WAR STAMP SALES
PASS s5O,OOO,OOO MARK MIDDLE
OF FEBRUARY.
Increasing Stream of Small Savings
Daily Add to L. S. Treasury Re-
ceipts, Says Official Report.
CU. S. Official Bulletin.l

Treasury receipts from the sale of
war savings stamps passed the $780,
600 900 mark recently, and they are
now running at the rate of S11 100000
a week. The sales for December were
s10,236,451, for January they rose to
24,559, 1872, while February sales to
making a total of $50, $780, ,343.
Millions of war savers, organizing
into war savings societies in every
county in the United States, in Homo
lulu, Alaska, the West Indies, and in
Buenos Aires and other South Ameri-
can cities, are converting their small
savings into 25-cent and S5 govern
ment securities and pouring funds into
the treasury war chest at the rate of
s1,5OO,O0O to s2,5OO,OOO day.
Savings Bank Deposits.
Savings bank deposits in the past
few years have been increasing at an
average rate of S20O,OOO,0OO a year,
or about 100000 a business day, and
a million a day is the highest rate of
growth ever reached by the savings
banks. The treasury war savings fig
ures show that the American people,
after subscribing to billions of war
loans and giving hundreds of mil
lions to the Red Cross and other war
relief, are putting their small savings
at the service of the nation thru war
savings stamps at a rate far in ex-
cess of pre-war savings bank accum-
ulations.
Two billion dollars of the war saw
ings securities will be issued by the
secretary of the treasury. If these
are all sold this year, the treasury
will receive about 81 $50, 900, 600. and
at the end of five years (January /,
1929 the government will repay the
loan to the holders Of the war saw
ings certificates, together with $780,
100000 in interest.
Stream Large and Increasing.
The increasing stream Of small saw
ings coming into the treasury from
the buyers Of savings stamps, while
not yet commensurate with the great
cost Of the war. is nevertheless very
large as compared with pre-war stand
ards Of national finance. These stamp
savings are now running at a rate dou-
bic the total receipts Of the postoffice
department and double the customs
receipts before the war. The sales
are in excess of the total interest pay
meuts to the holders of railroad bonds,
in excess Of the average new capital
expenditures for railroad development,
and equal TO the entire cost of run
ming the government ten years ago.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 25.-
William Blackman, director of labor
for the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
has issued the following full state
ment of the present labor and ship
building situation as it affects the
business of the country:
This war can be won thru the con-
struction this year by the United
States and her allies of 9,S00,000 tons
of shipping. This amount will not
only overcome the submarine losses,
but will also leave the margin neces-
sary to care for the transportation
of l 100000 American troops and sup
plies overseas.
Partial relief, but in a military
sense only, is being obtained thru the
limiting of imports, and the transfer
of ships to army use from the less
vital import trades. Under the Presi-
dents order, this work is now being
undertaken by joint organization on
the part of the shipping board and the
war trade board. While raw mate
rials, absolutely necessary to supply
the country's vital necessities, will, of
course, be permitted to enter our
ports, it is now necessary to reluc-
family but drastically curtail the i'm
portation of supplies for the manu-
facture of on-essentials-this to en-
able the shipping used for this trade
to be released for war purposes.
Depends Upon Labor.
"In spite of this method for obtain
ing partial relief, the only real answer
to the problem is ship construction.
This construction not only depends for
its success upon labor, but the very
life of labor itself depends on this
constructiou-this because 100000
men are employed in the manufac-
turing plants Of the United States to-
day, Of whom 100000 are working
on war materials and subsidiary indus
tries alone. An Of these men are
threatened with forced shut downs
and these shut downs are absolutely
inevitable unless the ships are built.
Even the trades directly manufactur-
ing war supplies and the muuition
plants themselves face limitation Of
their output.
This is plain on its face. for not
only are the ports and docks jammed
with supplies for overseas, but there
are. in the seacoast terminals alone
more than 10000 freight cars loaded
with supplies for Europe-literally
mountains Of materials for which there
is insufficient shipping tonnage.
NO greater surplus Of supplies can
possibly be permitted to accumulate
in these ports even though the esti-
mated amount of war supplies needed
this year for overseas shipment will
total $500. 600 tons.
Jobs of 100000 at Stake.
There is but one thing ahead-a
forced slow down in American factor
les until the ships are built,
The situation is one in which not
only the nation is vitally interested,
but one which strikes at the very heart
OF labor itself. Interruptions TO busi-

VIOLATE FOOD LAW
CAMPBELL-SELLS BAKING co.
SUMMONED BEFORE BOARD.
Trust Bakeries Are After the Dollar
Regardless of Welfare of Nation;
Patronize Union Bake Shops.

Charged with placarding the town
with red, white and blue posters false
ly purportinC to carry the approval
of the United States food administra-
ton, and with having violated the gov
ernment's order regarding the use of
substitutes for wheat flour in their
bread, Representatives of the Camp
bell-Sells Baking Company and the
Macklem Baking Company, owned by
Stephen knight, one Of the directors
of j. X. Mullen's flour mills, We're sum
moned for a hearing at the offices of
the state food administration Monday.
After stormy session Executive
Manager Robert J Grant of the food
administration announced that he
would take the matter up with the
food administration at Washington.
1t is understood. however, that the
food administration in Colorado al
ready has the power to close the
Campbell Sells plant # it desires. In
the meanwhile the offending bakery
will be allowed TO do some sweating" !"
as one food administration official eN-
pressed it
Some time ago the company began
the circulation of red, white and blue
placards containing among other
things, the following statement:
agreeable to all laws and rulings of
both federal and state food admins
trations. They are for resale and use
any time or any day in the week,
wheatless days and wheatless meals
included"
At the foot of the card appeared
the line, "Approvcd by the United
States Food Administration"
Monday morning Executive Man
ager Grant served vehement notice to
the company that the card would have
to be withdrawn absolutely from cir
culation anywhere in the state of Colo
RADIO.
The other charge against the bakery
is that instead of using 12 per cent
substitutes for wheat flour in the max
ing of its Victory hread-which was
the percentage required at the time
the alleged violations We're perpe-
trated-the bakery used s per cent.
Beginning Monday all bakers will
be required to use ut least 20 per cent
substitutes in making Victory bread

ness and consequent loss of earnings
to the employe will recur, or at least
production will be retarded-with the
same result-until we have shipping
adequate to the task of clearing port
congestion.
For this reason then, the welfare
of all labor, both organized and unor-
ganized to the extent of some 13,000,-
900 people now employed is at stake
in the shipyards.
"The coalless day and the freight
embargo have already had a tremen-
dous effect upon labor thruout the
country, and the additional force of the
coming necessary curtailment of raw
material importation will also fall
heavy upon labor within the next few
weeks.
Would Mean a Lockout.
at is only thru shipyard labor that
relief to labor thruout the nation can
come. Therefore, uncalled for strikes,
not only threaten the safety of our
armies in France, but the very heart
of labor itself thru the reduction in
employment which is faced by millions
of men not engaged directly in ship
yard work.
For this reason a shipyard strike
is in effect a lockout aimed at all
labor in the country and threatens the
very life of organized labor itself.
The peak load requirement for
shipyard workers will be 500 900 men.
On these men depend the ability of
other labor to obtain steady employ
ment In other words, if q group of
shipyard workers tie up the shipyards
or fail to give a full days work not
only will the resulting stoppage of
each mans work tie up from fifteen
10 twenty other yard workers and
throw them out Of employment, but
this stoppage will also affect the di-
rect employment Of the 100000 war
workers as well as the employment Of
the entire 1900 600 workers rhruout
the country.
Agreement With the Navy.
Because of this fact. the labor lead
ers Of the country. including Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, have entered
into an agreement with the navy de-
partment, the shipping board and the
Emergency Fleet Corporation for the
prevention Of strikes-au agreement
which has been kept with scrupulous
care by its signers and enforced by a
board, the very personnel Of which in
sures fairness.
Il wish. therefore, now that the
President has personally taken action
in the carpenters strike 10 point out
TO employees and to the members of
organized labor thruout the country,
that their own interesrs are vitality
at stake in this shippir- matter. and
that the whole force OF their mighty
influence must for their own protec-
ton be used to keep the shipyards
running full time and block any at
tempt to paralyze the nations business
thru strikes. and trust the labor ad-
justment board to deal fairly with
them"
