. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

graph onto their much-heralded
unity agreement of Dec. 2, guar
anteeing each side protection OF
its legal rights.
This nder-the-table agree
ment was interpreted by the c.
/. o. to be a guarantee of its
rights under the Wagner act to
continue membership organiza-
ton drives and to refuse A. F.
of l.. offers to negotiate a no
raiding agreement. Bringing out
into the open this secret deal of
the peacemakers is now believed
to have facilitated a solution of
not only the Kaiser jurisdic-
tional battle itself, but of all
similar disputes interfering with
the war production effort.
Kaiser sees today real OPP
portunity to adjust the labor sit
uation to the war effort. He has
assurances from c. l. 0. Presi-
dent Phil Murray, A. F. OF l..
Metal Trades Leader John p.
Frey and NLRB representatives
themselves that they all want to
improve the present bad situa-
tiCn.
Kaiser is approaching the
problem with his typical 1T can
be done" attitude. He says he
can report progress in these ne
gotiations, and he wouldn't be
making statements about it if he
did not see hope for settlement
within a few weeks.
FREEZE" OF
UNION MEMBERS
Kaiser's solution for the prob
lem of jurisdictional disputes is
to freeze" labor conditions as
they are at present. A step SINH
lar to this was taken at the be-
ginning of the last war, but the
Kaiser idea of today is to freeze
union membership as it now ex-
lists. Workmen in one union
would stay in that union for the
duration or as long as they kept
their present jobs, workers not
in any union would stay out,
new workers would have the
choice of joining whatever
union they liked, or none.
Such solution would undoubt-
eddy be considered by the unions
a proposal for an open shop, or
substitution of maintenance of
membership for the closed shop,
but Kaiser makes it clear that
this is not his problem, but the
province of the National War
Labor Board and the unions
themselves. All Kaiser is inter-
ested in is getting the disputants
together and negotiating.
Truman Committee hearings
of the next week or so should do
much to hasten settlement.
Four union leaders who will be
called to testify are c. I. O. Pres
ident Phil Murray, A. F. Of L.
President Bill Green, A. F. of L.
Metal Trades Council President
John Frey and c. l. O. Marine
and Shipbuilders' Union Presi-
dent Johnny Green.
The committee primarily in
terested in getting the greatest
possible production out of the
existing labor force, but will
tackle the jurisdictional muddle
as one of the principal causes of
interference with war produc.
ton.
AS pointed out by Truman
Counsel Hugh Fulton in recent
examination of Mr.. Kaiser, what
union jurisdictional fight
amounts to in final analysis is
determination of which union a
workman must pay his dues to.
AS far as winning the war is
concerned, that wouldn't seem
to make much difference.

is rennet?

Q-What is rennet?
"A preparation made from
the membrane of the stomach of
young calf, pig or goat,
especially the fourth stomach of
the calf, which yields soluble
ferment, capable of causing the
coagulation of casein. Rennet

cheese making to produce the
curd, which is subsequently
separated from the whey, or
watery portion.

ficers in the Army eligible for
rental allowances?
A-Enlisted noncommissioncd
officers in the first three grades
master, technical and staff
sergeants-are eligible for rem
tai allowances providing they
have families not living in gov
eminent quarters. Other enlist

THEY NEED A LAW

1t now appears that the British need law for
bidding the Speaker of Commons to die in office.
Otherwise, they will have to make provision for extro-
ordinary care Of their speakers, to avoid repetition
of the quondoy in which they now find themselves.
They can't meet without speaker, and they cont
choose speaker without meeting. They can't even
poss low providing for the succession until they
meet. or meet until they have such law
Perhaps in the end they will just meet and elect
speaker ond then, being legally in session, validate
whot was done illegally.

This is the seventh Of . ser
les of IL articles on the new
laws of contract bridge, which
will become effective through
out the country on April i.
Many strange things can hap
pen at the bridge table, and it
is up to the lawmakers OF the
game to formulate rules to cover
as many general situations as
possible. 1t would not be pos
sible to cover every specific sit
uation that might arise. II this
tremendous task were to be at
tempted, the committee would
need about five years to pre-
pare the laws and the written
laws would comfortably fill a
half-dozen volumes.

TOPEKA, Kas. - Officially,
Col. J. w. F. Hughes of Topeka
can't get the $500 he sought from
the legislature as salary due him

Unofficially, the moneys roll

Representatives agree it
would set bad precedent to

never asked for payment of the
53-year-old debt before because
he never needed it before.

Three new developments in
Washington give hope that the
curse of jurisdictional labor dis
putes can be ended for the dura-
ton of the war:
/. The Senate's Truman Com
mittee investigating the war eff
fort will have before it four top
labor leaders TO testify on this
problem of inter-union warfare,
particularly as it relates to in
efficient use of manpower in
war production.
2. Henry j. Kaiser, in Wash
ington to find some means to
bring an end to the c. |. o. VS..
A. F. of l.. jurisdictional row
which threatens production at
his three Oregon shipyards, an
nounced that he has been hold
ing conferences with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
and union leaders and could re-
port progress in his effort to
have "a negotiated adjustment
instead of forced adjustment"
indicating that the case might be
settled outside the NLRB COM
plant hearings, now recessed to
March 30.
3. While NLRB off C a S
themselves are coy on discuss
ing any, undecided case still be-
fore the board, it can be stated
authoritatively that Robert B.
Watts, NLRB general counsel,
has been meeting with union
labor leaders in exploratory
conversations" on the Kaiser
case. This is taken to mean that
NLRB now realizes it has got
hold of a hot spud and would
like to let go if it could find
some neat way.

WARS DISCORDANT NOTE

ST. LOUIS - It's come to the
point where wartime difficult
ties can even change a pianist's
selection. When Arthur Rub
enstein, the pianist, appeared
here with the symphony orches-
ira, he was all set t. play the
Brahms Concerto. Instead, he
played a Beethoven number.
The change was made nee
essary because the Brahms con-
certo required three French
horns and the Be cthoven num-
Der tWo-and the third horn
player was called for induction.
Oh yes, for the finale, the
third horn player was rejected
by the examining b ard and he
appeared in time to pl"v. Rub
enstein was taking no more
chances-he stuck to Beethoven.

in several pastel shades to match
the costume the ladies plan to
wear for the day.
While caps and calots, a bow or
two, or a posy form the head
gear of most Washington won en-
in these hot days, some of the
smartest cling to the perennially
becoming large brimmed hat.
Mrs. William Doeller wears one

forth on her Job for the Sage

the picture hat, and wears q

trimmed with a simple white

AS the season of midsummer Is
in full swing many Washington
women who left earlier for their
summer homes are returning to
spend week or so with their
not so-fortunate friends or rel
atives tied to desk or other war
jobs in the Capital. Their
bronzed skins, bright eyes and
radiant look of health set off
their cleverly chosen hot-weather
costumes to perfection.
Mrs. Jasper Du Bose, for in
stance, possesses one of the
handsomest suntans seen in
many day, that looks especially
we'll with her smart two-piece suit
of brown linen. Another costume
that has earned Mary many an
admiring comment is red frock,
printed in navy blue, with which
she wears navy accessories.
Mrs. Eugene Carusi, lovelier than
ever with her sun-warmed COM
plexion, has set a new style-she
bTaidS ribbons to match her
frocks into the smooth plaits of
her Madonna" hair-do.
Mrs. Edward Johnston keeps cool
and soignee in black dress
printed with emerald green
leaves.
Mrs. w. A. Heard is one of the
clever hostesses who believes in
dressing to match her lovely
drawing rooms. The other after
noon when ore or two friends
dropped in for tea they found her
against background of powder
blue and white walls, wearing a
print frock in the same combi-
nation. Her pretty, brunei
daughter Anne looked lovely in
a golden yellow shantung dress,
most effective with her long
black hair. Eleanor Martin,
the noted artist, was glimpsed

Talking of short dinner dresses,
there's certainly news in this war
time fashion. Smooth, shining
satin often makes these gowns
that are short on length but long
on glamour. One in navy blue
with a shower of glitter beads
from neck to hem Is one of the
slimmest, slinkiest dresses you
could wish for-deflnitely some
thing for the boys" The shirt
and skirt combination also goes

frosted with beads and a black
velvet short skirt. In bright
colors, these low-necked short
dinner dresses nave long match
ing gloves and are topped with
matching feather hair-dos to
give a very quaint turn OF the
century" look.
Beads, beads and more beads
they are the sparkle of fashion
this year rather than sequins
(although you'll still see plenty
of the latter blazing away. Used
in tiny cut bead embroideries, in
medallions, buttons and worked
in designs like oriental jewelry,
these glittering accents add a
sparkle and elegance to many of
the new fashions.
Sparkling, too, are the wonder
full new colors presented to
brighten your wardrobe and your

fuchsia, American beauty and the

Chinese reds and green's, shown

Black, that hardy perennial,
blooms again and again in an
endless parade of soft little
dresses and suits that will prob
ably once more be the backbone
OF your wardrobe.
AS a matter of fact, it's q funny
thing about this perennial love
OF black shown by American
women. Although most men pro-
fess not to like the somber cos
tunes, women 60 merrily along
depending upon their black frock
or black suit for their most chic
appearances. This would GER
tainly seem to disprove that Oft
questioned theory that women

Reviewing the Fall Fashions

NEW YORK-In the salons Of
New York's top dress designers,
the fashion press OF America saw
this week, through the courtesy
Of the New York Dress Institute,
q parade of fall fashions that
demonstrated how American de-
signers have met the challenging
restrictions of governmental reg
ulations.
In the school of these new
styles, it's the three S's-rather
than the usual three R's-you'd
better brush up on If you want to
pass the grade. For three big SIS
strike the keynote to fall fashions:
Slimness, Simplicity and Sparkle.
Skirts are pencil-slim with a
pleat here, slit there to give you
grace as you walk, and to take
them out of the hobble-style of
the 20's. One of the prettiest
skirts of an-from Anthony
Blotta's collection-is a new mod
el with stack" pleats, one atop
the other, which give slight full
ness at the front, while preserving
a slim line. Jackets are short and
sweet" with neat little collars,
small revers and tiny peplums all
adding up to the new slim look.
Some have a waistcoat front,
others borrow the further mascu-
line touch of satin dinner coat
revers" or a velvet Chesterfield
collar.
Probably the biggest IS" of all
in the fashion lexicon stands for
Suits" Suits still lead the
fashion parade and include your
beloved classic as well as the soft
little suit"-very new looking
with a boXy jacket or short cut
away. 10 Copeland, an American
designer famous for her little
SUITS" introduces an amusing
Mexican note in several dressed
up tweed costumes with beaded
motifs inspired by Mexican ma
tional emhlems
Simplicity is another keynote to
fall fashions (and a silent huzzah
from this cornerD. Dresses are
truly simple, often relying on
their cut and line alone for
beauty The sheath-like Chinese
gown a dd Chinese tunic are the
prototype Of many a new fall
dress with its simple wrapped
bodice, its tiny mandarin collar,
its lines unreieved except for a
bit of embroidery or beaded
medallion.
There are also lots of easy-to-
wear casual dresses that you'll
live in and love. These often

Emily Post Says

Dear Mrs Post What is an en-
listed man? I have been under
the impression that he was either
private or a commissioned
officer who had volunteered for
service. I am told that is wrong
and instead it applies to any
man in the armed forces who is
not commissioned officer. Will
you straighten us out?
Answer-An enlisted man is
usually one who has voluntarily
enlisted in one of the armed serv-
ices. But the term for the dura-
tom is also applied to a draftee
in other words, to any man in
any branch Of the Army or the
Navy who is not a commissioned
officer.

sleeves, frequently with soft fiat

colors are often combined to point
up the simplicity of new dress.

T. p. Borrowers
To Meet Saturday
Plans For The Coming Year
Will Be Outlined To
The Group

A meeting Of the Ashe County
Tenant Purchase Borrowers will
be held at the Community Build
ing on Friday, January %. Meet
ings of this nature are being held
with borrowers who have pur-
chased farms under the Bankhead
Jones Tenant Purchase Act all
over the United States.
The meeting held last year was
very successful and many of the
borrowers stated that it was very
beneficial to them.
At the meeting to be held Fri
day, progress for the past year
will be reviewed and plans dis
cussed for 1913 which will help
the Individual families to do a
better job of farming than they
did in 1912. Borrowers and their
wives are invited, because the
homemaker is just as important
in making a success of farming as
the farmer.
