U. S. BLANKETS

Cable dispatches have made no
reference to it, but one factor cred
tied by military authorities with
helping to maintain the morale of
bomb-battered Londoners has been
several hundred thousand American
blankets. They have been a life
saver for the harricd men, women
and children crowded into dank,
subterranean shelters.
Some time ago the British Red
Cross cabled a frantic appeal for
blankets for use in AFRAID shelters.
The American Red Cross decided to
buy the durable and warm blankets
used by the u S. army, which av
erage around Sc apiece in mass
wholesale lots, but Immediately ran
into serious tangles.
One was the fact that the govern
ment was heavily in the market for
blankets for the army and navy.
and if the Red Cross 'also entered
the market, prices would certainly
skyrocket So the Red Cross turned
to the defense commission bust
ness aces, who Immediately called
a conference of leading merchandise
ers from Macy's, Sears Roebuck,
Filene's, Montgomery Ward and
others.
BY long distance telephone these
experts Immediately made a flash
survey of U. S. mills. which re-
vealed the discouraging fact that the
mills didn't have zoo, 900 army-spec-
ification blankets on hand, even at
Sc per blanket. But there were am
pie seconds" available, blankets
rejected by government inspectors.
These could be bought at around 81
each.
And that was done. The British
got blankets without delay and at
a saving of 100000. Simultaneous
" American mills cleared their
shelves and the domestic market
was undisturbed.

LABOR TRUCES

Defense Commissioner Sidney
Hillman's crack labor advisory
board is making use of an old ad-
age, ian ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" to over
come one of the most serious OBJ
stacles to preparedness-work stop
page.
Quietly, the board has adopted
the rule of getting employers and
workers together on mutual agree
ment for the settlement of disputes
before activity is begun on a de-
tense project.
This new system ensures labor
the protection of its rights, and at
the same time safeguards the en-
ployer from loss through strikes or
jurisdictional squabbles between ri
val unions.
Illustrative of the plan is the
agreement arranged between the
contractors building the new six
ways shipyard at Orange, Texas,
for the Consolidated Steel corpora
ton of Los Angeles, and the unions.
1t was negotiated by Charles Mac
Gowen, able vice president of the
A. F. of L. boilermakers and a
member of the labor advisory board.
Before a spade was put to ground,
MacGowen secured from Harry
Morton, contractor representative,
an agreement guaranteeing payment
of prevailing wages, time-and-a-half
for overtime, double time for Sum
day and holiday work, and no lock-
outs. In exchange, Morton secured
from labor a no-strike guarantee

WASHINGTON known fact
regarding Britain's attempt to aid
Greece was that this time, the Brit
ish were not caught entirely nap
ping. Several weeks before the
Italian advance, they had struggled
one division of Australian troops into
Greece, and they are now reported
to be holding the passes in the rug
ged mountains of Macedonia.
However, the total Australian
force is not much more than &c, 900
men, a mere drop in the bucket
compared with Italy's 100000 troops
now advancing from Albania.
Biggest help the British can give
the Greeks, of course, is at sea.
There have been no major engage
ments between the British and Ital-
ian fleets chiefly because the Ital-
ians have kept pretty well out of
sight. But now, with the necessity
of sending constant stream of sup
plies to large army, the Italians
are sure to run into some major
engagements with the British.
Unquestionably, if the Greeks
should fall, it would be Jugoslavia S
turn next. With the support of the
Jugoslav army, the Greeks would
have real chance, for the Serbs
are among the best fighters in Eu-
rope. However, the Balkans seem
to be following the same policy of
the Dutch and Belgians; that is,
letting Hitler pick them off one by
one.

I'm addition to reports which al

Norwegians Are Warned.
Meanwhile, Norwegians were
warned semi officially today that
Germany was bent on ending their
"purposeless opposition as quickly
as possible"
The warning, issued by Dienst aus
Deutschland and other sources, was
directed particularly to such north
erly and central regions of the
northern kingdom where efforts
might be made to join Norwegian
troops and allied expeditionary
forces.
A serious attempt to bring about
such contact, it was said, would
merely make battlefields of certain
sections of Norway which might

With Germany straining every
nerve to hasten the "pacification"

forts on Norwegian soil were bound

cause of the demonstrated vulner-
ability of the British fleet to Ger

that English forces on the Lofoten
