SEC. PERKINS TELLS
OF DEFENSE PLAN

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Skilled
mechanics in American industry
should be guarded against disabling
injuries if the defense program is to
be unimpeded, Secretary of Labor
Perkins told the forty-first annual con-
vention of the international Photo
Engravers' Union here.
Miss Perkins pointed out that acci-
dents and other employment hazards
under the ordinary operation of Amer
ican industry annually cause 10000
deaths and one and a half million
disabling injuries resulting in a bill
lion and a half lost man-hours of
production. She reported that cam
paign now being conducted by COM
mittee of industrial safety experts,
recently appointed by the Secretary
of Labor, will result in increased de-
fense program production in speed
and consistency through the improved
safeguarding of factory workers
against industrial accidents.
Under the plan, she said, group
Of outstanding safety experts "stand
ready to go into shops and factories
at request, appraising existing health
and safety exposures and giving the
management detailed advice on how
to correct or control those exposures /"
"The plan brings into play along our
entire defense production line special
lied engineering facilities which may
be expected to wipe out that persis-
tent enemy to the smooth flow of pro-
duction, namely, disabling injuries to
trained workers." she said. every
one will gain by this-the govern
ment defense program, management
and labor will share equally in the
benefits. Management will profit
through uninterrupted and less costly
production Labor will profit by un-
interrupted wages and safety to life
and limb The government will profit
by assurance of on-time delivery Of
needed defense materials"

A. F. L. Unions Sign Up
Big Calf. Dam Project

Friant, Cal.-The last dam project
in the West has signed with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
After three months negotiations
with two Los Angeles construction
companies handling the Friant job,
the vast s16,oO0,OOO southern unit Of
the Central Valleys Project was put
under complete unionization contracts
with fourteen crafts unions.
The contract, which recognizes each
separate craft as sole bargaining
agent for work under its jurisdiction,
provides that all workers now en-
ployed on the dam become union mem
bers within 80 days. Pay scale for
the workmen will correspond with the
prevailing rates in the area, and hir-
ing will be done through the unions.

The Dutch Labor Party had it's

The labor radio station has been
forbidden to mention politics. 1t is
only allowed to broadcast non-commit-

Throughout Holland, compulsion,
backed by Nazi bayonets, has taken
the place of free trade unionism.

In democracy the only protection
against an effective invasion by prop

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1910.


Every Labor Day definitely marks
an advance in the steady progress of
the organized labor movement in
America. The rapid improvement in
wages, hours and working conditions
is just one of the achievements ac-
complished by collective bargaining of
labor unions.
1t would be uncharitable even to
compare the standards of American
workers with those of the ienslaved
toilers of the Old World Dictator
ships have destroyed trade unionism
throughout Europe.
Our task, the task of American
union labor, is plain. We must help to
lift the workers of the Old World onto
a plane of our American standards,
instead of allowing their deteriorated
standards to drag US down to their
levels. Europe's workers will always
have our sympathetic and cooperative
action in their struggle for better
conditions.
America will face new problem
after this second World War. The
goods made by Europe's regimented
and despot-ridden workers will come
into competition with American-made
products. We must protect the Amer
ican market for American workers,
farm and industrial
To maintain American labor stand
ards every member of every labor
union and his family should pledge
this year, 1910, to buy only union
label goods and employ only union
services.
There is no other way to maintain
the gains already made by years of
heroic effort, no other way to protect
the position of the American worker
as a self-respecting citizen of free
country.
For American workers the lessons
of the present are clear as daylight.
We know that the wretchedness of
our brothers overseas is the direct re-
suit Of their surrender or the robbery
of their rights as citizens and indi-
viduals- right to organize, their
right to say how they shall be gov
erned and by whom, their right to the
product of their own toll.
We must keep the faith We must
resist and defeat every move, every
effort, to undermise the edifce of labor
unionism. We must resent and defeat
every suggestion, on any pretext, that
the times justify the REIMBURSEMENT,
however temporary, of our established
union principles and practices.
War and threats of war are ever
convenient cloak for the profteer and
exploiter, chanting patriotism and the
common good.
Eternal vigilance indeed is the price
of liberty. Patriotism of the true and
highest sort demands that union labor
in America remain steadfast to it's
ideas whatever happens here or else
where.-I. M. Ornburn.

This is the time of year when gar
den furniture and games may be
bought at about half price and it is a
good idea to lay away some for next

Glamour

Now is the time to start thinking of
those essential requirements for the
young girl going away to college
First Systematically itemize the per-
fectly good last years left-overs, and
then spend little for fllers-in. If
you've been careful with last years
sweaters and skirts you will have the
basis for your school wardrobe right
there. Three shirtmaker dresses of
jersey or light weight woods are nee
essary. A tweed or a pastel flannel
suit are also listed among the college
girls musts.
Two dressy dresses, dark silk and
a bright colored velvet or velveteen
are necessary for Sunday dates or
teas. You should also include a high
neck, long sleeve dinner dress of dra-
matte appearance, and two formals
both with jackets which will make
them usable as dinner dresses for less
formal parties.
A reversible gabardine and plaid
wool coat for rain or shine is indis-
pensable, or perhaps you have a trusty
camePs hair coat on hand that will fill
the bill. A dressmaker coat, trimmed
with fur is always usable but not abb
solutely essential Fur "chubbies"
are becoming even more popular with
the college girl. They are smart over
plaid skirts or wool dresses and will
pinch-hit for evening anytime.
Hats depend on individual campus
habits-most girls just don't wear
them, but a little sport felt and a
smart town hat are ample.
A flannel bathrobe or warm loung-
ing pajamas for studying in comfort
and fussy house coat are needed
Shoes depend on the individual and
the active sports one expects to en-
gage in.
If your waistline measures 27 inches
your hipline ought to measure 81, ac-
cording to the Hollywood model agen-
cies.
Rolling exercises will do the taking
down. the-hips job in record time with
out the need of a starvation diet.
Stretching and bending routines are
recommended for one who is deter
mined to have a slender waistline.
Practice bending backward, to the
right and to the left as well as for
ward. Remember to stretch several
times a day.

Women in Industry


The most dramatic job being held
by a woman in government today is
that held by Miss Harriet Elliott as
member of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission.
Miss Elliott, Quaker from North
Carolina, has under her wing all con-
sumer interests. Her announcements
so far indicate she plans to lean heav-
lily toward what she describes as well
fare work, covering almost all civilian
life.
Up to this time there are in Miss
Elliott's official family, which is a
fairly large one, on trade union
women members. She runs to college
women as her aids.
Interesting fact about this aggres-
sive personality is that she alone, of
all the seven members, has her own
personal publicity department. Others
including Knudsen, use the one gen
eral defense publicity staff.

Clubs Outline
Safety Plans
For HOLIDAYS
Mrs. G.. e. Edwards
Makes Suggestions
For Federation

A holiday safety program, de-
signed to eliminate home accidents
caused by festivities during the
Christmas season, has been out
lined for members Of the General
Federation of Womens Clubs by
Mrs. Chester E. Edwards, chairman
of the federation's home safety divi-
sion.
conditions peculiar to the holi-
days need not introduce additional
hazards into the home if reasonable
care is exercised" Mrs. Edwards
declared.
For fire safety the following pro-
gram is being suggested for fedora
ton members:
Use decorations and Christmas
tree trimmings that are fire.
resistant.
De not expose any decorations to
contact with electric light bulbs or
with open flames from candles or
f1replaces.
Dispose of wrapping paper from
GIFT packages at once by burning or
by placing in a metal waste can
until 1t can be removed from the
premises.
Give your children toys that are
fire safe. If electrical TOYS are
bought look for the seal of approval
OF Underwriters Laboratories.
Inspect portable electric cords and
discard those that are frayed and
worn. Do not place cords under
rugs or where they may be tripped
over.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy to
put out small fires that may occur.
Provide a number of ample ash
trays. They will help protect furni-
lure from burn scars and reduce the
danger of careless smoking and use
of matches.
To prevent falls and other acci-
dents these suggestions are offered:
Before trimming the Christmas
tree fasten 1t securely so it will not
fall and cannot be knocked over. Use
ladder, not chair, to stand on.
Beware Of toys that have sharp
cutting edges or exposed moving
parts In which fingers might be
caught.
DO not allow very young children
TO play with electrical toys or TOYS
which may be dangerous because
children do not understand their
use.
Have the children pick up TOYS in
an orderly fashion every night so
people will not trip and fall over
them.
Keep steps and walks free from
Ice SO guests unfamiliar with them
Will not be endangered.
Lighting displays should be in
stalled by competent electrician
II any special connections or ex-
tensions of wiring are needed.
Christmas tree ornaments often
are made of very thin glass which is
capable of inflicting nasty wounds
Broken decorations of this nature
should be cleaned up and disposed of
without delay.

Mail From Fairbanks To Be Carried Gratuitously

The Northwestern A las k a Chamber of Commerce has been for the last two weeks endeavor- ing to have the first class mail, besides the letter mail which was dispatched by plane from Fair banks, released from the Yukon River boat and transferred to Nome by plane.
 The reply received last Satur- day was as follows:

 Urtel identical conditions last year no complaint stop Air mail ceases Fairbanks mails other than first class letters, usual or dinary forms must take regular means disposition via Nenana stop Powerless act otherwise stop See post master relative provi- SionS gratuitous routes stop Boat clerk ordered dispatch Nome pouches off Holycross.
 The arrangement that has been made is that the mail will be picked up by the Star Airways and transported to Flat where the Mirow Air Service will pick it up and bring it to Nome. It is hoped that these connections are made and this delayed mail will arrive sometime today,
 The agitation of the Chamber with Fairbanks for forwarding this mail down the river caused the Postmaster at Fairbanks to offer the mail to the first plane leaving Fairbanks for Nome to handle same under the suggested provision of gratuitous routes and the Wien Alaska Airlines kindly consented and the mail ar rived yesterday Sunday in the Nome Post Office and is now dis tributed instead of going down the River and probably not being received in Nome until next July.
