Already announced to appear is an

from vaudeville, the movies, from
every branch of the entertainment
business, the committee has recruit
ed its expansive cast.
To date, it has announced the
names of Jane CoWl, Vera Zorina
Sheila Barrett, Oracle Fields, Dennis
King, Al Trahan and George Jessel
X X X
Washington is familiar with the
capabilities of most of these on the
list. An exception is Miss Fields
1t is entirely possible, however, that
in spite of her comparatively anony-
nifty, Miss Fields might turn out to
be the hit of the Frohman memorial
show. Miss Fields, whose style is
guSty and vital whatever the mate
rial it happens to be dealing with at
a given moment, is the idol of Eng
lish music hall and motion picture
audiences. Hers is a comedy method
that sophisticated Londoners as we'll
as provincial vaudeville audiences
find equally entertaining.
As the boys writing about the
Kentucky Derby say, keep an eye on
Oracle.
In coming to Washington for the
Actors Fund show, Zorina (who ac-
quired the Vera after Samuel Gold
wyn's press agents got off the job
and she went to the stage) will be
returning to the scene Of her first
American triumph. That triumph
was one of the most delightful ac-
cidentS that ever happened.
The occasion was the Presidents
birthday celebration of 1888. The
star cluster, Janet Gaynor, Fredric
March, Eleanor Powell, Ray Bolger,
etc, was all set for the party when
Mr.. Goldwyns enterprising press
representative asked could they
come. too. Politely, and logically, the
proper people asked the question:
Who is zorina? The logic of the
query lay in the fact that at that
point. zorina was just a girl under
contract to Samuel Goldwyn; a re-

putedly lovely dancer he had found
in London. She had appeared in
no picture or stage production in
this country.
After due deliberatior., the proper
people said certainly bring Zorina
That is precisely what Mr. G's man
did. From the minute of her ar
rival, she began to steal the show
as any one as lovely as she properly
should do.
Later events, one of them called
Il Married an Angel" and another
named Louisiana Purchase" proved
how enormously right Washington
was in reacting that way to the girl
who began life in Norway under the
name of Brigitta Hardwig.
Much prettier name than Zorina,
come to think of it.

G. A. Willis. special agent of the

last night told the Arkansas Avenue

the United States authorities in
combating espionage and sabotage
would be to give the F. B. I. imme-
diately any factual information they
might obtain relative to subversive
activities.

of wild rumors, and discouraged
the formation of vigilante groups,

He explained in detail many types
of sabotage and espionage by foreign
agents. declaring the F. B. I. had
definite information of violent acts
during the current emergency. He
said the F. B. I. was capable of
handling the problems caused by
activities of foreign enemy" agents
with the help of the civilian popula-
ton, adding that United States
counter espionage is waging a con-
stant fight against foreign agent
activities.
The department listed about IS
espionage cases per year up until
1888, he said. Then the number of
spy cases jumped until the year
ending June 80, 1941, showed more
than $4,000.

WAGE STERILIZATION"
EXPOSED

Action of the American Federation
of Labor in challenging the wage
stabilization" scheme at this time
makes for realistic thinking and fac
ing of facts The federation, in its
"Labor's Monthly Survey" takes the
scheme apart, showing it as a fraud
designed to stop wage increases.
The federation shows that wages
can be raised substantially without
raising prices, as workers are con-
stantly increasing their rate of pro-
duction, thus lowering labor costs per
unit
Wages are bound to go up, in fact,
must go up in periods of greatly in
creased industrial activity, such as is
fast getting under way now If wages
are stabilized" and industry reaps a

done by labor, trouble is certain
when industry is not asked to sac
rifice profits for defense, should work
ers be asked to sacrifice their chance
of improvement? is the pertinent
question asked by labor. The answer
is of course an emphatic "Now
This is not to argue that general
wage increases are in order every
where, in every industrial plant. Each
case needs consideration on its merits
and here is where collective bargain
ing comes in. With collective bargain
ing, the facts are laid on the table, as
the federation points out, and agree
ments fair to all concerned can be
worked out.

is still in existence. The molders be-
lieve it is the Oldest working agree
ment between employers and en-
ployees in this country.
The representatives of the union
and manufacturers meet each year IN
December when either party has noti-
fed the other within given time that
it desires a change If no notice OF
change is given by either party, the
terms of the agreement reached at the
previous meeting hold good for an
other year.
Industrial warfare between the
workers and employers was common
prior to the understanding. Since then
there has been fifty years of friend
ship, with consequent benefit to the
workers, the industry and the nation.
The moral is plain.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-04-04
COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

As the /. F. T. U. says, in comment
ing on the suppression of the unions
by the old pro-Nazi government:
wherever trade unions rights have
been violated, other liberties, and de-
mocracy itself, are in danger"
The l. F. T. u, discussing Hitler's
sNew Order" in Europe, brands it
"The Order of the Loot" and tells
something of what is happening under
Nazi rule.
In Belgium, says the federation, tre-
mendous damage was done during the
Is days of the Blitzkrieg, a number
of medium sized towns like Louvin
and Ostend being in great measure
destroyed, while highways, bridges and
railroads are virtually useless. Unem-
ployment has tripled.
''In some DISTRICTS" it is declared
'the effect has been that the system OF
transport now is comparable only with
the Middle Ages. Innumerable historic
buildings, town halls, Libraries, mu-
seums and churches have been ruined
by shell fire or burned to a shell. 1t is
going to cost the Belgium people hun
dreds of thousands of francs to make
good this material damage alone"
In Denmark, the federation reports
there has been a rapid jump in un-
employment, and meat, coal and other
supplies are scarce. In the Balkan ma
tions, it is reported, food prices have
scared, street lighting is restricted
industries have been hard hit, coins OF
lower denominations are now made
only of steel.
No wonder the federation remarks
"These are only isolated symptom:
of the start of the economic collapse
of whole continent"

URGE GOVT WORKERS
TO JOIN A.F.L. UNION

Washington, d. C.-An appeal to
the thousands of men and women who
are now taking new positions in the
Government Service to become union
members for their own protection was
issued by James B. Burns, president
of the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees.
At the same time Mr.. Burns urged
the presidents of all national and
international unions to call to the at
tention of their members the follow
ing facts:
81. Unionism is not merely permit
ted in the Government Service, it is
becoming every year greater factor
in government functions.
g. Our union, the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, is
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor, has jurisdiction over
clerical employees in the Government
Service, and wants to enlist the rela-
tives of your members in it's work to
improve employment conditions in the
government"

Pay Order Benefits
LOO Rug Workers

Approximately LOO workers in the
carpet and rug industry were benefited
by the wage order which went into eff
feet on March II fixing minimum
wage of 40 cents an hour for the wool
division of the industry and 35 cents
an hour for workers employed in the
"other than wool section" The order
was issued by the Wage and Hour Di-
vision of the U. S. Department of La
Dor, which estimated that the rest of
the workers in the industry, number
ing between 10000 and 10000, are
paid higher rates than these two min
imums.

THOUGHTS ON
WIRE-TAPPINC

(From the Washington Daily News)
Chairman Fly of the Federal Com
munications Commission is reported
to have passed along to the House
Judiciary Committee some ideas about
overlapping that should prompt Con-
gress to pause before it legislates
Permitting federal agents to tap
wires, Mr.. Fly suggested, might him
der the defense program rather than
help it, because responsible govern
ment officials would hesitate to use the
telephone for fear vital defense infor-
nation would fall into the hands of
federal agents who might be careless
in passing it on. And business men,
he thought, might be over-cautious in
telephone conversation, fearful lest
chance remarks reveal trade secrets or
be picked up and used to harass them
on income-tax matters. And if respon-
sible government officials and business
men in key industries are forced to
rely on slower means of communica-
tion such as personal conferences,
there would be corresponding slow
down in defense production.
These challenging thoughts, as well
as others Mr.. Fly expressed, about
how impossible it is to prevent abuses
in any system of licensed wire-tap-
ping, appeal to us as sound and de-
serving of the careful consideration of
Congress. Attorney General Jackson
thinks he should have the power to au-
thorize F. B. l. agents to tap wires in
special cases, in espionage work, for
instance. But no matter how good the
intentions of the Attorney General and
his G-men, it may be that even this
restricted form of legalized snooping
would do more harm than good.

Racketeering has no excuse, though
it has had many friends. But to use
the racketeering war cry as an excuse
to jump on labor for everything is
just little too much.
And it is likewise too much to use
the racketeering cry as a smear on
ALL labor.
Most labor is cleaner than most
business and cleaner than most poll
ticians.
How about having a little fairness
in this defense period, which, to all
intents and purposes, is war period.
We need unity, but to have unity
there has to be some mutual trust
and mutual sharing of respon-
sibility, AND OF SACRIFICE.
Labor will accept self-imposed re-
straints as fast as any other groups.
1t will give up as much and gladly.
But it shouldn't be asked to be the
goat. Nor will it agree to be the goat
Less name-calling by selfish inter
ests and breast-pounding politicians
will do more than some other things
will do to help national defense, our
paramount need.

not for further exploitation and degra-
dation!-C. M. W.

Job Placements Gain
so Per Cent In Illinois

Chicago (ILNS) Jobs filled by the
Illinois State Employment Service
during February showed an increase
of approximately go per cent over the
number filled in the same month Of
1910, State Director Of Labor Martin
P. Durkin reports.
A total of 16,4O6 jobs was filled in
February. This compares with 10,190
filled in February of 1910. 1t is, how
ever, slight decrease from the 1902
jobs filled by the Employment Service
in January, 1941.
"The national defense program,
which is now getting into full stride,
accounts for a considerable part of the
increase" Director Durkin said.

Some Defense Workers
Are To Live In Trailers

Washington, d. C.-President Roose-
welt approved temporary shelter pro-
gram embodying 4,935 dwelling units
comprising 21 projects in 9 localities
upon the recommendation of C. F.
Palmer, defense housing coordinator.
The mediums of temporary shelter to
be provided will include family tailers
and dormitories for single men.
Mr.. Palmer said the temporary shell
ters would be used in certain areas
to tide over the period during which
regular defense housing is being pro-
vided, such accommodations being
used only for a few months by any
family Such families would later
move into regular and permanent de-
fense housing units Trailers or other
forms of emergency housing would
then be moved and used by other fam
lilies in new locations
