100 per cent every five years in ono
industry, makes the work OF organ
izing women a different problem
from that of men, who always face
the fact of being the bread-winners
and working until they are forced
to quit.
American women, because Of this
transient attitude, never have come
forward in great numbers asking
for organization. More and more
women are going back to the fac
tory after marriage. but only tenn
porarily. For, unless a woman can
earn a decent salary enough to EN-
pioy help at home, it doesn't pay
her to work except when she needs
some extras like clothes for the
children, a radio, or money to pay
for emergencies.

Belief Is He Can ProlQng War
 Until Rainy Season

Managua, Nicaragua, March - P' With the rainy season a little more than a month off, when jungle fighting will be difficult. the belief Is growing among the American marines that General Augustine San dino, rebel leader, can elude them indefinitely.
 This belief is based on past con- tacts with rebels, when Sandino re- mained some distance from the fighting in'the jungle,
 The only hope that they see of eliminating Sdndino is that bombs dropped from an airplane might wipe out his camp. This possibility is admittedly slim, because Of San- dino's frequent movements and the efforts made 10 conceal his head quarters.
 Sergeant Edward F. Rowe, of Maiden, Mass. was wounded slightly in the left arm at Condega when a rebel slipped out of the jungle, fired at him and vanished.

P0PF'S CRITICISM
 IMPORTANT TOPIC
Papal DenunCiation Of Italian Party Is Shock

Rome, March p P-The address Of Pope Plus criticizing the national Catholic center party for it's alleged sighting of its religious character in favor of closer cooperation with the Fascist government was the main topic of discussion today in diplomatic as well as ecclesiastical and Roman political circles.
 The question was asked in non- Italian quarters ii Daniel O'Con- nells famous phrase, Our faith from Rome. our politics from home would not incur pontifical disappro- bation if uttered today in the light of the Pope's newly revealed stand. French Eatholics were particularly puzzled in view of their forthcoming election on April 22. Instructions from Cardinal Gasparri papal secre- tary of state, enioined them 10 sup port the republican regime in power The Italian Catholics. however, have just been rebukod for overzealous support of the Fascist regime.
 True, there is no Roman ques- tion' between the French state and vatican and the Italian congrega- tions and other measures. it was be- lieved, could hardly have the Holy Sees unqualified approval.
 In the Pope's address of Sunday 1 10 the diocesan board of Rome and 1 of the things to which he seemed particularly to object in the Fascist program was the brigading of the childhood and the youth of the ma l ton to be educated in strict Fascist 1 style.
 The poiniIff asserted that the 1 church alone was entrusted with the mission of Christian education and the formation of youthful charac- ter This assertion was recognized by American Catholics as simple affirmation of the church's policy regarding the necessity Of the paro- chial school system in the United | States.
 The Pope and the Italian 4cclesi- astical hierarchy for a long time have been showing signs of nervous ness over the growth in popularity of the "Balilla" and 'Avanguardisti" organizations-the boys and youths of which wear the traditional bla ok shirts, are trained by military meth ods and taught the Fascist doccine that the individual exists for the
