Walter OrafT. or Philadelphia
president of the Cumberland Lum-ber
Company, was the guest speaker
at the weekly dinner meeting of the
Conshohocken Rotary Club held
last nigh: at Andorra Inn.
Taking for his subject. -Racket-eering
in Labor". Mr. Graf! ex-plained
to his auditors how the
labor unions are hindering the war
effort. He said that while the ma
jority or people are denied the us-of
their automobile because of tl.e
rationing, the representatives of
labor unions are permitted to drive
their cars from town to town and
collect union dues He said It is
hard for a man to engage in work
without having to pay for it. He
called attention to the soldiers
fighting on thirty-one battle fronts
and how the labor unions last Oc-tober
refused to permit the miners
to work six days a week. He said
he attended a ceremony at a plant
where an E award was being pre-sented
and the plant was compelled
to engage a union band to provide
music. He then asked what are we
doing about it? He offer-d the
suggestion that letters be wiltttD
the representslives from the vari-ous
districts requesting that legis-lation
be enacted that will break
up the racketeering
