MARRIED WOMEN'S RIGHTS
UPHELD IN MASSACHUSETTS

Boston ILNS) The State Supreme
Judicial Court has upheld the right OF
married women to hold municipal
jobs, ruling unconstitutional the dis
missal of 6 married women employed
by the water and public welfare de
partments of Somerville.
These women" the court said,
''were" not removed for proper cause,
because the (city) ordinance was in
valid inasmuch as it deprives married
women of the constitutional right to
equal opportunity for the selection OF
public employment or service"
The courts decision, however point
ed out that the ruling did not conflict
with a previous opinion which held
that married women might be banned
as school teachers.
school committees have discretion
in the case of teachers because married
women in some public employment may
be considered less qualified than un-
married women" the court said.
The 6 Somerville women were dis
missed in May, 1898, and carried their
fight through the courts for reinstate-
ment with back pay.

TIME LABOR BOARD ACTED

A LTHOUGH year has passed since Western
Union absorbed Postal Telegraph, nearly all
.he 44,300 employees are working under AFL
maintenance of membership agreements while
1000 ex-Postal employees are still covered by a
JIO closed shop agreement. Until National Labor
Relations Board election clears up this chaotic
situation, telegraph workers are confronted with
What is perhaps the most complex labor problem
which has ever been faced in any industry.
With conflicting labor agreements covering
employees in the same offices, doing similar work,
with different wage scales, different methods of
seniority, different hours of work and
different vacation and pension provisions, Western
Union employees under AFL agreements have
been urging the NLRB to order national election
at the earliest possible moment to put an end to
the thousands of problems arising out of the
merger of the two telegraph companies.
The CIO favors only city-wide and district
wide elections.
The labor board has had the case before it
since April, when hearings on the AFL petition
for an election closed after Ga days. The examiner
made his recommendations in July for division
wide elections covering seven units In the mean
time with an average of but one ex-Postal worker
out of every 10 Western Union employees involved
in the integration Of Postal offices into the West
ern Union system, an apparently endless series
Of disputes over seniority, wages and hours isl
the smooth operations of the vital
industry.

JUST A GENTLE REMINDER

THE NATIONAL War Fund needs no introduc-
tion to the members of our international Union.
They are fully aware of the reasons why, once
each year, the local agency of the National War
Fund in every community conducts Embarrassing
campaign. They know for what purposes the
money they contribute to the local War Chest
or Community Chest is used. They have seen for
themselves the fine things organizations like the
USO, to mention but one, are doing for our serv-
cemen in this country, and they have heard from
servicemen themselves what good work is being
done overseas by these same organizations-all
all made possible by contributions to the local
agency of the National War Fund. They know
also how essential to the program is the
foreign relief work made possible by their con-
trbutions.
But even though our members are aware of all
that the National War Fund is enabled to do be-
cause of the money they give to it, they may not
be aware that the NWF Embarrassing season is
again upon us. This is just reminder, then, that
War Chest drives are now under way In many
communities, and will soon get under way in many
others, and the time has come to make that an
nual contribution again

FULL EMPLOYMENT
OFrom the Halifax IIeraId)


1T SEEMS TO us, if we have any appreciation of
the problem that unemployment can only DC
banished from this land when there is the Will
and determination on the part of everyone so to
Danish it, In other words, we must look not only
to governments and parliaments and legislatures
and all public agencies, but to every form of ac-
tivty that creates employment and to every ctl-
zen of good will and understanding who desires to
create employment.
There is in Great Britain at this moment a
movement that very greatly merits our attention
and emulation I'm small communities in the United
Kingdom they are not waiting for action from
London, but are planning now and moving now
to find job for every person within the commun-
ity who will need job when the war is over.
No, 1t is not on the blackDoards OF economies
that these problems will be solved-they must be
grappled with and solved by the combined efforts
of the Canadian people

TRUE PEACE - AND FALSE

rTHE DUMBARTON OAKS conference is beng
held in line with certain bad precedents that
were established at Teheran, with maximum OF
secrecy and an exaggerated display OF armed
forces This should not, however, prevent the
American people from considering very seriously
the alternative types of settlement which the
happy approaching end of the war in Europe
places before the world.
There could 6e true peace, based on the
principle of equal rights and equal obligations Tor
all nations large and small, on respect Tor the
principles of the Atlantic Charter for self-deter-
mnation, for equality of economic opportunity
Such peace would be positive rather than punl-
tive in character and would aim at an elimination
of the basic causes of war 1t would include pro-
visions for al-around limitation of armament,
with sanctions in the form of air policing against
a revival of German or Japanese milltarsm.
1t would stress functional, rather than repres-
sive measures with impartally administered re-
lief measures for the countries that will be most
shattered after the end Of war, evolving into a
program of large-scale common economic enter
prises designed to raise the standard of living
everywhere.

YOUR VOTE

IN RECENT weeks we have heard the two lead
ing candidates for the Presidency called every
thing but gentlemen. We have seen the daily
papers resort to one of the drtest, most under
handed campaigns in the history of this nation.
Their stories and insinuations have been little
short Of belous.
Speakers on both sides have been anything but
considerate Of the fact that seeds of doubt and
suspicion planted may bear bitter fruit in the
days to come.
II is up to the little fellow therefore, to go to
the polls only after having made thorough and
impartial study of the records of the two men and
their parties and vote for the one which he thinks
comes closest to representing his interests and his
future welfare.
But regardless of what your decision might
be, don't neglect that right and privilege. Your
vote means more today than ever before in the
history of this nation. Use it.

THE NATIONAL GAME
IF THE United States has one game tn

IF THE United States has one game that is truly
national it is baseball This is the hundreth
year it has been played under accepted rules. The
British say it is an adaptation of Founders. One
hundred per cent Americans know it is an evou-
ton of One Old Cat, and will stoutly deny any
foreign faint. Certainly, in no other country has
such game ever been played with the same skill
and intensity as baseball is played in this country
Professional baseball as now organized has
lived through two wars. Many Of its best players
have been drafted, or have volunteered, as they
did twenty-seven years ago. All those playing now
have been exempted from service for one reason
or another. Fans who remember the pre-War
style of play in the two major leagues do not rate
too highly the skill that has been exhibited the
last two years. But the game still attracts more
through r-and-a-half-mOnth sea-
son than any other professional sport.
This heavy attendance ut baseball games, Co
incding with the most desperate war in history,
may be puzzlng and dsheartening to our soldiers,
sailors and marines overseas but if they think it
through they probably will agree that it is i'm
possible for everyone to work every hour of every
day at his war Job and that some relaxation on
the home front is as desirable as it is in a COM
bat area.

''iSA'
IA Germany surrenders?
There are two ways to do it. One is to drop
everything rush out and have yourself a RIP
roaring time until you pass out or drop from sheer
fatigue.
The other way is to do your rejoicing IN a
sane sensible manner-in attitude OF thanks
giving for what has been done, and OF prayer tor
the speedy and successful completion OF what still
lies ahead.
If you are a professional celebrator, you may
choose the first way.
But if you have felt the impact OF war at first
hand if a son or a father or a husband or a
brother has fallen in service; if a loved one is III
the Pacific still carrying on against the unde
feated Jap-then the chances are that you are not
going to be in the mood for much hat-tearlng or
back -whamming
Victory over Germany will mean only one
thing-that we have won the first round OF "a
hard fight, and that knock-down, drag-out battle
still remains The middle of fight is no time for
a nationwide carousa or for conduct that brings
violence accidents and destruction OF property.
The National Safety Council offers V-Day
suggestion that makes sense. 1t is: Don't Make
V-Day Spree Day."

FULL RETREAT
A communique said the enemy
was in full retreat, abandoning huge
quantities of equipment in a rush
to escape the rapic ly closing trap.
Thousands of Nazi and Hungarian
soldiers were hemmed inside the
city itself, however, and it seemed
certain that in a matter of days at
most they would have an opportun-
ity to make good their boast to turn
Budapest into another Stalingrad.
With little prospect of eXtricat-
ing more than a scattering of men
and equipment from the city, mill
tary observers believed the Nazis
would use Budapest's subways, hills,
canals and tall buildings for de-
structive and suicidal delaying
stand. -
