ment in a market, handling foods.
After the nurse had warned his en-
ployer the man was dismissed and
visited a clinic, but has not been To-
Gated since.
In many cases, the nurses reports
indicated, the patients refused to go
to the hospital for treatment, and
under the existing law of the District

to do so.

Lobor Un;ons F0c;ng
Problen,s Of Society

The great economic power OF LABOR
unions has somewhat deadened OLD SEN
,,ments. The position Of wage earners
today IN incomparably better than It
was 10 years ago. The laboring classes
fighting for their rights have become
indistinguishable In common mass
OF humanity, all lighting for the best
way out Of the problems which con-
front them all as a whole. Mr.. Green's
demand for IAN abundant life--a life
of freedom, of self lfexpression, OF spir-
final beauty -. With leisure. reere-
alton and material blessings" marks
the chasm which separates him from
those leaders who 20 years ago were
fighting for what might be called the
living wage" The chasm Is an ad-
vance and the plea is reasonable. But
securing its fulfillmert demands not
merely the success of the organized
labor movement but the success OF so
c,ety as a whole, In which organized
labor must find its place as con-
structive force. There are many
abuses to be eliminated. But the prob
lens of the present are not altogether
the problems of Injustice; they are
the problems OF human incapacity.-

UNITY

Some members of organized labor
display very little interest in spending
their earnings, and it is to this lack
of interest the unorganized owe their
ability to food the stores with non-
union products.
1t is because of this lack of interest
that trades unionists are sometimes
clothed from head to foot in the prod
ucts of non-union shops.
Stop and consider this and give
serious thought to the fact that every
time any member of organized labor
spends any of his earnings for the

them. Stop wishing and helping for
better conditions and start an enthus-
iastic campaign for the union label.
Wishing amounts to nothing unless
accompanied by firm resolution to
make the wish come true.
We shall become invlncible just as
soon as we fully realize the strength
we possess in our power of purchase
Our battle will be won when we give
thought to the spending Of our earn
ings.
There is an overwhelming power il
a number of persons all doing Their
utmost to accomplish the same result
Nothing can deter such tremendous
force from attaining success.

products of the non-union shop he
helps to retard our progress.
Every trades unionist must realize
that he must help the union shop and
thereby the members of organized
labor by intelligent purchasing, if we
are ever to see the fulfillment of the
vision of better day for those who
toll.
You will be surprised what rapid
strides will be made toward that goal
if, when you spend money you will
demand the union label, shop card,
and working button.
No one can impede our grogress
but ourselves. Conditions will not
change until we ourselves change

club women Tuesday night met at
dinner at Hotel Monte Vista in honor
of Mrs. Allie Dickerman of Tucson
national vice president from Arizona,
Mrs. Dickerman was passing through
on an official trip and found time to
stop here a few days. It was pri-
velege to have a member OF the
national executive board here. Her
talk was inspiring and informative
She told of the history, work and aims
of the national federation and what
the state is doing to cooperate. Mrs
Dickerson outlined plans for the state
convention at jerome in June and for
entertainment at Grand Canyon OF
the special trains Of national dele
gates to the Oakland convention in
July. It is likely that large represn-
tation from Flagstaff will take part
at both gatherings.
The dinner program was given by
the club orchestra. Miss Stewart, led
rousing chorus singing. Mrs. Orinn
Compton sang solo with orchestra
accompaniment, and in duet with Miss
Stewart. Between courses the or
chestra livened the already jolly oc-

The better homes movement has
won a secure place among educational
and civic forces of the country. Its
increasing Importance has been ac-
corded widespread appreciation, and,
more and more, cities and towns have
found that participation in the better
homes campaign is a civic asset Of real
value.
In 1925 there were 1857 local COM
mites carrying on campaigns Of edu-
cation in the ways Of improving hous-
ing conditions and home life, more
than twice the number for the year
previous. In 1926 the figure mounted
to 1855. Already, in March 1927
there are 1900 committees established
in cities, towns and rural commune
ties throughout the country.
The better homes movement is not
confined to the 48 states. There are
four committees in the Hawaiian ISL
ands, one Of them representative of
the whole island Of Kauai There are
also organizations in Alaska and
Porto Rico. In Hawaii and Porto Rico,
where there are large native popula-
tions, the committees carry on most
valuable work in educating the people
to modern living conditionsshowing
how health and happiness can be con-
served by comfortable, clean, we'll
designed homes, furnished and
equipped with regard for American
standards.
