Of the Daughters of the Revolution
one is easily persuaded to expect a
truly democratic and patriotic atti-
tude because of their high-fown appel
lation which ought to imply, if it means
anything worthy, an appreciation of
the wrongs inflicted upon the colonies
by Great Britain and the STRUGGLES
which colonists, colored and white, un-
dertook IN achieving American liberty
and independence. But the Daughters
have brought upon themselves on more
than a few occasions the accusation of
having never wholly accepted the prin-
clples Of practical demoncracv and of
leaning rather toward limited form
OF popular government dictated by q
snobbish and affected sense of superior
right to govern by reason of birth OF
acquired wealth. Displaying that sort
or self-satisfaction, they have been
charged with promoting teacher-oath
laws, compulsory flag salutes and other
fascist trends. In Washington the
Daughters admittedly set up a rule

To anyone who knows his "Wash-

not surprising. Comparison with more
advanced communities, where democ.

thrive but does so slowly and with
great difficulty, almost stiles hope thai

long stormy years of its existence #
has never omitted an opportunity IN
demonstrate its keen and sympathetic
interest in the problems of the colored
worker. 1t has always striven to or.
ganize garment workers as such. IFS
slogan has always been: 'NEITHER
THE NEEDLE, THE THREAD.
THE CLOTH, THE MACHINE NOR
THE PRESSING IRON CAN DIS.
TINGUISH BETWEEN THE COL.
OR OF THE HANDS THAT HOLD
AND OPERATE THEM" Upon this
enlightened and civilized height the L
L. G. W. U. has always stood.
SPEAKING RECENTLY ABOUT
THE colored garment worker Presi-
dent Dubinsky said 'From all that I
have seen and heard about our colored
brothers and sisters we have every rea-
son to be proud of them. They are
among the most intelligent, loyal and
devoted members of our unions. To me-
there is something fascinating and sa-
tisfying about the conduct of the col
ored union garment workers when once
they are convinced of the utter absence
of any color prejudice on the part of
their fellow workers and union officials.
On the picket line they are the bane Of
the scabs; they show marvellous cour-
age and inspiring loyalty to their IN
ion; then too, wherever they are, whe-
Their on the picket line, in union meet
ings or in the shop their inseparable
companions seem to be their songs,
their music, ready wit, laughter and
their rustic working class philosophy.
They seem to grasp easily the true
meaning of the word solidarity"
UPON OCCASION THE COLOR
ED garment worker may encounter
preiudiced white worker by his side.
Such white worker does not repre-
sent the spirit or philosophy Of the
|. L. G. W. U. Such a worker needs
to be educated in order that he or she
may be able to overcome the harmful
effects of propaganda encountered in
his daily life beyond the influence Of
the I. L. G. W. U. The leaders and rep
resentatives of the I. L. G. W. U. in
Boston as elsewhere reflect the spirit
and teachings of the I. L. G. W. U. and
in the hands of these capable and
emancipated leaders the colored gar
ment workers of Boston can rest their
fate without fear. In due season, as
the logical fruits of the educational
work Of the I. L. G. W. U. conducted
by Mark Starr and Fannia COIN, every
member of the l. L. G. W. .. will be
as thoroughly reliable and emancipated
as President Dubinsky and every other
leader of the Union.
THE COLORED GARM E Mt
WORKERS now entering the I. L.
G. W. U. have great deal to gain ma
terially and other wise by being mem
bers of our Union. They also have a
great opportunity to constructiyely
demonstrate to friendly eyes that the
colored worker has at last become OF
age. The many native gifts which have
characterized our stormy story In
American life will find in the ranks OF
the 1. L. G. W. U. a deeper sense OF
appreciation than has been our fate
thus far in the past.

IT is MOST ENCOURAGING to
note how the colored garment workers
of Boston are at last responding to the
call of the I. L. G. W. U. and are be-
coming organized within the folds of
that most progressive of trade unions
in the United States.
UPON PREVIOUS VISITS TO
Boston, one was struck by the appar-
ent hostility Of these workers to the
principle of unionism. Upon inquiry,
the explanation which these workers
and their friends would offer for then
unwillingness to become organized
could be summed up in one word
FEAR. Of course, FEAR has always
been recognized as a legitimate child
of ignorance. No one fears that of
which he knows. 1t is always the un-
known which arouses fear. But the I'M
willingness of these workers in the past
to enter the ranks Of the l. L. G. W,
U. obviously had another and equally
important basis.
WE WHO ARE FAMILIAR with
the technique Of the employers Of labor
know how much importance they place
upon having always available morgan.
lied workers outside as a means of
maintaining low wage levels and long
work days inside the shops. Large
groups of workers in given industry
outside the ranks Of their organized
brothers and sisters represent the
sword Of Damacles toward which the
employer is always pointing. "If you
don't accept my terms l can easily re,
fill your place with those Italian
Jewish or colored workers, ETC." as the
case may be. Immediately the organ
lied workers are gripped by fear
fear Of what those unorganized Ital.
ian, Jewish, colored workers, ETC., out
side would do in the event the organ.
lied workers inside the union decide tc
strike for the wages and working con.
ditions they feel they are entitled tc
receive.
IHE FAILURE OF IHE Boston
Colored garment workers, in the past
to organize was due to their fear OF
unionism. As a result of our daily ex-
periences in American life, most col
Ored people have developed an almost
instructive sense of suspicion toward
their white fellow citizens. Inside every
outstretched white hand the average
colored person looks for a sword
Every friendly white voice, he inter.
prets as the voice Of Esau but the hanC
of Jacob. Fortunately for human pro.
gress these fears and suspicious are
not always well founded. The long
tragic history of the race in America
is literally perfumed by the gallant
deeds Of numerous white men anC
women who made great sacrifices IL
order that the colored American may
gain equality with all other individual;
in American life.
IN THE CASE OF the l. L. G. W
U. there is no basis upon which a col
ored garment worker may rest any feal
or suspicion. In the realm of race rela
lions, no organization of white work.
ers has done more to eliminate color
religious and nationality prejudice

Dear Mrs. Post. I'm a bride Of
several months. Today comes the
first .stickler" of etiquette. and
do so want to know what to do
since the other people concerned
are the very ones / want most TO
impress favorably. In the mail
today, addressed to Mr.. and Mrs,
came three visiting cards. all I'M
written upon and two engraved
with Mr.. John Browns name and
the other one was Mrs. Browns
card. What in the world do they
mean in sending these cards in
this manner?
Answer: II means merely that
Mrs. John Brown and her husband
are paying a visit upon you be-
cause you are a bride and because
they were either invited to your
wedding or else they received an
nouncements Of your marriage.
According to yesterdays custom.
you would now go and leave two
of your husbands cards and one
of your own upon the Browns but
in this modern day the fashion of
such mechanically formal card
leaving has gone very much out
of usage, and you merely accept
the fact that Mrs. Brown shows
you that she knows" you" and
forget about 1t. In the event that
you give a large and formal party
of some sort, you know you are
privileged to invite the Browns If
you choose to include them.

The short couture is really short
hair all over the head about two
inches in length Then, at front,
back and sides, the short locks are

head and the ends are curled in

swept herself. AT least once be-
tween shampoos she'll moisten the
short locks, separate them into
tiny strands and wrap each strand
around her favorite kind of curler..
Afterward, she'll comb out the
curls. then brush them over her
forefinger. Or she may simply
brush them thoroughly and forget
about ringlets, thereby achieving
a flattering variation of the once
popular windblown bob.
There is a great deal of talk
about bangs. with several excel
