Tuck Up Hair.
Women War
Workers Advised

Wear safety caps when the job
requires it, the United States Wom-
ems Bureau advises women war
workers. Hair should be fully
tucked under the cap, and so avoid
scalping and other injuries as well
as pain, costly medical care, per-
manent Disagreement.
This advice to women in war
plants is given by Mary Anderson,
Director of The Women's Bureau,
United States Department of La
Dor, in recent bulletin, the ninth
in a series of pamphlets on stan
dards for employment of women in
war industries. 1t offers the follow
ing suggestion:
The feminine hairdo and ma
chinery are bad combination, if
stray curls or wisps of hair are
caught in moving parts. For ma
chine operators the uncovered head
should be taboo, also the popular
bandana and turban as their loose
ends may catch in the machine.

CANTOR HELPS KAISER


HOLLYWOOD = Eddie Cantor
made a little speech on one of
Henry J. Kaiser's radio appeals
for welder students, and Kaiser
reports five times as many ship
yard recruits signed up next day
as had the Saturday previous.
Cantor also appeared in person
at the Richmond shipyards with
good effect, judging from con-
gratulatory letter to the comedian
from Kaiser.
"Our men and women enjoyed
your entertainment and appreciated
the sincerity of your message,
Kaiser wrote. And added, some
what curiously: "We haven't heard
any adverse repercussions to your
plea to the workers for greater
faithfulness to their jobs"
Incidentally, Kaiser's quick as
sembly system will figure in a
movie Republic Pictures is script
ing. 1t will be called Victory
Fleet" probably. One of the Kaiser
yards will be used for location, and
Kaiser himself will be the central
character. Kaiser's press agent,
Bob Pierson, has been active IN the
arrangements.
LIGHT-HEADED HOLLYWOOD
Some feature writers covering
Hollywood have been instructed by
New York syndicate offices to lay
off of war pictures, according to
one of the trade columnists. Rea-
son given is that the public is fed
up with war stuff and wants
lighter entertainment.
1t is your reporters impression
that the public has been getting
lighter entertainment almost ex-
clusively, judging from the 10 the
aters in the two miles between his
bed and his desk. Even allowing
for holdovers and move-overs, that
number of theaters could show
double Hollywood's output. They
don't show one-t third of it.
1t seems as though exhibitors
will bring back picture five years
old rather than play film relating
to the world struggle. Maybe it's
what the public wants. Yet the
trade reports that the public these
days will axe anything.
Out of curiosity have put down
the titles of the last II features
I've caught in Hollywood theaters
(not first-run). The only one that
could be called a war picture was a
farce titled "Once Upon a Honey
moon"

Child Labor Exploitation
Growing Fast in u. S.

school sleeps three hours after
school, goes on a night shift, and
sleeps a short time before going
to school"
In another report, Cotton or
School" the committee warns: "Ig-
norance and illiteracy, if not
checked in any group of our Amer
ican children, may become one of
our greatest liabilities for the post
war world"
Basis for this statement is the
high percentage of children absent
from school in sharecroppers' and
laborers' families during harvest
seasons. "At least two-fifths of
these young people engaged regu-
larly in agricultural employment
outside of their home and approx
mately another 30@O engaged in it
for at least part of the time,
the report says.
Breakdown Of Laws
A new threat is presented by a
spreading tendency to break down
existing state laws, feeble as they
are. Only 13 states have laws for
bidding children under 16 to leave
school for work and health safety
measures remain unenforced.
In six states bills suspending or
modifying child labor or school at
tendance provisions have been in
troduced.

McNuff Sets Up Bureau
To End Monpower Was+e
By Federated Press

CHICAG0-Formation of a new
VINO division designed to end
waste in the utilization of the la
Dor supply was announced by
Manpower Commissioner Paul V.
McNutt at a conference sponsored
by the American Management
Assn.
Main object of the new bureau
will be "to help management and
labor find out in the individual
plant and production unit how eff
fectively the people on the job are
performing and to suggest means
of increasing their effectiveness" I"
McNutt said.
The bureau will be divided into
three sections dealing with labor
wastage in industry, agriculture
and government. It's first job will
be to tackle such phases of the
manpower problem as abnormal
labor turnover, absenteeism, pro-
duction restrictions, low morale
and discrimination against women
and physically handicapped work
ers.
"The work of the bureau of
manpower utilization will be pri-
marily in the field" McNutt said.
There will be minimum of en-
cumbering administrative detail
and a maximum of active field con-
sulting work"
McNutt said that the new bureau
was set up on the recommendation
of a committee representing both
labor and management.

cIO Benefits
From War
Chest
Many Helped By
Community Institution

Many members of the CIO have
been aided the arrangements which
have been made between the organ
ization and the Greater Toledo
War Chest.
One of the cases given aid by
the Chest was brought to the at
tention of Regional Director Rich
ard Gosser in letter from Rich
ard L. Lazette, Director of the ClO
War Chest. Following is the letter:
Lazette's Letter
Dear Brother Gosser: am here
with submitting a list of CIO
members from various Units with
in the Toledo area whose hospital
bills have been paid by the War
Chest.
The persons whose names ap-
pear on the attached list have been
released from the hospitals, how
ever, we still have a number of
our people who will be confined in
the hospitals for some time.
You will notice on the list the
name of JOHN DOE who died
in Mercy hospital few days ago.
This man had a stroke. We got an
ambulance and rushed him to Mer-
cy hospital where his wife wanted
him taken. The family was in dire
need, so I had fuel and groceries
sent out to the home.
After the man died, / discover
ed that his wife and six children
did not have any decent clothes to
attend his funeral. After taking
the matter up with the War Chest,
| was authorized to purchase
clothing for the entire family.
/ would like to say that the War
Chest has gone along with me 100
per cent no matter what the ma
ture of the cases have been. That
is something we could not say be-
fore the CIO took and active part
in the functions of the Chest in
the past. am
Fraternally yours,
Richard L. Ldzette,
Director CIO War Chest.

Shocking Increase
In Last Year

NEW YORK-Al Although
Manpower Commissioner Paul
V. McNutt has asserted that
the war effort does not re-
quire employment of children
under Is years, there has been a
shocking increase in the number
of working children between Is
and II in the last year.
The Natl. Child Labor Commit
tee and the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ have published
researches which make clear that
the health, morals and education
of U. S. children are being sacri-
feed to the demands of dislo-
Gated war machine, left unguard-
ed by firm federal and state laws.
81 believe" McNutt said recent
ly, that the most efficient use of
the services of young people re-
quires that existing school attend
ance laws and child labor stand
ards as embodied in state and
federal laws be preserved and en-
forced. Relaxation of these laws
at this time is not necessary to
meet manpower need and would
have a serious and harmful effect
on our youth and on the contribu-
ton they will make to the man
power needs of the nation.
Employment OF Youth Increases
Overshadowing this skeleton pol
icy is the grim reality. Full or
part-time employment of boys and
girls of ID and Is years rose
from 213,104 in 1910 to more than
100000 in 1912.
The number of employed 16- and
17-year-old boys and girls is in
creasing at an even greater rate.
On the basis of census figures and
increase in work permits, probably
nearly 100000 are now employ
ed, full or part time, and their
number is expected to multiply.
A survey by the Child Labor
Committee of juvenile delinquency
in Hartford, Conn, typical war
production area, singles out the
rapid increase in child employment
as the second most important fac
tor in rising delinquency.
Delinquency On Increase
"Roys and girls are leaving
school at 16 for full time work, "
the committee says. "Many, some
below the legal age, are working
after school hours, often in unde-
sirable jobs and at night. A num-
Der of boys are known to be work
ing under bad condition in pool
rooms, bowling alleys, gas stations
and other places where they meet
a rough class of men. Hours are
frequently difficult nd work k
heavy. One boy in senior high

THE LIGHT or DESTINY

How will the words be fashioned when
Peace regns upon the earth again?
How shall the future then record
The infames of heather hordes?
No fluent phrase shall full proclaim
The depth Of hate, the ruthless shame.
No bugle sound music swell
For those barbarian hounds of hell
No poet ever dared to dream
Of potent words to match the
Of anguished souls where terror looms
Among the barren, bloody tombs;
Where famine mocks the infant cry
And mercy comes to those who die,
And those who had the faith to keep
Have nothing more but tears to weep.
How changed the picture greed has framed
For all the centuries it has shamed?
How meet the challenge in that hour
When freedoms light shall to power?
How view the wasted barren lands,
Rebuild the cities the sands?
How greet the mute who stare in vain
At bleeding feet freed from the chain?
Our honor holds sacred trust
That love shall smother out the lust,
Yet ere the of love shall bloom
The weed of hate must find its DOOM
know not what great answers lie
With those who wiser are than l -.
Unlearned and humble, yet l say
The ages count today.
The words we fashion must be filled
With more than hopes which to build.
Bowed heads must lift with light to see
future bright with destiny,
Strong heart and hand must hold the pen
To purge the earth of wars dark SIM
To lay the tyrants arsenal down,
Stone by stone upon the ground.
No whrlwind of darkened hour
Shall sweep again from mountain tower,
No race tongue shall dream
That they alone supreme,
No gulf of hate shall fill the void
If we have learned and full destroyed,
And ever shall earth's fair morn
Rejoice to know lifes matterhorn

An ExpIono+ion
BY WALTER TRzAsKLsKl
Chairman, Acklin Unit


This letter is to explain the $500
deduction which was made from
everyone's pay check for union
dues last week.
A new system was devised by
Thomas Burke, financial secretary,
of Local IL to replace the unsatls-
factory system which was used
previous to this deduction, IN CO.
operation with the company man
agement.
Prior to the new streamlined
system, the checkoff proved un-
satisfactory because the amount
deducted from Unit members
checks was not correct and led to
considerable confusion for the Lo-
cal, the company and Unit and
members.
The three dollar deduction made
from your checks brings every
body's dues to date, many of whom
were in areas through no fault
of their own.
Some of the new people who
have not worked 80 days who had
the $500 deduction will have their
money returned. Or, if they are
now eligible for union membership
will have the balance collected by
the committee to bring them into
the union. Those other employees al
ready in the union who were over
charged, and there are but a few
of these, will also get refund.
We have used the check-off sys-
tenn at Acklin because we believed
it to be the best and most demo-
cratic way of handling the mem
bership dues. However, whatever
action the membership wants to
take with respect to the dues is
entirely up to them since we are
democratic and the system must
meet the approval of majority of
the members.
Your receipt that the money was
paid the Local is the white sheet
attached to your check. Every
member should take the time to
bring his slip and card to the Lo-
cal and have it punched for the
months paid. All other shop mem
bers do and we too must follow the
procedure adopted by the Local
and it's Unit affiliates.
| am sorry that the deduction
was not understood and that some
of our people took exception to
their Local and Unit officers. We
are trying to handle things for
the mutual convenience of all con-
cerned and hope this letter ex-
plains why and how the matter
came about. There will be no more
deductions like this one which was
made only for the purpose of
bringing the Unit up to date in
their dues. If there are any ques-
tions or you still have doubts, |
will be glad to discuss the matter
Individually with you.
Fraternally yours,
Walter Trzasklski,
Chairman, Acklin Unit.

Webber Pleads Guilty
To Two Indictments
In Mariijjuana Case
Defendant Described
As Ex-PoIicemun and
Orchestra Player
A. P. Photos.

Rollin Webber, %. of the 1900 block
of Girard street NV, said to be q
former Washington policeman and
well-knoWn orchestra player. pleaded
guilty in District Court today to two
indictments charging violations OF
the marijuana tax act
The pleas were made before JUS
tice F. Dickinson Let's. The two
indictments carried a total of seven
counts. Assistant United States At
torney BerAard Margolius said the
possible maximum penalty on each
count is five years and $4,000
fine.
Mr.. Margolius said a large mari
juana ring had been broken up as
result of Investigations and Web
ber's apprehension. He asserted
that when Bureau of Narcotics
agents searched the premises from
which Webber operated they found
between 2l2 to 3 pounds of mari
juana, sufficient amount to make
approximately $500 marijuana Gig
arettes, or about 81 900 worth.
While dealing in marijuana, Mr..
Margolius said that Webber on one
occasion had given lO2 grains of the
weed to Bureau of Narcotics agent.
1t also is claimed that he had given
some to University of Maryland
student and sold some to a member
Of the United States Marine Band.
Most of the marijuana. Mr.. Mar
golius said investigation had showed,
came from Mexico by air express.
