New York City ULNS).-The Sea

to join the International Transport
Workers Federation, according to
word from Wellington which has Just
reached the New York office of the
federation.
Favorable action was indicated after
a ballot of the membership which
showed an overwhelming majority in
favor of international affiliation. The
action of the New Zealand Seamen fol
lows a similar decision of the AuStral-
lean Maritime Transport Council, cen
trail body of the Seamen's and mari
time workers unions of Australia,
which boosted the membership of the
l.. II. f. throughout the world above
the 2-milliOn mark.
The state of mind of New Zealand

vealed in the communication sent to

president of the New Zealand Work

Der to the /. l.. o. conference which
was held last fall in the United States.
Wishing the /. II. +. further world

in New Zealand are very different
from what they were of course il few
years ago. The labor movement has

On
Social Security

Cleveland. O.-Women are entering
war industries in eve increasing mum,
bers, according to Edward l.. Keenan,,
representative of the United States
Employment Service of Ohio, Michigan
and Kentucky.
CAS- an illustration of the increasing
acceptance of women by industry, wo-
men are working today in GG Cleveland
war plants" Keenan, said. "rwentY-
nine additional firms have announced
that they will hire women i'm the q
future Women are working today as
operators of milling machines, punch,
drill and buShing presses, riveting ma
chimes, automatic. trimmerS, engine
latheS, power-Sewing and various other
machines. They are working as core
makers, acetylene welderS. spot weld
erS, armature winderS, aSSemblerS,
poliShers, brush and spray painters,
and as packers, wrappers and sorterS.
"A large number are employed as
inspectors; others as mechanical
darftSmen and t~imekecpers. The occu-
IbtlllpllS III NIlI'1l lHtN dit 'tii'illIN
engaged range all the way from labor
erS to laboratory assistants and from
machine operators to finger-print
perts.
"An examination of statistics on the
employment of women in Cleveland
war plants is Illuminating. For eX
ample, 80 Cleveland firms, with Il total
employment of 81 ,325, have 5,2O5 WO-
men workers. This represents 1876 per
cent Of the total employment of those
concerns. One aircraft company now
employs 1890 women and this number
will increase each week. Thirteen com
panieS employ more than 100 women
each. In n plant women represent
81 per cent of the total employment.
"AS the country swings into peak
war production, more and more women
will be needed in war plants through
out this region and the country. Be
fore many months have rolled around,
more than Il million American women
will be employed in war production,
BY the end of 1912, we believe that
more than 10000 wOmen will be work
ing i'm Detroit factories alone.
During the last war hundreds of
thousands of women worked in indus
try. Women employed in the iron and
steel industry went from about three
per cent of the total employment in
1914 To nearly ten per cent in l0lS
II is pretty generally recognized that
at least half of all the jobs in air
craft plants can be performed by
women.
women already are working at n
wide variety of jobs. They Will be
called upon to replace many men called
into the armed forces. They will be
asked to take civilian jobs made vacant
when men leave to 90 into war plants
and more jobs will Opcn up constantly
for wome in the tnctOries.'

DO YOU KNOW?


Research at the University Of Texas
has developed a new quick freezing
machine four times faster than any
previous method. 1t is called Flash
Freezing. Foods to retain their fresh
ness and flavor must be frozen sc
quickly that no chemical or physical
changes occur during the process.
Freezing by this new method is SC
fast that juices adhering to the food
surfaces are at once frozen, forming
an ice coating that keeps juices and
flavOrs in. After they are fully frozen
they are busted over with Il small
amount of deXtroSe. This changes the
ice coating to Il plastic which adhereS
closely and preserves food perfectly.

Warning of the dangers of expert
menting with communication facilities
in wartime and the demoraliZing effect
of a merger on the employees" w. l..
Allen. president of the Commercial
photographers Union declared that 'if
the industry were properly regulated
a merger would not be necessary"
"POstpOnement of Action Asked
Under present conditions, when the
maintenance of communication facili-
ties is so vital to the armed forces"
President Allen told the subcommittee,
Eve believe it to be Il very inopportune
time for experimentation with one of
the most important industries connect
ed with the war effort. and it is our
studied opinion that the entire question
of IA merger should be deferred, at
least until the war is WON
Discussing the effect of the proposed
merger on the employees. Allen said that
there il no secret about the detrimental
effects that II merger would have on
employment opportunities.
There are numerous references in
the record testimony touching upon
the many economies that could be eff
fcctcd as Il result of Il merger, and it
is made quite clear that the economies
would be effected at the expense of
the employees" he added.
Workers Apprehensive
Declaring that the merger proposal
is having II disturbing effect on tcle-
graph employees, the union head went
on To say:
They have long been apprehensive
of the effect tina II merger would have
upon their employment, and to state
that the introduction of :. 24lJ has
increased that apprehension is putting
il mildly. What little sense Of security
they have been able TO maintain in the
face of persistent agitation on the part
of merger advocates has been almost
completely shattered by the introduce
tion of this bill. II is not too much TO
say that the morale and efficiency Of
telegraph employees have been impair
ed, and this at ii time when they
should be entirely free to concentrate
IN the important part they are playing
in the war effort.
photograph workers are employed by
an industry which is indispensable to
the success of the United Nations pro
gram. The accommodations in
duStry is the most accurate, the most
Secretivc, and the most efficient means
of conveying orders and instructions
connecting raw materials with fac

forces of the nation.
Employees Under Strain

ant of their tremendous responsibilities
in time of war. They are working many

the fact that many employees hav"
