That Mother-in-Law Problem

Mother n5law certainly couldn't
be half as bad or unpopular as she
IS depicted, in most Jokes or car
toons. After all, there are good
and bad mothers-in-law, Just as
there are kind and temperamental
women.
Like Kipling's. q. and never the
twin shall meet" in extreme cases
q mother-in-lsv aud a daughter
in-law are like fire and water
crammed under one roof.
There's the case of the young
mother who Just was, as the Judge
In the court Of domestic relations
would put it, simply incompatible.
She was just $3.50; when hubby
asked her to put a couple of but
tons on his already decrepit shirt,
the volcano In her went full bust.
She threw the pan and the dish
cloth and the mop On him, told him
II he wanted to side with mother
all the time as he did, he could
jump into the river as far as she
cared. She went into such a fit
over mother-in-law. that she just
packed up her troubles and her
grip, and scrammed out of the
house. To make her exit dramatic,
she gave mother-in-l law a good
smacking on her nose via her right
wrist.
Most WY married couples
sometimes get the wrong concep-
ton that the only time mother-in-
law is of any use Is when she is
hapdy-woman to putting baby to
sleep while they 60 romping to a
show or dance.
Remember that mother-in-law
wishes to make your new home just
as happy and cheerful as you your
self wish 1t to be. She is a wise
bride who win try and understand
her husbands nom, and try to be-
come intimate with her.
At this point the psychologists
have suggested that one of the
surest ways to befriend mother-in-
law is to call her mother"
This is difficult for many brides
to whom the word mother" has a
special meaning, that of her own

A Sad Report to Peace, Loving Peoples


Two years ago today, Sept. 2, 1915, the Ja-
panese government surrendered to the United
States to end World War Ii. It was vi day
on the mainland, and throughout the world it
was time to rejoice over the conclusion of man
made hostilites
Today, Sept. 2, 1947, two years after VI
day, warlike incidents and situations over the
globe strike a sour note to the Victory which
the Allies won through "blood sweat and
tears.
Palestine with its Jewish and Arab peo-
pies is troubled with internal strifes involving
the British. China is still embroiled in her pro-
longed civil war. Russia has bucked the United
Nations Organization on several vital issues, the
latest one on the atom bomb Greece has her
hands full tackling her guerrilla fghting forces
Dutch East Indies is not altogether happy over
Dutch rule.
The 1917 report to the peace-loving peoples
OF the world is definitely not good

Writer Feels Members
Should Show Strength

Coshocton, Ohio - Local Union
rs held a very interesting session
at their last meeting although no
thing of a startling nature came
before the group. After the regular
routine business matters were TAX
en- care Of, the balance of the even
| ing was devoted to our participa-
ton in the Labor Day festivities
this year.
Never before in the writer's
memory can | recall when labor
should ban together on this day
and show our strength to the en-
emies of labor, especially those
who supported the Taft-Hartley
measure, who would have us re-
turn back to the days of the stone
age. If we are to weather the
storm of the anti-labor haters,
then, each and every member of
labor should be ready and willing
to do their part. The members of
Local Union rs, as whole, can be
counted upon to be well represent
ed at the rally on September lst.
Plans for our local picnic will be
discussed at our next meeting and
the committee would like very
much to have every member pre-
sent. There is a great deal of work
in preparing for picnic and it is
not right to shift the burden of re-
sponsibility on trusted few.
Clyde Jones was initiated and
his name added to the roll. Sister
Thelma Ramsey's application was
turned over to the investigating
committee who will make their re-
port at our next meeting.
Refreshments were served at the
close of the meeting with a few of
the members finding a little added
diversion via the pasteboards.-

Strike For'Tof
Proof Contract

Detroit (LPA)-Seven thousand
auto workers walked off their jobs
here last week in the first strike to
win "Taft-proof" clauses in un-
ion agreement.
In test of JAW policy to "pro-
tect union members from the evils
of the Taft-Hartley law" Local 2
shut down two plants of the Muir
ray Corp. of America when the
management refused to agree to
contract clauses similar to .provis-
ions recently won for the AFL
miners by John L. Lewis.
Local 2 President Lloyd Jones
said union negotiators had been
near agreement with the company
except for the "Taft-proof'' provis-
ions.
First contract in the Detroit
area ignoring the new NLRB and
protecting the union from financial
liability for strikes was signed by
the UAW last week with the Spine
Gear Co.
With Murray Corp. major sup
plier of parts, the strike may soon
affect production at other. auto
plants.

Machinists Union Bars
UnapprOved Strikes

Washington, D. C. OLNS).-
The International Association OF
Machinists executive council, in
special meeting here, issued an or
der prohibiting local unions from
calling strikes not specifically ap-
proved by international headquart-
ers here. The order covers 1,600 af-
filiates with more than 100000
members.
Harvey w. Brown, international
president, said the action was nee
essary to protect all lam members
from the legal consequences of
strikes in violation of agreements.
'No matter how technical the
vialotion," said Brown, cor how
great the provocation, any strike
which appears to violate the lang
uage of an agreement between the
lam and an employer can make
the entire union liable for dam
ages"
President Brown earlier instruct
ed lam officials that no work stop
pages should be conducted so it
"can be construed as a jurisdic-
tional strike or secondary boycott"
These stoppages are penalized un-
der the new labor act.
