to the site of defense projects where
their services were urgently needed.
Green punctured the accusations
made in the committee report by citing
the following facts which he said were
available to the committee but delib-
erately ignored by it:
That the $10,679,OOO increase in
the assets of 1T unions with mem
bership of 6,085 900 workers over the
18-month period from October 1, 1889,
to March 81, 1941, as reported by the
Vinson Committee, represents only 9.7
per member per month. (The figure
is 1876 cents per member per month
for the A. F. of L. unions covered)
Funds Largely for Benefits
2-That the great bulk of union as
sets are funds held in reserve for union
members and paid out to them from
time to time under various benefit
systems, including unemployment in
surance, death, disability, health, re-
tirement and other benefits.
3-That in the 14-year period from
1927 to 1910 inclusive, extending over
the years of depression and recovery,
A. F. of l.. unions paid to their mem
bers total of $450,OOO,00O in unem-
ployment, sickness, disability, old age
and death benefits, thus relieving the
nation and its communities of heavy
relief burden.
4-That union funds are not used
for profit-making or to engage in any
business enterprise but belong to the
union members and are collected and
expended at their direction and in their
behalf
5-That recent increases in union
assets can be accounted for as follows:
(a) Increases in union membership
(the A F. of L. gained 100000 mem
bers during the period covered by the
Vinson Committee).
(b) Because Of widespread re-em-
ployment, union members previously
jobless were able to renew dues pay
ments and many of them paid up ar
rears in order to re-establish eligibility
for benefits.
(c) Because of the no-strike policy
Of the American Federation of Labor
and its affiliated unions there was a
sharp decrease in the number of strikes
and in the length of their duration,
thus considerably cutting down dis
bursements for strike benefits.
Ending his statement, Green de-
clared:
"The committees conclusion that the
American trade unions have sought to
benefit from the defense program to
the detriment of the public interest is
utterly without foundation or substan-
tiation. 1t constitutes a slur on the
record of the American trade union
movement.
''The committees failure to examine
and report on organized labor's con-
tribution to defense and the cost of
such contribution sustained by trade
unions is conclusive proof of the COM
mittee's anti-labor bias"

For Better HOmemaking

Textile experts say there's nothing
to the old custom of soaking materials
in solution of salt and water to set
the color. 1t doesn't work; it is a
waste Of salt and is likely to soak out
some of the color.
When washing wool, special care
must be taken to use soft warm water
and mild soap. Squeeze suds through
don't rub. Stretch knitted garments
into shape while damp and lay out in
warm place. Other wool garments
should be pressed while damp with a
medium hot iron and pressing cloth.

Glanor

The Duchess of Windsor heads the
list of the worlds ten best-dressed
woman, replacing Mrs. Harrison Will
liams who held the place for five years.
The Duchess was accorded the place
by large majority in the official an
nual poll by American stylists and
fashion editors who select the list.
A few weeks ago we reported that
it looked like things were going to be
in bad shape because there would be
no rubber or steel for girdles, but the
War Production Board announced this
week a release of ''limited amount"
of crude rubber for the production of
foundation garments. Nice, but better
not be too optimistic-it may not last.
1t is simpler to correct figure faults
and reduce your figure to graceful
feminine proportions through diet and
exercise than to depend on priorities
of girdle materials.
Many Hollywood actresses keep
their svelte figures by going on fruit
juice diets three days out of each
month, while others diet on fruit juice
regularly one day each week. It's not
difficult once you establish the habit!
But if you'd streamline your figure
by exercise you must take those exer-
cises slowly and with precision to get
results You won't benefit the slight
est by going through them lickety-
split, just to get it over with. Go slow
and make every movement really
count.

IShauGhnesSy was being considered
