hEkk AXE A FEW SUGGESTIONS
to help you cooperate in this nutiOn-
wide voluntary conservation program
For Homes Everywhere
Try to eliminate waste of electricity in the use of
your home appliances. Here are few suggestions:
ELECTRIC REERIoERAToR-Defrost regularly.
Thick ice on the coils makes the motor work long
CT, more often and gives you less refrigeration for
your money. Do not put hot foods in the rehiger-
ator. Let foods cool before storing them. Plan
ahead so as not to open the refrigerator door I'M
necessarily.
ToASTER Don't toast one slice at time when
you re going to want more. AZ slice toaster works
just as hard-uses just as much electricity toasting
one slice as it does toasting two.
arc called away for few moments. Seconds have
way ofmounting to minutes. Care in disconnecting
not only saves electricity but may also prevent
scorching. Plugging in the iron before you are
ready is wastefu too. Most irons will heat to the
required temperature in less than two minutes.
VACUUM cLEANER-Empyt the bag each week.
Dirt in the bag cuts down the suction. You waste
electricity (and your time) by running the cleaner
longer than necessary.
THROUGHOUT TIVE HoME-Try to REMEMBER
that though electricity is cheap, it is unpariotic
TO use it carelessly. Turn off lights and appliances
when not actually needed.
For Industries
Our power sales engineers were engineers before
they were ever statesmen. There are some wastes of
power in nearly all industrial operations. If we can
help you eliminate those wastes, we will do it. IF
you are being called upon for increased war pro-
ducton, our experience is at your service in finding
how the bigger job can be done with the most
economical use of machinery and power.

Harlan Webb, executive secre-

Local 755 is to be congratulated

Refuses TO


The toolmakers and the engi-
~neering model shop employees at
Aeroproducts have been handi-
capped in their efforts for more
production by the disinterest of
the company in securing certain
necessary tools and equipment.
The workers are slowed down, be-
cause they are unable to buy hand
precision tools. These tools are
usually privately owned, and are
kept in the workers own toolbox.
The tools needed facilitate the
production of tools, dies, and
models in very technical and
skilled crafts. The tools needed
now require a priority for their
purchase, in order that the work.
ers in war industries may be able
to buy them, since precision tools
are scarce.
The employees of A]eroproducts
have been unable to secure the
necessary priorities from the COM
pany, so the local union, UAW
Local 947 had drafted and pre-
scented to the company with a
complete list of the necessary
tools and the names of the en-
ployees desiring them. The union
has asked the company to s this
list. To date the company has
ignored this request.
We know that the company
could have, with a little effort,
bought the tools, and sold them
to the employees. Other compa-
MES have been doing this for the
past six months. The practice is
technically illegal, but the WPB
has been looking the other way,
when companies order tools for
their employees.
Over two months ago, the COM
pany was informed of the new
government order on how to make
simple purchases of tools for their
employees, but evidently the COM
pany didn't care to be bothered,
with the result today that the
employees are still anxiously
awaiting the chance to buy the
much needed tools, which will per-
init them to work more quickly
and efficiently.

late President Theodore Roose-
welt tried it with the Bull Moose
party in 1912, and in 1924 the late
Senator Robert M. La Toilette of
Wisconsin strove to organize a
Progressive party, with himself
as presidential candidate and
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Montana, his running mate. 1t
has never quite worked out. The
most recent effort was that of the
Wisconsin Progressives under the
leadership of former Gov. Philip
La Toilette.
Now the effort is under way
again. This time it starts as a
State -by-State movement. Its
leading exponent is Dean Al
fange, New York lawyer and the
American Labor party's candi-
date for Governor of the Empire
State last year Mr.. Alfange has
been stirring about for several
months. He has sought particu-
larly to interest labor leaders and
labor organizat tions in the move
ment. He has not confined his
efforts solely. however. to union
labor. His idea is that all lib
erals, whether they be members
OF unions or not, should be in
cluded in the proposed new party.
Formed to Aid Roosevelt.
The American Labor party in
New York has been a going con-
Germ ever since 1886, when it was
organized to aid. particularly. the
reelection of President Roose-
welt. 1t has demonstrated. at
least, that it can hold a balance
OF power in the State. Mr. Al
fange is convinced that eventu-
ally 1t can do much more. His
plans go far beyond the New
York State line. He has been
active in New Jersey and Penn
SElvanla. and in both those
States has already met with some
success.
Recently in New Jersey, at the
seventh annual convention of the
American Labor League of that
State-a successor of Labor's
Non-Partisan League - held in
trenton, 1t was voted to Law the
groundwork for a political partv
along the lines of the American
Labor party of New York. A
drive is now under way to or
game such a party in the big
industrial counties, Essex, Union,
camden and Passaic. Mr.. Al
1ange admits that Hudson Coun-
ty, the bailiwick of Mayor Frank
Hague, is a tough nut to crack.
But he insists that eventually the
laborites will get around to it.

Already there is talk of the
proposed new party's launching a
candidate for Governor in New
Jersey. in the fall campaign. 1t
might be an opportune time. Not

the Democratic party is split
hopelessly in the State, a new
party might capitalize on the
situation.

the council must consider. Mr..
Hughes has remained in strict re-

are Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New

council is an isolationist set-up.

is an odds-on bet that it will try to
circumvent him by making its pledge
to a policy of international collab-
Grafton so strong as to remove this
from the field of intra party issues.
The real point is that Mr.. Willkie,
from the viewpoint of the Repub-
lican Wheelhorses. simply does not
belong to the lodge. They believe
he has set out either to rule the
Republican party or ruin it. If Mr..
Willkie ever gets to the White House
they know he will have none of

Hence. the party has shown its
determination that whatever emerg-

otherwise rebound to his ADVANTAGE
