with its peppery dissatisfaction,

''What the heck is the matter
with girls nowadays?" asks
Paul McAllister. "My wife and
I had three-we wanted a boy,
of course, but we got three pref
ty, active girls, who grew up to
keep the place in an uproar with
their dates and their clothes
and their boy friends. There
wasn't a day for five or six years
that someone didn't want new
dress, or want to give party,
or was crying over some invita-
ton that didn't come through or
some boy who didn't like her.
"That was bad enough. Then all
three married; the little one first
and the twins at double wedding
q year later. That set me back
about five grand, but no matter
the girls were settled.
"Settled! My gosh, they don't
know the meaning of the word.
Fran, one of the twins, was mar
ried two years when she came
home with baby boy, couldn't
stand Phil a minute longer. Eight
months later Barbara landed back
on us; she has no child. We thought
she would marry again, but that
was five years ago, and she hasn't.
"Now, six years married, with
two little girls, Eleanor is home.
Well, there's some excuse there.
Her husband is lazy, doesn't make
any money, says he is tubercular
and wants to live out on the desert.

"Fran gets a hundred month
alimony and gives her mother 30.
Barbara gets 300 and says she'll go
on this way forever, partly to spite
Ross. Here we all are, mother,
father, three daughters, three small
children, and a good deal of refined
and criticizing goes on -
we're too big family, that's. the
truth. The girls cry over their mari
tai troubles, blame each other,
make up - surely this isn't the way
people ought to live, one old man
and a lot OF detached women who
don't have homes or husbands!
Eleanor has no money to spend,
and talks of a job. Barbara is pref |

was understood to mean that
management should be free to
refuse union recognition and
collective bargaining.
Warn of Depression
Other spea kers solomnly
warned that major depression
would result if further strikes
occurred or if labor demanded
another round of wage increases.
Intimately tied with the repeat
ed denunciations of labor were
denunciations of price controls.
Former u. S. Senator Arthur
Walsh, executive vice-president
of Thomas A. Edison Inc, con-
demned federal controls over
Initiation as "dead-end collectiv-
ist kids"
Speech after speech showed
a strong note of confidence that
the Republican election victory
was a mandate" for enactment
of laws to cripple labor and set
big business free from any re-
strictionS.
The unhappiest note of the
convention was struck by Presi-
dent Eugene Holman, of Stand
ard Oil of N. j. The delegates
looked askance at Holman when
he said that The oil industry
has been particularly fortunate
in its employe relations because
over the past two or three de-
cades there has developed gen.
eral willingness among employ
ers and employees to down to-
gether and find solutions to the
human problems created by
modern industry"

Turning to the Justice De-

Notice Is Filed
Notice of appeal from the con-
fvictions was promptly filed by
AFL General Counsel Joseph
Padway and bonds covering the
two fines were posted.
All sections of organized labor
denounced the verdict, with the
AFL, CIO and Railroad Brother
hoods condemning the Truman
administration resort to injunc-
tive process. The CIO announced
it would participate in the UNIV
appeal.
All labor saw the verdict as
an unprecedented threat to the
labor movement and agreed with
the declaration of Chief De-
fense Attorney Welly X. Hop
kins that the Justice Depart
ment's recommendations as to
the fines were designed "to
break the defendants politically,

HOUSES 60 UP,
SO DO COSTS

Washington (FP) Nearly $500
new residential dwelling units were
started in the Washington area dur
ing the April-Ju period, Bureau of
Labor Statistics said Sept. 10, but
their construction cost will average
$4,000.
The $4,000, BIS says, does not in
clude land and improvements, nor the
builders profit. A fourth of the
dwellings, will cost over $9,250 to
build, with another fourth under
$7,250. This breakdown is termed
fairly average for the large indus
trial areas across the country. nre4
Included in the total are 625 tenn
porary units in federal projects de-
signed to house veterans attending
universities and colleges. This type of
dwelling was assailed by ID. c. De-
partment Commander Guy c.. Nadeau
of the American Legion as creating
"a deplorable slum condition" He
cited particularly the installation of
kerosene cooking stoves in frame
houses and converted army barracks,
a condition he claimed constituted
fire hazard.

Comment On World Events

that of all European nations. The
U.S.S.R., whatever may be said about
her, views economic matters in a
practical light and may be found act
ually advocating such a union, just
as Mr.. Mofotov recently came out for
ia united Germany. :"
State control of Russian trade
probably would prevent that nation
from joining European economic
federation, Pink said. "Neither is it
likely that Britain would become q
member. But both Russia and Britain
should cooperate and make an eco-
nomic European federation possible
in their own interest" he pointed out.
Improvement of transportation fa-
cilities and methods through elimina-
tion of arbitrary boundaries and po-
litical and police restrictions is listed
as another advantage of federation.
Other phases of European life
which would be benefited by economic
union, according to Pink, are currency
and banking, distribution of water
and electric power, health programs,
insurance transactions, and increased
freedom Of the Individual in travel for
business or pleasure.

Economic federation under French
leadership is urged as the only solu-
tion to Europe's problems in an i'm
portant report issued in New York
City by Louis H. Pink, chairman of
| the Citizens Conference on Interna-
tional Economic Union, which is
working to stimulate interest in eco-
nomic cooperation and employment
among all nations as the basis of a
just and lasting peace.
The report, can economic United
States of Europe-Now," varies from
other concepts of united Europe in
that the proposed federation would be
limited in the beginning to economic
and social powers. GAS the nations
learn to work together they will be
in position to extend the limits fur
ther into political and administrative
fields as it seems desirable" the re-
port says. The American Federation
of Labor has been urging a federated
Europe for months and AFL Presi-
dent Green recently wrote in the
American Federationist that "ulti-
mate peace in Europe can come only
through a federation of sovereign
states"
Naming France as the only ma
tion in logical position to reorganize
an Economic United States of Eu-
rope, Pink says "She does not want
either Russia or Britain to dominate
the continent, nor does she want to be
a vassal of either She requires for
her own protection, peaceful and
sound Europe and wide
spread trade"
Elimination of customs barriers be-
tween the continental nations is advo-
Gated by Pink as the first and most
important step to be taken in the fed

agreement between the Netherlands,
Belgium and Luxembourg for a Gus

point
Here is the nucleus for federated

France take the leadership and join
this customs union and invite all

Austria and the German segments

lomic cooperation. Eventually all of

program is possible, says Pink. "a

Miners Waiting
For Coal Owners
To Talk Contract

Washington (FP)-If bituminous
ming of their property from the gov
eminent they can make the United
Mine Workers a contract offer, UNIV
President John l.. Lewis indicated
Sept. IL as the union opened nego-
tiations with operators for return of
the mines. obeLsfo1
eve still would like to know what
the opertors have to offer in lieu of
the existing government agreement"
Lewis said, adding that if the gov
ernment wants to retain the mines
until new contract is signed the
next move is up to the owners.
Main issues over which operators
are haggling are unionization of fore
men, the cents ton royalty for the
miners welfare fund, and the federal
mine safety code which is part of the
UMWgovernment agreement. This,
owners, contend, would boost produc-
ton costs in states where safety in
spection is not rigid.
When Interior Secretary Krug and
Lewis signed the contract ending the
2-month strike last May 80, the fore
men issue was left for NLRB deci-
sion. Later the NLRB certified
