reluctantly yield. On July Ia, 1889,
the Board published and made eff
fective new rules which conform to
many of the major proposals Of the
American Federation of Labor.
"The more fundamental changes are
I, as follows:
81. Labor organizations whose con-
tracts are involved in Board proceed
ings will be made parties in every in
stance to such proceedings.
"2 The minimum period between the
issuance Of complaint and the date
Of hearing has been increased from
five to ten days.
"3. The Board will entertain an en-
ployer petition for certifcation where
two or more labor organizations claim
a majority.
"a. Extension has been made in re-
gard to the right of labor organiza-
tions to appeal to the Board from a
dismissal of charges by regional di
rector.
IS. The power to assign trial ex-
aminers has been shifted from the
regional directors to the Board.
"6. The right to obtain subpoenas
has been somewhat enlarged.
Secret Ballot Elections Provided
"In addition to these formal changes
in it's rules and regulations, the Board
has by decision effected change
which corresponds to one of our
amendments. The proposed amend
ment provides:
"'Elections by secret ballot shall be
ordered whenever it is requested by a
labor organization (Which is a party
to the proceedings) -. ,
"This amendment was designed to
overcome the evil of certifying GER
tain representatives of majorities es-
tablished by so-called pledge cards
whose trustworthiness was challenged.
On July 13, 1889, while the hearings
were still in progress, the Board in
the Cudahy Packing Company case
directed that an election be held re-
gardless Of the showing of majority
by cards when such majority was
disputed. The Board abandoned it's
former practice and said:
"'. Although in the past we have
certified representatives without an
election upon showing of the sort
here made, we are persuaded by our
experience that the policies Of the
Act will best be effectuated if the
question Of representation which has
arisen is resolved in an election by
secret ballot"
Plant Elections Authorized
The Executive Council also noted
as important to the American Fedora
ton of Labor the decisions of the
National Labor Relations Board or
dering secret ballot elections of the
production and maintenance employees
of number in the various plants of
a number of corporations, the Board
directing that the "notes be conducted
on the basis of separate plant elections
as contended for by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and opposed by other
organizations.

sailles Treaty and to safeguard against
the long train of calamities and de-
pressions that naturally result in a
war of major Importance.
League Purposes Endorsed
The meeting adjourned with an en-
thusiastic vote of approval of the fol-
lowing purposes of the League for
Human Rights, Freedom and Democ-
racy:
eve affirm it as the purpose of this
meeting and of the League for HUI
man Rights, Freedom and Democracy;
"1.-To mobilize the forces Of labor
and it's friends in defense and extern
sion of the principles and practices of
democracy, freedom and human rights;
"2.-To bring about more concrete
and specific understanding of the ad-
vantages Of democracy as way of
organized social existence;
"3.-To oppose vigorously, by or
ganized effort, the subversive and in
sidious operations of relationships
and their agents within this country;
"4-To reaffrm our faith in the
Bill of Rights, by actively and jeal-
ously guarding every provision there
of;
"5.-To oppose every manifestation
of racial, religious or economic big
otry and to be especially alert against
the propaganda of bigorty directed
against our nation by the Dictator
ships;
"6.-To extend this defense, so far
as may be possible, to all the nations
of the Americas, in cooperation with
their labor movements, and all other
liberal groups to the end that they
may be assisted in resisting the en-
croachments of alien dictatorship
propaganda;
Ito safeguard the rights of the
masses of our people against unwar-
ranted bureaucratic oppression that
might arise in times of emergencies,
so far as may be compatible with
national welfare"
The League for Human Rights,
Freedom and Democracy will immedi-
ately carry on it's campaign to organ
ize forces of labor and democracy in
this country against the totalitarian
propaganda invasion from it's offices

need of an overhauling.
Labor Board Adopts New Rules
"The hearings, too, succeeded in
breaking down the obstinate refusal
of the Board to change a single rule
or adopt a new device for fairer and
more efficient administration of the
Act. Only after members of Congress,
convinced of the justice and fairness
of the proposals of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, demanded that the
Board adopt these proposals, did it

of employment service for help in get
ting new jobs or better jobs.
"The employment service is one
agency about whose location in the
Department of Labor no question de-
veloped. 1t is primarily labor serv-
ice. 1t was therefore a most unex-
pected and unwarranted reversal of
what we had built up by half a GEN.
tury of struggle and persistent effort,
when, under authority to reorganize
governmental departments, the Exec
utive Order of the President trans
ferred the U. S. Employment Service
to the new Federal Security Agency,
and to which were transferred also
the U. S. Public Health Service, the
Office of Education and the National
Youth Administration.
"The American Federation of Labor
believes that from the standpoint of
efficient management a much wiser
decision would have been to have sep
arated the direct assistance functions
of the Social Security Board from it's
insurance function, and to have trans
ferred old age benefits and unemploy-
ment compensation to the Department
of Labor, where the administration of
these agencies so directly affecting
the welfare of labor could be unified
and coordinated with all of the under
takings to promote the welfare of
those who work.
Transferring the employment serv-
ice from labor's own Department to
any other agency, however good in
itself, takes from the Department of
Labor the very heart of the functions
it is directed to perform and sets a
precedent which unless reversed, will
make the Department of Labor only
an empty name. Disemembering of
state departments of labor has been
serious during the year, but this blow
at the Federal Department Of Labor
nullifies the act creating the Depart
ment
"We recommend that the American
Federation of Labor do everything in
it's power to reverse the decision dis
membering the Department Of Labor
and that we be prepared to insist that
the functions and the services Of the
Department Of Labor be increased
and expanded by adequate appropria-
ton and the necessary authorizing
legislation until the Department of La
Dor is really able to promote the well
fare Of all those dependent on work
for incomes.
Scope Should be Extended
"Our conception of the scope of the
groups to be served by the Depart
ment of Labor has steadily expanded.
The coverage of labor law should be
expanded to cover all labor--whether
agricultural, domestic, industry, COM
merce or service. The functions of
the Department Of Labor should ex-
pand accordingly and the Department
should be made truly the Department
of Labor, so that labor's voice may
be heard in the Presidents Cabinet
where decisions affecting labor are

which have been put forth to conclude
peace with the C. l. 0. which would
provide for return of the c. I. O..

"The facts set forth in this report
are supported by the records which
have been made. We must leave to
the honest, sincere and calm deter
mination of the membership of the
American Federation of Labor and of
working men and women of the ma
ton, the question as to who is re-
sponsible for the origination of the di-
vision within the ranks of labor and
for it's continuation in a most ag-
gravated and destructive form.
"Our committee still stands, clothed
with authority to function, ready to
resume negotiations when it is accord
ed an opportunity to do so.
"We have opened the door of the
American Federation Of Labor wide
and completely. We have invited
those who left the American Fedora
ton of Labor to return; we have
urged them to come back home and
settle differences within the family of
labor in a sensible, honest and fair
way.
"In doing this we have been in
spired by genuine desire to estab-
lish here in America a solid, united,
labor movement through which the
economic, social and industrial inter-
ests of the workers of the nation can
be fully and completely served"

the man in the street, as one exam
ines the totalitarian state and judged
by the results of their policy and their
program, one can say-and is impelled
to say without the slightest hesitation
that it means death not only to the
trade union movement but death to
freedom, death to the right of re-
ligious conscience, death to education
and science; indeed to those very as
poets of our life which we count as
among its most precious possessions.
When labor opposes the totalitaian
state and all that it stands for, it does
so out of some knowledge of the eff
feet Of totalitarianism on the labor
movement"
A declaration that the United States
must take the initiative in mobilizing
all the constructive forces of the
world for the difficult task of world
reconstruction which lies ahead and
without which the present war will
have been fought in vain, was made
by Mr.. Kerensky.

Mr.. Morones gave this warning,
"The insidious and brutal hand of to-
talitarianism reaches across oceans
and across international boundary
lines to corrupt and break down the
institutions of democracies and it
even seeks out some of its processing
leaders and it is critically necessary
that there be agencies on guard, par
ticularly such agencies as the League
which is the sponsor of this meeting

Nazi Hand Is Long
Mr.. Morones continued, 1--WE know
that Nazi, Fascist and Communist
forces have actually invaded the ma
tions of these American continents,
in preparation for whatever eventual
ity the madness of their brutal re-
gimes may conceive. We know that
in some of the twenty-one nations the
advance preparations have been costly
and thorough. We have reason to be-
ieve that there have been alliances
with men who speak with the tongues
Of democracy, while their hands are
clasped in embrace with the alien
forces of Naziism, Fascism and Com
munism.

results Of research undertaken by two

tural Adjustment Administration re-
ports.
"Tonics, vacuum cups, and other
cures will not make hair grow or
flourish, because hair--like fngernaIls
and toenails-is another form Of the
horny layer Of skin that is lifclcss
bristlc
"The best thing you can do to pre-
vent badness is to shampoo your hair
at least once every two weeks, using
a pure toilet soap. Brush your hair
thoroughly every day to spread the oil
which the glands in the skin of your
scalp produce. Massage your scalp
often-not rubbing it violently, but
pressing your fingers firmly into the
scalp and moving it about over the
skull.
:" If your hair gets too oily, wet it
with alcohol and then rub off the al
cohol quickly before 1T dries. If your
hair is too dry, brush it vigorously,
and then rub in a small amount of
petroleum, or olive oil, or sweet al
mond oil.
"There is no scientific proof that
if you wet your hair every day you
will damage it.
Badness resulting from sickness is
not always permanent, as the hair
may grow back again Of its own ac-
cord But badness that comes with
age can be slowed down only by reg
ular care of the hair.
ITO remove excess hair, shaving is
safer and less expensive than using
depilatories."

Owing to the dangers confronting
youth in war-torn world, the Gov

The commission warned that un-
less progress is made toward these
goals "our national survival" and
our form Of government" may be
threatened. The role Of youth is
crucial, the commission pointed out,
because no part Of the populate
