Tall Girl Gets a Break,
But How Tall Are You?
BY IRENE NJ. HAWKINS
Women's Editor, The Detroit Times

I'M INTRIGUED no end with
A headline in Variety, that mag
azine of stage and screen. which
says Now It's the Tall
Girls Turn"
The story goes on 10 say -.
For almost 20 years she was
practically barred from films.
while her petite sisterhood of
around FIVE feet 10 Are-feur

the stellar rank"
II adds that now they are
admitting the five-foot-sixes and
sevens and even Fights and
so the tall girl gets a break.
That's great. II it's taken 20
years 10 bring the maximum

and peplum dresses. In the
matter of romance. il eliminates
about three-Quarters of the male
population, saving a great deal
of wear and tear on our emo
tons.
What the world really needs
is not fewer tall women but
more tall men. Why can't some
body discover shots 10 make
people taller or shorter as
they wish. Now, there's one for
the scientists.

Union Shop

So much bunk is written and
spoken these days about the closed shop
and the union shop by anti-union prop
agandsts, who don't know the first
facts. that it is refreshing to read some
thing by an authority who has seriously
and dispassionately studied the whole
question.
Rev. Jerome L. Toner, member of
the faculty of ST Martins College, has
recently completed an eight-year study
of the history of union shop and closed
shop contracts Here are some of his
conclusions:
l That approximately 100000
workers are now covered by closed or
union shop contracts
2 That labor relations are consider
able smoother under this type of agree
ment.
3. That unions have demonstrated
genuine responsibility under such con-
tracts.
That the closed shop will probably
be the rule rather than the exception
within the next ten years.
In other words, unions which are
seeking to win the union shop are asking
nothing new. unusual or unreasonable.
On the contrary, they are seeking type
of agreement which has proved its ben
efits over long period and in many in
dustries, and their demands are in line
with the trend of the times.

Doing Our Bit

A nine point program of action adj
vancing all phases of national defense
efforts and President ROOseVelt's fore
ign policy was adopted by the Western
Maryland Industrial Union Council and
a number of its affiiateS recently.
As one of the first Western Mary
land organizations to regard the ma
tional and foreign scene with serious
ness, the CIO indicates its understand
ing of the problems facing the Ameri-
can people and assumes its RESPONSE
bilities in partaking of many of the
problems.
CIO members in Western Maryland
have accepted their share of RESPONSE
bilities in the nations fight against Hit
lerism and Hitler. That acceptance
was done with full understanding of
the dangers existing in Hitler victory
in Europe and in the world. That ac-
ceptance was done with complete unity
that is essential to the success of ma
tiOnal defense efforts arising from Hit
lers world cOnquering threats.

About Production

Labor has more reason than any
other element in the population to be
concerned with full use OF our produc-
tive capacities, both for defense and for
the manufacture of consumers goods.
II suffers first and most from layoffs
and from higher prices caused by short
ages; and it has most to lose from any
failure to defend our democracy
That is why the Clio took the lead
in advancing the Murray industry coun-
Gil plan and other special industry pro-
posals for achieving full production.
Some of the disastrous results of
failing to heed these CIO proposals are
seen in the recent announcement of the
UAW-CIO that tooling machines in the
Detroit area. adaptable for defense pro.
duction. are running only at % per cent
of capacity.
How much longer are labor's de-
mands for about production to go un-
needed.

She's Wrong

Mrs. Katherine E. Byron. member
of the House of Representatives from
this Congressional district, is endanger-
ing the welfare of the nation by de-
Ginning to vote on questions which are
important to the national defense pro-
gram and as such, are important to the
working man and woman who have de-
clared their support of the national de-
Tense program.
Mrs. Byron in recent sessions of
the House, did not vote on such ques-
tions as revision of the Neutrality Bill
to pave the way for the arming of mer
chant ships. and the revision of the
Lease-Lend Act TO include all nations
now engaged in fighting Hitler and Hit
lerism
Mrs. Byron. Intentionally or
Internationally, played into the
hands of Hitler and his forces
operating in the United States. BY
not declaring her support of the
two measures which undoubtedly
are detrimental to Htlers success,
Mrs. Byron implied that the people
of Western Maryland are not be-
hind President RooseVelt's foreign
policy which aims at the defeat of
Hitler
Western Maryland's working men
and women, united in the Western Mary
land Industrial Union Council, recently
declared their support of the Presidents
foreign nolicV Mrs BYRON bV not
recognizing this support, has done
grave injustice to the people of Western
Maryland. She has implied that
Western Maryland's people do not want
to see Hitler defeated She has implied
that Western Maryland's people are not
behind the national defense program.
She's wrong. So is Hitler.

Defense Conference

A progressive step forward in in
surfing the success of the national de-
Tense program was made when the
Western Maryland Industrial Union
Council initiated the Conference for Ma
tional and Living Defense which will
be held in Textile Workers Hall, Sum
day, November 2
There is a real need for such a con-
ference here In the first place, there
is need for action against profiteering
on the necessities of life and rents In
the second place, there is a need for a
closer understanding of the problems
of the natioanl defense program
The conference aims to take
constructive action against profit
standing of the defense program.
But action on both counts can only
be assured when delegates from all
organizations in Western Maryland
take part in the conference.
Representatives from the Office of
Price Administration will outline anti
profiteering steps taken by other con-
sumer-retailer groups while officials of
the Office of Civilian Defense and the
Maryland Council of Defense point out
ways in which the working man and
woman, the businessman and communi-
ty organizations can take effective part
in the national defense program.
1t is the patriotic duty of all organi-
cations in Western Maryland to send
delegates to this conference.
