Value Of Labor Press

The value of the labor press
has become increasingly evident
with the passing of the years. No
one can longer question or de-
ete the effectiveness Of public
ity for any cause which depends
upon public opinion for support
and understanding. In the case
of organized labor we have had
the additional problem of being
& confronted with opposition from

Dishonest
Dangerous


Reports persist that some mer-
chants are telling customers that
increased prices of certain goods
are due to the new defense taxes,
although the amount of the tax
is in fact less than the amount
of the price increase.
That practice is not honest
and it is not safe. The Bureau
of Internal Revenue at Washing
ton has just warned that
Penalties of one year in Jail
and $1,000 fine may be levied if
merchants ascribe any part of
the price of an article to federal
taxes knowing that such a
statement is false or that the tax
is not so great as the portion of
such price ascribed to such tax"

 Judge William M. Councils decis- ion was greeted with cheers despite attempts of deputy sheriffs to keep order in the crowded courtroom. During the three-week trial Free man maintained he knew nothing about Barton's activities and thought him an insurance investiga- tor.
 Pawtucket and Providence police continued their search for Barton and his superior, Frank E. Bielaski, also of New York. Both men also are suspected of the wire-tapping done at Attorney General Louis V. Jackvony's home at Providence.

 IN RADIO HISTORY
Listener Now Convinced He Heard Portion of Ed-
 win C. Hill Broadcast

Edgartown, Mass, January 25. - (UP) - Captain Byron c. Browns s o s seemed destined today to find place in radio history alongside Orson Wells martian invasion of New Jersey.
 The retired army officer said he was convinced that 1t was fragment of Commentator Edwin O Hills newscast which he heard Tuesday evening when he precipi- tated a frantic search for Coast Guard and naval craft for a ship sinking with 147 persons aboard in Vineyard Sound.
 Browns arrest and conviction on a drunkenness charge climaxed the comedy of errors, but many of his fellow islanders on Martha's Vine yard believed he had made an hon. est mistake. E
 They told of hearing Hill describe the first radio distress call, exactly 31 years earlier. They said Hill de- scribed how this call was sent by the s. s. Republic after 1t was ram- med by the s. s. Florida. The acci- dent, in which 120 persons were saved and six lives lost, occurred only 40 miles from here.
 District Judge A. L. Braley will dispose of Browns drunkenness case Wednesday.
 New York, January 25. - (UP) = Edwin 0. Hills office said today that he did describe the historic sinking of the s. s. Republic in his regular news broadcast Tuesday evening and suggested that Captain Byror 0. Brown had tuned in the middle of it." The Columbia Broadcastine System said, however, that the Hil programs were not carried on short wave, the medium over which Brown claimed to have heard the broadcast.

COLDER WEATHER
 IN MANY SECTIONS
Cold Air Sweeps In From
 Canada - South Feels Effects
By United Press

New masses of cold air swept down from the Canadian northwest today, dropping temperatures still lower than the sub-normal levels around which the mercury has hov- cred for more than 8 week. { The U. s. Weather Bureau at Chicago reiterated its forecast of every day since the wave struck Jan. IA:
 "No relief in sight"
 The cold extended from the Can- adian border to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Coast.
 In Northern Montana, where the new cold mass entered the United States last night, the mercury dropped to 27 degrees below zero. Northern Minnesota points reported readings around IA and 16 below. Central Plains states, where there had been a moderation during the week, once more experienced tenn peratures from zero to 8 few de- grees above. Dixieland felt it too, with Alabama highways closed by hazardous traffic conditions and temperatures down to few degrees above zero.
 The cold threatened severe dam- age to l940 crops. It imposed be- low-freezing temperatures upon the Florida and Rio Grande winter growing belts. Dr. M. J. Dorsey of the University of Illinois college of agriculture said it may have caused almost a total loss" of the Illinois peach crop valued at $2.O00,000.
 Frozen rivers brought flood threats. Pittsburgh reported ice eorges in the Allegheny, Mononga- hela and Ohio Rivers which would cause floods in the event of a sud-. den thaw or rain.
 The Ohio river at Cincinnati was believed too low to carry a flood threat but ice gorges were being dynamited at Gallipolis to break a path for ferry service.
 Even in the Cumberland river, in Tennessee, which hasn't frozen over since 1905, ice was forming along the banks. The Stone river near Lebanon, Tenn, was frozen over.
