for years to gain without sue
cess, you have no doubt resigned
your figure to stringlineS. But
don't give up until you have fol
lowed q systematic weightgain-
ing program. Lenna Frances
Cooper, q leading authority in the
field of nutrition and president
of the Greater New York Dietetic
Association, suggests some prac-
ticable measures by which 1t is
possible to gain weight at the
rate Of q pound q week.
The first step Is to plan the
menu around the protective
foods; milk, eggs, fruits and
vegetables. Galleries are not the
only measuring stick, for under
weight may be caused by diet
deficient in quality as well as
quantity.
The regular use Of a health
building breakfast automatically
includes q number of these pro-
tective elements. A breakfast of
fruit juice, whole grain cereal,
bread and an egg is balanced
perfectly for health.
It is easy to tuck calorieS into
the menu by taking one extra pat
Of butter with each meal. There's
800 calories a day! The addition
Of dates, raisinS. pruneS or figs to
cereal will boost the calorieS and
supply iron. Hot, appetizing drinks
are a means Of adding milk and
cream to the menu. If advisable,
800 more calorieS a day may be
added by taking one tablespoonful
Of olive oil after each meal.
With capricious appetiteS 1t Is
very important to have regular
meal hours, since the underweight
loses interest in food once the
time is past. Every single meal is
important in the weight-gainer'S
program. If you want to gain
weight you cannot skip occasional
meals or get by with q sand
wich. It is almost impossible to
catch up on lost calorieS.
Calorie intake must be very
gradually increased. Eat a little
more food at each meal and don't
attempt to crowd too many extra
calorieS into one meal.
Meals may be supplemented by
midmorning or midafternoon Gallo
rieS in the form of milk with raw
egg, or fruit juice.
In general, the daily menu for
the weight-gainer should include
three-fourthS to one quart Of milk,
one and one-half ounces (six pats

Mrs. Victor Barkstrom of James

ported as an immigrant spy and is
now in the custody of her children
pending appeal before the Board of
Review. Mrs. Barkstrom, consider
ing herself an American citizen,
made a brief visit to Sweden and on
her return was confined in Ellis
Island. 1t is alleged that the COM
plant is being pressed against Mrs.
Barkstrom because she was arrested
for watching a picket line (she was
released immediately and because
she served with the Mayor of James
town on the local committee for the
American League Against War and
Fascism.
Eight thousand three-hundred
nineteen persons were deported
from this country by force in 1885,
and 1887 left voluntarily when
threatened with deportation. In the

"The principal object of the Italo-

that, if they fail to make political

Social Security Form
Is Branded As Fraud
Board Denies That 1t Has Issued
or Contemplates Issuing Any
Call for Personal Data from
Workers.
By A. F. of L. News Service


WASHINGTON, D. Can extern
sively circulated form purported to
be issued by the Social Security
Board was branded as a fraud
and a deliberate fabrication by
Arthur ]. Altmeyer, acting chair
man.
The Boards statement followed
the charge by Harrison E. Spangler,
executive vice chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, Chi
cago, that enforcement of the Social
Security Act called for "a complete
RECOMMENDATION of the American
workmen."
Commenting on information charts
which he claimed were being printed
for the use of the Social Security
Board, Mr.. Spangler said:
'They provide that the worker
must furnish details and accurate in
formation covering many subjects
and concerning his private life. He
is required to state his church affil-
iations, his labor union affiliations,
his physical defects, whether he is
divorced or married, whether he
owns his own home, whether he has
been discharged from employment
and, if so, the reasons for such dis
charge, and many other items of an
intimate nature personal to the
| worker"
In reply to this and other cam
paign canards about the Social Sc
curity Act the statement by the So
cial Security Board said:
There is not the slightest particle
of truth in statements issued today
and in forms circulated today claim
ing that the Social Security Board
will require information concerning
church affiliations, labor-union affil-
i~ations, personal physical defects,
whether a worker is divorced,
whether he owns his home, the rea-
son for his discharge from a job if
he has been discharged, or other
items of ar intimate personal nature.
"The Social Security Board has no
need for such information. II has
no intention of ever seeking such in
formation. 1t has never had any
such intention. In fact, it has no
legal authority to do so.
Furthermore, the authors of this
canard must know that it is a fraud
because as far back as January II
the Social Security Board issued a
public statement, which was widely
published by newspapers and trade
journals throughout the country,
denying the same sort of fraudulent
| claim made at that time.
For the administration of the So
cial Security Act, the Board will re-
quire only a few simple facts as to
the name, age, address, and place
of work of the individual. It has
absolutely no need for and will not
require the information pointed to
by heavy arrows on the fraudulent
forms which r being circulated"

thoughts that will make you a poor

WASHINGTON, D. C.-James o.
Cornell, well-known American Ia
Dor leader for more than forty years,
died here October 80 after a long
illness. He was 78 years old. The
funeral services, held at st. Mar
tins Church on November 2, were
attended by a large number of labor
officials and friends. Burial was in
st. Martins Cemetery.
Mr.. O'Connell was born in Miners
vile, Pa, on August %, 1858, the
son of James and Margaret Donough
O'Connell. He was educated in the
public schools. He married Miss
Ellen Gallagher of Geneva, N. Y,
on June IL, 1886. A machinist by
trade, he enrolled in the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists. He
was elected president of the Ma
chinists in 1891 and held that office
until 1910.
He was elected third vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor in 1895 and served continu-
ously as third and later as second
vice president until 1918.
He was chosen president of the
Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor in
1908, serving in that office until he
retired in 1884 because Of poor
health, with the title of president
emeritus.
Mr.. O'Connell represented the
American Federation of Labor at the
British Trades Union Congress in
Plymouth, England, in 1899. He was
appointed a member of the Com
mission on Industrial Relations by
President Wilson in April, 1918. In
1917, he was a member of the Execu-
tive Committee on Labor of the
Council of National Defense.
At the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor in
1925, Mr.. O'Connell assailed en-
ployers for establishing company
unions to break down bona fide
trade unions and urged a counter
attack against employers engaged in
this subversive movement.
He was militantly active in advo-
eating a five-hour, five-day week
for working men and women and
persistently labored to improve work
conditions in shipyards.
AS a member for many years of
the A. F. of L. Non-Partisan Politi-
cal Campaign Committee he urged
the workers to vote for candidates
friendly to labor in national cleo
tons.
At the 1928 convention of the
American Federation of Labor, Mr..
O'Connell advocated the abolition
of private profits in the production
of munitions and vessels used in
national defense.
Testifying as a representative OF
labor before a Senate subcommittee
conducting hearings on prohibition
on April 9, 1926, he claimed the Vol
stead law was unenforceable and
therefore Objectionable, but insisted
that labor was not in favor of the
return of the saloon.
Mr.. O'Connell was a member Of
the Washington Board of Trade, the
Columbia Country Club and the
Congressional Country Club.
Surviving are his widow, three
sons, Martin J., James, Jr., and Rev
Thomas E. O'Connell, and a daugh.

of the employers and the Liberty
League indicates how much they
really care for democracy and the
interest of hostile employers"
Quoting further from Mr.. Soule's
article, he says, There exists in the
United States, and has existed for
many years, a large and profitable
secret industry, the purpose of which
is to spy upon union activity, to
build up company-dominated unions,
to betray unions to employers, to
supply str~ikebreakers, to act as pro-
vocateurs in stirring up violence, to
draw up blacklists of active union
men, to promote dissension in I'M
ions, to put traitors in places where
they can mislead organizations of
labor, steal or dissipate their funds,
and generally to weaken them in the
interest of hostile employers.
Mr.. Heber Blankenhorn, of the
staff of the Labor Board, introduced
an exhibit specifically listing 200
agencies whose exclusive or princi-
pal business was industrial espion-
age in strike-breaking. These agents
have offices in all centers and m
ploy a minimum of 10000 operatives
and do a business costing a minimum
of 80 million dollars a year.
In connection with the cry of
Communism" always raised in Ia
Dor disputes, the article has this to
say, Spy and strike-breaking agen-
cies not infrequently assume the
masks of patriotism, ultra-Ameri-
canism, or some form of public serv-
ice" the Labor Board reports. One
example, it states, is the American
Vigilant Intelligence Federation,
whose honorary manager" is Mr..
Harry A. Jung. Mr.. Jung was as
ISOLATED with Mrs. Albert w. Dilling
in compiling a book called "The Red
Network" which denounces as Reds
a long list of prominent persons hav-
ing liberal or progressive views. This
book is used as a reference work by
patriotic" bodies who attempt to
suppress public speeches by anyone
listed. Their un-American practice
is, through assassination of reputa-
ton, to try to deny freedom of
speech to anyone with whom they
disagree.
In the labor board report, pre-
pared by Mr.. B~lankenhorn, after
careful investigation, the following
passages appear: Detective agen-
cies . have spies for sale and
armed strikebreakers and munitions.
Labor trouble is not merely to their
business advantage; it is practically
their whole business. They inform
clients of trouble they threaten it,
and often where it is not forthcom-
ing they make it. They have 'oper-
atives' furnished with any sort of
union card, skilled in aiding union
organization, if need be, so that the
agency may be hired to break the
union"
Since violence is to their advan-
tage they have instigated or directly
created violence. Their operatives
have been convicted of violence in
the past. The same agencies r
equipped today to do the same
things.
The individual agent or spy knows
he won't draw pay long if he reports
mo trouble" The larger and more
violent, the more profitable.
Their lawyers, including very
eminent counsel, attempt in court
to protect their secrecy as a bust
ness right. They have largely sue
ceeded in doing SO.
