Dorothy Dix Says

A wife and mother, who says that
she has gotten comfort and strength
out Of reading and rereading of q
column I wrote many. many years
ago, asks If I will reprint 1t be-
cause, she says, mothers and wives
haven't changed. They are still
that-away. The article Is about
an old woman, who, when selected
to be paid some especial honor In
her community, exclaimed: who,
me? Why, I've never done any
thing. I've just brought up a
houseful of kids to be decent men
and women. That's ALL"
She never did anything" yet she
was soldier who fought her battles
as bravely as any general whose
breast Is covered with medals and
whose deeds live In song and story
Eight times she faced death through
torture that has become the syn
onym for suffering to bring her
children into the world. Her life
was always a hand-to-hand fight
with poverty and Ill health and dis
couragement, but she never once
ran up the white flag.
She never did anything" yet
she was a f1nancier who would have
been Secretary of the Treasury II
she had gotten her just deserts.
Balancing the budget would have
been no trick at all compared to
spreading her husbands thin pay
envelope over the needs Of a big
family. Yet she did 1t.
"She never did anything" yet
she was a jack of all trades and
good at them all. She was Judge
who had to use the wisdom of
Solomon In settling the disputes
between her children. She was q
doctor who knew what to do for
minor juvenile ills and who could
kiss q bump and make 1t well. She
was a nurse whose hands had heal
ing in their touch, and who could
60 without food or sleep or rest
while a sick child clung to her who
would only be quiet in mothers
arms.
"She never did anything" yet she
was the character builder whose
work made the kind of men and
women who are the glory Of Our
country. She had bottom prin-
ciples and she founded her children
on them. She had high ideals that

CANDLE WAX;
BLISTERED PLASTER?

(Frona Mrs. E. w. S., Washington
The contribution of Mrs. H. NJ,
Arlington, to Mrs. G. A. F., Falls
Church, about making rustic candle
sticks by dripping bright-colored
candle wax on attractive bottles
reminds me that we did that with
leftover birthday cake candles, us
ing perfume bottles. We also took
a common little brown Jug"
jammed in q tight cork, roughened
the glaze near the upper shoulder
with sandpaper, made a hole in
the cork with an auger, or by burn
ing, inserted an electric lamp fix
ture, dripped every color candle wax
on the jug, and it drips beautifully
making a stunning lamp. The shade
was plain white, and on 1t we pasted
various artistic labels, four roses,
etc. The most beautiful was a green
creation from a creme de menthe
bottle. Good for a recreation room,
porch, any informal surroundings.
1t has been greatly admired, and
still attractive after u years use.

Montana labor news., 1948-04-08

NOW, after six months experience under
the Taft-Hartley act, we can report that this
law is worse than we feared. Not one single
provision is working to benefit labor. AS
Senator Ball reports, the law is working bet
ter than either he or Senator Taft expected
in help it gives to employers.
One Of the greatest victories of the Taft
Hartley act has been the unexpected action
of som unions in voluntarily striking out by
refusing to file non-Communist affidavits and
financial statements.
After six months, it is clear that the only
result of this boycott is to weaken the bar
gaining position of some of the boycotting
unions. The refusal to file under the law
does not protect the union against the anti
labor provisions of this law. Not at all.
Every single anti-labor provision can be
used against any labor organization whether
it has filed its affidavits and its financial
statements or whether it has refused to file.
A union can be sued under the Taft-Hart-
ley act whether or not its leaders have signed
non-Communist affidavits. An Injunction
can be issued to stop a union from pressing
its demands whether or not that union has
filed it's financial statement with the Labor
department.
A union may claim to be defying the Taft
Hartley act, but that doesn't stop the Labor
Board from hauling it up on charges of unfair
labor practices whenever an employer makes
such charges.

But, the last six months have shown, un-
ions refusing to file have weakened their abil-
ity to aid and protect their members. They
have made their jobs of negotiating peace
fully with tough employers that much harder.
Unions whose officers can and will sign
these affidavits and file the required finan-
cial statements are not afraid to stand up
and fight for better contracts. They are not
afraid that an employer will withdraw rec
o~gnition in the middle of negotiations for
higher wages.
The situation is so bad in some of these
non-complying unions that their leaders con-
slider it big, page-one new when an employer
agrees not to cancel a contract or to with
draw recognition for another year.
Questions the members of these nOn-com-
plying unions are asking have become SO en-
barrassing, that some of their leaders are
resorting to attacks on unions that have filed
under the law. The LAM. is especially
blamed because it was the first union to file.
They are trying to blame the LAM, for
example, for the red tape and delay at the
Labor Board. Such a charge is ~asinine.
1t doesn't make sense, of course. But it
does indicate the panic of the leaders in SOM
Of these non-complying unions. - From The
Machinist, LAM.
The United States department of Labor was
created in 1913, as the last official act of
