LEARNNING TO MEET
DISAPPOINTMENTS
VIOLA E. HOLLEY
"What can anyone do with a child
who insists upon pouting when she
cannot have her own way? asked a
mother.
"My children never pout," was the
reply. "They slam doors and bang
their toys about instead."
There are other children who re
spond still differently, but in each
case where we find a child showing
undesirable behavior because he can
not have his own way, it probably in
dicates that he needs help in learn
ing how to meet disappointments.
If we wish to help him, we must try
first of all to get his point of view as
nearly as we can. This will relieve
us of any impatience and annoyance
that we may feel over the situation,
and we shall then be able to deal with
the problem more wisely than we oth
erwise could.
It is natural for a child to want to
have his own way, to follow out his
own ideas and desires. To be sure,
we cannot allow him to satisfy his
every whim, but we should remember
that the child who is continually
thwarted will find life unnecessarily
hard. Under such conditions he is
not likely to develop into the self
reliant, joyous, resourceful child we
want him to be.
We must give him an opportunity
for the unfoldment of his powers
through work and play suitable for
his age. To provide such an environ
ment requires considerable under
standing on the part of the parent
and is something for which we need
continually to strive. We may be
sure that the more adequately we do
provide for the child as he grows, the
fewere occasions there will be for
pouting, temper tantrums and other
undesirable forms of behavior, i
There will be times, though, when
it is necessary to say "no," when it
would not be best for him, or those
about him, to let him have his own
way. These are the occasions which
we should use to help him learn how
to meet disappointments.
One mother, whose little boy had
fallen into the habit of displaying ill
temper when he could not have what
he wanted, found it a help to keep
three points in mind as she worked
for good habits.
She asked herself first of all, "Just
how do I want him to behave when I
have to say 'no'?" She was surprised
that she could not at once answer this
question. It seemed that she was so
annoyed and troubled over his disa
greeable behavior that she could not
think clearly about the matter. She
saw that under these conditions it was
unreasonable to expect the child, who
was only eighteen months old, to
know how to behave. She would be
obliged to have it clear first in her
own mind before she could teach him
to do bettor.
After thinking it over, she decided
that she wanted him to learn to be
cheerful even in the face of disap
pointment and to be willing to turn
to something else when he was denied
what he wanted.
The next step was to make clear to
him what she expected. On the first
occasion that developed, she led him
to sing with her, explaining to him
that he was a happy child and that a
happy child likes to sing. Always,
after this, when she said "no," to his
requests, she offered a substitute, at
the same time setting him an example
of smiling good humor.
Lastly, she kept in mind that it re
quires patient and persistent practice
to build up a new habit. She did not
get discouraged because it took sev
eral weeks of such practice before he
learned that he could be happy even
when he could not have his own way.
For these were weeks that showed
constant progress in freeing him from
ill-temper, and she knew they were
laying the foundation for a happy
childhood.
BRITISH WORKERS'
SPORTS GO ON
London.—Despite the war, the Brit
ish Workers' Sports Association has
succeeded in maintaining its organiza
tion and has carried on certain activi
ties. The intensified air attacks on
Britain, and the calling up of many
age groups for military service, have
increased the association's difficul
ties. It is the firm resolve of the
executive committee, however, to
carry on whatever obstacles may lie
ahead.
"SOUNDS" ADVERTISING
IN SKY BANNED
St. Paul, Minn.—When officials of
Albert Lea, Minn., found a local ordi
nance ineffective in prohibiting
"sound" advertising by airplane, they
sought aid of the state legislature. In
consequence, it is now a misdemeanor
by state statute to engage in adver
tising through loudspeakers attached
to cruising planes. The statute, based
on evidence from the local officials
that plane advertising by sound ere
ated a noise nuisance and a traffic
hazard, was approved by the 1941 leg
islature.
of UC Must Pay
Benefits To Miners
Renewal of Injunction Re
fused By Ohio Supreme
Court
Columbus, O., June 27—The way
was cleared today for the issuance
by the Ohio Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation of checks totaling
$269,811.54 to 6,145 Ohio coal miners
for the six weeks they were unem
ployed during a controversy with
their employers early in 1939.
This was made possible today at
Columbus when the Ohio Supreme
Court refused to renew a temporary
injunction restraining the Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation from
paying the benefits. The court an
nounced its refusal after it heard
lengthy arguments oh the suit of 22
Ohio coal operators for the injunction,
which expired at noon.
The case was carried to the Ohio
Supreme Court June 21 after the
Second District Court of Appeals had
dismissed a temporary injunction
granted in the spring of 1940 to 23
coal operators preventing H. C. At
kinson, Administrator of the Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation, from
issuing checks to the miners.
Administrator Atkinson said the
Bureau immediately started writing
checks, and that they will be mailed
as they are completed. Miner-claim
ants should receive their benefit pay
ments within the next few days, he
added.
The miners are being compensated
for a period of unemployment from
April 1 to May 15, 1939, during ne
gotiations with the operators for
new work agreement.
At the time the miners filed their
claims for benefit payments, the Bu
reau ruled that the cessation of labor
was a "strike." Strikers are not eli
gible for unemployment compensation
benefits. However, this determination
was appealed to the Bureau of Un
employment Compensation Board of
Review by the miners, and the ruling
was reversed.
The Lorain Coal and Rock Co. and
22 other coal operators involved, then
appealed the ruling of the Board of
Review 'to their respective common
pleas courts. Later, the 23 operators
joined the filing of a petition for an
injunction in the Franklin County
Common Please Court. They obtain
ed a temporary restraining order,
March 24, 1940, preventing the BUC
from making any payments pending
determination of the separate ap
peals.
The appeal of one of the 23 opera
tors, the U. S. Coal Co., was heard
in the Cuyahoga County Common
Pleas Court and decided in favor of
the miners. The court ruled there
was no strike and upheld the BUC
Board of Review. This decision was
sustained by the Fifth District Court
of Appeals. The Ohio Supreme Court
refused to review the case, making
possible the payment of $21,000 in un
employment benefits to 600 U. S
Coal Co. employes, March 27, 1941.
When, in the fall of 1940, the
Franklin County Common Please
Court dissolved the temporary injunc
tion issued to the coal operators in
the joint case, the operators carried
the matter t" the Second District
Court of Appeals. A new temporary
injunction was obtained restraining
fhe
payments by the BUC.
In dismissing this injunction, the
Second District Court of Appeals
stated in a two-to-one decision that
the issues involved were the same as
in the U. S. Coal Co. case.
Miner-claimants in 17 different
areas of Ohio will receive benefit
checks. These areas, the number
get benefit checks and the amount.*
to be distributed follow:
Bridgeport, 3,088, $132,865.62
Cambridge, 221, $5937.33 Canton, 17

715.35 Stuebenville, 1,732, $84,023.13
Zanesville, 4, $77.34 and interstate
claimants, 12, $423.06.
Coal operators involved are, the
Lorain Coal and Dock Co., the Ohio
and Pennsylvania Coal Co., the New
York Coal Co., Warner Fuel and Sup
Ply Co., George M. Jones Co., Flor
ence Coal Co., the Mid vale Coal Co.
the Massillon Tuscarawas Coal Co.

Thomas Coal Co., the Wheeling Town
sh'p Coal Mining Co., the Hocking
Valley Coal Co., Ray Rickes, D.
A. Fickes Coal Co., Leonard E. Bill
man, D. B. A. Billman Coal Co.
Between $250,000 and $300,000 in
unemployment benefit payments to
approximately 7,000 Ohio miners idle
during the mine shutdown of April 1
to 28 1941, still are tied up because
of appeals by the operators. Admin
istrator Atkinson, basing his decision
on the ruling in the LT. S. Coal Co
case, has authorized payment of the
benefits, but action was held up when
the operators appealed to the BUC
Board of Review. Hearings on these
appeals are now pending.

Teamsters Fight
Minneapolis Reds
Drive Opens To Replace
Men Chartered By
C. I. O.
Minneapolis, Minn.—The interna
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters, hav
ing purged their local ranks of Trots
kyite Communists, formed a power
ful front to maintain their organiza
tion here after the CIO chartered the
expelled radicals.
Headquarters of Local 544 were
taken over by J. M. Casey, Interna
tional Representative of the Team
sters, after a court order forced the
Communists to vacate the premises
and produce the books and funds of
the local union.
From eleven surrounding States,
organizers and business agents of
Teamsters unions converged on Min
neapolis to assist the loyal member
ship in their fight to reestablish here
a .sound, American trade union.
It immediately became apparent
that the drive of the Dunn brothers
and other radical leaders to swing
the members of the Teamsters Union
into the CIO was doomed to failure.
Telegrams and letters from all over
the nation poured in on President
Daniel J. Tobin commending him for
his courageous stand against the
Communist and pledging him support.
President Roosevelt himself denounc
ed the CIO for engaging in raiding
practices at this time when national
defense is the paramount considera
tion. Newspaper editorials and com
mentators also united in condemning
the CIO action.

AFL lineup to defeat the raid are

Eastern Bowlers Finally Are
Able To Turn Trick After
Years of Training
The reign of all great kings must
some time come to an end. The
Yanks lost out last year Notre Dame,
Pitt, Michigan, Minnesota and South

head of the gridiron parade, and thus
did the West, perhaps a mite over
confident after years of uninterrupt
ed success, fall by some 168 pins to
a swaggering Eastern delegation of
bowlers in Atlantic City last Thurs
day evening in the annual convention
match.
Trying to place their collective
finger on the trouble for their first
failure in a long series, the West has
decided that the blame should be
shouldered by Frank Hull who set
them up to "Cokes" early in the con
test. The boys from the Trenton
district, not invited to imbibe, kept
their steady pace while their oppo
nents floundered.

Straight From
Washington
By STEPHEN M. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio
Washington.—Great Britain with an
annual income of less than half of the
income of the Unitr-d States has a na
tional debt approaching two hundred
billion dollars. This nation with an
annual income of ninety billion dollars
can certainly stand a national debt of
ninety billion dollars or more. Talk
of national bankruptcy is bosh. Nev
ertheless, Congress should cut non
defense expenditures to the bone and
then scrape the bone.
Selective Service
We must keep faith with the men
in our armed forces. There is a
movement to require Selectees and
National Guardsmen now in camp to
remain for a period longer than a
year. There was at least an implied
obligation on the part of the Govern
ment to keep these young men in
camp for a period of one year only.
It is unthinkable lhat a Government
dependant upon he faith of its citi
zens, would consider breaking faith
with any group of its citizens. As
matters now stand the young men se
lected for service and their families
have been the only ones so far who
have made any sacrifices in this emer
gency.
Independent Air Force
Should not a Department of Nation
al Defense be created with the Secre
tary of National Defense in the cabi
net? Then provide undersecretaries
of Aviation, Army and Navy. Con
gress is about to take the initiative
and scrap our antiquated system of
subordinating aviation. Many Con
gressmen believe that there should be
an independent air force. Air su
premacy will mean much for the se
curity of the Americas. Of course,
the Army and Navy should retain air
planes as an arm of these services,
but a flying general with a flying
staff should be in command of a great
striking air force that is now just a
skeleton but will presently be Amer
ica's first line of defense.
Profits vs. Losses
Sears, Roebuck and Company re
ported profits of more than 36 mil
lion dollars in 1940. Why? Because
they had a big business and had sense
enough to fix their selling prices on
a profit basis.
The farmers of the United States
lost billions in 1940. Why? because,
although they had a big busines
Congress did not have sense enough,
or something, to fix profit prices for
them on home-consumed crops.
The irony of it is that farmers, wh
were losing money, were the biggest
customers of Sears, Roebuck & Co
who were making big money from the
farmers.
Diapers
Diaper Service union drivers went
on a strike recently. Fortunately
this strike was settled in a few days.
Would you call this a strike against
"national defense" or a matter involv
ing "personal defense"?
L. U. NO. 89 ELECTS
OFFICERS FOR TERM
Richmond, Calif.—The members of
Local Union No. 89 elected the fol

secretary A. J. Neilson, defense col
lector Pete Buzdon, guard Edward
Sulpizio, inspector H. Waddingham,
trustee.
These newly elected officers will be
installed at the next regular meeting
July 11. It would be very beneficial
to the members if they would attend

Gulf Agreement
Brings Increases
Ass't. President Davis Does
Good Job Negotiating
Wage Contract
New Orleans, La.—Wage levels in
Gulf Coast shipyards will be boosted
to an all-time high, under an agree
ment negotiated here at a conference
of representatives of labor, shipbuild
ers and the Federal government.
A major role in the successful bar
gaining was taken by Assistant Pres
ident Jasper N*. Davis of the Broth
erhood of Boilermakers, who headed
the labor sub-committee which
ried on the negotiations.
"Davis did an excellent job, and
the agreement as finally worked out
is something labor can be proud of,:
declared Joseph S. McDonagh, secre
tary-treasurer of the A. F. of L.
Metal Trades Department, who also
played a leading part in the confer
ences.
Minimum rates for mechanics were
raised to .$1.07 an hour, as against
former scales ranging between 88 and
97 cents. Common labor was increas
ed to a minimum of 54 cents an
hour, from former levels as low as
33 cents. Double rates for overtime
were maintained on ship repaif work,
with exceptions in certain cases of
large overhauling jobs.
Owners of the 25 yards in the Gulf
area at first bitterly resisted the new
scales, complaining that they would
"play hob with our Southern stand
ards," but they finally yielded.
The new wages are expected to in
crease the earnings of the Gulf ship
yard workers by $16,000,000 a year,
McDonagh declared.

The Editorial
Staff
Washington, D. C.—An election "as
soon as possible within 30 days"
among employes in the editorial and
news departments of The New York
Times was ordered by the National
Labor Relations Board.
Employes will determine in the bal
loting whether they wish to be repre
sented by the American Newspaper
Writers Association, Federal Local
22,397 of the A. F. L., or by the
Newspaper Guild of New York, a CIO
affiliate, or by neither.
The election was ordered on the ba
sis of the Guild's contention that an
appropriate unit should consist of all
employes, excluding only executives,
their confidential secretaries and em
ployes such as telegraph operators,
who are already within the jurisdic
tion of existing craft unions. The
board split two to one on the unit
question.
The American Newspaper Writers
Association contended that the ap
propriate unit of employes for voting
consisted of "a quasi-professional or
craft group,.editors, reporters, writ
ers and the like, excluding clerks, ste
nographers and secretaries office
boys, librarians and the like."
A majority of the board, consisting
of Chairman H. A. Millis and Edwin
S. Smith, rejected the association's
proposal. Drv W. M. Leiserson dis
sented.
Officers of the American Newspa
per Writers Association predicted
sweeping victory for the A. F. L. unit
in the election despite the broadening
of the unit. They said that the em
ployes of the New York Times would
overwhelmingly reject the discredited

Buffalo, N. Y.—The Switchmen's
Union of North America closed its
international convention heer after
electing officers for the next four

tion denouncing reactionary attempts
to crush labor behind the cloak of
defense.
President Thomas C. Cashen, who
was unanimously reelected, hailed the
convention as "one of the most suc
cessful we have ever held."
"It was remarkable in more ways
than one," he said. "It was the most
peaceful and harmonious I ever at
tended. As a result, we did a great
er amount of constructive work in a
shorter time than ever before—in
fact, we packed in 10 days of busi
ness in half that time."

Bethlehem Agrees
To Closed Shop
West Coast Ship Builders
Strike Is Nearing
Its End
San rancisco, Cal.—For the first
time In its history the Bethlehem
Steel Company at its local shipyards
has agreed to sign a union contract
including the closed shop.
The company acted upon recom
mendation of the National Defense
Mediation Board which included the
closed shop in its formula for settling
the dispute between Bethlehem and
the Bay Cities Metal Trades Coun
cil.
Thus, the terms of the Pacific Coast
master agreement for the shipbuild
ing industry apparently are going
into effect at last. This agreement
was entered into in good faith by the
metal trades unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
and the great majority of shipbuild
ing firms on the West Coast, but the
Bethlehem Company refused to sign it
at first because of the closed shop
provision.
The company's attitude provoked a
strike which halted ship construction.
All of the metal trades unions, except
one machinists local, were prevailed
upon to go back to work on the
pledge of the National Defense Me
diation Board to bring about a fair
settlement.
Now that the Bethlehem Company
has agreed to sign the master agree
ment, it appeared likely that the ma
chinists may also come to terms.
In making its recommendation for
the closed shop, the defense media
tion board explained:
"The Pacific Coast master agree
ment was the result of mature, col
lective bargaining on an industry
wide basis. The weight of the com
pany's opposition to a closed shop
was overborne, in the opinion of the
board, by the fact that the master
agreement was arrived at by indus
try-wide collective bargaining and ac
cepted and put into effect throughout
the entire industry, with the excep
tion of the Bethlehem plant.
"Under these special circumstances,
the board recommends that the mas
ter agreement be accepted and signed
by the Bethlehem Steel Company."

New York, N. Y.—Samuel Rein lib,
President of the International Ladies'

ganization of the pocketbook frame
manufacturing company of Blacher
Brothers of Providence, Rhode Is
land.
Mr. Reinlib said the firm, employ
ing 525 workers, signed a closed shop
contract with the union, after the
Union had succeeded in signing up a
majority of the workers.
The union is proceeding full-steam
ahead in its campaign to organize all
the frame workers in the industry.
President Reinlib reiterated that the
pocketbook workers have taken a
stand against working on frames
manufactured in non-union shops.
