WPB URGES BAN ON
OUTDOOR LIGHTING

Washington - The War Production
Board asked city officials civic clubs,
Chamber of Commerce, merchants and
citizens generally TO Gorcgo outdoor
decorative electric lighting at the
Christmas season.
The agency said that such lighting
required use Of critical materials, clcc-
tricity and manpowcr and was not in
line with general conservation pro-
grams now in effect. II made the re
quest. the announcement said, partly
because of inquiries from local groups
for It's opinion,
WIPE is not asking that indoor
Christmas lighting, whether in the
home or in stores, be eliminated" the
statement added, but it believes that
outdoor lighting, such as fcStooned
store fronts and decorated streets,
must be dispensed with in war time.
Although the electricity saving and
the resultant fuel saving may appear
small rs compared with the total an
nual use, nevertheless the elimination
of outdoor Christmas lighting Is cSti-
mated to save 10000 hours, or enough
10 meet the lighting and power re-
quircments Of IL city of 10000 for II
year"

been stricken iii and fallen into the

Mrs. Brown had walked to Trenton

Anti-Poll Tax Bill
Neurer Senate Vote

Washington, d. c. ULNS). = Con-
gressional action to outlaw the poll
tax i'm Federal elections moved an inn
portant step ahead when the Senate
Judiciary Committee voted out the
amended Pepper bill by Is to 3. This
measure differs somewhat from its
companion Geyer bill in the House.
An important change in the Senate
bill is the elimination of the words
Section , of Article l. from the
phrase within the meaning of Section
=, Article l of the Constitution Ac-
cording to Senator Van Nuys, this
would allow the Supreme Court to pass
on the constitutionality of the bill in
light of the entire constitution rather
than specific part.
A favorable Senate vote Will bring
it before the lower chamber for final
adoption. There it may be enacted
without change, or referred to confer
ence, or sent back to the House Judic
iary Committee which stalled the
Geyer bill for IS months.
Passage is by no means assured, as
there is determined opposition by Il
Senate group to the bill and threats
OF a filibuster have been reported.
Organized labor, the National Com
mittee to Abolish the Poll Tax and
other organizations are urging re-
newed activity in behalf of the meas
ure, to assure its enactment before the
end of Congress in December.

New Brunds-New Prices
(FrOm the Electrical Workers
JournaD

Labor has not been overjoyed at the
tration. But il should be remembered
that the OlA has had Il colossal task
and has received little or no coopera-
tiUn from amy Group. Least of all from
business men, with whom it is sup
posed, the OPA has had its greatest
success. Farmers have also stood
against control of the price system
Labor alone stood we'll toward being
the victim of control and through con
troll, would have lost the principle of
collective bar@aining.
business men, long accustomed to
side-Stepping the law, have worked out
one clever little scheme, which has per
mittcd sneak raises in prices.
The clever device is simply to change
brand names, and brand packages, and
10 fill these new cartons with the same
goods at higher prices.
The Ol'A order on prices derived
from a given date, on given brands.
But when brands did not exist on that
date, they appear to be exempt from
price control vt any rate cotfee-the

Massachusetts AFL
Leader Receives
Navy Commission
Elected SecretdrY-Tredsurer
Of Stute Federation OF
Labor In 1897

Washington, d. c. ULNS). i Ken
meth I. Taylor, secretary-treasurer ana
legislative agent of the Massachusetts
State Federation of Labor, has been
commissioned Lieutenant in the
United States Naval Reserve. lie Is
now ON active duty assigned to the
Incentive Division of the Office of the
Under Secretary of the Navy, in Wash
ingtOn.
Rear Admiral c. II. Woodward,
U.SN., (retired) is Chief of the In
centive Division which is charged with
the operation of incentive plans of the
Navy Department for the stimulation
Of production Of war material for the
Navy and with cooperation with the
War Production Drive Headquarters
of the War Production Board, and the
appropriate Offices of the War De
partment. Maritime Commission, and
other government agencies engaged in
similar tasks.
Lieutenant Taylor is well known in
labor and industrial circles. He was
especially prominent in labor-manage-
ment relations activities in New Eng
land, particularly in Massachusetts,
where he was the spokesman for the
American Federation of Labor. In 1881,
he was elected secretarytreasurer of
the Massa chuSetts State Federation OF
Labor, succeeding Robert J. Watt, now
an international representative of the
American Federation of Labor. He was
one of the first commissioners in charge
of the administration of the MasSa-
chusetts State Labor Relations Law.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, com
menting on the commissioning of an
AFL leader in the Navy, said:
II am delighted to hear that Ken
meth |. Taylor, former secretary of the
Massa chusetts State Federation of
Labor has been commissioned lieuten-
ant (senor grade) in the United States
Navy and that he is attached to the
Incentive Division. | am confident that
his services will advance and enhance
the efforts of the Incentive Division to
enlist full cooperation of all workers
and employers who are engaged in pro-
ducing war materials and equipment
for the Navy"
While Il resident of Springfield,
Mass, Taylor was president of the
| Typographical Union of that city for
several years, and in 1894 was ap-
pointed Il member of the Board of
| Public Welfare by the city of Spring
| field
In a broad sense, Lieut.. Taylor
work in the Incentive Division of the
Navy Department may be classified as
industrial relations. The general OBJ
! jective of the Division is to contribute
to the acceleration of war material pro
duction for the Navy by improving
Industrial morale, assisting in the
establishment of closer cooperation be
tween management and labor, and ere
atng unity between employees in indus
trial plants and our armed forces.
Lieut.. Taylor is now on leave OF
absence as secretary treasurer of the
Massachusetts state federation for the
! duration and IN acting secretary
treasurer has been selected. He is
Thomas T.. Wilkinson, Of Brockton
Mass. Wilkinson is president of the
Brockton Central Labor Union and fol
the past year has been labor repre-
sentative of the New England office of
the War Production Board
