The leader of the pack, Finance, swept a series of three matches from the down but not out Ord nance B bowlers in their engage ment this week. Gayeski, the Mon- eymen's anchor man, rolled a 335 series to hang up the high string for his team. Michaelson rolled a 122 line.
 The OrdnanceA squad trounced the Signal Detachment in their set to, likewise sweeping all three matches into the twin" side of the ledger. Brunner, the losers star, rolled the highest game with 1855 naples toppling in his middle line. Clifford's total was nothing to be ashamed of either. Major Poudre lacked up one string of 112 when he rolled against Brunner's 1855. The Major must need a good com- petitor to keep his average up. Ordnance A had a margin of 123 pins, one of the highest yet in the League. However, the Signal De- tachment is a newcomer to the com petition and should prove quite a strong team as the season progress es. The scores:

 Westover opened
 with a quick squirt that had the Bradleyites reeling during the first quarter. At the end of the first half the scoreboard showed Westover still out in front by a 17-11 mar gin. Bourge and Davis kept the sphere popping through the hoop at steady intervals for the Flyers all through the first half, while the Bombers were held to two goals and seven foul shots. However, in the second half, the Bombers started to lay their eggs. Cole and Ward sank shots in quick succession and Gutkowski added a two-pointec just as the third period closed, with the Flyers still leading, 25-19.
 In the final period, the Bombers opened their bays and dropped bomb after bomb through the cords to score 21 points and sew up the game. Johnson and LoCicero hit their target nearly every time in the last quarter precision bombing attack and were it not for Bourge, the game would have turned into a rout for Bradley.

Convention
Highlights
Bv N. B. of O. P. DELEGATES

BY N. b. of O. P. DELEGATES
New Orleans.-Unusually serene is
this annual gathering of labor's clans
Disputes and "beefs" among the
various union representatives are
notable by their absence. The spirit
of unity is running remarkably strong
among the delegates. Contentious
issues of former years appear to have
faded into insignifcance compared
with the stern realities presented by
the war emergency and the gathering
problems Of the postwar period yet
to be faced.
This AFL convention is going to be
busy one. A long list of important
business matters must be considered
and acted upon. Fortunately, large
number of delegates have responded
to the convention call. The total may
reach 600, which is high considering
the restrictions placed on the number
of delegates representing any one
union.
Perhaps the most distinguished
guests invited to the convention are a
dozen wounded war veterans, men,
bers of AFL unions, who are now re-
cuperating from their narrowing
battle experiences at nearby LaGarde
Hospital. These veterans are to be
introduced individually to the con-
vention, thus focusing attention on
the fact that the men of labor are
fighting in this war as well as pro-
ducing weapons on the home front.
The problems of war veterans will be
discussed at the convention by the
heads Of the American Legion and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

League Warns
Against Equal
Rights Scheme
Don't Buy Gold
Brick" Is Advice

Cleveland, Ohio. (LNS). = "Don't
Buy Gold Brick" is the warning
sounded by the National Consumers
League attacking the so-called Equal
Rights" amendment now pending in
Congress. The proposal, which is op-
posed by both the AFL and the CIO
as well as a long list of influential
nat ional women's organizations,
nevertheless found a place in both
the Republican and Democratic plat
forms.
During the war women have
answered their country's call to the
production front by millions. 1t would
be sorry reward for their sacrifices
to deprive them of laws that freed
them from sweatshop exploitation,
the league declares in a new pam
phlet.
American women have refused for
over 20 years to buy this gold brick
promising equality, the consumers
League points out, because:
1t would not achieve equality but
confusion, throwing into jeopardy
myriads of hard-won federal and
state laws.
Better Way Seen
There is a better way Of achieving
equality between men and women;
namely, by removing from the books
such obsolete and discriminatory laws
as remain.
1t attacks the foundation of family
life. Shall the law deprive 80 million
homemaking women of their hus-
bands support - or, in the name Of
equality, require them to support
their husbands? Men and women are
different in biological structure and
social function. State laws regulating
working conditions for women, family
support, guardianship of children,
property and inheritance, marriage
and divorce, recognize these differ
ences.
1t destroys hard-won protective
laws for women. Thorough investiga-
tions by the Womens Bureau of the
Department of Labor show that pro-
tective laws do not restrict women's
opportunities.

Fortress Europe and when the day OF
reckoning comes it may be truly said
that without you victory could not
have been won."
Paul r. Porter, chairman of the
Shipbuilding Sterilization Committee
said that while Victory at home re-
mains labor's No. job, two great
tasks lie ahead-full employment at
home and security abroad.
"We must see to it that high
level of wages is maintained" he
said. "Wage ceilings to prevent in
llation during the war should become
wage floors after the war.
Rear Admiral Frederick G. Crisp,
director of the Navy's shore estab-
lishments, declared the war had
proved the superiority of free unions
and free enterprise over totalitarian
ism.
Other speakers included: Harry
Morton, labor relations director for
the Kaiser interest; Daniel S. Ring,
director of shipyard labor relations
for the Maritime Commission, and
William f. Patterson, chief of ap-
prentice training, War Manpower
Commission.

of mutual cooperation"
This cooperation, she said, should
include program of public service,
improvement in working conditions,
undermining industrial life and "set-
ting up in mutuality and cooperation
programs of relationships within in
dustry which will present strikes"
Miss Perkins predicted that various
ministerial functions, now scattered
through a variety of government
agencies, would be consolidated under
the Department of Labor and that
many OF these agencies would not be
retained after the war.
In the proposed consolidation, she
said, the National Labor Relations
Board should remain entirely inde-
pendent, and future dealings with in
dustrial disputes should "be based
upon an early return to negotiation
of wages by free collective bargain
ing"

Social Security Program
Summary - The Executive Council
reviewed the failure of Congress to
act on the Wagner Murray Dingell
Bill and demanded prompt enactment
of legislation to extend coverage of
old-age insurance, to broaden and
strengthen unemployment compensa-
tion on a uniform, national basis as a
vital postwar measure and to pro-

SUMMARY - lie OOuflCll lISJeu dL
great length all Federal and State
legislation affecting labor's interests,
with special attention being devoted
to the few anti-labor measures which
were adopted.
Establishment OF World Peace
The American Federation of Labor
believes that the United States has
responsibility for helping to plan
and operate agencies to keep the
peace between nations; to determine
policies in promotion of world eco
nomic welfare; to develop an ade-
quate body of international law with
a world court of justice. Any world
organization responsible for keeping
the peace must have the means to
prevent aggression.

Unity With The CIO

The cause of labor will not be well
served if we face the postwar period
divided, disunited and fighting each
other. 1t is reasonable to conclude
that we will be forced to meet a
severe test when the war is over. No
doubt the enemies of labor will unite
against US. That means we will be
compelled to face united opposition
on the part of our enemies and
changed economic conditions which
will seriously affect our efforts to
maintain American wage standards
and conditions of employment.
1t is the opinion of the Executive
Council that the leaders of the C1O
who are responsible for the division
within the ranks of labor should face
the facts, abandon the destructive
policy which they have followed for
years, and unite with the representa-
tives of the American Federation of
Labor in a sincere and constructive
effort to establish unity, cooperation
and solidarity within the ranks of
labor.
Postwar Planning
The Executive Council included in
it's report the full text Of the plan
drafted by the AFL Postwar Com
mittee and approved by the special
Postwar Conference held by the
AFL last spring. This report deals
with all the national and interna-
tional problems that will follow vic
tory and sets forth the specific
policies of the AFL on these subjects.
Membership And Finances
Secretary-Treasurer George Meany
reported that the AFL official, dues
paid membership stands at the all
time high of 6,S06,913. The AFL's in
come during the fiscal year was $2,-
703, 1889; it's expenditures, S2,333,-
5G9.30. Thus, with a $1,680,O76.3S
balance carried over from the pre-
vious year, the Federation's net bal
ance as of Aug. 81, 1914 was $2,049,-
69097. All income and expenditures
are listed in detail in the report. Re-
ports gathered from national and in
ternational unions showed they had
paid out a total of $18,919,801 in
death, sickness, unemployment, old
age, disability and other benefits to
members during the year.
Conclusion
Our report for the past year indi-
Gates how complex and varied are the
problems of today and of the future.
Many of these problems press urgent
ly for solution and in some cases spe-
cial reports on more recent happen
ings will be submitted We in our
country still have the opportunities
and responsibilities of freedom. 1t
will require all of our knowledge and
experience to meet the obligations
our free institutions lay upon us.
There are many that sought escape
from freedom by setting up institu
tions of control of a fascist nature.
We want to meet the challenge of the
future, advance the welfare of all
individuals in our progress toward
world peace and assure to each and
all the institutions and responsibilities
of freedom. The American Federation
of Labor has special service to con-
tribute to this end.

cause is vital"
