Phil Blum Wed

We have a report that Phil
Blum, well known Dayton attorney
and legal representative of Local
755, Delco, has joined the ranks
of the married men. Phil has done
a lot of work in the interests of
Labor in Dayton, and we wish
him happiness in his newly &C
quired status as the head (O of
the family.
Phil Blum was of great service
to the CLIO in the strike of the
Transport Workers of the City
Railways last year. An able lawyer
and a real believer in the rights
of the working men and women,
Blum expresses his best wishes to
the CLIO Locals membership and
his hopes to become better &C
quainted with all Union workers.
America-We Stand United (!
~Tabulations from the joint
labor-management headquarters
in Philadelphia on the industry
wide War Bond drive in the hos
iery industry, being conducted by
the American Federation of Hos
iery Workers, CLIO and three EN-
ployer associations, showed that
one-fourth Of the 60 firms partici-
pating have achieved the 1917 Of
payroll goal. The unionized branch
of the hosiery industry embraces
10000 workers.

The papers supporting Jeffrey
have mentioned chickens so often
during this campaign that we sus-
pect those. feathered fowls with
having some sinister bearing on
his past life! Could it be that at
some time little Harry was known
to have pushed little chicks in the
water when the hen wasn't look
ing?
However, such frivolous talk is
beside the point. The issue is
whether a vote for Harry Jeffrey
would add anything to the prestige
of Labor. The answer is plain and
clear. IT WOULD NOT -!
We therefore ask our member
ship to vote for Greg Holbrock for
the Congressman from the Third
District. We can promise our
workers that Holbrock, an able
lawyer in his own right, will never
choose the side of management in
a dispute with Union workers.

Special thanks are being issued

Jeffrey Not Endorsed!

An adv. does NOT mean endorsement! We wish to make this
clear to the membership of every CLIO Local in this area. AS a lawyer
who was very active in his defense of management in a still remem-
bered Labor case, WE DO NOT ENDORSE HARRY JEFFREY.
Certain circumstances beyond our control demand that W run
his advertisement, but that does not change or opinion. We really
and truly believe that Harry P. Jeffrey is the very opposite of the
type of an individual Labor needs in Congress-!
Harry has used some very logical rdicule in his campaign and
we give him what questionable credit is due. However, a man who
takes the side of a corporation against the cause of working men, is
a character who must have some point in his life that would not
bear the spotlight of critical examination.

Pacific War Is Part
OF Freedom Fight,
Says DR.. Hu Shih
Chinese Ambassador
Contrasts Objeetives
Of China and Jopon

The war In the Pacific Is an
integral part of the world struggle
to preserve freedom, DR.. HUI Shih,
Chinese Ambassador. told a large
audience at D. A. r. Memorial Con-
tinental Hall last night. Like the
United States. China is fighting to
preserve its democratic way Of life,
end the issue at stake In the Far
East Is the same as in the West,
despotism against democracy, he
said.
The Ambassador was presented in
a benefit lecture sponsored by the

chairman and introduced DR.. HUI.
Proceeds from the lecture will be
used for the clubs regional scholar
ship fund, which provides for an
annual scholarship for a Washing
ton girl at Radcliffe College.
Cites Historic Signposts.
Three historical facts emphasize
the contrast between China and
Japan. and show that the conflict
between the two countries Is essen
tally one between democracy and e
totalitarian political philosophy, the
Chinese Ambassador declared
First, China emerged from feudal-
Ism more than 1000 years ago,
whereas Japan did not throw off
the feudal system until the 10Th
century, about the time Of the visit
OF Commodore Perry.
Second, while China has developed
an almost classics society, Japan,
down to the present day, has con-
tinued to be ruled by a militaristic
class.
Third, though China. even in the
days Of its ancient empire, never
encouraged the art of war, Japan,
Tor hundreds of years, has cherished
the dream of an imperialistic ex-
pansion on the Asiatic Continent.
Wealth Equalized.
Three features Of China's political
evolution are mainly responsible for
the characterization of its social
structure, DR.. Hu continued. These

primogeniture, which resulted in an
equalization Of wealth; second, the
practice of laissez-faire in govern
ment, exemplified by the policy of
not disturbing the life and peace
Of the people; third, the early de-
velopment Of a competitive civil
service system.
The civil service system, DR.. HUI
declared. was the greatest unity
ing and stabilizing force in the en-
pire," and notably contributed to
the development of a classics and
democratic society.
These three features of the po-
litical development of the country
are part and parcel of present-day
China" he explained. Accompany
ing these, he added, was a Con-

NEW YORK. Aug. 2l.-Retail
buying during the last week coasted
along at levels s to 10 per cent be-
low the dollar volume of a year
ago, Dun e. Bradstreet reported to-
day.
The mercantile agency noted
however, that in several areas there
were gains, although they were too
small to turn the trend upward.
Retailers reports stressed evidence
of an increase in cash buying and
OF a trend from lower to medium
priced goods.
"A particularly strong uptrend de-
veloped in a number Of smaller cities
where war plants are located" the
agencys review of retail trade said,
adding that few stores found the
stricter credit terms major factor
in the recent lull.
The general downtrend from 194i
figures was largest in the Middle
West, where sales volume was to
Is per cent below year ago. Other
percentage declines by regions were
New England to 9, East 6 to 13
South to 7, Southwest S to 10
Northwest to 7, and Pacific Coast
4 to 9.
Wholesale business continued on
a conservative basis. One feature
of the weeks trade was a report
that many retailers were seeking
new lines of goods to offset short
ages in products now unobtainable
