the fellow who comes back from
a trip and then proceeds to tell
everyone about IL.
II he is long winded he will go
into details about the trip-how
many miles he made the first day
how many the secondhand about

what price he paid for hotel ac-
commodations and he'll 60 into
detail about the food he enjoyed
at certain restaurants. In fact
his gastronomic delights have a
way Of becoming his listeners in

II he took any pictures on his
trip-run for your life-or you'll
be expected to emit so many obs

. theory on this subject and Will
allow others to judge Its merit.
Due to the lax moral code OF
this day It Is not necessary for
the boys to get married. They
can have their cake and eat II. too.
This IL totally the fault of the
young girls, who stupidity inquire
themselves. and all more sensible
girls, too, by their modern ideas
and practices. l believe that II all

fit all girls and women decidedly.
as well as bring about more har-
mony between the sexes and pro-
mote happier marriages.
The boys are having II too easy
for themselves and what they need
IL something to shock them back
into a state of clean mindedness
and put some sense Of response
bility into their over-sexed men,
talities.
However. this action would take
the whole-hearted cooperation OF
every young girl. both good and
bad, but in the end the reward
would be great for all girls.
Self-rcspecting girls must stay
home evenings or else they won't
stay decent long, because the boys
make it plain they are seeking the
companionship only Of girls who
make a date worth while"

Popular Bond Follows Gone
With the Wind With Tic

Gray Gordon and His Tic Toe Rhy-
thm, nationally popular radio record
ing and dance band have just COM
pleted an outstanding engagement at
the exclusive Westchester Country
Club in New York-Prior to this the
band won outstanding recognition at
the Edison Hotel, New York City,
where they broadcast nightly over
NBC. The band comes to the Ceramic
for one day, Sunday, through arrange
ments completed today with Consoli-
dated Radio Artists, Inc.
Gray Gordon has more than an or
binary dance orchestra-he has COM
plete musical comedy revue at his
command, with many outstanding vo-
calists-featuring Cliff Grass, to say
nothing Of the featured work done by
the comedian William North, and ac-
Gordon solos by Carl Carelli.
This popular orchestra has played
such well-known places as the st.
Anthony, San Antonio, Texas; Casa
Madrid, Louisville, Kentucky; Look
out House, Covington, Kentucky; two
seasons at the Chase Hotel, St. Louis,
Missouri (totaling "a weeks). They
have also appeared for long term en-
gagements at the Brown Palace Hotel,
Denver; Claridge Hotel, Memphis,
Tenn; Euclid Beach, Cleveland, Ohio;
Merry Gardens in Chicago; Edison
Hotel, New York City and the ex-
elusive Westchester Country Club in
New York.
Gray Gordon is the only popular or
chestra contracted by the Victor re-
cording company for series of rec
ords, that has been transferred by the
Victor Company from their 35c Blue

for the barest subsistence living
standard for a family Of four in the
South. Labor does not intend to wait
for the Fair Standards Act to raise
the minimum to 40 cents in 1945. We
set as our goal the following:
By 1912 minimum of 40 cents an

By 1945 a minimum of so cents an

Need of United Organizing Campaign
TO carry out the high purpose of
this declaration and to establish a
sound labor policy throughout the
Southland, we call upon the National
and international Unions, State Fed
erations Of Labor, Central Bodies and
all Volunteer organizers to unite in
an intensive organizing campaign
among the workers Of the South Only
the workers through their trade unions
can organize the wage earners in a
Free Society. That work if it is to
be successful, must enlist the united
support of local unions and General
Bodies in every community. Effective
organization Of the workers is the only
guarantee for the workers that labor
laws when enacted will be enforced
Our motto must be:
Labor Forward in the South-Labol
Forward for Justice, Brotherhood and
Democracy.

Goose Picking Season

Columbus, Ohio, (OLNS).-Ohio
motorists are right now being made
tax conscious as they dig down for
that seven or ten bucks to pay for
1910 license tags or else leave the
old jaloppy in the garage after
April 1st.
But then they have this consola-
tion-Governor Bricker has practi-
cally decided not to call the Legis-
lature back because cities can use
25 per cent of the license tag funds
for relief, and by borrowing in an
ticipation of delinquent tax collec-
tions, cities will be able to get by.
If called back the Legislature
might find some new necessity to
tax or they might raise the ante on
motorists in line with the old famil-
lar custom of taking feathers from
the goose that squawks least"

Labor Fights All DictatOrships

Washington, d. C.-Organized la
boris adherence of all dictatorship
was vigorously expressed by George
Meany, secretary-treasurer of the
American Federation of Labor, in a
radio speech here "The A. f. of L..
has from the beginning" Meany said
"been just as vigorously opposed to
Communism as it has been opposed to
the Fascist or Nazi theories or phil
osophies. We have never been able
to distinguish between a dictatorship
under Nazism, and a dictatorship un-
der Communism or Fascism. All have
been to us equally reprehensible,
equally detrimental from an economic
standpoint and equally destructive of
the cherished freedoms which are
basic and fundamental in our form of
government"

ENFORCE FIREMEN'S LAW

Columbus, y. S).-George A.
Strain, Director of Industrial Rela-
tions, and Nelson Hovey, Assistant
Director, have filed mandamus suits
in the Hamilton County and Mont
gomery County Courts to compel the
cities of Cincinnati and Dayton to con-
form to the State law requiring them
to give fremen a 72-hour week.
City officials in these two cities
have refused to conform to the State
law, contending that they are exempt
by reason of their home rule charters.
In Cincinnati the firemen now work "a
hours a week.
the benefits provided under the sys-
tenn are payable with respect to a

A currently insured" individual is
one who has earned wages of $50 in
each of six quarters during the IL
quarters elapsing Immediately prior to
his death. Survivors benefits for de-
pendent children and for widows with
such children in their care are payable
if the worker was either currently"
or "fully insured"
The following list shows the benefits
payable under the revised law:
/. Primary insurance benefits, pay
able monthly to fully insured wage
earners when they stop working at or
after G5.

To Open Window

Trenton, N. J.-At the March 2
meeting of Local Union No. 81 Broth
er William Cameron presided. There
was a very good crowd in attendance
and some very important questions
were up for discussion.
Several of the brothers have decided
to wear a mask at the next meeting
as there was so much smoke you could
hardly see. One brother was prac-
tically overcome, but we don't know
whether it was the smoke or not. A
window was opened to relieve the men
but this was bad. Just before ad-

came in through an open window and
Brother A. Lieble was the victim.
