SALLY A CARELESS GIRL
Sally Amber was a careless girl.

that she had lost her new sash.
She explained simply:

Not that Sally was silly or even
absentminded. II was merely that
she chung automatically 10 what
she loved, and forgot what she did
not care for.
When Sally finished high school
she faced going 10 work. There
were five younger children, and
dad was the sweetest dad IN the
world. but he never seemed TO hold
a steady job. Sally took stock OF
herself.

WEARING POPCORN RING
Then he was gone. Sally went
10 her room. She was doing the
wise thing. Why cry about it?
She put the diamond ring on the
bureau. Beside it lay the tin ring,
shabby and greenish. She really
would throw il away. She would
put on the diamond tonight.
John came at z, prompt as usual.
She kept him waiting five minutes
while she soaked the red from her
eyelids with ice. She finished dress
ing hurriedly and went down. Smil-
ing, very gay. But something was
wrong.
John was cross, gruff, strange
behavior for a fiance. He said
scarcely a word all the way down
town. Finally he stopped the car.

he accused.
"But I am" Sally cried.
She lifted her hand and stared
at it. She gasped. The third
finger was bare. She put her hand
10 her throat. Fastened there Sc
curely was the blue cord with the
popcorn ring. She had forgotten
the diamond, but inStinctively she
had put on the tin ring because 1t

She said:
"John, you're wonderful and

She jumped from the car. She

HEROIC ROLE OF
SEAMEN in WAR
ZONES STRESSED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-There
is pressing need for men with sea
experience to return to the sea in order
to man the new feet of Liberty Ships
and other vessels composing the
American merchant marine, Capt. Ed
ward Macauley, deputy administrator
of the War Shipping Administration
and a member of the U. S. Maritime
Commission, said in a radio interview
over the Blue Network.
He said it was the intention of the
War Shipping Administration to re-
cruit skilled seamen and to train new
personnel in sufficient numbers.
Capt. Macauley emphasized the he
roic role merchant marine seamen are
playing in carrying essential cargoes
to fighting fronts throughout the
world, and said they were not shrink
ing from signing up even after having
ships torpedoed from under them.
Asked what was the reaction of sea
men to torpedoing, he said:
''That question is best answered by
the men themselves. Hundreds have
been asked it when they were wet and
cold from long exposure in lifeboats-
asked it when they lay wounded and
burned in hospital beds. Almost in
variably their reply is Ship out again.
''In my opinion, these words deserve
to rank with the defances of the great
sea fighters of history-Nelson and
Perry would recognize their ring Ger
tainly they express as we'll as any I've
heard the dogged determination we
need to win the war.
"These men are accomplishing one
of the most important and heroic ef-
forts Of the war. On the most haz-
ardous voyages in history, they're TAX
ing tanks, guns, oil, planes, and other
materials of war to all the fighting
fronts"

OUR ALLIES
Edward Flore, in The Catering
Industry Employe(

A year ago, only few hours after
Nazi troops set foot on Russian soil,
Winston Churchill, in an historic mes
sage to the entire world, hailed Russia
as an ally of democracy and pledged
her the full support of the British
Empire.
Almost simultaneously, President
Roosevelt took a similar stand and
threw open to Russia the vast re-
sources of America, through the lend
lease program.
These statesmen welcomed Russia as
an ally and brushed aside political diff
ferences of the past as of no account
in the face of the desperate emergency
faced by humanity in all the world.
Thus Russia was accepted into the
family of the United Nations, whose
citizens are determined that Nazism
and Fascism must be wiped from the
face of the earth at any cost.
Fate has now joined the United
Nations in a common cause. We are
fighting, sacrificing, and serving to-
gether to destroy tyrants, and defeat
their plans for world domination. In
solemn compact these United Ma
tions have pledged their sacred honor,
their lives, their fortunes, their man.
power, and their resources to crush
Hitler and all he represents. That
means that the workers of Russia, the
United States, and Great Britain, and
all their Allies must stand together
and fight together, immovable in their
determination, that the war must be
carried on until decisive and COM
plete victory is won.

telegraph merger legislation is based
on that principle. Western Union dele
gates from all sections of the coun-
try, along with delegates from other
CTU subordinate units, helped to for
mulate CTU's policy on merger at our
convention in Toronto last fall.
s'The fact that the CTU succeeded in
securing the labor-protection provi-
sions that are Incorporated in S-2598
was due to the fact that CTU's mer-
ger policy has the Endorsement and
support Of all CTU members. Whether
or not the CTU will be successful in
securing further improvements as a
result of the hearings before the
House committee, assuming that the
proposed legislation cannot be de-
feated in the House, will depend very
largely upon the continued co-opera-
tion and support from our members
in the field, and particularly from
Western Union members"
CTU Asked Hearings
The decision by the House commit
tee to hold public hearings followed
closely formal request by the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Union, sup
ported by the American Federation of
Labor, that such hearings be held in
order that the organization might
have an opportunity to continue its
opposition to the proposed telegraph
merger, or, failing that, to secure
maximum protection for the employees
in the industry. 1t was feared that
the House committee might report the
proposed legislation out of committee
without formal hearings.

Telegraphers Urge 4O-Hour
Week to Prevent Displacement
Of Workers in Wire Merger
Union Urges 40-HOur Week Without Pay Reduction and
to Write Committeeman, Expressing Their Views.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). Pre-
vious criticism of the telegraph mer-
ger bill was reiterated and empha-
sized by spokesmen of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' Union in public
hearings before the House Committee
on Interstate Commerce. The bill,
S-2598, has been passed by the Senate.
While the bill, as approved by the
Senate, Incorporates some of the prin-
ciples advocated by the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union, it does not pro-
vide for that degree of consideration
and protection which the union feels
the employees are entitled to in the
event of a merger of the Western
Union and Postal companies, the COM
mittee was told.
Particularly the union emphasized
the necessity for the 40-hour week,
without reduction in pay, to help alb
sorb any surplus of employees that may
result from merger; and the abso-
lutte necessity for complete job pro-
lection for all employees as the only
sensible and applicable means of TAX
ing care of the complicated question
of seniority rights.
Members Urged to Act
In a message to CTU members, an
nouncing the House committee hear
ings and urging union members to
write members of the committee, tell
ing them exactly how the union feels
on the merger question, President w.
L. Allen of the union said in part:

tion Of the CTU. The position of the

ALL EMPLOYMENT
RECORDS BROKEN.
BUREAU REPORTS

New York City (ILNS).-All rec
ords for employment in the United
States were broken in May, says a
report made public by the National
Industrial Conference Board, based on
a survey by it's division of industrial
economics.
The total number of men and
women employed was 55,322,000. The
boards figures placed the excess of
employment over the normal economic
labor force tentatively at 10000.
The report directed attention to
current estimates of the War Man
power Commission, indicating that by
the end of the year the net excess of
employment over the normal labor
force might mount to 100000.
:. Employment Above Labor Force :.
Son the basis of preliminary esti-
mates, the gain in May brought the
figure for total employment above the
estimated number of persons who COM
pose the nations economic labor
force" the conference board declared.
"Not since May October, 1929, has the
level of employment ever before sur
passed the number of persons nor
mally in the labor market.
Mounting acceleration of induc-
tions into the armed forces, additional
farm employment which has not yet
reached it's seasonal peak, and the
necessity for continued expansion of
the number on war production pay
rolls will further widen this gap be-
tween total labor requirements and
total habitual workers.
GAS in other periods of extreme in
dustrial activity, such labor require
ments can no longer be met simply
through tapping the pool of habitual
gainful workers, but must be met in
creasingly through the attractions OF
persons who customarily do not enter
the labor market"
In contrast with the situation in
May it was noted that in April unem.
ployment totaled 100000; in May
1941, 100000, and in May, 1910
100000.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Call-
ing upon President Roosevelt and Con-
gress to reject all arbitrary proposals
for wage-freezing by legislation or
decree, William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
made public here the federation's pro-
gram for initiation control, based upon
the principle of equality and sacrifice.
"To date this principle has been
disregarded," the program charged
"Only wages are being subjected to
CONTROL" it was added. "Exorbitant
personal and corporate profits from
war production are daily reported in
the press. Even greater profits are
concealed by clever accounting devices.
Food prices continue to rise. There
are no price ceilings on some 25 farm
commodities.

goat for the administrative deficiency
in the initiation control to date. There
must be one unified policy of initiation
control equally applied to all groups
and enforced by active and free par
ticipation, willing and understanding,
on the part of the people themselves" !"
In announcing the federation's pro-
gram, Green strongly emphasized the
Importance of imitation control, de-
claring it is matter of life and death
to every worker.
"In the midst of our war against
the Axis Powers, we are faced with
another, internal war against infa-
tion," Green continued. "Selfsh in
terests are trying to win the battle
against initiation by making the great
masses of our people the victims.
This is the surest way of losing the
war against Hitler.
Says Labor Stands
To Lose Most
Labor hates and fears initiation
more than any industrialist or capital
list or public official. The wealthy will
lose only part of the value of their
money from imitation. The workers
stand to lose their health and their
lives.
''But labor values freedom above
life itself and it will unalterably
and uncompromisingly oppose
with all its strength any attempt
to destroy it's economic freedoms
on the pretext of preventing in
fiatiOn.
"This is why the American Fedora
tion of Labor now submits to the
President and to Congress a program
of imitation control which safeguards
labor's democratic rights yet effec-
lively anchors the cost of living and is
fair to ALL"
