on gardening had been written, when
along came the Woman's Home Com
panion Garden Book P. F. Collier
and Son corporation, pub l i S h r,
New York City, with many new
angles. Edited by John c.. Wister,
director of the Arthur Hoyt Scott

college, this book speaks with au-
thority.
1T is correct" it states on page
472, ito speak of narcissus, and also
correct TO use the English term daft
fodil for all species and varieties OF
narcissus. There is confusion about
this. a popular impression being that
daffodils are the yellow kind, and
narcissus the white kinds There also
has been confusion about the name
jonquil. All the daffodils Of the jon
gull group are distinguished by their
narrow, garlic-like foliage and by
their characteristic bright yellow
color. which is the same shade
throughout the flower"
All of this interested me nightly

Not the least interesting writing
in this book is the foreward by the

Closing Sessions Of
18th Convention

Closing sessions of the 25th bien-
nial convention Of the Upholsters'
International Union were being held
today in the Willard Hotel.
The convention yesterday heard
Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., general
counsel of the union, warn that
vigilance is required If our Demo-
cratic tradition is to survive"
"It is not just a coincidence" he
said, that the attacks on free labor
come from two sides, from the ex-
tremists of the left and from the
extremists of the right.
Neither of these wishes to abolish
unions but only to destroy their
independence and turn them into
slavish appendages-in the case Of
the left, of self-constituted political
commissars, and in the case of the
right, of an autocracy Of wealth."
The New York attorney asserted
this country lis suffering from a
bad case Of negativitis."
THE handspring of policy and ma
tional action has become fear rather
than hope-fear Of Communism,
fear Of a depression, fear of war;"
he declared.
Laying down a program of great
constructive projects and goals" for
which he said "our people hunger" !"
he listed six specific projects which
he said were urgently needed "to
ensure Democratic survival" They
are:
The strengthening and broadening
of our social security system, the
Inauguration of a national health
insurance program, long-range
housing program, strengthening of
the wages and hour law, a broad
program to develop our national
resources, a national slum- clear

TRUMAN Tells HOW HE STOPPED UNIV
STRIKE WITH INJUNCTION

Injunction Harry boasts, in the last
analysis, is one that bestOws little
credit upon Truman, any way you
interpret it.
"In December 1916 Truman-Clark
conspired and obtained an injunction
under the War Labor Disputes Act,
better known as the Smith, onnally
act, which cheated the mine workers
out Of a wage increase until July
1947. In the end the UMWA won
a $120-a-day increase and an addi-
tional S cents a ton royalty for the
welfare and retirement fund.
Harry Used TIL Law
"In this year OF 1913, consplra-
tors Truman Clark secured an in
junction under the NAM-Taft-Hart
ley act (Which law injunction Har-
ry' alleges he is against), but in the
end the UMWA won a $1.OO-a-day
increase and an additional 10 cents
a ton royalty for the welfare and
retirement fund What's more, the
victory was so complete that the OPP
orators agreed TO activate the pen
sion fund
ut is true that it cost the UMWA
100000 and President Lewis $10,-
eco in fines for contempt of court
in 1947, and there is pending on APP
peal in the court the 1948 fine of
Of $1,40O,OO0 against the UMWA
and $4,000 against President Lewis.
AT this point, may we inquire
who stopped who, where, how, and
when. Reading Labor Advocate.
