The employees of the MGR want a
contract that binds the company
from cutting wages, and laying
men off out of seniority.
Higher wages mean a better
standard of living for you and
your family. The UE-CIO has
been winning wage increase for
thousands of American workers,
right here in your community of
Dayton. The UE-CIO is moving
steadily forward to win more
benefits, to attain a higher stan
dard of living, for job security,
and better working conditions.
Seniority rights brings real
job security to you, and re-
moves the eternal fear of con-
slant lay-offs. Every worker at
MGR knows that a good home
and a good living depends upon
his earnings. When you are
underpaid, and are constantly
being laid off, you and your
family suffers. How many of us
are able to afford the proper
medical care? How many of us
have to Let the doctors bill
ride?

one afternoon just in time for its

The U-140. largest and most

Of short duration, started late in

No one can doubt that in the
event of new war the submarines

can we'll believe that the American
fleet will keep enemy ships at a
safe distance and that bombing at

But certainly submarines will find

of coastwise steamers and deliver

We may be equally sure that these

In the first Inauguration of Pres

mittee realized a substantial profit,
but one of its largest sources of
income was an inaugural ball,
which was not held this year.
The chief source of income, gen.

Actually, more seats were sold for
the 1941 inaugural parade than
ever before, but, unhappily for the

$4,000 Good Housekeepers'
Planned in CLEANUP Drive
Dumont Beerbower
Ready to Launch
Campaign

With a blueprint and a selling
technique, Dumont Beerbower hopes
to clean up Washington.
Mr.. Beerbower is the man who
volunteered to head the Clean
Streets Committee of the Board of
Trade and now has full-f1edged
campaign on his hands
Before he became an insurance
salesman, Mr.. Beerbower was an en-
gineer. He thinks in blueprints.
Blueprinting the idta of cleaning up
Washington, he decided that per-
sonal contacts and publicity were
the best methods of putting across
the idea of a clean city to the
people.
It's All Down on Chart.
He divided the population into
four groups, making a member of
each group responsible for bringing
the idea to others in the group.
Everybody working for the city went
into one group, real estate owners
into the second, merchants and
manufacturers into the third and
residents and visitors into the
fourth. He has it all down on a
chart.
Next comes the matter of sales
manship Mr.. Beerbower's plan is
to hit two or three peaks a year
and continue steady day-to-day
drive the rest of the time.

as centers of influence to spread
the gospel of good housekeeping"

big Break for Working Wives
Seen in Defense Preparations
Labor Department
Aide Sees Their
Rights Strengthened
By MALVINA STEPHENSON.

Working wives may get their big
break In this era of total defense,
believes Mary Anderson, director of
the Women's Bureau of the Labor
Department.
Our championship of democracy
is expected to strengthen such mi
nority rights, and the expanding IA
Dor market should diminish the r.
valry for available jobs.
Miss Anderson estimates there will
be between 100000 and 100000
openings in the coming months
And only 1,250,000 women are &C
tually unemployed and seeking jobs,
according to a Census Bureau sur
vey.
"As job opportunities increase
with the defense program, I be-
lieve there will be less opposition
to married women workers." Miss
Anderson commented.
Actual Need Stressed.
Citing a Woman's Bureau bulle-
tin based on 5000 personal his
tories, Miss Anderson stressed the
actual need of the majority of
working wives tWomen in Cleve-
land and in Utah cities served as
guinea pigs for this latest surveyD
Most married women who seek
paid employment do so because
they must" Miss Anderson said.
They work because their hus-
bands earnings are low or irregu-
lar. because they have to help sup
port their children and relatives" I"
Because of these pressing re-
sponsibilities, women often cam
not choose among the various oc-
cupations and professions, but must
welcome whatever they can get

Long Foe of Discrimination.
