Avoid These
Controversial
V-Mail Topics
Bv RUTH MILLETT

From now on Pm illiterate."
said tne corporal who came back
10 this country to remarry his
wife after their marriage had
broken up due to V-mail argu-
nents.
Explained the corporal who has
lost faith in the written word:
.One word led to another and the
first thing we knew we were
ouarreling by V-mail and the next
thing knew l was in the process
of becoming grass Widower by
consent -
The corporal didn't say what
subject led to the quarrels-but it
is safe to bet that either he or his
wife let one of these forbidden
topics sneak into a letter-and then
tine fireworks:
Mention of an attractive men,
Der of the opposite sex.
An account of the wonderful
time one or the other had at a
dance.
Old Arguments
Bringing up an old argument or
mentioning a subject that has
proved dangerous in the past.
Making a nasty crack about in
laws.
OVERRIDING the cheerful note,
without balancing it by an occa-
sional mention of loneliness-so
that the partner writing such let
ters seems to be a little too we'll
adjusted to living alone and ap-
pears to be enjoying his freedom.
Concern over how the other per-
son is spending his share of the
governments check.
Most of those topics are dan
gerous ones when a couple is liv-
ing together. But for husband and
wife living under the same roof
the quarrels likely to result from
them can usually be made up,
if not always forgotten.
But for a husband and wife
separated by thousands of miles,
they are pure dynamite. For while
it is easy to quarrel by V-mail,
making up by the same method is
pretty unsatisfactory.
The corporal is being little
drastic in swearing off writing en-
tirely. But any couple separated
by the war and water ought to be
as careful of what they say in
letter as they used to be of what
they said to each other before the
morning cup of coffee.

Union Is Only Chance For
 Workers, Senator Declares
Glen Taylor in Impressive Argument for Full Employment
 Says Organization Is Needed to Get Fair Break

"We will give them jobs or die in the attempt" That's the slogan Congress should nail on its mast, Senator Glen H. Taylor Dem. Idaho) declared this week, in stirring plea on the Senate floor for enactment of the "full employ ment" bill.
 Taylor, one-time singing cow boy" who later worked in a war plant and joined the Sheet Metal Workers Union, gave one of the most dramatic arguments of the week against amendments proposed on the floor to water down the bill.
 He started off by telling of his own struggles-first as cowboy actor on small town circuits. veu- ture that didn't survive for long. Then came joblessness and inabil- ity to get work of any kind in his state. He went to the West Coast and toiled in a munitions plant as a sheet metal mechanic during most of the war.
 There, too, he signed up i'm the
 union, voluntarily = because I
 realized the only chance the
 working man has to get fair
 break is by organizing"
 T know how the common people feel when they cannot get jobs" he said. q have seen the time when I would have signed up for $25 a week for the rest of my life. In such circumstances, it is not a matter of private enterprise or de- mocracy. It is a matter of life and death"
 Taylor assailed the idea that private enterprise must be glorified above the need for jobs. He cited the waste, abuses and greediness of private business during the war.
 "We all remember that Big Bus mess was the first to go on strike when the war started" he pointed out. They said they would not produce anything unless they got cost-pluS."
 Regardless of private enterprise, Congress should do whatever it takes to make jobs for everybody,

Facts for Workers

The laws ban on interference with employees in the exercise of their rights to self-organization is said to require strict neutrality, in speech as well as action, on the part of all members of the manage ment organization. The laws broad definition Of (employer) has been construed to mean anyone to whom employees have reason to look up- on as an agent or spokesman for management.
 The courts have stopped N. L.. R. B., just short of forbidding ex- presSions of opinion hostile to un- ions accompanied by any threats of acts of coercion. But where an an- ti-union statement is preceded or followed by other demonstrations of hostility to the union or unions on the part of management officials N. L. R. B. has treated the state ment as part and parcel of con- certed plan of interference and has ordered the employer to cease and deSist.
 The law itself makes no specific reference to labor espionage. But N. L. R. B. has consistently and successfully interpreted the laws general prohibition against inter- ference as embracing any attempt by management to employ labor spies or by other means keep watch on employees union activities.
 In ten years the N. L. R. B. has ordered over seven thousand em- ployers to post notices informing employees that they are free to en- gage in collective activity without interference.
 In ten years of the Wagner act employee representation plans and similar management sponsored or ganizations have largely vanished in interstate industries. In that

AFL Metal Trades Put Wage Demand Up to Navy Chiefs

A. F. of L. Metal Trades unions awaited word from the Navy De- partment this week on demand for 30 per cent wage increase to half million workers in the Gov- ernment's navy yards and military establishments.
 A strong argument for the raise was presented by a delegation from the unions at conference with Ad- miral F. G. Crisp, chief of the divi- sion of shore establishments, and his aides.
 Secretary Treasurer J. J. McEn- tee of the Metal Trades Department and President N P. Alifas of DiS- trict A, Machinists, served as spokesmen for the delegation, which also included international officials of the unions and repre- sentatives from major metal trades councils all over the country.
 McEntee and Alias cited the se- were loss in income suffered by the workers when they were cut back recently to a 4O-hour week, after toiling from 48 to 60 hours during the war. They cited, too, the ter rifle rise in living costs. as well as the fact that rates in navy yards ] lag behind wages paid for compars able jobs in private industry. Our people are finding it hard to make ends meet" Alifas said. Their hourly rates rose only about Is per cent during the war, while the cost of living mounted at least 30 per cent. In addition, they carry the burden of the 20 per cent pay roll tax.
 They are now worse off than before the war. This is not only un- fair. to the works, but it is con- trary to the expressed policy of the government to maintain high postwar national income"
 Crisp voiced sympathy with the plight of the workers and said he would take up the question with Secretary of the Navy Forrestal. The union chiefs, however, urged that, in addition. Forrestal be pre- vailed upon to lay the matter be- fore President Truman. The admiral promised reply soon to both re- quests.

Garden Hints

Home gardeners interested in early vegetable production next spring should build forcing struc- lures, such as hot beds and cold frames, before the ground freezes, says A. E. Wilkinson, vegetable specialist of the Agricultural Ex- tension Service, University of Con- necticut.
 Besides enjoying vegetables from two to six weeks before they are on the market, the gardener who employs forcing methods can raise more than one crop on the same piece of land. He also may be able to plant vegetables requiring a long growing season in locations where they would not normally mature.
 A hot bed is covered with glass, cloth or like material and is heated by the fermentation of organic ma terial, usually manure. A cold frame, used primarily to harden off, plants started in hot beds, has neither organic or artificial heat. Both should be located in protected areas, preferably with a southern exposure, and near to a large water supply, Prof. Wilkinson declares.
 A hot bed of six by three feet, the standard sash unit, or six by six feet, a two sash frame, will meet the needs of most home gard eners. One very satisfactory struc- ture is made of sash heated by electric light bulbs. Directions for this and for concrete, stone, brick or tile hot beds, are included in Bulletin 322, while information on cold frames is available in Bulle- tin 237. Both can be secured free of-charge by writing to Prof. Will kinson.

AFL Demands Substantial
Wage Rate Increases

the machinery and the manpower to
produce enough to raise living stand
ards above levels heretofore believed
possible. Our problem today is to dis
tribute purchasing power so that all
the people may receive the benefits of
our productive genius. The key to that
problem is higher wages.
"The degree of prosperity which
we shall have in this country follow
ing this war depends almost wholly
upon the degree Of success which labor
achieves in its demands for higher
wages.
"Mr. Green told newsmen that the
AFL is not stipulating any national
percentage of increase in wages but
will leave that to it's affiliated unions
which are in the best position to know
what conditions are in their own trade.
"But the American Federation of
Labor will support it's affiliated ma
tional and international unions to the
fullest extent in their efforts to Sc
cure substantial wage rate increases"
Mr.. Green said
"Until we are shown otherwise by
facts, we believe the wage increases
can be paid out of profits without
need for higher prices"
Mr.. Green said he believed affiliated
unions could obtain their demands in
most cases by collective bargaining
and other peaceful procedures.
"We are not in favor of promoting
strikes" he declared.

Executive Council Charges Wartime Promises To Labor
Were Not Kept and Insists On Action Now

Cincinnati.-In the interest of JUS
tice and national prosperity, the Ex-
ecutive Council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor demanded substantial
wage increases for the nations work
erS.
AFL President William Green de-
clared the federation will give its full
support to the efforts of all affiliated
unions to obtain higher wage rates.
He expressed the conviction that in
dustry is able to afford to pay wage
boosts of from 20 to 80 percent in
hourly rates without materially in
creasing prices.
Other news highlights developing
from the quarterly meeting of the
Executive Council included:
1. The council urged immediate re-
duction in income taxes and empha-
sized that personal exemptions should
be raised to pre-war. levels.
2. 1t expressed strong support of a
firm American foreign policy which
would assure lasting world peace by
according liberated nations the right
to freedom, democracy and independ-
ence.
3. The AFL leaders drafted pro-
posals to be submitted to the forth
coming labor-industry conference in
Washington for the establishment and
maintenance of peaceful and stable in
dustrial relations and the prevention
of strikes.
A. Unanimous endorsement was Civ
en- to the pending postwar housing
bill which would encourage nation
wide housing construction drive and
create millions of new jobs.
S. Congress was also asked in nc
uncertain terms to enact without delay
the Kilgore Unemployment Compensa-
ton Bill, the Full Employment Bill
and amendments to the Fair Labor
Standards Act lifting the minimum
wage floor to IS cents an hour i'm
mediately.
In discussing wage policy, the Ex-
ecutive Council declared that the war
time wage freeze had wiped out parity
between static wage rates and boom
ing prices, resulting at the end Of the
war in 80 percent disadvantage to
labor so far as the relation between
hourly rates Of pay and the cost OF
living were concerned.
The council added: When we enter
