Smithsonian Institution
Given by an Englishman
The Smithsonian institution Is locat
ed In Washington, D. C. The Institu
tion Is an adjunct of the government,
established by act of congress in
1846 to take advantage of the terms
of the will of .Tames Smlthson, an
Englishman, who left his entire es
tate to the United States to found an
Institution bearing his name and in
tended for "the increase and diffu
sion of knowledge among men."
It Is controlled by a board of re
gents who may accept gifts without
action of congress, In furtherance of
the purpose of the Institution. It has
also acquired numerous of Its collec
tions.
The board of regents consists of the
Vice President of the United States,
the chief Justice, three members of the
senate, three from the house and six
private individuals named by congress.
The members, under the act accepting
James Smlthson's gift and creating the
institution, are the President of the
United States, the Vice President,m*

Bell of the Lost Lutine
The bell of the lost Lutine—the ship
that was once the pride of the British
navy, which went down off the Island
of Terschellng in the North sea on a
night In October more than 100 years
ago, with all hands save one, retrieved
by Lloyd's, which attempted the sal
vaging operation in 1857, hangs today
at Lloyd's in Leadenhall street in Lon
don, and a chair and a table made
from the rudder, which was brought
up at the same time, stand in the room
where the directors meet. For years
the bell has rung to announce the ar
rival of a missing ship at some port,
or the news that one more ship has
been lost. Three strokes of the Lu
tlne's bell are taken in marine and le
gal circles to mean that underwriters
must settle, and money owing to the
crews must be paid over to their heirs.
Origin of Military Colors
The origin of military colors can
be traced to the dim beginning of his
tory, a fact which Is confirmed by ex
cavations in India bringing to light
evidence that there was a "cult of the
standard" over five thousand years
ago. These primitive symbols were
made of metal or wood. They are
frequently mentioned In the Bible:
"The children of Israel shall pitch ev
ery man by his own standard, with
the ensigns of their fathers' house."
It os not until Just prior to the Chris
tian era that we find standards made
of cloth, silk or damask. The stand
ards of Julius Caesar's army were
made of metal, usually surmounted
an eagle.

BOSTON POLICE
Arrest Neckwear Workers
in Intimidation Drive
Boston, Mass.—The conviction of
many city police department officials ,1
that the police are to side with em
ployers in attempts to prevent work
ingmen and women from organizing .j
in bona fide trade unions and carry
on effective union work is pointedly
illustrated by the anti-union policy of
the Boston police in their attempts to
sandbag the efforts of women trade
unionists here in their legitimate,^
work of improving the economic con
dition of women workers.
policy in Boston],
was presented in concrete form to the
1933 convention of the American Fed
eration of Labor in Washington by...
Mrs. Mary Gordon Thompson, presi
dent of the Boston local of the Worn- .,
en's Trade Union League, who spe-^j
cifically charged! the Boston poKce
with making unwarranted arrests of
girl workers and assisting unpatriotic
neckwear manufacturers, who are
"chiselling" the national recovery
act, in their militant endeavors to"
prevent the organization of their em
ployes.
Mrs. Thompson, who was introduc
ed to the convention by President
William Green as a "very active
and loyal trade unionist," declared
that despite this breach of faith on
the part of employers and city offi
cials and consequent handicaps, the
work of union organization is mak
ing rapid progress. She said:
"In Boston at the present time the
neckwear workers are in a very bitter
fight. Up to this year we have gone
along very well since we organized
them, and that was six years ago.
"The employers, despite the fact
that we have the national recovery
act at this time, have made up theiif
minds that they are going to get out
from under, using all the arguments
that are usually used in such cases
and telling these people that they will
get their pay any way without be
longing to a union.
"The police in Boston are using our
girls in very bad fashion, and de
spite the fact that we have assured
them that they have no need to be
afraid to join any union, that it will
not be used against them, that the
employers will not dare, yet in Boston
our girls are being arrested one at
a time.
"These girls come from nice^'re
spectable families, they have never
had records in the police court, and
today, because they are fighting for
what is right they are being taken
when there is no need or justification
for it and they are getting police
court records.
"I have been busy as an organizer
for the Boston Women's Trade Union
League, and up in Springfield, Mass.,
we recently organized a plant, put
ting into the ranks of organized la
bor no less than 3,000 people. A
great many women were involved in
this."
WAR BAN
Can Only Come From Or
ganized Labor
Enfield England.—World peace will
be nothing but a dream until the
workers exercise their latent strength
and distribution of wealth, declared
M. A.
Bevan, labor member of par­
liament, in a speech here on the men
ace of war.
'If you want world peace you must
reorganize the economic life of the
world," he said.
"The ordinary working men and
women must assume control over eco
nomic activities and increase the
workers'consuming1 power so that
their employers will be able to in
vest their money here, and not have
to look to other countries in which
to invest it."
There was only one guarantee for
peace, he added, and that was to or
ganize a labor movement so strong
that their rulers would know that the
nation was not behind them if they
declared war.
