Place of U. S. Women
In Wartime Outlined

The position of women in the war
was outlined yesterday to Trinity
College graduates and undergrad
yates by Anne Sarachon Hooley, a
Trinity graduate and director of the
womens division of the National
Catholic Community Service.
Miss Hooley divided the women of
America in wartime into three
groups-thoSe employed in war in
dustry plants who are strangers to
the community in which they work
those in the military and industrial
areas either as family members or
serving the families of soldiers, and
those remaining at home.
A reception followed the address,
after which the senior class men,
bers were the dinner guests of the
alumnae association. The alumnae
directors have been holding a two

Navy Yard Seeking
Women to Inspect
Ordnance Parts

More women workers are
wanted at the Navy Yard.
Faced with a shortage of male
help, the Civil Service Commits
sion today called for feminine
trainees for ordnance-inspec-
ton work, including such items
as fuses, detonatorS, primers
and igniters.
The pay ranges from 1892 to
$4.88 a day, with time and one
half for overtime after 40 hours.
Applicants must be in sound
health. The principal basis for
selection will be a mechanical
aptitude test.
About 200 women already are
employed at the local yard, and
others are in service at ord
nance establishments elsewhere.

Even with bombers roaring over
head, it was necessary to ''seI" to
the British people the idea that they
were very much in the war, the
Commerce Department article de-
clared. UNFRAMED observers of
human reaction might think that a
few stories in the papers now and

or donating or selling binoculars to
the fighting services, and other war
time needs, would be sufficient to
cause the people to respond prop

To eliminate the possibility OF

In the case Of general contractor
awarded munitions plant project,
Mr.. Madigan explained, the bid
would be broken down into several
parts. The general contractor would,
for example, build only the main
plant, while contracts for roads,
water and sewers, electric lines and
power plants and the homes for
workers, If any are planned for the
project, could be subcontracted to
specialized firms In these fields.
These subcontracts, Mr.. Madigan
pointed out, approved by the War

giving wider participation by local
construction firms in the rev con-

The Second Front
BY RUTH TAYLOR

The second front is already opened.
Its firing line is in our factories, our
our workshops throughout
the entire length and breadth of our
land.
In our first days Of unpreparedness,
this was our only line Of defense. We
have had to make up for lost time,
wasted machinery, neglected man
power But we are catching up,
Now we have gone beyond defense.
We are taking the offensive in prOduc-
tion. The second front is opening up.
The men of Labor working together
with their fellow Americans Of Indus
try must supply more and more guns.
more and more ships and more and
more planes in an ever increasing
stream until the river of production
overflowS its banks and browns the
Axis in ii mighty torrent of machinery.
As Lieut.. General Somervcll said ::
When Hitler put his war on wheels
ne ran il straight down our alley
When he hitched his chariot to an in
ternal-combuStiOn engine. he opened up
"A new battle front-the front that we
know we'll"
The workshops Of democracy are the
second front of the war In them will
we prove again that free men can out
produce as well as Outright slave labor.
Here is the testing ground for the
democratic ideals we have foStered,
and here too is the testing ground for
unionism. On this ground Will be given
the answer to the age old query, how
responsible Is free man?
We will have to do better than our
best in this war. This is not a war of
classes, this is not a war of nations
this is war of freedom against deS-
potism, Of democracy against tyranny.
1t is the war of the average man. who
want to be left alone to live his own
life, to do his own work where he
wishes. to raise his children 50 they
may climb to greater heights, to wor-
ship God in his own way.
This is the war of all Of us. To win
it we need all AmerCanS-the zeal and
energy of the workers, the technical
skill Of the engineers and scientists,
the organizing skill of the industrial
managers all working together for
one common end.
We must fight on the second front
ogether-utiliZing the experiences of
all of us. teaching, training new men
and Scti ling WhatpNpr differences we
may have after an intelligent and I'M
deretanding discussion of the matter
from all sides.
With such IA second front firmly
established, not only can we crush the
enemy but we can establish the firm
foundations of a world in which there
| will be peace and justice for all.

Green Demands
Action On Anti
Poll Tax Bill

Washington, ID. {. President Will
ton of Labor urged officers of State
federationS of labor and city central
bodies to request their members of the
House of Representatives 10 sign the
petition inStructing the Judiciary Com
mittee to report the anti-poll tax bill
to the House.
The American Federation of Labor
has endorsed the Anti-pOll Tax mea
sure II. II. 1924" Mr.. Green said. This
measure provides for the abolition Of
the poll tax requirement for voting in
elections which is in effect in Il number
of states.
I'VE maintain that American citizens
should be accorded the right TO vote
Internationally and that the payment
of poll tax should not be imposed as
Il condition for voting in either IA prim-
AIRY or general election.
This bill is held in the House
Judiciary Committee and said COM
mittee has refused TO report ii to the
House for vote. We believe that if the
bill was reported to the House that Il
ma iority of the Members of Congress
would vote to abolish the poll tax legis-
latiOn. A petition is being circulated
among the Members Of Congress call
ing upon the House Judiciary Commit
, tee to report the bill for passage. More
than 141 Members of Congress have
signed the petition. 21S signatures are
required before the petition becomes eff
fective."

Because of the urgent need for con

existing properties are considered ap-
propriate purposes for loans insured
under this phase of the FILA program.
If undertaken promptly, essential
work of this kind usually requires the
outlay of only relatively small sums,

by maintenance of values and by avoid
ance of the major repairs that would
otherwise be required later on, the
FILA says.

maze puDlc Tor the nrSt time the text
of the AFL proposal made to Sir
Walter Citrine, general secretary of
the British Trades Union Congress
when he met with the AFL executive
council at Washington last May %.
Citrine proposed formation of an
alliance of the labor movements of
Britain, the United States and the
Soviet Union which would call for an
exchange of visits by trade union dele
gates from the three nations
Counter-PropOsal Submitted
The AEL submitted counter-prO-
pOsal for creation of an Anglo -Ameri-
can Trade Union Committee to meet
alternately in the United States and
England. This committee, it was Sug-
geSted, could, through the British mem
bers, "act as a liason with the trade
unions of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics on any matter of direct con-
Germ to the trade unions which may
arise"
Thus. direct relations with the
Soviet unions were avoided. The AFL
has frequently denounced the Russian
unions as creatures of the Soviet die
tatorship, though it has paid high
tribute to the Russian workers for
their courage and spirit in the face Of
Hitler's attack.
CIO May BE Included
The AFL proposal carried the pro-
yso that the federation may include
lin the representation of American
labor the representation of any other
bona fide trade union body" which
was understood to cover the possible
inclusion of the CIO and the inde-
pendent railroad brotherhoods.
After outlining organization of the
Anglo-American Trade Union Commit
tee, the proposal said:
"It is our firm judgment that through
the medium of the AnglO-Soviet Trade
Union Committee the British members
of that committee will keep themselves
fully Informed of matters concerning
the trade unions of Soviet Russia. Thus
we will be able to further our deter
minaton to render all practical aid to
the Russian workers in the prosecution
of the war"
Workers Courage Praised
The declaration recalled the assist
ance given by the AFL ''tO the workers
of all lands fighting on the side of
democracy" and concluded:
"The whole of our program has been
based on the threat of invasion and
domination by the forces of NaziSn
and Hitlerism. We express unbounded
admiration for the dauntless courage
of the working people of Great Britain
and Russia and of all the United Ma
tionS in their valiant resistance to the
powers of deSpotism and of barbaTism
and to the workers of all lands tenn
