F. C. The new Wagner bill would require all persons and concerns re ceiving government contracts, loans, or grants, to comply with the National Labor Relations Act. It, F. C. board of directors admit ted, Brophy stated further, that more than $50,000 had been spent to break the strike called last August by Local 270, International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers at the San Jacinto tunnel, Banning, Calif., in protest against wholesale dismissal of union members. The R. F. C. disclaimed responsibility, he said, because the money spent for deputy sheriffs, tear gas and other materials, did r.ot actually come out of government funds. Brophy termed this a mere bookkeeping legalism. p, (Continued from Fage C) Murray declared. It is time that corporations like Steel Bethlehem Corporation Weirton Corporation, and their subsidiaries, accept the principles of collective bargaining and cease their interference with the free choice of representatives of their employes, and their practice of in dustrial espionage and company unionism. Certainly these companies anc employers in other industries who indulge in the same practices should not be subsidized by public money through Government contracts or loans in their violations of the Wagner Labor Act. The steel workers of this country will regard the enactment of this measure as a significant contribution to the development of the principles of collective bargaining." anti-Ne- w Page 7 not been forthcoming from government sources an adequate explanation of the need for additional naval and air forces.

In that we are unlike the darky who refused to pay the lawyers fee because he wasnt going to take the advice given. We pay and pay because we do not use effectively more than 75 per cent of the brain power we have. We lack surencss of know! edge as to how to use this great force. When we read of something which Helen Keller (the woman who has been blind and deaf from early childhood) has written revealing judgment and insight we marvel at it. We marvel because our judgments are based on what we have seen and heard and Tead as well hoped-fo- r 9, VASSAR STUDENTS SCORN BOYCOTT OF SILK STOCKINGS Margaret Park has exposed the silk boycott. She is a first class newspaper woman. She reports facts things as they really are. For the International Labor News Service, on a special assignment she investigated the silk stocking bonfire at Vassar and the slick publicity stunt upon which the whole Vassar episode was built. She has blown the roof off the whole high-brosilk boycott business. Vassar college students were not fooled by the bonfire stunt on their campus and they will continue to wear silk stockings, Miss Park found in her investigation. We like silk, Vassar girls told Miss Park, who reports student leaders oppose the boycott as detrimental to America and American labor. Miss Parker further says: I arrived in Poughkeepsie on a wintry Sunday night just as the students were returning to the dorfrom the week-enmitories Poughkeepsie on the Hudson river is famous as the home of Smith and of the Brothers cough-drop- s President.

This book would prove a great asset to every young man starting out in life and should be required reading in every high school. Not only is Andrew Carnegies experience with this formula of personal achievement detailed, but also experiences of 500 other men who from lowly estate rose to positions of power and influence by the right use of thoughts and organized plans. While the book deals largely with definite plans for improving ones financial status, the publisher plainly states: Riches cannot always be measured in money! Money and material things are essential for freedom of body and mind, but there are some who will feel that the greatest of all riches can be evaluated only in terms of lasting friendships, harmonious family relationships, sympathy and understanding between business associ-- ( Continued on Page 8) as felt.
