BILL MENACES
RIGHTS OF LABOR
By R O S.

EN hAtO4N d
on Labor Day 1914, labor's rights were
seriously threatened by the drive to enact
labor draft legislation. Now, Labor Day
1915, the labor draft bill is dead, and in
its place, to destroy the trade unions,
the enemies of labor are pushing the
Ball-Burton-Hatch Industrial Relations
bill, which would emasculate the Nation
al Labor Relations Act and sharply limit
THE right to strike.
Just as the labor draft was defeated. so
will the B2H bill, for there are large
groups of professional and middle class
people who oppose it as they opposed
the Austin Wadsworth bill.
Now, the existence of large numbers
of unemployed workers, not labor short
ages, will be used by forces of special
privilege to weaken organized labor. Thus
it is a major task of the labor movement
to educate its members and its friends
to the need for achieving full employ
ment now
Major labor's rights victory in the
courts this year was the U. S. Supreme
Courts decision in the Hill VS.. Florida
case that a state cannot limit the right
of a union to organize and carry on col
lective bargaining activities.
But Florida was also involved in serl-
Gus violations of labors rights, in Brow
ard and Lake Counties where Negro
workers, falsely arrested for vagrancy in
an attempt to force them into inyolun-
tary servitude, secured the aid of the
Workers Defense League in pressing for
federal indictments of the local sheriffs.

IL AoAAAoA ApobAAes
Though labor draft bills died, 5000
religious DIRECTORS to war suffered a
form of labor draft in scores of Civilian
Public Service Camps, where they had
to work at jobs often both difficult ans
dangerous, without pay despite the
that there is nothing in the Selective
Service Act preventing the Selective
Service Administration from paying them
minimum Army wages. This would pre-
vent suffering among dependents of con-
seientious DIRECTORS in these camps, who
have obeyed their consciences and the
law.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 16 = When a husband and wife, who can't be too flush financially, reject jobs which would pay them several thou sands of dollars a week, they must have an all-compelling reason.
 I'm thinking about Madeleine Car roll and Stirling Hayden. When they chucked their screen careers over board, shortly after their marriage she to devote full time to Red Cross work and he to enter the service and eventually distinguish himself in combat-Hollywood refused to believe their statements that they were through with pictures. They'll be back when the war is over" stu dio bosses said, and insisted on keeping their names on the contract list. But the war is over now, and it's quite obvious that Miss Carroll and Hayden meant what they said.
 During the past few weeks, there has been conjecture in the Film vile press about their motives. But no one has suggested the explana- ton that is most plausible. l believe that they were smart enough to see through the glitter and tinsel that gives Hollywood it's false glamour. I believe that, looking about them, they suddenly realized how nervous, dissatisfied and unhappy most of their fellow celebrities were. And I believe that they decided that no amount of money could justify ex- posture to ailments so epidemic in their nature.
 How else can you explain the fact that they changed their family name in an effort to hide their iden- tity as former starsP

No de- cisive verdict was reached, and l suppose none ever will be on so con- troversial a question. But Miss Sales contentious, it seems to me, are well supported by evidence open to all Hollywood. don't happen to know her two children, but defy anyone to show me better behaved young sters than Shirley Temple, Jane Withers and Freddie Bartholomew were during their reigns as kid stars, or than Margaret O'Brien, Elizabeth Taylor and Butch" Jenkins are to- day.

That being the case, l946 should be Barbara Stanwyck's year to harvest an Oscar for her mantle piece.

--BEAUTIES' HINTS Tailor GirdIe

Giving way to strain after @ few wearings is all too familiar prac- tice of girdles. But there are ways to keep stretchy fabric and sup porting bones" at work on the job.
 Here's how: Take up surplus flare with seamings as fast as loopiness appears. Or have your corsetier do this for you. Have slide fasteners or taped hooks and eyes taken out from time to time and sewed back in again for snugger it.
 If up-and-down bonings, which hold a girdle up from the waist to the diaphragm, develop curves of their own, rip or slide them out and sew in new ones on the diagonal. The improved slanting line keeps a high top-girdle up without warp ing these braces-or stabbing you as you bend or sit.
