Foreign Observation-Disclosures
Defense

We are unalterably opposed to our
own nation becoming involved in
European conflicts. We favor the ex-
ercise of neighborly and mediatorial
influence by our Government in all eff
forts to promote peace. But, in doing
this, we insist that our Government
pursue a judicious policy, exercising
care and caution and firm determin-
alton to avoid involvement in Euro
pean wars.
We ask Congress to approve ade-
quate appropriations for national de-
fense so we can courageously main
tain our neutrality and eliminate any
threat of invasion of our rights or
territory by aggressor nations.

Unemployment
Unemployment remains our most
grievous national problem.
The American Federation of Labor
is not willing to tolerate even the idea
of permanent unemployment. We
know that idle plants can be brought
into operation, idle capital can find
investment in productive private en-
terprise and idle men and women can
be put to work producing the goods
they need for a decent living. Our
nation has all the elements necessary
to provide an adequate living fo1
every American family. We lack only
the proper coordination of effort.
We recommend that Congress create
National Advisory Council on which
labor, farmers and consumers shoulc
be represented, as well as Government
and industry, in order to bring about
such coordination.
We further recommend the exten.
sion of the six-hour day, fve-day
week by legislation or collective bar
gaining to lift industry out of it:
stagnation, to provide more jobs, tt
increase consumer power and to raise
the level of American living stand
ards.
We favor the appropriation of al
adequate appropriation for unemploy
ment relief. We insist that the pre-
vailing wage principle be restored t.
work relief programs. We urge tn
creation of permanent public work
program to take up unemployment
slack.
National Labor Relations Act
Amendments
We strongly urge Congress to enac
promptly the amendments to tn
National Labor Relations Act intro
duced at the last session on behalf o
the American Federation of Labor b.
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, an
Representative Barden of North Car
olina.
Events have placed special emphasi
on the imperative and immediate nee
for our amendment which abolishe
the present National Labor Relation
Board and substitutes in its place
new Federal Labor Board of fiv
members. Thus a complete house
cleaning of the biased board and it
biased personnel can be effected.
Along with this amendment we ca
for two other vital changes in tn
law which are included in the Walls
and Barden bills.
The first would make the boar
give the workers the opportunity
decide for themselves in each case b
majority vote whether the unit fo
collective bargaining shall be tn
members of the trade in which the

this: Multiply the price of pound G

If dressed chicken is selling, for in
stance, at 30 cents a pound, draw
chicken of the same size and qualit
and selling for 40 cents would be n
more expensive relatively"

Take Care of Your Rug
Rug labels that give complete d
rections for cleaning are sometime
hard to find, but here are some tip
on how to care for your rug
Use vacuum cleaner once da
on travelled areas; give the rug con
plete vacuuming once a week. Clean
ers equipped with both suction an
a brush or beater are most efficien
Carpet sweepers remove only the SUI
face dirt from the rug. Hard sweep
ing with a broom usually drives NOR
dirt into the rug than it takes ou
If you do use broom, choose on
with soft bristles.
Clean a rug in the direction of tn
pile. Brush the pile lightly when yo
have finished so that it will lie all j
one direction.
Never beat rug; this may snap tn
fbers and loosen the foundation.
Shampooing the rug at home-ur
less the rug is "A small one--is ais
bad practice. Send it to a reliabl
and experienced professional cleaner.
So-called 'dust-ceaning' may be il
furious to the rug unless done by
reliable dealer who assures you tn
