same things that the public
wants. Ross offers the following
threespoint program for public

Books for Labor Day
BY Olive Chace,
Readers Adviser in Economics, Public Library.

Labor Day is usually associated,
in the minds of the American peo-
pie, with picnics, parades, speeches
and outings. Originally proposed by
organized labor as a day of cele-
bration which would be 'representa-
tive of the industrial spirit, the great
vital force of the Nation" it has
become, to most people, merely the
last week end of the summer vaca-
ton season. But holidays are now
a thing of the past for almost every
one, and certainly for industrial
workers. 1t, therefore, seems par
ticularly appropriate that, as our
labor force continues uninterrupted
war production on day peculiarly
its own, we recreate the original
spirit of that day by turning our
attention to books which will in
crease public understanding of labor
and the trade union movement in
the United States.
do You Know Labor? Facts
About the Labor Movement" by
James Myers, makes an excellent
starting point. Short, popular in
style, and rejecting the authors
broad acquaintance with labor, it
presents answers to most of the
questions the average individual will
want to ask.
Among the classics. of labor litera-
ture is Trade Unionism in the
United States" by Robert F. Hoxie.
Looking at organized labor as an
open-minded investigator, he de-
scribes the psychology of wage

| logical and poetic documents" and
tried to do more than make
records"
Some of these prints recall the
photographs of Paris side streets
and slums, made early in this CEN
tury by Eugene Atget. That is, one
feels that Mr.. Laughlin's intense
love for New Orleans was akin to
the Frenchman's passion for his
city and that the authentic flavor
they captured of the two cities
humble sections was the result of
the artists emotional approach.
Among the arresting prints in this
third group are THE Hyper-real
Shadows" thrown upon the walls
of an old house in the Vieux Care
by its ironwork balconies, which
seem less substantial than the shad-
ows in the evening light; and "The
Magic Door," which opens not into
room but into different kind of
space dor the sky seen through the
door has not the same tone as the
surrounding sky).
In 1941 Mr.. Laughlin collaborated
with David L. Cohn in the creation
of a beautiful volume of photo
graphs and text entitled New Or
leans and Its Living Past" A few
| OF the prints here were reproduced
in that book. Mr.. Laughlin has
made more than 1000 cut film neg
atives of most of the outstanding
ironwork designs, statues and old
buildings of New Orleans.
Visual POEMS" the fourth group,
combines New Orleans backgrounds
with models posed to carry out some
poetical conception of the photog-
rapher (phantom spirits in old
buildings, French girls whose faces
against ruined building detail con-
Jure up visions of the city in its
youth, etc..
Mr.. Laughlin's explanations make
these and also the prints in the fifth
group, Poems of Desolation," per-
fectly clear to the beholder in most
instances. But without the labels it
is doubtful that the average person
would draw from many of these
pictures any meaning save confu-
sion and tricks. One doesn't doubt
the artists sincerity, but these
prints are more literary than visual
ir their appeal.
In some of them, such as "The
Bat" his imagination outstripped
his observation. Accompanying this
print is sinister and complicated
Interpretation. But nearly every
woman who studies it will be most
impressed with (and probably cov-
etous of the exquisite Spanish lace
shawl on the posed model, whose
outstretched arms display it to great
advantage.
One should not miss another
Poem group-the Uncle Sam
Plantation" series, which Mr.,
Laughlin took while working as un-
derphotographer with the United
states engineers in New Orleans,
Ihe Uncle Sam" was one of the
nnest and most complete plantation
groups left in the entire South in
1910, when it hac to be demolished
because the Mississippi River was
undermining one side of the huge
bend on which 1t was located.
Subsequently Mr.. Laughlin did
Photographic work for the National
Archives here in Washington. He
is now in. the Army, and one hopes
he will bring back some pictorial
documents of his military expert

The End of the Beginning
By Winston Churchill. (Litti


BroaDnJ
Here is the latest volume of
Mr.. Churchills addresses. 1t covers
the year 1912. Familiar though you
are with his oratorical technique,
you will certainly not fail to be
moved again to admiration as you
read him. 1t may be that, in this
collection, there are fewer flights of
rhetoric, fewer quotable phrases,
more repetition. But the persona
fication of an England fighting
dauntlessly against the powers of
darkness that personification
which Mr.. Churchill has taken on
himself since the first days of his
Prime Mlnistership-is vivid on all
the pages, and in the greater
speeches attains a vigor which it
has never surpassed.
To be sure, the finest hour, as
MIR. Churchill says himself, is past;
that was in 1910. No longer does
Britain face her foes alone. The
tide has turned, and with the turn
ing the need for superlative oratory
has somewhat fallen off. Mr..
Churchill, who literally talked his
people through the crisis, can now
make his necessary speeches with
out feeling that the nations fate
hangs on his phrases. In his routine
occasions, therefore, he allows him
self to relax to some degree; he
repeats his messages more than
has been his habit in the past.
But facing his critics in Parlia-
ment, either to answer their charges
or triumphantly to show them mis-
taken, he rises to his old heights.
And, in rising, he evokes, for all
the world to see, those various
legends which British Imagination
has built up about the British
people-the bulldog breed, the fair
playing opponent, the winner-of-
the battle -which-is-las the great
in-disaster and all the rest of it.
Actually, he is, in himself, much
more than any of those folk figures.
He is genius. But since it is
also a folk legend in Britain to
distrust geniuses, he has known
how to shroud his personal bril-
lance in the national mantle. Well,
he is superb, and that is all there
is to it.
The speeches which are most
impressive in this volume are five
made to the House of Commons,
one on January 27 and another on
January %, which resulted in the
great vote of confidence; one on
