN PATH TO SECURITY (Continued from Page 11.) labor movements in Canada and declared that "unfortunately its development has been hampered by the antagonistic attitude of a great many employers, and by the lack of a Federal Labor policy which would protect the rights of the workers to, organize and bargain collectively." Mr. Mosher reiterated his statement of last year regarding strikes and slow-downs as a "weapon in the hands of the workers" and maintained that "the stage has not yet been reached in Canada when it is possible to abandon the strike weapon." He stated that men before going on strike are "giving very serious consideration to such a step since it means an immediate loss of income, but so long as only such a drastic method will remedy intolerable conditions, the workers are bound to feel justified in using it." URGES POLITICAL ACTION Describing the circumstances under which present labor movements have to work in order to obtain better wages for their members, A. R.

MOSHER Mr. Mosher stated that the attitude of labor movements towards governments and towards political action "must reconsidered with a view to determining whether or not the time has come for closer association with political parties." "I believe," he said "that this is a matter which may properly be dealt with at this convention, and that Congress unions and the labor movement as a whole should consider the desirability of finding means for the expression of its ideas and desires in the Federal House of Commons." He stressed that political action is "becoming increasingly necessary for the sake of the immediate interests of the workers; it is even more essential in view of the necessity for planning the kind of post-war world labor demands." Mr. Mosher advocated political action also as a part of "deot we owe to the armed forces," to the men who are now the maintenance of democratic principles." They must be given the assurance of economic security, of employment at wages adequate to maintain decent standards of living and homes in which their families may live in comfort," he declared. "Organized labor insists that the resources of Canada, human and material, shall be utilized to the, fullest extent to meet the needs of her citizens and render every possible assistance to the people of other countries less fortunate than ours." The president of the C.C.L. then outlined the preparations which the Canadian Congress of Labor has made regarding the post-war reconstruction period and mentioned that during the last parliamentary session, the Congress submitted to the Special Committee of the House of on Reconstruction and Re-establishment a memorandum in which not only the broad principles of economic planning were set forth, but specific proposals were advanced as to what might be done in the period immediately following the close of the war." Mr.

Mosher stated that the organized worker must be first "to get behind" such a program of reconstruction and that they must use every means in their power to have it discussed and endorsed. "More and more people now want to know why money can be found to wage war, to build planes and ships and make munitions, to clothe and feed and transport armies of millions, when impossible to find it for peace-time needs," he declared. "If it is necessary to mobilize the nation to win the war against povas it can and must be made, there erty, let it be done: In the world A will be both freedom from want and freedom from fear." He warned that opposition from representatives of "free enterprise' would have to be met doubted that in "the modern world we are striving for such a thing as free enterprise is possible. Mr. Mosher declared that "the issue must ultimately be decided by the will of the people as between the competitive, profit-seeking system which has been practised in the past and a system of cooperation and public ownership directed solely at providing and services required by the people." In conclusion he expressed his appreciation of great progress which the Canadian Congress and other labor movements have made during the past year "in the fight for a new social order based on economic and pointed the way to the future saying: "The opportunities now opening up to labor for service to the people of Canada and of other countries are greater than ever before the war has temporarily made it easier to effect changes in the economic system, but if former conditions are re-established, it will take a revolution to alter them." "The time has come for labor to assert its rights," he said, "and insist that they be respected, but at the same time it must unhesitatingly assume its full responsibilities as a national institution, having a vital function to perform and a worthy purpose to fulfil." Mr.

St. Laurent, referring to the post-war reconstruction program, during his brief address stated that after four years of continuous struggle, the Canadian ple could take time out to think of the "lot of the common man" after the war." He said "the lot of the common man has to be a lot better after the war than before the war," and warned the delegates that "we are not out of the woods yet." He maintained that Canada is striving to win and preserve "the world's free institutions" and indicated that the welfare of every working man, and minimum standards of pay, would have to established during post-war planning. Mr. Phelan, speaking on behalf of the Minister of Labor, gave a his department, which formerly emsurvey of the work and growth of ployed only 200 people while the present staff has reached the 7,000 figure. He stressed that most of these workers had come from the labor movement and the industrial field.

The department will do a big job, even after the war," he said, indicating that labor unions and the movement in general will have important role to play in the future. "It is a force to be reckoned with," he said "and that is the way it should be." He is of the opinion that after the war our economic system will not revert to a pre-war standard. Mr. Brais, on behalf of the provincial department of labor welcomed the deiegates to the Province of Quebec and stated that "Quebec has become a great and powerful industrial producer." He said that his department had done "all it could" to maintain harmonious relations between employer and employee and that Canadian Labor and capital had done a "superman job." C.C.L. CONVENTION ASKS BANK CONTROL (Continued from Page 11.) The resolutions committee, resuming the discussion of about 300 resolutions before the convention, recommended that a demand from and Vegetable Workers' union, local 1, Penticton, B.C., for the abolition of all Sunday work be rejected by the delegates, since it impossible to "comply with the request expressed in the resolution." The chairman of the committee remarked that, although he appreciated the good intention of the drafters of the resolution, it was impossible to stop railways and other industries vital to every day living.

"It is evident that the drafters of the motion had only thought of their own the chairman concluded. The Congress delegates approved a resolution calling for financial assistance to any union in the event of an authorized or approved strike, called by any organization coming under the jurisdiction of the Congress and the Executive committee. A motion dealing with the need for a provincial federation of the Canadian Congress of Labor and three other resolutions on the employment of certain transport workers on public works projects were referred to the incoming executive committee for further considera- tion. BOILERMAKERS MATTER. Discussion of a resolution on the suspension of the charter of Local No.

1 of the Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders' Union of Canada, Vancouver, was unanimously postponed by the delegates at the request of President A. R. Mosher, who told the delegates that hoped the annual convention would be able to avoid such a discussion. "Since I have been in Montreal" he said. "I have had the privilege and pleasure of meeting representatives of warring factions in Vancouver and it seems that we are at least making some progress towards unsnarling the tangle which has gone on there for past few months." Preceding the discussions, Pat Conroy, secretary-treasurer of the C.C.L.

gave the annual report of the officers of the Executive council in which he disclosed that the organization now has nearly 200,000 members. Over 100 new unions have been chartered during the past year, with Quebec taking the lead in membership and numbers of unions over most provinces. Besides giving a general of the work done by the Congress during the year, Mr. Conroy reported on his visit to Great Britain where he was the guest of British tradeunions. Most of the material published in the report has been discussed publicly during recent months.

The convention will continue till Friday. SERIOUS MANPOWER SHORTAGE HERE (Continued from Page One.) more than what the defence Minister outlined today will be necessary to enable this country to play its enlarged part in the fifth year of war. It may be said that up to da.e there has been no pressing need for more Canadian troops overseas. that for three years those already across the ocean have been kept relatively inactive. that in nation of leas than 12,000,000 people the manpower reservoir is obviously limited, that the war effort has been widely dispersed over a wide raw materials, foodstuffs and munitions that this young country could not be expected to do more, that it may have actually attempted too much.

But so far as military manpower is concerned, it was apparent from the outbreak of hostilities that some day the demand for soldiers from this country would be heavy, and for many months critics of the government, both in parliament and outside, have insisted there should be more men in training preparation for that day. What has developed. however, is that when the demand comes in this fifth year for more men Col. Ralston is forced to drastically cut home defence and to admit that even this measure will leave him short. A hint was given that another source of supply might be tapped, that servicing staffs might be curtailed.

It might even happen that the over -populated headquarters staffs might receive some attention. More important still would be extension to a nation-wide scale the present drive in Toronto to clean up pockets of draft evaders. We can think of other. areas where a rich harvest of this class could be reaped. FIFTH BATTLESHIP GIVES UP AT MALTA (Continued from Page One.) shaping up under Vice-Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten's newlyestablished Southeast Asia Command.

Through Field Marshal Lord Wavell, Viceroy of India, Britain has pledged the liberation of Burma among the first of her objectives, and there the first blow is expected to fall. Not a Bomb Falls on Malta Malta, September once the most bombed spot on earth, for the last two days has sheltered the main Italian fleet plus British battleships and numerous other major naval craft. Yet not a single bomb has been dropped. although the island is within short bombing range of Germany's best-equipped bases in I southern Italy. There has been no more convincing evidence in the Mediterranean war of Germany's waning air strength and the overwhelming air power of the United Nations.

To one who visited Malta last summer when a rowboat was taking a risk in Valetta harbor, the contrast is too dramatic to describe. Almost as astounding is experience of the British and Italian naval forces at Taranto. In this Italian harbor, only miles from Foggia, German's greatest air base in southern Italy which has 11 satellite fields, no ship of either country, British was navy struck sent a in bomb. warships and traded places with the Italian navy without a scratch of bomb damage to either side. Other British vessels, which had been patrolling off 'the Taranto coast vulnerable to attack by landbased planes, were equally lucky.

Although they expected a concentrated assault at any moment nothing more dangerous than the dropping of three flares took place. Officers reported they were certain they would be made the immediate target of a torpedo planeattack. They fired a few rounds of antiaircraft, driving the flare plane off. On the cruiser Luigi Cardorna, several sailors had their underdrawers and shorts drying on the rail. There were few shirts.

The Italian sailors apparently are allowed to go bare to the waist at will. They're deeply suntanned and look ruggedly healthy. Perhaps they appear so nonchalant because they are not prisoners of war. (A broadcast by the United Nations. radio in Algiers said no details can be given regarding future use of the Italian fleet but the 'Italian crews are not considered prisoners of war." United States Government monitors in New York recorded the broadcast.

(James Welland, Chicago Times correspondent representing the combined United States press, reported that four high ranking Italian naval commanders are with the Italian fleet at Malta. He said they are Admiral of Division de Zara, now aboard the flagship Duilio; Admiral of Division Romeo Oliva, aboard the cruiser Eugenio di Savoia; Admiral of Division Accoretti, aboard the battleship Vittorio Veneto, and Admiral of Division Biancheri, aboard the cruiser Duca degli Abruzzi.) There is no attempt at military secrecy. Each vessel has its name embossed a in large metal letters on either side of the stern. We inspected the battleships Andrea Doria and Cato Duilio in detail. Both appeared in perfect condition, clean as a whistle.

number They of carried an astonishing anti-aircraft guns, the heavy ones protected in turrets and the lighter ones on the deck behind shields. They mounted five heavy guns fore and five heavy guns aft and had batteries of three medium guns amidships. The two vessels, apparently sister ships, had sleek profiles with long horizontal lines. The crews hung nonchalantly over rails as we passed. One sailor they taking a shower on the open deck.

The crew members aboard the destroyer Alfredo Oriani teered a description of the German air attack on the Roma, which was bombed and sunk off the coast of Corsica Friday. They said it lasted off and on a for about three hours, between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. Thursday. fours and seemed to "Planes came over in threesand bombs from said an officer who spoke excellent English. "In any case we could see smoke and a flash as they launched their bombs." He said he was unable to see the hits on the Roma did not see any planes shot down.

The former Miss Charlotte Frances Payne-Townshend, she was one of the few persons to have the last word with Shaw. They were married in 1898 after a courtship on the bicycle paths of Surrey. Then he called her his 'green-eyed Irish heiress." As Shaw's fame increased, his wife retired to the background and she was little known to his public. Mrs. Shaw was described by the playwright before their marriage as "a millionairess with cleverness and character." Shaw valued her criticisms of his work and he and his fame were her great enthusiasms.

She was a close friend of Lady Nancy Astor and the two were often seen together at church services. Mrs. Shaw published a translation of French plays. She endowed institutions and scholarships and was known as a lover of music and the arts. She spoke German, French and Italian and also became proficient in Russian, which she studied before visiting the Soviet Union with her husband some years ago.

Mrs. Shaw was last mentioned in the British press years ago when a reporter for a London paper called to her about a letter Shaw had written. "Good gracious!" she said to the reporter, "has that silly he old man been writing to the newspapers again?" MA.J. JOHN C. CALHOUN The death occurred here in hospital on Saturday of Maj.

STRIKE AT MANCHESTER 1,000 War Workers Quit Jobs as Pay Increase Sought (By Wireless to The New York Times and The Gazette.) London, September 13. Approximately 1,000 workers on the contracting side of the electrical industry in the Manchester area struck late today, enforcing a demand for an hourly wage increase approximating five cents and improved working conditions. Fear expressed that stoppage in this vital war industry may spread immediately to the Birmingham district where union officials reported they have having considerable difficulty preventing precipitate action.

The Electrical Trades Union is asking for a wage boost of 3 pence hourly for 40,000 to 50,000 workers throughout the industry. Employers will meet here tomorrow to consider the demand. The work stoppage beginning at 5:30 p.m. affected workers in Manchester, Salford, Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport and Ashton. The strike is localized thus far but union officials said it was possible the executive board would consider extending it nationally.

The unionists complain that negotiations since March have not been fruitful, adding "we have asked employers to indicate whether the door is closed to further negotiations." One complaint of skilled electrical workers is that they are receiving less than common laborers in the same factory. Brig. J. W. Watson Dies Cape Town, September (P)- Brig.

(Heavy and army bombers battered medium, shipping and ground installations September 13 (Paramushiro time). A transport was set afire, another transport damaged and hits scored on three cargo (The raiders fought a 50-minute sky battle with Japanese fighters, downing at least 10 and perhaps another three of them.

Four United States aircraft were lost due to enemy action, and six others failed to return, the Navy said.) Salamaua, occupied by the Japanese after they overran Lae, January 25, 1942, affords the Allies a sea and air base on the left flank of vital enemy bases on New Britain. Eighteen miles northeast of Salamaua, the pincers on Lae was tightened, aided by air blows. Allied bombers, making a roundtrip flight of more than 2.000 miles, heavily bombed the waterfront and barracks at Macassar, the Celebes. Southeast of Salamaua, Japanese dive bombers attacked the harbor Allied-held Morobe, New Guinea, but today's communique said the raiders caused only minor damage. The Japanese left much equipment as they fled north.

Only one good trail leads from the captured base toward Lae. But even should they succeed in reaching Lae, their fate apparently is sealed because the entire area from Salamaua to Lae is tightly encircled. "We have captured Salamaua," the communique said. "Our southern forces are in close pursuit of remnants of the enemy's disintegrating troops. "Our northeastern and western forces (at Lae) are gradually increasing their pressure.

Our heavy bombers in direct support attacked enemy defence installations with 49 tons of, explosives, causing extensive damage at Emerys and Diddymans. A bridge on the main valley road was destroyed and several gun batteries silenced." In the Solomons, American bombers started fires and explosions in a new raid on the isolated Japanese air base of Vila, Kolombangara.
