Materials of the Office of Production Management And the President by proclamation issued March 27 has put fish oil under the export control sys- tenn.
 In order to work out fishing regulations the Fish and Wildlife Service conducts program of sc- entific research With regard to the herring indus try however the extent of that research due to the small budget available to the Service, is such to make estimates of the abundance of fish very dif- ficut The present Alaska herring investigation has a staff of only and operates on a budget of $7500 which must include wages, transportation, maintenance in the field, scientific equipment and forth. It is patently impossible to conduct a survey of a complex industry stretching 8 couple of thousand miles of coast line with such limited facilities Lacking sufficient scientific data the Fish and Wldlife Service has had to pretty much shoot in the dark quotas for the herring industry. The Service has taken the position that to the side of conservation is wiser than to take chance depletion. stag -s
 There is element of grim humor in the fact that the regulations cutting down on Alaskas herring oi production issued by the Department of the Interior March 4. For Germany and Britain waging in the North Sea a side battle for fish oil And it was on March 4 the English Navy staged its sensational raid the Lofoten Is lands. The raids purpose was to destroy the her. ring-oil factories and storage tanks
 
 few days ago the papers carried a Stockholm dispatch stating that fish--hungry Norways last ratoned foodwould be henceforth rigdly controlled No cod or herring can be sold fresh for food or salted down without special permit from the Nazis According to the article this step taken that the bulk of all fish caught be reduced to fish oil and fish meal. The brown-shirt bitzkrieg ma chine needs fats and vitamins to balance the diet of the army and of industrial labor And even more important, the story continues, fish oil is important element in the manufacture of certain plosves.
 Germany's gain is loss. Americas leather tanning industry last year used 12,00000O pounds of Norwegian cod oil With the source of supply cut off, it had to find domestic substitute The mixers of cattle and chicken foods, the paint manufactur CTS, and others in the same fix These people find that Alaska's herring oil fills the bill. The problem is to secure sufficient supply.
 This the appropriation for scientific study will help accomplish. The $34000 involved is small. The industrys stake-$6 900 0O0-is large Labor's jobs-is important Above al the con- alterations of national defense demand that take this step toward a permanent solution of the her. ring production problem.

OFF AND ON HOOK

One month later under the lead- ership of the same Hook and Dil- lon, the San Francisco machinists struck for $1.15 an hour and double pay for overtime. Walking out at the same time was a CIO machinist local ln nearby Oakland, the only craft union in the CIO and com pletely under the domination of longshoreman Harry Bridges.
 The Hook-Dillon type of leader ship was further demonstrated dur ing Governor Olson's attempt to set tie the strike.
 After several long conferences, Hook and Dillon gave their word not to oppose the Governor if he ad- dressed mass meeting of the ma chinists to urge them to return to work To make sure there was no misunderstanding Olson got the ap- proval of the strike committee to make his plea.
 After Olson made his speech, both Dillon and Hook took the platform and militantly argued against him.

tirely out of the pocket of the tax payer. Naturally the contractor does not care and the strikes actually are against the Government.
 Involved in these pay demands is no question of low wages, excessive work hours, or union recognition. The demands are purely gouging racket.
 This is clearly shown by the fol- lowing record: At the new ordnance plant at Ravenna, Ohio, AFL strik- CTS demanded boosts for common laborers from 65c to goo an hour, carpenters from SLIP to $l37la an hour, cement finishers from SIPS to $50; at Camp Polk, Leesville, La., bricklayers demanded a jump from $50 to $l62h; at the new ordnance plant at Independence, Mo-, cleo tricians demanded a raise from $1 50 to $162h; at the new ordnance plant at Sandusky, Ohio, plumbers and steamfitters demanded boost from SIPS to $1.621a; and at the Philadelphia armor plate plant elec- triciars insisted on an increase from $1.621a to $1.75 an hour. In repeated public statements, William Green plus other AFL mo- guls have uttered pious words of patriotism. But when it comes down to cracking the whip on contract breakers and racketeers, all Green has to offer is patience"
 Senator" he replied to Senator Harry Truman, chairman of the committee which questioned Green about the outlaw San Francisco strike, we learn in life that we must be patient many times. Even with bad boys and bad girls

NEW RACKET

This case is not the only such instance of AFL handling of defense labor Last winter and spring AFL building trades business agents shook down millions of dollars in initiation fees from Army camp con- struction workers. It is estimated that the total take was not less than $l0,000,000.
 Today, building trades agents are working a new "shake-down." They are staging strikes for big wage boosts on cost-plus-fixed-fee gov ernment projects. These are projects on which the Government pays all costs, plus fixed fee to the con- tractor for directing the construc- tion Any wage increase comes en-

CAPITAL CHAFF

When Frank Knox, censor minded Secretary of the Navy, visited the new battleship USS North Carolina at the New York Navy Yard, the newspapers gave him big round Of publicity. But when he stopped n to look at the British battleship Malaya nearby, he got no publicity whatever.
