the figures with those before the
var. Although the increase was a
large one, it does not nearly an
swer the demand for women to
help overcome the shortage of la
Dor. In closing, Mrs. Christnan
stressed firmly, that the union
membership must assume more
responsibility to assure a quick
victory. She reminded us of the
Presidents policy on no discrimin-
alton that faces us on the home
battle front. The policies that are
before us now, are those that will
affect the postwar period, and the
part that unified Labor plays will
be a stepping stone for our de-
mocracy after the war.
Sister Bessie Kemp of UE Dis
trict A talked on shop duties
throughout the nation. She re-
ported on the problems confronted
by her race, and of the progress
being made to give the colored
race a chance in industry, in or
der, that we in America can have
a true democracy, where all will
be working in unity toward the
perseverance of democracy.
Sister Mary Reed, activities di-
rector of UE District 6, opened
by speaking on problems facing
this country now for the prosecu-
ton of the war. Problems of in
creasing war production in order
that we may be able to hit our
enemies in the heart of the Axis
nations.

ter Young reported on the p~artici-
patton of the women in Russia
and Britain toward the war effort.
She also reported on the war eff
fort of women in this country.
Our report is good, but our women
as yet, are not devoting their full
est effort to the winning of the
war. Sister Young stressed that
we should work in unity, and fol-
low the plans outlined by our
union, and the role of the UE in
the war program will be historic
and the setting up of a good post
war program.
Sister Ober then outlined the
three panels, and gave a condensed
report on the duties of each panel.
Sister E. Freedom then gave the
credential report as follows: IS
delegates from twenty three 10
Gals, with a total assembly of 1O8.
BANQUET HELD
The body then adjourned to the
Junior Ballroom for a banquet. At
the banquet, Sister Ober, intro
duced Mrs. Christman, from wom-
ems division of the department of
labor. She spoke on the intensified
effort of our union working in
unity to reach the ultimate goal
of Victory. She praised the UE
leadership building program, and
the effort the UE is making to
place women from all walks of
life in industry. Mrs. Christman
verified the position of the govern
ment of workin 6 with labor
through the unions program of no
discrimination, and equal pay for
equal work. She outlined trades
now being performed by women
in industry, and the percentage of
employed women since the ma
tional emergency, and compared

Get Ready Now

One of the first things labor will have to think about when the 1913
Congress comes in next January is a new tax bill
The 1912 bill, passed in November, has been described as the worst
in tax history. It hits the workers and other low income groups and
spares the rich and the fat corporations. 1t is a real wage cut and con-
sequently a real threat to val production, because it takes money
from workers as far down the scale as $2 a week-money that is
desperately needed for food and health
At the same time, it leaves big incomes and profits as a breeding
ground for initiation. Most glarng of all was the flat refusal of Congress
to do anything about the $4,000 income limit
And because the 1912 bill fails to raise the revenue the govern
ment needs for war financing, we will be faced with a new bill almost
as soon a Congress meets next month. What happens to that bill
whether it is a win-the-war measure or another soak-the-poor de-
vce-depends On labor.
The reachonary and ani-victory forces n stronger in this Con-
gress than before. The first thing they will probably try for will be a
general sales tax-some of the poll tax statesmen who sabotaged the
1912 bill are openly Boosting that the sales tax is first on the agenda.
We all know that the sales tax cuts the food and other necessities
workers can buy, thus cutting their health and productive efficiency.
Labor can stop this plot against war production. Labor can make the
1913 tax bill a real victory measure.
But only if labor starts now, by organizing for an about CAM
paign, even before the new Congress comes in. Start telling your Con-
gresham and your Senator's, even If they're newly elected, that labor
demands an about, win-the-war tax bill in 1943.

Following is a resume of the

ternational position for the confer
ence. He spoke or the importance
of women taking over jobs in all
o~ccupational fields. Bro. De Ca
witch also said, Women today as
in no other time in the history of
u nation, must assume leadership
to see that nothing will jeopardize
the growth and achievements of
our union. Women must protect
the gains that have already been
made by the union, and must on
tinue to further the progress Of
our union. Women must assume
positions IN labor activity in order
that we reach our ultimate goal
of victory and everlasting peace
after the war" In closing, Bro. De
Cavitch urged all delegates to at
tend their respective panels, and
to act on issues hat will be
brought up in an effort to solve

ODER CHAIRMAN
The floor was then opened for

conference. Sisters Ober and Tice
were nominated, and Sister Tice
declined. A motion was made and
carried to elect Sister Ober by &C
clamation. Sister Ober was in
stalled as chairman, and requested
the nomination of a secretary. A
motion was made and carried by
reclamation to elect Sister Tice.
Sister Tice then read the de
c~laration of Purpose" of the con-
ference which was published in
the last issue of the Dayton Union
News. Sister Ober then talked on
the topic of Women Winning the
War" She stressed women can
help in preserving democracy. The
delegates attending the conference
were representing some 10000
women in our union. Sister Ober
pointed out that the UE was the
first international Union of the CIO
to actually begin a program to de-
yelop "Women's Role IN the War"
To give an example of the work
now being done by women leaders
of the UE were named and the
type of work that they are doing.
In closing, Sister Ober requested
that the delegates attending should
90 back to their locals and attempt
to build a more active leadership
of women in union affairs.

Mr.. Herbert Sachs, being a con-

dance music at his Del Rio that

The fact that Mr.. Himber has
always thought of bands in terms
of large numbers witness the Is
pieces he brings to Del Rio) is some
thing of an indication of his style:
Fulsome, painstaking arrangements.

Rising over the eastern horizon at map-time we find the great con- stellation of Orion, and a majority of observers consider this group and its neighbors in the heavens the most interesting part of the sky. Within this area lie the con- Etellations of Taurus, Auriga. Gemini, Orion, Canis Major, and Canis Minor. Not less than seven
 first magnitude stars out of the entirW list ot twenty and of the fifteen which are visible from these northern laitudes, will be found here. Tn addition, there Is host of second and third magnitude stars which actd greatly to the beauty pf the picture. Directly above Orion, sr good possti-n for observation, is Taurus the Bull.
