Those few weeks after the family
returns from vacation just before
school starts are probably the most
trying of all the year for parents.
Children who have had the freedom
of the beach or farm find it difficult
to settle down to town routine again
and these weeks become nothing
but a mark time" until school
begins again.
This is an ideal time to carry out
plans for a playroom ct your house
which would give the teen-sgers
something to do and get the parents
a little cooperation on the job.
The fact that 1t may be their own
playroom for the crowd to dance
and have parties this fall is likely
to get an immediate response. Spend
an evening making plans Get your
supplies. Make the project as simple
as possible. Give the boys the job
Of construction and the girls the
decorating-set a time limit for the
completion Of the project for party

: & Workers. Safety :

More than 10000 workers were
killed on the job and million and a
half were seriously injured last year,
thus the country lost billion and a
half man-hours of production.
In order to conserve manpower, the
United States Department of Labor
has prepared special list Of what
to do and what not to do while at
work so as to protect the life and
limb of the Nations workers. AL
though potters are not making shells
or guns, it is just as important to the
country and to their families that they
protect themselves by following prop
er safety rules. The following is one
of nine weekly articles. Complete
printed copies Of the series can be OBJ
tanned by writing to the u. S. Depart
ment of Labor, Washington, D. c.
Personal Protection
Wear snugly fitting clothes.
Never wear loose clothes, long sleeves,
dangling neckties, loose trouser cuffs,
finger rings, or other unsafe apparel
while working around machinery.
2.-Wear suitable gloves and gaunt
lets when handling sharp edged stock
scrap, or quantities of lumber.
3.-Wear goggles when grinding,
snagging, chipping, pouring hot metal,
caustics or acids, welding, sandblast-
ing, or doing any other work where
flying or splashing material might
enter the eyes (unless an effective
nonshatterable shield is installed on
the machine). Do not interchange Cog
giles, masks, or other personal pro-
tective equipment without first having
them sterilized.
4.-Wear shoes with soles sufficient
ly heavy to give adequate foot pro-
lection. Use safety shoes when hand
ling heavy objects.
Next week the third article Of this
series will deal with machinery safe

Wood, mot only has to make home,
but a living besides. Three out of
every four women live longer than
their husbands. Therefore it is the
business of the college to educate
women not only in the duties Of rear
ing a family, but must educate them
also to earn living and to manage

The only woman in the country who
auctions horses as a career is Mrs.
E. j.. Tranter Of New York. 1t was
her husband who introduced glamor
into the horse auctioning business, in
sisting his patrons dress for his sales.
And now Mrs. Tranter may be seen
sitting below the auction stand, taking
notes, her hair carefully coiffed and
wearing a smart evening gown. She
says that running a business Of this
kind is not all glamor tho, compiling
catalogues, arranging dates for own
ers, and providing accommodations
for horses to be sold.

David Dubinsky, President Of the
international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, is the outstanding
Labor leader in the needle trades.
He has won definite results for the
workers in the ladies' garment in
dustry. Under his leadership he has
built one of the strongest and most
powerful unions in the American
Federation of Labor.
After an apprenticeship of three
years David Dubinsky, at the age
of IA, became a master baker in his
fathers bakery where he learned
the first principles Of trade union
ism. 1t was not long before he be-
came interested in the local Labor
movement.
In 1911, Mr.. Dubinsky learned the
cloak cutting trade and joined Local
No. 10 of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union in New
York City. He was one of the most
active workers in the Union and his
ability was quickly recognized. In
1918 he became an executive men,
ber of his Local and in 1921 was
elected Manager-Secretary of the
Cutters Union.
The managership Of Local No. 10
to the wider and more responsible
activities of the administration was
just short step for David Du-
binsky. In 1922 he was elected Vice
President of the international La
dies Garment Workers Union and
was reelected four times to the
General Executive Board. In 1929
he became the unanimous choice of
the Cleveland Convention for the
post Of general secretary-treasurer
of the I. l.. G. w. U. Owing to the
i'll health of President Schlesinger,
Mr.. Dubinsky frequently acted as
president and for many months
worked necessarily both as presi-
dent and as secretary-treasurer of
his organization. In fact, during
the spring and summer of 1929,
while acting president, he carried
the brunt Of the strike and later
was successful in the settlement
negotiations. He was elected to the
presidency in 1882, which position
he now holds.
President Dubinsky became a
member of the Executive Council of
the American Federation of Labor
in 1884 and was elected Vice Presi-
dent of the Federation at the San
Francisco Convention. The Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union has been continually affil-
lated with the Union Label Trades
Department since his International
first received it's charter from the
American Federation of Labor.
In 1885 David Dubinsky was the
official representative of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor at meet
ing of the governing body of the
international Labor Office at Ge-
neva, Switzerland. AS a represent
ative of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union he also
attended conference of the Work
ers' Education called by the Inter-
national Federation of Trade Un-
ions in London, England.
His address is: Mr.. David Du-
binsky, President, International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union,

Court Rules AL Unions
Clear Of Anti Trust Law

Washington, D. C.-Following re-
cent U. S. Supreme Court decisions
exempting labor unions from the op-
erations of the antitrust laws, the
U. S. Court Of Appeals here affirmed
the dismissal Of a 100000 suit
brought by Washington bakery
against four AFL affiliates and 1877
union officials and members.
The suit alleged that the Bakery
Workers International Union, the
Teamsters international Brotherhood,
the Bakery Salesmen's and Drivers
Local Union, and the Bakery Workers
Local Union, together with their Off
GERS and certain members, were in a
conspiracy in restraint Of trade
against the bakery because Of a
strike allegedly declared to enforce
a demand that the bakery cease inn
porting cakes from Philadelphia for
resale here
The Federal District Court voided
the suit and directed a verdict in
favor Of the unions and their men,
bers. The United States Court of
Appeals upheld the action of the
District Court. 1t pointed out that
restraints on competition or on the
course of trade in the merchandising
of articles moving in interstate COM
merce do not violate the Sherman
Act, "unless the restraint is shown
to have, or is intended to have, an
effect upon prices in the market or
otherwise to deprive purchasers or
consumers of the advantages which
they derive from free competition"
The court said the case in point
was not shown to have had any such
effect.
Moreover, the court said, "the use
Of conventional, peaceful activities by
union" in an attempt to secure
more jobs for it's members is not
violation Of the Sherman Act, "what-
ever effect on interstate commerce
may be intended to follow from the
acts DONE"

Cambridge, O.-Each day seeming
