FRENCH SEAMEN SET UP
HEADQUARTERS IN ALGIERS

New York City ULNS).-After Sev-
eral years of existence in exile, with
headquarters in London, the French
SeamenS Union has transferred its
headquarters to AlgierS says the New
York Office of the International Trans,
port Workers Federation, of which
the French Seamen'S Union is an allili-
ate. The cabled report from London
also states that the French Seamen in
North Africa are almost 100 per cent
organized.
Branches of the French union have
sprung up during the last several
years, in whatever ports French ships
found themselves. Almost Immediately
after North Africa was freed from the
clutches of Nichy and Nichy's anti
union laws, the French Seamen rcor-
@anized their union. The union will be
greatly strengthened now that these
branches are pulled together within
one organization whose headquarters
is in the same place as the seat of the
French government

READ DIGEST "QUICKIE"

COME THOUSANDS of Americans who read
- Readers Digest faithfully each month were
fooled again last month if we can believe Ma
tional Labor Relations Board decision
In an article entitled Fifty Years Without a
Labor Squabble" condensed from the magazine
Future labor relations Of the Falk Corporation OF
Milwaukee were pictured as ideaStic in muShy,
true confession style. Wages were pictured as the
same in any other Milwaukee plant, the employees
preferred not to have union representation, and
the good treatment given them by the manage
ment resulted in two starred Navy pennant.
However; the highlights Of a National Labor
Relations Board decision, not published by Read
ers Digest, were quite contrary to the Subuy anti
labor Digest article:
The Fak Corporation was ordered to cease
and desst from unlaWfully restraining and Co
ercng employees in the exercise Of their right for
self-organZatiOn for collective bargaining. The
corporation was ordered to withdraw all recoGn-
ton from the company union (sc) which 1t IS
found to have dominated, and an election is to be
held after the board is satisfied that the effects
of the company's unfair labor practices have been
dissipated by compliance with the boards order.
This is not the first time the Digest has printed
anti-labor 'cOndensationS' from other periodicals,
or for that matter specially written articles by
correspondents despite the fact that it is alIegedly
a digest of timely articles from popular publca-
tions.
Some of its recent articles dealing with labor
have been so obviously distorted that they left a
bad taste in the mouths of the readers Just as
much like Pcgler's datlibcs, only proved that
there must be another side to the story.

A SALES TAX OR .

IN IT'S CAMPAIGN for sales tax, the national
Chamber of Commerce claims to have unearthed
some workers who favor this method for making
the poor shoulder the rich mans tax burden.
AS evidence that widespread sentiment
exists for sales tax the Chambers Washington
Review reports that "a small, eastern steel dis
tributing company conducted poll among it's
workers which showed 1O4 votes for 1870 retail
sales tax
Remarkable! But wait minute, this is only
half the story. The report continues with 1T
votes for 1870 increase in the withholding tax,
and 3 not vOting.'
In other words, the workers were apparently
asked which they preferred, a 1919 sales tax or
a 1870 increase in their withholding tax.
Caught between the devil and the deep blue
sea- most of them evidently decided that devil
of 1919 more docked from their wages was worse
than nounderng in a Of 1870 higher living
costs.
This incident is typical of the phoney sales
tax propaganda. Actually the choice is not be-
tween two alternative methods of soaking the low
est paid. 1t is between taxing the wealthy to
ability to pay, or making those least able to pay
bear most of the burden through sales tax.
If these workers had been asked if they pre-
ferred a 1879 sales tax to higher taxes on upper
incomes and war profits, we don't think the sales
tax would have received single vote.

PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN

THE FURORE in the press and Congress over
the New Years Eve outburst against labor
attributed to General Marshall follows familial
pattern that is peculiarly sinister in this decisive
war year of 1914.
Regardless of the statements intentions, it has
been seized upon with delight by the worst labor
hating divsiOn-seeking and anti-war forces in the
country.
terrific propaganda campaign is now under
way to create hatred and division between labor
and the armed forces to turn group against group,
to play partisan politics against our admnistra-
ton and Commander-in-Chief and to pressure
Congress into passing disruptve anti-labor legis-
latiOn.
Big business profteers and their tory political
StOOgeS are promoting the uprOar to do a JOB on
labor and the administration.
At the same time anti-labOr isoatiOnist and
defeatists with their tongues in their cheeks, are
posing as defenders of labor against the Generals
attack and hoping to fish in the mudded waters.
1t is hardly coincidence that anti-labor propa-
ganda campaigns of this type have been launched
by the big-business press in similarly concerted
fashion at the beginning of every year lately-on
whatever pretext is handiest at the time.
In 1943 it was Rickenbacker who fired the
opening shot for the huge press campaign against
labor on "absenteeism" and 1912 started with an
equally phOny, reactionary and Well-fnanced drive
on the non-existent "4O-hour week.
1t so happens that new session Of Congress
starts in January of each year. Each OF these
therefore has been designed to create
public hySteria against labor and the admlnlstra-
ton, under cover of which Congress may pass
reactionary and union-busting legislation.
This years campaign is particularly danger
GUS however, since it comes on the eve OF the
invasion of Europe, when our country urgently
needs the highest degree of national unity OF
effort and purpose.

LABOR TO GIVE FULL SUPPORT

ENFANTlLE PARALYSIS is still with us, and,
as usual, the entire country will join in con-
tributng to help alleviate the suffering of victims
Of this dread disease which makes no distinction
in its unrelenting attack on humanity
The Presidents Birthday Balls will be held in
all cities of the nation and organized labor as in
the past, will lend its full support Millions of
dollars will be made available to relieve to some
extent the pain of comparatively a few.
The medical profession--the American Medical
Association, the doctors, physicians, surgeons -
claim that only they can treat our people who are
i'll, but up to they have little cause to boast
of progress against this particular disease. 1t con-
tnues to raVage young and old, with no cure in
sight and only relief possible.
Organized labor, however, is glad of the oppor-
tunty to help provide funds to combat this enemy
of mankind, and this year as in the past, will
generously add its mite to the fund which pro-
Vides relief to afflicted brothers.
The campaign starts Jan. II, but there is no
limit to the amount YOU can give. Polomyelitis
has no respect for rank or caste, and your contri
button will help to relieve some one, somewhere,
some time.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Readers Digest, which gained world
wide popularity by condensing articles
from leading magazines for hasty
reading, has reached circulation OF
about 10 million and a desire to be a
real force in shaping events.
especially for its pages by some of its
many special writer's. 1t is accused
even of having printed articles in other
leading magazines which it can con.
dense and digest, for the editication OF
its editors and readers.
Scrutiny of past issues shows it used
special article approving of Franco
Mussolini and Hitler, and while OF
course it now is 100 per cent American
it loses few opportunities to take q
slap at President Roosevelt and his
administration.
LabOr-OrganiZed labOr-tOo can eX.
pect few favOrs from Readers Digest
Almost every issue has an article ap-
parently favorable to organized labor
But it is sandwiched in between other
articles by its special writer's setting
forth the true feeling of the Digest and
its owner, Dewitt Wallace, toward
organized labor.
This monthly magazine, with its
huge circulation, may really be a force
in determining the complexion of the
next administration, which, if the
voters follow it's preachments, will not
be the same we have had for the past
II years.
The New Year brought condemnation
of labor from what unfriendly daily
newspapers called Il high official
source Putting their own interpre-
tation on official remarks they sue
ceeded in placing organized labor in an
unenviable position.
Up to now no publication has quoted
the exact words used by this high
official source" so that the reader
could judge the real meaning of them.
The daily papers and most radio COM
mentators chose to rely solely on their
judgment that the action of railroad
and steel unions had given aid and
comfort to the enemy.
AS Il matter of fact, most of them
stated positively that Hitler was aided
by the threats of strikes, the war was
prolonged, and thousands of American
soldiers thus condemned to death
Just how these newspapers and radio
commentators can be in such close
touch with Hitler and GOering to us is
a mystery. American bombs are still
raining on Germany, and even Stain
was aStonished by arms production of
American workers.
1t is just possible, you know, that
these editors understand the German
people better than they understand
their American readers, who do not
believe everything they read in the
daily papers and hear on the air.
Labor does not have to offer excuses
for its performance in this war. No
mechanic to our knowledge can boast
of wages 1000 per cent above the pre-
war level.

PEOPLE CAN'T BE SUBDUED
.URING AND after the last World War

During AND after the last World War some OF
" our industrial tycoons and army officers made
plans to put labor in its place" This plan was
discussed even in our camps in France while our
doughboys were trying to push heines back
across the line
The 1917 so-called "Amercan plan" was dis
nal failure, chiefly perhaps because the reason its
supporters wanted to subdue organized labor was
TO provide themselves with an opportunity to col
ect unlimited profits from American consumers.
They wanted to promote themselves at the eX-
pense of the little people of this country.
There is little doubt that the same big shots
hope to attain the same goal before this war is
finished They want labor in a position where
working men and women can be told where to get
off, and they want laws enforced by the federal
government which will assure labor Of minor
role in the industrial world. Present unlimited
profits with wages practically frozen supports this
belief.
What our Would-be Fascists forgot is that the
American people cannot be subdued. They cannot
be conquered by any sort of dictator, whether he
be alien or domestic. Even a Temporary" victory
will lead only 20 later grief because, like Church.
ills Britain, union labor fights hardest with its
back to the wall

Lynn Says

The Score Card: Egg supplies
are at an all-time high, so scram-
BILE them, poach, fry, boil them.
Use them in custards, buildings,
or pies, but use them for econo-
my's sake and for health.
Cheese production is in for an
other cut, and there will be less
cheese, except cottage cheese, of
course. Use it wisely.
Fat supplies and oils for civilian
use are getting smaller. Use them
sparingly, and salvage what you
can to turn in to your butcher for
points and money. On the Also
Save list are tin cans and waste
paper. Salvage all that you pos
sibly can.

VARNISH REMOVER

Question: I understand you have
formula, a combination of acids,
for removal of old varnish from
floors. May have copy of the
formula?
Answer: Trisodium phosphate can
be used, in the proportion of three
pounds to the gallon of hot water.
This is an alkaline remover, not an
acid. The chemical can be bought
in bulk from large paint store or
mail order house, and also from a
dealer in chemicals. 1t is not car
ried at drug stores. 1t can be bought
at a grocer's under various trade
names. Ask for a colorless clean
ing powder that makes no lather.
After varnish is removed, rinse off
all traces of the solution with clear
water, and allow the wood to dry
thoroughly. You can have the floors
scraped with a f1oor-sanding ma
chine. This will save you hours of
work and eliminate much of the
mess that goes with a liquid var
nish remover job.

ing room and bath. This is a hot
air furnace and it is centrally To-
Gated in the basement.
Answer: When installing a heating

lows for the heat generated by the
kitchen range, when cooking, and
puts in smaller radiator or hot air
duct. II more heat is desired a
larger air duct and opening will be
necessary.

SAVE VITAMINS!

When you're preparing vegeta-

these cautions for conserving vi
tamins:
AS soon as food comes in from
the garden or market, wash and
refrigerate. Don't prepare vege-
tables ahead of time for cooking
and let stand in water, as this
destroys vitamins.
Prepare fruit cups and salads
just before serving. Cut surfaces
exposed to air destroy vitamin G.

Leaking Aquarium

Question: My goldfish aquarium
has developed leak. Can you sug-

Answer: Do not consider using
the shavings, for it would hold mois-
ture and attract insects, mice and
other vermin which would find it
an ideal breeding place. Get good
commercial material.

Washing Outside Paint

Question: I should like to wash
the outside of our house. The paint
seems to be all right, but it is very
dirty. What is the best way to do
a good job?
Answer: You can wash the paint
ed surfaces with plain soap and wa
ter, or you can use a solution of
washing soda or trisodium phosphate
in water. Do not use the solution
stronger than tablespoon to a pail
of water; if you do, the paint will
be damaged. To simplify the work,
use a scrubbing brush on a long
handle. Your garden hose, if you
have one. would be handy for rims
