Support Labor
Press Machinist
Publication Urges

Washington (LPA) = "How is
your lodge helping the labor
press?" That's the question put by
an editorial in The Machinist of
Nov 80.
The crack weekly of the Inter
national Association of Machinists
thinks the election results point up
the necessity of strengthening and
improving labor papers. 1t says "a
lot of union members go to the
polls and vote without sufficient
information about the candidates" !"
That information" should be sup
piled by labor's own publications.
It's not that anybody wants to
dictate how union members should
vote. The Machinist observes that
commentators for the commercial
press and radio "are gleefully
pointing out" that trade unionists
vote as they please. That's matt
er the commentators could have
discovered any time in the last so
years if they had taken the
trouble" says the lam organ.
Nevertheless, the paper con-
tinues, it looks as if union men,
bers in Ohio "were both confused
and misinformed" when they voted
for the reelection Of Senator Taft.
Moreover, the Ohio circumstances
seem to have been typical.
"The question before us is how
can the LAM and it's district and
local lodges do better job of in
forming our members about the is
sues and the candidates" The Ma
chinist wonders. The answers not
easy, it decides, "But one thing
every lodge can do is to give more
support to the labor paper" pub
lished in its own town.
And if that paper isn't any good,
the lam ought to change it, The
Machinist says. almost every
town" it says, "has local labor
paper. If that paper is readable, it
should be supported through sub
scriptions and financing so that it
can do better job. If it isn't any
good, then our lodges should try
to find out why it isn't and what it
will take to make it better"
ain most towns, the local labor
editor performs miracle by gett-
ing out any kind of paper at all on
the niggardly support he gets. If
he has the ability, he will do a
better job in proportion to the in
creased support he gets. If he can't
then he should be replaced by
someone with more or better pro-
fessional experience. In most
communities, the only way labor
will ever be able to tell it's own
story is through a labor paper.
Every lam lodge can help to
strengthen and improve the labor
paper in it's own home town. It's
time to talk to the local editor and
see what can be done"

same chapter shows the sweat shoE

The sixth chapter is entitled
|Lockout and Frameup" and tells
of the attempt to frame five lLGW
officers for murder in an effort by
employers to destroy the union
Other news in this chapter concerns
a lockout of 10000 in the garment
industry which was turned into a
strike by the walkout of an addl-
tional 10000 workers protesting
the lockout. A photograph shows
strikers lined blocks long to receive
their So weekly strike benefit"
Another great strike is describ-
ed in chapter seven. 1t is the strike
of 10000 cloakmakers in July 1926
which closed down every cloak
shop in Greater New York. A mile
stone in union history is also re-
ported in this chapter. 1t is the
opening of the 100000 Union
Health Center to give medical and
dental care to ILGWU members.
Many such health centers are now
operated by the union in all Sec
tions of the country.
1t was during this period from
192O-27 that the ILGWU had its
internal troubles with Communists.
The convention in Philadelphia in
1926 was marked by boiling left
lists and street fights were not un-
common between loyal ILGWU
members and connie adherents.
An editorial in Justice warned
American labor against allowing
Communist blackmail chiefs, or
such as serve their nefarious
schemes and purposes, to assume
positions of leadership in the trade
union movement"
Chapter eight, "Erom Dawn to
Darkness" tells the story of the re-
building of the union, after the loss
of a 26-week strike conducted by
the Communists. This campaign is
told in detail by David Dubinsky,
now ILGWU president, who was
then its secretary-treasurer.
Headlines top Chapter 10,

of strikes across the nation and a

There is also a full page of photos

cessful musical review by the
union.
"The War Years" are covered
in chapter IL. This chapter also
records the winning of the first

is devoted to present-day problems,
the establishment of FM radio
stations by ILGWU; a story by
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt about
Unity House, vacation camp for
members; and the making of a
movie about the union.

Union Asks u. s. Refuse
RECOGNITION Of Red Chino

II
detailed resolution outlining pro-
gram for United States support OF
democratic elements in China was
adopted here by the general execu-
tive board of the Upholsterers In
ternational Union. The board ask
ed continued u. S. refusal to recog-
nize Red China, opposition to a
Red China seat in the United Ma
tions and active aid in the streng-
thening of the Nationalist govern
ment on Formosa as a force for the
overthrow of the Russian puppets
in China.
The board asked that not only
should the U. S. oppose the seat
ing of new national delegations in
the United Nations unless they
qualify as peace-loving nations
properly fulfilling their interna-
tional obligations but that present
members judged guilty of aggress-
ion should be dropped and reinstat-
ed only on their qualification as
peace-loving and democratically
controlled governments.
"NO Single Panacea" Enough
Declaring that the very existence
of all free nations is threatened by
Communist aggression, the board
said:
"No single panacea, formula or
organization can alone successfully
meet this crisis. Nor can we rely
on armaments and defensive mea-
sures entirely. We must employ all
means at our disposal, defensive
and offensive, immediate and long
range"
The union referred its resolution
with request for concurrence to the
International Relations Committee
of the AFL and to the national
board of directors of Americans
for Democratic Action which Pres
ident Sal B. Hoffman, and officers
of the UIU helped found in 1947.
The resolution is substantially in
accord with the AFL policy of the
past in which the federation has
strongly advocated aid to National
list China and refusal to recognize
Communist Mao's regime.
However, the national board of
ADA last September urged that
the United States withdraw recog-
milton of the Chinese Nationalist
government except as de facto
government Of Formosa and if Red
China's government would stay out
of Korea and pledge to refrain
from forcing the Formosa issue bJ
military means, that the United
States should both recognize and
vote for seating of Communist
China.
While the Chinese Communist
government now has troops in
Korea and gives no assurance on
Formosa, President Hoffman,, one
of the union chiefs who are mem
bers of the national board of Am
ericans for Democratic Action by
action of his board, is expected to
press the lberal-labor coalition in
its first post-election meeting in
New York in December for adop-
tion of his resolution as in effect
a direct reversal of it's advocated
policy on China in the Far East.
Union Blocked ADA Stand
Upholsterers' Union delegates
with the help of the former Assist
ant Secretary of State Adolph Berle
prevented the ADA convention of
1850 from advocating withdrawal
of recognition from Nationalist
China. The union pointed out then
that it maintained constant rela-
tions with the Free China Labor
League in Formosa, last nucleus
of free China labor movement on
Chinese soil and surrender of For
mosa meant death for their asso-
ciates upon capture by the Com
muniSts.

$10o,0OO Fund To
Support Harvard
Training Program

Washington, ID. &. (lLNS). -
Announcement of 100000 fund
to support Harvard University's
trade union training program and
in honor of Clinton S. Golden, labor
advisor to the Economic Coopera-
tion Administration, was interpret
ed by leaders in labor and manage
ment as a significant recognition
of the marked progress made in de-
veloping good labor management
relations during the last decade.
The announcement was also re-
ceived with enthusiasm by repre-
sentatives of labor and manage
ment from European countries who
have attended the advanced man
agement and the trade union pro-
grams of the Harvard Graduate
tended to his associate, said:
"This type of educational work,

and who have since been urging
establishment of similar courses in
European universities.
Work Expected To Go On
Bert M. Jewell, ECA labor ad-
valuable as it Is to improvement
of labor-management relations in
the United States, has been in
tensely interesting to the European
technical assistance teams that
have visited the United States.
When government funds are no
longer available for facilitating ex-
change of personnel between the
United States and Europe, we ex-
pect the educational institutions of
the country to carry on this work
for better international relations.
That is especially the hope of those
Independent and AFL railroad un-
ions that have been working with
diligence to establish better rela-
tions and better communications
with the railroad workers of Eu-
rope"
1T is gratifying" said Golden in
his office at &c headquarters in
Washington, "to realize that some
anonymous person appreciates
what we have been doing at Har-
yard to such an extent that he
gives 100000 to have the work
continued. This year we have $50

ed training in management and 81

ment relations.
Approach Amazes Europeans
y while this work is no longer
news many persons in the United
States, Europeans ia king the
courses have been amazed at the
way this approach to laborman-
agement understanding works
the absence of social or economic
b. tween the two
groups, the free and frank discus
sions, the conviction that solutions
to economic and industrial problems
must serve the interest of the pub
lie as we'll as industry and labor.
This approach is not unique to
Harvard; many other institutions,
practical as we'll as academic, have
similar programs. All of them, in
my opinion, are showing the world
how free institutions can work to-
gether to defeat the efforts of So
Wet Communism to enslave the
world"

video 'Ad Appealing TO Glass
Consciousness Widely Denounced

New York (LPA) - That tele-
vision advertisement, the one show
ing the little boy and girl who are
unhappy because they don't have a
television set, drew heavy fire from
a dozen quarters.
The ad, the first of series, was
sponsored by the 1850 American
Television Dealers & Manufactur-
ers. Parents were urged to buy
television sets to save their child
rem from embarrassment and
humiliation. "There are o m e
things a son or daughter won't
TELL" the ad said.
Horrible" said Mrs. Franklin
ID. Roosevelt, widow of the late
President. Mrs. Roosevelt said she
had ordered permission to use her
name in subsequent displays with
drawn pending approval of the con-
text in which it was to appear.
"Cruel pressure" and "unmitigat-
ed nonsense, said the Family Ser
vice Association of America. Other
consumer, religious and education
al groups voiced their Indignation.
Much of the storm revolved
around the aging head Angelo
Patri, newspaper columnist touted
as an expert in child psychology.
Part of the ad was statement by
Patri in which he said:
youngsters today need tele-
vision for their morale as much as
they need fresh air and sunshine
for their health. :. To have tele-
vision is to be cock of the walk.
Not to have it, well, that is un-
thinkable."
Unthinkable or not, the Provid-
ence Or. ID Evening Bulletin
promptly dropped Patri's column,
saying readers had protested his
endorsement of an "inferiority
complex" theme among children.
Patri himself tried to turn back the
fee he'd taken for allowing his
name to be used, but the advertis-
ing agency of Ruthrauf & Ryan,
which handled the ad, advised him
not to. 81 will never advertise any
thing for anybody any more," said
Patri.
S. J. Schwinn, a Ruthrauf g.
Ryan executive, admitted the ad
was "out Of bounds" but may not
have been prepared for the spank
ing he received from the advertis-
ing profession. Tide Magazine,
organ of the advertising business,
called the ad "a body blow Ito ad-
vertising), the toughest it has had
in a long time" Meanwhile, the
radio phase of the television cam
paign was featuring the sobs of
video-less little children, a Tide
spokesman said.
In Washington, the letter col
umns of the staidly conservative
Evening Star and the moderate
morning Post carried communica-
tions denouncing the ad. One read
er said he had been thinking of
buying a television set but had
given the idea up. The Star vir-
tuaIly apologized for having run
the ad in the first place.
When the second ad appeared
Nov. 20, it included statement by
Mrs. Roosevelt stressing televis-
ions educational potentialities. She
emphasized that parents should
supervise what their children see
and hear on television but did not
suggest that the children of tele-
vision-less home would be social
outcasts. Neither did the rest of
the ad.

the material. When the fabric is
plain, trimming is often used.
Lace is threaded with silver or
gold, taffeta may be embroidered.
The designers do many beauti-

embroidered or appliqued on. One
pretty taffeta skirt has Schif11i-

figures embroidered in gold on
taffeta is another looking
device.
Color is important in all parts
