WOMEN UNION LEADERS
I'm BRITAIN ARE FAR
AHEAD OF u. s. SISTERS

London (LPA)-Women in AM
erica are ahead of their English
sisters in many respects. England,
in fact, is notoriously a mans
country. An American woman who
has settled here with her American
husband-complained bitterly to me-
Hes getting positively too Eng
lish. When he goes away for a rail
road trip, he takes the keys to the
car with himp And so it goes all
down the line-except in the trade
unions.
Here British women are well
ahead. Two places on the general
council of the Trades Union Con
gress are reserved for women
Three women have held the post OF
Chairman of the general council
a job which, unlike those of the
presidents Of the AFL and CIO,
goes to new trade unionist on the
general council each year. Marg-
aret Bondfeld broke the ice in
1923, but she did not complete her
years service in the traditional
way, by presiding at the annual
convention; she became member
of the first Labor Government
shortly after her election, and had
to resign her Trades Union Con-
gress post.
| Anne Loughlin of the Natl I'm
ion of Tailors & Garment Workers
was elected in 1912, and Florence
Hancock of the Transport & Gen
eral Workers Union last Septem-
Der at the Southport convention.
Anne Loughlin presided at the
1943 convention with ability and
distinction, and Florence Hancock
will be in charge of this years de-
liberations.
There remained, however, one
responsible post which no British
woman trade unionist had attain
ed. That was the job of general
secretary of an important British
union-the top paid post in British
union practice. This month British
womanhood celebrated the achieve
ment of that height as well.
When Andrew Conley, general
secretary of the Natl Union of
Tailors & Garment Workers, re-
tired because he had reached the
age limit set by the unions rules,
one woman and five men filed for
election to his vacant post. Almost
$4,000 out of the unions $4,000
members voted in the ensuing cleo
ton. Anne Loughlin won with 32,-
600 votes, over 10000 more than
her nearest competitor.
An active member of the Labor
Party (she moved the resolution at
the Southport Trades Union Con-
gress endorsing the foreign policy
of Ernest Bevin), Anne Loughlin
went to work in the clothing trade
as soon as she left school. In 1925
she visited Russia as a member of
women's trade union delegation.
This was one of the first of the
many international responsibilities
she has undertaken for British
workers. In 1885 she was Chair
man of the Natl Conference of
Labour Women.
Women trade unionists of Anne
Loughlin's generation had to have
the courage to fight through many
obstacles and prejudices. Women
workers persistently preferred men
as trade union officers, and voted
down other women, however COM
Ipetent. Often progress was pos
sible only in union jobs reserved
for women. But increasingly wo-
men are being elected, as Anne
Loughlin has just been, to jobs
which are open to men and women
alike. They issue a ringing chal-
lenge to their American sister
workers to do as we'll!

Good Poy. Fair Working Conditions
Essential To Attract Able Workers

w dSilHStOI, IL. ~. NlLNOj.
To attract efficient workers to the
federal government service it is
essential that the pay and working
conditions be good, Mrs. Berniece
B. Heffner, secretary-treasurer OF
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees declared in
speaking here on the Labor News
Review of WTOP, Columbia
Broadcasting System.
Speaking as the guest of Albert
N. Dennis, director of the Labor
News Review, Mrs. Heffner offic-
tally opened National Civil Service
Week, held in observance of estab-
lishment of the National Civil Ser
vice Act in 1883. The week has
been officially opened or closed on
the Dennis program since it was
,inaugurated II years ago.
, Mrs. Heffner praised the reforms
brought about by the Civil Service
Act, but she added that the merit
system alone will not bring into
government service the workers it
needs. There must also be "decent
pay and fair working conditions"
she emphasized.
Merit System Not Enough
"The merit system in general" ="
Mrs. Heffner said, has fulfilled the
detectives for which it was design
ed. Merit is the basis of govern
ment appointments and merit is
also taken into account in reduc-
tions of force, which have been so
prevalent of late"
"But the merit system alone"
she continued, "has not, on the
basis of experience, been sufficient.
Something more is essential and
that is to make government service
attractive to able and ambitious
young men and women.
"The head of a great university
announced recently that he would
no longer advise his students of
faculty members to enter govern
ment service. This action was due
largely to the unjustified attacks
that have been made on govern
ment employees in recent years.
But there are other reasons why
the service is not attractive. It's
pay scale is low. Most of the work
is monotonous and repetitious. But
\a writer in Sundays New York
Times brought out one of the most
convincing reasons why govern
ment service does not attract
namely its insecurity.
"That runs completely counter
to the general view Of government
employment, which sees it as com
pletely secure. But those who know
the service best know the Times
writer's view is correct. Security is
sadly lacking.
Unions Objective Indivisible
"No, the merit system alone will
not bring the people Uncle Sam
needs into his service. There must
also be decent pay and fair work
ing conditions. In neither respect
does Uncle Sam measure up.
"The American Federation of
Government Employees is devoted
toward improvement of the gov
ernment service and of the lot of
government employees. These OBJ
iectives are indivisible. You can
not have a strong civil service
without competent help, and you
cannot get the right people if they
are poorly paid and unfairly treat
ed. Our union does not permit re-
sort to strike, but uses other effec-
tive means. That is why the AFGE
feels that it is doing a work of the
greatest value to the American
people in seeking better govern
ment service Through better con-

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The Ma

Green Bay and Boston started the

tween the Philadelphia Eagles, kings
of the Eastern Division, and the
Chicago Cardinals, champions OF the
league. Last December the CARDS
whipped the Eagles, 1921.
