The soldier or sailor with his

as much at a bar as he will from

most certainly he prefers the
bar with its congenial and lively

The Brighter Side

IN SOME military areas of the
Il United States. notably on the
Pacific Coast. bars are closed at
midnight and liquor stores much
earlier.
OF course the immediate re-
suit has been the temperance

logger. the speakeasy, the bot
tie club and the various other
forms of surreptitious and illegal
distribution of liquor long famil-

II has been demonstrated time
and again that any attempt to
keep our people from getting
booze is just wasted effort
| think the theory of the early
closing in the military areas
sound enough from a moral
standpoint because the idea is TO
keep down the drinking of hard
stuff among The soldiers and
sailors, but as practical propo-
Sition il will not work out.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2s..-The
second constitutional convention of
the CIO United Federal Workers
OF America was in adjournment
today after the $50 delegates had
formulated demands for higher
wages and improved living condi-
tions for Government workers.
Ending a three day session at the
Rittenhouse Hotel yesterday, the
union voted a resolution urging i'm
mediate adoption of "the Presi-
dents wage program" which calls
for time -and-one-h pay after 40
hours-and adding:
The efficiency of thousands of
Government workers is now ham,
pered by inadequate living stand
ards, since adequate wages won't
buy good housing when there is
none available, there must be ef-
fectuated low-cost housing pro-
grams for Federal employees. The
necessity of longer hours of work
and overcrowding in many centers
creates problems which can be
solved only by instituting health
and recreation programs for Gov
ernment workers and by making
provision for hospital and nursery
facilities where necessary.
Another resolution demanded a Is
per cent pay raise in line with the
little steel", formula worked out
by the War Labor Board.
The convention charged that pro-
motion transfer and training pro-
grams in the Government are "cha.
otlc" and reiterated recommends
tions for improved personnel ma
chinery to obtain better use of
manpower. Reputed discriminat ton
against Negro workers was described
as an important factor in the waste
of personnel. $50 r
