New York (LPA)-Hottest item
on the agenda of the Int'l Labor
Organization of the United Nations
when it convenes in Geneva, Swift
zerland, this week will be the
AFL's demand for an investigation
of slavery in Soviet Russia.
George Philip Delaney, head of
the AFL's international affairs de-
partment, and US workers dele
gate to the ILO meeting has dis
closed that he is taking to Geneva
with him a complete dossier on
slave labor in the Soviet Union.
The AFL has accumulated this in
formation with the assistance of
eastern European trade unionists
in exile, many of whom have them
selves been inmates of the slave
labor camps.
The AFL will also create quite a
healthy row when it asks the ILO
to investigate recent infringements
on basic trade union rights in two
South American countries-Vene-
zuela and Peru.
An lilo study just published in
dicates that slave labor conditions
are decreasing in the colonial
areas of the old imperial powers
Britain, France, and the Neither
lands. These countries have signed
the Hos anti-forced labor agree
ment. But ILO is not convinced
that everything is quite as rosy as
the reports indicate, and will pro-

Williams Tells
Michigan AFL
He's Just Begun

Jackson, Mich. (LPA) = "Wt
have just begun to fight" Tha'
promise, made by Governor G
Mennen Williams, brought dowr
the house at the Goth annual con
vention here of the Michigan State
Federation of Labor.
Williams, elected last November
or the Democratic ticket, reported
lon the record of the Republican
controlled legislature, which has
just wound up it's sessions.
The governor charged that COP
bosses cracked the whip on men,
bers of their party and forced them
to vote not only against nearly all
major bills proposed by the Demo
Gratis, but even against measures
which the last Republican state
convention had pledged itself to
support.
AS a result, he said, "the legisla-
tors went home with no action
taken on such vital issues as hOus-
ing, public utility rates, fair en-
ployment practices, the prison sys-
tenn, and farm marketing assist
ance program" Also, by failing to
enact a proper tax program, the
legislature left the state $70,00O,-
600 in the hole, Williams said.
A few good measures were en-
acted, he added. These include
slight improvements in workmen's
and unemployment compensation
laws; boost in old age pensions to
the needy; and a few improve
ments in the Bonine-T Trip anti
labor law. But on orders of "a little
group of wilful men" commanding
the Republican party, most of the
bills were smothered,
Williams charged.
He announced he would call the
back into special ses-
sion and make a new fight for
those bills.
."We are not defeated" he said.
''The reckoning has only been post
poned. On the great issues which
affect the Lives of all the people
there will be no retreat"

lZatlon. Iaklng this TACT into con-
sideration and the fact that many
will sit in convention for
y the first time, it seems altogether
probable that the session this year
as in former years will run into the
second week.
The last convention in 1948 open
ed on Monday, June 28, and closed
on Thursday, July 8. No work was
done on the Fourth which fell on
Sunday but was celebrated Mon
day, making nine days the conven-
ton was in session.
AS has already been mentioned
in these columns the convention
this year will be held in the At
lantic City Auditorium and will
open on Monday morning, June 27.
1t should also be mentioned that
those who have not already made
their hotel reservations, should
loose no time in attending to this
matter because good rooms will be
at premium the latter part of
June throughout July.
This years resolutions as in
former years, finds the bulk of
resolutions processed through the
hands of the Generalware Price
List Committee before they reach
the convention floor.
As customary in former years,
the Executive Board, with numer-
Gus and weighty problems to be
ironed out before the convention
convenes, will meet in the usual
preliminary sessions.

Reduce Laundry Fatigue


Much of the backache and gen.
eral strain which often accom-
panies home laundering can be
eliminated by few simple
changes in the working arrange
ment, according to Miss Lorraine
Ford, Extension home manage
ment specialist.
Correcting working height Of
tubs and tables will add to COM
fort through correct posture.
Tubs should be high enough to
permit bending from hips only.
Top edges of the tubs should be
about five inches higher then the
table top, which is almost Al
inches for person of average
height.
II the bench under wash tubs
is too low, it can be raised to
the correct height by placing
blocks under the legs.
Home laundry equipment
should be so arranged as to make
the sequence of work possible
with a minimum number of steps.
A table used for sorting soiled
clothes will eliminate much stoop-
ing, as well as getting the clothes
more dirty on the foor. A tub

but with new meanings as Jesus

nonsense.
But the fact II that even after
you got your perfect social sys-
tenn. with perfect politics and
perfect distribution Of wealth,
even . perfect climate and soil,
You would still be nowhere near
the Ideal World unless you Inn
proved your people.
The wrong kind Of people will

we find Jesus talking not about sys.

(The word translated Blessed" is
regular Greek word for "happy.")
But the main difference between
different kinds Of people is not that
some want to be happy while others
do not; rather it Is that they are
made happy by different kinds Of
things.
Jesus ideal people are humble,
not proud; they see their sins and
are sorry for them; they are

brave enough to do what is right not
only when it is comfortable and

Is to learn how to be a citizen Of
such a world. Jesus used two in.

the kind Of people he means. You

Salt and light are old-fashioned

machine and a basket or laundry
cart to hold the clothes will per-
NIT a continuous working ar
cangement.
A work table adjacent to the
ironing board will serve for
sprinkling and folding, as well as
a place for ironed linens. A
clothes rack and hangers at hand
are convenient for hanging
clothes as they are ironed.
Much of the STOPPING, bending
and stretching that makes wash
day so tiresome can be eliminated
by having a really good clothes
line and miscellaneous equipment.
Get clothesline of good rope or
galvanized wire, clothes basket,
clothespin bag and good clothes
pins.
If the basket is placed on a
coaster wagon or stand about ID
inches high fitted with movable
casterss much energy is saved
avoiding lifting and carrying the
basket, then STOPPING to get each
piece from the basket.
Good posture for ironing is i'm
portant. The most important point
about the ironing board is height.
Plan carefully for the praper
height when constructing a built
in ironing board. Remember that
standing is fatiguing even with
proper height, so consider the
possibility Of adjusting the board
and a stool for ironing while seat

busting Efficiency
Look over several types of
equipment before purchasing a
busting brush, dust pan or a
vacuum cleaner, advises Miss
Eva Legett, Extension specialist
in consumer education.
In brushing up floors, long
handled dust pan and a push
broom are recommended instead
Of a common short handled dust
pan and a dust brush. Long
handles save back bending
Before buying a vacuum clean
err, try it out to see whether the
handle is the right length for COM
Portable use.
Since the vacuum cleaner is an
important purchase, learn before
buying about the different types,
their price rangs and their speci-
fic functions. Compare several
for efficiency, durability
and convenience.
The following points about
vacuum claners may prove help
full. First, the efficiency Of a
cleaner depends on both suction
and air flow High suction is Of
ten over stressed, as practically
any machine has enough suction
to draw away loosened dirt.
A high speed motor does not
always mean higher suction. The
design of the fan, its size and the
design of the fan chamber are also
important in creating suction.
Find out whether the motor is
sealed in" This eliminates need
for oiling.
. Look over the cleaning tools,
and see whether they will take
care of the needs for which a
cleaner is to be purchased.
Services and replacement parts
are an important consideration.
These should be readily available
if and when needed.
Terms of the guarantee which
comes with the machine should be
considered.
