portation over the areas of the world.
 The Coast Guard operates an extensive system of loran stations for the protection of overseas transportation, and has long pro- mulgated suggested specifications for radar equipment. Research re- lating to electronic navigational aids for use by navigators was un- dertaken by the Coast Guard as a natural function because its tra- ditional duties are saving lives and property at sea, maintaining aids to navigation, and merchant marine inspection.
 In 'Electronic Navigational Aids it is believed the non-technical treatment of the subject presents sufficient facts for determining the benefits to be derived in ap- plying this type of equipment to the safeguarding of life and prop erty at sea.
 Copies are now being sent to all commercial transportation com panies in the Territory of Alaska Others interested in receiving this booklet should address their re- quests to Public Information Sec ton, District Coast Guard Office, Ketchikan, Alaska.

Little Woman Smokes Up New Record

 But two packs a day? Please.
 Mother Machree!
 It's Nom who's doing the heavy smoking these days in the U. s. A. She not only buys but also smokes 68 per cent of all cigarettes sold.
 These figures are revealed by a nationwide survey just completed by the research department of the Fleming-Hall Tobacco Company, New York cigarette manufactur- CTS.
 The survey further reveals that 76 per cent of women smokers smoke a pack day and that GA per cent are married women.
 Its findings established first that 69 per cent of all cigarettes were being purchased by women, but at that time it was assumed that many were buying cigarettes for their husbands. So 25,00O women were questioned as they entered or left retail tobacco stores, and their answers showed that 99 per cent of them were buying cigarettes for themselves and only 1 per cent were buying for someone else.
 These figures contrast striking ly with the findings of IS years ago, when it was estimated that women smoked only 10 per cent of the cigarettes sold, and ten years ago, when they accounted for 40 per cent of the nations cigarette smoking.

AFL In Session At Miami Urges
Cooling Off Period For Congress

Miami-QLNS). = In a blast at
President Truman's legislature propo-
sails for cooling off periods, fact-find-
ing boards and other machinery and
all other proposals for limiting the
freedom of union in collective bargain
ing, the American Federation of Labor
executive council warned Congress
that "anti-labor legislation is also
anti-American legislation"
Anti-labor legislation, the council
further declared, would punish most
severely the workers and trade unions
that have bargained peacefully with
employers and refrained from strikes.
1t would not only hurt labor, but the
entire nation"
The council, opening it's winter
session here, made clear it's position
on the present drive in Congress to
curb the right to strike, in a formal
statement by AFL President Green.
When asked if its statement was in
tended as a criticism of President
Truman, Green replied:
"No it is not intended that way.
He. is sincere in what he is trying to
do, but like many sincere men he is
getting wrong information and wrong
advice"
Green voiced the councils concern
that AFL unions might find them
selves hampered by restrictive legis-
lation passed as a result OF CIOl

President Trumun,
Labor Win Round

Washington, d. C.-QLNS)-Presi-
dent Truman and organized labor have
won a round in their fight to delay
return to the U. S. Employment Ser
vice to state control and operation.
By a vote of 13 to 3, the House
Labor Committee approved bill pro-
viding that transfer of the USES
from federal to state control be held
up until July l, 1947.
President Truman in late December
vetoed bill cutting back appropria-
tions and spending authorizations by
more than $4,000, 100000, because
Congress tackled on a clause calling
for transfer of the employment serv-
ice to state jurisdiction within 100
days.
The President backed labor's con-
tention that federal control of the
service was essential while workers
were transferring from war to peace
production. The federal government
took over the service as a war meas
ure.
The bill approved by the labor COM
mittee now goes to the House floor,
where members expect hot battle
on a proposal of Representative Dirk
sen, of Illinois, that control be given
back to the states in 80 days.

Penalty Assessed
By Local ia For
Non-Affendunce

Local Union 124 again found it
necessary to fine the kilnhand COM
mittee from T. S. & T. for non-atten-
dance. The rule still stands that un-
less a representative of any respec-
tive committee attends at least one
meeting a month, the personnel of the
entire committee will be subject to a
fine. This makes the third offense FOR
this committee and they should realize
that the Local means business.
There was quite lengthy discussion
regarding the decal situation. 1t seems
that whenever this subject is brought
upon the floor, everybody in atten-
dance takes the floor to denounce the
present set up. We think the time is
at hand that just and fair settle
ment is reached before it comes to the
danger stage. 1t takes little intelli-
gence to realize that the minimum
rate as now in effect, falls far below
the standard Of pay for any skilled
tradesmen.
We were glad to hear that a bad
condition in the print room at the
Salem China plant has been cleared
up and feel the same improvement
should be made for all these under
paid workers.

lam Chief Takes Exception To View
Of Disagreement With AFL Council

Washington, D. C. = (ILNS). -
Statements of President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor at Miami in regard to the diff
ferences between the AFL and the In
ternational Association of Machinists
were called "a somewhat tainted re-
port of the situation" by Harvey w.
Brown, international president of the
lam.
President Brown, on his return to
Washington from Miami where the
AFL executive council has just ruled
vacant his seat on the council, said,
"The issue of leaving the AFL' re-
ferred to by President Green, is not
one of the Machinists' Unions own
choosing. 1t is the choice of the AFL
council"
He said that the lam would "con-
tinue to respect the jurisdiction of and
cooperate with those unions that re-
spect our jurisdiction.
"The issue which the lam has act
ed on, and the one adopted by the
Machinists' convention, with very few
dissenting votes, was whether the Ma
c!hlnists'' Union would fight to protect
Its members and its trade. This con-
vention action is being voted on this
month by the 100000 members OF the
union. And present indications are
tnat the membership by an over
whelming majority will concur in the

recommendation of the convention y
Brown said.
"The mere fact that there may be a
small number opposing the lam con-
vention recommendation, in a demo-
cratic organization, does not justify
the statement of Mr.. Green that our
union is divided on this question.
"The statement credited to Presi-
dent Green that it was the decision
of Harvey w. Brown to break away
from the AFL' is untrue.
"The executive council of the lam
in November, 1914, by unanimous
vote, decided to defer AFL per capita
payments until the AFL executive
council gave assurance that the Ma
chinists' Union henceforth would re-
ceive the same assistance and cooper
alton given all other AFL unions. The
Machinists' convention last November
by an overwhelming majority con-
CURED in the recommendation of the
lam council.
"All of this was reported officially
to President Green and the AFL.
ITO say the least" Brown asserted,
1T is surprising that President Green
would refer to the actions of the lam
executive council and its convention
as the decision of Harvey w. Brown.

membership did vote to leave the

Union Blocks
Power Deal By
Strike Threut

New York-(FP).-A proposed deal
between the city of New York and the
Consolidated Edison Co., which would
have cost the people SO million a year
was successfully blocked Jan. 81 by
the Transport Workers Union as the
nations largest city was preparing
for city wide transit strike.
A strike of $4,000 transit workers,
which would have tied up all subway,
bus and elevated lines in the metro
politan area. had been threatened by
the union to prevent the Board of
Transportation from carrying out its
proposal to sell the city-owned power
plants to Consolidated Edison.
Sale of the lpants to the utility
company would have cost the people
of New York SO million year in ad-
ditional power charges to operate sub
way lines, the union said. 1t would
also jeopardize the jobs of 1,500 TWU
members at the most strategic point
in the city's transport system. Secon-
dary issue in the strike threat was the
unions demand for a So daily wage
increase and union contract contain
ing maintenance of membership provi-
sions.
The strike was called off just be-
fore the deadline was to be announced
when the union won a guarantee from
Mayor William O'Dwyer that the
plants would not be sold without
referendum Of the people. The mayor,
who was elected on a Democratic
American Labor party coalition ticket
last November, also assured the union
that the Board of Transportation will
negotiate the wage issues "by the
instructions"

Wheeling, w. Va.-Having reach
ed that age that renders us immune
from a penalty for attendance,
we do not endeavor to scale the AL
pine Heights that lead to the meet
ing place of l.. U. No. 6. However,
we happened to listen to some COM

did attend the last session. She was
very loud in her condemnation of
those males whose "overstimulation"
caused them to expel an over abun-
dance of vociferosity, much to the
disgust of those who had the hard
luck to be innocent bysitters. We do
not mean to attempt a prohibition
or temperance lecture, but we would
suggest that nothing will create such
lack of interest in union sessions
as will the fear of having to listen

member who is carrying an over

such legislation, passed at this time,
would create widespread discomfort
and perhaps increase strikes. The
statement added:
Congress needs a cooling-off pc
rod right now much more urgently
than labor. At this moment, our law
makers are faced with consideration
of some 160 bills aimed at impairing
or restricting the nations workers

"The difficulties of making an in

Gated and catch-as-catch-can pro-
posals are further aggravated by the
clamor and pressure for hasty action

The council sent telegram to the
