growth of the prestige of organiz-
ed labor's press.
However, many an expert labor
editor is still struggling under the
handicaps that go with being inde-
pendent and uncensored by the re-
dictionaries. There just isn't enough
money being spent by most trade
unions on their periodicals. Partly,
this is inevitable because very few
national advertisers have the inn
agination and initiative to pur-
chase advertising space in labor
publications. And the publications
that, for policy reasons, carry no
advertising are competing with
magazines and dailies that take in
thousands of dollars a day for
every page of advertising. they
print.
The greatly increased sums be-
ing voted by many far-sighted in
ternational unions for hiring pro-
fessional newspaper men and wo-
men, and for making their papers
read by every union member and
his family (including the kids is
evidence that progress is being
made.
The pay-off will come in 1850,
when the issues of the national
and local elections will be spread
out for every union member to
read, in his own publication. The
size of the vote, and the degree of
commitment to Fair Deal detectives
that will be represented by the men
elected, will be the true measure
of the new stature of the labor
press.

and technique. Industrial and tech
nical progress has never been sus-
tanned where these pressures were
absent and labor was cheap and
weak in bargaining power. In a
very real sense, increases in pro-
ductivity are as much a product of,
as they are the occasion for, high
wages over the long run. The in
trusion of wage levels on profit
margins in competitive industries
is a strong factor in inducing in
dustry to invest in more efficient
and productive facilities to protect
it's margin, and it assures an ex-
panding market for the increased
output. Industry tends to stagnate
where wage levels are static and
margains are guaranteed"

Lehman'S Victory
Vinaieation OF
Fair Deal Program

New York LPA)-With mem
bers of the AFL, the CIO, the Rail
Brctherhoods and the Machinists
leading the march to the polls, the
citizens of New York state elected
ex-Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, a
Democrat, to the Senate and gave
incumbent Sen. John Foster Dulles
a powerful shove toward political
oblivion. Lehman's margain was
217,C00 with about 5,0C0,0C0 vot-
ing.
Lehman, who had the additional
support Of the labor-led Liberal
party, gained the first statewide
Democratic victory since the Pres
idential elections Of 1914. By elect
ing him, the voters may have given
Gov. Tom Dewey, two-time aspir-
ant to the White House, a push to-
ward oblivion too, because of the
latter's active campaigning for
Dulles.
In New York city, Mayor Will
lam +. O'Dwyer, running for re-
election with the regular Demo-
cratic backing of Tammany Hall
and the support of large sections
cf the AFL and the state CIO, re-
ceiyed 100000 more votes than his
chief opponent, Newbold Morris,
who ran under Republican-Liberal-
Fusion banners. Morris, was sup
ported by the Int'l Ladies Garment
Workers Union and many others.
Rep. Vito Marcantonio of the red
tinted American Labor Party fin
ished a poor third.
Upstate New York municipal
elections showed the extent of
labor's new-found political power.
Syracuse voters returned Demo-
cratic mayor for the first time in
"a years. Binghamton, Geneva,
Port Jervis, Rome, Cortland, Ithaca
and Hudson, all traditionally Re-
publican, also will have Democratic
and New York City's five
boroughs will have Democratic
presidents.
Mrs. Edna Kelly, Democrat,
became Brooklyn's first woman
Congressman when she defeated
her Republican opponent by two to
one in the 10th congressional dis
trict in the race for the seat made /
vacant by the death of Rep. An
drew l.. Somers.
The Democrats won "a of the 25
seats on the New York City Coun-
Gil. The 25th was gained by Liber-
Stanley Isaacs, who
had considerable labor support.
Most controversial seat on the
Council was that formerly held by |
Ben DavisI one of the IL Commun-
lists convicted for conspiring to
teach the oveFthrow of the US gov
ernment. Davis was roundly thump-
ed by Earl Brown, a reporter for
Life magazine, in a campaign |
fought out in Harlem. Brown, an
independent Democrat with Liber-
al and Republican support, is a !
Negro as is Davis.
National attention centered on
the Lehman-Dulles battle, which !
was viewed across the nation as
front-line test of President Tru-
mans Fair Deal. Describing the
FAIR Deal as "statism", Dulles
IaShed out at the welfare state
and introduced bigotry into the
Lehman repeatedly de-
nounced the Taft-Hartley act, and
backed the Fair Deal almost 100 /
per cent. The people of New York
state had their choice. They chose
the Fair Deal.
Actually, it was New York City
which made Lehman's election pos
'ible. Dulles piled up lead of |
'66,0C0 in the upstate counties de-
ipite Democratic victories in the
'lties. But Lehman had lead of
$4,000 in the metropolis.

CLOTHING FOR EUROPE.


(From Washington Work Room.)
In response to questions in the
column from time to time as to
what to do with old clothes, may
I say that the Quaker Clothing
Relief Workroom is open for the
winter season and any garments
for either sex and any age will be
very welcome. They will be care
fully repaired or made over if nee
essary. Word comes from Quaker
center in European countries that
there is still great need especially
among refugees and displaced per-
sons. One worker writes, II wish
you could see by television the joy
your shipments bring and the in
creased faith and courage because
Of the friendliness they express. "
The Was shington Workroom,
thanks to many people, including
readers Of the RICH, has been able
to send over Ill tons Of clothing.
Sometimes I see request as to
how people with extra time on
their hands can be occupied. They
will be very welcome in the sew
ing groups that meet Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday during
the day and Thursday evening in
the Meeting House. Knitting ma
terials and mending can be OBJ
tanned for work at home. Mrs.
John G. Barrow Is chairman of

JACKSONVILLE.

fFron, Mrs. r. G.. Falls Church,
Some time ago read q request
for information about Jackson
vile, Fla. Perhaps I missed Z
reply (though I don't know how
I could but I haven't seen one.
If it isn't too late. I'd like to offer
a few words about q place as
nice as Jacksonville and 1t might
be of some help.
Climate: It's superb. From
right now until after Christmas
is the ideal time. A suit is suffl-
cient when going out. January
and February are the cold months.
and they aren't really cold.
From March on into summer
(June) it Is beautiful. The sum-
mers can be quite hot, but NOT
quite as bad as Washington.
There are several beaches 1s miles
away. and many swimming pools.
AS for housing, 1t isn't bad atsall
now. Apartments. homes for
rent and for sale can be had.
Murray Hill, Arandale, Riverside,
Oxega and South Jacksonville are
the nicer residential sections.
Shopping facilities are more than
adequate. The downtown district
offers everything and there's 8
shopping center in each COM
munity. Schools are very good
and not as crowded as in most
places. The people are very
friendly. Transportation is good
with bus service to all parts Of
the city. plus 10-cent takes.
During the war the population
increased rapidly, in fact so rap
idly the older residents didn't
quite keep up with the pace. AS
a result, you find a rather small
town feeling and atmosphere in
a rather large city.
I hope this may answer. a few
of your questions. and that your
stay there is a long and pleasant
one. If there are specific ques-
tions you'd like answered, just
write to me through the RICH and
I'll be glad to answer them.

BOYS DUNGAREES;
TO WHIP EGG WHITES

fFron1 Mrs. E. F. B., Washington.) }
Here are several suggestions for
patching knee breaks In little
boys dungarees. Instead of re-
lying on new material I find the
patches less conspicuous If made
Of denim that has been used.
Sometimes it is practical to rip
OF one Of the hip pockets. 1t is
sometimes a good idea to buy the
dungarees Cor other cotton trous-
ers) extra long. Cut off the excess
length and save for future con-
tingencies. Also I have found it
a good idea to save an old dis
carded pair to cut up for mend
ing. Corduroys and some OF the
twills are more or less standard
in colors and can often be used
to good advantage in this way.
One old pair makes q lot of
patches and a neatly mended knee
does no little boy any harm to his
pride
In whipping egg whites, try
taking the eggs out Of the refrig-
orator q little ahead, so that they
are not too cold. Also. of course,
you know that they have to be
reasonably fresh and be kept free
Of fat in any form, which included
particles Of the yolk. They
should beat up as thick as you
desire, either by hand or with an
electric beater.

Fence Case Due
In Local Court

Judge William A. Hunt, Com
mon Pleas court, has granted
leave to julius H. Naft, Route 2,
until May 25 to file answer to the
petition of the village council
which several months ago asked
the court to enjoin Mr.. Naft from
obstructing a public street.
In its original suit, the city
asked that Mr.. Naft be enjoined
from obstrueting the street and
that heavy fences which he has
placed around his wrecking yard
be removed.
Naft has contended that his
deed grants him ownership of the
former Route 2 roadway, while
the council contends that the road
was never abandoned and that Mr..
Naft has no right to block the
road with his fences.
City Solicitor George Slaughter,
when questioned by councilmen on
Tuesday night as to progress OF
the case, stated that the city can
do nothing further until the court
takes further action.
