NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-By the
most lop-sided margin in the eight

Count Fleet "the horse Of the year"
for 1943-and the Count did less
work for it than any OF the seven

On top of that, the rangy rocket

of one sided waltz of the 3-year- old

unionists of America must en-
gage In political activity to a
greater degree than ever before.
There is not a single trade
union in America that is not
affected by legislation or edicts
of government agencies in
Washington. Labor has won
many struggles on the picket
lines and in bloody battles with
employer groups. Yet we have
seen many of our hard-won
gains wiped out by anti-labor
legislation enacted by Congress
and the various states. The time
has come for labor to recognize
that today politics is our bread

the benefits that have been
promised.
In the first place, as in any
individual union negotiations.
World Labor must present a
unified front to back up its
just demands. We must not de-
Jude ourselves that our demands
will be won simply because they
are just. We know from bitter
experience how employers take
advantage of a split in labor's
ranks. I raise this point because
I firmly believe that Interna-
tional Trade Union Unity is the
key to labor's success in win
ming the best peace terms for
the workers of America and the
rest of the world.
The efforts of the CLIO to
bring together the trade union
representatives of all the United
Nations, including the great
Soviet trade unions, have finally
begun to bear fruit. The world
labor parley to be held in Lon
don next June at the call of the
British Trade Union Congress
will mark the beginning of a
new era of international labor
solidarity that can become the
most powerful bulwark in
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1943-12-06

Organized labor recognizes
that its achievements and sacri-
fees will have been in vain IL
we win the war and lose the
peace. The Atlantic Charter, the
Four Freedoms, and the Mos
cow Pact are excellent direction
pointers for the postwar world
of the Common Man. But Mr..
and Mrs. Worker can bet their
bottom dollar it won't be smooth
sailing when it comes to de
liver" these pledges to the ex-
plotted and oppressed millions
throughout the world.
Labor has a big stake in the
speedy winning of the war and
is more than carrying out its
heavy responsibilities. 1t has an
equally big stake in the post
war period. That goes not only
for the American trade union
movement, particularly the CLIO,
but for the labor organizations
of all the United Nations.
Let's look at labor's postwar
role as though labor were seek
ing to negotiate a universal
agreement to safeguard the
future peace and win for the
rank and file of the world all

Congress today is composed
of $50 business and profess
sional men. Only one member of
Congress is Labor's Congress-
man-Vito Marcantonio, who
has been reelected year after
year by labor's political action.
A Congress such as we have
now is certainly not going to
act in the interests of labor as
against the interests of en-
ployer groups. We have only to
look at the current record to
see the proof of that.
That's the score as I see It:
A powerful, united international
labor organization acting as a
watchdog on the world scene;
intensified political action by
labor on the American scene.

String beans will be more ten

Most amateur gardeners water
their gardens too often and not
deeply enough. A good soaking
when the ground has become prac-
tically dry is the rule for best
results.
A leaky water bucket can be
stopped-up by putting melted
paraffin inside.
Watering a garden in the eve
ming means less evaporation and
more moisture left in the ground.
Hooks, eyes, and snaps are most
satisfactory when sewed on with
the buttonhole stitch.
If you keep any poisOns in the
medicine cabinet, push two pins
crosswise through the cork. Even
in the dark they'll warn a person
to beware.
Place a ball of Irvine in Irvine
sack, cut small hole just above
the ball, thread the string through
the hole, then hang the sack on
the wall and the Irvine will be
handy when needed.
When buying housecoat, if you
choose a wrap-around model, be
sure it has a good lap, sitting or

Instead of spreading newspapers

said, "who is going to let you earn
your seventy cents today. Take off
your fatigue blouse, my man, and
prepare to sweat. Today we make
progress. We are going to unpack
rifles"
It seems to me that when the
manufacturer prepares to pack a
box of Army rifles, his cruel streak
comes out at its worst. From the
look of the rifles, he has his three
year-old daughter prepare a COM
pound of molasses, pitch, and used
motor oil-the gooier the better. He
sings each gun into the resulting
mess, sloshes it around for while,
and then lays it neatly into the box.
You use swab about the size OF
tablecloth to wipe the grease from
the rifle. When you're halfway
through the first rifle, you have to
use the gun to wipe the grease from
the cloth. When you have finished,
you need a large coal shovel to
wipe the grease off yourself.
There is nothing so conducive to
itching as the inability to scratch.
Just when the molasses-pitch-axle
grease mixture covers your hand to
the point where you can't see the
outlines of the fingers, that left nos
tril starts tingling. At first it itches
only little and you decide to suf-
fer it. So you don't wipe your hands
on the seat Of your trousers. In
stead you pick up another rifle and
your hand sinks to the elbow in
the goo which wraps it. This is the
stage where your nose gets peevish
and impatient and decides to itch in
earnest.
Finally, you decide to give in. You
wipe your hands-an operation which
takes a good three or four minutes
for satisfactory results. You lift
your hand to scratch your nose, only
to find that your nose isn't itching
any more.
