Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - Off
cially inaugurating Labor Invests in
Victory Week." President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor pledged the five million fedora
tion members to invest one billion dol
lars of "their hard-earned wages" this
year in defense bonds and stamps.
President Green spoke with Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau over
the Blue Network. Special meetings
were held all over the nation by A. F..
of L. unions to hear the broadcast and
to further the A. F. of L. defense bond
drive.
Announcing that A. F. of l.. unions
had already bought or subscribed for
a total of more than $200,000,000
worth of defense bonds, Green re-
ported that every mail arriving at his
office was flooded with new pledges.
II cannot enumerate here all the
splendid achievements reported to
date" said Green, "but would like to
mention few outstanding examples.
One state federation alone promises
that A. F. of l.. members in its juris-
diction will buy 100 million dollars
worth of bonds before the year is out.
Another state federation has mapped
a 0-million-dollar purchasing pro-
gram.
Allotment Plans Arranged
"a single union has already ar
ranged a payroll allotment plan COW
ering all it's members which guaran-
tees the purchase of 25 million worth
A dozen other unions have adopted
similar plans for five million dollars
or more.
Local unions-and there are some
10000 of them in the federation-are
likewise going all-out in this drive
They are promoting more and more
agreements whereby employers will
deduct specified amounts from the
weekly paycheck of each worker to.
ward the purchase Of bonds for these
| workers"
President Green told Secretary Nor
genthau that he firmly expected every
union worker under the banner of the
American Federation of Labor to ar
range stamp and bond purchases or
systematic basis.
Bonds for Victory Stressed
"While the national quota of oul
organization for the year is one bill
lion dollars" the federation head said
'the personal quota Of each individual
member is only $3.85 week. All yor
have to do-each and every one of yol
is to put not less than 1885 aside
each week this year for the purchase
of defense bonds and stamps and oul
goal will be more than fulfilled"
Throughout his talk President
| Green emphasized that each pur-
chase of defense bond or stamp
is giving America helping hand

and aiding in speedy victory.
In ending, he appealed to A. F. of l..
members to heed their country's call
and said:
"This afternoon, in a symbolic cere-
money before the statue of the Minute
Man at Concord, the officers of the
Massachusetts State Federation of
Labor pledged with upraised hands
that labor will do its part.
Tonight, on the birthday of the
father of our country, | ask each one
of you in the name of God, in the name
of America and in the name of hu-
manity to repeat that pledge with me:
We will do our part for victory"
Magnificent Example" Praised
Secretary Morgenthau called the
A. F. of L. bond drive "a magnificent
example to the whole country" and
pointed out it was the largest pledge
to come to the treasury from any
single organization.
"Organized labor in this country, "
the Secretary declared, "has always
recognized Fascism for what it is, and
has known from the beginning that
the Fascist system was a deadly men,
ace to our free institutions.
eve know that we are not safe
even here in America We know that
unless we and our Allies win this
war there will be no survival of free
trade unions, no liberation of the mil
lions of workers now enslaved abroad
no continuance of the rights that we
have won in generations of struggle
here at home, no chance to win bet
ter future for the working men ano

VIGOROUS DRIVE BY
WPA TO PLACE MEN
in FARM PROGRAM

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Antici-
pating seasonal farm labor demands
and the effect of reduced supply as
a result of the war, Howard 0. Hunter,
Work Projects commissioner, has or
dered a vigorous farm placement
program" in each state.
A reduction of $4,000 in WPA en-
ployment is scheduled for March, en-
tirely as result of this program.
Tentative plans call for an equal or
greater reduction in April.
Large reductions in the WPA rolls
of agricultural areas are certainty"
Hunter said. eve will close all our
operations in some counties, as in pre-
vious years, where this is necessary to
meet the demand for farm labor.
To Meet Farm Demands
"The net reduction in WPA employ
ment will depend largely on the num-
Der of displaced industrial workers
needing our help in areas temporarily
hard hit by conversion of plants to war
production. Considerably more than
$4,000 will leave WPA rolls in March
for farm jobs, but it is equally certain
that the need for employment will rise
sharply in some cities and we cannot
afford idleness when there is SO much
important work to be done.
"Our farm placement program will
be thoroughly decentralized and will
offer every possible assistance in meet
ing labor demands promptly"
WPA e-employment representatives
in each agricultural county are to ar
range in advance to meet local farm
labor demands so far as workers are
available. Proportionately larger re-
ductions in WPA rolls are scheduled
in Southern agricultural areas in
March, with heavier cuts in Northern
states to follow as soon as justified by
climatic conditions.
To Work With Other Agencies

cultural areas Will nave Speclal re-

in carrying out the farm placement

sued A close relationship has beer
established in each state with the Farm
Placement Service of the United
States Employment Service, the Bu
reau of Agricultural Economics, the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra
tion and all the various agencies in

During the last six months of 1914.
more than $4,000 farm jobs were
filled by WPA workers, according t.

After a three under par in the
opening round, a stroke better
than any rival, he added three
successive SOS to finish five
shots ahead of the field. The only
other player to subdue par 35-

Red Wings Dive
into 9Th Place

DETROIT, JAN. 19-tHC-The
Detroit Red Wings, who live
spectacularly if not profitably,
dived into sixth place in the Ma
tional Hockey League yesterday
by falling before the Brooklyn
Americans, S to 3.
The Sunday matinee at Olym-
pia, before 7,847 spectators,
found the Wings jumping into a
lead in the first period on Mud
Bruneteau's goal and then being
showed under by four successive
counters from the Amerks.
Brooklyn, which took over
fifth place from Detroit by win
ming, tied the score almost i'm
mediately on Harry Watson's
goal and rang in three more in
the second period. Tommy An
derson and Wilt Field got a goal
each and Watson his second.
Bruneteau got a second goal for
Detroit in a futile third period
rally.
The last time home the Red
Wings whipped Montreal, 10 to
0, and yesterday, their first visit
back after a long road tour, they
yielded the largest number of
goals scored against them this
season.

Bamboo Poles
Used to Build
Simple Outfit

The correct way to hold the
sail while skating Is with the
left arm around the long strip,
or, il the second type sail Is
used, by grasping the shorter side
piece.
SAILING TERMS USED
If the sheet of ice on which
you skate is long and narrow
and the wind Is coming from
the north, start sailing at the
extreme northern end of the
field of ice. Place the sail be-
hind you and run before the
wind.
To tack, you skate at an angle
with the wind, either to right or
left, in a zigzag manner, working
your way along. With a little
practise you can do this with
surprising speed.
If the wind blows from the
east, you will find that by
merely setting your sail at the
proper angle, you can 60 up and
down the field without lacking.
This is the real adventure of
sail skating, and it is known as
quartering.
Sailing terms are used.
If you're a better than average
skater and know a thing or two
about sailing, here's a sport
made to order.

other four feet long.
II you do not have bamboo,
use one and one-quarter inch
ash or white pine, well cured,
selecting only strong pieces that
are free from knots and imper-
fections. These tend to break in
the wind. The ends are securely
fastened together with nail-pins.

Make a two-inch hem along the
