New York State Industrial Commissioner Praises Record
of Workers in War ProductiOn-Liais0n Officers Re-
ceive Credit for Assisting in Speeding Production.

ules which will meet production needs
and be satisfactory to the workers.
These two liaison officers are expe-
rienced union officials, the commits
sioner said, Edward F. Hickey repre-
senting A. F. of L. and Jack Altman
representing CIO.
Labor Declared Making Good
"New York workers are fulfilling
the pledges made again and again by
William Green and Philip Murray that
they would work for victory without
stoppage because of industrial dis
putes. Labor relations are excellent
in this state today" said Altman.
Hickey pointed out that many scien-
tifc studies of optimum hours had
been made and were of greatest as
sistance" to the labor liaison officers
in helping establish productive work
schedules.
''The recent Princeton study in
which 68 per cent of the 140 employers
surveyed favored a 48-hour week or
less-for fficiency-confirms our ex-
perience that over-long hours lower
output" Hickey stated.

New York Mayor Sees
Union Members Ready
To Help Defend City

New York City (ILNS) Return to
power of Pierre Laval in France may
mean that the war soon may be
brought close to this city, Mayor La
Guardia told 5000 dressmakers gath
cred to witness the installation of new
officers of Local %, international La
dies Garment Workers Union, headed
by Charles S. Zimmerman, manager.
"We in New York are in danger" !"
La Guardia said. ''The news from
France is not comforting. What we
see there is government by Nazi du-
ress. If the Nazis get the French
fleet, we in New York are concerned"
Declaring that the city was ready
for any emergency and expressing
confidence in the readiness and ability
of the city's trade unionists to do
their part, the mayor called upon his
listeners to "pay no attention to sixth
columnists."

Sales Tax Is Hit AS
Move TO Soak Poor

New York City (ILNS).-Endorse-

tax program and opposition to fed
eral sales tax as a "soak-the-poor"
measure were voiced by speakers at
a meeting of 200 representatives of
labor, consumer and civic groups held
under the auspices of the Union for
Democratic Action.
Professor William Withers of
Queens College, legislative represent
ative of the union, who testified at
recent hearings on the tax bill in
Washington, declared that a general
sales tax would contribute to ruinous
initiation and seriously retard the war
effort, if it did not indeed lose the
war for u.s."

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS).-"No record
exists of any worker refusing to work
as long as necessary to turn out war
materials" Frieda S. Miller, state in
dustrial commissioner, emphasized in
report on operations in New York
state under the act modifying some
restrictions on working hours.
Empire state workers are Cooper
ating intelligently and patriotically
in working longer hours or multiple
shifts in war plants" Commissioner
Miller said.
"Our experience indicates that la
Dor, including organized labor, in the
war plants receiving dispensations, is
concerned to achieve maximum output
through efficient use of plant and per-
sonnel, prompt training and induction
of additional labor supply, including
women, the maintenance of safe and
healthy conditions of work and other
factors which their industrial back
ground tells them will help reach their
goal" Commissioner Miller said.
Unemployment Question Arises
Miss Miller said questions have
arisen primarily where there are still
considerable numbers of unemployed
workers in community. Under such
circumstances employed workers have
questioned the efficiency of working
long hours. She also pointed out that
the dispensation act requires the State
Labor Department, in investigating
applications for dispensations, to dis
cover whether such a labor supply
exists. These data are made available
to employers and help guide the de-
partment in it's administration of the
law.
One group of workers already on a
round -the-clock schedule under which
each man worked days week, two
of them IL hours day, preferred this
to shorter daily hours days a week
on the grounds of efficiency and the
generally accepted value of one-day-
of-reSt-in-seven.
Liaison Men Lauded
The commissioner also announced
that the management and labor of one
war plant which had received Navy
"E' had officially insisted on sharing
credit for their fine record with the
Labor Department because it had
granted them dispensation to en-
ploy certain group of skilled and
semi-skilled workers temporarily more
than 48 hours week.
Much Of the credit for labor's un-
derstanding cooperation in speeding
production, according to Miss Miller,
must be given to two liaison officers
attached to the department, who help
to obviate in war plants receiving dis
pensations, what from lack of under
standing or information might develop
into difficult situations. Indeed they
often assist in developing work sched.

WAR PRODUCTION
IS THREATENED BY
LACK OF HOUSING

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Warn-
ing that lack of housing is deadly
menace to the war program, Harry C.
Bates, chairman of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor Housing Committee,
proposed three amendments designed
to relate the FILA housing program
directly to the war effort.
Testifying before the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee on the
$500,000,000 bill for construction of
between 100000 and 100000 family
dwelling units, Bates recommended the
following changes on behalf of the
A. F. of L.:
Cd Only war workers and their
families should be permitted to occupy
FILA homes privately built under
Title which authorizes home con-
struction in war production areas.
For Profit Limitation
(2) Limit net profit on the sale of
privately constructed war housing to
6 per cent of the principal and net
profit on the rent of such housing to
6 per cent of annual charges.
(3) Establish statutory standards
whereby large-scale war housing pri-
vately constructed would be designated
for the occupancy of war workers and
would be authorized only when eco
nomically sound under procedures
which would prevent over-valuatior
and other speculative practices.
"a crisis has arisen on the war pro-
duction 'front.'" Bates told the Senate
committee. "War production is threat.
ened because of the desperate need
for housing accommodations for our

enced by manufacturers handling key
war contracts in securing adequate la.
Dor and having large labor turnover
and in maintaining a stable labor
force, are due to the lack of living
accommodations in overcrowded de.
fense centers.
Decent Housing Essential
"War housing is chiefly a labor
problem Labor productivity, labor eff
fciency and labor's ability to sustain
all-out production depends to very
large extent on the provision of hous
ing for war workers and their fam
lilies, housing good enough to assure
to these workers privacy, rest ant
other essentials of a decent home.
"The war cannot be won by building
war housing; but the war can be los
by our failure to provide adequat,
housing to war workers on whom tn,
nation depends for war production"

Case Rehearing Asked

Washington, D. C.-Following A.
to-4 tie vote in the U. S. Supreme
Court on the appeal of Louis Weber,
INDECENT California alien refused citi-
zenship by Federal Judge Harry A.
Holzer of Los Angeles last year, the
American Civil Liberties Union,
through Attorney A. L. Wirin of Los
Angeles, has filed petition for a re-
hearing of the case. The Supreme
Court tie has the effect of sustaining
the decision of Judge Holzer, which
the union opposes on the ground that
poverty should be no bar to citizenship.

Getting Meal Ticket No Longer Womens Main Reason for Mar
Stuffed Dates
In a Salad

Did you know that dates grown
in this country-Cahfornia, to be
exact-do not even require pasteur-
ization? That's because they are
SO well protected In the groves and
well cleaned with soft mechanical
brushes before they are packed
under careful supervision. The fruit
is splendid to help satisfy our natu-
raj love of sweets. Use them to give
the children needed food energy
during these sugar-rationing days.
Dates blend well with various salad
ingredients. They are particularly
delicious in the following recipe for
stuffed dates for salad:
STUFFED DATES FOR SALAD.
"a fresh dates.
l three-ounce package cream
cheese.
tablespoons mayonnaise.
Few drops tabasco sauce.
y cup finely chopped walnut
meats.
Orange segments.
Slit dates down one side and re-
move pits. Combine cheese, mayon-
naise and tabasco, and blend thor
oughly. Divide into small balls and
roll in chopped nuts. Stuff dates
with cheese-nut mixture. Arrange
on lettuce-garnished salad plates,
with orange segments, allowing four
dates to each serving. Serves six.

The low sugar content of this

for such lack of mutual confidence.
For instance, you might both be
suffering from feelings of inferiority,
or you might both really be habit

Days that used to seem busy, now.

Today most women are buster than
they have been in long, long time.
For that reason exercises which
kill two figure faults with one mo-

hips-those two spots which most
harass women and their desire for a
lovely, youthful silhouette.
My combination exercises are an
answer to the press of time. and to
natural human inertia and procras-
tination. These are designed to re-
duce the hips and the stomach and
sometimes the waist is thrown in for
good measure.
Here is one on which you can re-
ly. Lie on your back with your arms
stretched out on the floor at your
sides. shoulder height Raise the
legs up until they are at right an

the hands firmly on the floor and
the legs in the same position as YOU

right side, legs landing on the floor.
with legs at right angles TO the
body and hands on the floor. If you
keep the hands. and therefore the

nice things for the waist, too.
