1ST QUARTER TRAFFIC FATALITIES LOWER

CHICAGO, May 29 (U, P.).—~The nation's traffic death toll averaged less during the first quarter of 1945 than in the corresponding period of last year, the national safety council reported today. The {fatality rate for March and April, however, was about 3 per cent higher than for the same two months in 1944. This year's April (traffic deaths totaled 1800. Increased mileage, which rose 4 per cent during January, February and March of this year over the 1944 period, was. credited as one of the reasons for the increase.

PAGE 9 Labor Union Headed By Dubinsky. Highly Lauded By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK, May 29.—“The International Ladies Garment

Workers union holds much the same position in the lavor field

- as Harvard university holds in the

educational field; -both are garded as respectable old institutions and wholesome influences.” So wrote Walter Davenport; reviewing a book, "Tailor's Progress,” by Benjamin Stolberg The book chronicled this union's stormy his« tory from its beginning in the sweatshops of 1900, “reflecting all the painful ' cross-currents . of America’s social ahd industrial revolutions.” > “The International Ladies Gare ment Workers union is far more than a trade union. It is also a welfare agency, an educational institution, a philanthropic society, and a kind of experimental station for the amicable adjust ment of industrial disputes.” This was the judgment of Herbert Harris in a book, “American Labor.”

re-

’

on n ” “A MODERN UNION," Mr. Davenport called it, and visitors to its headquarters on Broadway find no reason to argue. It has been suggested that legislators thinking about new national labor laws could get some igs) in this place. The union's members are miostly in New York, but many of the 310,000 members are in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleve-

“land, Chicago, St. Louis, Los An-

geles and San Francisco,

.“From its beginning, 50 vears ago,” the union says, “the story of the women's garment workers moves amid scenes of struggle and sacrifice, of nersistent devotion to ideas despite repeated setbacks. “We were pioneers in voluntary arbitration, industrial courts, joint sanitary boards, workers’ education, workers’ health care and unemployment insurance. We have always been a strong influence for stability and fair industrial practice.” ” s » THIS UNION, which 1s is epitomized in the dynamic personality of its president and secre-. tary-treasurer, David Dubinsky,

, does things that other labor or-

ganizations aspire to do and some

‘things which national authorities

say they should be forced to do.

In the former class it conducts a wide program of education and social work among its members; it trains them for leadership; it has won for them retirement at 65 with $600 a year for life; it has immeasurably improved their working conditions from the days of .the sweatshop.

In the latter class it gets out a statement of.finances on which a bank could hardly improve. with every dollar, locally and nationally, audited down to the last cent; it limits the salaries of its officials and‘ emplovees to minima that look small in this field: and it gets out an annual census of membership which is unusual in’ the American Federation of Lahor.
