Cl0akmakers Celebrate

Twenty thousand New York City cloakmakers, members of the Cloakmakers Union, oldest affiliate of the International Ladies Gar ment Workers Union, paraded from 1,200 factories to Madison Square Garden, where they celebrated the thirty-fifth anniversary of their organization, born out of the fam ous strike of 1910.
 Labor history records that it was this strike which laid the founda- ton of collective bargaining in the ladies garment industry.
 William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and David Dubinsky, president of the I.L.G.W.U.,. were the principal speakers. Harry Hopkins, now im- partial chairman of the industry, was present. Seats of honor were occupied by union veterans of the 1910 walkout.
 MT. Green said:
 After thirty-five years, employ CTS and the public have reason to thank your union for its epochal strike and your ensuing endeavors, for not only are the workers far better off but your industry and the community also have benefited.
 To-day peaceful collective bar gaining has taken the place of in- duStrial strife. Today the workers are better citizens, enjoying a far richer way of life. Today American women have more plentiful and better supply of clothing. Today the employers in the industry can reap larger profits from greatly in- creased production.
 These are in large part the con- structive results of progressive un- ion leadership, which has helped to modernize industrial methods, to eliminate the unfair competition of chiselers and to open the eyes of present-day employers to the eco- homie truth that greater profits can be gained from expended produc- tion than can be wrung from the sweat of workers in tiny shops.
 "The important lessons which you taught your employers must now be absorbed and taken to heart by industry throughout the nation"

BOwles Plays PrOfit-Hungry Business Men

Over 1000 business men who at- tended a meeting of the National Industrial Conference Board in New York this week, heard O. P. A. Administrator Chester Bowles deliver a blistering denunciation of the greedy elements in their ranks who have been trying to wreck price control.
 Bowles pointed out that organized labor, even though resentful of the fact that living costs had zoomed while wages were frozen, "solidly backed price control" He declared that from one end of the country to the other, labor has fought side by side with us to hold down the cost of living, the cost of rents and housing.
 But the records indicate that, while a few business leaders have given us vigorous support they have been far outnumbered by those who have fought tooth and nail to weaken our program Bowles de- clared.
 He warned that, if price and rent control are junked, an inflationary spree and then collapse will fol- low, with the public laying the blame for disaster squarely on the doorstep of all business"
 Why then," he demanded, do the majority of business men sit by silently, while a handful carry on campaign which is literally packed with dynamite?"
 Irony of the situation, Bowles said-and here he let the cat out of the bag-is that O. P. A. war time price ceilings, far from in- turing business, have given 1t the highest profits in all history.
 The ceilings are high enough, he said, "to guarantee each industry at least average peacetime profits. /" Our present shortage of goods in most fields actually constitutes a floor under profits" he declared.

Margaret Connors attorney from Bridgeport and almost
 winner in the campaign against Claire Luce for Congress, new member of the Connecticut Veterans Unemployment and Advisory Commission. Speaking to the Sub Radio dence Wednesday night young and vital Margaret Con- told her listeners what she hopes the Connecticut Veter Commission will be able to do for Conneccuts return inp war veterans.
The sub., 1945-10-11

Miss COnnOrS SalQ that the NOIn"S mission discovered very early in its life that what the veteran really wants is to settle down and raise a family. This Miss Connors said is, however, not as simple as 1t sounds. Tt means winding up all sorts of unfinished business like applications for disability benefits, etc, and settling the hundreds of adjustment problems that face a man or woman who has been in military service for one to five years with all kinds of tremen- dous experiences and changes. It means a job, not any job, but one that gives him 8 chance to earn living, to advance and to feel se- cure. The Commission believes that it is vitally important for the veteran to find the trade or pro- iession for which he is best suited" :"
 But although the Commission is interested in reemployment of vet erans, actual job placement is done by the United States Employment Service. Miss Connors said that the Commission had no program for creating jobs if none were available and made the following comment: "I believe personally that with the enormous reduction in available jobs beginning with V~J Day the Commission may well have to face the question of how to create new jobs or it may find the success of it's whole program in jeopardy"
 Miss Connors, who is active In the field of labor relations, knows well that the key to the success ful solution of veterans problems lies in providing enough jobs for all who want to work.
 Sound and sincere and with an insight into the needs of the conn., mon man, Miss Connors will do all in her power to see that the Con- necticut veteran gets square deal. Good luck to you, Margaret!

POLICY BEHIND
ETHIOPIAN Al M

WASHINGTON. d. C.-(NNPA)
The much-discussed but uncon-
firmed report that Ethiopia has re-
quested the United Nations Reha-
Utilization and Relief Administra-
ton TO send no Negroes to that
country with the agency's missions
of mercy, is still the subject OF
speculation.
In the opinion OF one of the
American Negroes recently re-
turned from Ethiopia after serv-
ing out most of a two-year teach
ing contract. il is altogether pos
sible that such request was made
by Ethiopia. He prefers not to be
named.
II the request was made. he
says. Il Is no doubt a reflection
of the propaganda being spread
I'm Ethiopia by the American tri-
umvirate In that country which
Is busy convincing the Philippians
with British help. that the Amer
lean Negro Is q useless fixture.
THE AMERICAN Triumvirate
which yields a tremendous infiu-
ence in the country is composed Of
J. X. Caldwell, American Minister
to Ethiopia; John Spencer, nephew
of the white woman who is chief
OF the Royal Emperor's cuisine
(who introduced lemon-pie to the
palace householdD and George
Blower, head Of the Bank of Eth
opia.
The Ethiopians. therefore, says
this commentator, are pursuing the
course from which they hope to
reap the most benefit They be-
lieve that in order to get the great

they must deal through white
