Walter will lose his job. The higher
ups in an Office distrust a man who
runs into debt and depends upon VII
sionary commissions to extricate
him, and who at the same time
feels himself fitted for the RESPONSE
bilities of marriage and fatherhood.
Through this crisis Rose will have
to stand by him, and when the
smoke blows away, and he secures
position without the dazzling pos
sibilities Of commissions, she will
have to persuade him to let her
handle their financial affairs.
If he agrees and sticks to his bar
gain, they may emerge into the sun
shine of more secure prosperity
again, find new home, set room
aside in it for the nursery. But if
Walter refuses to let his wife share
in the management, the whole thing
will be repeated over again, with
very doubtful results.
For women get tired of bright
promises that are never fulfilled;
money shortage that is never ended;
eternal humiliations from tradespeo-
pie. They know that these things
aren't necessary, and they would
rather work out their problems on
certain 500 month, than have a
dazzling rush of riches one week,
and bitter shortage for the 81
weeks to follow.
Wife's Right to Share Money
Planning.
1t is the right of every wife to
share money responsibility, money
planning. If young husband re-
fuses her that right, he has only
himself to blame if she runs into
extravagances, cannot account for
what he gives her, and blames him
for necessary economies. Nothing
enrages a husband more than to
discover that the little extra money,
a bit of luck has brought him, has
been blandly spent by his wife, or to
open bills for all sorts of ridiculous
expenditures that send his scheme
for budget tumbling down into
fresh depths of debt.
And nothing upsets a wife more
than to find herself going about the
daily tasks of beds and dishes think
ing resentfully: che told me I'd have
to send Toms shoes back and take
Mollie out of dancing school. and
then he plays poker and loses $50
in one evening! l can't have a maid
even for three days a week, but he
can loan Bill Porter hundred dol
lars. He gave me a call-down for
sending Mama a check for her birth
day, and yet he says he matches the
boys at the club every day to see
who pays for the lunch!"
Married love ought to be high
above thoughts of money. But it
isn't Such reflections as these cor
rode the home atmosphere when ap-
perently far more serious things are
forgotten and forgiven. Money in
the purse is singularly healing
thing; when Rose can look at 4

ALONG about this time of
~ year the questions begin
1 \ to come in from the June
brides. They are still the hap
piest girls in all the world and
Tim is still the most wonderful
man, but still, they'd just like
to ask
One particularly bewildered,
little bride writes me from a
New Mexico city; she says that
she cut out an article of mine
saying that the money problem
was the most important in mar
rage, and that she did seriously
believe it, but that Walter thinks
it is perfect nonsense.
walter" writes Marian, "has
small salary, but gets an occasional
commission. When we had been
married only two months we got
really fine commission, and made
the first three payments on an ador-
able house. We got refrigerator
and gas stove and just a few
things we had to have, paying more
than half down, but planning to pay
the rest off in monthly installments.
This, with the house, means s92
monthly. What we are sure of is
$3.50 a week, so you see we need
pretty close figuring to get through,
months when there is no commits
sion. Walter had a heavy cold in
October, lost % days at the office,
so we got behind and he borrowed
$500 to keep abreast of our cbliga-
tons.
Running Into Debt.
Nov this is what worries me- He
does not like to talk finances with
me, and I don't like to bother him.
But by chance I learned that we
are running behind with all our pay
ments, and unless we have streak
of great luck-and in the winter real
estate developments hardly move at
all, can't see how we are going to
manage. What l want to do is to
rent this house for year, which we
could do, move into a small apart
ment, live on our salary, and let
the house pay for itself and its fur
nishings, which it would just do.
"When l limited this plan to Wal
ter he was amused and disturbed.
He took me downtown to dinner and
bought me gardenias, saying that l
had let myself get into housekeep-
ing rut. When I said that money
was an important element in mar
ried security he just laughed and
said that he had been in and out OF
hot water all his life and certainly
was not going to begin worrying
now. He admitted that he had made

dred' but that if the bank ever made
any trouble, he could get it from

mortgage on the house, but while it
is unpaid for don't think we could
do that. Meanwhile he is anxious
for a child; both the men in his
office have small children and he
says he il Jealous when he hears
them talking Of them. But it seems

Green Urges Labor Representation
In All Phases Of Defense PROGRAM

Washington, D. C.-President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, citing the stirring
example of free England" said that
in order to preserve the spirit of
democracy and to enable the United
States successfully to defend free
dom, representation in all phases of
the all-out national effort must be
granted to American labor.
In signed editorial captioned
"Keep the Spirit" in the May issue
of the American Federationist, Off
cial magazine of the A. F. of L., Mr.
Green wrote:
"The world situation forces us to
turn from the problems of peaceful
progress to those of defense-defense
Of a hemisphere. We face no small
dangers or unresourceful enemies. In
preparing for this fateful issue under
whatever guise it may come, labor
feels that freedom and free institu-
tions must be our purpose and that
only by functioning as a free people
can we defend freedom"
Pointing out that England, al.
though "absolute and sweeping power
has been placed in the hands of chosen
representatives, Mr.. Green said the
War Cabinet must make regular re.
ports to Parliament. Moreover, "ir

New Castle Firm
Signs agreement
Wage Increase. Closed Shop
And Time and One-Hdlf
For Sundays

New Castle, Pa.-An eight-cent an
hour increase, closed shop, time and
one-half for Sundays and six holidays
throughout the year were incorporated
in the new pact signed early this
month by the New Castle Refractories
Co. and Local Union No. 161. Vice
President Joshua Chadwick headed
the conference committee throughout
the negotiations.
The plant is one hundred per cent
union and the management has shown
willingness to meet the increased
costs in living. Although the new
agreement does not include paid va
cation, company officials state they
are working out plan and this con-
cession will be granted in the near fu-
ture.
The membership of the local has in
creased considerably the past few
months with things going along very
smoothly. The local appreciates the
backing Of the Brotherhood and the
assistance rendered by Brother Chad

How Did J. L. Lewis Become Involved In
Mexico's Payment Of Sinclair Claims?

Government, asked them to intercede
for Mr.. Sinclair in Mexico City
Mr.. Davis has claimed credit for
devising the formula on which the
final peace terms were based. He
has said that he was called into con-
sultation by Mr. Lewis after Mr.. Hur-
ley had asked the former head of the
CIO for advice. Mr.. Lewis was inter
ested in re-establishing friendly rela-
tions between Mr.. Sinclair and the
Mexicans because the Sinclair COM
pany operated in the U. S. A. under
contract with the CIO. 1t is assumed
that Mr.. Hurley collected a generous
fee. Mr.. Davis has created the i'm
preston that he lent his good Offices
as a favor to his friend, Mr.. Lewis
The Sinclair coup created some
thing of a sensation in the oil world
because it cracked the united front
of the big oil companies in Mexico
Standard and Shell retained Donald
Richberg, former head Of the NRA
to handle their Mexican claims. He
has not yet succeeded in getting back
his clients properties.
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Lewis were first
brought together by Walter Jones, Mr..
Davis's Washington lobbyist, some
time before March IS, 1888, when
President Cardenas signed a decree

Over l.500 Members Of N. B.
0. P. On Three Shops
Covered By Plan
FIRMS COOPERATING
Premiums Being Deducted
From Pay Envelopes
BY Companies

With solicitation of the group in
surance plan Of the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters moving
along smoothly and swiftly, coverage
is now in force for we'll over l,5OO
members Of the organization. These
members are employees Of the Hall
China Co. in East Liverpool, the Ster-
ling China Co. in WellsviIle and the
Paden City Pottery Co. in Paden City.
Close to 4,OOO members have now
filed applications for the bargain
priced insurance and it is thought all
will be covered within the next few
days since policies are being made
effective just as soon as the job Of
solicitation on a plant is completed.
The cooperation being received from
the management of the various plants
is extremely gratifying In each of
the shops where the insurance is now
in force, the company has agreed to
deduct the premiums from the pay
envelopes and remit monthly to the
\. 3. of o. P. which in turn will re-
NIT to the insurance firms. This
action on the part of the pottery
manufacturers is greatly appreciated
by both the Brotherhood officials and
the individual members. 1t shows the
manufacturers are truly interested in
helping the members protect them
selves.
Many locals outside of the East
Liverpool area have written in re-
questing information concerning the
insurance and asking when Francis P.
White, the man In charge of solicita-
ton will be able to visit them. Mr..
White has beea forced te abandon
plans to contact all members in their
local meetings for the time being. He
is recuperating from the results Of an
accident which occurred at the outset
of circle tour which he started last
week. However, he states he will soon
be able to take to the road again and
each local can be assured Mr.. White
will pay visit if at all possible
Enthusiasm for the group insurance
has been growing by leaps and bounds
the past month. In order to make the
insurance available to the largest
number possible as soon as it is able,
while Mr.. White is inactive, the Broth
erhood will be very glad to furnish
all the needed information and ap-
plication blanks to any local request
ing this service. Should the local be
able to secure the required Is per cent
subscription, coverage can be made
effective at once.
Even should the local fail to con-
tact the required number, the process

of employers and union, designated by
their own organizations, prevails. To
such government is given control
over all persons and all property"
Thus Representation" he said, "pre-
serves the spirit Of democracy even
though a single individual may make
decisions and assume responsibility
for their execution"
In view of the fact that represen-
tation is necessary in order to pre-
vent dictatorship, "labor's basic de-
mand," Mr.. Green concluded, "is,
therefore, representation to preserve
the spirit of democracy"
In another editorial, discussing the
creation Of the Office of Price Admin
istration, headed by Leon Henderson,
Mr.. Green charged that Mr.. Hender-
son made "basic mistake" when he
announced that eve will be watching
wages as a prime cost"
"In all manufacturing industries" -"
Mr.. Green said, "labor costs average
only 16 per cent Of the sales dollar.
Technical progress tends to reduce
that percentage"

clear that it is labor's position that

are grossly unfair" The magazine

bring to you. l am sure it will be
helpful to all Of us. So come out and
give the visitors a real welcome.
We still have a few members who
are inclined to neglect their dues and
assessments. This seems like a very
foolish policy as sooner or later they
must be paid. The only thing you do
by delaying payment is cheat your

At the last regular meeting the fol-
lowing were elected to serve as dele
gates to the national convention:
Brothers Richard Reedy, Harry Vim

We know these men will do all they
can to bring our resolutions back
