Engineering Workers
Speeded Up By Ndzi

The policy adopted by the Hitler
dictatorship in Nazi Germany to force
a larger output from the workers and
keep wages low in carrying forward
the armament program of the Reich
is revealed in a report of conditions
among the engineering workers by a
person fully informed with specific in
formation about a foundry manufac-
turing metal articles for the building
industry and employing 500 workers,
made public by the Information Ser
vice of the Foreign Bureau Of the Ger
man Trade Unions through the Inter
national Federation of Trade Unions
in Paris, France.
"rhe mobilization very much dis
turbed the works, although their i'm
portancc for rearmament purposes
made it possible for important Skilled
workers to be demanded" the report
said. GAS more and more orders came
in, however, and with fixed terms for
delivery, the works was hard put to
it to get all the work carried out"
THE orders had to be met without
any new people being taken on. Rush
orders had to be met by overtime and
speeding-up and the workers had to
bear the burden for the repeated
shortage Of raw materials, since these
forced stoppages were not paid for
and when the raw materials started
coming in again the work had to be
made up for without extra overtime
Decentralization went off without a
hitch because there was work waiting
for all. There are still many orders
to fill, mainly for road building and
Notifications.
"What deprsses the workers most is
the fact that they can only increase
their wages by working overtime,
There is no increase in wages and it
is impossible to change over to a bet
ter-paid works. The workers feel COM
pletely helpless and ask how long this
must go on. Everyone hopes for a
and no one regards Hitler's
success as the way to improvement"

Electrical Workers
Boost Membership

Washington, d. C.-Conditions at
the end of the year 1888 looked ex-
ceedingly bright to the officials of the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, when
an examination of their books revealed
that membership in the Brotherhood
had passed the 100000 mark.
In commenting on these figures,
Marion H. Hedges, research director
of the Brotherhood, said, "We have
made the greatest advance in the his
tory of our union"
Among the significant features of
the unions membership list is the fact
that it includes the 10000 employees
of the Consolidated Edison Company
of New York City, the local constitu-
ting the largest utility local in exist
ence.
With regard to wages of electricians
employed on utilities, construction
work and in other fields, it was stated
that the average wage had been in
creased $1.17 per hour during 1898,
with individual scales running higher
than this figure.
In addition, an increase of over so
per cent, from an average of 40 cents
to 6212 cents an hour, for production
workers in electrical manufacturing
plants had been gained, Mr. Hedges
said.
Turning to the generation of cleo
tricity the Brotherhood negotiated
during the year agreements covering
70 per cent of all private utilities in
the United States and nearly 100 per
cent of public utilities. The Tennessee
Valley Authority, Boulder Dam, Bon
neville, Shasta Dam, and other large
Government power centers include the
Electrical Workers Brotherhood as col
lective bargaining agency.
The achievements of the Internati-
onal Brotherhood Of Electrical Work
ers was attributed by Mr. Hedges to
the fact that eve are well managed

ligously, and we give wage protection,
plus a good many other benefits, to

Drive Continuation Is
Urged By Ornburn

Washington, D. c. (AFLWNS).-
Secretary-Treasurer !. NJ. Ornburn Of
the Union Label Trades Department
Of the American Federation of Labor,
in a New Years appeal, urged men,
bers Of labor unions, their families
and friends to continue the drive
against sWeatshop and other unfair
products during the coming year.
"If we can keep up the intensity Of
our drive for Union-made goods" Mr.
Ornburn said, "we can drive the i'm
porters and all other unfair merchan-
disers out Of American trade. With
just little more effort on the part
of union label boosters, we can make
the union label most formidable
weapon for American-made goods in
our market places.
eve can not afford to slow down.
We will not let up for one minute. We
must vigorously continue our drive
for union label products and union
services. The effect of our efforts is
already being felt by manufacturers
and merchants. Never in history has
there been a greater number of union
label-cOnscious consumers"

On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, d. c. QLNS).-Two of
the foremost friends of American la
Dor have come into the Presidents
cabinet in one week-Frank Murphy
to head the Department of Justice and
Harry l.. Hopkins to be Secretary of
Commerce.
Neither was named these high posts
on account Of known friendiness to
labor-though with the present Ad-
ministration, that wouldn't be any
sort Of a handicap. Both were named
because they had made good under
strenuous trial and difficult circum-
stances in other places.
Murphy's best known service is his
his peaceful settlement of the strike
in February of 1897 in the auto plants
at Flint, Michigan. Flint is a good
deal Of a semi-fascist town, like Gads-
den, Alabama, and JohnstoWn, Penn
sylyania. In all three places, the local
government is pretty much dominated
by big manufacturers. A state Judge,
Gadola, issued an injunction to throw
out the strikers.
Governor Murphy persuaded the
sheriff to withhold enforcing this writ
until the companies had agreed to ne
gotiate the disputes with the strikers.
1t took some days to bring the COM
panies to reason, but Governor Muir
ply finally did it. Then the strikers
quilted the plants themselves, without
violence or bloodshed-which would
have been pretty sure to come with an
eviction by force.
He was elected mayor to fill the
term Of a mayor who had been recall
ed, and ran smack into the depression
which hit Detroit harder than almost
any other city. He made a record,
both in local relief and in cutting other
city expenses to the bone.
Hopkins is known so widely and di-
rectly throughout the nation as Adj
ministrator Of the WPA that less need
be said about him. He did a splendid
job on relief; and one Of the things
he did there has given a suggestion
for his new job. In the WPA, he
showed remarkable skill in finding
people VINO could collect facts about
almost anything. As head Of the De-
partment of Commerce, he has in the
Bureau Of Standards one Of the great
est fact finding organizations in the
world.
Its tests are largely responsible for
the enormous improvements in auto
mobile tires. 1t is testing parachute
cloth for both army and navy avia-
ton service. 1t worked out a method
Of blind landings Of airpIanes.
The suggestion has been made that
Hopkins be asked to test materials Of
common use, and publish the results.

For Electric Range Buyers

If you want to know how well-insu-
lated the oven is when you go to buy
All electric range, try the "knocking
test"
Knock against the sides, top, and
door of the oven, advises the GUIDE.
A hollow sound means little or no in
sulation in that part-a warning sign
in any electric range.
A surer way to determine the pres
ence or absence of insulation is to ask
the salesman to unscrew the inside of
the oven door. You can then get a
graphic idea of the insulating material
used, it's thickness, and whether or not
the insulation will hold it's position.
Ovens hould be well-insulated
throughout, whether thickly or lightly.
Blanket Observation-Disclosures the mater
ial is all in one piece and is wrapped
around the oven-is best.
Be sure that the oven door fits tight
ly. If it doesn't, you'll be paying for
heat that is escaping into the room. 1t
also means uneven baking. Door and
frame of the oven should fit SO tightly
that you would have difficulty latching
the door when piece of cardboard
one-sixteenth of an inch thick is placed
between the door and the frame.

How To Tell Wool From a Fur
Felt Hat

How To Tell Wool From a Fur
Felt Hat
YOU don't have to know the whole
L process of making hat to spot
the difference between a wool felt and
fur felt. Advice of the CONSUM-
ERS' GUIDE, publication of the Con-
sumers' Division of the AAA, is to
finger the felt when in doubt.
A fur felt feels soft and silky when
worked with the fingers, while the
wool felt is likely to feel grainy, rough,
and stiff between the fingers.
Wool felt also often has a card
boardy feel to the fingers. Wool re-
quires more shellac stiffening because
it "felts" less readily and less perfectly
than fur. Because a wool felt contains
more stiffening, the shellac in the hat
will, after relatively short period,
granulate and the hat will become soft
and lose its shape.
Good wool felt hats are uniform in
quality throughout, with no sudden
Jumps or grains and with uniform
and clear color. Though they may not
be as silky and soft to the touch as
the more expensive fur kind, they will
nevertheless have a pliable texture.
The poorer the quality, the more near
ly the wool felt feels like cardboard,
and the more uneven the coloring and
thickness Of folt

How To Make a Good Cup of Tea
Good tea is what you make it. Here's
formula suggested by the CONSUM-
ERS' GUIDE for amateur tea brew
ers who want to be sure of good cup
of tea.
First, use only freshly boiled water.
Water that is allowed to boil and re-
boil loses most of the air it contains
and gives the tea flat taste.
Experts say that two-thirds of an
ounce of tea to quart of water is the
correct amount. Use more or less if
you like your tea weak or strong.
Immerse the tea leaves in the boiled
water from 8 to S minutes. Make the
tea in a warm teapot, preferably one
of porcelain.
After you have immersed the leaves
for the stated length of time, pour off
the tea into cups. Don't use the tea
leaves a second time. A good cup of
tea requires fresh tea leaves.
Drink cup of tea for anything but
food value Tea has no nutritive value
except for the sugar and milk or cream
that is added to it.
