ought to be the lot of every bride,

er were cold, quiet people who kept
me constantly busy in boarding
schools and on European trips with
school groups.
"Two years ago, when my chill
dren were seven and FIVE, began
to study music. One of the teach
ers at the school was vital, hand
some, eager man; American-born
but Of foreign parentage. Never
having known love fell in love; but
more, l see now, with love itself
than with him. His was a violent
wooing. was bored and unhappy,
and we became lovers. He had been
divorced; his wife, much older, with
children Of an earlier marriage,
lived in another state. For perhaps
six months I lived in a FOOLS
dream, then I awakened and at
tempted to end the affair. But he
was unwilling to have it at anything
but fever height.
Meanwhile an old friend, a man
who had loved me since babyhood,
though l didn't know it, came into
our lives, and both my husband
and myself took great pleasure in
his constant company. Seven
months ago my husband was killed
in a motor accident, and George,
the new-old friend, asked me to
marry him. 1t seemed to me only
honorable to tell him of the affair
with the musician, whom will call
Leo, especially as Leo was annoying
me by taking it for granted he and
I would be married.
Sees No Happiness With Leo.
George thinks that l am morally
obliged to marry Leo, even though
his feeling for me and mine for him
is the deepest our lives have ever
known. Dignified, generous and
noble in all his ideas, affectionate
and tender and sympathizing, yet he
feels that it would clear the matter
up to have me marry Leo, even if

divorce.
my children actively dislike Leo
and love George. He has been
Uncle George to them, closer than
ever their father was. This dis
gushing situation has driven me out
of my senses, am thin and nervous
and cannot eat nor sleep, and l ask
your advice. Could Leo sue me, or
subject me to any publicity if I
married George? Is George right
in asking me to sacrifice my own
and my children's future by mar
riage with a penniless musician?
In what way could Leo give this
story to the scandal-mongers if he
liked? George is a politician with
a future before him. Would rumors
of my affair affect his career? I
am going mad over the whole af-
fair and will await your answer with
the utmost anxiety"
No, l don't think Leo could make
much trouble, and whatever gossip
he started would presently die
away. Certainly a temporary mar
riage isn't the answer, and George
should not exact it. Your only
course is to tell Leo once and for
all that the affair is over, and hope
that George loves you enough to de-
eide, upon sober consideration, that
he wants you anyway. And this
time try to maintain a somewhat
higher standard as 4 vita

CONVENTION ADOPTS REPORT OF
COMMITTEE on OFFICERS REPORT
Vinson Measure
Is Sidetrucked
Green Worms Of Threat To
Democracy In New Pro-
posdl Before Congress

Washington, D. C.-Defeated on all
fronts by an aroused public opinion
enemies of labor in Congress attempt
ed flanking movement which imme-
diately was subjected to attack by
the American Federation of Labor.
Forced to sidetrack the vicious
Vinson Bill and unable to push ahead
other anti-labor measures, reaction
ary strategists hit upon the expedient
of Incorporating their proposals in
amendments to the Selective Service
Act, now pending in the House.
President William Green promptly
denounced these amendments in let
ter to all members of the House. He
charged that the new bill, known as
the May amendments, threatened to
end democracy in America.
Enactment of this bill, Mr.. Green
declared, would mean that the ma
ton is embarking "upon course lead
ing directly toward those forms of
government which all right thinking
democratic persons condemn with all
the vigor of their command"
Mr.. Green urged the defeat of this
legislation in the interests not only
of labor, but of all the people Of the
United States.
The May Amendments were report
ed to the House by the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee and are, in
effect, a substitute for the Connally
Amendments to the Selective Service
Act contained in S. 1924. The Con-
nally Amendments are also consid-
cred highly Objectionable by the A.
F. of l..
In his letter, Mr.. Green pointed out
that the original purpose Of this leg
islation was to reduce the draft age
limit from thirty-five to twenty-eight
years. To this, he said, the A. F. of
l.. interposes no objections.
But over and above this commend
able action, Mr. Green pointed out,
the new bill gives the President blan-
ket powers to take over and operate
plants under protection of armed
troops and thus enforce compulsory
labor.
Any pickets who tried to- keep
strikebreakers out of a struck plant
could be imprisoned for five years
and fined $4,000.
Furthermore payment of wages
would be denied to any person "who
is separated from or refused employ
ment" because of Government seizure
Of plants. Under this section, Mr..
Green said, some Of the most impor-
tant benefits Of the National Labor
Relations Act are swept aside once
production is ordered resumed at a
struck plant.
Even peaceful picketing might be
banned under the sweeping provisions
Of the bill, Mr.. Green said.
Summing up his objections to the
proposed legislation, Mr.. Green de-
clared:
Accordingly, the entire Section 8
is a drastic anti-strike measure, de-

New York, N. Y.-The American
Labor Committee to Aid British La
Dor has received direct responses in
the form of contributions and reports
of formation of local Aid British La
Dor Committees from more than 1000
organizations and several hundred
Central Labor Bodies," Matthew Woll,
Chairman, reported to a luncheon
meeting of the Committee in honor
Of Lord Marley and Col. Wedgwood,
representatives of the British Labor
Party.
More than 400 New York union
leaders representing more than 500,-
coo trade unionists in the metropoli-
tan area were present.
Luigi Antonini, first vice-presldent
of the l. L. G. w. U. and chairman of
the American Labor Party pledged
his union to full support of the cam
paign to Aid British Labor and an
nounced plans to mobilize the entire
membership of 250,0O0 to support the
campaign. He stated that the inter-
national would contribute $4,000 but
that he would fight for a contribu-
tion of at least $4,000 to the British
workers since Britain had always been
a friend of Italian freedom while
Germany was the centuries old bitter
enemy of the Italian people"
"The entire resources of the A. F.
of L." Mr.. Woll said, "have been
pledged to this campaign to aid the
British workers by President Green
who is honorary chairman of our COM
mittee. Mr.. Green appealed to all of
the five million members of the A. F..

Fiqht Communists
In Labor Green
Calls For An Unremitting
War Against All
Communists

Washington, D. C.-President Will
liam Green Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor called for an unremit-
ting war against Communists in labor
ranks in an editorial in the July issue
of the American Federationist.
Labor must fight the Communists
as deadly enemies to democracy no
matter what foreign policy the Ad-
ministration may follow as military
expedient with regard to Hitler's war
on Stain, Mr.. Green said.
He placed direct blame for impedi-
ments to the nationl defense program
to Red Vaccinations in this country
and added:
LAX administration of the immi-
grafton laws and failure to deport
known Communists have contributed
to present difficulties. Strikes in de-
fense production, continuing in def
ance Of all attempts to negotiate
agreements and to mediate differ
ences, have increased the menace to
the cause Of democracy and human
freedom.
meanwhile, the head of the dual
labor movement, which has given
Communists their opportunity and
which offers sanctuary to all rebels
from American Federation Of Labor
discipline, is raising funds to defeat
deportation of Harry Bridges, the
alien who has been disrupting unions
on the West Coast.

movement who suspended those re-

Planning Post War
Period Conference


Atlantic City, N. J.-Believing that
an ounce of prevention is worth many
pounds of cure, Americas Wage Earn
ers' Protective Conference has start
ed a program for constructive plan
ming to meet the many situations that
are certain to arise at the conclusion
of the war to the detriment of the
American workers, especially in the
smaller and skilled industries.
This information was given the
delegates meeting in the 49th annual
convention of the National Brother
hood Of Operative Potters at the Ho-
tel Dennis, this city, the afternoon of
July 3 by Michael Flynn, secretary,
of the conference, the ALL s
tariff group which the Brotherhood
helped found.
"While others talk, we hope to act" j"
declared Mr.. Flynn, as he outlined a
proposed conference of labor, farm
and industrial representatives.
Introduced by Chairman James M.
Duffy as a Legislative agent who
would be impossible to improve upon,
Mr.. Flynn proved to his listeners that
he knew the inside workings of Wash
ington as he spoke of real and pro-
posed legislation vital to the interests
Of labor.
The potters again heard that no
matter who won the present conflict,
the American worker would be the
real loser. Mr.. Flynn declared the
workers can look forward to a lower
standard of living as they will be
forced to compete with the slave la
Dor Of many bankrupt nations.
Complimenting the organization for
its excellent judgment in the selection
of it's officials who have shown them
selves to be independent in thought
and action while being thoroughly CO.
operative, the speaker asked the dele
gates to preach the gospel Of collec-
tive thought because of the great
need for it at the termination of the
world struggle when a barter and
free trade system will tend to ruin
the pottery industry in this country.
Explaining that Europe is already
bankrupt and Asia has practically no
buying power, Mr. Flynn said at wars
end we will again hear the cry that
the United States has a great duty
to perform, just as in 1919. Just as
in the case of the last postwar pc
riod, this country can expect no re-
turns except in increased imports
which will, of course, include pottery.
In preparing for national defense,
Mr.. Flynn pointed out, the factories
are ready to produce much in excess
of normal needs. Increased exports
will be the only way to use this ca
pacity, so mass production industries
may profit, but only at the expense of
the smaller industries such as the
pottery.
When millions of men leave the
armies of the various nations, they
will seek jobs and take them practi-
cally on slave terms. There will be
no unions to protect wages and there
will be no such thing as strike. The
American market, reminded Mr..
