Green Luuds Books
For British Labor
Subscription Books Being
Circulated Among 10000
Afflicted Unions

Washington, D. C.-President Will
liam Green hailed distribution of Aid
British Labor subscription books
among 10000 local unions affiliated
with the American Federation Of La
Dor. The subscription books are be-
ing circulated among the four and
a half million members of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor as part of
the efforts of the Committee to Aid
British Labor's campaign to raise
funds for the relief of the British
workers who are battling valorously
against the onslaught of the axis
powers.
Expressing confidence that the drive
would attain tremendous success, and
urging every member of the American
Federation of Labor to help attain
that end, President Green, who is hon
orary chairman Of the committee, said
in letter to Matthew Woll, chairman
Of the committee:
81 am sure the loyal American peo.
pie who are members Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor will welcome
this opportunity to make their indl-
vidual contribution, however modest
not only as concrete evidence of theil
desire to give relief and assistance tC
our brothers across the sea, but alsC
as means of expressing their hate
and disgust for the totalitarian pow
ers who would cruelty laboring mer
and their unions as the first step II
bringing about their so-called new
order which is really not new but is
merely new mask on the old order
of the Jungle, respecting neither de
cency nor justice, and relying for its
existence merely on brute force in the
subjugation of the weak by the
strong"
The campaign also has been en-.
dorsed by President Roosevelt anc
Wendell l.. Willkie and is now on il
full force. 1t is receiving the active
cooperation of all state federations o
labor through their presidents whc
are acting as state chairmen, and al
overwhelming number of city centra
bodies. Contributions through these
bodies and national, international ant
local unions have already commenced
to roll in. From all indications i
would seem as if this campaign will
surpass any previous effort on th'
part of the labor movement to re
lieve suffering and want, and ad
vance the cause Of labor.

Local Union No. l22
Instulls It's Officers
Funds In Excellent Shape.
Report Of Auditing
Committee

Cambridge, Ohio.-Local Union No.
122 held its regular meeting on May
26 which broke the record for speed.
All newly elected officers who were
present were installed and those who
were absent will be installed at the
next meeting. Brother Charles Pandy
was the lucky member, wining the at
tendance prize of three months dues.
The auditing committee rendered a
report that the local funds are ac-
cumulating to a goodly size. How
ever, the local went on record that ex-
penses for trips to headquarters would
not be paid unless reports covering
the matter was rendered on local
floor. Sometimes one or more mem
bers take it upon themselves to visit
headquarters for some purpose un-
known to our officials and then pre-
sent bill. This practice will now
meet some opposition.
This local has missed out, in so far
as having a visiting conferee or ma
tional official freshen the memory on
changes in regulations of our agree
ment. Especially so-called under
standings between the U. S. p. A.
and our N. B. Of o. p. | refer to
such things as apprentices being Sc
lected from skilled and semi-skilled
ranks and the extent to which work
men displaced by machines are being
transferred to other jobs.
Well, the late issue of The Herald
containing the colum, Facing the
Facts" by Philip Pearl certainly went
far astray on the election at the Ford
plant. | repeat again, my opinion
that public mud Singing by either OF
both sides of the rivalry breeds most
anything other than brotherhood and
good will. Some day retractions will
be in order and will the explanation
be, at was only campaign talk p
Many families have fathers in the A

seems to be misnomer

In the course of one morning, one
New York secretary collected the fol-
lowing excuses from switchboard op-
orators in business Offices:
Not at his desk,
Just stepped out,
Somewhere in the building,
Talking on another telephone, will
call right back,
Has someone with him and cannot
be disturbed las variation from the
usual "In conference"),
In the plant,
Just left the office,
Gone uptown,
And then an honest central girl who
admitted Mr.. Jones had gone across
the street for a cup of coffee and
would telephone back in ten minutes
In the literary world, these phrases
used to put off callers are known as
euphemisms.

Parking Banned
Behind Navy
|BuiIdinq;245Hh

Navy officers and civilian workers
here, already faced with their part
in a complete national emergency,
found a personal emergency today.
They had no place to park their
cars.
An order went out yesterday re-
ending parking privileges behind
the Navy Department Building on
Constitution avenue and drivers OF
approximately 245 cars bearing the
permits had to hunt other space
this morning. A new rear section
is to be built on the Navy Depart
ment Building, closing in the 10
wings of the present structure.
Many of the officers and workers
are faced with the prospect of find
ing parking space more than a
mile from the Navy Department
Building and then taking q bus or
streetcar to the building.
The new Navy Building is to be
of wooden construction and two
stories high. 1t will be faced with
stucco. The Public Buildings Ad-
ministration will build it and it is
TO contain approximately 100000

By THOMAS r. HENRY.

Doctors, dentists, nurses, school
teachers and Parent-Teacher asso-
Citations of America are to be en-
listed in a great army to spread the
doctrine of proper eating among all
the people.
This was the substance of eight
committee reports presented before
the National Nutrition Conference
on Defense at the Mayf1ower Hotel
TO-DAY.
The committee for the past two
days have been evaluating the as
tonishing results of scientific re-
search during the past few years
which show that the physical eff
cheney and morale of the people can
be improved vastly by sufficient
vitamins and minerals in their diets.
Most of the claims have been ac-
cepted without question and the
present problem is to get both the
information and the food to every
cross roads in the United States.
Even in research. the committee
reported, much remains to be done
Most of the experiments which have
established the value of vitamins
and minerals have been performed
with animals and some of the re-
suits may not be strictly applicable
to humans.
Survey to Be Made.
1t was decided to conduct a sur
vey of all scientific laboratories in
the United States engaged in nu-
triton research in order to deter
mine the cost of thoroughly explor-
ing the food needs of a human be-

In Drive for Proper Eating
Nutrition Conference Committees Study
Results of Scientific Research

An effort has been made to fix
standards of nutrition for various
age and sex groups Among the
fields still little explored, which
promise sensational results, is the
feeding of expectant mothers. The
conference was told by DR.. Fred
Tisdale of Toronto, Canadian dele
gate to the conference. that certain
results just reported in Canada ARE
like fairy tale" 1t was found that
the diet of mothers for few
months before child is born affect
the health of the baby for several
months. All infant deaths reported
during certain period. he said,
we're those of children of mothers
who had not received the proper
vitamin and mineral elements in
their food.
Closer cooperation between the
medical profession and the public in
nutrition was urged by committee
headed by DR.. James A. McLester
of Birmingham, Ala.
At the same time the committee
urged that vitamins be obtained in
natural food supplies rather than in
the form of drug store pills.
Condition "Shameful."
The condition of the country's
young men of draft age is some
thing of which we nationally should
be thoroughly ashamed" Brig. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, deputy director
of selective service, told the confer
ence yesterday afternoon.
Up to the present, he said, 380, 1000
out of 100000 have been found

improper food during childhood.
Whether We are worse off phys
ically than we were in 1878" Gen.
Hershey said, "is undoubtedly con-
troversial, but the fact remains
that we seem certainly to be no
better. 1t is condition which
we should recognize as dangerous
and which We should take immedi-
ate, positive and vigorous measures
to correct"

Of those rejected, he stressed
half have been found unfit for
any military service and the re-
mainder judged satisfactory only
for limited service. He said every
effort should be made to correct
every correctable defect in this
group, but the 100000 who are
fitted for limited service create a
special problem.
They are known in their COM
munities as individuals capable OF
performing physical labor, or OF
participation in activities that re-
quire reasonable amount of physi-
cal proficiency. With this group
will be an increasing number of
individuals who have been rejected

Mrs. Byron Due
To TakeSeat
In House Soon
Maryland Elects
Its First Woman
To Congress
By BEN H. PEARSE.

Mrs. Katharine Edgar Byron OF
Williamsport, the winner IN q
closely contested special election
yesterday to succeed her late hus-
band as Representative of Mary
lands 9Th district, was expected in
Washington soon to qualify for her
hard-won House seat as soon as
necessary formalities can be COM
piled with.
After spending most of the night
reading congratulatory kilograms
and taking telephone calls from
friends, Mrs. Byron said she planned
to spend the day resting at her
Williamsport home.
She is ready to take Office, she
said, as soon as the formalities have
been observed She has no plans,
otherwise, except that she will spend
the summer at her home at 3117
Woodley road NV, running out to
Williamsport for week ends.
Disproving the forecasts of lead
ers OF her own Democratic party
that a woman could not be elected
at time when international affairs
are in a critical stage, Mrs. Byron
defeated A. Charles Stewart Of
Frostburg, the Republican candidate,
by about 1900 votes and will become
Marylands first woman Representa-
tive. She was elected to serve until
January I, 1943.
Ironically, it was the majorities
piled up in Montgomery, Frederick
and Washington, the three counties
where the attitude toward her
nomination was either lukewarm or
definitely hostile. that carried the
day and topped the last-minute
rush of Republican votes in tradi-
tionally Republican Garrett and
Allegany counties.
Vote Is 25,870 to 24.757.
Unofficial returns compiled by the
Associated Press gave Mrs. Byron
25,870 votes and Mr.. Stewart 24,757
with all of the 299 polling places
reported.
In Montgomery County, where
automatic voting machines made
results available first, Mrs. Byron
piled up a majority of 2,471 votes,
polling 1856 to 1886 for Mr..
! Stewart. The vote was far short
of the county total in 1898, when
more than $4,000 ballots were cast,
and in the presidential year last fall,
when nearly $4,000 votes were tabu-
lated.
Mrs. Byron, vivacious, 37-year-
old brunei and mother of five chill.
dren, is the daughter of the late
c. Goodloe Edgar. a figure in thu
national sugar business until he was
commissioned general in charge O,
construction in aviation during thu
World War. Her mother is the
former Mary McComas, daughter oi
the late Senator Louis E. McComas
of Maryland, Republican. He rep.
resented the same 9Th Maryland dis
trict before he was elected to the
Senate. He was a member of the
District of Columbia bench when he
died in 1906.

Slash in Employers
Pay Roll Tax Asked
In Bill Given House
McGehee Seeks Cut
From IT Per Cent to
u of | Per Cent

Drastic reduction in the unem-
ployment compensation pay roll tax
of most District employers cut
from the present OF per cent to one
half of per CENTS provided in a
bill introduced late yesterday by
Representative McGehee, Democrat,
of Mississippi.
Mr.. McGehee, chairman of the
Judiciary Subcommittee of the
House District Committee, estimated
the proposed lower rates would save
local employers about 81 100000 a
year in pay roll taxes.
The principal object of the meas
ure, Mr.. McGehee said, is to prevent
the unemployment compensation
fund from mounting to "unreason-
able heights" He pointed out there
is now a surplus of about S21 900 600
in the unemployment compensation
fund, and that it is growing "by
leaps I and bounds" because paid
claims against the funds amount to
only about 81 100000 year, whereas
the present 81 per cent tax is yield
ing about s6.0OO,OO0.
The bill provides graduated
scale for payment of the tax which
ranges from the present 81 per
cent to y of ! per cent. The 81
per cent rate would be paid by en-
ployers only if their employees had
been on the pay roll for less than
three years. The rate for employees
under the three-year period would
fuctuate from 2>to ~ of per cent.
Representative McGehee made
provision in the bill to keep the un-
employment compensation benefit
fund from ever becoming insolvent
with stipulation that if the fund is
less than two times the highest
amount of the benefits paid out"
the present 2.7 per cent rate of con-
tributions to the fund by employees
shall again become operative.
