Labor Board Ruling
Contested by Suit

The Burlington Mills Corp, opera
tor of the Covington VaD Weav-
ing Co. mill, yesterday asked Dis
trict Court to declare invalid a
National Labor Relations Board
election among employees there on
June 10.
AS a result of the election, the
board had declared Local No. 80
of the Textile Workers Union of
America. c. l. O.. the sole bargain
ing agent of production and main
tenance employees at the mill.
The corporation contended in the
suit that the union had 'unlawfully
coerced' employees by distributing
a handbill prior to the election
which contained "defamatory and
false" statements about the mill.
The handbill, which asked the
employees to vote for the union as
the bargaining agent, said you
who have been with this company
only a short time know that they
have no respect for the human ma
chine unless they can produce more
end more profits according to the
suit.

Posters Caricaturinq
Foes Are Turned Out
Daily in Moscow
Boyonet Attack on Bug
With Head of Hitler
Is Fuvorite Theme
BY ERSKINE CALDWELL,

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and PM.
MOSCOW, July 19.-One of the
new war-created industries here is
the poster factory that turns out
daily war-inspired pictorial sheets
ranging from A to 2 in subject and
from tabloid newspaper to circus
billboards in size.
The posters are changed almost
daily in shop windows, on the sides
OF buildings and elsewhere around
the town. An editorial board meets
early in the morning, reads the news
papers and plans the subject matter
for the day. After this has been
decided upon, artists sketch the de-
signs-moStly caricatureS of Hitler,
Goering. etc, as well as caricatures
of mythical Moscow citizens who
typify rummormongers, goSSips and
other irresponsibles. Then they
block in the lettering of the slogans
to 60 with the caricatures.
Posters Draw Crowds.
Large crowds gather before the
windows wherever the posters are
displayed. To an American the
strange thing about these crowds is
that there is subdued comment but
no loud talking. Russians character
isticauy refrain from displaying
their emotions under such circum-
stances. There are often many
audible chuckles, but no demonstra-
tionS.
The theme of the posters is an
index of current thought. Pictures
Of Red Army soldiers bayonetting a
disquieting species of bug or beetle
with the head of Hitler is a favorite
subject these days. Another is the
figure of Hitler running lickety- split
from a big Red bomb dropped by
Soviet Air Force plane
Some of the ideas for these posters
are suggested by paSSerS-by who
walk into the poster studio from the
street and tell their stories to the
writer's and artists. Other ideas
are supplied by Tass news agency
dispatches from various Soviet
Union cities. All the posters are
done by hand by the artists and
writer's themselves. When copies
are wanted, stencils are cut and
posters are painted on the spot.
Artists Well Known.
The artists and writer's are among
the best known in the country.
Trolley-bus passengers passing the
studio window lean out to look at
their work, and several times the
trolley-buses have stopped so every
body could get a good look. Workers
in the studio labor day and night by
shifts, and if a good idea pops into
somebody's head at 3 am. it will be
in the window for the crowds to see
when curfew ends an hour later.
Strangest sight in the poster studio
Is when the artists continue with
their sketches and stencils during a
gas mask drill.

Creator of STONY Craig Back
On Active Duty With Marines
Sergt. Rentfrow Says
He's Glad for Chance
Learn New Methods

Technical Sergt. Frank H. Rent
frow, creator of The Evening Star
comic strip describing the adven-
lures of STONY Craig" hard boiled
Marine, has been recalled to active
duty at Marine barracks, Quantico,
Va.
Sergt. Rentfrow, whose home is at
1349 G. street Sc, says that his re-
call to active service will not inter-
fere with Stony's adventures in all
parts of the globe.
Quite the contrary" he declared.
1T should prove of considerable
benefit in keeping Stony up to the
minute in this new kind of war now
sweeping Europe and Asia. There
have been so many changes in arma-
ment and equipment that it is diff
cult for one not actively associated
with the Marine Corps to keep pace
We have always prided ourselves on
accuracy of detail in Stopys travels
and adventures and now we can
keep up to date"
Sergt. Rentfrow is a native of Chi
cago. H. served overseas during
the World War with the l22nd Field
Artillery and remained in the Ma
tional Guard after demobilization
until 1923, when he enlisted in the
Marine Corps. He was on active
duty until 1899. when he transferred
to the reserves. He has since de-
voted his full time to the writing
of fiction and the production of
comic strips.
Discussing possible problems in
connection with his return to active
duty Sergt. Rentfrew said:
The only trouble that might arise
is that in 1899, on the second ami
verSary of Stony's origin. the Marine
Corps presented him With warrant
as gunnery sergeant, which outranks
mine as line warrant. But I don't
think Stony will kick over the
traces"
