TALKS LABOR
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 18 —
<AP)—Governor Thomas E. Dew
ey declared that the time has
come for the establishment of a 1
4 labor policy so that future labor
need no depend on “a single pol
itical party or caprice individ-j
ual,” on his arrival here today.
He told a crowd of sevre *
hundred persons gathered at the
railroad station, he favored equal
ity of the East, Mid-West and
far West, in reconversion from
war manufacture to peace-time ;
pursuits.
Later in a news conference at j
his hotel, Dewey said. “It is now i
time for our labor policy to be j
* - eramined with great care, so that
j
as we approach peacetime oper- j
ations, the labor people of the
country can be brought closer to
gether, and the rights of labor
more permanently established.”
' Later in a speech, he added:
“I expect to obtain ’ first-hand !
information during niy west coast
visit, regarding the problem of
return of re-located Japanese, to
their station in this counry.”
JAP SABOTEURS
ACTIVE IN CHINA
KUMMING, China. Sept. 18.—
(AP>—Hundreds of Japanese
plain clothes saboteurs, which
were reliably reported to have
filtered into the key city of
Kweilin, are being rounded up
and shot, it was reported today.
The latest information from the
$ eastern China front, places the
Japanese regulars about 15 miles
east, northeast of Kweilin, where
the U. S. 14th Air Force destroy ■ j
ed and virtually abandoned its i
strategically located bomber j
fighter bases.
To reach that point the Japs j
drove along both sides of the
Hunan-Kwangsi railway, toward j
^ Kweiling, and near Lingling, |
where another American air base
is located.
Another Japanese force is
thrusting westward from Heng
yang, once the site of still an
other U. S. air base, and is re- J
porte less than four miles of its j
immediate goal, Taoehing.
The Ninth Chinese war zone j
* troops are reported striking the ,
Japs on the eastern flank, both j
in the Lingling area, and around
Taohisen.
