Girl in Every Port

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 26 and single, and
served six years in the Navy
wherever I found girls, I had a
good time, then dropped them.
One was an exception. We
went together for three years
and were planning to get mar
ried, but I walked out on her,
too. BY the way, she gave me
my walking papers.
. Well, like this girl and just
can't get her off my mind. So
I thought if made one more
date with her and told her how
I felt, it would clear up the situ-
alton, and we'd know where we
stood.
What do you think of this?
SEA-GOING BELLHOP.
Three years is a pretty good
time to test ones fidelity, even
If you have lived up to a sailors
reputation by having a girl in
every port.
Why don't you make one
more date with this girl, and if
you're glad to see each other,
why stop at one date?

like to know if you would write
a note of thanks for me?
May land family" ever be
written on an envelope?

a group of people. three. III.

A note Of thanks for a gradu-
alton gift might be worded like
this:
Dear Mary,
How kind you were to think
Of me so graciously and gener-
ously for my graduation
you're always such a grand
friend! Thank you, with all my
heart, for your beautiful gift.
The purse is a perfect beauty,
quite the handsomest one I've
ever owned, and I can't tell you
how proud I am to have it. It's
just the kind I've always longed
to have, just the color, just the
most convenient compartments.
and So roomy. You have such
wonderful taste. Mary dear, and
your gifts always are very spe-
cial.
I am looking forward to
seeing you at my graduation
and then very soon after, for
a you-and-me chat.
Dearest love to you, and
deepest thanks. Affectionately.
No, we should never use the
phrase land family" on an
envelope.
The courteous thing is to
write an individual note Of
thanks to each person con-
cerned in the sending OF the
gift.

Unless there is the greatest
tact shown by both sides, it's
pretty difficult living with in

If the girl friend is a credit
able person, I can't see why
your husband objects to her,
unless he belongs to the Stone

keep his wife in a cave and hold
a rod over her as well. Have
you ever tried talking this out

recriminations, or a show OF
temper?
Quite A Problem Here
Dear Miss Fairfax:
About a year ago I met a
man considerably younger than
I am. He is IS and I am "a.
He knows I've been divorced
and have two children.
He is very anxious to marry
me, but he drinks quite a lot.
It is not his natural inclina-
ton, but he has too many
friends and doesn't seem able
to say no" I'd like to reform
him. Do you believe in refor-
nation? S. M. w.
A great many women have
had that dream about reform
ing men who can't say mo-"
but the dream in nine cases
out of ten has developed into
a nightmare. Men who can't
say mo" seldom reform, be-
cause they are fundamentally
weak.
AS to the difference in your
ages, nine years is something
of a risk, especially as the man
has this weakness.

In Rediscouered Virginia Gaze
But Whether President Madison or

Special DiSpstcl to The Star,

LURAY, Va, July 28.-Whether the
newly leased and rediscovered caverns
near Grottoes, a mile and a half from
the boundary Of the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park. were first discovered by
President James Madison or Bishop
James Madison. president of William
and Mary College, one Of whom carved
his name there in ITS, is a moot
question, according to ]. Luther Kibler
OF Newport News, historian. John P
Kibler OF Luray, the recent discoverer,
expects to open the caverns August l.
Mr. Kibler found them two years ago
when studying an old atlas, said by
]. Luther Kibler to have been made
by Bishop Madison. At any rate in
point of antiquity their discovery
goes back century and a half ago.
Stalactites and stalagmites are of
wonderful colors, and the high ceilings
excel the other caverns, it is said.
Names dated in the early II hun
dreds written high up were lower

J. Luther Kibler in a letter says, in
part:
Bishop James Madison, D. D.. was
a cousin of President James Madison,
AND was born in Rockingham County,
near Port Republic, which is about 2
miles from the caverns. He was al
ready a minister in Williamsburg.

John Browns Fort.


Now 70 back up through town and
enter the grounds of Storer College
on Bolivar Heights. The grounds are
picturesque, but perhaps the greatest
interest lies in the rectangular little
brick structure back in curve OF the
road not far from the college build
ings. That's John Browns Fort. 1t
stands now on its original site, for
this little fort has been much travelled.
It was taken down first and re-
erected at the old Chicago Worlds
Fair subsequently, it was brought
back TO Harpers Ferry and set up in
a little park here. And finally, 1t
was removed to its present location.
Today it is a museum OF the Civil
War containing hundreds of relics OF
that strife.
John Brown, your study OF history
will remind you, sought TO liberate the
slaves by arming them and melting
them to rebellion. This little fort"
was an engine house in which Brown
and his followers held their hostages
after their raid, and in which they
made their last stand against Federal
Marines. Rewhiskered Brown was
taken prisoner and sent to Charles
Town, w. Va, where he was tried
and hanged. This tour will lead
through that little town.
Now about stopping over night
here. There are numerous inns and
tourist homes. Probably the most
famous of the inns is Hilltop House,
perched on the very edge of the bluff
over the Potomac. The scenery from
it is delightful. but this correspondent
found the prices quite high for the
accommodations it offered.
From Harpers Ferry the tour con-
tinues on Highway No. $40 through
to Charles Town, miles from there.
Charles Town, laid out by Charles
washington, brother of George, and
named for him, is pleasing. Its popu-
lation is slightly more than $500 and
its court house is the center of its
interest. The structure was built in
Colonial days and stin is in use.
Visitors there may see where John
Brown was jailed and where he was

Montana labor news., 1934-09-20

The "Wall Street Journal" is dreadfully dis
tressed because the National Labor Relations
Board has ruled that when a majority of the en-
ployes in an industrial unit vote to authorize
an individual or a union to represent them in
negotiations with their employer, the agreement
which results shall be binding on all the employ
es in that particular unit. The Journal says:
80 far from setting anything, the boards
ruling will aggravate an already troublesome la
Dor situation, lead to litigation over the c%onstitu-
tionality of the boards powers and its attempted
exercise of them, and add bitterness to the wran-
gle in Congress this winter over extension Of the
Recovery Act"
Why these dire predictions? The boards rul-
ing does not propose any new or untried ex-
pertinent. The railroads furnish an excellent ex-
ample of how it works. Wherever it has been
adopted in good faith by the employers industrial
peace and good feeling have resulted.
But, says the Journal, " " the employer is deni-
ed the opportunity to negotiate a wage bargain
with a minority of its men, or with any of them
Individually"
All, there's the rub The object of the recov-
cry law is to secure collective bargaining, and
the Journal" says the employers for whom it
speaks are prepared TO wreck the IIesluehl ,
recovery plan unless they can have individual
bargaining.
OF course, such a scheme would produce in
dustrial choas. Imagine a railroad negotiating
with each Of its employees to determine how
much he should receive for his days work There
might be as many wage schedules as there are
employees.
Think of the unfairness of such a system. I'm
der the NRA employers are encouraged = in
fact, compelled ~ to organize to safeguard their
interests. For years they clamored for that
privilege but the antitrust laws stood in the
way. Now the antitrust laws have been set
aside so the bosses may form their own unions"
They are to have collective bargaining, and the
boss who objects will be put on the spot"
The Journal enters no objection to that. But
it insists that when the worker seeks to fix his
hours, wages and working conditions he shall
come alone, cap in hand, to do business with his
organized boss.
The labor movement is content to go to the
country on that issue. The American sense of
fair play is not so a~trophied that it will enter
tain such a manifestly unjust proposal.

Grafton of Labor convention on October | Fed
Grafton Pres. VIM. Green announced September
18th.
The original plans for an earlier national.con-
ference were altered so as to throw into the
textile strike Immediately the largest possible
volume Of support, " according to Green. He re-
ported Sufficient pledges of organizers and
money from A.. F. of L. union officials ito meet
the present needs of the striking United Textile
Workers Of America" 1t had been found by
Green that many of the international union Of
ficials were about to start for San Francisco for
conventions Of the Departments of the A. F. Of
L., held in advance of the Federation's own con-
vention, and so could not attend the proposed
textile strike conference in Washington.
For this moment" Green said, "the vital
thing is that all national and international unions
send their organizers into the textile strike sit
uation under the direction of the U. 7. w. and
that local bodies do likewise in every case where
men are available. A half million men and wo-
men are on strike and there is work to be done
at once. l have made this most urgent call to
all of our organizations and l feel sure that the
response will contribute nightly to the success
Of the great strike"
While Green was thus rallying A. F.. of L. sup
port, the u. T. w. strike committe announced "a
flood of reports of assaults upon strikers"
From almost the entire strike area" said
Chairman Francis ]. German of the committee,
" we have reports of strikers shot, strikers beat
en-, strikers cut by bayonets in the hands of ner-
vous guardsmen.
"The mills laid their plans long ago to use force
Of evry kind. We knew that and we said they
we're doing it. They have recruited and armed
the most vicious characters they could find.
Their work has served as the basis upon which
militia has been called out. The United Textile
Workers opposes the use of the armed forces
of the state against strikers.
at is worth noting that the governor of Maine
called out his militia at midnight last night
September 10), the moment he was reelected.
Let me say there will be more elections and we
shall not need to be told how to vote"
In a radio speech, German declared that the
union had decided against Individual mill settle
ments. Settlement will be made now, when
it is made, whether by arbitration or otherwise,
with the textile industries as such. That means
there must be settlement with the entire cotton
textile industry, with the entire wool and wor-
sted industry, with the entire silk industry and
on. There will be no settlement mill by mill
in any Of the divisions of the industry"

Living Costs Rise Ever More Rapidly

A worker must now pay 27H cents more for
each dollars worth of food than he paid last
April. So if your wages have not been raised
27H per cent since last April, you may easily
answer questions as to whether you are better
off now than then - at any rate SO far as food
is concerned, the largest single item in a work
er's budget.
Figures of the U. S: Bureau of Labor Stats
tics show that retail food prices rose 80 per cent
during the two weeks period ending August %.
This represents a much bigger upward jump than
has been made for some time, though food costs
were rising steadily in preceding weeks. The
rise places the current index at 1853, whereas
it was 111.8 two weeks previously, 110.4 four
weeks before and 1911 a year ago.
"The current index shows an accumulated rise
in retail food prices of 27.5 per cent since April
IS, 1888, the low point reached since pre-war
days, commented Com. Lubin of the bureau.
"They are IL per cent higher than August %,
1888, and 144 per cent higher than two years
ago, when the indexes were 1911 and 1908 res
pectively."
