Speedy Way

This can be easily remedled
by including exercises with the
diet course. II is the only speedy
way for the business girl who
sits most of the time. "Secre-
tary's hips" is what she calls
them. There are also piano
players and dreSsmaker's hips,
but with a bit Of regular eNer-
else they will soon become the
fine pencil slim lines all nice
hips should have.
Stand erect, have feet about

stretched high over the head.
With abdomen fat and knees

While bending. swing from

Here is another: Flat on your

MOMENTS
Protect Our Boys Rights
BY Marineu Ambrose

In observing the traditional
Thanksgiving Day, we girls should
remember the husbands, brothers,
and s~weethearts who are fight
ing on battlefields all over the
world. They r fighting to keep
for Americans the right to enjoy
the privileges of a free nation.
Remember, when you take over
the job of a man in the plant, you
are not only charged with the
responsibility of supporting his
fighting with the armed forces.
You are responsible for protect
ing his job at home.
Do your best to produce the
arms he needs. Protect the rights
that he fights for by insisting that
you be paid at the same rate
of pay. Remember, he will come
back to that job some day. Don't
spoil it for him!
Buy Bonds! Remember that is
money to save your America. Re
member, money will be of no use
in a Hitler conquered country!
Your Union is fighting in every
way to insure victory by pro-
ducing the vital war materials that
are so sorely needed at the fronts
of battle.
Your part in winning the war is
clear. Work, produce, buy bonds,
keep your mans job safe for him
until final victory is won. You,
as a member of our Union are an
important and vital factor in the
preservation of the safety of our
America!
Are you a whispering campaigner?

Pres. Roosevelt's Letter
To Go Convention

(FolloaDing is the tert of the letter sent by President
Roosevelt to the conUention)
My Dear Mr.. Murray
Let me thank you sincerely for your invitation to speak at the
Congress of Industrial Organizations in its annual convention, and let
me assure you of my very deep regret that the responsibilities and
duties which l have at this time of emergency ar such that I cannot
accept and be with you. Will you convey to your membership this
regret and express my interest in all that you will do at your conven-
ton? .
My recent visit to industrial areas throughout the country has
given me new insight into what Labor is doing to fulfill its part in
winning the war. The picture is most encouraging. The extraordinary
skill and speed of the American workman, the intelligence and capa-
city for cooperation with management, with each other and with the
Government, shown by the wage earners of America is bound to
be astonishing and satisfactory, even to one who like myself always
expected that every working man and every labor union would do
full duty in the production program.
Through you I should like to thank all the members r the
organizations affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations
for what they personally r. doing and to invite their further CO.
operation and effort in the days ahead.
We have built a vital and tremendous industrial production stuc-
ture and program. 1t is working Now we have to show the endurance,
the tenacity and the persistence necessary to continue this program
and extend it, even if faced with fatigue and Encouragement.
I count on the members of your Organization to help in carrying
out all the programs that are necessary for our national effort, and
particularly those programs that have to do with preventing initiation,
with sharing our customary good living with others, in order that the
world may be safe for liberty and human betterment.
In particular, I expect your members to help in carrying out the
spirit of the Executive Order that deals with wage stabiization, with
rationing, with price controls, and with other economic measures for
the domestic security, a S well as the pursuit of the war. I am sure
that this cooperation will be forthcoming generously.
With many thanks for your invitation, I m
Sincerely yours,
() FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

Dear Mr.. President:

I6dI VII. ItoNQ6I.
On behalf of the delegates assembled at the Fifth Constitutional
Convention of the Congress of Industrial Organizations in the City of
Boston, permit me to thank you for your message to the convention
and for your words of inspiration to the membership Of the CLIO.
We in the CLIO are meeting with a full understanding of the historic
importance of the hour in which we assemble and of the task which
confronts Us a S workers in American agriculture and industry. Our
members have from the start given willingly and in full understand
ing of the detectives for which the people of America fight in this war.
With the armies of our country now on the offensive, the members
of the CLIO will respond to the inspiration of the movements of our
armed forces. We pledge ourselves with renewed determination and
vigor to the fullest support and effectuaton of every step necessary
for the organization. of our home front, for the mobilization of our
economic organization for the speedy victory to which this nation,
under your leadership, is now marching with double vigor and deter
mination.

To the Editor of the Dayton Union
News:
It was to be expected that a
great amount of argument would
be made regarding the limitations
on income to $4,000. I have yet
to find any worthy arguments in
favor of the reactionary view. The
reason is undoubtedly that the
minority on this problem are too
few and that they have nothing
constructively to use as a basis
for support.
One of the promises made by
our government before the advent
of this war was that there would
be no profits made from future
wars. Everyone agreed that this
was a noteworthy aim but secretly
felt that it was good for oratorical
purposes only. But in reality the
administration, combining It's
struggle with initiation and taxa
ton, has decided to enforce it's
pledge in regard to Individual ex-
cess profits. That is what war
time salaries in excess of about
SIS, 1000 amounts to.
The ti-limitations group would
have our people believe that
governmental control of these
tremendous salaries is un-demo-
cratic and unfair. Anyone knows
that a person or family can live
most comfortably on this net
amount of $4,000. So the necessi-
ties and even luxuries of life are

Calls have already been mailed
to all Locals, urging that the
Locals send as many delegates as
possible. Since Columbus is SO
near, Dayton Locals are expected
to send some 30 delegates.
The Conference planning COM
mittee, in the Statement of Pur-
pose of the Conference, has stated
that "This war will not be won
by men alone . it will not be
won by women alone 1t will
be won by complete participation
of both" Since many of the
women now coming into Dayton
industry are new to industry and
new to our Union the main
effort of this conference will be
to take up all the problems fac
ing women in the shop in
their local Union, and in the COM
munity as a whole, AS REGARDS
THE WAR EFFORT, AND
WOMEN'S RESPONSIBILITIES
IN THE VICTORY OVER FAS-
CISM!
WOMEN today are faced with
complex responsibilities the
responsibilities of producing the
goods to beat Hitler, the RESPONSE
bility of maintaining families while
their men are in the armed SER
vices of our nation and the
responsibility of maintaining the
standards won by the men who
leave our shops SO that these
boys may return to the same high,
or even higher standards they have
been fighting for on the battle
fields.
UE members know that NO
WOMAN wants to tear down here
at home the standards and the
kind of America her boys are
fighting to protect. 1t is with this
knowledge that District 7 of the
UE is calling this conference 80.
to AID OUR WOMEN IN PRO-
TECTING THE HOMEFRONT OF
OUR NATION!
Every Dayton UE girl interested
in attending this conference is
urged to contact her Local Union
office for further information
and to be sure to attend her next
Local meeting where delegates
will be elected.

course larger amounts of our
wealth should belong to those with
the greatest desire and ambition
for work but limitation in time of
war is certainly no more I'M
democratic than the CONSUMPTION
of our manpower for the armed
services.
To many of the rich, high
salaried group, democracy means
the unlimited freedom to do any
thing to gain further great wealth.
Perhaps in peace time this atti-
tude is acceptable to the majority
but our economists have finally
learned that it is suicidal in time
of war.
Economically and morally it is
wrong to let a minority group do
as it pleases while the vast ma
jority of our millions of citizens
are sacrificing, fighting, and dy-
ing for u common sense princi-
pies of life. When you read or
hear that the limitations on these
high salaries are contrary to our
fundamentals of democracy ask
yourself what you are being told
to do and then what that group
is asking for themselves. It has
been argued that a nor equal
method of financing the war is
further taxation. The government
realizes that it has now just about
reached the zenith of taxation. At
the current rate of the cost of
living on one side and the scale
of taxation on the other, the aver
age civilian has quite a task in
merely managing a fairly decent
living.
The average person is talking
about how he is to maintain food
and shelter in the reorganizational
period Immediately after the war
but this powerful minority is cry
ing aloud about the danger of
their losing many luxuries and
future wealth. America was built
not only with the brains and skill
of the SIS, OOO-$5O0,OOO per year
person but also with the great
help of the common workers in
the factories and fields.
We all have the right of think
ing of our future but now there
must be established some equality
of sacrifice and compensation. At
the moment our government is
spending dollars that we do not
now have in order that we may
all live in peace tomorrow. To-
morrow we shall again have the
privilege of Individual wealth.
gaining but today we must work
togther to gain the collective
wealth and resources that our
government needs. If a person is
not willing for the fine sum of
SIS, 600 to work for twelve months
in these war years for the benefit
of our country he is unworthy of
the name American.
