Council and Mass Meeting Of Consumers Make Substtutons

Chas. E. Sebold, Rabbi Emanuel

Mrs. Lolita Tyvand.
All Unions and Consumers should
protest the appointment of the Wash
ington nominations and if further
recommendations are to be made such
recommendations should go in with
the protest.
This committee will be of greatest
Importance to the Consumer. Retail
ers are already setting prices on foods
and commodities, determining their
wi costs and profits without consid-
ering the consumer and wage Garner.
1t is only through the Consumer Coun-
ell that the Consumer can get rep
r%esentation at those hearings. Pro-
test now and protest loudly. Demand
that the makeup of that committee
represents you rather than the Cham

NEW NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ac-
cumulates that the standard of living
of the American people during the last
two months of the first year of the
New Deal was distinctly lower than
during the last two months of the
Hoover regime.
The headlines blaring sales increas-
es are based on increased prices and
the volume of goods sold at retail
the best measure Of the standard Of
living available-is actually less than
it was in the blacklist months of the
Hoover era.
Even the Democratic New York
Times has been forced to admit this
in the following comment on its bust
ness page:
1.-THE gain of 16 per cent in depart
ment store sales last month was made
possible by an advance of about 25
per cent in prices over the year. The
loss in unit volume was therefore
about z per cent, which means that Z
per cent less merchandise was sold
than last year, when unemployment
was at a peak and the banking situa-
ton at its crisis.
"a chain store increase of 10 per
cent shows an even greater loss in ac-
tual merchandise sales. Only the mail
order houses as a group are enjoying
dollar increases above the advance in
prices over IL months.
"This is the situation at a time
when full advances in the wholesale
markets have yet to appear at the
retail counters. In a few weeks mems
clothing will be offered at an increase
of 80 per cent over a year ago and
retailers are more than worried over
what is going to happen"
Those figures relate to the two
months in which the maximum Of
CWA payments were boosting retail
sales-and just before 4,000,0 900 were
to be dropped from CWA rolls.
They give a picture of the result Of
the fight that Wall Street forces have
been making for the four depression
years in favor of an economy of scar
city as opposed to an economy Of
abundance. Plowed-up cotton and
wheat (less clothing and food}, soar
ing interest payments and soaring
profits, initiation driving prices high
err while the people eat less food and
wear less clothes-this is the economy
of scarcity.
Wall Street, backing an economy of
scarcity, supports certain projects: l,
The Bankhead bill which would only
allow 10 million bales of cotton to be
ginned. 2. The lowest possible re-
lief disbursements short of revolt (and
many prefer payments to soldiers
rather than to relief, holding revolt

with the Chamber of Commerce, En-

Air Mail.
The handling of air mail in army
equipment is still commanding head
lines, and the subject seems to have
unlimited possibilities for heated de-
bate. Two weeks ago, my readers
will remember, | demanded whether
it was too much to ask that army fly
ers tackle the humdrum problem of
dependable straight flying before the
tailspins and sideslips of warfare,
and | am glad to find support coming
from Gen. William Mitchell, former
chief of the Army Air Corps. In his
letter of March 10 addressed to Sem
ator Hugo l.. Black he said: "The
people of the United States had the
right to expect that the Army Air
Corps could fly the air mail with ease,
because conditions of war will be more
trying-while it is very distressing
that the lives of our brave pilots have
been lost, think of what would have
occurred to the lives of millions of
our innocent population who would be
mercilessly annihilated in the next
conflict if these facts had not been
uncovered. Our national defense,
possibly u existence are really at
stake. We might have continued on
in blissful ignorance if it had not been
for the courageous move of our Pre-
sident."
1t is also interesting to know hal
he blames the accidents on lack Of
proper equipment, which further
proves my contention Of two weeks
ago; but he goes even beyond that in
placing the blame: ut is a fact that
much the same groups that have OBJ
tanned our mail contracts by collision
and fraud control the supply of all
craft and military equipment. 1t is
they who are responsible for the poor
equipment of our military fliers."
While on this subject l should like
to mention the fact that although the
National Parks Always was includ-
ed in the list of cancelled contracts
it is to the eternal credit of this con
Germ that it was not involved in these
fraudulent dealings.

LABOR BOARD
NOTES
IBy Federated Pressl

WASHINGTON-It makes a lot of
difference how big the corporation is
that the national labor board deals
with. In a decision March 9, the
board ordered the Hall Baking Co. to
bargain collectively with the bakery
drivers union. The board interpreted
the word Representatives" in Section
Ia of the recovery act to apply not
merely to officers of the union as in
dividuals, but to the union itself as
representative of the workers.
But in the Captive" mine case, the
board ruled that U. S. Steel and
other steel companies did not need to
recognize the union but merely to
deal with union officials as individ-
uals. U. s. Steel is bigger than the
Hall Baking Co. of Buffalo.
The national labor board will not
hold a referendum in the Illinois mine
fields to determine whether coal dig
gers prefer the United Mine Workers
or the Progressive Miners. The in
dependent unions request for such an
election has been turned down also
by the divisional labor board in Chi
cago and the national coal labor board.
The decision of w. H. Davis, ma
tional compliance director, to bar 800
strikers from the election to be held
in the Budd Mfg. Co.'S plant in Phila-
delphia was too raw even for Gen.
Johnson. He has ordered the election
postponed 10 days while he considers
