BEER MAKES MILLION JOBS
New York City.—A million persons
owe their jobs to the return of legal
beer, the United Brewers Industrial
Foundation says. In the 8 years since
beer was re-legalized, the brewing in
dustry alone has paid $720,000,000 in
Wages and salaries. A sum consider
ably greater has been paid to em
ployes by the 10,000 beer wholesalers
and 830,000 retailers. A still greater
sum has been paid to the additional
hundreds of thousands who have been
added to the payrolls in more than
100 industries which provide equip
ment, supplies and services for the
brewing industry.

Keeping Ahead of the Timet "fr
By MARY MOORE
DO YOU KNOW
That the real purpose of the Gen
eral Motors Parade of Progress which
has been a year being built was to
prove to Americans that research wiz
ards of American Industry can do
anything done anywhere else in the
world. And when it comes to your
town you'll see Aladdins all over the
lot, but they won't even have to rub
a magic lamp to spread before your
eyes such wonders as a pink sweater
and a green hat both made of skim
med milk! Unbreakable glass formed
of gasses from coal, air and water
rubber gloves that haven't a speck
of real rubber in them but are fabri
cated from petroleum, natural gas and
air all of these shown in a tent with
out a single tent-pole that seats 1500
persons, is 150 feet long, 80 feet wide
and 26 feet high. These are only a
handful of the marvels unfolded in the
exhibit.
A pedestrian-protecting device in
the form of a white window shade at
tachment installed on a roller in a
car, and reading "Go Ahead" lets the
pedestrian know that he is seen and
gives him the right of way. It has
been invented by a Miami Woman and
operates by the simple wrist move
ment required to pull down a shade.
It has received approval of the Nati
onal Safety Council.
GLAMOUR
Piquant Lily Pons of the Metropol
itan says the first requisite of style
is to be fashionable about the head,
keeping down the gadgetry of dresses.
She believes that there is no timing
of really fine clothes and that they
should afford a lasting luxury for
years, stating that she wears some of
hers for five years. She loves the
Hindu turbans of flaming colors and
drapes them herself. Her favorite col
or is blue—from dazzling electric to
the most powder-white tints. Miss
Pons has a well-known collection of
rare snuffboxes, and she possesses an
inkwell made from the wood of the
ship commanded by Lord Nelson at
the battle of Trafalgar lined in solid
gold. Her city house is an 18th cen
tury abode with every thing very
French and formal, pale tapestry rugs
and pearwood chairs. Outside of her
work at the opera she says she loves
nothing so much as the joy of living
with nice things, but modern things
disturb her. There is something opu
lent about her rich simplcity like the
memory of that last tone of her voice.
Wear sunshine yellow from head to
foot for your spring costume. Frost
it with white or wear daring touches
of aqua or Rendezvous (clear orange
red). Yellow is a blond's color it's
a brunette's color, and it's also the
perfect spring color.
WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
Reports from many points indicate
that even now women are being em
ployed to replace men in various in
dustrial occupations having to do with
war production.
If World Wur 1 experience means
anything, this trend can be expected
to continue to spread.
IN FACT—EVERYTHING TO COMPLETE YOUR HOME
CROOK'S
"the Best Place to Buy After All
Though the United States is not
now in an actual state of shooting
war, it must be remembered that the
mobilization of men proceeds just as
it would if a state of actual war ex
isted. And the expansion of industry
likewise proceeds as if a state of
full-fledged war existed. Thus, with
mobilization of men in the armed
forces and full-speed expansion of in
dustry, shortages of workers have ap
peared and will continue to appear. It
is clear that employment of women
must increase. Reports show that this
is exactly what is taking place.
Perhaps it is fortunate that for the
past five years WPA has trained
thousands of women in work habits
that fit them for defense production,
even though they have not yet been
trained for specific defense jobs.
However, in one national defense
project, at Newton, Mass., all the
trainees were women. They proved
particularly adept at such work as the
manufacture of time bomb mechan
isms and other precision operations,
having a hand and finger dexterity
making for speech and accuracy in
such operations. Look for increased
demand for women workers in defense
jobs.
New slips are on the market de
signed for wear under your spring
suit. They come in two tones, white
bodice with faggoted trim on navy
or black skirt. They are smoothly
tailored to give the necessary sevelte
suit line and are said to wash beau
tifully.
Long sleeves are emerging for both
day and evening, for blouses, slack
jackets and dresses.
The new patriotic corsages are
made of red carnations, blue corn
flowers and white freesia. Nice to
wear with a military looking cape or
suit. Twin corsages were worn for
Faster. One for the pompadour and
an exact duplicate to pin on your
bag.
For BETTER HOMEMAKING
With the spring sunshine filtering
through your windows the designers
have created a wide array of new
lace curtains. For l!th century rooms
they suggest very fine weaves, with
elaborate borders atid elegant trans
parency. Brussels types are among
them, in all-over designs. For the
Regency type room a striped pattern
is much more in keeping.
To create the effect of sunshine,
when there is no sunshine, use a yel
low glass curtain. Nothing is more
cheerful in a North room, whether it
be cotton gauze or silk ninnon, as long
as it is yellow.
PANTRY PALAVER
Chef's Hints: Scoop out centers of
large boiled onions, place in shallow
baking dish and fill with baked beans
topped with catsup, or fill onions with
buttered corn.
Push small slices of white bread
(crusts removed) into muffin tins and
toast. Fill with scrambled egges or
any creamed mixture.
Crisp French rolls with tops cut off
and crumbs removed, toasted also
make excellent holders for creamed
salmon or poached eggs in chees
sauce.
A handful of marshmallows, cut in
quarters added to prepared ehocolate

THE POfTERS HERALD
Court Ends Three
Anti-Trust Suits
Justice Department's Efforts
To Prosecute Labor
Again Hit
Washington, D. C.—The Supreme
Court upheld lower court rulings in
three cases constituting a further set
back for the Justice Department in
its efforts to prosecute labor unions
for alleged violations of the Sherman
Anti-Trust Act.
The labor cases involved prosecu
tions against A. F. L. organizations
in the building trades. The Building
and Construction Trades Council of
New Orleans, composed of 21 locals
and the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners in Chicago were
accussed of conspiracies under the
Sherman Act. The International Hod
Carriers Building and Common La
borers District Council of Chicago
and vicinity and a local of the In
ternationol Union of Operating Engi
neers were accussed of unlawful acts
in efforts to combat the mixing of
cement in trucks during its transpor
tation.
The Supreme Court in upholding
lower courts' dismissals of the indict
ments ,delivered no written opinions
but cited the 5-- decision of Feb. 3
in a similar case involving the AFL
Carpenters unions at the Anheuser
Busch brewery in St. Louis.
The majority opinion in that case
by Justice Frankfurter, said that so
long as a union acts in its self-inter
est and does not combine with non
labor groups it cannot be prosecuted
under the Federal anti-trust laws.
Court Holds Wholesalers
Subject To Pay-Hour Pact
Washington, D. C.—Federal Judge
Robert L. Russell of the North Dis
trict of Georgia lias issued a ruling
that wholesale distribution of goods
which have crossed a state line is an
operation covered by the Fair Labor
Standards Act, though the goods do
not hereafter leave the state in which
the distributor is located. Judge
Russell handed down the ruling in
a case brought by the Government
against Alterman Bros., an Atlanta
wholesale grocery concern, charging
the firm with violating the act. The
ruling enjoined, the firm from fur
ther violations.
The Wage and Hour Division esti
mated that more than 1,500,000 work
ers are employed in the wholesale
trade and that nearly 80,COO of them
are receiving less than 30 cents an
hour, the statutory minimum under
the act.
Altmeyer Recommends
Wider Social Security
New York, N. Y.—Inclusion of
many more persons in the protection
of the Social Security Act was recom
mended by Arthur J. Altmeyer, chair
man of the Social Security Board, in
an address at the fourteenth annua!
national conference of the American
Association for Social Security, at the
Hotel Pennsylvania here.
"It is vitally necessary that we
make our unemployment insurance
system a safer, sounder, simpler and
more adequate system to meet the
problems which lie ahead of us," he
said.
Mr. Altmeyer also proposed changes
in the old-age and survivor insur
anee system to meet present enter
gency conditions.
Add a half cup of shredded coconut

strawberries which are plentiful now?
Here's how:
Soak a tablespoon of granulated
gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water for five
minutes. Beat 4 egg yolks slightly,
add '.a cup sugar Vats, salt and 1 tbl

has been added 1/4 cup of sugar. Pour
mixture into pie shell and chill. Serve

LABOR NEWS
FROM BRITAIN
ORGANIZE WORKERS OF
INVADED COUNTRIES
ANTICIPATE
RECONSTRUCTION
WOMEN WORKERS
SAFEGUARDED
Final shape has been given to the
scheme of Trade Union organization
among refugee workpeople sponsored
by the British Trades Unions.
It is one that guarantees the restor
ation of Trade Unionism in the occu
pied countries of Europe as soon as
they have been cleared of the Nazi
invaders. At the same time, the
scheme provides effective Trade Union
protection to the large number of
continental workers who are being
taken into British industry. Among
them, national groups have already
been formed.
Each group is associated with the
International Federation of Trade
Unions. And steps are now being
taken to arrange for the admission of
workpeople in each group to mem
bership of the appropriate British
Union when they find employment.
The basis of the scheme is clearly
illustrated in the constitution drawn
up for the Belgian trade unionists.
This constitution establishes a Trade
Union Centre in Britain for all Bel
giun workers regardless of creed or
politics. The head office of the Bel
gian Centre is in London and cannot
be removed elsewhere without the
consent of the International Federa
tion and the British T. U. C.
The Centre's main task is to or
ganize all Belgians employed in
British agriculture, industry, trade or
transport. Within the Centre there
are to be Trade branches formed as
circumstances may necessitate. Trade
branches already formed will affili
ate as such to the Centre with all
their membership.
It is stipulated in the constitution
that every Belgian worker belonging
to the Centre must become a mem
ber of the British Union of his (or
her) trade. Conversely, every Bel
gian who enters a British Union must
join the Centre.
Provision is made for the payment
of dues, both to the Centre and to
the British Union. Membership of
a British Union will entitle the Bel
gian worker to its "trade benefits" and
to the standard wages and conditions
provided by its collective agreements.
General protection of the social inter
ests of the Belgian workers as immi
grants in Britain will be undertaken
by the Centre. It will also help un
employed Belgians to get work, and
will conduct propaganda on behalf of
Free Trade Unionism.
Much greater importance than ap
pears on the surface lies in this
scheme of refugee organization. It is in
fact a workmanlike restoration of the
international Trade Union movement
which the Nazis think they have de
stroyed. Clearly stated in the Ar
ticles of the constitution is the pledge
which ensures this.
It is laid down that at the end of
the war, it will be the duty of the
Belgian Trade union Centre to return
to Belgium as soon as conditions per
mit. It will go back with all its mem
bers, its assets, administrative staff
and equipment, ready to carry on in
peace-time reconstruction. If anything
is found to have survived in occupied
territory of the original Trade Union
machinery it will be joined on to the
new Centre.
Those who have planned the scheme
know that there are in all the occu
pied countries loyal and courageous
trade unionists who are fighting to
preserve the working class movement.
Contacts are being established with
them.
They will be enabled to rejoin the
Belgian National Centre when the
time comes for the exiles to return
Eventually, trade unionists in all the
occupied countries will have a rebirth
of freedom. Through the instrumen
tality of the British Unions, sooner
than any other economic, cultural or
political institution, Free Trade Union
ism will resume its activities in all
the ravaged lands.
The tremendous draft of women
workers into Britain's war industry
is taking place under carefully guard
ed conditions. Thousands of women
and girls who have never previously
worked in any kind of wage occupa
tion are responding to the call of nati
onal service. Hundreds of firms that
have never employed women before
are doing so now. And the Ministries
responsible for the great "drive" are
taking the most stringent precautions
to see that the conditions of employ
ment for this new industrial army are
all that they should be.
Employers have just received from
the Ministry of Labor a memorandum
setting forth the Government's view
of their responsibilities.
One requirement laid down is that
where any substantial number of
women or girls is employed, a Woman
Personnel Officer is to be at once ap
pointed. The appointee must have
knowledge of the industry or trade
and of the firm's methods and pro
cesses—and of the Trade Union agree
ments, customs and standards in the
establishments.
Every Woman Personnel Officer
will be responsible for interviewing,
selecting and hiring the woman work
ers. It will be their duty to see that
the appropriate authorities provide
billets and adequate canteen, rest
room, and other welfare facilities

Moreover, the Woman Officer will
have the responsibility of deciding the
discharge or dismissal of women work
ers. That is not to be left to pro
duction managements or the firm's su
pervisors.
If a firm or a particular department
of a firm wishes to discharge a woman
or girl, the Woman Personnel Officer
must be informed of the circumstances
and the reasons. It will be the Woman
Officer's duty then to decide whether
to transfer the woman concerned to
another department or to issue a Dis
charge Note.
The Woman Officers are being in
structed to enter into close co-oper
ation with the Trade Union officials
and shop stewards. They are also re
quired to keep in the closest possible
contact with the individual women
workers, to find by personal and
friendly relations with them how they
are getting on in the first few months,
what grievances and difficulties they
have experienced, and how their per
sonal worries can be lessened or re
moved by the Woman Officer's help
and counsel.
Much depends upon the Woman
Officer. Parents whose daughters are
now being registered, at the age of
20 and 21, are naturally anxious
about their welfare. No parent likes
to think of a girl leaving a sheltered
and comfortable home to work at
some unaccustomed occupation in a
strange district. These arrangements
offer the assurance that care will be
taken of them and every possible safe
guard is provided.
Longer Basic Work Week
Is Opposed By Fleming
Washington, D. C.—Gen. Philip B.
Fleming, Wage-Hour Administrator,
denied that requirements of the Fair
labor Standards Act are impeding
production of defense material and de
clared he saw no reason for extending
,the basic 40-hour work week.
He pointed out that studies recently
made at his request by the Bureau
of I^abor Statistics show that payment
of overtime wages "is more than coun
terbalanced by the increased utiliza
tion of plant facilities and the absorp
tion of fixed overhead expenses in a
larger volume of production."

Fords Porcelain
Running In High
Local Union No. 96 Agrees
With O. C. 122 On Smear
Campaign
Perth Amboy, N. J.—Although
Friday the 11th was Good Friday,
President Louis Turkus insisted that
a regular meeting should not be miss
ed and therefore a short session was
held.
Work at the Fords Porcelain Works
is running in high gear and with the
Spring air the boys at the plant are
looking forward to the summer and
vacation time. They say they need
a rest. The firm has granted a va
cation with pay to us and already
the boys are getting anxious to know
when they can expect to start.
It was reported at this meeting
that something on this would be given
out at our next regular meeting, April
25. The superintendent, Mr. Henry
Hansen, presented a check to Paul
Jankovich for $100.00. Brother Paul
is scheduled to leave for the U. S.
Army shortly. This gesture on the
part of Mr. Irving Hansen, president
of the firm surely deserves noteworthy
praise and Paul and the members of
Local No. i6 are grateful to him.
Commenting on Local 122's O. C.'s
article regarding the smear campaign
against labor, I can state this same
matter was discussed at the meeting
of Perth Amboy's Central Labor Body,
April 3. So it can be readily under
stood that the minds of labor, al
though separated by many miles, run
in the same channel. We still have
fairness and the will to be free men
uppermost in our minds. 1 do believe
that the ones who did the smearing
in France prior to the German victory
are the very ones who blamed labor
for expecting the right to get a fair
deal when France was making their
defense preparations. And don't for
get, in the last World War anyone
who talked a little loud for the work
ingman was called a Bolshevik.
Brother Frank Mears was off for
two weeks, one week to visit his home
in Wachapreague, Va., as his mother
was very ill, and one week he was
home nursing the grippe. Brother F.
Shurig has been off a few days due
to a sore back.—O. C. 96.
"Sam, your brother's hair isn't any
thing like yours. It's fiery red, and
yours is black. That seems peculiar,
doesn't it?"
"No—you see, my brother was born
after mv mother had her hair dyed."
