When the first settlers arrived there was much hue and cry that the soil was no good, the climate was not right the season too short, the rainfall came at the wrong time of the year, etc. The farmers were quick to conclude that nothing could be grown and if they did manage to raise crop they would have no market where it could be sold.
 Tn 1886 when the first veget- able gardens matred around the hastily constructed homes, many of these earlier indictments were forgotten because it was actually proved that garden produce and small grains could be grown and matured during the short season.

while Germans went into the World War fat and frisky, they went into the current war after three years of restricted diet.
 Primary reductions in the diet allowance come in meats and fats. Decreases are compensated by in- creased bread allowances. By con- trast with his 1886 diet, the aver age German takes a g percent cut in meats, a 50 percent cut in fats, a "A percent cut in cheese. a 2 percent cut in sugar. This is offset by 15 percent increase in bread and an allowance of preserves.
 This will provide 2,4OO calories a day, the report says-enough to keep man going on light work Increased allowances are made for soldiers, heavy manual work CTS and extra heavy manual workers, but the increases are

 dence that the German people en- tered the war after two or three years of very moderate consump- tion compared with what is gen. erally considered a desirable CT even necessary diet.
 The evidence at hand reveals that the average German con- sumer received 15 percent less calorie value in 1937 than he did in 1927. Of even greater signifi- canoe in the present war emer- gency is the situation with re- spect to those engaged in heavy manual labor such as the arma- ment workers and other laborers engaged in activities requiring similarly heavy physical exertion
 Even before the war the cal orie value of the diet of the latter group was regarded by German nutrition experts as being 10 per cent below the desired standard Although the diet of such labor CTS did not give rise to danger of

 serious under-nutrition it allowed no safety margin to speak O.. Both in the case of the average German consumer and in the case of the heavy manual laborers, any further reduction in the actual nutritional value of the pre-war diet would at once affect their efficiency and morale.
 Should it become necessary, in order to keep the labor population satisfied, to increase the rations, particularly of meats and fats, it is highly probable that the bulk of the existing stocks of those commodities will be used up by the end of the first year of hos tilities."

GERMANS GET MORE JAM

Why these reports should con- flict with published statements oi the German government is indicat- ed in quotations from German re- ports of restricted circulation. In these reports German economists complain that the official propa- ganda publications are padded and misleading.
 The German government is cred ited with much wisdom in organiz- ing the food supply at once on a ration basis instead of waiting two years, as in the World War. Yet

 The hitch comes, the report says, in the difficulty Germany encoun- ters in maintaining the meat, fat, fruit and vegetable supplies It quotes a German economic study as saying that efficiency of Ger man workers slumped 20 percent during the World War because uf inadequate food.

i've bodies is dependent upon prog
ress," Judge Zimmerman states.
"While, of course, no employer can
be compelled to hire union workmen,
and no workman can be forced to join
labor union, organized labor should
have the privilege in a reasonable,
peaceable and orderly way of advising
the public, if it so desires, and for
what it may be worth, of the truth
concerning an employer of labor, es-
pecially where the practices followed
and the policies pursued by such en-
ployer are opposed to the interests of
union labor and are considered dele
terious to employees generally, or to
employees engaged in particular kind
of work"
Judge Zimmerman, in his opinion,
expresses the view that the term Ga
Dor dispute" or "trade dispute" has a
much broader meaning than the one
given it by the majority opinion when
it held that there was no trade dispute
involved in this case. He cited nu-
merous court decisions sustaining his
position.
State Representative Martin E.
Blum and Leonard J. Stern repre-
sented the local unions in the case.
Judges Hamilton, Ross and Matthews,
of the First Appellate District of Gin
cinnati, sitting by designation of the
Eighth Appellate District, heard the
case and upheld the right to picket.
1t is their decision which the Supreme
Court has reversed. The decision up
holds the decision of Judge Frank J.
Lausche, of the Cuyahoga County
Common Pleas Court, who granted the
injunction.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-A great
battle for liberty, freedom and democ-
racy is going on in Finland.
Finland is small nation of great
people. Its heroism is amazing. 1t is
the heroism of people fighting for a
nation of homes and nation whose
advance in labor and social legislation
gives every man and women a stake
worth dying for.
Americans can understand that kind
of heroism That's why all America
today applauds the Firms; sends them
money for relief and for munitions.
But American labor has the great
est reason for helping the Firms.
With Finnish independence came
the swift growth of great structure
of labor laws. Listen to this brief
and incomplete recital:
There is less than ONE PER CENT
of illiteracy. You can't fool a nation
like that.
There is 40-hour week.
There are vacations with pay.
There is maternity help.
There are old-age pensions.
There is sickness compensation.
There is land for the small farm
ers-THEIR OWN LAND.
There is great coop movement.
There WAS until war modified the
nation to one aim, a fine labor move
ment.
There is good housing for workers
or WAS until Communist guns be-
gan to blow them up and burn them.
Here is nation that American la
Dor admires for leadership in Ameri-
can labor's own direction.
Communism is trying to blast this
little nation to pieces. Driving peg
in the map of world revolution for
Communism.
Since the founding of the Soviet
regime American labor has known
more than any other labor movement
in the world the meaning of Com
munism to labor.
If Communism sweeps over Finland
it will have gained long step in its
march.
If it can be stopped in Finland, 1T
WILL NOT HAVE TO BE STOPPED
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

should remain undisturbed. The mere
fact that acts of violence had been
