politesse and even the cocktails
could not hide the grim facts that
the present labor lull Is illusory and
the battle will soon again be joined.
Bright Star Of Research.
With the example OF the fierce
reaction produced by the coal strike
call before them, CIO hired the re-
putable firn OF Robert r. Nathan
Associates, Inc, to analyze the eco
nomic aspects Of their program.
Nathan Associates, which has many
important business clients, gave the
luncheon. Mr. Nathan himself, the
bright star of research and planning
in the War Production Board. took
pointer In hand and explained the
findings for one hour.
Highly satisfactory to CIO, these
included assertions that the drop
In the purchasing power Of wages
due to high prices Is endangeringI
the country's economy and that
wages can be further increased with
out raising prices. It was further
charged that the last round Of wages
could have been absorbed without
raising prices. Mr.. Nathan cited
impressive statistics with q mimi
mum of economists gobbledygook
but the type OF controversy the re-
port will arouse instantly was ap-
parent. An economist from the
other side Of the street was the
first person on his feet with q chAl-
lenge.
President Murray declined to say
how much the Nathan report cost
the CIO. He said they were Offering
1t to the bar Of public opinion as
q basis for discussion which they
hoped would be far-fiung.
Firm Takes Responsibility.
Other CIo spokesmen pointed to-
the good repute Of the Nathan arm
and said they expected the Nathan
findings to get an attention which
would be denied the assertion of
strictly labor economists. They said
they we're especially hopeful that
members of Congress would examine
the report before forming an opinion
on labor's new demands.
An interesting aspect Of the new
technique Is that Nathan Associates
took all the responsibility; II any
errors develop, they ares theirs, not
CLOS.
The Murray leadership Of CIO,
which is the right wing, win be
tested In the ensuing con-
test with industry. The Communists,
with tongue In cheek, gave way ut
the recent convention 50 that CIO,
cieansed Of Red influence. might
present q united front In the cam
paign. No one. least OF all Mr..
Murray. doubts that only continued
success viii keep the Communists in
check.

Let the Bell Telephone Co. use

A party was going on In California.
Typical Conversation.
It might have been going on any
where, because the conversation was
typical:
Hello, Henry. you OF skunk.
Whatcha doing? Asleep? Man,
we're having the best party you ever
saw In your life. Wish you were
here. Wantcha to meet some of my
friends. Come over here, Alma. This
is Henry. You've heard me speak of
him. Great guy, greatest guy I ever
knew"
Alma speaks. Hey. Henry. I've
heard what's-inis-name talk about
you. Where do you live? Here's Ed.
He wants to speak to you"
Ed speaks. Hello, there Harry.
Any friend Of Macs friend Of mine.
Here's my wife You remember
Kitty. Sweetest thing you ever saw.
Come here, Kitty, and talk to Harry.
Oh, come on. Kitty, you remember
Harry. Hold on, Harry, she'll be
here in minute. Why don't you
come up and see us, boy? can't
find my wife. Harry, but here's
Minnie. You don't know Minnie
but you oughta. One Of the sweetest
girls who ever lived"
All this time, half awake, you are
trying to lift yourself to the gayety
OF the party at the other end, but
you can't no matter how hard you
try. They sound just the way they
are, and you sound just the way you
are-sleepy. I could only say
"What?" Yeah" "Uh-huh." They

Ladies' Garment Workers.
How far apart workers and en-
ployers are and how serious the
struggle may become is indicated
by the case of the auto workers.
The latter are preparing to ask for
d wage increase of ''23 cents plus"
the plus relating to changes in social
security and pension percentages.
This would mean total increase
estimated at between IS and 30
cents an hour.
Again the Old Dispute.
Taking note of reports to this ef-
feet, Charles E. Wilson, president of
General Motors, has announced that
any wage increase would result In
an equal price increase. If wages
go up IS per cent, he said, the price
of cars will 60 up rs per cent. The
cost of an automobile, he said, Is
practically all wages and salary.
Needless to say, the auto workers
will base their demands on the in
creased cost of living The garment
workers, first to make their exact
demands known. have taken that
ground in negotiations opened this
week with manufacturers in the
New York area, where $4,000 are
employed. They say 20 per cent
increase in wages is required to-
meet a similar increase in the cost
Of living.
So this winter we will hear again
the old dispute-and it's not likely
to be merely an academic dispute
over which is the devil in the ma
chine, prices or wages.
An indication of the line to be
taken by the labor organizations
was given yesterday at luncheon
in Washington. Robert r. Nathan,
who enjoyed considerable esteem
for some years as q New Deal econ
omist and who Is now practicing his
profession privately, reported on q
study he had undertaken for the
CIO. His report supports certain
contentious of the CIO, although
he declared. in effect, that he Of
fered 1t only as an economist, not
rs a special pleader for his client.
Some Findings.
Some of Mr.. Nathan's findings:
"On an after-taxes basis, corpo-
rate profits are approaching $15,-
900 ,000, 900, fully one and half
times the level of the best war year.
Corporate profits after taxes are
now about three and three
fourths times as high as the average
Of the years 1936-1939."
Manufacturing corpo tions
without reducing their rate OF re-
turn on net worth below the high |
level of SO per cent earned In 1899,
could grant wage increases of an
annual value of about IS, 100 900 900, |
which represents 81 per cent Of the
wages of all production workers.
After granting such increases, man
ufacturing corporations would still
earn about twice the average 81, ,500,-
100000 profits earned in 1936-193s
and almost as much as they earned
ut the war peak"
The facts all lead to the con-
clusion that not only from the
workers point of view, but also for
the benefit of the whole economy,
further wage increase, without a

@. What herbs can be grown In
a sunny kitchen window?-B. B.
A. Parsley, sweet marjoram, basil,
anise, coriander, mint. chtyes, thyme,
sage and tarragon.
@. Why is 1t necessary to use paper
with wood and coal in order to start
a fire?-W. s.
A. Paper reaches its kindling point
first, which means that the paper
will burn more easily than either
wood or coal. As the paper burns,
heat is evolved and in this way the
kindling temperature of wood is
reached. The wood in burning gives
off enough heat to start the coal
burning.
@. How did Bedloes Island, site

sidered to be In the Borough of

Jumbo,s keeper at the time of the
animals death. The skeleton Of the
great elephant is in the American
Museum of Natural History, New
York; his skin was used In making q

scum.
@. Why do some choral societies

While the differences between
