Gauls hear
labor leader
Trainor discusses labor
unions for barb group
Robert Trainor, an authority on
labor conditions, spoke at a ban
quet sponsored by the Gauls club
Monday. Trainor, who was head
of the motor vehicle department of
Wisconsin for a number of years
and leader in a branch of the
A. F. of L., brought out that labor
unions were responsible for many
of the social reforms in the United
States. He explained how the
A. F. of L. is organized as a fed
eration of individual groups, each
one having autonomy.
Civil service has caused a reduc

employes in the government, thus

than the cost of administering the
system. According to Trainor, Ne

Through a letter received by'
the editor of the Daily Nebraskan,
it was learned today that all stu
dents and faculty members wno
wish to give direct aid to the Brit
ish cause may do so by contribut
ing small arms and binoculars for
use in home defense.
The letter was issued by The
American Committee for Defense
of British Homes and urged co-operation
of the university rifle team
in aiding with solicitation of con
tributions of aims and binoculars.
According to the letter, the com
mittee is "an organization whose
objective is the collections of small
arms for the use of British civil
ians in defense of their lives and
property in event of invasion. No
less important than the defense of
British homes is the defense or

are homes to many of the nation's
future leaders."

Magician caught
in draft-Union
program vanishes
The invisible man was drafted!
Dozens of methods for evading
the draft have been publicized, but
if a magician can't get himself out
of it, who can?
The deal is this: Stewart
Cramer, magician who was under
contract to appear in the Union
Sunday to give an illustrated lec
ture on magic, was caught up by
Uncle Sam in the draft, and will
not be able to keep his appoint
ment.
Let that be a lesson to all the
ordinary guys who try to think of
good excuses when their number
is drawn binder the selective J5erv-
ice program.
