For Women
TIPS—HINTS—HELPS
Keeping Ahead of the Timet
By MARY MOORE
DO YOU KNOW? ....
What happened to the old aluminum
pots and pans you gave up last sum
mer in the name of defense A lot
of women have asked me that one
The Defense Digest of the State of
N. Y. says that "aluminum collected
by housewives during the drive has
been sold or is being sold by the
Treasury Dept. to 28 smelters selected
because their entire production is di
rected by OPM to defense. The alum
inum ingots resulting from the pots
and pans are sold to the Metals Re
serve Co., a subsidiary of the RFC
and then sold under the supervision
of the Aluminum and Megnesium
Branch, OPM.
Twenty per cent of such ingots arc
98 per cent plus and go directly into
planes, 25 per cent is for eastings for
engines, and the remainder is used
for steei mill operations for deoxidiz
ing, a process for which aluminum
must be used and which frees virgin
aluminum for bombers.
In the mass hack-to-work movement
of the unemployed, resulting from the
nationwide all-out defense effort, men
and women are profiting about equal
ly, according to statistics compiled by
the Department of Labor. The pro
portion of jobs filled by women was
particularly high in service industries,
especially household. There was a
marked increase in garment trade
jobs and mill work.
GLAMOIR
Do you get a thrill of pride when
ever you convert something old into
something new and smart? In keep
ing with the feeling of conservation
that is in the air, why not transform
your old sweaters that are no longer
smart or attractive into new sweater
designs
After ripping up your old sweater,
wind the wool into hanks, tieing
loosely in two places. Then wash by
dipping in lukewarm soap suds. Dip
the wool gently up and down in the
warm suds, until it is perfectly clean,
then rinse out in clear lukewarm
water. Dry by laying the hanks out
flat on a covered surface in a warm
room. When completely dry the wool
will be soft, smooth and unwrinkled
as new. Wind into balls and you are
ready to knit a beautiful new pull
over, or cardigan in one of the new
est, smartest styles.
Everybody has gone "mad-cap"
over beanies. And these smirky, gay,
neat little skull caps are not gadgets
that one can plunk on any way or
find anywhere. To look ship-shape
they must be fitted to the N-tli de
gree and they are a mighty fetching
fashion over wind swept curls or the
most sophisticated hair do. You can't
be without one to wear with your
sweater, your fur coat, or your bath
ing suit!
A pair may he low in poker but it's
high fashion in resort clothes. Hus
bands and wives, brothers and sis
ters, beaux and their girls, mammas
and their adored off-spring are pair
ing their styles and even pairing the
fabrics they are made of. It's smart
to dress like twins this year. So get
your hubby's tailor to turn you out a
sport coat or pair of slacks exactly
like the one worn by the head of the
house and watch the admiring glances
you'll get.
Knitted dresses are again coming
into popularity after having been ne
glected for the past few seasons. An
effective afternoon dress I saw com
bines knitting with inserts of pleated
taffeta ribbon simply made with but
tons down the waist to the hipline
and the skirt in gathers. For daytime
and evening dresses lace yarn is both
fetching and warm when the wind
blows!
WOMEN
Isn't it about time to call a halt to
selections of the "ten outstanding wo
men", of the ten most famous, or the
ten most useful? This is the silly sea
son for picking lists of ten -ten most
famous women, ten best books, ten
best plays, ten most useless Christ
mas presents and so on.
Conies a "committee of educators"
of Webber College, with a list of ten
"outstanding young American wo
men" for the year. What do we get.
We get a lawyer, a singer, a play
wright—a couple of singers, to be ac
curate about it, and a couple of
writers.
One of the women listed wrote a
book called "Fashion is Spinach". And
this list also is spinach.
It all works out well for Webber
College. Like a great many stunts of
this kind we suggest that maybe it
was all figured out to get the name
of the college in print. From that
standpoint it is a good stunt ami
from no other.
Not a labor woman on the list. Not
a social service worker not an econ
omist—nobody who has contributed
anything to the righting of wrongs
and the progress of the human race.
The list is said to be one of "young"
women but it isn't stated how young
a woman has to be to be classified
as young. Some of the names—not
to be catty—don't sound too young.
The whole thing is just a little bit
silly in this time of tremendously ser
ious things. We could do without a
"Wagnerian soprano" if we could find
in the list instead the name of some
Recalls Business
Conditions In U. S.
During Past Wars
New York—As business is timed to
go 'round the clock with America at
war for 1942, the American Express
in closing its 50th anniversary year
of "Travelers Cheques" founded in
1891, looks in retrospect recalling the
commercial status from the dawning
nineties through the Spanish-Ameri
can and the First World wars. "The
tempo and myths of 'business as
usual" are revealed through the
pages of history and mirror much for
American business today", states
Douglas Malcolm of the company who
highlights the recurring milestones
pertinent for the coming year.
"The year 1898 gave modern Amer
ican business its first operations under
war, recorded by economists as a
year of 'troubled wars. The situa
tion in the Far East involved the
European powers, including China
and Japan. India's insurrection came
simultaneous with the Sudanese des
cent upon Egypt. Into this interna
tional medly came the Spanish-Amer
ican war which was declared April
25, 1898, with Congress appropriat
ing $50,000,000 for national defense
and the War Revenue Law later rais
ing the amount to $225,000,000. A
United States Squadron under Com
modore Dewey destroyed the Spanish
fleet iri Manila bay and took the Phil
ippine islands, with a Spanish loss of
life estimated at less than (500, while
the American Navy had no casualties
and only 7 wounded. The annexation
of Hawaii came July 1, 1898.
"The prosperity of the period was
an expansion era and left no pattern
of business guidance. It was a period
of the greatest railroad building pro
gram in American history supple
mented by the largest crop yield ever
recorded. It was the dawning era of
rural activities developing the rural
free delivery system, with a thousand
new post offices designated in Janu
ary 1899. The expansion of western
farmlands and the organization of
farm bureaus favoring farm electric
ity and rural telephone expansion cre
ated an urban economic cushion dub
bed by economists as 'the farm and
oil prosperity year', which opened the
19th century.
"The declaration of war in 1911
checked the 1913 depression abroad
and created a temporary war pros
perity. America at war is now paral
leling a repeat of history except in
aviation. Coming events are casting
their shadows and business is reflect
ed in the restrictions and checks of
the War Industries Hoard operating
during the last war now answering
a curtain call for World War No. 2.
On June 5, 1917, came the call for
registration and 13,22X,000 men be
tween the ages of 18 and 15 had reg
istered approximately 4,000,000 men
were trained, of which 2,100,000 were
sent overseas, with only 1,000,000
seeing actual service.
"The same pattern extended on a
larger scale is now being formulated
in striking similarities with indus
try's big job of winnng the war. The
World War No. 1 brought a meta
morphosis of industry and saw a full
drama of war needs, requirements and
restrictions. Raw material then, as
now, was the root of the industrial
tree, steel was the epic product, the
forests did their bit with the build
ing material industry as an aid to war
becoming the third largest trade in
terest in 19J8. Fuel saving and light
less days were an accustomed war
program in 1918. Sugar was rationed
in December 1917 and a ban on white
bread opened the New Year. Among
the trends which took root during
the conflict were the new social ten
dencies, new labor demands, with a
distinct sanitation boom characterized
in the second year. The war gave
great impetus to science and inven
tion which Yankee ingenuities started
with the "call to colors" dubbed by
the Patent Office as 'inventors' fury'.

the war stimulated travel. The United

Facing The Facts
With PHILIP PEARL
We hail the spirit of unity whicn
now units the American labor move
ment and is growing stronger every
day.
In this war crisis, a united labor
front at home is essential to effi
ciency, to all-out production and to
ultimate victory.
It is deeply reassuring to the Amer
ican people that organized labor
ready to help America by forgetting
its differences, at least for the dura
tion of the struggle.
While America is at war against
the enemies of freedom and democ
racy, it would be folly for Americans
to continue contending against each
other. This compelling truth was ad
mirably stated by President Green in
his radio address Jan. 4 when he said:
"As long as this war lasts, there
cannot and there will not be any
fundamental differences among Amer
icans. Every single one of us is fight
ing for the same cause. Each and
every one of us is fighting against
the same enemy. Until that enemy is
crushed, Americans will stand shoul
der to shoulder united in a patriotic
spirit that transcends all other con
siderations."
Signs Point to Unity
True, no official, permanent peace
has as yet been established between
the AFL and the CIO. True, no of
ficial, temporary truce has yet been
formally reached.
Hut for all that, the signs are
many and convincing that an in
formal, tacit armistice is in effect.
For instance, we find the CIO in
full accord with the AFL in such vital
matters of legislative policy as oppo
sition to the Smith bill, to other anti
labor measures and to wage-freezing
schemes.
Also we find the AFL and CIO dele
gations at the recent deliberations of
the War Labor Conference Hoard in
full accord on a joint program of war
labor policy which was finally adopted,
even though the industry delegates
may have entertained some mental
reservations.
And now, we find in the newspapers
photographs of President Green and
President Murray of the CIO in
amicable conference with Secretary of
Labor Perkins and photographs of the
two union leaders shaking hands.
Even more significant, we find such
photographs in CIO publications.
We say that is significant because,
we must admit, there has been some
lingering doubt in our minds as to
just what the CIO leadership intended
doing and how I'aiP it could be expect
ed to go toward burying the hatchet.
We entertained no such doubts as
to the AFL policy because it has been
forthright and outspoken. At the very
outset of the war, the special meeting
of AFL officers and union executives
called by President Green came out
with a hearty renewal of overtures
for resumption of AFL-CIO peace ne
gotiations.
We'll Take Half a Loaf
Frankly, when no response to these
overtures was forthcoming, our hopes
of unity sank. Hut the other develop
ments of the past few weeks have re
newed our optimism.
If we can't get the full loaf, we are
ready to take half. If the CIO is shy
about coming right out and saying it
intends to stop its destructive raiding
tactics, we are willing to let its per
formance speak.
We fully understand the elements
of embarrassment in the situation. We
don't want to augment them. We are
not seeking to force the issue if there
is a chance of success by the more
gradual approach.
Rel'ore the outbreak of war, the CIO
was a million miles away from the
AFL. The extent of separation has
now been materially reduced. Each
stej) closer helps. If the CIO does not
want us to see it take these steps, we
will obligingly look the other way.
Hut at the same time, we want to
make it clear that we are and always
have been willing to meet it more than
half way. We are not bashful about
it, but in the interests of unity we
won't try to hurt the other fellow's
feelings.
There are certain hazards in the
situation which we are not overlook
ing, however. Apparently, the war
has helped to solidify the dissident
elements in the CIO. Apparently, the
isolationists, the interventionists and
the Communists now are traveling in
the same path. Hut strange things
happen during wars. We cannot for
get that Stalin and Hitler once were
able to reach an agreement. It is still
within the realm of possibility that
such a thing may happen again. We
need not speculate on what the conse
quences might be, but we will remain
on the alert.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—The
National Defense Mediation Board has
awarded a wage increase of 10 cents
an hour plus four-tenths of a cent per
mile traveled, retroactive to Nov. 10,
to about 50,000 "over the road" truck

Buy Defense Bonds
Washington, D. C.—President Wil
liam Green appealed to all organiza
tions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor and all their con
stituent members to do their bit to
help America win the war by purchas
ing Defense Savings Stamps and De
fense Bonds. His appeal follows:
"Each day brings home to every
worker in America a new realization
of the fact that our country is at war.
This situation has united all classes
of people in our beloved country and
has aroused within their hearts and
minds a firm and determined purpose
to win the war at any cost. We know
this objective must be reached if we
are to preserve our form of govern
ment and enjoy the benefits and bless
ings of democracy, freedom and lib
erty.
"One of the greatest contributions
which the individual can make toward
the winning of the war is through
the purchase of Defense Savings
Stamps and bonds. The Government
has made it possible for all classes
of people, regardless of income, to buy
Defense Savings Flumps and Bonds.
The American Federation of Labor
has pledged the-TOpport of itself and
its members to purchase Defense Sav
ings Stamps and Bonds. This fact was
emphasized at a meeting of the rep
resentatives of National and Interna
tional Unions at the headquarters of
the American Federation of Labor on
December 10, 1941. At said meeting
the following declaration was adopted
unanimously:
'We pledge our support to the pur
chase of United States Savings Bonds
and Stamps, and do everything we can
to support that program.'
"Now it becomes our individual and
collective duty to translate this decla
ration into action. The members of
the American Federation of Labor and
all their friends can do this. I appeal
to you in the name and in behalf of
the American Federation of Labor to
use every dollar of earnings which
you can spare in the purchase of De
fense Savings Stamps and Bonds.
"In some localities arrangements
are made for systematic buying, that
is, that out of the earnings of the
workers each pay day a certain
amount is invested in Defense Savings
Stamps and Bonds. I urge that plans
be formulated which will make such a
program and such a policy effective.
"1 further urge that committees be
appointed by each local organization,
each central body, and all state feder
ations of labor for the purpose of spe
cializing in this work. These commit
tees can render most effective service.
Let them be the agencies through
which the sale of Defense Savings
stamps and Bonds is promoted.
"It has been suggested that labor
set as a part of its goal the purchase
of Defense Savings Stamps and Bonds
in an amount sufficient to replace the
American battleships which were de
stroyed when the Japanese airplanes
attacked Pearl Harbor and our Navy
in the Pacific. The workers of the
United States can do this. They can
place their money at the disposal of
the Government for the purpose of
building battleships, airplanes and a
navy sufficiently strong to meet the
urgent needs of the hour.
"I earnestly appeal to you to do
your part, to do our bit, buy Defense
Savings Stamps and Bonds as fully
and as freely as you possibly can.
The Government needs your help. Our
future safety ami the preservation of
all we hold dear demand that you do
so. Workers of America do not fail
yourselves or the Government in our
great hour of need! Measure up to
the full demands and full require
ments of the present situation. Show
the world that the financial needs of
our Government will be met in full
measure. I appeal to you with all
the power at my command to not only
give your service to the Government
hut to make available for the use of
the Government ail the money you can
spare. You can do this through the
purchase of Dei,use Savings Stamps
and Bonds."

Columbiana County Public
Health League To Extend
Services Without Cost
Because 18 civilian workers are re
quired to equip and supply one man
on the war front, this conflict will be
won in the factories and on the farms,
says Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing
director of the National Tuberculosis
Association, in the January issue of
The Bulletin, the monthly magazine
of the association.
"Victory depends always on the
heroes of the air, the oceans and the
land, but all these would be powerless
without the equipment necessary for
mechanized warfare. Those who work
must be kept as effective as the fight
ing men. On the health of the work
ers, we must rely for victory," he
writes.
Dr. Emerson's article is in direct
line with the plans for the coming
year of the Columbiana County Public
Health League, according to Dr. Guy
E. Byers, president of the Columbiana
County Public Health League. "The
home front is the sphere of immedi
ate action of our association," says
Dr. Byers. "Our part is to help raise
the national level by fighting the
spread of tuberculosis, which is still
the chief killer of persons between 15
and 45—the very group this country
most needs."
Dr. Byers pointed out that in 19
large cities in the United States,
where defense industries are concen
trated, tuberculosis has already
shown an increase. This, Dr. Byers
said, is undoubtedly due to overtime,
increased strain and overcrowded liv
ing conditions.
It is the hope of the board of trus
tees of the Columbiana County Public
Health League that we will be able to
extend our services to the industries
of the county following much the
same procedure that we now follow in
the schools, that is, offering the patch
tests to the employes without cost and
where possible assisting and arrang
ing for the chest X-rays where it is
advisable.

INVITATION EXTENDED
CENTRAL LABOR BODIES
Second In Series Of Conferences To
Be Held In Newark,
Sun
day, January 18
Eyewitness accounts of the war's
effect on workers of England, China
and Germany will feature the second
of a series of regional labor and edu
cational conferences, sponsored by the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, which
will be held in the new headquarters
of the Newark Federation of Labor,
7Vs East Church street, Sunday, Jan
uary 18.
Open to the public, the conference
will begin at 10 a. m., with officials
of the Newark Federation of Labor,
co-sponsors of the meeting, presiding.
Michael J. Lyden, president of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, will
speak briefly, following which Her
bert F. Hillebrandt, Director of Edu
cation for the State Federation of
Labor, will outline objectives of the
conference.
Ernst Winkler, former lieutenant in
the German army and leader of the
Catholic Youth Movement in that
country, and now a fugitive from a
Nazi concentration camp, will speak
at 11 a. m. on "Germany's Hitler and
Nazism."
Assuming the name of Winkler lo
protect relatives living in Germany,
he is the author of revealing articles
on German existence under Hitler's
Nazi rule, and in demand as a speaker
throughout the country.
Before making his escape to this
country Winkler spent four and one
half years in a concentration camp
for refusing to take the oath of al
legiance to Hitler.
The conference will adjourn at
noon until 1:30 p. m., at which time
Chu Hsueh-Fan, president of the
Chinese Workers' Association of
Chungking, and a delegate to the re
cent International Labor Conference
in New York, will give a work pic
ture of Chinese workers and their
stand against Japanese militarism.
"War and Post-War Problems of the
British Worker" will be discussed by
W. R. G. Mackay, Labor Party mem
ber of the British Parliament. Mr.
Mackay is probably one of the best
equipped persons in England to dis
cuss post-war problems of the
worker.
The amended Ohio unemployment
compensation law will be explained by
W. T. Roberts, labor member of the
Board of Review, Ohio Bureau of Un
employment Compensation.
In addition to Newark, the regional
conference will include the cities of
Cambridge, Coshocton, Crooksville,
Lancaster, Marietta and Zanesville,
and the counties in which they are
located.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Merchant Marine
Employment Seen
Doubling By 1943
Washington (ILNS). The total
number of jobs for America's deep
sea merchant seamen has been little
affected by the curtailment of normal
maritime commerce since the outbreak
of war in Europe in September, li)3:)
according to a survey made by the
Division of Economics and Statistics
of the United States Maritime Com
mission.
Repeal of Neutrality Act restric
tions on freedom of movement by
American merchant ships and the rap
idly increasing output of new vessels
from the nation's shipyards, it is
pointed out, should eliminate future
job shortages for skilled seamen. Pre
liminary estimates show that the total
number of deep-sea jobs in the indus
try will be almost doubled by the end
of 1943.
Upon the basis of these estimates
the training program of the Maritime
Commission for both officers and sea
men to man the greatly expanded
American merchant marine of the fu
ture has been doubled. About 600 new
ocean going cargo vessels are expected
to be delivered into service by Amer
ican shipyards by the end of 1942
and an additional like number by the
end of 1943 under present commission
construction plans.
The conclusion to be drawn from
the survey is that the restrictions im
posed on American maritime com
merce by the war have had but slight
effect on the total employment of sea
men, which has fluctuated around 50,
000 over the period surveyed. Using
that figure as a basis for future esti
mates, it is believed America is des
tined to reach an all-time high in the
employment of seafaring men by late
1942 or early 1943.
A. F. L. MEMBERSHIP
TOPS LAST WAR PEAK
Roster Doubled Since C. I. O. Left,
Report Shows Paid Up
Total, 4,827,724
Paid-up membership in the Ameri
can Federation of Labor has zoomed
to the all-time high of 4,827,724, a
gain of 250,000 for the last four
months, President William Green an
nounced this week.
The rolls are now 700,000 above the
World War peak and twice as high
as after the C. I. 0. split in 1937. If
delinquent and unemployed members
are included, the total would reach
