their sights on this kind Of thing
ever since wars end Courts
have agreed that these are
proper subjects for collective
bargaining. Danger is that un-
ions winning such cont tract
benefits drop out of the larger
fight for enlarged government
social security.
\kETH layoffs spreading, labor
w must now pick up a job that
was shelved in the fall of 1945.
Federal = TIA tie unemployment
benefits urgently need to be in
creased, both in the weekly
amount paid the jobless worker
and in the number of weeks he
gets such benefits. And they
need to be extended to some Z
million or more workers not
now covered.
But this il only part of the
coming battle. What if the crash
comes this spring-as it very
we'll could-COngress and state
legislatures have done almost
nothing to prepare for this by
setting up a backlog Of works
projects. Labor must insist on
such a back-log-quickly. And
SO must the entire progressive
movement.
We've been too slow in catch
ing the meaning of headlines on
the financial page and of
steadily growing layoffs in the
shops. It's time to get hep-and
move into action. The time left
before the Big Bump may be
shorter than we think.
Eyebrows went up at the
news that he late George L.
Berry left an estate of $75O,OOO.
Berry, once a US. Senator, was
president of the Printing Press

he do it?
Married women workers in

women workers, 100000 to
100000. In 1910. more single
women were employed.

Review by Eaton
fContinasd from tsrst paasl

Continued from first paOs)
too-in Stephen Crane. and Zola, and
other realists." Then along came the
plays Of George Bernard Shaw. 1--WE
knew there was something in these
plays, though we-~didn't know just
what it was
Mr.. Eaton recalled high moments
in famous plays: the entrance Of the
Marquis Of steyne (Gee5ke Ariiss) in
Becky Sharp" Richelieu Edwin
Booth in the red robes of q Cardinal,
amid black-clad courtiers, calling
down a curse; the falling of the
wounded highwayman'E blood on the
sherifF's handkerchief, through ]
crack in the loft floor, just as the
"Girl Of the Golden West" blanche
Bates) had persuaded the sheriff to
give up the search for the highway
man and go away; and the body Of
Hamlet (Forbes Robertson) being
borne through the door and disappear
ing into the moonlight.
These were moments when, as Mr..
Eaton put it, a tingle ran up and
down your spine. And 50 vivid did he
make the actors words, and the
scenes, that the several score of
spines in the Bulls Head Bookshop
audience tingled in ecstatic response.
The sentiment and the heroics of
the plays Of the 1905 and 1905 are
looked back upon as having in them
large measure of absurdity, but
some Of these plays had their good
points too. Mr.. Eaton. well aware of
how emotion can be oyerdone, is just
as well aware of how the scorn for
it can also be overdone. In the closing
minutes of his talk he made it plain
that he was a bit fed up with realism.
He spoke of the lack of emotional
warmth in realistic plays, mentioning
What Price Glory" as one exception.
Most of my memories are of non
realistic plays" he said, "and, spe-
cially, of the emotional effects created
by actors" Paraphrasing Swinburne,
he yentured the opinion that "the
world is growing gray with realism.
"The realistic drama has about
run its course. There are other things
to be said now"

Book Review
By Marion Curtis

Most of the book budget of the Kodiak Community Library is being used to build up a col lection of chiIdren's books. Purchases thus far, added to
 the many books donated from home libraries, make fairly re spectable juvenile section. The
 books are beng used increasingly and the circulation of chlldren's
 books is nearly equal to that of
 adult works.
 Among the new juvenile books
 may be found many old classics
 in bright new editions: the Jun- gle Books, Captains Courageous,
 Peter Pan, Little Black Sambo, Pinnochio, Adventures of 8 Brownie, Tale of Peter Rabbit, Huckleberry Finn.
 s me of the o hers: McElli. got's Pool, Rootabaga Stor es. The Black Stallion Returns,
 Shasta of the Wolves, Romany Luck, Ii Lun. Lad of Courage. Millions of Cats Honk the Moose and The Cat who went to Heaven
 AID order has been placed for books especially suited t" Junior
 High Scho l pupils, who thus far
 have been rather slighted in con-
 parlson with their younger brc
 thers and sisters
