GAMES FOR YOUR
AUTO TRIP
LOIE BRANDON
They had been on the road about a
couple of hours when Betty and Billy
began to show signs of restlessness.
"Wish we'd stayed at home," Billy
remarked ominously.
"We'd be playin' games if we had
stayed at home," Betty answered, fol
lowing her twin brother's lead, as
usual.
The faces of the other children im
mediately became gloomy.
Mother smiled and remarked bright
ly, "I've been thinking!"
"What?" demanded Betty and all
the children wore at once wide awake
with interest. For when Mother said,
I've been thinking!" something nice
was sure to happen.
"I've been thinking that games do
not have to be played in any special
places," Mother continued. "We can
play just as nice games right here in
the car as anywhere else, only they
will not be quite the same kind of
games."
"What kind of games will they be?
Of course we can't play running and
jumping games," Billy reasoned.
"Oh, no!" Mother laughed. "But we
have a chance to think up some new
ones that we do not play at home.
Now take this one for instance and
she opened her pocket book and hand
ed each of the children a Lincoln-head
penny. "Now see who can be the
first to find the answers to the ques
tions I shall ask. While Uncle Ned
is driving, Daddy, you act as score
keeper and judge for us, please. Is
everyone ready? All right! Here is
the first question: Can you find the
name of a song?"
"America," answered Betty prompt
ly. "We sing it in school."
"That is fine," praised Mother, "now
here is the next one." And a whole
hour flew by while they were hunt
ing the answers to the following:
A foreign fruit Date
Something that grows on a stalk of
corn Ear
A small wild animal Hare (hair)
spring flower Tulips (two lips)
ffmA Chinese beverage
Tea (T)
Something a potato has Eye
A messenger One sent (one-cent)
Where ships travel Sea (C)
A
famous statue Liberty
A number One
A large cookie was the prize award
,ed the winner of this game, while
smaller cookies were given as "boobie"
prizes to the other players.
Color-color wras the name of the
next game played. The child making
the lowest score in the first game
was allowed to start the next. He
asked all the other players to hide
their eyes so that he could look around
and choose the colors of some object
they could all see without moving
from their seats.
"Green and gold," he announced
promptly.
They all looked and looked but it
was several minutes before Sue noticed
the gold ring with the green stone
that Mother was wearing. It was then
Sue's turn to chose the colors of the
next object to be gussed. As honors
were about evenly divided in this
game, no awards were made.
When they stopped for lunch, Daddy
took square pieces of paper and made
each of them a pinwheel which he fas
tened to short lengths of cardboard.
When they were again on the road
they could hold these in the breeze
and watch them spin.
In the afternoon they played the

Loans Approved To Defray
90% of Low Rent And
Slum Projects
Washington, D. C.—The number of
public housing projects under ap
proved loan contracts from the United
States Housing Authority reached
450 today when President Roosevelt
sanctioned a list of loans totaling
$42,646,000 to 20 local housing au
thorities for slum clearance andi low
rent developments.
With these Presidential approvals,
made upon recommendation of Admin
istrator Nathan Straus, USHA loan
contracts total $643,978,483 to 184
public housing agencies throughout
the country.
Earmarkings outstanding for fur
ther loans stand at $44,811,517, mak
ing a total of $688,790,000 in USHA
commitments to 204 local housing au
thorities in 35 States, the District of
Columbia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. In
addition, the USHA has allocated
$7,225,000 to the War and Navy De
partments to construct badly needed
homes for families of enlisted and
civilian personnel in Army and Naval
establishments in communities where
there are no local housing authori
ties.
Approved loans to public housing
agencies to date provide for a total
of 149,941 homes in which to rehouse
families from city slums and sub
standard farmhouses, and families of
Defense workers.
The loans approved today are to de
fray 90% of the estimated cost of 44
low-rent and slum clearance projects.
Of this number, 22 projects are new,
while the remaining 22 were sanction
ed in previous loan contracts which
were reapproved in consolidated form.
As of August 23, there were 251
USHA-aided projects totaling 93,433
dwellings either under construction or
completed. Tenants have moved into
59 projects in the cities of Birming
ham and Mobile, Alabama San Fran

game pack-up. Betty started the game
by saying, "I packed my trunk and
in it I put an artist's album." Billy
was next and he said, "I packed my
trunk and in it I put an artist's al
bum and a bag of beans." The game
progressed in this manner, each one
putting in, according to alphabetical
order, the oddest things of which he
could think, and remembering and re
peating also, each time, everything
that had gone into the trunk before.
After this game, Mother handed
each one an apple and before they ate
them, each child guessed how many
seeds there would be in his apple.
They saved each seed, and then at
the end each checked the whole num
ber of seeds found in his apple with
the number he had guessed.
As the journey ended, all agreed it
had been a very short and pleasant
day.

Strike Is Averted
At Boeing Aircrait
Arbitration Is Accepted By
Both Management And
The Machinists
Seattle, Wash. A strike of 7,000
union mechanics at the Boeing Air
craft Co. was averted when the work
ers and management accepted arbi
tration of their differences.
Boeing executives had forced Local
751, International Association of Ma
chinists (AFL), to the verge of a
strike by insisting on a 12 per cent
wage cut for new employes now get
ting 62 cents an hour.
The company wanted to throw the
entire wage contract into arbitration,
including points upon which agree
ment had been reached, but the
union's contention that only matters
in dispute be arbitrated was upheld,
Union negotiators had previously
obtained agreement on a scale of $1.15
an hour for premium workers, $1.05
for Class A mechanics and 85 cents
for Class B. mechanics. The issue
was the union's demand for a 70
cent rate for Class C. helpers, as
against the prevailing 62 V2 cents and
the company's counter-proposal of 55
cents.
The peace plan was overwhelmingly
approved at a mass meeting. Presi
dent Harvey W. Brown of the Ma
chinists, also a member of the Na
tional Defense Advisory Commission,
assured the workers that the govern
ment would support the union in its
fight against a wage cut.
After the meeting the unionists
formed a motorcade several miles
long for a parade through the busi
ness district. Headed by Local 751's
brass band, the cars bore banners
reading: "A Living Wage Is the Best
National Defense."

Factory lobs and Payrolls
Gain In Pennsylvania
Philadelphia (ILNS).—Employment
and payrolls in Pennsylvania factories
increased about 1 per cent further
from June to July, according to re
ports received by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia. Usually employ
ment shows no change in this period
and payrolls decline somewhat. The
number of factory wage earners is
estimated at 907,000 in July, or 7 per
cent more than a year ago, and week
ly wage payments in Pennsylvania fac
tories at $22,500,000, or 20 per cent
more than July, 1939. These levels
are still somewhat below the peaks
reached in the closing months of last
year.
In Delaware factory employment
and payrolls in the aggregate declined
nearly 2 per cent, reflecting a tempor
ary curtailment of activity in import
ant plants producing transportation
equipment. Gains were reported in
employment in all other lines except
lumber and chemicals.

Wage Hour Office
Breaks All Records
A Total of 182 New Cases
Filed During Month
Of July
Swinging into high gear, the Wage
and Hour Division in July instituted
the largest number of cases in the
courts in its history, Colonel Philip
B. Fleming, Administrator, said to
day. At the same time, the Division
closed more cases in court than in any
other like period since the Fair Labor
Standards Act became effective on Oc
tober 24, 1938, he declared.
A total of 182 new cases were filed
during the month, according To Col
onel Fleming, who pointed out that
this was a greater number of cases
than for the entire year of 1939, when
an aggregate of 146 cases were filed,
83 civil and 63 criminal. Of the
cases instituted in July, 173 were civil
suits and nine were criminal prosecu
tions. This brings the cumulati%*e to
tal of new cases in 1940 up to August
1 to 652,552 civil and 1G0 criminal.
Closed during July were 140 cases,
of which 133 were civil and seven
criminal. This activity likewise ex
ceeded the figures for the entire year
of 1939 when an aggregate of 118
cases were closed, 75 civil and 43 crim
inal. July cases closed brought the
1940 cumulative total to August 1 to
557, 483 civil and 74 criminal.
The aggregate number of new cases
instituted since the law became ef
fective to August 1 is 798, 635 civil
and 163 criminal and the aggregate
number of cases closed in the same
time is 675, 558 civil and 117 criminal.
While the new cases instituted in
July cover a wide range of industries,
the increase is in part attributable to
the concerted drive for enforcement
of the Act in the low-paid lumber
industry, which began June 10, plus
the growing number in the ranks of
the inspection forces and the cumul
ative experience of its members.
When the law became effective in
1938 there was a total of only 21
members of the inspection forces. On
December 31, 1939, the number had
been increased to more than 400, in
cluding all ranks of inspectors and
payroll examiners. This staff has been
gradually expanded as qualified per
sonnel became available until July 31,
1940, when nearly 650 inspectors and
uavroll examiners were in the field.

President Green Testifies on
Changes Federation
Demands
Washington, D. C.—President Wil
liam Green of the American Federa
tion of Labor urged the Senate Edu
cation and Labor Committee to amend
the National Labor Relations Act at
once.
Testifying at three secret sessions
of the committee, Mr. Green strenu
ously objected to stalling tactics
whoch have thus far held up affirma
tive action on this important issue.
In a careful analysis of the Smith
amendments which passed the House,
Mr. Green gave his support to some
of these amendments and opposed
others.
He told the committee, the

A. F. L. Tells Senate
A.
F. of
L. endorsed the Smith bill in the
House in order to get action, with the
distinct reservation that the Federa
tion would try to perfect this bill in
the Senate. Rather than have "de
structive" amendments adopted, he
said, the A. F. of L. would resign it
self to continue suffering from injus
tices under the present Act and its
maladministration.
This statement was misinterpreted
by Senator Ellender of Louisiana, who
told newspapermen that Mr. Green
was opposed to the Smith bill and his
attitude doomed any action on amend
ments at this sessiop. Mr. Green
said nothing of the kind. He insisted
en immediate action by the Senate and
explained in detail the amendments
which the A. F. of L. is determined to
obtain. These are:
1. Creation of a new labor board of
five members.
2. Protection of established unions
by giving the workers themselves the
right to decide by their votes the
collective bargaining unit in which
they wish to be included.
These are the two major amend
ments on the Federation's list. Others
include the "free speech" amendment
and the right for employers to peti
tion the board for an election.
The Senate Committee proposes to
continue secret hearings for several
weeks more, notwithstanding the fact
that it devoted months of its time to
public hearings less than a year ago.
L'nless the committee acts with re
asonable promptness to report a satis
factory bill, the Federation will use
all the power at its command to ex
pedite matters.
Air-Minded Men Wanted

Labor "Leaders"
Wanted
By
Dr. Charles Stelze
Nothing seems worth doing today
unless it can be expressed in terms
of billions, millions, or possibly thous
ands. But after we have decided,
for example, that the government
needs billions of dollars to carry on
a war, millions of men for armies and
navies, and thousands of airplanes and
warships, we make the discovery that
the whole thing will collapse unless
we can find the men who are capable
of taking the lead in each of the di
visions responsible for winning the
war.
While we need money, machinery
and men in putting over any kind of
a job, the most important factor is
men, no matter what the job may be.
But men the world round may be di
vided into three classes—workers,
Jerkers and shirkers—men who stay
on the job, men who go by fits and
starts, and men who try to get out
of doing any kind of a job. There
never was a notable thing done in the
history of mankind that did not have
the right kind of leadership. And
leadership is a rare quality.
All this applies to Labor Day. There
is power in numbers, but no organiza
tion is stronger than its weakest link.
By the same token the right kind of
leadership may give strength and sta
bility to the organization so that it
will be lifted to such heights that even
the weaker members will feel the pull
of the personalities qualified to in
spire and lead the entire membership.
Such men will take risks and dare
defeat, because they not only believe
that the day has not gone by when
"one shall chase a thousand, and two
put ten thousand to flight" but they
also believe that "in union there is
strength." This means team-work and
cooperation clear down the line. Such
men will not falter when enemies as
sail them with lies, or when friends
caution them to go slow for fear that
they may "start something." They will
see the way out, or they are seeking
the way. They will say to their fel
lows, "Come in—let's do it," but they
will tackle the job whether anyone
comes or not. They will put ginger
into all that they set out to do, but
they will leave out the mustard and
the vinegar. They will be all on fire,
but they will not scorch their friends
and associates. They will be humble
enough to accept what is "nobody's
business" as their business.
Labor needs more such leadership
today, when the world lags because
of
bad conditions and dead organizations
and lame methods and indifferent peo
ple and languishing enterprises
no
matter what the cause may be. This
situation will never be remedied by
high-sounding resolutions or pro
nouncements. It requires men who
are not daunted by sordidness, the
failures of others, nor by the plea that
the thing can't be done. They will
prove that it can be done by doing
it!
A small group of such men in each
labor union would be a host in them
selves. They could make their organ
ization the wholesomest, healthiest
thing in the labor movement. There
is no organization so dead that they
could not bring it to life and send
it on the way toward the fulfillment
of its high purpose.
They could drive out of the organ
ization every crook, every grafter,
every double-dealer—if any such ex
ist—and impart strength and courage
to the entire membership. How is
it in your organization? Perhaps the
ranks are not so crowded with men
of this type but that you yourself
might slip into such a place of lead
ership.
