Canadian Flier Tactics Echo Football Strategy
International News Service reports Canadian trained airmen join Britain’s skies using football play tactics. Wing Commander Ernest McNab, famed for introducing football plays to the Royal Air Force, emphasizes teamwork over individual heroism as the core of modern aerial combat. McNab’s squadron fought in England from May to October before aiding Canada’s vast empire training drive. Prime Minister Mackenzie King notes the program has produced thousands of airmen for overseas service in a massive wartime mobilization.

Power Plant Strike Delayed By Mediation Action
Pittsburgh June 19 A second last minute action kept off a CIO led walkout at Colfax Power plant Springdale as Frances Perkins certified the dispute to the National Mediation Board after negotiations collapsed. The CIO Utility Workers committee demanded bargaining rights at Duquesne Light's Colfax plant while an independent union holds a system wide contract. The Colfax plant serves the Allegheny Beaver industrial area critical to national defense. The initial deadline passed without a showdown as conferees sent the dispute to the labor board for settlement. The independent union later rejected the department’s proposals.
