BY prospects of war, which seems
entirely possible, now
Nor by political superstitions or
taboos-
Maybe you can fool all of 'em part
of the time
Probably you can fool part of 'em
all the time
But Lincoln said: You can't fool all
of 'em all the time
Now, who do you suppose shifted
those few thousand votes
Just so they would keep F. D. R. on
the job?
1t couldn't have been Jim Farley,
this time
Jim's wife took him out of the
game
Or, did she?
Somebody said something about
"more production
Did that mean production for use of
the producers?
Making tanks, airplanes, won't alb
sorb all our surplus labor
There will be demolished men on
the loose again, soon
Armies of surplus men and women,
looking for something
Better find out what kind of indus
trial pattern
Will take up all this surplus of
trained humanity
Before it gets to be embarrassing,
again
Let the unemployed produce
For their own use.

MEMBERSHIP OF
A. F. |. NOW AT
ALL-TIME PEAK

Washington, d. C.-The American
Federation of Labor is now at it's all
time membership high, Secretary
Treasurer George Meany reports in
the November issue of the American
Federationist.
The combined enrolment of all
unions affiliated with the A. F. of L.,
on the basis of per capita tax pay
ments, stands at 4,247,443. This
figure is almost so per cent above the
membership three years ago, when the
total was 2,S6O,939.
The prodigious growth of the fed
Grafton is attributed by Mr.. Meany
to Constant, constructive, sound or
ganizing work, based on the Ameri-
can philosophy which our organization
has always exemplified."
Declaring that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has never been in a
healthier condition than today, Mr..
Meny adds:
"All signs point to continued in
crease in strength in 1941 and be-
yond."
The effects of conscription and the
national emergency on labor unions,
with particular emphasis on the con-
tracts between unions and employers,
| ~, ioJn hxy
| A. Padway, general counsel of the
| A. F. of L.
Foreseeing sudden rise III the cost
of living, Mr.. Padway says:
"In times of emergency, when the
real value of dollar is more uncer-
tain than ever, the need for fexibility
is particularly desirable. . 1t is
therefore inadvisable for unions to
fix wage schedules in their contracts
for long periods of time
Mr.. Padway strongly advises unions
currently negotiating new agreements
with employers to insist upon the in
sertion Of an escape clause" giving
the union the right to reopen the wage
question in the event Giving expenses
substantially rise"
In another article so-called merit
rating plans for the payment of un-
employment insurance taxes by en-
ployers are vigorously assailed. Adop-
tion of such plans, the article says,
would stabilize employment at mini
mum levels"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-11-22

What was this election all about,
anyhow?
Nobody really cared whether the
Roosevelt boys
We're in the Marines, the Air Corps,
or the movies
Of course, the D. A. r. still are en-
ragged, inside
About Eleanor, and Marion Ander-
son, and Constitution Hall
But Joe Louis is willing to forget
it all
Hugh Johnson is still carrying ants
in about the same old places
But if a third term meant 13 years
instead of 12-
Willkie could have saved a lot of
his voice
Was this an American Hitler, los
ing an election
Then coming up for share in the
administration
And just what are those eternal
principles"

SYNOPSIS

BENJAMIN MERRIFIELD, aged
capitalist, hires
GAYLE DIXON to make love to
his grandson,
JEREMY TUCKER, a shy student
of archaeology, while
BILL BAILEY and six pretty girls
are employed to help bring life
and youth to the Merrifield man
sion.
YESTERDAY: Jeremy begins t {
learn that pretty young girls
can be most attractive.

E

Mr.. Vjeremy Tucker and his
grandfather, Mr.. Benjamin w.
Merrifield, and the latter's COM
panion and secretary, Mr.. Weems,
were the only three gentlemen at
the party in evening clothes. And
theirs were not, strictly speaking,
formals; that is, they wore n o
tails" but we're in tuxedoes. They
were a dignified trio. Jeremy's
face, normally too pale from
months of work in libraries, some
how had acquired a cherubic pink
ness tonight and this made him
look almost as young as he really
was.
Jeremy" Gayle Dixon said
when he came downstairs dressed,
you are my date tonight and 1
shall be first to say how handsome
you lock. You do"
Jeremy's pink deepened. He
swallowed. and stared, and wrig-
gled. Mr.. Merrifield, who had over
heard, chuckled happily.
Young sir, can't you say thank
you'?" he rumbled. Here, here,
my dear, you may look at me
and compliment my looks. and l
shall try to be more gallant. At
once, p~lease!"
She smiled brightly at him and
did tell him he was the handsom-
est man present Or likely to bbe.
In that she was not exaggerating.
Mr.. Merrifield, at 70, was a strik-
ing figure. At the moment he acted
kittenish, warning Jeremy that he,
