New Grades For Beef
New quality grades for beef have
been set up recently by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Here are the new beef grades and
what they mean:
PRIME—The highest grade of beef,
but available in very limited quanti
ties, usually in late fall and winter.
Domestic consumers rarely see it.
Used most exclusively by hotels, res
taurants, clubs. Produced only from
specially fed steers and heifers which
represent the highest degree of per
fection in breeding.
CHOICE—Highest grade of beef
commonly available to consumers.
Marketed year-round in the Middle
West and the East, and available in
limited quantities in the West. Usual
ly cuts are relatively fat and require
considerable trimming. Produced from
steers and heifers specially nourished
on concentrated feed.
GOOD—This grade meets the needs
of consumers who have small food
budgets and want the best quality
they can get for moderate prices. Sold
in all sections of the country through
out the year. Carries enough fat for
average needs, but not enough to re
quire heavy trimming before serving.
Produced largely from steers and
heifers fed intensively on a concen
trated feed for varying lengths of
time. From this grade down the man
ner of cooking requires attention
Tougher meats can become more ten
der with proper cooking.
COMMERCIAL For consumers
with tight food budgets able to buy
beef only if prices are below average,
Has very little excess fat. Produced
from steers and heifers and relatively
young cows fed largely on grass or
roughage and fed concentrated feed
for only a short time.
UTILITY Lowest Government
graded meat usually available to con
sumers. This grade obviously in
eludes meats which are not tender but
can be made platable by careful and
imaginative cooking. It should he sold
at the lowest price. Produced from
steers and heifers fed largely or en
tirely on grass or roughage and from
cows producing beef deemed suitable
for sale in the retail market.
You find these grade marks over
and over again on the whole length*
of the meat carcas, as U. S. Choice,
U. S. Good, or whatever the grade
may be.
Grades for veal, lamb, mutton, re
main unchanged. They are: IJ.

beef.
Tor
Reconditioning Fat
Fat that has been used for deep
fat frying of potatoes or doughnuts
or some other food isn't necessarily
used-up fat. You can usually re
trieve it and save it for another time.
After whatever it is that has been
swimming in the fat has been sieved
out, the fat should be permitted
cool.
Then a couple of slices of raw po
tato should be dropped into the cold
fat, the fire should be turned on and
the pan permitted to heat up slowly
until the potatoes are brown.
After that strain the fat through
a couple of thicknesses of cheesecloth
into a can. When it has cooled, cover
the can tightly and place it in the
refrigerator until you are ready to use
it the next time.
On The Air
"Consumer Time" on the air every
Saturday morning at 10:-15 a. in., East
ern Standard Time, will devote its en
tire September 7 broadcast to the
school lunch program, which is ad
ministered by the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation of the IJ. S.
Department of Agriculture.
Listen in for information on how
you can start such a program in your
community this fall and bring fresh
nutritious foods to the needy children
in your schools. Radio scouts on the
broadcast will tell the results of their
investigations into the accomplish
ments of the school lunch program
so far, and also of plans being made
to feed some 5,000,000 children during
the next school year.
"Consumer Time," is broadcast over
the red network of the National Broad
casting Company. It is sponsored
jointly by the Consumers' Counsel
Division of the Department of Agri
culture, and the General Federation of
Women's Clubs.

permanently restraining the company
from violating the Fair Labor Stand

ployed several thousand persons in the
44 branches and that many of these
employes have been employed for
workweeks longer than 42 hours with
out being paid time and one-half for
their excess hours, as required by the
Act.
The complaint alleges the company
is engaged in "receiving, handling,
selling and distributing, at wholesale,
fresh fruits, vegetables and dry gro
ceries."
The company has 17 branches in
Minnesota, ten in North Dakota, four

previous campaigns, but above and
beyond all this is the danger confront
ing labor and the Nation. I feel, Mr.
President, that I would not be true to
the working people with whom I am
associated and employed, nor would
I be loyal to my country, were I to
refuse to serve in answer to the call
referred to above."
Tobin asked that his resignation be
effective not later than September 9.
The President accepted it, in a letter
praising him for his services and con
gratulating the Democratic National
Committee on securing his assistance
in the present campaign.
Seal of Death Is On
(Continued from Page One)
the Dutch Government declared that
a state of seige existed in the country.
At the same time 21 Dutch Fifth
Columnists, whose activities were con
sidered extremely dangerous, were ar
rested. Rost Van Tanningen was one
of these 21 traitors. When the in
vasion came, they were taken to
France. Now they have returned to
Holland.
Labor Paper Seized
The Dutch Labor Party had its
own paper, Het Volk, and its own
radio station. They have both been
seized and the printing plant is now
in Nazi hands, turning out Goebbels
inspired hate and lies.
The labor radio station has been
forbidden to mention politics. It is
only allowed to broadcast non-commit
tal recorded programs.
In Holland, as in every country he
has invaded, one of Hitler's ifrst.moves
has been tb destroy the rights and lib
erties of the workers.
Throughout Holland, compulsion,
backed by Nazi bayonets, has taken
the place of free trade unionism.

Both Committees
(Continued from Page One)
liked to go back further than that
to the first conference in which an
agreement was reached, more than
forty years ago. The speaker stated
that he believed he was the only man
living that attended that conference
although he could recognize many of
the names of men at the present meet
ing.
Mr. Duffy said he took a great deal
of pride in the part he played in the
early negotiations of the two organ
izations. He smiled at the belief of
many college professors who think
they are giving the public a new idea
on labor dealings when in reality they
are expounding a theory that has
been in practice in the pottery indus
try for over 40 years.
No one, he said, is doing better work
than these two organizations. He was
of the opinion that the relationship
between the manufacturers and the
employes was the best enjoyed by any
industry.
In Mr. Duffy's opinion, the relation
ship enjoyed is of more importance to
the preservation of Americanism than
the work of the Army, Navy or Con
gress. If everyone would meet the
problems affecting the economic wel
fare of the people in the same manner
the USPA and the NBOP meet them,
he stated, there can be no fear for
our future or that of our children. It
means the preservation of the dem
ocratic institutions we love so much.

ployes and unskilled labor. Railroads
in the Southeast and Southwest, where
wage scales have been lower than in
other parts of the country, will be
affected most by a minimum wage in
crease.
Carriers Plead Poverty
The public hearings of the Railroad
Carrier Industry Committee, upon
which both majority and minority im
ports are based, continued longer
than those of any industry committee
so far appointed and produced the
most extensive record of evidence and
arguments—some 4,COO pages. More
than 50 witnesses appeared.
In substance, the representatives of
the carriers contended they are finan
cially unable to stand any minimum
wage increase, and if.required to do
so would have to dismiss low-paid
workers, thereby increasing unemploy
ment. Upon the contrary, labor union
representatives insisted that the rail
roads are able to pay higher wages to
low-bracket workers, and asked that
the minimum be 40 cents per hour.
Labor Asks 40-Cent Rate
The labor representative said that:
"The evidence before the committee,
properly weighed, fairly supports a
finding that employment in the in
dustry would not have been substan
tially curtailed by the establishment
of a 40-cent minimum. The evi
dence shov/s that the Class I rail
roads at the present time, as a group,
are in a better position financially
and economically than they have been
at any time since the depression
and the prospects for the continua
tion and acceleration of their in
creased revenues and traffic are in
deed bright. Collectively and individ
ually the roads unquestionably have
available funds with which to meet
the small added cost of a 40-cent
minimum, which except in a few cases
would be scarcely felt."

In the garment industry, Fleming
said, labor is such a large part of
the total cost that "cut-throat" com
petition often resulted in wage-cutting.
He declared the Wage-Hour Law had
removed the speculative element in
the cost of labor, and added:
"Competition is going to continue,
but you will that underselling
is not made p-s3ible by wage-cutting.
Business ma\ continue to be good in

The Senator asserted there were
"four answers" to suggestions of
modification of labor standards, list
ing them as:
1—"The original 40-hour week law
in France was a 40-hour week for
factories as well as for their work
ers. There is nothing in our labor
laws to hinder American factories
from operating 24 hours a day, and
an increasing number of our factories
are, in fact, operating on three shifts."
2—"Our factories are not hindered
by law from a longer work week if
they pay time and a half for over
time.
3—"We must find and give work to
unemployed millions before we begin
to work present employes overtime.
Five million workers are registered in
the United States employment offices
for all types of jobs, including skilled
labor needed for national defense.
Ordnance Chief Cited
4—"The final answer is that ex
perience here and in Great Britain
proves conclusively that long hours of
labor do not necessarily result in in
creased production of goods. During
the last war, the chief of ordnance of
the United States Army made this
statement: 'Industrial history proves
that fair working conditions and a
proper wage scale are essential to
high production.'
Senator Wagner branded "insecur
ity and social maladjustment" as
"enemies within our gates," and added
that "we can no more afford to adopt
a half-hearted policy of appeasement
toward them than toward a potential
invading foe."

"The co-operation of labor unions,

phases of this program has been most
significant," said Administrator Mc
Nutt.
In local communities more than
1,300 advisory committees consisting
of representatives of labor and indus
try are working with the educational
authorities in making local surveys
of the supply of labor in relation to
the needs of industry in their re
spective communities. These commit

enact further social, economic and in

guard American institutions.
"Thus we will likewise protect the
American workers from an alien and
ruinous competition and avoid the de
struction of standards of work and of
working conditions through the threat
ened ruthless competition of repressed,
regulated and slave labor from
abroad," he added.
While danger from fifth column
activities should be recognized, said
Woll, the danger of possible foreign
invasion should not bind this nation
to the possibility that there are some
who would use the present situation
to destroy the free trade unions.
President Volz urged support of the
national defense program. He favored
conscription of industry and wealth
if necessary, but as far as possible
suggested that compulsory military
service be avoided or reduced to a
minimum "except in event of invasion
or threatened invasion of America."
Job, Pay Gains Continue
In Big New York Factories
Albany, N. Y. (ILNS).—Gains of
O.t! per cent in both employment and
payrolls were reported by New York
State factories from June to July. In
dustrial Commissioner Frieda S. Miller
said that July marks the second con
secutive month that contra-seasonal
gains have been registered. Records
of the State Department of Labor,
going back to June, 1914, indicate
that the average June to July changes
are losses of 1.0 per cent in forces
and of 1.2 per cent in payrolls. The
usual depressing influence of vacations
and of the between-seasons doldrums
at women's clothing concerns was ob
literated this July by continued gains
at metals and machinery firms, im
provement at textile mills, and the
seasonal gains at canning and preserv

and Co., which he declined. His chief
interest was still in the welfare and
improved conditions of Labor.
He then organized the Labor De
partment of the national Presbyterian
Church, the first of its kind to be es
tablished by any Church in this
country, and which he directed for ten
years. Among the various enterprises
he set up was the Labor Temple in
lower New York, which served as a
forum to discuss .Labor's problems.
This Institution became internationally
famous, and is still in operation. He
has organized and addressed some of
the largest meetings of workingmen
ever conducted in this country, his
audiences frequently numbering from
15,000 to 20,000 men.
He made intensive studies of hun
dreds of cities to find out about liv
ing conditions of the workers. He
served as Chairman of Arbitration
Boards in settling industrial disputes,
notably in the newspaper offices in
New York City. He was the Director
of Relief and Emergency Measures
for the Mayor's Committees on Un
employment in New York City during
one of its periods of depressions, and
he has constantly addressed a great
variety of audiences in colleges, busi
ness and advertising conventions, re
ligious assemblies, open forums, Chau
tauquas, women's clubs and other or
ganizations, presenting the problems
of the workers.
In order to have the preachers of
the country become familiar with La
bor's problems, he inaugurated the
plan of sending ministers to meetings
of Central Labor Bodies as fraternal
delegates. This plan was at one time
in operation in over 150 cities. He
was personally accepted for about a
dozen years as a fraternal delegate at
the annual conventions of the A. F.
of L. which he addressed each year,
through which he became acquainted
with hundreds of the outstanding la
bor officials in this country.
Recognized as an authority in
dustrial matters, he fterved as .'cotttt^
sellor for many organizations, aim
helped in the inauguration of con
structive programs for national bodies
and in local communities. In recog
nition of services of this character,
Cumberland University, of which Sec
retary Hull is a graduate and Trustee,
conferred upon him the degree of
"Doctor of Laws" several years ago.
"Who's Who in America" has for
many years given him large space in
its annual publication, and he has
been widely quoted in various re
ports and documents showing the
progress of industrial workers.
This, briefly, is the story of the East
Side boy, who was newsboy, messen
ger, street peddlar, bus-boy, and ma
chinist, before he became an interna
tional figure in helping to set in mo
tion programs and organizations in
order to dignify Labor and to give it
the place in the life of the nation
which it deserved. Samuel Gompers
once said to him that he might have
anything within the gift of Organized
Labor if he cared to express his wish.
But he has preferred to do the job in
his own way. And Organized Labor
has favored him, not by giving him
a job, or any kind of public recog
nition, but by making him one of La
bor's most generally accepted friends
and counsellors through the medium of
the labor press.
This is one of the highest compli
ments that Labor can pay to any man,
but the compliment that Dr. Ste'.zle
values equally is that paid him by a
noted metropolitan newspaper editor
who wrote concerning him: "He has
met and worked with the most fa
mous men of his time, but he never
lost the common touch." He has ad
dressed audiences which included the
greatest men in America, including
Presidents of the United States, sev
eral of whom have called upon him
for counsel and advice, but he is hap
piest when he meets and talks with
some of the shopmates who served
their apprenticeship with him fifty
years ago.

Judge—It seems perfectly natural
for a road engineer to be in the mid

knees. I can't see that such actions

prove anything. But this guy was try
