ONE YEAR OF WAR
This week is the anniversary OF a date that we
will long remember. The blow in the back that we
took awakened every American to the call to arms,
and in this past year have allied many nations into a
solid fighting front.
Reverses aDere taken on many fronts and for months
all neos ,oas bad neus. Today ,0e are dishing out a bit OF
the trials and tribuIations that last gear, tDe took!
One year ago, many obstacles faced Labor. Con-
version layoffs were a small part of the difficulties.
We were forced to fight those arrangements who re-
fused to convert at all!
We still haze the "business as usual" dollar Iouing
patriots. The list is small and steadily diminishing =.
The past year has seen a record established for
Labor. A RECORD THAT WE ARE PROUD OF ! !
A record Of increased production A record OF
women workers producing arms for America and our
Allies. A record of planes, guns, tanks, and fighting
equipment for all Of the United Nations :.
Labor has furnished the man-po1Der, the money, and the
material that has brought the turn of the tide In fauor of
the nations fighting Fascism 49,.
The end is NOT in sight! We must do more. More pro-
duction, more men, more tares, and more Bonds. N Al
Fl A M TIME WE MUST PROTECT THE AMERICAN
SOLDIER AND THE AMERICAN r III
Labor must look ahead to the postwar period of
reconstruction. Labor must guard the jobs and the
American rights of the soldiers who will return to
those jobs. Consolidation Of organization, education
to the workers, and legislation to further the progress
Of the American worker.
We still have a big job to do, in the shops, at the
polls, and IN the home of every American!

Fathers Day
Fathers day origin is a subject
iof dispute. According to one state
ment it was first celebrated in the
United States in June, 1910. Mrs.
John Bruce Dodd, Spokane, Wash,
began a movement in 1909 to honor
fathers; Mrs. Walter Hamlet Bur-
CESS of Virginia, now Cheltenham,
had National Fathers Day, Inc,
registered in the U. S. Patent Office
in 1921. Other claimants to honor of
founding day include Mrs. Charlotte
L. Kirkbride and Mrs. Carrie Stern
berg, of Philadelphia, and Harry c.
Meek, of Chicago. Fathers day is
now celebrated the third Sunday in
June. Another authority says Fa-
theirs day was first celebrated in
Philadelphia on June 10, 1911, land
had it's origin from the celebration
of Mothers day, inaugurated by
Miss Anna Jarvis of that CITY,"

Babylon Is Not Dead

No, Babylon is not dead!
I saw Babylon yesterday
In the grinning face of red-cap
In Pennsylvania Station.
And later, in the movements
Of dark girls body in a cabaret.
And only last night, saw Babylon
Preaching against race hatred
From stepladder, on Lenox avenue.
No, Babylon is not dead!
heard Babylon, when dark girl sang:
"Prn so glad, my troubles won't last always"
Babylon is in the oppressed races
Rising from under the yoke of oppression.
Perhaps Babylon did sleep for while;
But Babylon never died
This is the day of Babylon's awakening.

! GSSo
Mr.. Pullman, who won fame an
Company and inadvertently the
Pullman porter, would have made
an ace detective on any city's police
force. To go further, ]. Edgar
Hoover would have welcomed him
ON his hand-picked staff of Omen.
Most people have five senses
feeling, smelling, seeing, tasting,
hearing. He had another, a rare
sixth sense, but nobody except his
intimate acquaintance would have
given him credit for having an
/ ounce of it. This sixth sense, a
cunning piece of mechanism, which
could start at the will of the unique
man, was used in business as well
as in pleasure. George M. Pullman
by looking at man could tell his
occupation.
The founder of the great sleep
ing car company had departed
from his office and was making
his way along one of the famous
public thoroughfares of Chicago
when he met a friend-a very close
friend-who suggested they con-
tinue walking three or four blocks
for the exercise and for CONVERSE
ton.
Both Mr.. Pullman and his friend
were impeccably dressed in the
fashion of the day-Prince Albert
coats, striped pants, high silk
hats and highly polished black
shoes.
II can't seem to contact them at
ALL" said Pullman to his friend.
Either something gone wrong or
else. :" He never finished the
line. Chances passed from one to
another.
In a dreamlike manner walking
toward them was a handsome,
brownskin, athletically built, Ne
gro. From the cravat at his throat
to the shoes on his feet, from all
appearances, he was a gentleman
and a man of honor. Had he been
schOOled in the thought Keep up
your appearances whatever you
do? That sixth sense of Mr.. Pull
man began to click.
The colored man, too, was
dressed in the height of fashion.
| His Prince Albert was ching of
beauty and a joy forever" Superb
hand needlework had been lavished
upon it. The choicest woods had
gone into its making and the cloth
had been doomed by masters of the
art. The coat had been made to
exacting specifications and cut to
give the waistline an illusion of
slimness with all the newest style
details and quality tailoring.
His mirrored polished shoes, his
razOredged pressed pants, his high
silk hat setting at the exact angle,
70 were manners"
Observing all this in the first in
curing glance with which visitor
surveys place that is new to him,
Mr.. Pullman turned and looked at
his friend. The friend saw nothing
but the fiawlessly dressed Negro
coming toward them.
| The smartly dressed pedestrian,
with an air of authority and with
the walk of a Lord Chesterfield,
was getting nearer.
George" said the friend to
Pullman, 81 have been told that
you can tell a mans occupation by
just looking at him. I'll wager you
five dollars that you cannot guess
the occupation of the scholarly
looking gentleman coming toward
u.s."
81 thought no one knew my
little secret until I accidentally
heard some of my friends discuss
ing me. I'll guarantee you I have
never seen the man before in my
| life-but it's a bet" said Mr.. Pull
