British-American
Labor Links

A new and powerful mechan-
ism to amplify labor's voice in
postwar planning has emerged
with formation recently of a
joint permanent committee rep
resenting the American Fedora
tion of Labor and the British
Trade Unions Congress. Not on
ly does the committee provide a
new basis for united action by
two of the worlds most powerful
trade union organizations, but
it's primarily political aspect
makes it a useful supplement to
the formal ties which now link
the United States and Great
Britain.
Formed at time when La
boris views on postwar policy are
commanding fresh attention, the
committee appears likely to sur
pass in significance previous in
ternational labor union group
ings. This is particularly true
in view of the indirect link forg-
ed with the Russian trade un-
ions. For although the A. F. of
l.. rejected the original British
T. U. C. proposal that Russia be
included in the committee, liason
with Russia nevertheless exists
through the Anglo-Soviet trade
union committee formed earlier
this year.
The absence of the CLIO. is
due largely to the fact that the
AT. of l.. has maintained friend
ly ties with the T. U. C. and was
probably approached first for
that reason. Present plans leave
the door open for "other bonafide
union groups" and if the gap be-
tween the two major American
trade unions can be narrowed eff
fectively, a CLIO. representative
may yet attend the committees
tri-annual sittings.
With the CLIO. and the Rus
sian trade unions represented,
the committee would speak with
authority of nearly 40,000,000
workers. Such a coordinating
organization could go far in
meeting the new and greater re-
sponsibilities with which labor is
almost certain to be entrusted in
the planning of postwar policy.

Going back ninety-two years, it
is evident from official records
that the main object of printers
was then to safeguard their ec-
onomic interests. In fact, the Ma
tional Convention of Journeymen
Printers in 1850 unanimously
recommended "to all Topographic
cal associations to abolish the So
called benefit system" Just what
this benefit system was does not
appear, but whatever it may have
been it is evident printers at that
time did not approve Of eXtrane-
Gus activities regarding welfare
of members.
1t is but fair to state that Phil
adelphia priters had under con-
sideration a retreat for members
of the local association of union
printers in that city, and posi-
bly, in that state, as is borne out
by references in early records to
such an institution, from time to
time.
Prior to 1857, SO far as records
show, such an institution as
national home for incapacitated
printers was not given serious
consideration. In that year, how
ever, at the New Orleans conven-
tion of the National Topographic
cal Union William S. Bond, mem
'er of the National Executive
Committee, from Detroit, Mich,

1t is with a feeling of pardon

which is made possible by fellow
members at the modest cost Of
but 40 cents per member per
month.
For the benefits it has dispens-
ed, and for those it will continue
to give to coming generations,
members of the union have great
reason to be thankful. Where

Trades Unions Know
Dollar Counts

A truth that trade unions are
beginning to understand is that
the dollar counts in business. A
right which not even the courts
may dispute is that a man may
spend his wages in whatever way
he sees fit. Union men are
awakening to the fact that their
dollars count, and the union dol
lar in business is a factor that
cannot be ignored, and is an arg
ument of great weight. Manu-
facturers have to depend upon
the patronage of workmen for
the success of their business, and
the workmen are becoming alive
to that fact. A union dollar
spent for principle is a hammer
that has driven the truth home
to many an unfair employer, and
the union mans dollar is coming
more into evidence every day.
Make your dollar count for the
fair workday and union condi-
tions by refusing to purchase any
product of unfair employers.
The unionizing of a shop may be
more readily accomplished by
Withholding your patronage and
that of your friends than in any
other way. Demand the union
label!

Army Training Films
Are Made Available
10 Latin Nations
Movies Designed to Help
Instruct Troops in
Use Of U. S. Weapons

The War Department yesterday
Informed Latin American military
attaches that $50 Army training
films are being made available in
Spanish and Portuguese editions.
One OF the major purposes OF the
movie is to train Latin American
soldiers in the use of weapons sent
them by the United States under
lease-lend.
At showing Of half q dozen Of
the pictures in the Archives Build
ing, the attaches saw how the films
can be instructive-in learning how
to recognize an enemy plane, how
to trap a heavy tank, how to fire a
60 nm. mortar. and even In UNDER
standing how to ride motorcycle.
All the movies were originally
made for United States troops, un-
der direction of Col. Richard T.
Schlosberg. Five weeks ago in the
old Paramount studio on Long
Island, N. Y, the Army began dub
bing Spanish and Portuguese voices
into the films. To do the job, they
picked Aldo Ermini, a civilian with
the Signal Corps a linguist born in
Italy who has been an ace camera
man and director in Hollywood and
London He called for the services
of foreign broadcast announcers in
New York and put their Latin words
into the mouths of American SOL
diers in the films.

liaison officer, is making arrange
ments to ship the films.

The woman who grew up with a fine, upright posture in walking will find 1t easy to sit correctly also, es- pecially after she has discovered by experience that bad sitting posturss bring on fatigue.
 If you haven't already learned to do so--start now to sit up straight. This is a prime anti-weariness rule for the woman whose new job keeps her sitting in one spot all day in an office or factory.
 Your sitting posture may make or break your figure, too.
 As most women know, the best way to correct standing posture is the perfectly simple and obvious ona of practicing standing upright. Women who do not really know exactly what that means are ad- vised to stand against Q wall and straighten the back against 1t. The same procedure applies to sitting correctly.

- EIslXIji;Ss 7slI3axdl OPA Has Its Eye On Needle Shortage
By ANN FRANCE WILSON
 NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Washington, Nov. 30- Have you noticed how difficult it is to buy plain, ordinary sewing needles? Here's the background on the tenn porary s,hortage-and dort worry it is only temporary.
 There's no domestic manufacture of sewing needles. In perwar days the United States imported needles from Britain, Japan and Germany. Now, of course, they come solely from Britain.
 However, the British changed the packaging of needles, included fewer needles and lowered their prices. The Office of Price Administration felt that the price had not been re- duced in accordance with the new packages and set lower price ceil- ing on the needles than importers are willing to sell them for
 Well-the importers finally had to give in and have released $600.000 worth of needles under the new OPA ceiling prices. So, you won't have to go looking for needles in haystacks-they'll be released to re- tail stores soon.
 White Sales
 Don't expect large January white sales this year. There may be a few isolated sales, but large stores won't try to induce housewives to stock ID on sheets and towels. Rea- son is that the Army will need all sheets 63. 72 and 8i inches wide and all towels 22x24 now in the hands Of manufacturers until spring.
 However. department store stocks would keep America well furnished with sheets for a long time to come. So don't rush out and buy sheets there'll be plenty of them. Sales Just won't be promoted.
 Holidays Fowls
 There's been a great hullabaloo plus innumerable artieles-about saving the grease from your holi- day turkeys. geese and bason. All that's very fine, but patriotic zeal and the prospect of cents alpound from the butcher shouldn't obscure the main reason for the campaign.
 That reason slmmers down to this: Both the Department Of Agriculture and the WIPES Conservation Divis- ion want you to save fats and grease, and sell them. But 1t won't do any good If you dutifully save the grease from your skillet. turn 1t in-and

THE WOMEN-- ''Make It Last" Drive Might Help Salvage Marriage, Too
WE, THE WOMEN

Americans are abiding by rules these days to prolong the life Of all their material possessions-so they should be able to take equal ly careful precautions to preserve the happiness of their marriages. RULES FIT PROBLEMS
 The rules the Chicago couple drew up and followed wouldn't work for any other couple, since they applied only to the couples particular prob lens. For instance. one rule was that the wife, who likes to place an occasional bet on a race, could bet up to a $2 limit. And, that the husband. who likes drink now and then, could drink. but not too much, and only on Saturday nights.
 Another couple might not care about either of those things enough to fight over them.
 But any couple that isn't getting along very well could draw up their own set of commandments. using the principle the judge laid down for the Chicago couple.
 The principle Is simply for each partner to let the other indulge. moderately. his own tastes whether or not they appeal to the other.
