Edwin S. Smith, member of
the NLRB, made the following
statement to the La Toilette
senate subcommittee investigat-
ing industrial spying:
II have never listened to any
thing more tragically un-Amer-
lean than stories of the dis
charged employees of the F'rue-
hauf Trailer Company, victims
of labor spy. Man after man
in the prime of life, of obvious
character and courage, came
before us to tell of the blows
that had fallen on him for his
crime of having joined union.
Here they were-family men
with wives and children-on
public relief, blacklisted from
employment, SO they claimed,
in the city of Detroit, citizens
whose only offense was that they
had ventured in the land of the
free to organize as employees to
improve their working condi-
tions. Their reward as workers
who had given their best to
their employer was to be hunt
ed down by hired spy like the
lowest of criminals and there
after tossed like useless metal
On the scrap heap"

Trade Union Auxiliary
Women Form Federation
To Push Union Products
Collective Buying of All Goods and Services Sold BY Busi-
ness Friendly to Organized Labor General Aim OF
Organization Set Up at Washington Conference.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-More
than 100000 American women have
membership in a recently formed in
ternational organization with the pri-
mary purpose of promoting the sale
of union label goods and services.
The organization, the American
Federation of Women Auxiliaries of
Labor, came into being at confer
enee in Washington of representatives
of the national and international
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor and the railroad
brotherhoods.
Collective buying to advance the
cause of organized labor is the broad
general aim of the organization, which
will seek not only the spending OF
union-earned money for union goods
and services but for all commodities
sold by business friendly to labor.
For example, the support of the or
ganization will be thrown to rail-
roads and other transportation agen-
cies which are friendly to trade union
ism.
The conference was called by the
union label trades department with
the approval of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor executive council
and the womens auxiliaries Of the
railway labor unions.
Officers to be Elected
Matthew Woll, president Of the
union label trades department,
acted as chairman and outlined the
purposes of the meeting as set forth
in a resolution passed at the twenty
eighth annual convention of the
union label trades department, held
last year at Atlantic City. l. NJ. Orn-
burn, secretary treasurer of the de-
partment, will act as temporary sec
retary until the regular convention OF
the AFWAL, when the president, vice
president, secretary treasurer, and
board of directors will be elected
from the membership. The confer
ence appointed committees to draw up
a constitution and bylaws to be sub
mitted at the next meeting. The SEN
timent of the women representatives
in attendance was unanimous and en-
thusiastic for the women's auxiliary
federation.
Women's auxiliary organizations
that had no representatives present
sent messages approving the plan.
Federation Urgently Needed
The keynote address, by Mr.. Orn-
burn, well expressed the general SEN
timent of the meeting, and received
the approval of all the speakers at
the conference.
The sole purpose of calling this
conference was to organize all the
recognized women's auxiliaries OF
national and international labor un-
ions into a co-ordinated body" Orn-
burn said. There is an urgent need
of federation of women's auxiliaries
Of labor unions, affiliated with the in
dividual labor unions of the Ameri-
can labor movement, in the United
States and Canada.

Turning a Harmless Filtration Into
Real Love Affair.

DEAR DOROTHY DIx-A married
man from a distant city convinces
a small-town wife and mother that
she is the woman he has been seeking
all his life. and tells her that he can
give her the full life in the distant
magic city that she has longed for If
she will discard her hard-working
present husband and will go to him
just as soon as he can arrange to di-
vorce his wife, who, of course, does
not understand him" What would
you advise the deceived husband and
father of three little boys to do under
these conditions? c. G. c.
Answer-That is a problem that you
must solve for yourself according to
your own heart and conscience. In
tragedy so great as yours a stranger
dares not intermeddle Nor is there
anything one can say that will palliate
your sense of outrage at the wrong
that has been done you by a villain
and a weak and silly woman.
What either a man or woman, who
has been betrayed by his or her mate,
should do is difficult question to de-
eide even for dispassionate outsider.

Of the sinner into consideration before
making decision. The constitutional
philanderers will always roam. They
can never be trusted. But sometimes
man and woman are swept away. or
yield to temptation that they have
not the strength to resist and that
they repent in bitterness ana tears.
IF YOUR wife is Of silly and friv-
olous disposition; if she is vain and
eager for the attention of men, she
will listen to the next one who comes
along. But II she Is Just one of those
women who perhaps married before
she ever had any girlhood; who Is
avid for the pleasures and gayety she
has missed, and who has dreamed all
Of her days Of the glamour Of the
cities and Of being one of the gay
throng who frequent night clubs, she
Is not necessarily bad. She is just
sentimental and romantic and silly
She is one of those women who has
been taken by the devil to the top of a
high mountain and shown all the
riches of the world, and she sold her
soul for them.
It all depends upon whether your
wife is worth saving. and whether you
love her enough to try to save her.
