WHEN. springs in the air, it's
w high time for good gardeners
to get together for a sociable eve

theories on seeds and exposures.
You'll bountifully fulfill your host

and ample beverage supplies to
spice the conversation.
A treat that's sure to appeal to

CONNECTION is best to co-star with
Jelly and filings. It's a good idea to
serve decaffeinated coffee SO your
enthusiastic gardeners can spice
their conversation with extra cups

ond GUS are no trouble, if you use
the new instant de~caffeinated cof-
fee. Just add hot water, if the tenn
perature's right for a piping hot
beverage. Or if the evenings sud

A fluff Of whipped cream adds ap-

touch try mixing the decaffeinated
coffee with chocolate drinks.
A rolled pastry cookie is best for
the jelly filling. Stamp circles with
a biscuit cutter. Use a thimble dip

Quiet De 9th In
Congress Probe

WASHINGTON-LPA) - The
much publicized Congress n
"probe" of "racketeering" by
unions in the building trades ap-
pears to be dying a slow but quiet
death.
Originally announced as the
probe to end all probes, to be head
ed by Rep. Ralph Gwinn (R., N. W
the investigation was scheduled for
a coast-to-coast intinerary. Well in
advance, Rep. Gwinn listed his in
dictment of the AFL building
trades unions, initiating strongly
that their practices caused all of
the housing shortage.
This week, the committee has
two or three days of hearings
scheduled in Washington. No ma
tional tour; no more hearings
scheduled; says the spokesman for
the group, "We'd prefer not to say
anything more at this time"

Hollywood, Calf. f.-OLNS)-Am-
erican Federation of Labor unions
whose members are employed in
motion picture studios have formed
Hollywood AFL film committee
to work out program for the use
of motion pictures in labOr-public
relations.
The first activity of the COM
mittee, said an announcement, was
thes preparation of a brochure for
distribution at the San Francisco
AFL convention, urging the allot-
ment of a part of the federation's
public relations appropriation to
firm production.
With Roy Brewer of the Inter
national Alliance of Theatrical
Stage Employees as chairman, the
committee is composed of repre-
sentatives of the screen actors,
teamsters, laborers, studio projec-
tionists, grips, plasterers, film edi-
tors and electricians. The organiZa-
tons representatives have pledged
the support of their members in
the prospective production of labor
firms.

will be rewarded by success. Since
every person is a consumer, this is
the way to a rising living standard
for all.
"For the last 80 years the AFL
has repeatedly endorsed genuine
Rochdale consumers cooperation.
In this form of cooperation, con-
troll Is always in the hands of a
democratic organization of consum-
ers.
Importance Now Recognized
"Today the Importance of con-
sumner cooperatives and credit
unions in meeting current problems
of high prices and reduced consum-
er buying has been obvious to
many of our local unions. Many of
these unions have gone forward
with educational campaigns and
some have reached the point Of or
ganizing credit unions and cooper
atives.
Because of this, we direct the
attention of interested local unions
that efficient business management
is essential in any cooperative en-
terprise and we caution all unions

AFL-cIO Unity
At AnyP Price
Spurned BY CIO

Boston-LPA)-CIO and AFL
unity on any terms became more
remote this week with President
Philip Murray's report to the CIO
convention.
Murray told the convention, re-
porting on the AFL-CIO "peace ne
gotiations", that apparently our
former brothers in the family of
labor would only require that we
meet their conditions for return as
the price of forgiveness. This we
do not intend to do. We want unity,
seriously and earnestly, but not
unity at any price"
The AFL executive councils re-
port last week emphasized the need
of organic unity as a prerequisite
for common action. Murray told the
convention that "The developing
unity of program and action on the
level between AFL and CIO on eco
nomic and political matters is elo-
quent testimony as to the correct
ness of our position and should be
strongly encouraged and vitalized."
Murray declared that "We be-
lieve that a united labor movement
with strength, courage and vision
can be fashioned in America and
we believe that the proposal of the
CIO represents a practical approach
to this problem. We stand prepar-
ed to work, sincerely mad tireless-
ly, for a united labor movement"

CooPerofives Urged As Weapon To
Eose Unnecessary Price Increases

San Francisco-QLNS)- Exten-
sion of consumer cooperation to
ease the pressure of high living
costs on wage earners and to force
prices down was urged by the Am
erican Federation of Labor execu-
tive council, making its annual re-
port to the federation's convention.
Gas a force to combat unneces-
sary price increases, consumer CO.
operatives can be particularly eff
fective," the council declared.
Farmers Example Cited
"For instance" it continued,
American farmers are today buy
ing substantial quantities of fertil-
izer through consumer coopera-
tives, and their competition has
kept fertilizer prices at reasonable
levels while other prices have soar
ed.
''In Sweden consumer coopera-
tives make a point of keeping close
watch on prices and production
costs Of living necessities, and if a
price remains unreasonably high in
relation to costs, the cooperatives
produce and sell that product at
proper price, in competition with
other producers. This has proved
effective in keeping the prices of
living necessities within workers
reach.
"Free and fair competition, where
all economic interests are repre-
sented, is an effective method of
regulation in a free economy. As !
an alternative to government re-
gimentation and control, it leaves
the individual or group enterprise
free to conduct its own affairs. 1t
leaves the profit motive free to
function and permits the maximum
IF individual initiative. The entry
If consumers as well as producers
INTO the competition helps to make
sure that service to the consumer

PROVES WAGES CaBt1
Richmond, Va.-LPA)-The in
creased profits-amounting to more
than a million dollars-made by
one Virginia textile mill during the
first 27 weeks Of this year, came
almost 1000 out of the increased
productivity of the workers in the
mill, members Of the eastern Con-
gressional price investigating com
mittee were told last week.
"More than 1870 Of the increased
profits" of the Dan River Mills in
Danville, according to Joint Board
Manager Lewis NJ. Conn of the
Textile Workers Union "were earn
ed as result of increased pro-
ductivity."
"In the textile industry, it is
not hard to discover what is causing
high prices. And, gentlemen, it is
not wages" Conn asserted.
The union spokesman quoted fig
ures showing that food prices on
all essential items have risen to a
Shocking" extent in Danville. Be

he listed these price rises. breai,

Conn reported an alarming drop
in the amount of milk being bought
by the mill workers families, who
are now faced with another pro-
posed price increase when the State
Milk Commission holds hearings
in Danville this week. He invited
the Congressman to visit the hear
ings.
"Many people are not too happy
about this inquiry" he pointed out.
"They are not at all sure that
concrete will emerge
which can relieve them of the
steady deterioration of their living
standards. Your participation in
these Danville hearings on milk
prices, even if only as observers,
could do much to relieve these
fears"
Speaking fo1 the Textile Work

Factory Pay Scale
Falling, L. S. Finds

Washington-UPA) - The de-
cline in the length of the workweek
caused average weekly earn!r q in
manufacturing to slip to $1,000
for July, the Bureau Of Labor Sta
tistics reported last week. The drop
il the length OF the workweek
amounted to 11o.
The BIS report fourd that "The
reduction in average weekly hours
partly reflected such temporary in
fluences as coal and steel shortages
and summer vacations. Hourly
earnings reached $1.23 in July, in
creasing by only O.6c over June.
In the durable goods industries, the
workweek declined from 40.6 hours
in June to 40 hours in July. With
average hourly earnings at about
the same level weekly earnings con-
sequently declined from $53 to
$52.23."

Comment on
World Events

In strong plea for active la
Dor interest in United States for
eign policy, the American Feder-
alton of Labor executive council
emphasizes that "the time is past
when the labor movement of any
country can safely refrain from in
teresting itself in national foreign
policy and maintain positive stan
dards by which that policy should
be determined"
Incidentally, the council puts in
a word for positive governmental
action and frankness - both of
which have been too long lacking.
"The AFL," it says, ''is gratified
to note the extent to which our
government has abandoned a pol
icy of appeasement and adopted a
policy of plain speaking"
The council goes on to remark
that experience in the last 2 years
has convinced us that unless we
concentrate on the problems of
securing and maintaining peace in
the world we cannot hope for sus-
stained progress, nor can we hope
that our government will succeed
in maintaining democratic purposes
through our foreign policy unless
the citizens of this country con-
Germ themselves with foreign pol
icy and school themselves to dis
cern possible consequences of var
ious lines of action and give whole
hearted support to our govern
ment."
The council points out the bene-
fits of keeping unions and other
groups informed of foreign policy,
saying:
"Unless citizens keep representa-
tives advised of their wishes and
their judgment on policies, those
representatives are guided only by
government policies and their own
A national representa-
tive can take a strong position
when he knows he has national
backing.
"The AFL is in some measure
this need through the work
of its CcE1mit'ee on International
Labor Relations. This committee
should be directed to keep all
unions advised on the work of the
United Nation, the problems han
lied by our representatives in the
United Nations agencies, and speci-
fic problems in our nations foreign
policy.
"While our unions can depend
upon the metropolitan press for
general information, they look to
the federation for aid in knowing
abor implications. If foreign pol
cy is to be democratically deter
mined, not only must our labor
be prepared and alert
o keep it's members advised, but |
