Date Is Set For
Wage Hearing In
Glass Industry

Washington.-Wm. r. McComb
administrator of the Wage anC
Hour and Contracts Divisions, U
S. Department Of Labor, scheduled
a public hearing for February 9 to
consider a change in the minimum
wage determination for the manu-
facture or supply of products OF
the "Flint Glass Industry" under
the Walsh Healey Public Contracts
Act.
The industry now operates under
prevailing wage determination
made in 1888, which set mini
mum wage of 4212 cents an hour
for the manufacture or supply of
products Of the industry on gov
ernment contracts for more than
$4,000 let under the Public Con-
tracts Act. A petition filed by the
AFL's American Flint Glass Work
ers Union of North America re-
quests that the Secretary of Labor,
who determines the prevailing min
imum wage for industries under
the act, establish a new rate of at
least 80 cents an hour.
In his notice of the hearing Ad-
ministrator McComb also announc-
ed that it is proposed to redesign-
ate the "Flint Glass Industry" as
the pressed and Blown Glass and
Glassware Industry" The hearing
also will permit testimony on
whether provision should be made
in a new minimum wage determ-
ination for the employment of
learners at subminimum rate, and
the conditions of employment of
learners, if any.
Evidence obtained by McComb at
the hearing will be submitted to
Secretary of Labor Maurice j.
Tobin for his action.

Plans To Abolish
Discrimination
In National Guard

Hartford, Conn. OPA) - High
IN the list of Governor Chester
Bowles' proposals to his new leg
stature is a bill to abolish Jim
Crowism" in the Connecticut Ma
.ional GUARDIAN innovation that
will affect not only Connecticut but
also open the way for action by
many other states.
At present Negroes cannot be
accepted for service in the Conn.
National Guard regardless of their
qualifications. This is not because
of action - or prejudice, says
Bowles-on the part Of National
Guard officers, but because it is
US Army policy not to allow enlist
ments of Negroes except for seq
regated units. Segregated units
have not been provided for in Con-
necticut.
Bowles could by executive order
iirect the Conn. National Guard to
Negroes. But, he says,
whatever action we take to elm
mate racial discrimination should
stem not from the convictions Of a
single individual but from the be-
liefs of all Of the people of our
state" He believes that if the leg
islature passes a bill directing such
action, the Army will be forced to
turn its back on its old policy and
allow Negro enliStments.

Editors Crusade
Wins Praise From
Labor In Detroit

Washington (LPA) - Fighting
editor William Evjue of the Madi-
son, Wise, Capital Times won high
praise from the Detroit and Wayne
County Federation of Labor last
week. The Michigan unionists con-
graduated Evjue on his exposure
of income tax frauds of two Wis
consin Congressmen-O'Konski and
Kersten, and one Senator-Mc-
Carthy-all anti-union Republicans.
The Detroit AFL included its
applause of Evjue's efforts in a
petition to Justice. and Treasury
Dept officials asking official in
vestigation of the affairs of one Of
Michigan's own senators-another
anti-labor Republican, Homer Fer
guson.
Among the charges made against
Ferguson, by CIO as well as AFL
unions, are that he received cam
paign funds illegally from Mich
igan auto dealers, and that he fail
ed to properly account for funds
entrusted to him while a circuit
judge in Michigan.
Renewed nationwide in tere t
was also shown last week in two
of the Wisconsin solons about
whom the Capital Times has un-
earthed information. LLPE-the
AFL's political arms pressing
its endorsement of Evjue's move
to unseat Rep. Alvin O'Konski, and
is asking a full inquiry by the JUS
tice Dept.
So far neither Attorney General
Tom Clark nor Justice Dept attor-
ney William Paisley, who is in
charge of the O'Konski case, have
indicated what the Departments
plans are.
Rep. Franck Havenner 3D.,
Calif.) disclosed last week that
hell ask a Congressional investi-
cation of the part ex-Rep. Charles
Kersten played in an attempt to
smear him as a Communist. The
anti-CP liberal Californian
said Kersten let the Labor Com
nittee subcommittee which he
headed in the S0th Congress be
lsed as a sounding board for a
lireling of reactionaries who paid
he "stoolie" $1,000 to testify that
Iavenner had Communist con-
lections."

Every device, however small,

in making cakes and other mix

slips off the waxed surface so read

HAVE YOU HEARD ?? :? :?

Vital statistics prove that wo-
men live longer than men and since
they are continually inheriting
more property from men, women
will own a larger and larger share
of the national wealth until they
eventually own it all.
Right now women own between
half and three-quarters of it. Har-
rison Smith, president of the Sat
urday Review of Literature says
women could practically run the
country if they could decide on a
program. But, he said, "they re-
main satisfied with accepting divi-
dends from corporations instead of
becoming corporation heads-and
they are satisfied with electing
men to Offices which they could be
filing"
Watch these women, Mr. Smith,
they may surprise you!

/ Mixing salad dressing in the
salad bowl before adding the salad
is another small way to save an
extra dish, and time.

Melt the fat for mullins or

ready.
Take advantage of all the pie,

self. The cost is about the same,
and they are a time saver.
Those whole hams and whole

price at first glance, but when you
figure they are cooked and there
is no shrinkage or waste, no time

and no fuel used to cook them, they
are actually saving on the house

Congress will do a great deal of
hard thinking before it gives ap-

Is the great postwar boom slow

Certain industries which could
not begin to fill the demand short
while back-such as household ap-
pliances-have been cutting pro-

field, where shortages have been

motif in her new collection.
One of her stunning numbers for
summer was the natural colored,
ge-brimmed Milan straw shown
accompanied by a velvet rope with
flowers attached, usually matching
the flower on the hat. The velvet
rope could be worn draped around
the hat for further flower empha
sis, or draped around the shoulder
in cape-like effect, or around the
waist of a dress as a sash.
Another victor inspiration was
the drape attached to the hat.

WOMEN


WOMEN
Writing for the Foreign Policy
Bulletin, Vera Micheles Dean says,
"Far too little notice is taken of
the role played by women. -.
Women-as teachers, as members
of an ever widening range of pro-
fessions, as mothers and wives of
men killed or MANNED in war or re-
turned to work out their peacetime
problems under difficult postwar
conditions-have given profound
thought to the strains and stresses
of both national and international
society.
"Women, by force of circum-
stances, have to busy themselves
with problems of housing, food,
education, health, sanitation, and,
by projecting what they know of
these problems at home, have ar
rived at many common sense con-
.clusions about the same problems
on the world scene. :"
< :. !.
The historical novel. "Women
With Sword" by Hollister Noble,
published by Doubleday & Co. is
described by Gertrude Griscom
Barr of Seattle, Washington, as
a must for women.
"In all my twenty-some years of
book selections, says Mrs. Barr,
81 have never come across a book
that | thought was more important
for women to get behind. Not be-
cause of the little-known histor-
ical character portrayed but be-
cause of the general principle of
recognition of women, their service
and ability. 1t is very well written
extremely readable, wonderfully
stimulating and definitely arrest
ing in its portrayal of the little
problem that still goes on under
meath the surface of affairs.
"And it is a shock to realize how
slow our progress has been. Since
we wish to inspire women to get
out and run for office, to partici-
pate in the affairs of the nation,
surely here is a book that is prac-
tically a must for women"

Personal Incomes
Reach High Level

Worry-warts should read a few
of these figures reported by the
Commerce Department recently.
Personal incomes, handspring of
consumer buying, increased in June.
The rise helped push such in
comes for the first six months of
1949 to a level 2.6 per cent higher
than the first half of boom-time
1948.
An increase in farm income was
cited as the main cause of the June
rise. Farm income rose because of
an increased volume of crops sold
or placed under Government loan,
the Department said.
Dividend payments to investors
were also up in June, as were most
other sources of personal income.

That is just what the 81st Con-
gresS is doing; preventing enact
ment into the law of the land many
"craZy and crackpot measures"
which seem to come from the White
House.
AS President, Mr.. Truman has
constantly been at loggerheads with
the legislators on Capitol Hill. Dur
ing the Democrat-controlled 18th
Congress the fight began. He really
got into full battle array during
the Republican 80th Congress which
he lampooned as the worst in his
tory"
Now the 81st Congress, again
controlled by heavy Democrat
majority, is constantly under fire
from the White House.
Has Mr.. Truman forgotten what
he said in letter to the St. Louis
Star-Times on March 6, 1914, about
the treatment of Congress by the
late President Roosevelt when the
latter talked tough to Congress in
a tax bill veto message?
Mr.. Truman, then Senator,
wrote in that letter:
"Had the President returned the
tax bill with plain statement that
he did not think it produced enough
revenue don't think there is a
doubt in the world but what both
the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives would have supported
the veto, but when he attacked the
integrity and the intelligence of the
Senate and the House of Represen-
tatives he got just exactly what was
coming to him =. :"
