HENDERSON, IN. CO. DAILY DISPATCH

tees should be removed
Government Warns Labor Crust
Just as some years ago the gov
eminent said to the utilities, eff you
refuse to cut rates we will go into
competition with YOU, the govern
ment is now saying to the unions,
IF you intend to monopolize labor
IN our trade we will foster compe-
tltion." This is very hopeful sign.
War or peace, we cannot have any
lasting prosperity in America if
costs-both for labor and materials
keep going up. We improve our stan
dard Of living by loWering-not in
Icreasing-
What does all this mean to con-
|sumers? 1t means that a long war
would boost your cost of living sub
|stantially. You would have to pay
higher prices for nearly everything
you buy. Keep this in the back of
your mind. However, now is not the
time to get panic-stricken and lay in
big supplies Of flour, sugar, and the
like. Our warehouses are bullying
with them. There will be plenty Of
opportunity to do this when we know
more about the war For the time
being, go about your business and
home purchasing in a normal way
Just as you would if there were
no war

ever, an attempt will be made to
prevent this. A postwar panic will
help no one. From present signs,
such a panic seems probable some
day-especially in Canada.
Shortage of Skilled Labor
Another price factor under war
time conditions is the supply Of skill
ed labor A shortage already exists
IN certain industries which are oper-
ating at all-time peaks, such as avia-
ton manufacturing, machine tool,
and machinery. By shortage, I mean
that the competent skilled workers
have been all snapped up. These
companies are now digging down into
the bottom Of the labor barrel and
are being forced to take on made
quately trained workers. This would
be a very serious situation of the
United States were involved in a
war. These three industries are the
backbone Of our army and our navy
One of the reasons why a shortage
lOf skilled men is developing is be-
cause Of union rules. Unions in the
past few years have refused to take
ION apprentices in their trades. They
have done this to keep down the
available supply of trained men and
thus artificially to peg their pay. In
fact, the government is becoming SO
IWOrried over this condition that it
is asking big industries voluntarily
