The Jenkins letter was re-
ceived by the Maryland and
Arizona lawmakers while they
were considering busting
bills. The proposed Maryland
law is the worst of its kind in
U. S. history, according to La
Dor Department officials. 1t

make arbitration of labor dis

secondary boycotts and picket

Employees
The Christian American AS
sociation," for which jenkins is
an unofficial spokesman, re-
presents the worst of the South's
sweatshop employers and anti
union industrialists. 1t boasts of
anti-labor lobbies in many
Southern states.
The Florida law, opposed by
all branches of organized labor,
is now before the U. S. Supreme
Court for a determination of its
constitutionality.
The christian American"
campaign received a major set
back last week when the lower
house of the Georgia legislature
voted unanimous consent to
withdrawal of the same sort of
freedom to work" bill that was
passed in Florida.
Unions suffered a serious set
back in South Dakota, however,
when the state legislature last
week adopted, and Gov. M. @.
Sharpe signed, bill outlawing
the union shop. Anti-labor bills
of this sort are also pending in
Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota,
Massachusetts,, New Mexico, and
other states.

Board was also asked by the
union, at the same time
TWUA President Emil Rieve
sent in his resignation as an al
ternate member.
Basis of the TWUA dissatis-
faction with government wage
controls was their knowledge of
the enormous profits being
made by mill owners, whose
lobbyists in Washington have so
far been successful in blocking
any pay raises for textile work
ers.
While the WLB last week
finally handed down a decision
in the textile workers case, no
actual money settlement can be
made until it is approved By
Economic Stabilizer Vinson.
Writes To FDR
In a letter to President Roose-
velt submitting his resignation,
Rieve declared that "events of
the last six months. have left
me with only a shadow of hope
that the National War Labor
Board can continue to be an
effective instrument for realiz-
ing it's original purposes"
SIN my opinion the WLB has
become little more than a hol-
low echo of the opinions and
authority of other federal agents
and agencies" he said.

Purpose of the letters, which
quote the Florida law in de-
tail, is to influence passage of
similar legislation in other
states.
Every member of the Mary
land legislature received one of
the letters signed by Florida
State Rep Joseph c. Jenkins
and written on the official sta
tionery of the Florida House of
Representatives. Members of the
Arizona legislature received the
same letter.
Letter Not Requested
No member of the Maryland
legislature asked Jenkins for
the letter or a copy of the Flo
ylda law, it was ascertained by
Maryland labor leaders. Because
of the simultaneous appearance
of the Jenkins letter in Mary
land and Arizona, union groups
suspect that it is part of ma

Million Wounded Flown
To Safety by Air Forces

Observation-Disclosures air forces

battle areas more than a million
wounded or sick American and AL
lied soldiers since the early days Of
the war.
The AAF said nearly 100 per cent
of the battle casualties east of the

were brought out by aircraft. More
than 100000 patients were evacuat-
ed from forward to rear areas by
air in the period between D-Day and
ME- Day.
The period covered by the report
starts with the last four months in
1912 when mass air evacuation was

Farmer Takes Wife Early,
Census Survey Discloses

WASHINGTON. -Southerners and
farmers marry younger than North
erners and city folks, the Census
bureau said without trying to explain
why.
The Census bureau arrived at
these facts in study of the median
of marriage ages. The study also
revealed that:
''For a young girl who intends to
marry, the chances are even that she
will do so, if at all, before she is 81
years and seven months DID,"
This was indicated, the bureau
said, by the fact that the median age
of women who marry is 21.6 years
at their first marriage, that is. The
median age for men is "a years and
three months.
For Southern men and women the
median ages work out at 1873, male,
and 2O.7 female, while in the North
Central states they are 24.5 and 21.8.
On farms the medians are 24.3,
men, and 81, women, as compared
with 24.7 and 21.9 in cities.

French Artists Work Amid Turmoil;
Shows Another Triumph in Skill

XVIII and Charles x, then the Ro-
mantle period of Louis Philippe,
then Louis Napoleon, then the Third
Republic. With, of course, several
wars tossed in for good measure.
Oh, there was enough turmoil to
have stopped the artists of any
country but France.
But instead of being stopped, the
weavers of Aubusson, a town about
200 miles south of France, not only
kept on with their weaving, but con-
tinued to follow the changes Of
fashion. During the early years Of
the century their designs reflected
the formal but restrained geometri-
cal mood of the Directoire fashions
but retaining more or less the soft
colorings OF the previous period. But
with the empire, the ground tones
became darker with many deep
green's and olive greens, and the de-
signs were in wine reds, plum,
strong yellows the motifs big
ger and bo1der in scale. The Res
toration was reflected in Aubusson
rugs by the use of scattered and
punched flowers, mile fours pat
tern on brownish ground; wreaths
and small rosettes in squares were
also used. Then followed the ornate
elegance of the latter part of the
century.
