Miss Anderson Outlines
Defense Work Of Women

Washington, d. C.-The Importance
of women workers in the national de-
fense program was emphasized by
Mary Anderson, director of the Wo-
mems Bureau, Z. S. Department Of
Labor, in radio address over Station
WJSV of the Columbia Broadcasting
System in the Labor News Review
program of Albert n. Dennis.
Pointing out that there are mot
far from two million women in need
of regular, permanent employment" )"
Miss Anderson outlined in detail the
various types Of work that women
are able to perform in preparing the
nation for complete defense.
"The Women's Bureau advocates
the maintenance Of good labor stand
ards for all women on defense jobs"
she said.
"Hours of work should be moderate,
preferably not to exceed 8 day or
40 a week. Wage rates should be
based on occupations, not on sex or
race of the worker. Good plant SAN
itation, scientific lighting, adjustable
seats, protection against industrial
accidents and diseases-these are also
highly essential. All such measures
mean better workers, greater and
finer output, and a speeded up defense
program. Our whole defense program
is just a means to an end. It's aim
is the preservation Of our democracy,
to guarantee equality, opportunity,
and security for all our citizens
women as we'll as men,"

United Union Aid
To Britdin Urged
Labor Giving All Possible
Help To Brother Trade
Unionists. Says Lyons

New York, N. Y.-Organized Labor
in America has assumed voluntarily
the obligation to give all aid possible
to their brother trade unionists in
Great Britain" Thomas J. Lyons,
president of the New York State Fed
Grafton of Labor, declared in an ad-
dress over Station WEVD under the
auspices of the American Labor Com
mittee to Aid British Labor.
He advocated participation by local
unions of the metropolitan area in
the forthcoming Aid British Labor
Conference Tuesday evening, March
IL, at the Manhattan Center, 34th
Street and Sth Avenue.
"We know" Mr.. Lyons stated, "that
organized labor in the United States,
accustomed to decent standards, ac-
customed to the adjustments of labor
management problems through free
trade unions would suffer incalculable
harm if we were compelled to COM
pete in any way with the unlimited
slave labor that would be at the dis
posal of the dictators."
Mr.. Lyons outlined briefly the great
political, economic and military danger
to the United States of an Axis vic
tory. He pointed out, however, that
the "crisis in Europe has not found
America sleeping"
He hailed the "degree of unity"
achieved on "policy Of such mag
nitude as that of defending the in
dependence and the democracy Of our
country" and declared that "organ-
lied labor stands forth as one Of the
most alert, most vigilant and most
dynamic agencies through which the
American people came to realize that
their way Of life was at stake"
Praising British labor and the
British people for the sacrifices they
had accepted "for the DURATION" he
stated that the free trade unions Of
America must come to their aid "he-
cause of a sense of brotherhood that
animates the labor movement, and be-
cause Of the knowledge that if labor
is to continue to enjoy freedom in
this country, it must help to prevent
the expansion of the relationships"
The American Labor Committee to
Aid British Labor, according to Mr..
Lyons, is collecting commodities for
the relief of civilians, such as blank
cts, clothing for adults and children,
medical supplies, mobile kitchens and
ambulances, and funds for their pur-
chase.
"At time when the brotherhood
Of man seems to be at its lowest cbb,"
Mr.. Lyons concluded in his appeal,
eve extend the helping hand of a
brother, the hand of American La
Dor, to our brothers in Great Britain
who are fighting the great fight Of
democracy for all of us"
