Trade Unions
War ON Clio

The Detroit Building Trades
Council, AFL. today threw down
the gantlet TO the CLOS new
Maintenance and PowerhouSe
Workers Council.
In a formal notification 10 all
contractors, Ed Thai, secretary of
the trades council. said that his
organization. consisting of $4,000
skilled craftsmen belonging to 10
international craft unions. would
refuse 10 start any new construc-
ton or plant rehabilitation jobs
without a contract permitting it
to finish the job.
NO STRIKES CALLED
1--WE do not intend to walk off
any job, either war or civilian,
on which we are now engaged"
said Thai.
"Our organization hasn't had
a strike In three years and we
do not intend TO mar that rec
ord. But we are tired OF being
thrown off jobs which are then
finished by CIO maintenance
men.
Prom now on, we finish
what we start and this includes
all new construction as we'll
as rehabilitation jobs In the
plants"
BACK ULTIaIATUM
Thai said that 40 locals of the
council had passed resolutions
supporting the ultimatum.
He said that the policy would
be enforced by refusal TO send any
skilled AFL men to jobs where
the AFL could not get contracts
specifying that they finish them.
Thai cited two instances In
which AFL men had been re-
moved from jobs which were fin
ished by Go maintenance men.
They were on a hangar job al
Willow Run last May and a Pack

Jap Women

NEW YORK, Dec. Is (1NS)-
Perhaps it's because of the war
but Japanese women have aban-
doned their flowing kimonas, once
described as an "unexplainably
beautiful and graceful costume,
for the more unitarian outfit
called "mompei."
The "mompei." described in a
Tokyo broadcast recorded by the
FEC, is a baggy pair of Stacks
so pleasing to the japanese that
MANY are now unable to under
stand why the kimono ever was
admired"
Besides, added the broadcast,
the "mompei" is easier to get
around in.

you are getting these soldiers in the
hospital. My surgeon insisted that
stay in bed for three weeks, which I did
With his permission, however at the
end Of the second day I began to take
workouts in bed much more strenuous
than you saw in the hospital gymnasium
here. I had three 35-minute workouts

because I had no dumbells or other
equipment like that, but worked one
muscle group against the other I
worked as hard as I would have worked
had I been lifting weights. l worked
everything but my abdominal muscles.
Il even bridged on by head and feet
with my knees straight. Any Of you
who has tried this knows that it is
pretty good strain on the back muscles
At the end of three weeks I was stronger
muscularly than when went to bed.
Il got out of bed at the end of three
weeks and had no unpleasant symptoms.
l obeyed my doctor. 1 had not been out
of bed. But when I got out l wasn't

and did a half-hour's workout about

There I was, three weeks in bed with
out getting up at ALL and I didn't even
have sympathetic disturbances when I
did get up. The point is that the man
who has been operated upon can work
the noninjured parts of his body just as
we'll as if he were a we'll man"
"One important function of this type
of exercise is to combat the feeling
that man is an invalid. I am quite
sure that If we start with these men
in such way they will never
get the feeling that they are in an
Army hospital. We should get those

THE wound healed up once and I was

the Japs out of their cover. Panic hit
'em and they ran every which way, out
in the open. We picked 'em off easy,

strating with an imaginary gun. 'Rat-

They've taken out quite a bit of bone
already from this leg. But it'll get well
now. This penicillin is great stuff"

doctors, in better mental and physical
condition
Chances for Study
To help this reconditioning men,
tally the men are provided with oppor-
tunity for study, principally through
the United States Armed Forces Insti-
tute. The hospital library, with text
BOOKS, as well as recreational reading, Is
busy place. Morale or1icers provide
not only diversion, but orientation
courses for the men; there are movies,
not only for entertainment, but for
intelligent discussion Of military prob
lens, and the men are given refresher
courses in the use of weapons.
The American Red Cross has an elab-
crate program at Schick, as it has in
every general hospital of the armed
forces. Physical therapy treatment in
Its most modern forms is given the
men. There are occupational therapy

tion, and even blacksmith shop where

The reconditioning program at Schick
is under personal supervision Of rubi-
cund Col. Dean F. Winn, commandant
of the hospital. He is proud not only
of the program but of the food record
of the institution.
The patients apparently like the
plentiful and wholesome food and the
slogan of take all you want, but eat
all you take" There is some grumbling,
reminiscent of last war as well as this,
because the boys would like to have
more furloughs to visit their families.

From the gymnasium and bed exer-
cises the officers went to a mental

is able to return him.
