Nor a Laxative
“The continued use of laxatives
and cathartics only aggravates
constipation,” says a prominent
medical authority.
Nujol is an internal lubricant,
not a laxative, so it cannot gripe.
Take Nujol regularly and you
will escape the consequences of
the “laxative habit.”
Constipation is dangerous for
anybody. Nujol is safe for every
body. It does not affect the
stomach, and is not absorbed
by the body. Medical authori
ties approve Nujol because it is
so safe, so gentle and so natural
In its action.
Nujol makes up for a deficiency
of natural lubricant in the intes
tines. It softens the waste matter
and thus permits thorough and
regular bowel movements with
out griping.
Just try Nujol regularly for
the next month and see if you
don’t feel better than you ever
suspected you could.
Ask your druggist for Nujol

'LEADERS DEBATE
LMHUG
Green and Martin Discuss
Methods Before Congress
of Women.
B> the Associated Press
CHICAGO. March 11.—A congress
of women today reflected upon con
trasting methods of organizing workers
advocated by William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
and Homer Martin, president of the
United Automobile Workers of Amer
ica.
Speaking from the same rostrum
last night, each told of the technique
and aims of his group to align workers
under conflicting banners, either hori
zontally or vertically.
ureen cnanengea reasons offered Dy
the Committee for Industrial Organi
zation. headed by John L. Lewis, for
“splitting, tearing and ripping the or
ganized labor movement asunder.” He
said they were “in no way reasonable,
convincing or justifiable.”
The A. F. of L. president sharply
criticized the auto workers’ group and
accused it of “base ingratitude to the
parent organization.”
Martin countered with the assertion
he was convinced that “millions of
workers in the mass production in
dustries now unorganized could take
their places effectively and efficiently
in the labor movement only through
industrial unionism.”
He advanced three reasons in sup
port of this belief:
1. “Because one union can more
effectively and efficiently deal with
one management than can a number
of unions.
2. "It lends itself conveniently to a
development of a sense among the
workers of their common problems.
3. “Industrial unionism plays an
important part in democracy by elim
inating autocratic rule by leaders in
the movement and by educating the
workers in true democratic pro
cedures.”
Green denied the issue was one of
"industrial versus craft unionism,”
contending it was a case of whether
a majority or minority rule was to
govern policies of the A. F. of L.

demand to be sole bargaining agent for
the company's 75.00C workers. A dis
pute at the Hudson Motor Car Co. kept
10.000 idle at Detroit.
2,200 Reo Workers Out.
The U. A. W. A. called a strike that
threw 2.200 workers out of their jobs
at the Reo Motor Car Co. factory at
Lansing. Mich. Union officials said
the dispute arose over a “general pay
cut" and discharge of 15 men for union
activities.
Conferees representing the General
Motors Corp. and the U. A. W. A.
were near a final agreement on isues
pending since the end of the G. M.
strike February 11. The negotiations
covered wages, seniority rights, hours,
piece-work, speed of production and
other matters.
An agreement ended a six-hour sit
down strike that halted operations
at the General Motors Chevrolet
Fisher Body plants at St. Louis. The
company agreed to prohibit solicitation
of workers for the anti-union United
Chevrolet Workers’ Guild.
Murphy Not to Interfere.
Gov. Prank Murphy announced to
day there would be no State interven
tion in the Chrysler "sit-down'' strikes
"unless it lasts a long time or the
public interest is adversely affected in
some serious manner.”
Women's Auxiliary members of
United Automobile Workers' Union
locals took over the task of feeding
nearly 5.000 sit-down strikers in
Chrysler automobile plants here. They
set up kitchens near most of the fac
tories. but at the Dodge main plant
they used the company cafeteria.
Cooks there prepared to serve 4
bushels of potatoes, 250 pounds of
meat. 500 loaves of bread, 70 gallons
of coffee and 50 gallons of i .ilk today.
The Republic Steel Corp. at Cleve
land announced wage increases and a
more liberal vacation plan for em
ployes in subsidiary plants.
The wage increases, agreed upon at
a meeting between the management
and employe representatives of the
subsidiaries, followed the scale set up
yesterday for 35.000 employes of Re
public's Northern plants. The vacation
plan also is the same.
At Pittsburgh the Carnegie-Illinois
Steel Corp. announced extension of a
general pay increase on March 16 to
more than 20,000 office and salary
workers.
A steering committee of the corpo- j
ration's employe representatives’ group
turned down a proposal to join the
American Federation of Labor in
fighting John L. Lewis’ Committee for
Industrial Organization.
An agreement ended a sit-down
strike that kept 450 motormen and
freight handlers idle and crippled
transportation in underground freight
tunnels at Chicago. Several new
strikes started in the city, however.
Some 300 employes of the Chicago
Mail Order Co. were on a sit-down for
wage boosts. As many, including 170
women, started a sit-down at the
Hagard & Marcusson Co., manufac
turers of bed springs, while 345, in
cluding 40 women, struck at the Lud
low Typograh Co.
In other Chocago strikes 160 were
idle at the Cushion Continental Spring
Co., 400 at the Dearborn Glass Co. and
222 at the Union Bed Co. Some 1,200
employes of the Hurley Machine Co.,
makers of washing machines, resumed
work under a truce.
Firestone Office Employes Idle.
Approximately 1,500 office employes
were made idle at the Firestone Tire
& Rubber Co., at Akron, Ohio, when
they encountered a picket line. A dis
pute over collective bargaining caused
the shutdown of the plant, throwing
10,000 production workers in idleness.
A strike for higher wages closed the
Eastern Malleable Iron Co. at Nauga
tuck, Conn., affecting 500 workers.
Nine hundred men were made idle
by a strike of 500 of their number gt
the Dominion Textile Co. plant at
Sherbrooke, Quebec.
Two more hosiery mills closed in
Berks County, Pa., bringing the total
to 19 and the total number of em
ployes affected to more than 8,000.
FINAL ACTION ON G. M. STRIKE.
DETROIT. March 11 (iTl—A com
pact between General Motors Corp.
and the United Automobile Workers
of America, which have been negotiat
ing since the signing of a strike truce
February 11, was ready for final action
today.
Executives of another of the "big
three’ automobile producers, the
Chrysler Corp., occupied temporary
offices in a downtown hotel as they
sought a new location for continuing
their conference with U. A. W. A.
officials.
Union leaders, retaliating to a com
pany injunctive action, announced
that sit-down strikers occupying the
Chrysler plants in Hamtramck, High
land Park and Detroit would not per
mit corporation executives to enter the
buildings.
The conferees had been meeting in
the office of the Highland Park unit
prior to yesterday's application by the
corporation for an injunction against
the strikers and union officials. Circuit
Judge Allan Campbell ordered the de
fendants to show cause at 9:30 am.
(E. S. T.) Saturday why an injunc
tion should not be granted.
Wyndham Mortimer, U. A. W. A.
first vice president, announced at the
conclusion of a meeting between union
and General Motors negotiators late
yesterday that they had reached a
tentative understanding on all issues
not composed in the truce that ended
the far-flung strikes just a month ago
today. The conference opened Feb
ruary 16.
Details of the agreement were with
held pending final action. The last
point settled was the union's request
for a national minimum hourly wage
rate.
Previously the conference had de
cided upon methods of handling al
leged grievances of union employes
and disposed of the union’s demands
for seniority rights, a 30-hour week,
abolition of piece work and means of
determining speed of production.
One of the last factors to interrupt
the meeting was a new strike which
closed the Chevrolet and Fisher Body
plants in St. Louis yesterday. It was
settled last night by the St. Louis
management and local union leaders
with an agreement that membership
in the anti-union United Chevrolet
Workers’ Guild could not be solicited
in the factories.
Idleness among automotive workers
increased. With more than 55,000
Chrysler employes and 10,000 workers
for the Hudson Motor Car Co. idle at
Detroit, a sit-down in the Reo Motor
Car Co.’s factory at Lansing, Mich.,
threw 2.200 out of work.
The Reo strike was called at the
evening change of shifts yesterday be
cause, the local U. A. W. A president
said. 15 men had been discharged for
union activities and “because of a gen
eral pay cut.” Lester Washburn, the
Lansing union head, presented a set
of demands to the management, which
made no comment.
The Chrysler strikes were called

tlie union’s request for recognition as
the sole collective bargaining agency.
The Chrysler complaint against the
strikers termed them “no longer em
ployes” and “willful, malicious and con
tinuous trespassers * * * who are with
out pecuniary responsibility to respond
in damages for their unlawful acts.”
When Homer Martin, international
U. A. W. A. president, learned of the
court action, he said:
“Again we see the Chrysler Corp.
making the same mistake that other
corporations have made—that of en
deavoring to institute'law by injunc
tion. These methods do not settle any
labor dispute and will not settle this
strike.”
Negotiations between the union and
the Hudson firm ended abruptly last
night, with a company spokesman say
ing the representatives had failed to
reach an understanding and that the
company was ready to resume dis
cussions at any time.
"The next move .is up to the com
pany,” commented Ed Hall, U. A. W.
A. second vice president. He said
Hudson had rejected the union’s de
mand for exclusive bargaining rights.
Gov. Frank Murphy terminated a
Florida vacation, where he was rest
ing after mediating the General Mo
tors strike, to return to Michigan to
view the new labor troubles in the
State’s biggest industry.
STEEL COMPANY RAISES PAY.
PITTSBURGH. March 11 The
Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. informed
employes' representatives it would ex
tend a general pay increase on March
16 to its more than 20.000 office and
salary workers.
Under the plan each office depart
ment head would be granted an in
crease of 10 per cent in his wage
budget and instructed to distribute the
sum to the employes on a merit basis.
Ralph J. Martin of Homestead, Pa,
member of the Grievances Committee
of the Pittsburgh Joint District Coun
cil of the corporation, announced the
decision last night on leaving the
final conference with the manage
ment and his committee.
Employes’ requests for vacations
with pay and a change in pay days
from bi-months to alternate Fridays
were held under consideration by the
company.
Leaders of the representatives met
today to strengthen their organiza
tion for the contest with the swelling
union forces of John L. Lewis.
They apparently had abandoned
plans for formation of self-financed
body in favor of retaining with
modifications the existing system of
collective bargaining, under which the
company pays all expenses.
Yesterday the Steering Committee,
which had been instructed by the
council to draw up a new plan, re
jected a proposal to join the American
Federation of Labor in the battle with
Lewis' Committee for Industrial Or
ganization.
John P. Frey, veteran vice president
of the federation, had explained the
union's set-up for the committee.
The Lewis representatives, who won
a contract with Carnegie-Illinois last
week, will meet Friday to decide on
what further demands they will ask
at another conference with the com
pany, scheduled to begin next Mon
day.
CHAIN STORE TAX
RULED AS LEGAL
Virginia Supreme Court
Orders Fredericksburg
Ordinance Restored.
By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va„ March 11—The
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
today affirmed the judgment of the
Patrick County Circuit Court holding
the City of Danville has the right to
condemn property in Patrick County
for its P. W. A. hydro-electric project.
The opinion was read by Justice
C. Vernon Spratley. Chief Justice
Preston W. Campbell and Justice
Henry Holt dissented from the ma
jority.
The judgment of the Augusta Cir
cuit Court fixing the punishment of
Sylvia E. Huffman at death upon
conviction of the murder of W. H.
Riddle, was upheld by the Supreme
Court. Riddle was killed on April
26, 1936. The opinion by Justice Her
bert B. Gregory stated that a fair
trial was given in the case, and the
lower court was directed to set a new
date for the execution, the original
date having been passed.
The Appellate Court reversed the
decision of the Fredericksburg Cor
poration Court, which had held a
chain store ordinance invalid, and
ordered reinstated a $1,000 tax assess
ment. The ordinance, adopted in De
cember, 1932, provided for a tax of
$250 on each unit of a chain of stores
in excess of one.
Justice George L. Browning, read
ing the opinion in the Fredericksburg
case, said the Appellate Court be
lieved all of the objections against the i
taxation were without "substantial 1
merit.” The opinion stated that to
deny to a State or its subdivisions the
power to tax trades, callings, occupa
tions or property for revenue to main
tain the Government would strike a
fatal blow at the attributes of sov
ereignty necessary to governmental
existence. It asserted that there was
reasonable ground for the classifica
tion. asserted it was based on a real j
distinction, was not arbitrary or ca- j
pricious, and asserted it was legal \
and proper in there being present
requisite uniformity.
Dead Sea Water Buoyancy.
The extraordinary buoyancy of the
water in the Dead Sea is due to its
large salt content, being five times
that of ocean water. Potash and bro- ,
mine is becoming a large indu^ry due
to evaporation of the brine. j
