TT MAY surprise many to learn that
/ in Hungary, one of the small ma
tions existing on sufferance of the
Axis, trade unions are still function
ing and not afraid to champion democ-
racy and talk of a better world that
must come after the war.
The Hungarian trade unions recent
ly observed 40 years of existence. Not
only labor papers but the press in
general published lengthy apprecia-
tions of their progress in organiza-
ton, social policy and the rights of
labor.
The unions played a predominant
part in all past social reforms and
improvements, laying down the basis
for sickness benefits, labor exchanges
and unemployment benefits long be-
fore legal recognition came. Family
allowances, restriction of overtime,
holidays with pay, ETC., had been Sc
cured by the miners, metal workers
and printers before they were gener-
ally introduced.
The unions weathered the first
World War and the subsequent in
ternal chaos successfully and it looks
as if they will assume leadership in
the present crisis, the International
Federation of Trade Unions COM
ments. At a demonstration celebrating
the unions 40 years, the president of
the Trade Union Federation declared
that the task of the labor movement
today is to rally all the democratic
forces of the country to united action.
Here is sample of what he said:
"A union of free men with leaders

danger line? When you cross that line
to the street you step into realm
where faster moving wheel traffic is
in control.
And did you ever ask yourself how
fast they are coming? Well, at &c
miles per hour they are approaching
at 80 feet per second.
But how does this compare with
your own speed as walker? A good
brisk walker who has some place to
go, may make four miles per hour or
six feet per second In other words,
about one-ffth as fast as a slowly
moving automobile at 20 miles per
hour.

Father and Son In Navy
Meet In North Africa

A year ago James D. White, of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a veteran of
World War |, reenlisted in the Navy.
His son, James w. White, II, enlisted
in the Navy shortly thereafter. Each
was sent to separate duty.
A few weeks ago, the father and
son, both engaged on separate ships in
getting supplies to our men, were re-
united temporarily during the height
of the attack on North Africa.
Prior to reentering the Navy, the
father was secretary of Cedar Rapids

tional Brotherhood of Teamsters

ers of America (AFL).

LABOR's ACTIVE HELP NEEDED

! have always believed that the war
effort in which the country is engaged
vitally needs organized labor's active
help and participation. l believe that
the effort would fail if we lacked that
help. | am not talking about labor's
mere support-that can be taken for
granted but about real, concrete
help.-Donald NJ. Nelson, chairman,
War Production Board.

WHAT NEXT?

Among the more than 200 peace
time Westinghouse lamps that have
been pressed into military service is
the bicycle tail-lamp, which is now
being used on parachutes. A lamp and
small dry cell fastened to each cargo
parachute make it easier for para
troops to find supplies dropped them
by night. The same lamp and battery
combination, fastened to a life pre-
server, aids swimmer to find it in
the dark.

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
} the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes fippantly, some
times recklessly.

The Miners want to come in; the
Machinists go out.
So goes life. Coming and going. En-
tering and departing.
Why get excited about coming or
going?
No special reason at all, except that
in some of the goings and comings
certain of the eternal verities get in
volved
They are what need worrying about.
So, at the moment the AFL really
has something to think about
1t is somewhat sad to see the Ma
chinists going away from the door.
The Machinists have had big part
in AFL history.
Pioneer Machinists did lot of the
heavy pick and shovel work of laying
out the foundations.
Some of the main timbers were. laid
by Machinists.
Newcomers frequently forget about
who it was that laid the foundations.
What they want to know is whether
the roof leaks today.
Or, they want to know what they
can get out of the family that lives
there.
But who laid the foundations and
what kind of struggles went on dur
ing the laying-well, they are seldom
able to get very excited about that.
Well, young fellows, the Machinists
did a lot toward making the house and
lot of credit is due to them.
The Machinists have had colorful
history.
They have been on the leftward
track much of the time. Leftward as
we used to know it; not as we know
the term today.
The Machinists have been liberal
and even radical and they have stood
for lot of finger pointing because
they insisted upon saying what they
thought about things.
They did lot of pioneer work be-
cause they weren't afraid to stand out
in front
There was Jim O'Connell. one of
the handful of veterans who stood
around Sam Gompers, along with men
like Jim Duncan and Bill Mahon.
Jim was called conservative and
yet he was the kind of conservative
that would have stood back to a stone
wall and let 'em plug away before he
would give up principle.
Jim was an executive council mem
Der for years, even after Bill John
ston tipped him out of the Machinists'
presidency in contest between con-
servatism and radicalism.
Bill Johnson was a socialist, or a
near-socialist, but he was trades
unionist first.
Sam Gompers once said, "give me
man who has been through the social
ist party and held onto his trade
unionism. He has something in him
that you don't get otherwise"
Bill had plenty. He branched the
Machinists into all sorts of things and
maybe it did them lot of good.
Anyway lot of people came to
know about Machinists who didn't
know very much about most of the
other unions.
Bill Mahon had lot about him that
was of the same order when he was
active boss of the Street Carmen. Lib

HOMEMAKERS'
STYLE SHOW

About go garments were modelled
Ill the style show which was an
outstanding feature of the Home

Gaithersburg on Thursday. Mrs.
Wallace Muir and Mrs. Robert Bill
hiner of Washington Grove were
in charge and they did a mighty
fine job of it. After a general in
PRODUCTION in verse, the mistresses
of ceremonies launched into lively
skit which introduced group of
LaytonsvilIe and Colesville All
girls in garments they had made
as a club activity.
The second group consisted of
feed sack clothing and was pre-
coded by verse and little by-play
with feed sacks. Mrs. Muir intro
duced the models and discussed the
fine points of their garments. This
was followed by remodeled cloth
ing. Preceding this classification
was an act showing how clothes
which would once have been given
to a rummage sale, can be mended,
reconstructed and made to look as
good as new. How to do it isn't a
secret to the Homemakers.
The final group was made up of
women who had remodeled mems
suits for themselves. The results
rivaled the work of Bond Street
tailor. The show was high lighted
by a lovely illustrated program
which Mrs. Muir had made and
which now is in the Home Demon
stration Office in Rockville.
