Many Protests

Droft in Wolkouts-
Not in a long time has Freeport
been so stirred up as it was over
the strike of workers at the plant
of the Columbia Bronze Corp.,
which has contracts to manufac-ture
propellers for the Navy De-partment
aggregating close to
$1,000,000.
Various organizations adopted
resolutions condemning strikes in
plants essential to the production
of materials necessary for National
Defense, and If the jnen had not
returned to work Monday, there
were indications that the situation
might go beyond the mere passing
jf resolutions.
The (Freeport Kiw&nis Club
started the ball rolling at its
meeting last week when it adopted
the following resolution:
"Whereas the emergency of war
has brought Imminent peril to al
American institutions, and
"Whereas, to avert disaster there
must be no wit hold Ing in • spirit
In cooperation, in the production
of-needed materials, and
"Whereas the American Govern-ment
has provided fair and equit-able
means of negotiating Indus*
trial disputes, Therefore be it—
"Resolved, by the Klwanis Club
of Freeport, N. Y., that the Gov-ernment
be asked to use the Great
Emergency War Powers grafted to
it by the people uof the United
States to exercise its authority to
avert and end strikes in essential
defense industries,
Urge ReclassiAcatlon
"Be It further resolved that If
there be those engaged in such^
fall... W heed the
suggestions, if they
are of military age anc* status, any
deferment presently granted by;
virtue of their employment be
forthwith withdrawn and that
they be ordered reclassined as 1m-mp&
lately available for military
Beryice."
Signed by President Clinton M.
Flint, copies of the resolutions
were sent ,by telegram to "President
Roosevelt, Sidney Hlllman, director
of the Labor Division; Donald Nel-aonj
chairman of the War Pro-duction
Board; Brig; "Gen. Ames
