correspondence with local union off
GERS would make possible.
Yet there are localities that boast
of splendid local labor papers in which
nevertheless our own local unions but
rarely receive any mention. The fault
in such cases does not lie with the
papers editors for they are in most
cases eager for news from local
unions. The explanation is to be
sought in the indifference of local
union officers. Perhaps they fail to
fully appreciate the building value of
publicity among local trade unionists
in the interest of the local unions
presented by them. Local unions that
are successful should not hide their
light under the bushel. On the other
hand, local unions engaged in a
struggle to conquer obstacles that
have been barring their way to prog
ress should not hesitate to enlist the
sympathy and help of organized labor
IN the district by giving their prob
lens publicity through the local labor
press.

RELIEF FOR
WAR VICTIMS

The American Committee for Brit
ish Catholic Relief is one of the noted
agencies with Representatives in Brit

Relief Society of the U. S. A., men,
Der agency of the National War Fund,
distributes relief to war victims, ac-
cording to Joseph H. Warndorf, treas
urer of the Hamilton and Butler

Through this agency, The British
War Relief Society received the story
of new house of studies for a group
of refugee members of the Augustin-
ians Of the Assumption, which was
supplied with blankets and other
equipment by The British War Relief
Society.
In the group were 18 Canadian and
English novitiates who had been
studying in France. One day French

GREEN DENOUNCES
ARGENTINE RULERS
FOR JAILINC LEADER

Washington, d. C.-The American
Federation of Labor denounced the
action of the Farrell-Peron govern
ment of Argentina in imprisoning
Juan Antonio Solari, one of the most
articulate and aggressive advocates of
democracy and free trade unionism in
that country.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor, in a
letter to Secretary of State Cordell
Hull, asserted that the jailing of
Solari constituted further evidence
of the dangerous character of the
regime which is now administering
the political affairs in Argentina"
Secretary Treasurer George Meany
pointed out that "this routine of i'm
prisoning labor leaders and progress
sive thinkers follows the same pattern
and technique used by Hitler to
shackle and then destroy labor unions
and democracy in Germany"
The text of President Green's letter
to Mr. Hull follows:
81 have just learned with feeling
of profound regret that Juan Antonio
Solari, an outstanding leader of Ar
gentina who visited with us last year,
has been arrested and imprisoned Mr..
Solari made many friends among the
men and women of labor in the United
States during his visit.
'It is difficult to understand why
such an outstanding representative of
the people in Argentina should be ar
rested. We interpret such action as
further evidence of the dangerous
character of the regime which is now
administering the political affairs of
Argentina. The members of the
American Federation of Labor, num-
bering approximately seven million
cannot believe that Mr.. Solari's arrest
and Imprisonment reflects the real
feeling of organized labor and the
progressive forces in Argentina.
81 will be grateful to you and youl
department if you will secure infor.

which surrounded the arrest and i'm
prisonment of Mr.. Solari in Argentine
and if you will advise me as to his
status and the charges made against
him which resulted in his arrest ant

Poverty, due to low wages, is
largely responsible for tuberculosis.
The fact has long been recognized and
pointed out by organized labor. Now
the same fact is being emphasized in
Holland and other countries under
the Nazi heel.
tuberculosis in Occupied Holland
has increased alarmingly, according
to an address by DR.. Hornstra at a
meeting of the Netherlands Society
for Combating tuberculosis, reported
in Het Algemeen Handelsblad, Ger
man-controlled Amsterdam paper.
DIR. Hornstra said that it had again
been shown that poverty and hunger
were still the chief concomitants of
tuberculosis. It's causes, he added,
were bad food and living conditions,
as we'll as the increasing psychic
burdens" and decentralization Of the
population. He asked for a better
organization of the fight against the
disease and suggested that tubercu-
losis be brought under the control of
the law covering infectious diseases
"a permanent representative inter
national board with well defined pow
ers must be set up to regulate all

survey of postwar aviation problems
published by the Public Affairs Com
mittee, New York City.

scramble for air traffic we must

DON'T HIDE YOUR

(From the Catering Industry Employe)
The Catering Industry Employe has
on it's exchange list some 100 or more
weekly and monthly labor publica-
tions. Most of the weekly labor pa
pers on our exchange list are being
published in the interest of the local
labor movement in the town or city
where they appear, and very large
number of them carry the endorse
ment of their respective central
bodies.
Many of these papers provide space
for reports from local unions, or
where local union officers and mem

views concerning problems of organ

that officers of a considerable number
of local unions affiliated with our in

Realizing how they would be treated
by the Nazis, they fled at once on
foot. They walked all night, and hid
by day in haystacks and woods. Often
enough to stave off starvation they
found friendly French people who
took them in and fed them.
Near the Spanish border they were
nearly tracked down by the hounds
which the Germans use to prevent
escapes, but eluded them by sliding
down deep, stony ravine. They
reached neutral territory after ter
rible hardships and eventually found
peace in an English village.

Many A. F. of L. unions have gone
much farther than the terms of this

Tests Show Refuse

At least one ton of mine refuse is

the bureau engineers found after
careful tests for coal content at
some mines and general observa'
tons at others. The ratio at mech
anized mines ran as high as one ton
of refuse for every three tons of coal.
while at hand-loading operations it
was about one to twenty.
Mine refuse comes from falls OF
roof. cleaning UP roadways and work
ing places in the mine, and material
that has been rejected in handpick-
ing. It is ''gobbed" underground or
brought to the surface and dumped
in piles. Many surface waste piles
are destroyed by burning. Some OF
the mines in the Pittsburgh area al
ready are recovering coal from
mine refuse, while many others are
not.
In proving that valuable coal is
being overlooked IN waste pies, DUR

of nearly $1,000 pounds of typical
refuse fresh from mine and found
that it contained more than 1850

Black Satin Is Smart
For Restaurant Suit
Jewel Buttons, Ascot Tie
Set Off These Costumes.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS


There's new fashion in the max
ing that is filling real need. It's
the restaurant suit which makes
"above table glamour" its theme.
Already it has become quite fea-
ture in the current style picture.
To be sure, a suit is a suit, but
when it's restaurant suit some
thing new is being added to the fash
ion picture. This something new"
is surely giving the world of fashion
plenty to talk about this season, for
while it is suit, it's different.
When you are planning a restau-
rant suit you can crafty all the
wistful-wishing Whims, the little van
tiles and dressy effects that differen-
tate it from your prosaic wear
about-toWn suit. It's outstanding
characteristic is that it calls for
distinctly dress-up fabrics notable
among which are the choice jac-
guard satins that look like the ex-
elusive necktie materials one sees
in a smart haberdasher's window.
The suit itself is tailored of the mod
ish jacquard, but to give it "above-
table" CLEAN it takes on jeweled
buttons and with a devastating lit
tie hat and possibly sequinned as
cot tie, it has look about it of an
invitation to concert or dance or
theater party later on in the eve
ming.
Black satin is ever so smart for
the restaurant suit, the coat boxy
type worn with a black satin skirt
and a sparkling sequinned blouse.
Should it be of the suit-dress type,
the little gown underneath is apt to
have a sheer yoke top. Black MORE
for the restaurant suit is also smart
fashion.
This year news comes from style
centers to the effect that black vel
vet suits will be worn. Exquisitely
genteel looking is a semi-ftted jack
ct with cuffs and revers of sable.
The slim wrap around skirt is
topped with a sequinned fuchsia
blouse. Hat, gloves and bag are of
black suede.

THE MAN FROM MARS AND

II suppose that to a person from

with our customs, the radio must
give strange impression, we said.
