LABOUR IN AMERICA
. RIGHT TO ORGANISE (Rec. 11.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 4. Lieutenant-colonel H. M. Davis, chairman of the National Defence Mediation Board, addressing delegates at a convention of national manufacturers, declared that to try to put the lid on labour organisation in this country at this, time would be disastrous. " I believe that labour organisation must, go on, not in spite of the emergency, but because of the emergency. An independent, selfdisciplined labour organisation is the tool of industrial peace and the tool of production. Without it we cannot erect the framework of an agreement upon which mutual trust and confidence must be built, and now we need every tool we can lay our hands on to complete the great task of pushing Hitler off the map."
