WOMEN'S OFF-JOB
PROBLEMS MUST BE
SOLVED TO MAINTAIN
WAR PRODUCTION
Means worked out in many commu
nities to solve off-the-job problems of
women wage earners are described in
the report, based on a survey of 37
war communities made by the Worn
en's Bureau. Steps to provide needed
marketing, shopping, housing, child
care, transportation and recreation
facilities for women workers are out
lined.
Miss Anderson stressed the fact
that many working women are doing
a double job of war work and home
work, and that their job is made more
difficult for them by the additional
problems with which they must cope
Service Workers Needed
"If war production is to be main
tained, the excessive burdens that
now limit the effectiveness of these
women must be removed," Miss An
derson said. She pointed out that a
major reason for turnover, absentee
ism, and loss of efficiency is the
"working environment," which in
cludes community as well as plant
conditions.
The Women's Bureau said the pro
vision of community services for
workers is a major requirement in all
communities. "Not every city needs
women welders, riveters, or shipyard
workers, but every city does need such
workers as waitresses, cooks, nurses
laundry workers, and bus and street
car operators," it was emphasized
In emphasizing the vital need for
such personal services as laundi-y
work, the report relates:
"The president of a large West
Coast aircraft corporation says that
he considers every worker placed in
a laundry is worth three new workers
in his own plant. He made this state
ment after a company survey revealed
that most absenteeism was caused
not by hangovers or other reasons of
that type, but by a lack of such com
munity services as laundries and res
taurants. Bomber production was
being affected because these workers
could not get their washing done."
Shopping Vexing Problem
Shopping was described in the bul
letin as an especially vexing problem
for women workers, since they usually
get to the store after the best selec
tion is gone.
In Philadelphia, the survey revealed
gome butchers hold back part of their
meat supply until 6 P. M. to accom
modate housewives who must do
their shopping late. St. Louis volun
teers collect last-minute information

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Home
and community problems that burden
women working in industry must be
solved if war production is to be
maintained at its maximum, Mary
Anderson, director of the Women's
Bureau, U. S. Labor Department,
warned in releasing a report on
"Community Services for Women
Workers."

eliminating unnecessary shopping.
The Labor-Management Council of
the Niagara Frontier Area, made up
the representatives of management
the American Federation of Labor, in
luding the Intei'national Association
of Machinists and the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations, from 28 war
plants and representing more than
200,000 potential shoppers, arranged
for merchants in the Buffalo area to
keep back a certain part of their
"bargains" until evening for women
war workers.
Several plants in New York and
New Jersey have plans worked out by
the management and unions to help
solve the food problem. A represent
ative from a grocery store goes to one
plant every morning, takes food ord
ers from the women workers, and de
livers the food at the end of the shift
At another plant, a local department
store has opened a branch, stocked
with essentials.
TO INSPECT MEAT
IN FOOD LOCKERS
City and county health authorities
will confer in an effort to arrange for
the inspection of meat stored by
farmers in food lockers in Hamilton
city officials announced Tuesday.
R. P. Price, City Manager, said
that under terms of a city ordinance
no one is permitted to bring meat into
the city unless it has been inspected
He pointed out that the ordinance per
tained to individuals as well as to
stores and wholesalers.
Council may be asked to help work
out a plan for the inspection of the
meat and charge farmers for the
service. Price said a similar arrange
ment probably would be put into ef
feet in other Ohio cities.

ABOR'S AID TO HOUSING
PRAISED BY EMMERICH
St. Louis.—Organized labor has put
over the top the biggest housing job
the history of the nation, Commis
sioner Herbert Emmerich of the Fed
eral Public Housing Authority re
vealed here at the annual meeting of
the National Public Housing Confer
ence.
The FPHA, said Emmerich, has
built 630,000 dwelling units for war
workers and their families—more
homes than are found in Los Angeles,
Detroit or Philadelphia. During the
year 1943 American workers built
371,000 war homes, more than half of
the total program.
"Labor cooperated splendidly," Em
merich said. "There has been no in
stance where a general strike stopped
construction of projects under FPHA
jurisdiction. In 1943 less than one
third of
1%
of the total man-hours on
FPHA projects was lost because of
strikes."
Insulators Aid Raleighs Drive
Washington, D. C. The national
drive of organized labor to send union
label Raleigh cigarettes to members
of the armed forces overseas has been
given a substantial boost by the In

ers, who have recently ordered more
than 100,000 Raleighs for the fighters
abroad.

WORKERS' VACATIONS
ENDORSED BY NWLB
Washington, D. C. Vacations as
aids of war production were officially
indorsed by the War Labor Board.
In a case involving the Fulton Iron
Works, St. Louis, and the AFL Elec
trical Workers, Vice Chairman George
W. Taylor wrote:
"It is our view that it is even more
necessary during a war period than in
normal times to provide reasonable
vacation periods as an aid in securing
maximum war production."
The regional WLB at Kansas City
had ordered the company to grant a
week's vacation to employes with one

'LET'S LOOK AT THE RECORD'
Why LILLIAN R. K1NZER is a Candidate
She has been an active Republican worker ever since
she could vote—ever ready to aid the Party—win or
lose.
She served one term of two years as Treasurer and is
the only Treasurer in the history of the county who
did not get a second term.
She installed the Tax Mailing System and it is con-
after five years service. The company
objected to the two weeks and ap
pealed to the national board. The
board, with industry members dissent
ing, rejected the appeal last January.
The company later petitioned for re
consideration. The board announced it
unanimously rejected that petition.
Ads Shows Changing Times
Schenectady, N. Y.—City officials
here, who formerly spent much time
avoiding job seekers, now are spend
ing money to find them. Help wanted
advertisements in the newspapers for
city laborers offer $6.05 to $6.80 for
an 8-hour day, time and a half for
overtime, vacation with pay and sick
leave after one year's service.
ceded that she made an excellent record in office.
Each time that she was a candidate at the primaries
she received a larger vote than before, showing that
the Republican voters have confidence in her. In 1936
she led the county ticket, although the entire ticket
was defeated. These defeats cannot be considered
personal, but due to "Roosevelt Landslides."
She has had two years' experience in office as Treasurer.
Her capability is proven by her record in office.
Her desire to aid the Taxpayer has been shown.
Her character is above reproach.
The above are necessary qualifications for a winning campaign, this fall.
She will be happy to have your vote and support.

Mass Arrests In Australia
New York City (ILNS).—T e
American office of the International
Transport Workers' Federation says
that reports recently received from
Australia say that last November and
December the Gestapo carried out
numerous arrests of women who were
active in the free trade unions, Social
Democratic Party and Socialist youth
organization before their destruction
in 1943. At the same time many of
the husbands or sons of the arrested
women were detained. Then suddenly
the women were released and their
menfolk sent, in some cases direct
from detention, to a training camp
and from there to the front.
