Piodela. Miss Rodriguez has at
tanned unique honor in gradu-
ating in music, magma cum laude,
simultaneously with her classical
course. Miss Rodriguez played
several selections, thrilling her
audience with her very clever
.renditions.
Miss jeanne Mckenzie spoke
the Valedictory. Miss Mckenzie
told her hearers what she and
her companions meant when they
said education. THAT culture
of the mind, the will, and the
emotions, which while adopting
one for the experience of par
ticular calling disposes him to
achieve an excellent personal and
social life within the framework
of that calling. The object of such
education is nothing else than
human happiness. Miss Mckenzie
terminated her speech by declar-
ing that she and her companions
would remember always that
when a woman has lost her
womanhood, she has lost her soul
even though she has gained the
world"
The Seniors of AS then sang
the c. M. song after which
the magnificent martial Lead On
America" began the occasional,
fitting finale to a splendid pro-
gram.
The graduates are: Misses Fay
Baker, Donna Bolt, Rose Curry,
Henrietta Carrera, Emma Holm

should cause a widespread job
shortage temporarily.
Labor leaders insist there must
be prompt and generous in
creases in wage rates to protect
workers against reconversion un-
employment"
Slumps in employment win
bring renewed union demands for
a 30-hour week to spread the
work. There will be increased
effort to put guaranteed employ
ment with annual wage provi-
sions in labor contracts. Union
leaders also urge an easing of the
tax burden on the lower income
groups as a method of strength
ening mass purchasing power.
They suggest a $4,000 personal
exemption from income tax for a
married couple and $500 credit for
each dependent.
Peace will bring shifts in the
labor force. A tremendous de-
crease is forecast in the number
OF workers in high-wage aircraft.

duction. Some will 60 into large
pay construction work but many
will have to look for employment
IN comparatively low-wage trade
and service fields.
Slump Expected
Labor leaders are concerned
about a likely slump in union
membership as war production
decreases. They recall the big
decline after World War /, when
AL membership dropped from
high of 100000 in 1920 to a
little more than 100000 in 1888.
In 1889, membership of the
AL and Clio totaled some $780,
900. The AFL recently reported
more than 100000 and the CLIO
listed 100000 "a total almost
double that at the start of the
war in Europe. Unions like the
machinists and the boilermakers
in the AL and the auto workers,
steel workers and ship builders
in the CIO have made particular
ly. large membership gains dur
ing the war.
Union officials say labor will
continue its fight against such
legislation as the constitutional
amendments enacted recently in
Florida and Arkansas outlawing
the closed shop. They also are de-
handing repeal of the Smith Con-
nally Anti-Strike Law, contend
ing it has actually served to en-
courage strikes and retard pro-
duction.

WASHINGTON. May 24.-De-
spite prospects of a postwar bust
ness boom, organized labor is
worried about what may happen
when war with Japan ends. II al
ready is yoicing fear that unem-
ployment will follow Germany's
collapse.
Union leaders contend that the
purchasing power of millions of
workers, even if there is no great
unemployment, will be drastical-
ly cut when the government stops
buying war materials. ALL Pres
ident William Green says these
workers are now compelled to de-
pend upon overtime pay to meet
household budgets because of
high living costs.
THAT MEANS says Green. that
a worker now receiving ST an
hour for 40 hours a week and
$1.50 an hour for eight hours
overtime, a take-home pay of $50
week, will be suddenly cut
down to $40 a week. Multiply
that shrinkage by millions of
workers and you get a picture of
the devastating effect on the ma
tons purchasing power"
Buying Power Needed
Philip Murray, president of the
CIO, asserts: IF good times are
to follow this war, the people of
the country must have the pur-
chasing power to buy the goods
our industries turn out. As extra
income from overtime disappears,
the farmer, store keeper, and the
whole community feels the dip in
living standards s 49,.
Green and MuTray4use this pros
pectiye cut in purchasing power
as a basis for their demands for
immediate action along two lines.
These are: (a) Government APP
proval of higher wage rates, and
(b) Rapid and orderly resumption
of peace goods production.
To those who fear that prices
will be forced upward along with
wages, thus inviting initiation, un-
ion officials say: increasingly deep
cutbacks in war production will
tend to cause deflation. The in
creased productivity of individ-
ual workers and new mass pro-
duction techniques, developed
during the war, will reduce labor
costs even with high wage rates
and permit lower prices.
From the long range viewpoint,
organized labor has four major
postwar detectives:
l. Maintaining employment at
the $4,000, 000-job goal.
2. Keeping wage rates at high
levels. :,
3. Preventing reduction in un-
ion membership.
4. Fighting federal and state
"anti-union" legislation.
