IWA Local 6-12 CIO.
Feeling ran high this morn
ing when the AIL. machinists
went through the Weyer
haeuser CIO picket line.
Pickets piled up in front of
me ursi macmnisi automobile
and brought it to a ntnn. The
driver attempted several times
to move ahead, without suc
cess, and pickets on two oc
casions lifted one side of the
car from the pavement. It was
not overturned, however.
With pickets grouped around
the first car, the driver of the
second machine went around the
crowd and rolled into the plant
gate. That appeared to Bive
momentum to the :AFL move
ment, and about a dozen cars,
carrying approximately 30 men,
passed into the plant amid cat
calls. The driver of the first
car got going and went In at
high speed.
No one was hurt. Virgil
Burtz, international vice presi
dent of the International Wood
workers of America (CIO) dis
played torn trousers which he
said resulted from an attempt
to run him down. He said he
stopped to talk to a man in a
car parked with the machinist
automobiles half a mile from the
picket line, and that the man
tartcd up the car and ran

toward him. He said his trous
ers were torn by the license
plate of the car.
Sheriff Lloyd L. Low and
Deputies Jack Francy and Dale
Muttoon sought to maintain
peace at the gate. Sheriff Low
asked the pickets to keep the
road open. He told the pickets
he was not interested in sirine
breaking or in opposition to their
program but that his duty re
quired mat nc do wnai ne couia
to keep the public highway open
to travel and maintain order. ,
Machinists went through the
CIO line for the first time yes
terday. On that occasion, the
line opened to the cars and there
was no physicial resistance.
Several state policemen were
in the vicinity of the picket line
this morning, but did not enter
the crowd mining around me
stalled car.
Machinists announced last
week that an investigation
showed the CIO strike to be
"illegal" and that they were not
obligated to respect the picket
line. CIO spokesmen cnargea
the CIO workers here are suf
fering under "intolerable condi
tions" and demanded a union
shoo. The strike has tied up
four large mills. At Weyer
haeuser, focal point of the
trouble, CIO has organized pro
duction employes, but the ma'
chinists have an AFL contract.

broadcast for a half hour.
NBC, in a statement, said the
union staged the "unauthorized
and wildcat strike to secure
their completely unjustified
wage demands.
Powley said the men receive
from $226 to $381 monthly for
a five-day week, but that they
are obliged to work up to 12
hours a day without overtime.
He said the umon sought a gen
eral wage increase averaging 35
per cent in all classifications and
overtime after eight hours in
any one day.
Tojo Planned
Suicide For
A Long Time
YOKOHAMA, Sept. 13 (P
Hideki Tojo, In the first inter
view; since he shot himself two
days ago, said today he had plan
ned to kill himself for a long
time , but that when he saw
American 1 officers outside hl9
house he -''knew the time had
come."
In talking today Tojo brushed
aside many questions relating to
war and politics, but when asked
if Saburo Kurusu had known
about Pearl Harbor plans when
he talked to Cordell Hull about
peace. Tojo replied that lie could
not answer without documentary
evidence.
1,300,000 Men To
Get Discharges
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 CP)
The army expects to release an
additional 1,300,000 men by
Christmas, a war department
spokesman told senators today.
With approximately 700,000
already released since V-E Day,
this will mean a reduction of 2,
000,000 in army strength since
Germany's defeat.
MaJ. Gen. S. G. Henry, assist
ant chief of staff, told the senate
military committee that demob
ilization was running ahead of
schedule with an estimated 400,
000 being released in September
instead of a planned 250,000. By
January, he testified, discharges
will reach a rate of 672,000
monthly, or 22,400 daily.

Robert Gray, American min

Some diplomats said they be
lieved Klnjt Peter was trying to
gain American support for his
view that Marshal Tito s regime
in Yugoslavia was dictatorial,
and that the situation demanded
a resHuffle of authority.
The young monarch was in
Paris last week conferring with
Dr. Vladimir Macek, Croat peas
ant leader, and was believed at
tempting to persuade Macek to
come to London and set up a
government in opposition to Tito.
U. S.-Greek Talk
Byrnes' talk with the Greek
recent was believed linked both
with a proposed peace treaty for
Italy and mixan pontics.
Byrnes took advantage of a
day recess in the conference of
five leading allied foreign min
isters. Staff representatives of
the United States, Great Britain,
Russia, France and China held
secret conferences and studied
documents which were so com
plicated as to postpone the third
plenary session until Friday.
Diplomats sav the Greeks are
willing to join the United States
and Great Britain in a lenient
attitude toward Italy, even
though Mussolini attacked the
little kingdom.

the people who live in great
workshop cities don't just ho out
in the fields at night and giitnor
their food for that evening and
the next day, lt hus to be
BROUGHT to them.
You then recall the bombed
and dynamited railroad bridges,
the shot-up and burned-out roll
ing stock and the wrecked and
torn up terminals thnt.hnvu boon
meeting your eye in 'an almost
wearisome sequence day utter
day.
You recall the highways that
would bo practically deserted
but for the American military
traffic. Deserted because there
are few trucks left in Germany
and precious little fuel to run
them if there were any.
How, you ask yourself, is the
tood unit is obviously present in
the country to be got into the
cities where It is needed.'
A NOTHER thought then occurs.
Food, in these modern days,
isn't consumed just as it comes
from the fields. In large meas
ure, it has to be PROCESSED.
The processing is done in fact
ories. It then breaks in upon you
that a very considerable number
of these dead and smokeless
chimneys must belong to PRO
CESSING plants that for one
reason or another (war damage,
lack of fuel, lack of tin or glass
or sugar) are idle.
If it can't be processed, how
Is it to get to the people who
need it? AND if it isn't pro
cessed much of the food you sec
in the fields must inevitably
SPOIL,
i .
TN the light of these facts, you
begin to revise your opinions.
It isn't enough that a normal
(possibly even MORE than nor
mal) amount of food is growing
undamaged in the soil of western
Germany. Or even that it is
slowly and inefficiently, with
clearly apparent lack of equip
ment, being harvested.
Before it can assauge the
pangs of hunger in the cities it
must be transported and pro
cessed and stored and distributed
and the machinery of trans
port and processing and storage
and .distribution in Germany is
now all but out of commission.
ANOTHER ' fact filters slowly
into your consciousness. This
food you see growing all around
in such apparent profusion Is
PERISHABLE food fruits and
vegetables and wine grapes and
such.
There is some grain, to be
sure, but not a great deal in the
aggregate. Western Germany
has always imported its grain
and feedstuffs from eastern
Germany and Poland and
Hungary and Romania. That
now is OUT. There is no trans
port, and besides it is rumored
on pretty good authority that
the Russians aren't leaving any
there for the Germans to im
port, i
Lack of feedstuffs cuts down
the number of livestock that can
be maintained, and at this point
you recall that you haven't, seen
many cows and steers and pigs
and sheep and chickens since
crossing the Rhine.
SO, in the end, in spite of the
fatni.es onrl tKn lnehnc anri
the undamaged completeness of
the purely agricultural areas of
this rich and Intensively tilled
western Germany- you have to
concede that it is entirely pos
sible Indeed, highly probable
that starvation may stalk the
land this winter.
If it does well, that is an
other story, to be dealt with in
another chapter.
