Bible School Teachers
Advised To Study Trade
Union Ide ais

New York City (ILNS).-"Teach-
ers in Bible school as in the public
school should know the real role of
trade unions as an egency for COM
munity welfare in modern society,""
Mark Starr, educational director of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union told the Spring Train
ing School for Vocation Church School
Workers and Teachers, at the S. Parkes
Cadman Memorial Center, Brooklyn.
"In their aim to relate religion to
the problem of living" Starr said,
teachers need to know the Industrial
relationships which will govern the
working lives Of most of their pupils.
Unions and collective bargaining are
here to stay. The ideals of religion and
labor are closely related in many ways
and particularly in their emphasis
upon the need for unity above and be-
yond differences of race and color"
"It is well," continued Starr, ''that
virtue is it's own reward because it
has little gossip value. This seems par
ticularly true in the case of trade
unions; only their vices normally get
publicity"
The 100 teachers and ministers ask
ed many questions, and were given
pamphlets and reading lists for fur
ther study of the union movement.

Church Council Asks
Sacrifices OF Food

New York City (ILNS).-The Fed
eral Council of Churches Of Christ
in America, emphasizing the necessity
Of providing food for the starving
peoples of war-devastated Europe, has
called upon the American people "to
make clear their willingness to accept
continued rationing and further sacri-
fices that millions may live."
In resolution adopted by the coun-
cil's executive committee, it was
pointed out that conditions in some of
the liberated countries are now re-
ported to be considerably worse than
during the period of German occupa-
tion.
"The Christian obligation is Clear"
the statement said. "We should pro-
vide an example of voluntary sacrifice
at time when many are unthinkingly
preparing for expanded personal ex-
penditures for food and other items.
First, we in the churches need to
avoid the waste of food in our own
homes. Secondly, we ought to help in
every way possible to increase the pro-
duction of food during this critical
season Thirdly, for the period just
ahead, we ought to deny ourselves
part Of the protective foods available
but in short supply, particularly
meats, fats and milk products, and
use to larger degree the more abun,
dant foods"

grown in growing beds about IL inches
deep and from three to four feet wide.
They may be any length up to 100
feet. They are filled with sterile
gravel.
The chemicals which produce growth
are mixed in water and this solution
is flowed into the growing beds about
three times day. AS soon as the in
flow is completed the solution is i'm
mediately drained out. Thus the roots
are in damp gravel.
What's in the chemical formula
Well, the chemists say that all Of the
elements needed for plant growth are
included.
Of course there is evaporation and
there is absorption by the plant
growth, so replacement is required.
Not only is there an Army operation
in Coral Gables; just few miles away
there is privately owned chemical
farm, devoted mainly to tomatoes,
cucumbers and peppers.
A chemical farm is known as a
hydroponicum and the science of chem
ical growing is known as hydroponics.
We may be hearing these words a
great deal soon.
There is a great deal being done now
to bring hydroponics into the realm Of
simplicity necessary for operation by
persons who know little or nothing
about either chemistry or agriculture
to get it down to an A B C stage.
OF course under Army auspices
there are flocks of chemists and vari.
GUS kinds of plant experts on hand
just as there is elaborate laboratory
equipment.

Of industries, was bolstered anew by
an important Supreme Court decision.

Chemical growing is possible where
soil growth is impossible because Of

News Week, in a very recent issue,
describes chemical farming opera
tion on Ascension Island, probably
arousing thereby great deal of curl
osity all over the country.
Well, let's have it and arouse some
more.
News Week needn't have gone SO
far afield to find working examples
of this amazing method of crop cul-
ture.
The example described by News
Week is an Army operation. What
News Week did not say is that this
is but one of some eighteen examples
of successful chemical growing under
Army auspices.
The first operation was launched
at the Army Air Force Regional Hos.

Dan Ogle was in command. 1t was in.

fers from the first method.
In these chemical farming opera
tions no soil is used. The crops ART

1T WON'T WORK

That an overwhelming majority of
the American people and their Repre-
sentatives in Congress are opposed
to tax on the right to vote is grant
ed.
Dissension as to the proper method
of abolishing the poll tax remains the
only real point of conflict, and sue
cessfully plays the game of the small
clique still rabidly opposed to restor-
ing free suffrage in the South.
1t seems obvious that the simplest,
fastest way to abolish the poll tax as
a condition of voting is to pass H. R. z,
conversely, it seems unfortunate that
Senator O'Mahoney, sincere believ-
er in full free suffrage, should confuse
the issue just now by introduction of a
constitutional amendment
The arguments can be disposed of

Infra-red ray auto headlights, which
permitted easy blackout driving and
may prove the solution of the prob
lem of peacetime glare, were develop
ed by German scientists just as the
war ended, it is reported from Ger
many. The device consists of filter
that blocks off glaring light, allowing
only the infra-red to pass through. A
converter just in front of the drivers
head enables him to see the infra-red
rays as ordinary white light. The driv-
er thus can see the road ahead clear
ly without binding oncoming cars OF

Health Centers For Greece

Sites for 22 health centers have been
selected in rural areas in Greece and
construction work will be started at
an early date by the Greek War Re-
lief Association, says report to MI.
J. Walter Wack, from the National
War Fund.
Local communities donated the sites
for the health centers which are urg-
entity needed to serve the rural popu-
lation whose health is matter of vital
concern, said the report. In an effort
to check the spread of disease, SO out
patient clinics are maintained by the
Greek War Relief Association, while
six mobile clinics, each currently aver
aging 1,050 patients per month, are
serving large numbers of Greeks bad
ly in need of medical attention other

Work of Greek War Relief Associa-
ton is financed by the National War
Fund through contributions to the

swiftly by facing the facts:
(D Constitutional powers of the
Congress are more than ample to deal
with the poll tax without an amend
ment.
(2) 1t is just as easy for the Senate
to filibuster against proposed amend

ment is an invitation to battle in the
House.
(3) Analysis of action by state legis-
latures on the child labor amendment
shows that, even if an amendment
could be voted out of the Senate by
cloture a filibuster by state legisla-
lures, against which no cloture can be
invoked, could effectively prevent rat
ification by the required SO states.

AFL Unions Actively
Aid Veterans Survey
By FederatiOnist Shows

Washington, D. C.-AFL groups in
many cities are performing notable
services for returning war veterans,
according to a survey published in the
current isesue of the American FEEDER
ationist.
The survey gave honorable men,
tion to the st. Paul Trades and Labor
Assembly, which has established a
Veterans Service Center on the first
floor Of it's labor temple under the
direction of William LOBBY, of the
Sheet Metal Workers Union, who
served in the first World War and is
a member Of both the American Lee
gion and the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars.
At the center veterans are given
information as to their legal rights
under veterans legislation, where to
look for a job, how to get apprentice
ship training, how to obtain loans,
where to build home and what union
to join, If they wish to do SO.

Where Is The Fault?

1t is said a thing agitated hard
enough and long enough, it can be
brought about. Already people are
talking of the next war Other coun-
tries have surely had enough, as we
have. So the people throughout the
world should declare-there will be no
more war and mean just that. "Our
Public Servants" (now laugh) longness
and other U. S. A. Servants" demand
more salary, that they may stop in
flation and strike workers from want
ing more wages, and sugar up the
farmers little so they will go to the
polls and vote to keep themselves Sc
cure in office
The "War Lords" want to hold the
whip hand" and dictate to civilians

young men to be taught tactics of war

LIMITING JOB PLACEMENTS


Labor is rightly dissatisfied with
the Senate action in returning joE
placement offices of the u S. EN-
ployment Service to the 4S states, ano
will try to get the House to reject the
amendment to the unemployment COM
pensation bill
Labor points out that only ma
tional service could have handled the
employment problems of the war;
state services would have imposed i'm
possible barriers to placement of
workers all over the nation, as need
ed.
During the reconversion period, en-
ployment problems will be as much
national as state, requiring national
rather than state functioning. Workers
will soon actively resent limitation of
job opportunities within state lines,
regard it as smacking too much Of
peonage, labor spokesmen say 1t is
probable that employers will also re-
sent being limited to state labor
market for workers.
AS long as the unemployment COM
pensation bill remains deadlocked in
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee, its status at this writing, the U.
S. Employment Service will continue
functioning on national scale. But if
the bill comes before the House, there
is danger that the job offices will be
returned to the states by the votes of

The Federationist article points
out that the AFL called upon all its
local affiliates to set up special COM
mittees to help veterans find employ
ment- and that the AFL's Labor
League for Human Rights also has
advised AFL affiliates to become ac-
tive in community projects for vet
Grams. The survey conducted by the
AFL magazine disclosed commend
able activities in the following cities:
Boston-Two AFL representatives
take an active part in job counseling
at the Veterans Center.
Buffalo-The Veterans Information
Center is governed by citizens COM
mittee. The advice and cooperation of
the AFL are solicited. All inquiries
from veterans concerning AFL unions
are referred to the Buffalo Federation
of Labor or the appropriate local
union. An AFL committee arranged a
conference to set up a program Of ap-
premiership training for veterans.
Los Angeles-The AFL helps to
bear the financial cost of the city's
Veterans Center. During July the
AFL Employment Standardization
Section successfully handled 4S5 re-
ferrals.
Portland, Oregon-The Portland
Central Labor Council has spent $4,000
to furnish one floor of the new vet
erans' club, known as the George
White Center. The Machinists Union
presents each new member from the
armed forces with set of tools.
Seattle-AFL unions are active in
all veterans projects. An AFL mem
ber heads the city's Veterans Refer
raj Center.
Aurora, Illinois-The AFL is fully
represented on the city's Council on
Veterans Affairs.
Columbus, Ohio-The AFL cooper
ated in setting up the Veterans Serv-
ice Center and an AFL representa-
tive is serving on the center's advis-
ory committee.

A promising organization, "United

in New York with APPOINT program
to educate American boys and girls
from IL to Is years of age to take
leadership in shaping world affairs.

now this country shows no great in

power and resources behind the world
organization.
