For hundred years, the worlds step-by-
step advance into the beginnings Of more Chris
tan world has, increasingly, been led in every
nation by men who, in their youth, were members
of the Y.M.CA.
1.-THE war has not shaken these Christian lead
ers. The peace will multiply the need for their kind
of leadership. The Y.M.C.A. was founded to pro-
mote that kind of leadership. 1t moves into its
second hundred years to multiply it,
As the ~" observes its 1ooth Birthday
Here are some of the highlights of YIN. A. SER
vice as it observes its Tooth Birthday in the midst
of world conflict.
In your community the ''Y'' is building char
acter in boys and young men to make good citizens.
1t is bringing to war prisoners throughout the
world relief from soul-destroying boredom and
inactivity and the heartening strength that comes
from religious worship.

To our fighting men the 'sY'' is bringing
recreation and relaxation - relief from military
routine = in some $50 service clubs and units
which it operates in the U.S.O. program.
In China the ''Y'' is bringing aid to the students
who will be the future leaders, and helping Chinese
millions to survive war, imitation, famine and
pestilence.
In 572 summer camps the t'Y'' is bringing
needed vacations in the country to city-tired
youngsters.
AND ALL OVER THE GLOBE THE CHRISTIAN LEADER

The Wilmington morning star., 1944-06-06

On June 6, 1914, twelve drygoods clerks met in
London and, under the leadership of George
Williams, organized society for the ''improve-
ment of the spiritual condition of young men en-
gagged in the drapery and other trades, by the
introduction of religious service among them.'
Today the force put into motion in that

itual conviction, moral courage, and social vision
essential to and sufficient for the future

the convention opened its doors last
Monday.
At the very outset Of his speech of
acceptance, Gov. Dewey again made his
position clear He said: THAT I have
not sought this responsibility, all of you
know-you have decided otherwise. In
accordance with the principles of our
Republican form Of Government you
have laid upon me the highest duty to
which an American can be called. No
one has right to refuse that CALI ac-
cept the nomination"
Because he maintained this position
to the end-the position of not being
candidate-Gov. Dewey made no COM
mitments to any one. AS he said, he
comes to the task free man.
The Republicans now have Governors
In 26 States. Eighteen of these Gov
ernors attended the convention, heading
their delegations. Their influence in
the Republican party was felt all along
the line. In the first place, two of the
Governors were placed on the national
ticket. Another Governor, Warren, de-
livered the keynote speech as temporary
chairman. Gov. Dewey was placed in
nomination by Gov. Griswold of Ne
braska. One Of his seconding speeches
was made by Gov. Saltonstall of Massa-
chusetts. Gov. Bricker was nominated
for Vice President by Gov Martin of
Pennsylvania, and others rose to Sec
ond the nomination.
Indeed, the infusion of new blood in
control Of the Republican party was
manifest throughout the convention.
New faces were in evidence everywhere,

Union Problem
NJ e m ber ship Loss
Due With Cutbacks
BY Joseph A. Lotfus.

Sharp cutbacks in war contracts, ex-
pected by labor leaders before the year
is out, will be paralleled by cutbacks in
the war-swollen membership lists of the
labor unions.
Unions like the machinists and the
boilermakers in the AFL and the auto
workers, shlpbuilders and steelWorkers
in the CIO probably will be hardest hit
Their membership totals have zoomed
to new highs in the war plants which
have mushroomed in the past four
years
Labor leaders are aware that all these
membership gains cannot be held. They
do hope, however, to prevent another
big slump such as followed the last war.
To do that they will have to:
l. Maintain employment.
2. Combat any possible open-shop
drive by employers
3. Stop thousands OF members from
dropping out of unions which they
Joined because they had to rather than
because they believed in unions.
Experiences Of Unions.
Membership in the Brotherhood of
Boilermakers Iron Ship Builders and
Helpers of America (AFL) rose in the
last war from few thousand to about
100000. Then it slid back to its old level
and did not show an appreciable climb
again until 1910. Now it has more than
100000 members.
The AFL Machinists' membership has
almost quadrupled, largely because of
plant-wide organization in aviation
The CIO United Auto Workers, not vet
10 years old, has more than a million
members. The Steelworkers, equally
young, has about three-quarters of a
million.
Union membership nosedived after
the last war From high OF about
100000 in 1920, membership in AFL.
unions was cut almost in half by 1888.
The drop was continuous except for
slight rally between 1927 and 1880. To-
day, the AFL reports nearly 1000 900
dues paying members in afIiliated
unions.
The plight of the women in industry
who want to stay there is not going to
be an easy one after the war, and wom-
ems leaders are aware of 1t. Unions are
not expected to adopt any antifeminine
policy If employment recedes heavily.
They won't have to.
Seniority Rule Stands.
Returning servicemen are entitled by
law to job comparable to their old
one. Too, most union contracts provide
that seniority shall be maintained. En-
ployes who came In during the war, men
as well as women, go to the bottom Of
the hiring list.
The union policy of demanding equal
pay for women for equal work was not
just charity. It will tend to handicap
woman workers when competition for
jobs returns. Except in light industry
and some jobs which women can per-
form as well or better than men, en-
ployers are likely to turn to men If
they are obtainable for the same wage.
Women's leaders are aware, too, that
If things really get tough they may
still have to combat the old cry "a
woman's place Is in the home"
