Brochures being sent prospecU say the federation is the “militant striking force” for conservation legislation qf all kinds. Other accomplishments chimed include: Its constant educational cam paign resulted in creation of the Wildlife Resources Commissi o n and passage of two strengthening laws by the 1952 General Assem bly. It was responsible for the co operative arrangement with manu facturers resulting in creation of a st^te water pollution control au thority. It is cooperating with the W’ild- .life Resources Commission for the mutual objective of the best in re- steelw-orkers are responsible for any shortage of military steel pro duction. Fairless issued the statement some 24 hours after Philip Murray, boss of the steelw-orkers told a joint strategy session of the USW Ex- excutive Board and Wage Policy Committee that industry doesn’t have the expansion capacity to produce steel needed for defense requirements. Said Fairless: “There has not been one instance in which we have failed to pro duce what the armed forces have asked us to produce. This will con tinue to be our policy. “Mr. Murray knows full well that if there is any shortage of steel for defense it is caused solely by the strike w-hich he and his associates must b£ar full responsi bility.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE “The Paper Evevryoody Reads” It Tn. 1 Why is it thaf» your switch en- have set gine has to ding "dong and fizz and and blade, birds sang in the trees, birdfoot spit and clang and bang and buzz j the sky was blue, and all w;as well. and hiss and bell and wail and there on the earth.
