AFL Council Frames
Own Labor Program
10 Offer Congress
By jones Y. Newton

BY Stoff Correspondent Of The Sfor
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 30-The Amer
ican Federation of Labor Executive
Council is working on labor legis-
lative program of its own to pro-
pose to Congress obviously deter
mined to 60 much farther than
union leaders want in placing re-
strictions on labor. @
President William Green said to-
day that the council, holding its
winter meeting here, was drafting
program 1t believed would i'm
prove industrial relationships. He
refused to- say what might be in
the program, but 1t was known that
some council members favor the
idea of fighting fire with fire."
and hoped to come. up with some
thing acceptable to Congress.
1t was recalled that Mr.. Green
Endorsed the ideas President Tru-
man expressed to Congress in his
!state-of the Union message. The
President suggested a commission to
study labor management problems
thoroughly and suggest to Congress
whatever labor law changes were
necessary. Mr.. Truman asked the
outlawing of jurisdictional strikes
and certain types of secondary boy
colts.
Blasts Bills in General.
The Council issued statement
blasting in general the various labor
bills now being considered by the
Senate Labor Committee and the
House. 1t called attention to the
currently small number of strikes
and said reconversion labor troubles
are over.
America faces a great opportu-
nifty Of establishing lasting labor
management peace and sustained
full production" the Council said.
"The chief disturbing factor in
the situation Is the threat held out
by Congress of enacting sweeping
legislation which would entirely dis
rupt the normal processes of collec-
tive bargaining and stir up wide
spread industrial unrest
AFL leaders referred to last years
wave Of strikes as a passing phe-
nomenon," resulting directly from
wartime dislocations, and said it
would be tragic mistake" for
Congress to "uSe such abnormal oc-
currenceS" to upset so years of in
dustrial relations progress by pass
ing "ill-considered and punitive"
bills.
Strike Increase Forecast.
The council later will analyze in
dividual bills, but said that current
proposals in general will increase
strikes; oppress the American free
enterprise system and jeopardize
bright prospects of full and unin-
terrupted production. 1t said spon-
sors of the labor bills either were
ignorant Of the dangerous poten-
tialities" Of their proposals or ARE
by a vengeful desire to
cripple and destroy the trade union
movement" -.-.>
The AFL leaders said a, casual
glance at other countries should
prove that "toryism only breeds
class warfare and is not the an
swer to Americas future"
A report on conditions in Ger
many and recommendations for i'm
proving them, prepared by COM
mission Of the AFL, was approved,
William c. Doherty of Washington,
president Of the National Associa-
ton Of Letter Carriers. It recon-
mended replacement of zone control
by a strong central government.

Timely Hints
BY Verna Stanton
Assistant State Agent

Root vegetables will be fresher
and have more nutritiVe value
if their leaves or tops are trim
med off before they are stored
in home refrigerators or vege-
table bins, plant scientists of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
remind housewives.
Although punches of carrots,
turnips, beets, parsnips, and rad
ishes may look more attractive
in grocery stores with their leafy
tops attached, those tops should
be cut off as soon as possible be-
cause they draw moisture and
nutrients from the vegetable.
The tops take up valuable space
in storage containers. The plant
scientists explain that while the
vegetable is growing in the
ground, the leaves manufacture
sugar, starch, protein and other
nutrients and pass them down
to the roots for storage.
However, once the vegetable
is harvested and the roots are
out of the ground, the situation
is reversed and the leaves draw
on the moisture an nourishment
of the roots to keep alive.
These vegetables, especially if
young and tender, keep better in
the vegetable compartment Of
the refrigerator than in an open
vegetable bin in the kitchen. be

Suggestions Listed TO Aid
Cat in Keeping Nine Lives

NEW YORK. - Cats are not the
self-sufficient breed they are sup
posed to be, it would appear from a
notice sent out by the American So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals.
Eugene Berlinghoff, the society's
executive assistant, noted an in
crease in the number of emergency
calls for Manhattan's 10000 cats.
Then he listed some pointers on
how to help the cats maintain their
nine-life tradition.
Owners should keep screens in
windows, to prevent the cats from
jumping or falling. Poison for rats
or bugs should be hidden-cats are
curious. The owners should put iden-
LITIGATION tags on their cats. Other
wise, they are fair game for seizure
and DISPOSAL.

Banjo Player Is
King Of Island
Finds Contentment on Sand
Strip Off Virginia; Son

HOG ISLAND, VA. - This cigar.
shaped strip of land, seven miles
long and a stones throw across,
once was home for a tidy commu-
nifty of about 200 persons. The island
village of Broadwater long ago was
moved-literally floated across the
Is miles of sheltered bay which
separates the island from Virginia's
eastern shore.

island braves wind-whipped waves,
the icy cold of winter and the sum-

contentment here.
Wind and Water Win.
Hog island and what happened to
it is the story of people who lost
their battle with the wind and
water.
Fifty years ago Broadwater viii
lage had some 40 families. The
island had a fine hunting and fishing
club, the members of which in
cluded Pres. Grover Cleveland.
The men fished and tonged oys-
tiers. There was some farming.
There was timber-lots of sturdy
trees-for shelter against the heavy
winds.
Then, in October, 1888, a hurri-
cane roared in from the Atlantic
and when it had spent itself Hog
island was stripped and its way of
life was gone. The storm wrecked
houses. Tides washing across the
sandy strip carried away the gardens
and uprooted trees that had stood
for generations.
Gradually families began to take
on the mainland. A barge
was built and the church was 1oated
across the bay. The school went
over and then the store and soon the
village of Broadwater was
across Hog island bay.
The rebuilt village is called Willis
Wharf and most of the Hog island
refugees still live there.

But the island registered a gain.
