a slugfest on his home grounds and
once even carom a bottle of his

better off.
The spectacle of Miss Gardner

Martha VOLTS novel, whistle
Stop" we seem to remember, was
concerned mainly with punk
named Kenny, his sister Mary and
the strong bond that existed be-
tween them. Whether ScriptWriter
Philip Yordan was afraid of that
one or just thought the thing would
make better movie his way is not
apparent, but Mary, in the Capitols
new photoplay, becomes handy
girl of lax morals, played by Ava
, Gardner, with whom it is more
decorous for a punk impersonated
by George Raft to be in love.
Such changes as have been made
In the Wolff work have not altered it
for the worse. The general pattern
Of the action is followed and the
spirit of the original has been MAIN
tanned. In print, whistle Stop"
was a dull melodrama about some
dull and taWdry people and Mr..
Yordan and Director Leonide Mogay,
with expert assistance in that direc-
tion by Miss Gardner and Mr.. Raft,
have managed to make it equally
dull in its cinematic form.
1nlS central Ngure IN tne MIN,
this Kenny, is young man whose
best friend is his mother and whose
only other friend is a questionable
bartender. Opposed to working for
a living, he spends his time cadging
drinks in dives and playing poker
all night with such low poolroom
hangers on as will put up with him.
This pattern of life he has chosen
quite naturally leads Kenny into the
vicinity of certain temptations.
When Mary, who loves him despite
his worthlessness, casts him aside
because of it, for example, Kenny is
fair prey for the suggestion that he
do in the bartender's boss so he will
have money to keep Mary in the
style to which she has become &C
customed. Nothing comes of this,
but nothing much comes of any
thing in the picture, including an
attempt to frame Kenny with a
murder rap.
This latter bit of trickery is per-
petrated by his rival for Mary's
hand, a sort of combination gang
ster and small town tycoon who

Union contracts with the struck

contract talks the union demanded an
hourly rate of SIPS, closed shop,

the companies.

Orounized Workers
Urged To Speok
For All Of Labor

Washington, d. C. 0LNS)-"Or-
ganized labor has the responsibility
to urge improvement of conditions
for all workers whether union mem
bers or not" Secretary of Labor L..
B. Schwellenbach told the Wisconsin
State Federation of Labor at Su-
perior. He urged that labor realize
that unions take a more active role
in community life.
81 would like to reaffirm my strong
belief in free collective bargaining as
the key to sound industrial relation"
Schwelenbach said. 81 know that or
ganized labor shares this conviction.
But | wonder if union members and
union leaders cannot do more to dem
onstrate their faith and to prove that
their aims and purposes are in re-
ality the aims of purposes of all who
labor.
Essentially this is problem in
public relations but it also involves
the role of unions in community life.
And to some extent, at least, it in
wolves the attitude of unions and
union members toward broad ques-
tions of national policy. During re-
cent months all of US have seen how
these policies are linked with the wei
fare of every worker and how they
affect the process of collective bar
gaining itself.
''In short, | am suggesting that or
ganized labor which speaks for so
many millions throughout this land,
raise its voice more firmly in behalf
of other millions who are outside its
ranks. :"

Raises Approved
BY Wage Board
In 81 Shoe PIonfs

Washington, D. C. QLNS). - The
National Wage Sterilization Board
has announced approval of wage in
creases approximating cents ar
hour affecting 27,283 employees in
various plants operated by the Inter
national Shoe Co. of st. Louis. Sixty
seven plants in Missouri, Illinois,
Kentucky, New Hampshire and Ark
ansas are covered by the action. The
adjustment will bring the total post
war increases to the employees to Is
cents an hour in view of a general s.
cent-an-hour increase made last De-
cember.
Approval by the board will permit
the company to use the wage in
crease as basis of seeking an in
crease in its OPA price ceilings and
of increasing costs to the U. S. gov
ernment. The employees were repre-
sented in the application for approval
of the increase by the Boot and Shoe
Workers, the United Shoe Workers of
America, the Delmare Warehouse
Employees Organization, and the
United Construction Workers. The
increases also will be extended to
employees not members of bargain
ing units.
Among the CT plants are eight new
establishments in Missouri, Arkansas
and Kentucky.
Wage rates for these new plants
were approved originally under regu-
lations of the NWSB which require
application for approval of pay
schedules before a new plant is
placed in operation. The new plant
requirements were met when the
company extended to the recently
established operations the same wage
structure existing in its other plants
in the areas The current increases
will be added to the approved rates
at the new plants as we'll as others.

of the Wagner-E -Ellender-Taft bill.
Adoption of the declaration on
housing followed charges by trade
building trades union officials who de-
clared that restrictive government
practices in the field of building ma
terials and construction labor had
cost the nation urgently needed hous-
ing.
Another highlight Of the meeting
was formal creation of a maritime
trade department with granting of a
charter to the new department, com
posed of seven AF'L maritime unions.
Denouncing use of slave labor by
members of the United Nations-an
action aimed particularly at Soviet
Russia and Great Britain-the coun-
Gil asked an international ban on all
goods produced by prisoners of war
and prison labor.
Forced labor in the Soviet Union,
namely German prisoners of war,
the council declared, exceeds the en-
tire labor force of seven big Eastern
industrial states, including New York
and Pennsylvania.
State Department Plan Hit
The council opposed a State De
partment proposal for an interna-
tional conference on trade and en-
ployment, and condemned especially
the suggestion that such conference
exempt goods made by slave labor
from embargo. The council demanded
that all prison-made goods be out
lawed and that the export-import
bank be prohibited from allowing
credits on goods produced under such
circumstances.
An international charter was grant
ed to the National Farm Labor
Union, formerly known as the South
ern Tenant Farmers Union. 1t is
headed by M. l.. Mitchell of Memphis.
Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treas-
urer of the United Mine Workers and
Edward j. Brown, president of the
international Brotherhood of Electri-
cal Workers were named AF'L dele

Comment On World Events

In Great Britain only 13 objectors
now remain behind bars, in contrast
with the 1900 in this country, they
pointed out.
at is surely regrettable that here
in the United States, men whose only
crime has been fidelity to conscience
should continue to be punished In
some cases with sentences which Will
not expire until 1941," the clergymen
declared.
While indicating little chance for
general amnesty for conscientious OBJ
jectors imprisoned for violation of
Selective Service rules, Attorney Cen
eral Thomas c. Clark recently said
that he was "yitally interested in see
ing that sincere young Jehovah's Wit
nesses be released from prisons at an
early date" Disclosure of Depart
ment of Justice arrangements where
by "a substantial number are already
scheduled for conditional release in
the early future" came in the Attor-
ney Generals reply to communica-
tions from A. j. Music.
Although Clark conferred last
month with delegation on the pos
sibility of general amnesty for all
conscientious objectors, he indicated
that he would support no amnesty
program so long as induction of men
into the armed forces is continued.

2,72O,OOO WOMEN QUIT
TO DON APRONS AGAIN

Washington, D. C.-Within the last
year 2,72O,0O0 women who labored
through the war and immediate post
war period left their emergency posts
to once more don aprons and settle
down to domestic routine.
This was revealed in a report by

Millions of their sister workers,
however, are still sticking to their
lathes and typewriters. Mr.. Goodwin
said 16,8O0,000 women were employed
in July.
While the women have been going
home, the veterans have been coming
back, until now Z out of every 10 jobs
are held by men.
