BY A. A. Ambrose

This is the first Of a series of
HEART TO HEART TALKS
by A. A. Ambrose.
IF YOU ARE NOT A UNION
MAN, and are working for a liv-
ing, you should read this article.
I'm going to tell you just why
you are wasting your time and
life away, while your employer
is lettering his own at your ex-
pense. I am 80 years of age, and
have been working for sixteen
years to date, but that was ex-
actly sixteen years wasted, be-
cause I never belonged to a union.
Why was it wasted? I'll tell you
why
|. Because during those six
teen years / was in constant
fear Of a lay-off with the added
worry of-"could I find another
job, before I got too far in
debit"
2. Because during those sixteen
years, I HAVE BEEN layed off
and my fears have been well
founded concerning another job.
3. Because during those six
teen years, due to lay-offs, it
took all my working years to ~
even up my debts contracted
during lay-of periods.
4. Because during those sixteen
years, my wages were not suffi-
Gent to prepare for any lay-off
period. I.made just barely enough
to live from day to day.
S. Because during those six
teen years, ] gained nothing,
and today I stand no better
financially than I did the first
year I worked.
At the end of my sixteen years
of gainless employment, I have
found the means whereby my next
sixteen years of work will show a
marked gain owe the past sixteen
years. That means is the Union
known as the UE. Take it from me
fellow workers, the UE gets re-
suits. The UE is a Union composed
of men like myself, who have
wasted a goodly part of their lives
working for nothing and who, like
myself, are determined to better
the lives of all working people.
Through Union, we can all begin
to have a brighter outlook.
Through Union, we are actually
enjoying better living through
wage increases, vacations with
pay, job security and humane
working conditions.

WALL Street AXIS?
The government and big-business

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO., Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox and Admiral Emory S. Land, Chairman of the Mari
time Commission of the US, sent kilograms to every navy
yard and private shipyard in the country, telling them not
to grant wage increases.
The employers in these cases are profiting tremendously,
largely on government money. The government is not at
tempting by any means visible to the naked eye to discourage
protiteering, it is rather protecting and encouraging it by
such actions as that cited above.
What lies behind this incident?
The government official is an American official. The
workmen are American workmen. The profiteers are Amer
lean profiteers.
Every instrument of propaganda in the United States,
backed by all the influence and prestige of the great ones
of the earth, is now and has for months been attempting to
brighten the American people with the bugbear of invasion,
has been preaching the necessity for sacrifice and has called
for further and further involvement in the European war,
all on the plea of defending democracy"
One of the chief shipbuilding corporations in the world
is the Bethlehem Steel Corp, whose profits are skyrocketing
on public moneys awarded it despite its long-standing and
insolent refusal to obey the laws of the United States.
Today an Admiral and a Big Business politician whom
the American people overwhelmingly rejected when he last
ran for office, dare direct an entire industry to refuse to nego-
tate the question of wages with its employees.
Is not this an invasion of the rights guaranteed to labor
under the Wagner Act?
Is it not an attempt to sacrifice labor to the profiteers?
Must we not protect our democracy against such a de
tense" as this?
Forced labor, frozen wages, RECOMMENDATION, fingerprint-
ing, anti-strike laws, CONSUMPTION, sales taxes-and unre-
strained prohteering.
In it's best days the NAM never dared demand such a
program as this. Today it gets all this, and government sup
preston of wage demands besides.
More and more openly labor is being told that it must
march to war to fight an axis.
This latest action of official Washington arouses fears of
a new axis menacing American labor-an axis between
Washington and Wall Street.

. McKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ

By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

This is the third of a series of articles on Super Contract Bridge" !" Q form of the game using the joker described by Capt. John M. Ellicott, U. s. N., retired, in his book en- titled Super Contract Bridge" The joker is shuffled with the deck and 13 cards are dealt to each player, as usual. The 43rd card is placed face up on the table. After the declarer is determined, and after the dummy Is spread, declarer may exchange the turned card for any card in either of his two hands.
 The joker may be attached to any suit the owner designates, ex- cept that he cannot attach 1t to a suit on which he has previously shown void. The suit need not be designated until the joker Is played It ranks above the ace of its suit and thus operates as Q kind ot wild" super-ace.
 The hand shown today was used by the late Wilbur 0. whitehead to demonstrate the importance of tim ing in the play of the cards. Notice that all four hands are Identical. Each has one card of each denom- ination from ace to deuce: the hand and suit patterns are the same !; simply the suits are rotated in the four hands.
 If this deal is played at no trump, Whitehead pointed out, the defenders win the odd trick. De- clarer's supposed advantage in "see- ing his dlGnmy" is nullified. The opening leader starts with the deuce of his long suit, and the defenders

WidoW--Joker.

bring in e long card one jump ahead of declarer. In effect, declarer's long card is useless, since 1t has to bc discarded on the adverse long card.
 Now notice what an advantage is gained by the side that can get possession of the joker. Suppose that the joker happens to be the 43rd card, and that South wins the contract ct no trump.
 West opens the deuce of hearts. Dummy goes down and declarer takes the joker into his own hand, discarding the five of clubs.
 Declarer lets East win the first trick with the queen of hearts. A heart is returned and South plays low. Many possible variations of play branch out from this point, but the student will discover that North. South arc sure of eight tricks, and any slip of defense will give them 1ine
