Acti.vities of the Labor Section of I.
1. In visiting the various theaters., I ran into a.i.uestion
which eemeri to be.: corld:on to all of the theaters - namely, just
how much 0:-..;!; may be sticking its neck out through the activitien
oV the Labor !loction. There is a f(e,..,ling which is prevalent in
all the,tatera that 033 may be belly?, used at3 cover for an inter-
national labor movement. I believe there was an unfortunate
situation which developed in England that caused quite a ripple
in British circles. '
2. The common criticism of this particular activity is that
no one charged w-ith the responsibility of running a mission iN
permitted to know very much about the activities of the Labor
Jection. It mit:ht be rell to consider the advisability of making
thorow:h investigation of how the Labor section originated, who
brought the ideas to OS, and how IL is manned. I have been
informed that practically all of its personnel consists of men
who were active in labor Uni0115 or in the Department of Labor.
3. This may be entirely legitimate, bu,p, on the other hand,
If thope Any reason to doubt the un, It:Tlytfrig, objectives, a
thoron!;h mi!:ht well b .orthwhjie.

Dear Arthur,
Furt4r developmental have occurred *ince I laat wrote
you about tho Citrine-Oldenbrock matter. The meeting between
the two of them, designed to straighten out misunderstandings,
failed of it purpose. The Foreign Office thereupon called
conference at which, in adUition to the Foreign Office
representative, Mr. Dow, tho following wempropent: Colonel
Torgun, Sir Walter Citrine, Mr. Oldenbrook; Mr. Marchboki
Mr. Bell (Broadway), Sir Walter Citrin's socretary,,and:
k1e
The ixrition of the Foreign Office wit) that it N ;
granted exit pormit6 to Kramer unarm) on the represo6ta
1-Itit they wore going to Italy to engage in sabotage. Citrilia
stated: (1) that to date the TUC had boon denied the oppoi
of sending a trade union delegation to Italy; (2) that before
Kramer and nno were dispatched to Italy, he (Citrin0 liiqii
of Foreign Secretary Vdon an to the purpose of the m1uion
wau advised tiat they were going a* agents of the. tr-
purpose or engaging in sabota(e; (3) that when Kr*
Fanoon uativitiea in Southern Italy recaived pnWaIC
ho (Citrine) again inquired of the Foreign Offic0, d ?. aauzd.
that they had not been sent as a trade Union deiogatioir( or to
engage in trikte union activities, but asag0
ongago in oatiotage; (4) that he then thcjuir?dq
waa told that the ITF had sent Kramer a4d:
organize tho tranuport unions; and (5) that ,
mont to him was correct, the ITF had boon pan
of organizing Italian worker* previou64 doniod

randua among tho r000rdo Of the:Foreign Office statiir
request of Oldenbroek to permit Marchbaak to accompany
and Fano to Italy had been did. Oldenbrook denied
had mado any vloh request. When Woronce was mode to ,

almout always oovers port cities, although in some oases the
informants have been familiar with inland conditions an well,
Many of the foreign informants have formerly worked in indus-
trial planta in ocoupied countries and were familiar with the
details of nueh plants.
Over the 7/ear and one-half of operation of this project,
?lose contacts have been made with hundreds of seamen in the
Merohant Mgrines of all countries touching American ports.
These unlAid contAJte are constantly on the slert tor material
useful in tha war effort.
During the past months, many specific projects have been
developed. Among the more important of these has been the work
of thie project in recruiting seamen of foreign nationalities
ao agenta for work in their 000upied homelands.
it has also been possible to secure through returning
so*men innumerable documents, newspapers, underground publica-
tions, and various types of negative intolligenee. Disoussions
regarding the possible assistance of the project have been held
with Commander Morgan and Commander Pratt as a result of which
information of this type has been turned over to the negative
lntelligenoe unit.
While most of the work of the project has dealt with the
European field, work hes already been begun to extend this
work Lu tho Far Eautorn field by opening offices on the west
Ooast. There is every roas)n 40 believe that the use of seamen
as A souroe of inrormstion and am a mer.ns ol oontaeting other
useful pooplo from amng oriental labor groups will be as
suocossful on the Went Oast s has been on the Sast (oast.
It is diffioult to summarise in figures the number of men
interviewed since reoorded report* are only made of a small
percentag, of those who aro contacted, Since almost 400 re-
ports have been actually recorded, it is likely that well ?vet
1,000 mc n have been interviewed In the course of the year* Of
these a large number were considered sufficiently observant
and reliable to be considered for further use. Am the number
of ports made available to Allied shipping increases, there is
little doubt that the scope of the woatk of this project will
rimilarly expand. Charges in the .ita.tediato types of ezd places
from iihioh information acmes may take place but the soures--
aeamen--will oontinue to be of vital tmportanoe,

LABOR 0141X IN PRAWN APRIOA
911Witionm
During the last two months several of the plans dimmed
with Uaneral Donovan IA North Atria* have been pat inbo ettest
by the Labor peak in NATO. The operations have been handicapped
by a number of factors, inoluding shortages of instruator and
*toff oalsonnelo insufficienoy at training faoilitiea, diatom
aulties of transportation, and unavailability of necessary
equipment. These obstaoles are being remedied but the prooess
is slow and the oonditions or wort remain adverse. Novertholeis,
oonsiderable progrema ha/ been made in carrying past plans into
operational stagea as well as in bluoprinting and making paMasw
taking preparation(' for future operations.
The activities in NATO are briefl? summarised below unter
the various project titles that have been ansignedi
(1) wileine" Projeoti This projeot was suggested by general
Donovan while in Algiers during the part summers In essemeo,
it consists of sending offioials of the strongly organised
International Tranaport Workers Federation into northern Italy
for promoting reeistance among the railroad workers there Ana
spreading dissatisfaation among the German railroad workers
themselves. Two officials of the nir spent a number of weekt
in Algiers training agent peraonnel for this penetration. At
present they are both at our advent), base in Bari, one having
arrived at the end of November end the other at the end of
Deoember. They immediately establi'Aed aontaot with emissaries
oominA through the Oerman lines, One of them who speaks Italia*
Lankly has studied the Italian situation itself at first hand
and also eoquired information from government representatives
interested tn labor problem.. It appears that although the
Northern Italian railway worker' have a tunationing organise,-
tion of considerable strength whioh we shall be able to use,
there is conaiderable diffioulty at the moment in establishing
contaot with Italian railway workers ,n northern Italy StA40
great many of their leaden i were shot or west undergremed
after the fell of Mnasolini. Nonce, at the moment there is
no evidenoe or aocurate information about personalities is
the north of Italy. Our *gents are making every peseible
attempt to reeetablish oonteots with this groups
(2) "Stork" Projots This project oontemplates moat
penetration of Austria end Oermany by infiltratieit tree
Partiean-he/d territory. Mr. Van Arkel Is eurrently in Mari
whore ho hAS concluded the neoeasery arrangements with the
Partisan representative* for a personal trip into tartioem

It is probable that a sourier through the Partisans esm be
arranged; if not? other *WS 11011). be round. Arrangements
hove boon made tor paraohuting in additional supplies. There
if A mep tie-in with Algiero and their grid system Ilan give
any epcft with precision, All arrangements have been completed
for reproducing almoet any German doomenta. It is 141101140i
that on the trip mentioned above Mr. Van Arkel wi4 be asomew
pented by at least four qualified agent*, Oho will remain in
Yugoelevia when he returns to Italy, and by his Weative
Oftloor Captain Oevers who will likewise remea at the
Yugoelav base; the goal of the trip is some looation as close
as possible to the Readquartere at one of the Partisan Corps
and as elope as possible to the territory saluted for opera-
tions.
The projeot has *uttered AO doubt by a temporary set-
beak as a result or military cation taken by the Germans, who
have ocoupled one of the islands on which it was proposed ti
landa era were sighted by resew, planes oft *nether. Other
points will now have to be eeleoted.

LABOR DESK IN LISBON

E-SECRET
On July 23, 1943, the Labor Seotion dispatched an agent
to Lisbon. Since his arrival, he has sent us twenty-five
reports which dealt principally with the Portuguese polities].
scone. These reports were circulated within OSS and have re-
ceived very favorable comment together with a request that
they be continued. This agent is presently travelling through-
out Spain and is working very closely with Gregory Thomas who
has been advised to make use of the widespread an,. important
contacts available to this agent.
Staff
The work of the Labor Desk is limited to the operations
of the single agent referred to above who ill stationed prin-
cipally in Lisbon, but who by reason of an exoellent cover is
able to travel throughout the country at will and contacts
broad range of business, political a.4 professional groups.
The administrative features of the work are taken care of for
the Labor Desk by other OSS personnel in Lisbon.
BERN
From time to time the Labor Desk has oommunioated to our
Bern roprosentative the names of various figures formerly
active in trade union circles many of whom were thought would
be of aid to him because of previous underground experieno?
and contacts leading into enemy territory. Bern has indicated
in many cables that these persons have been and are extremely
helpful to him and are collaborating with him indefinite
projects for penetrating Austria, Hungary and pirmanyl, One
of these projects is about to be activated having progressed
to the point of arranging a rendezvous: The Labor Section
tht-ough its Bari, London and Algiers representatives is
keeping in close touch with developments in Bern with * view
to coordinating the activities of the Labor Section and its
field offioes with Bern.

In our last discussion together, you displayed
interest in the number of seamen employed by the different
Allind Nations at the beginning of the war and the number
already lost through enemy action. We are in receipt of
some statistics on this subject from the International
Transportworkers Federation. In supplying us with this
information, Mr. Becu, the international representative
of the IT!' states:
*The figures, however, are only approxi?
mate and are not official seeing that they have
been supplied by the different unions affiliated
with our International."
Great Britain is not included in the list since
Mr. beou was unable to obtain even approximate figures with
regard to that country. The British seamen's representative
in America was of the opinion that at the beginning of the
war about 50 to GO thousand seamen were employed, excluding
Chinene ar0 Lascar seamen sailing under British flag.

The ervort to convert otl anu gasoline-driven traneportntion means
in Germsny to the use of wood-burning gas generators has been extended
to the Netherlands, I am informed. Practically the entire fisht-g
ileets of the Netherlanuers are now belne, fitted with these dev.ceo.
Vork on the 1:?ge numbers of fishing boats in the towns of Wieringen,
Enkhuizen, Ul , and others has already been completed, while the con-
version of ti-0 tleeto 0: Ijmirden and other fishing centers is scheduled
for the letter part of October.
Thourh this conversion serves thu purpose of conserving the rapidly
diminishing cil reserves in German hams, the Germans are forcing the
Dutch fishermen to shoulder part of the finencial burden of the con-
version, with the result that the fiShermen are doing their utmost to
outwit the invaders. The boat owners pre made to pay 65b% of the inetalla-
tion costs, to ho paid partly In eavh anu partly in installments to be
deducted from their fiJh eaten which they are bound to deliver to the
German authorities in its entirety. Ar e result, the Dutch fishermen
are now diverting largo part of their witch to the "black food market"
where they let high prices.
Another in of the trhn:,00rt.,tion Oitficulties in seemingly
unimportant tioldu iv to be founo in the recent confisctAion of all

the hanUb ct the uomane, which iurnishoe the workers with an excuse tor
absence trori 7 (Irk or delay in reporting to work.
The stenuily growing shortnge of manpower in Germany, partic-
tanrly in the 4:1elds of transportation, is also attested by the fact
that neurly til Dutch street car motormen and conauctors have been sent
to the Botch tor work. In Karlsruhe, Western Germany, - recent target
of a heavy sir attack, - trolley cars and other public conveyances are
run almost entirely by Dutch personnel. The number of Dutch transport
workers employed in Germany in the spring of 1942 eas 21023, accord-
ing to these same sources. The figures for other Skilled labor groups,
shipped from the Netherlanas to Gereany, were: 60,371 building trades
workers, 2,497 garment workers, 1,97b lumber workers, 2,195 rubber
workers, 6,'O coal miners, 25,682 metal workers, 15,640 textile workers,

neftmen in the Argentine, Oftnede, China, Loundor, Innia, the Netherlando
i.ast Indies, Now Menland, AuetrAlia, Paleetine, Rhodeoia end Trinidad.
When Hitler onmo to power, the L-anaport workera' unions in
Germany and the varioun ocuntriee oconpiee by Germany were among the rirat
to be offloially diseolved. In opite of thin offioiel deetruotiono however,
the organizattona, though driven underground, kept in regular oommunieation
with ITV headquarters, and the UP underground communioation oyetom between
ita affiliaten and Ito membera hae been rother effectively maintained.
Until. 1930 Lha headquartere or the ITP wore in Amsterdam. In
that year they were mcved to Loon where they are at present.
The attitude of 1,he 1TF towerd the preaent war ie one or militant
support. This attitude remeined unohanged drming the period or the German.
2oviet pact. The lTio hoe At all timen red:toted oommuniat penetration, and
doea not follow the communint line.
In Prenoe, Pollnnd, olpm, Luxembur!!:, Germany, Italy, Norway,
Danmerk, L;weden, nmitzerland, Portugn1 end IT)Ain, funotionarien and Agents
of the ITP are carrying on underground activities. Unlike the usual
agenta employed for aaboter:e or subversion, the main; irs of the 'Tie do not
have to be paid for their work. They are devoted to ihe teak of inter-
fering in every way with the atiooesaful exploitetior re their countries
by the NAzia. Wurthermore, becauee of the atrength of the IT? in the
railway end maritime fieldn among the skilled employees of theta) Indus-
triee, the memberm of the TPI have natural cover for their aotivities.
We are in 000peretion with the 1TP end are utilizing their faoil-
ides for penetrating the occupied end enemy countries of atrope. Vor
example, .:edlah seamen AO pert of their job regularly travel to the
000upied countrieft of Europe ftrid even to flermeny itaelf. Swedinh railway-
men have direct contact with the Norwerian underground and Swims railway-
wen with the Oerman underground. Nany of these workers are 1110 people
and are devoted to the principlea of the ITP. We, in oollaboration with
the ITV, are obtaining intelligenoe from those aoeroea whioh should be
moat helpful in ehortening thin war.
Among the trent:wort workers perhaps the moat important aro rail-
way workers. !iith natural ()over, ,,oinr RV ft part of their job from place
to place, they can, if cooperative and orranilted, become the ksty to an
inrormation ayatem. Mont of' them are akilled and cannot be replaced.
Many of them are reaouroeful. They are, on the whole, ununuelly /Mel-
ligent. :nloh evidenoe aa wH have has indicated their deaire to injure
the enemy and to help United Lotions. irior to 1933 in lermany and prior
to the dates or 000upation in the occupied countries, thee* worker had

Labor Divivion of the
Ottioe at Strategio Servioes
Very early in the work of the Offloo of Strotegio
Services it was reoognised that the labor movements in Axis
and 000upied oountriee were important allies in the oommon struggle
against the Axis powers. These labor movement' had deolared war on
Hitler and Mussolini long before Pearl Harbor. In every Axis And
000upied country they aonstituted the bulwark of the movements of
reeistanoe, Although their orinnisations were dissolved, they
nevertheless 'tonged an unremitting struggle underground. Not only
did these labor movements wage internal warfore in the form of
sabotage and resietenoo but also they oonstituted a valuable link
with the outside world and a potential sour?e or valuable and
strategio information. Carrying on as they did and do under the
moot dittioult of oiroumstenoes, they required help in many forms
in order to oontinue and intensify their aotivities.
In reoognition of this, the ?Moe of Strategic Servioes
established a Labor Division, staffed with 1144 who had an under'
standing of the labor forces whioh had carried on the underground
war ageinst the Axis. This Labor Division has.
1. Istablished oontaot with underground labor
orgenisations in virtually all of the *eoupied
oountrie" and in the Axis oountries too,
2. extended tubstantial help to these under.
ground movements in the form of finanoial subsidies,
tsoilitios for oommunioation, equipment and materials
indisputable for oarrying on undArgrows4 aottvities,

To win the ooneidenoe and support of there labor elements
hall bran a difficult and arduous task. ?toy all share a traditional
antipathy toward cooperating with rwernmental *moles. This is
oontrary to the established policy os' the oontinental labor move.
sent, In order to establish intimate oolleboration, it was aeoce-
eery to break down this traditional attitude. No existing Intelligenoe service of the Oovernment wee or is in a position to do
this. They laok the perecomaland sympathetic, point or view whish are
essential in order to obtain the cooperation of labor elements. The
relationship* whioh have been established between the uadergroomd
labor movements and the Labor Division of the Offioe of Stratelpie
Service' proves the neoessity for en away which eon earry en
political and psychological warfare free from the limitations
Inherent in the functioning of the orthodox military department*.
The fact is that neither the Military Intelligente Division nor the

oonsequenoe with important underground labor groups nor wore smelt
relationships established by the Psyohlogioal Warfare Branch of
MID during the period of its atistonee. This was due te two
reasonso (1) the laok of appreeiation by MID and MI of the value
of these contacts, and (I) the ]sok of eanfidenee of the underground
labor groups in the military and naval intelligence services.
We are entering upon a period of the war in which it be-
oomos more important than ever to oapitalise ?Ton the forces of
internal resistanoe behind enemy lines. 14 have underway, in cool-
laboration with the underground labor groups, elsborate plans and
projects to 000rdinate military invasion of enemy-held lands with
widespread internal rssistanoe. The suaoess of these plans will
mean muoh in the shortening of the war and in the lessening of our
casualties. They will also mean mush in the restoration in seamy
and occupied oountriec of democratic institutions whioh the under-
ground labor movements aro uniformly pledged to reestablish.

Labor Division of the
Office of Strategic Serviees
Very early in the work of tne Office et Strategio
Services it was rsoognised that the Labor movements in Axis
and 000upied countries were important allies la the oommon straggle
against the Axis powers. These labor movemeate had iieelarei *sr Oa,
Hitler and Mussolini long before Pearl Mather. In every Anis mad
occupied country they constituted the bulwark opt the movements et
resistanos. Although their organisations were dissolved, they
nevertheless wagod an unremitting struggle underground. Set only
did those labor movements wage internal martian) in the for* if
sabotage and resistance but also they constituted a valuablsolink
with the outside W04 14 and a potential source of valuable and
strategic information. Carrying on as they did and do under the
most difficult of circumstances, they required help in many ferns
in order to continue and intensify thuir activities.
In rocognition of this, the Cffice of 3trategio iliervioes
established a Labor Division, staffed with men who hal an under-
standing or the labor forces which had carried on the underground
war against the Axis. This Labor Division has,
1. tstablished contact with viallerground labor
organisations in virtually all of the occupied
countries cd in the Axis countries too,
2. Extended substantial help to these under-
,round movements in the form of finanoial subsidies,
facilities for oommunioation, equipment and materials
indispensable for carrying on underground activities,
etc.
