Green Coils For Defense;
Pledges a. F. Of L. Support

New York City ULNS).-In a ring
ing speech declaring that adequate de-
fense must be the chief concern of the
United States at this moment, William
Green, President Of the American
Federation of Labor, addressing a
large New York audience giving a
dinner in his honor chided chose well
meaning Americans who think that
we can close our eyes to the blitz-
krieg in Europe, turn our backs to the
Atlantic, discount the facts of mod
ern life and still be safe"
Speaking before an audience of
1900 men and women presided over by
Max Zaritsky president of the United
Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers
Union, A. f. Of L., Matthew Woll,
vice president of the Federation and
Senator Robert F. Wagner as honor
ary chairman, Green called for ade-
quate defense so that America may be
ready "to meet force with force, urged
all possible aid to the Allies short of
war and demanded outlawing of the
fifth column" of Nazis and Com
munists.
During the course Of the dinner,
the A. F. of l.. president was present
ed volume of testimonials containing
tributes from many persons prominent
in the nations political and cultural
life, including Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, Governor Herbert Lehman
and Mayor La Guardia.
The policy of closing our eyes to
what is going on abroad is "the very
policy that the dictators of Europe
would like US to adopt because it is
the only policy which would render
America defenseless," President Green
declared.
He said that the American Fedora
tion of Labor members, whose support
of the defense program he pledged
do not believe that President Roose-
welt and other leaders of the nation
"are trying to drive US into the Euro

WHAT'S THE TIME?

Louisville, Ky.-Many people don't
have enough clocks, house furnishing
experts say. If there are only one or
two clocks in a house, there's a lot
of waste motion in going from room
to room or calling to others, for the
time. Brown & Williamson Tobacco
Corporation, makers of Raleigh union
made cigarettes, points out that the
need for additional clocks can be filled
by the fine Hammond electric clock
given for coupons packed with Ra-
leighs and other union made B. & w.
products. The clock has a beautiful
finished hand rubbed case, with front
panel of rare Burma Padouk.

Business Organ Lduds
Metal Workers Census

New York, N. Y.-The Journal of
Commerce, in an article entitled "a
Skilled Worker Inventory" comments
favorably on the census Of all skilled
metal trades workers to determine
how many unemployed are available
for work on the national defense pro-
gram which has been initiated by the
A. F. of l.. Metal Trades Department.
The article said:
"The independent survey of avail
able skilled labor being taken by the
Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation Of Labor will
greatly aid the training program of
the National Defense Commission.
"The metal trades expect to have a
roster shortly of men Immediately
available for defense jobs and those
who can be prepared with minor
retraining.
"The metal trades unions represent
some 100000 skilled workers. Many
now at work on peacetime jobs can
be retained quickly for armament
work. Boilermakers, for example, can
make armored cars, and automobile
mechanics can become aircraft me-
chanics.
"The metal trades leaders of the A.
F. of l.. point out to the National De-
fense Commission that the 100000
learners now being trained in $4,000
vocational schools can be doubled by
increa sing shifts in the schools Some
155 engineering colleges, in addition,
could accommodate a further 100000
learners

Telegraphers' Help Offered

Chicago 0LNS).-In a letter to
Attorney General Robert H. Jackson,
President Frank B. Powers of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union Of
fers the services Of the unions Off
GERS and members in the Department
of Justices work Of policing the ma
tion from "subversive elements which
have crept into the telegraph indus
try"
Powers reminded the Attorney Cen
eral of recent testimony before the
Dies committee that, at least $50 men,
bers of the CIO-affiliated American
Communications Association on board
merchant ships are Communists and
said that the Commercial Telegraph
ers' Union has a tradition Of full
realization and responsibility for the
secrecy of kilograms"
Reds Barred by Union
The telegraphers' head pointed out
that the 1885 convention Of his union
barred any member Of the CTU from
becoming a member of a communistic
organization. He said in his opinion
this would include Nazi or Fascist or
CARNATIONS and went on to tell Jack
son:
"Registration of aliens will not
catch the even more dangerous Am
erican citizens who have become the
puppets and camp-followers of the
Stalin-Hitler fifth column in the
United States. We believe that tele-
graph workers who are in daily con-
tact with every city in the nation and
with steamships on the coastal and
high seas regions in this hemisphere
can detect suspicious actions and thus
be of great service to your depart
ment."
In another letter, to Chairman
James l.. Ely Of the Federal Com
munications Commission, President
Powers extended the fullest cooper
alton of the union in the commissions
activities "directed towards protection
of communications from foreign-dom-
mated misuse or abuse"

CHILDREN'S
FRIENDSHIPS
MARY STARCK KERR

81 wish we could move from this
neighborhood," said Mrs. Welborn.
Benny brings home dirty little young
sters to play with him, and he learns
bad manners from them, and then
when l criticize them, he defends them
hotly."
"I'd send them home," said Mrs.
Multer, "and punish him if he brought
them back again."
"What would you do, Mrs. Will
liams ?" asked Mrs. Welborn, turning
to an older neighbor who was with
them. "Did you ever have problem
of this kind?'
What mother does not, if she lives
in a congested neighborhood like
this? ?" Mrs. Williams answered. "And
it makes a good deal of difference to
the character of the child, whether
such problems are solved in the best
way. One of my friends did as Mrs
Multer suggested; she broke up some
undesirable friendships in childhood,
but her boy did not learn from expert
ence how to choose friends, and in
later life, made mistake in his mar
riage in soncequence"
"What did you do?" asked Mrs.
Multer.
"Not liking dirty children, as COM
panions for my boy, Tommy, at first l
sent them home to wash, but discover
ing that often the results were quite
unsatisfactory, then provided a wash
basin, soap, water and towels for them.
Tommy always washed first to pre-
vent any embarrassment.
"Then, the manner and even the
morals of some of the children were
far from desirable, but l did not criti-
cize the children for that. Instead,
when l talked to Tommy about them,
l commended some good quality l had
found in one of them-and told Tommy
to watch out for evidences of traits
worth copying. pointed out, however,
that many of these boys had not had a
chance to learn some of the things we
knew, and we ought to help them find
out how to think and act better in GER
tain respects than they were then
doing"
"And how did Tommy like that %
asked Mrs. Welborn.
"He responded to the idea in a fine
spirit and tried not only to keep from
initiating their undesirable habits, but
to help them form better ones. With
some of them, this method was sue
cessful, and those who did not i'm
prove before long dropped out of the
circle, or were dropped by Tommy and
the other boys.
GAS for Tommy himself, it made hin,
more discriminating. Besides this, he
had formed the unpleasant habit OF
whining when he could not do or have
what he wished. None of these little
fellows did that. called Tommy's at
tention to this in a friendly way. He
watched them when they were disap-
pointed and although some of then
displayed other faults there was nc
whining. After that the unpleasant
tone was less often heard from
Tommy, and soon it ceased altogether
81 can see how that was a better
way" said Mrs. Multer.
"Yes," said Mrs. Welborn. "Thank
you, Mrs. Williams, l will try you,
method. 1t will avoid the danger OF
breaking down the habit of loyalty ir
friendship, and it will show Benny how
to be helpful friend. At the same
time it will give him experience in dis,
tinguishing between good and bao
qualities in himself and others, ano
that will help him in forming friend
