and SIS per cent since last August
the month the war ended. when
Democratic strength was at a high
point of SO per cent.
The greatest losses for the
Democrats have been registered in
two ~occupational groups, when to-
days poll results are compared
with November, 1914. Those groups
are the farmers and the white
collar workers.
In fact, today's findings show
a majority of white collar work
ers f%avoring a Republican Party
victory if a presidential election
were being held today. In the
last presidential election, a ma
jority of white collar workers vot-
ed for Roosevelt.

Straight Equal Rights Law Opposed By Labor,
 Liberals

NEW YORK-(FP)-To rectify the status of women in the U.S., : campaign for an "equal rights plus amendment to the constitution is being launched here by the Congress o+ American Women.
 The amendment is intended moi only to give women equal social political and economic rights with men, but also to safeguard legisla' ton which provides special protec' ton for women as mothers and workers.
 Trade unions and progressive or ganizations have consistently criti- cized efforts by women's groups to se- cure an "equal rights amendment which failed to provide for continued legislation for women. The new pro- posal is seen as avoiding that pitfall
 Susan B. Anthony, head of the Women's Status Commission of the Congress, declared that Gin the 4S states and territories there exist some thousand discriminatory laws against women which can be in. voked at any time to push women back into 18th century chattel- dom."
 The "equal rights plus" amendment, she said, is the only way to secure uniform protection of women's rights.

Scandal Brewing
 In War Schools

CINCINNATI - The 18th annual convention of the Inter national Photo-Engravers' Union opened here with a bang last week when officers of that group Tn their report denounced shameful racketeering by some trade schools offering training in photo-engraving under the GI Bill of Rights
 However the report added, the unions protests and appeals to the U. s. Government, thus far, ''have been in vain.S
 Edward J. Velz, New York City, IPEU president, said, "War veterans enrolling in such schools are, in the first place, wasting their time because, even after a 10 to 26-weeks training period in these so-called schools, a man, to enter the photo-engraving craft in a commercial house, must be- come an apprentice in on-the-job training with regular union men. In other words, he would be trained all over again, anyway"
 President Volz declared these Grade schools" apparently have received the approval of federal and state agencies. 'The agencies certify these spurious schools as qualified and eligible to receive tui- ton fees provided by the govern ment under the CT Bill of Rights and Public Law l6, without inves- tigation as to their facilities, the practicability of training courses provided, or the possibility of placement of veterans in employ ment after completion of courses.
 "The IPEU always has protested : to the government against these schools as just another means of pro ducing potential counterfeiters The FBI has said that 9596 of the counter feiters in this country are young peo- pie inadequately trained in photo en- graving. They get such training in these schools. The union does not recognize any of these schools and will grant no time credits toward a journeyman's rating for experience gained in them.

 The referee recommended that all contract markets be ordered to refuse trading privileges for one year to General Foods and that four members of the Chicago Stock Exchange who assisted in the manipulation be sus- pended from trading for 60 days Mere slaps on the wrist!
