How To Get Bloom on
African Vil0t
Mrs. w. A. A. of Charlotte,
asks why her African violet
which is quite healthy does not
bloom and what she can do to get
it to bloom.
1t may be lack of humidity in
the air about the plant that is
the cause of no blooms. Best
bloom from a plant in the ordi-
nary living room is obtained if
the pot is kept standing on moist
pebbles in saucer. This will
supply humidity around the
leaves. Take care that water is
not allowed to stand above the
bottom of the pot level as this
may cause the soil to be soaking
wet all times and rot the roots.
You must pinch off faded flowers
daily to prevent seed forming,
|otherwise flower buds will stop
forming. 1t is important, too, to
have plenty of fresh air in cold
weather but never directly on
the plant. If you think none of
these can be your trouble, it may
be best to try repotting.
Unlike many plants that bloom
best when rootbound, the African
violet blooms more freely if
somewhat over-potted. Frequent
ly it will bloom even in a north
window, but you will get more
bloom if you can keep it in a
sunny east window with the pot
set little back from the glass.
In winter the night temperature
IN which the violet is kept should
be 90 to IS degrees. If it doesn't t
go .elow so at night, the day
temperature doesn't much mat
ter. Keep soil in pot moist but not
wet. watering from below each
time the soil in the pot feels dry
to the finger. This may be txice
a day in dry hot room.
The Oleander
think this is the plant to
which Mrs. ]. H. of Grover, N. C.
refers. She says she doesn' t
know the plant but has seen it
advertised and wants information
about it-what it is, what kind of
soil to use for it, when to set it
out, when it blooms and how
long its season of bloom, also
how long it takes to bloom and
what the color.
Oleander (nerium) is very
beautiful shrub in warm coun-
tries. 1t is tender north of Co.
lumbia, S. c., though it is grown
in protected places along the
coast of New Jersey. Colors range
from white through several
! shades of pink, and flowers are
both single and double. 1t makes
a beautiful bushy plant in tub.
! In your section it will need to be
taken indoors for the winter and

Confidence was res tore d !, though, when Arthur turned to the question of wages. ''One has to grant the virility of the wage spiral" he told his audience, ''es- pecially as long as we have John L.

Continued from Page One) that the Typos know how to fight, when necessary"
 Is the union asking for anything unreasonable? Not at all, according to Randolph. The Typos" he said, want wage increases because of the skyrocketing cost of living and they want continuation of the working con- ditions which have been in effect for years.
 DEMANDS ARE FAIR
 Insofar as conditions are con cerned, we're not demanding anything from the publishers we haven't already got" Randolph stressed.
 The union prefers to have these conditions maintained without contract. But where the publishers insist on a contract, the Typos" have offered a type of agreement which safeguards long established ssunion shop'' standards without violating the Taft-Hartley law, the union chieftain pointed out.
 As protection for the union, this agreement carries a clause permitting either side to terminate 1t upon 60 days advance notice. That would leave the Typos" free to strike after such notice if the publisher tries to impose "open shop" conditions or force the printers to work with non-members.
 PUBLISHERS PLOT
 But the A. N. P. A. and the pub fishers who follow its "party line" have something else in mind. They want to compel the I. T. U. to sign their brand of contract, which would trap the union in the snarls of the Taft-Hartley Act and leave it help less if the employer "chisels" on union conditions, Randolph declared.
 'sThey won't grant wage increases unless we sign such contract" he said. ''And they're flooding the Ma tional Labor Relations Board with unfair labor practice' charges against us in an effort to drive us into line. They're maneuvering also to have Robert N. Denham (the 'czar'' of the Taft-Hartley AcO slap an injunction on us."
 As a smokescreen, the publishers are claiming that they're merely try ing to "obey the law"-that is, the Taft-Hartley Act which they helped put over, Randolph pointed out.
 PUNCTURES ALIBI
 But it's significant that they pro fessed no such concern for the law of the land when the Wagner Act was placed on the statute books" he emphasized. Like other employers, these publishers fought that act through the courts.
 ''The fact is, we're not asking them to disobey the law. We merely want to avoid getting involved in

 It was pointed out in the executive councils report that funds for the league could not, under the Taft Hartley law, be raised from the un- ions. Therefore, every national union, local affiliate and state and central body will be canvassed to reach the goal of $1 per member for 1948. Fifty cents of each dollar collected will re- main in the locality where it is raised and the remainder will be sent to the league, which may reallocate some of it to districts requiring such aid.
 ACTION CALLED INNOVATION
 MT. Meany told the gathering that the action was not a departure from the AFL's former policy but was an innovation in so far as giving effect to that policy "in the light of modern conditions"
 Labor, he said, was determined to go into politics as never before. He predicted that the AFL cam paign would succeed "since you cannot step on the people and get away with 1t indefinitely"
 Daniel J. Tobin of the Teamsters Union emphasized that the conference would lay foundation for the future and that the result of the leagues ac- tivities would be of great value to the workers in the nation regardless of the result of the 1o48 election cam paign.

 MT. Green, who presided, opened the meeting by voicing labor's deter imitation to fight for repeal of what he termed anti-labor legislation. He concluded by explaining that the fed eration had felt it necessary to form new political league "becuase a re- act1onary Congress has fastened its shackles on labor"

and Ford was worried about it. McLaglen is
man of simple and direct emotions Ford
could not visualize him as confused, terrified
creature pleading abjectly for his life.
The directors solution was to refuse to
let McLaglen see the script. The actor was
literally pushed onto the set, with instruc-
tions to ad-lib the scene through. McLaglen
stammered, licked his lips Beads of honest
sweat appeared on his forehead. He was
genuinely confused and frightened Result

Lesson in kissing
FAILURE to register the required emotions
is not necessarily the actors fault. Most
movie takes are short, under minute and
the actor has no time to build up steam The
sequences are filmed catch-as-catch-ca can; not
in the logical continuity you see on the
screen. Under these circumstances, even an
experienced stage actor occasionally draws a
blank
Take the girl in your arms" says the
director. Kiss her passionately, as if you
were starved for her Kisses
The actor has already kissed the same girl

wife. With dim recollection of what pre-
