easily have been source of weakness here, as
it was in England, had it not been for Gem

In 1889, the production Of the Carboloy
Company was less than 10000 lbs.; in 1870,
it was $1,000 lbs; in Io41, it was I63,ooo-
and in December came Pearl Harhor. Now,
in I942, the Company's production is going
at rate that is IS times that of only four
years ago.
Britain Dependent upon Us %. BY contrast,
British companies, which had been content
to- continue as customers of Krupp, !ou7d
themselves cut off from the vital material
when Poland was invaded. But the General
Electric Company was able to supply sub
stantal quantities to British industry inn
mediately and since then has continuously
filled British orders 1t has, in like mar ner,
filled Canada's requirem snts since 1896. 1t is
currently supplying Canada, Russia, and
other United Nations. All this in add: On to
supplying the greatly expanded needs Of
American industry.

More Precious Than Diamonds in War Produe.

More Precious Ihun Diamonds in War ProdUe-
ton -. CarboIoy is an American trade
mark for cemented ungsten-carbide, an
alloy second only to diamonds in hardness,
more precious than diamonds as vital
material in Americas war program. il is
used for the tips OF cutting tools, and for
wear-resistant dies. Carholoy is used in
small quantities; it is difficult TO make
and difficult to use. but it has never been
scarce in modern times. There is no scarcity
now.

J. s. paa.ea1s . Cemented carbide was in
vented in Germany-it belonged to krupp
OF Germany, and this made all the rest of t'.c
world Krupp's customer. In this countr,
Krupp was protected by patent grants from
the United States.
General Electric Creates Independent Prcdue-
ton .. The General Electric Company two
years before this had begun research on
tungsten-carbide and foresaw its importance
in industrial production. For immediate use
in its own'pants and for easier availability to
Others, General Electric undertook the long
and arduous negotiations for the American
rights. Limited rights we're obtained in 1923,
with Krupp continuing to export the mate
rial to its United States customers-a bust
ness which langushed, however, as General
Electric painstakingly developed its own
Carbcloy technique This paved the way for
General Electric to make the United States

cemented tungsten-carbide supply as early
as 1896.

MRS. KATHERINE WILLIAMSON

MRS. KATHERINE WILLIAMSON
 A short time ago I read quite a write-up of this lady, who had been a proofreader for the NesO York Times and is now on its pension list. It was very accurate account of the record of this lady. When I met her first, she was a delegate to the Denver Trades Assembly Qabor Council) from Typographi- cal Union No. 49 of that city.
 A tall, handsome and very able woman, a fine speaker and as a lobbyist for labor laws before the Legislature she was excellent. She was a leader in the very influential Women's Clubs of Colorado and served as Chairman of their legis- Iative committee. Upon the crea- ton of the Factory Inspection De- partment of the state it was stipu- lated in the law that one of the six inspectors was to be a woman and Mrs. Williamson received this ap- pointment. Later she resigned to run for Congress.

 at time-and-a-half, the cost of his labor increases 1O@o. But the say. ings from increased production more than offset the expense of overtime. The unit cost of the prod uct is lowered. The employer is better off and the Government can get break. The U. S. Chamber of Commerce knows these facts. as we'll as they know of the fabulous profits being made Uith the pay ment of overtime.
 HERE'S THE TRUTH ABOUT STRIKES: There are no strikes worth worrying about in American war industries today. That is be- cause the war workers of America, through their trade unions, gave F.D.R. their solemn pledge right after Pearl Harbor that they would not quit work for any reason as long as the war lasts. Here in Con- necticut, we were the first state in the Union to sign a 'sVictory Com pact" The great majority of Amer ican workers in war industries are keeping the faith, and they have no use for anyone who breaks it.
