By the Associated Press.
The British government reiterat-
ing determination to maintain re-
lentless blockade against Germany
has rejected Herbert Hoover'S plan
for establishment of soup kitchens
In Belgium as a test of possible SIM
liar relief for other Nazi-occupied
countries.
mo form of relief can be devised
which would not directly or indi-
rectly assist the enemy's war ef-
fort, said a statement made public
yesterday by the British Embassy.
Mr.. Hoover, who had received an
advance copy Of the statement, said
In a reply released simultaneously
that the stark fact is that millions
of children, and the weak, are
threatened with stunted bodies and
death in the occupied lands unless
relief is brought to them"
Denies Germans Would Gain.
He asserted that none of the food
shipped to Belgium would go to the
Germans and that adoption of the
plan would result in no military
loss to the British or military gain
to the Germans"
But the Embassy statement, as
serting there need be no famine or
starvation in Nazi-occupied terri
tories IF the enemy would distribute
his supplies equitably," went on with
this explanation of the plans re-
lection:
Even if it were admitted that
immediate shortages of food were
likely, the British government would
regard it as false humanitarianism
to agree to the admission of food
Stuffs to the areas concerned, know
ing as they do that the result of
this action would be to prolong the
war and to add in the long run to
the sum of human misery"
Plan Would Feed 100000.
Mr.. Hoover, as honorary chair
man of the Committee on Food for
Small Democracies, made his pro-
poSal on February Is. 1t provided
for feeding 100000 persons at soup
kitchens, using supplies from the
United States and a million bushels
of bread grains per month from
German sources. A neutral commits
sion would have supervised the re-
lief and the Germans would have
been pledged neither to interfere
with these supplies nor to requisi-
ton other foods from the Belgians.
The British turned down last De-
cember a Hoover plan under which
exiled governments would have pro-
vided funds to feed the populations
of their German occupied home

Minimum Wages Asked
For Two More Groups

Washington, D. ca Accent min
imum wage for the gray iron jobbing
foundry industry and 36-cent mini
mum wage for the seamless hosiery
industry were recommended by the
committees appointed by Gen. Philip
B. Fleming, administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division, to investi-
gate wage rates in these two groups.
If approved by Gen. Fleming, the
Accent minimum for the gray iron
jobbing foundry industry will raise
the hourly wages of an estimated 8
per cent of the 10000 to 100000 en-
ployes in the industry, and the 36-cent
minimum for the seamless hosiery in
dustry, which is now operating under
a 32R cent minimum hourly rate,
will raise the wages of $4,000 of the
estimated $4,000 workers employed in
the industry.

greatly that they have actually en-
ployed more labor than ever before.
"The automobile industry provides
us with the most dramatic example of
this tendency. In 1899 it employed
2,200 men and produced only 3,700 au-
tomobiles and trucks. Thus it took
six men a year to turn out ten cars.
Auto Employment Scars
"Thirty years later the industry
employed 447,000 men and turned out
100000 passenger cars and $4,000
commercial vehicles. With the aid of
a much larger amount of machinery,
better materials, and improved meth
DDS, ten cars were produced for every
man employed-or over six times as
many as in 1899. Yet the number of
men employed in the industry was
more than two hundred times as
large"

Granted Five-Day Week

Philadelphia, Pa.-Following pro-

laborers submitted by Local 222 of the
A. F. of L. State, County and Munich
pal Workers Union, the Fairmount
Park Commission voted to put all the
laborers on a fve-day week. The
union claimed that some laborers were

week. Additional new concessions
granted were five days vacation with
pay instead of the three days in effect
last year, the assurance that men re-
porting for work on rainy days will
receive one hours pay if dismissed,
and sick leave with pay for 80 days.

ATMOSPHERE

(From the Painter and Decorator)
Few drivers of automobiles realize
that the chief enemy of speed in their
cars is the unseen and silent atmos-
phere. Physicists have proved that,
after a car has reached a speed Of 40
miles an hour, more power is needed
to overcome air-resistance than road
resistance. If a car is going SO miles
an hour, between Is and % horse
power is used simply to overcome air
resistance, and that is more than one
fourth the horsepower of the ordinary
engine.
In many ways automobiles remind
us of men, and especially in this par
ticular. When far-seeing men try to
bring about some reform, their work
in advancing the reform is more than
half spent in overcoming the per-
vasive, silent, obstinate opposition of
prejudice and selishness. The atmos-
phere of society must be overcome be-
fore any progress can be made with
the reform. When this persistent and
universal force works at last with the
improvement, the reform is virtually
accomplished.

REPORTS
LOCAL INCREASE

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - The
number of local housing authorities
over the nation has now reached 571
and is continuing to rise, according to
the United States Housing Authority.
When U. S. H.. A. began to operate
late in 1887 there were only 46 such
authorities in the country.
The increase in the number of
county housing authorities has been
especially marked in recent months.
This has been due to the expansion
of the U. S. H. AS rural housing pro-
gram. Most of the new county hous-
ing authorities so far have been es-
tablished in southern states and Illi-
nois.
The greatest number of municipal
housing authorities is in New Jersey,
where there are 26. Indianan has %
municipal and two county authorities.

The pontifiscal brigade will tell you
how easy it would be to stop all strikes
and maintain perpetual industrial
peace. Hitler also knows how.
There is only one proper way
for America and that is through
voluntary agreement.
That doesn't mean waiting until
foreign agents and provocateurs can
be brought to see reason, for their
job is to create all the havoc possible.
But it does mean voluntary agreement
with the great responsible organiza-
tions of American labor.
And it definitely is part of labor's
job to see to it that the provocateurs
are put where they belong.
Now let's set down one more state
ment: There is no sufficient reason or
excuse for a single days stoppage of
work and there ought be none
Americas need is too great!
4
But If we are to achieve continuous
production through Nazi methods it
will be too bad. 1t will be confession
that somewhere in the democratic
process there is bad hitch.
And If that proves to be the case
we shall have laws with teeth in them
prescribing compulsion.
Already state legislatures are Sc
riously at work on measures to fix
stiff penalties for stoppages of work
and for drastic action to compel closed
shop conditions on defense jobs. Some
probably will pass.
Labor, admittedly, is in hole and
it better hurry to get out before it
gets the lid slammed down on its head.
The many can be made to suffer for
the bad tactics of few and for the
sabotage of the enemy. Under such
laws A. F. of l.. unions would suffer
for the anger created by C. O. con-
duct. Believe it OF not.
One probable reason the whole mat
ter has not been taken more seriously
by some unions and their leaders is
that they have been unable or unwill-
ing to believe the war danger is as
great as it actually is.
1t isn't easy to believe that this ma
tion is in position of front line
danger. BUT TT is!
1t would be good idea to go over
the records Of the last World War.
There was sabotage then, too; and
there were strikes that were not
caused by the agents of sabotage. The
cost of living was shooting upward.
Something was done and it was
effective. Something will be done
now and it will be voluntary
or else!
And employers might as well re-
member that repression is never
one-way proposition. They, too, will
be restrained and compelled.
Somehow the impression has spread
that labor is at fault almost exclu-
sively. Of course that just isn't so.
But hot-tempered legislators aren't
going to be too careful about that.
They are just going to crack down.
And the compulsion will hit both
sides-probably hard.
There can be voluntary action. And
everyone will feel happier about it.
1t had better come fast.
The great war issue is more
important than anybody's griev-
ance, no matter how serious that
grievance may be.
Full speed production-ALL THE
TIME must be had and it will be had,
one way or another. There is still a
chance to choose which way, but the
chance won't remain there long.
Most American workers will work
to stop Hitler because they want to,
not because they are forced to. And
ditto with most employers perhaps,
even including those that hate unions
