WOODS VIRGNITY

Washington, D. C.-New wool has
been known as virgin" wool for CEN
turies. But it may not be long before
the "virgin" will be dropped. That
will probably occur when the bill for
honest wool labelling gets through
Congress. Manufacturers may be re-
quired to tell how much reworked wool
(shoody) has been substituted for new
wool in fabric, as is now proposed
in the bill. The only difference will be
that the ''virginity" of wool will be as
sumed unless otherwise stated. Most
consumers do not know that the rea-
son many "woop clothes do not now
give satisfactory service is because
new wool constitutes less than half
of the fibers used in wool manufac-
ture.

Guild Would Stop
Replacing Of Boys
By Union Printers
By JOSEPH A. WISE

indianapolis 0LNS)-While in this
city in reference to some personal
matters, ascertained some interest
ing facts pertaining to activities Of
the American Newspaper Guild.
The New York Times, through some
means that was not satisfactorily ex-
planned, has been able to employ 80
unskilled persons in it's composing
room. These employees are called
runners" or "boys."
big Six" Objects
New York Typographical Union No.
6 C"Big Six") objected to the employ
ment of these boys" 1t has been the
policy of the International Typograph-
ical Union for many years to insist
that only its members shall be employ
ed in newspaper composing rooms.
The management of the New York
Times was persuaded finally to re-
place nine of the "boys" with nine
journeymen members of "Big Six"
Guild Files Complaint
The "boys" were paid So a day,
while the union scale for journeymen
is $l2 a day.
The American Newspaper Guild
filed complaint with the National La
Dor Relations Board to the effect that
it had been Disseminated against and
it's jurisdictional rights had been in
vaded when the New York Times re-
placed $3-a-day "boys' with $12 a
day journeymen printers.
At Wilkes-Barre, Pa, all daily
newspapers have been suspended since
last October, when a strike was called
by the American Newspaper Guild.
More than 200 printing tradesmen
were thrown out of work completely
This has cost the printing trades
unions an enormous sum of money.
The strike was called, it is alleged
because the CIO did not like the po-
litical policy Of the Wilkes Barre
daily newspapers.
The American Newspaper Guild
continues to boast that it has won a
great "victory" every time that it has
been able to put newspaper plant
out of business completely.

Research Facilities For
Small Business Proposed

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Hop
kins has urged Congress to provide
research facilities for small business
so that 100000 small business men
will have a better chance to make
money for themselves and their l5,-
100000 employees. Under the proposal,
simplified accounting methods, con-
sumer demand, price and market
trends, trading areas, taxes, store To-
cation, local building codes, capital
requirements and production distribu-
tion and marketing techniques could
be studied. Describing such facilities
as vital needs" Hopkins said, our
larger enterprises are able to under
take extensive research, while the
limited resources of small businesses
have prevented them from undertak-
ing similar necessary studies.

pondering over the important SUBJ
ject whether traffic fatalities will
be lower this year than in 1898,
when 32.40O persons lost their lives.
Eighty-six we're killed on the streets
Of Washington.
The figures at the present time
are very close. only a per cent

may happen and it is up to motor
lists and pedestrians alike to do
their part in making the holidays
really merry and devoid of highway
tragedies. America is at peace, al
though the years casualty list
would make it seem otherwise.
The toll in the National Capital
causes rather jumpy graph to be
outlined. In 1880 statistics show
that II we're killed, IS in 1881, 1923

In 1885, 80 in 1886, LOG in 1897 and
sc in 1888. This year up to the
present writing the death toll is in
the low 80s. So 1t Is still possible
for Washington to show a slight
improvement.
In the national figures, according
to survey made for the first 10
months of the year by the National
Safety Council, 81 States showed a
better record this year than last

that California should take lessons

raised to four.
The irony of the outcome was that
if South had been allowed to be the
declarer at four spades the contract
would have been set one trick. With
North the declarer and East the
opening leader, the lead was diff
ferent from what it otherwise would
have been and the contract was
made. With West the leader, the
play would have been such that she
would have made two heart tricks
East would have won diamond
trick, with his ace, and West would
have trumped his return of a dia-

have gotten the lead to take out
trumps.

WIN NOI ) llTSL jump 10 TWO
hearts over one diamond, South
knew that his partner had a big
hand. This was further confirmed
when he made his second jump to
four no trump over two no trump,
and they succeeded in reaching a
grand slam contract in no trump.
1t was fortunate for East with his
king-queen of spades and his king of
| clubs that he did not double. When
West opened the four of clubs from
his very weak holding. South real
ized the king of that suit must be
held by East and that he could not
expect to win the trick by allowing
it to come around to his queen.
That would smash his grand slam at
the outset. He reasoned it would
be necessary to attempt squeeze
play. Accordingly. he went up with
the ace in dummy. Then he led
| hearts.
On the first five. East found 1t
easy to discard two clubs and the
eight of spades after his two hearts
had gone. When the nine of hearts
was led. East was squeezed. If he
discarded his lone king of clubs,
South's queen which he was still
holding, would be good. If he threw
a spade honor, North's spades would
all be winners. He reluctantly part
ed with small diamond which was
carefully noted by South. who could
now read his hand as plainly as If
1t lay upon the table.
South led the king OF diamonds
from dummy and then the jack
which he overlook with the queen.
The lead of the fourth diamond now
obliged East to give up either the
king of clubs or a spade honor. If
the former South's queen was good,
and also the spade, then North's
spades would be winners. There was
no escape. The squeeze" had
worked, South claimed seven ma

Usually the acute squeeze" play
comes on the 11th trick. This one
was especially interesting because
it began on the seventh trick and
was continuous. Both sides were

The Mexican Campaign
(Cincinnati Fnouirerl


 While the United States is just beginning to toy with the problems of presidential campaign year Mexico already is pllngng into the welter of mani festoes accusations, and rejonders which constitute a presidential campaign. The Cardenas Adminlstra- tion popular but not very successful has candidate in the person of General Manuel Camacho. Although a General like virtually all Mexican presidential timber Camacho is the spokesman of the dominant labor unions.
 More recently General Juan Almazan has tossed his military cap into the ring, with platform distinct ly on the conservative side In patent bid for sup port from Washington General Almazan neglected to refer to the oil appropriation question This leaves Washington free to believe Amazan will reconsider the question and leaves Amazan free to tell Mexican voters by ndirecton that he really doesn't expect to concede anything to the foreigner.
 It is too much to expect a fair, enlightened poll of the electorate of Mexico when the time comes to elect President The tradition of free elections is not well enough established. Yet President Cardenas and his candidate Camacho vulnerable. The eco- homie bunders of the Cardenas regime have been so great that the Mexican Government today is just as dependent mama from Washington as the humblest WPA worker in Arkansas.
 Literally the good-neighbor policy calls for abSo- lute nonntervention in Mexican politics. But that would mean in effect support of Cardenas and his chosen successor Would be intervention" to stop buying Mexican silver and plunge Mexico into dis astrous depression which might become armed revolution? Must we continue subsidizing Mexico indefinitely to escape the onus of intervening? These are nice questions for Secretary Hull and Under secretary Wees. They are also important to Mexico
