NEW YORK MAKES
5TH ANNUAL STUDY
OF LIVING COSTS

New York City (ILNS).-For the
fifth consecutive year the New York
Department of Labor is sending it's
representatives into typical New
York communities to price essential
goods and services, Industrial Com
missioner Frieda S. Miller announced
here. This survey is made annually
to measure the cost of living of work.
ing women in New York state.
Experts in the fields of housing.
clothing, medical care, and nutrition
have aided the department in prepar-
ing a list of goods and services need
ed by women workers for adequate
maintenance and protection of health.
With assistance from retail mer-
chants, real estate men, professional
men, and public service companies,
the departments representatives will
price these items in localities where
womn wage earners are employed.
Miss Miller pointed out that the de-
partment's cost-of-l living studies are
made in compliance with the New
York Minimum Wage Law. Under
this law, wage boards consider cur
rent costs of living in recommending
a minimum wage for women workers
in an industry.
= The 1910 survey disclosed that the
cost of adequate maintenance and the
protection of health for a working
woman living as a member of a
family was $1,057.94 a year, while
a working woman living alone needed
$1,17020.

Carry on grimly, steadfastly to the
inevitable end. Keep the V sign in
your souls. All the moral forces of
the universe are with you As Words
worth said to one of the soldiers in
another war of liberation:
There's not a breathing of the COM

That will forget thee; thou has

Thy friends are exaltations, agonies,
And love, and mans uncomfortable

More than five and one-half million
organized trade unionists will be rep
resented in the Congress which will
listen to this moving presidential ad-
dress. The affiliated membership of
the TUG unions exceeded five millions
at the end of last year; this was an
increase over the previous year Of
nearly quarter of million; and in
the nine months Of the present year
at least another quarter of a million
has been added to the aggregate
membership Of the unions.

New Jersey Building
Unions Reject Move
For $50 PdY Roise

Atlantic City, n. j. QLNS).-
Meeting here in annual convention,
the New Jersey State Building and
Construction Trades Council rejected
a resolution asking a 25 per cent
wage increase.
The proposed resolution demanded
a 25 per cent wage increase if the
State Legislature did not Immediately
fix ceiling on food prices and rents.
The legislative committee failed to
concur on the resolution and was up
held by the convention. The commit
tee set forth that the Federal Gov
ernment was attempting to establish
ceilings on prices and wages and the
State Legislature probably would not
take any steps that would conflict
with these efforts.
The committee declared that "the
establishment of ceiling for wages
might act as boomerang should the
respective governments fail in their
efforts. Therefore, matters of this
kind should be left to the individual
organizations"
Joseph Keenan,, labor representa-
tive of the Office Of Production Man
agement, advised building trades
workers to go West for employment
or seek jobs in defense industries in
an address before the council.
keenan, urged also that the unions
participate more actively in training
programs for apprentices. He said
that unless they assume direction in
curtailing students and courses the
labor market might be overwhelmed
at the defense nrOgram conclusion.

In the concluding passages Of his

achieves an unforced and natural elo-
quence. Delegates to the Congress-
and there will be nearly 700 of them
assembled in the great hall Of the
ancient Church of Scotland-will sure

our ancient heritage of freedom. We
are the only country at war in the

"Our Parliament alone among the
belligerents has carried out extensive

For Labor Division

Philadelphia, Pa.-There is no i'm
mediate prospect of peace in the
labor movement, David Dubinsky,
president of the international Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, asserted
here.
Dubinsky, who led his union out Of
the CIO in 1888 to return to the AFL,
said the two divisions Of labor were
farther apart than ever and blamed
the failure of reconciliation efforts on
John l.. Lewis, former CIO president.
"The main responsibility for the
continued failure Of the AFL and C1O
to get together rests squarely on
Lewis he said.

Information On
Social Security

Over a quarter of million more
workers will be needed in the next
four months to meet the requirements
of a selected group of $500 plants
manufacturing vital defense ma
terials, it was announced today by
Federal Security Administrator Paul
V. McNutt.
Mr.. McNutt said that these figures
represent employers estimates of the
number of workers they expect to hire
from September l to December 81,
as reported to the Bureau of Employ
ment Security, Social Security Board.
In all, about 272,S00 anticipated hir
ings were reported, of which more
than one-half would be in the aircraft
and shipbuiding industries. The 37l
such establishments surveyed expect
to take on 153,540 workers by De-
cember 81. Added to the extensive
hiring which has taken place in these
industries in the last two months, this
would result in an employment in
crease, over July levels, of Al per
cent in the aircraft industry and "A
per cent Ill SflpDullulllS.
The types of workers most in de-
mand, in the professional and man
agerial class, are tool designers and
aeronautical engineers. In the skilled
trades the greatest need is for ma
chinists, arc welders, sheet-metal
workers, engine-lathe operators. tool
makers, milling machine operators,
tourret-lathe operators, ship filters,
marine machinists, machine shop in
spectors, and ship carpenters; and in
the sen1i-skilled trades, for detail as
semblers in aircraft manufacturing,
floor assemblers, aircraft riveters,
S i'm G e-spindle-drill-press operators,
final assemblers in aircraft manufac-
turing, and punch-press operators. In
virtually all of these occupations, the
anticipated demand for workers far
exceeds the supply Of qualified and
available workers registered at state
employment offices.
More than one -fifth-61, ,570-of the
total number of hirings are expected
to occur in California, principally in
aircraft and shipbuilding. New York
and Pennsylvania follow with approx
mately 35,lO0 and 32,400 hirings re-
spectively. These are concentrated in
aircraft, shipbuilding, and iron and
steel. A substantial number of hir-
ings is also expected in Ohio with
23,7C0 additional workers needed;
Michigan, 21,6OO; Washington, 1850;
Maryland, 1880; and Connecticut,
1900.
Mr.. McNutt explained that the Bu-
reau of Employment Security, through
its affiliated State Employment Serv-
ices, regularly obtains information on
the future labor needs of important
defense establishments in order to
make necessary arrangements, in adj
vance, for recruiting and training the
number and kinds of workers who will
be required.

fense furnishes widespread employ
ment and increased purchasing power.
There is tremendous increase In the
demand for products. Orders cannot
be filled because many industries are
concentrating upon national defense
production. Then prices skyrocket be-
cause shortages occur. Our Admins
tration is considering various methods.
One method is to freeze prices and
wages at certain predetermined levels.
Another method is to impose heavy
taxes. A third method is to enforce
a system of priorities controlling the
output of raw materials.
There is strong temptation for all
Of US to wish for higher prices. One
individual group will benefit from the
rise, but is, Of course, effected by the
corresponding rise elsewhere. Some
system of price control is necessary.
Of course, a voluntary system is bet
ter than compulsory one.

(BY ASSOCIATED PREss)

Roaring artillery in the battle of Leningrad, the German Command reporting the city under direct fire, and the Russians claiming the recapture of four outlying villages in counter attacks, highljghted the gigantic struggle on the Soviet front today.
 Meanwhile the chief American in- terest revolyed around the fight between the U. s. destroyer Greer and an unidentified submarine while the American vessel was en- route to Iceland with mail for the newly established base in the North Atlantic. The Greer dropped depth bombs after the sub fired torpe- does which missed, in the first challenge to the U. s. Navy's ex- tended Atlantic patrol.
 The Germans, who previously claimed to be within 20 miles of Leningrad and easy range for their biggest cannon, gave no details about the action on any of tn e widespread fighting fronts.
 The Russians acknowledged the hot pace in the life and death bat tie over the city of three million is increasing and claimed the re- capture of four villages and the destruction of a heavy gun bat tery,

SEATTLE, Sept 5.-The 47-man Russian Military Mission landed here late yesterday afternoon from Sitka after trip half way around the globe in two of the first Am ericafi- built flying boats ever built, which were sent to Russia in 1937
 The mission landed at Nome last Sunday night, hoped to Kodiak and then to Sitka, making the Nome to Seattle flight in three hops.
 The first seaplane landed at 4:25 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the second came down at $40 O. clock at the United States Naval Air Station.
 Several news photographers and reporters in a launch were fired upon by naval guards for entering a restricted naval district. The launch beat it back to a neutral zone later.
 The Russian airmen were greeted with military honors by both Army and Navy officers.
 The Russians confirmed the re- port the mission is strictly tech nical one and declined to discuss experiences on the flight. The des- tination of the mission is Wash ington, D. c.

WASHINGTON The public doesn't know it, though Nazi agents do. but the United States is very quietly and efficiently building up series of strategic bases along the coast of Africa to guard against a Nazi air putsch from Dakar to South America.
 First of these bases will be air. dromes at Freetown, in the British colony of Sierra Leone. now being developed by Pan American Airways on the airplane ferrying route to Egypt.
 Second will be an important air drome in Liberia, the Afro-American colony just south of Freetown. Equally important will be submar- inc base in Liberia.
 The Liberian airdrome is now be- ing built in cooperation with the Firestone Rubber Company, which some years ago decided to free itself of the Dutch-British rubber cartel UJ oCttIl5 up CAtCAiolFC pldheoeAoAiS in Liberia.
 Purpose of these bases is to take the place of the U. s. fleet in the South Atlantic. Long ago, U. s. naval strategists figured they could reduce materially the number of U. s. warships around Hawaii and Cali fornia, if there were enough big bombing planes on the Pacific island bases to patrol the Pacific.
 So now U. s. bombing planes op- erating from the African coast will do the same thing for the South Atlantic in order to guard against Nazi moves from Vichy dominated Dakar
 The problem of shutting off a Nazi blitz in the South Atlantic is much harder than in the Pacific, due to one factor: distances in the Atlantic are about one-third less than those in the Pacific.
 However, these bases at Freetown and Liberia are the best. bet the United States has. for long ago the Aa-..oa nv pooa Fnslrl

time only because it serves pro- paganda purpose, in the view of weil-informed observers, and it's based on the idea that the Ger mans will hear the talk, and pre- pare for invasion even though they are convinced it will NOT come.
 The basic reasoning behind the British high commands refusal to consider invasion at this time, lies in military principle.
 Any force attempting to estab- fish a beach-head must count on

 I can state definitely that the British air command agrees with other branches of the military service that a full-scale invasion attempt against the Germans this year would have no better than a 1-to-3 chance. It would, therefore, run the danger of going down in history as futile raiding party. Annoyance to the Germans would be the only result.
 Invasion talk is prevalent at this

The Greer arrived this morning and officers said the instru- ments indicated the destroyer was over the submarine when the depth charges were re- leased. They were in very deep water at the time and c0nse- quently, officers added, the sub might have sunk without any trace being revealed on the sur- face. Officers of the Greer dis closed that a British aircraft assisted the Greer in repelling the attacIser.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Sena- tor Ralph O. Brewster, just re- turned here from Pacific Defens- es inspection flight, today criti- cized the military program in AL aska, including what he said was an Army proposal, since aban- doned, to shelter troops in tents.
 Brewster said he called the at tention of War Department offici- als to requirement. of law that adequate housing be provided troops above the Mason Dixon Line, and suggested that tents lin an Alaskan winter wouldn't answer that description" Since then, he has been assured he said, that adequate barracks will be con structed.

 He praised the efforts of Major General Simon Bolivar Buckner Commander of the Alaska Defense Command, to coordinate the mili- tary program il the Territory, but said in an interview that officers in Alaska should be given more in- dependent authority to overcome delays.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5. = You'd know the name in a minute. Her family makes product used for generations. She's fat, worth mil- lions, and covered with smiles and diamonds. Her friends admit she's inept.
 So when she wanted to crash Washington society she saw she'd better make friends with the news paper women. She asked them 'n to cocktails, and they Hooked over to see the newcomer to Washing tons social zoo. They said nice things, and she, fat and over- iressed, beamed
 Finally she turned to a distin- 3uished, gray-haired woman, a stranger standing next to her, and looking at the crowd of newspaper women, said: Really, several look as though they are well-born"
 The gray-haired woman, a top notch reporter, drawled: 50? How can YOU tell?"
 The fact is, some of Washington newspaper women are much-sought dinner guests. True, some are frumps. And true, again, some are fashion plates. But they can talk well, and they wield an influence which no canny newcomer ignores.
 They wield influence both in drawing rooms and in the corri- dors outside the House and Senate chambers, depending on their abilities. Let me cite few in- stances:
