. COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS
. WIDE EXPERIENCE

London.-Difficult of communi-
cation have delayed public an
nouncement Of the steps taken to give
effect to the decision Of the British
TUG offering "organized collabora-
ton" with the trade union movement
in Soviet Russia.
Active arrangements have, how
ever, been proceeding on both sides.
am in a position now to say that the
ALL Union Central Council of the
Trade Unions Of the lUSSR has cor
daily welcomed the offer made by
the British TUG; representatives
have been appointed by both sides to
form the Anglo-Russian Trade Union
Council.
Plans have already been made,
necessarily confidential at this stage,
for an immediate meeting of this new
joint body.
Pending an official announcement
expected this week, Of the names of
the Russian representatives, | am free
to name only those appointed by the
British TUG. There are five of them
all members of the TUG General
Council.
Britain's Representatives
They are the General Councils new
chairman, Frank Wolstencroft, with
the general secretary of the TUG, Sir
Walter Citrine; one of the leaders Of
the British railwaymen, w. P. Allen
the leader of the organized garment
! workers, Andrew Conley; and an ex.
ecutive member of the big union of
general labor (the National Union of
General and Municipal Workers), H
N. Harrison.
These five able and experienced
trade union officers represent some Of
the most influential and powerful or
+; ganizations attached to the British
TUG.
Frank Wolstencroft is the principal
executive officer of the great union OF
woodworking craftsmen, the Amalga,
mated Society of Woodworkers, one
of the oldest organizations Of skilled
workers in existence, with present
membership in excess of 100000.
He has served his union in an ex
ecutive capacity for nearly 80 years
and has held office as it's general sec
retary for more than half that tern
of years.
His union has international affilia
tions. 1t is, indeed, one of the few
British unions which still maintains
branches in British overseas coun
tries. He has served both on the Gen
eral Council of the Trades Unior
Congress and on the executive of the
important Federation of Building

Workers Eye Injuries
Are Mostly Needless

New York, N. Y.-Ninety- eight per
cent Of the eye injuries which occur in
American industries at the rate of
1000 a day and represent an annual
loss of s2OO,OOO,OOO are wholly un-
necessary, according to study spon-
sored by the National Society for the
Prevention of Blindness and issued by
the Columbia University Press.
The report, prepared by the late
Louis Resnick, staff member of the
society for 20 years, said
"Practically all the financial loss
and the human suffering resulting
from the binding Of industrial work
ers could be averted by the coopera
tion of employers and employees in
the utilization of emonstrate e
methods Of preventing accidents and
diseases. Not only would these losses
be averted but also efficiency and the
earnings of both employers and en-
ployes would be substantially in
creased if all industry did what is be-
ing done successfully in few plants
in America to prevent eye injuries.

Trade Operatives for a great many

Trade Operatives for a great many
years.
He will head the British delegation
TO Russia as chairman this year of
the TUG General Council, an office to
which he was unanimously elected
after the recent Congress in Edin-
burgh.
Sir Walter Citrine needs no identi-
fication.
As the general secretary Of the
British TUG and president of the In
ternational Federation of Trade
Unions he is internationally the best
known personality in the British labor
movement, and one Of its most widely
travelled representative.
In his official capacity he has visit
ed every country in Europe, as well
as Soviet Russia, the United States
Canada, Australia and the West
Indies.
! Wherever ne has gone he has made
a painstaking and exhaustive study
of trade union organization and OF
social and industrial conditions and
there are few men in the world who
| possess an equal knowledge Of these
matters.
William P. Allen, leader of one OF
the three powerful unions Of railway.
men, the Amalgamated Society OF
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, is
comparative newcomer to the ma.
tional councils of the British trade
union movement.
He became general secretary of his
union only year or two ago and al
the same time joined the Genera
Council of the Tue. But he has hac
long experience Of administrative
work and is held in high esteem as
one of the most sagacious and level
headed men brought to the forefront
by the railwaymen's organization
and that is saying a good deal.

WOMAN

She's an angel in truth, a demon in
fiction
"A woman's the greatest of all contra
diction;
She's afraid of a cockroach, she'll
scream at mouse,
But she'll tackle husband as big as
house.
She'll take him for better, she'll take
him for worse;
She'll split his head open and then be
his nurse.
And when he is we'll and can get out
of bed,
She'll pick up a teapot and throw it at
his head,
She's faithful, deceitful, keen sighted
and blind;
She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel,
she's kind.
She'll lift man up, she'll cast man
down,
She'll make him her hero, her ruler,
her clown.
You fancy she's this but you find that
she's that,
For she'll play like a kitten and fight
like a cat.
In the morning she will, iii the eve
ming she won't.
And you're always expecting she will
but she won't.

they would have united in developing
program of self-defense. But by
making an effort first in one industry
and then in another, they had hoped
to create feeling of security in the
minds of other International Unions.
First they directed their campaign
against the metal trades. Then in
turn they entered the field of the
building trades, and recently directed
their efforts against the transporta-
tion trades.
"There is but one way to meet these
tactics, and that is for the American
Federation of Labor itself and it's af-
filiated international Unions to give
their collective support to every local
union in the small communities as
we'll as those in the industrial CEN
ters, so that this present effort to
supplant the American trade union
movement and establish this alleged
new order can be overcome.
"While your committee calls upon
the affiliated international Unions to
merge their forces for self-defense
because of the attacks made upon us,
your committee nevertheless urges
the officers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor to continue their efforts
to reestablish unity in the family of
labor"

ton at . hearing yesterday. More over, GOV. Hurley was known o be opposed Co . state income tax.
 State Sen. Alfred M. Bingham, D., Salem, was the chief pFoponent of the state tax. He urged setting up of c graduated income tax which would yield the state about ei2.OO0,- 900 annually. This income, he said, would enable the state to abolish various other taxes and relieve the pressure on real estate owners.
 State Tax Commissioner Charles ]. Mclaughlin opposed the measure.
 Representatives of insurance com panies were urged by Legislative leaders to institute some system of providing insurance for persons in- jured in automobile accidents. Un- less private concerns devise some plan, the state may have to create It's own insurance system, assembly spokesEnen said.
 Motor Vehicles Commissioner Mi- chael A. Connor said 1t was neces- sary soon to insure every single car on the roads in Connecticut. One state plan provided for an addition al one-cent tax on gasoline to cree ate state insurance fund. An- other would divert 9250 of the 8 automobile operators license fee to an insurance fund.
