RAILS TO THE FRONT

Despite artificial impediments.
excessive regulation. and exorbi-
tant taxion, the American rail
roads have supplied constantly
improved service to all the coun-
try throughout the years, said
New York Commercial and Fin
ancial Chronicle. recently.
There has never been in the
United States any moment OF re-
laxed effort or of retarded pro-
gress in the railroad industry.
the article went on. The facts
speak for themselves to all
whose observations has not been
limited by lack of comprehen-
sion or by prejudice too dark to
admit the light.
You don't have to go to any
authority to prove this-anyonc
who has had contact with the
railroads know it. The farmer
knows that it is improved railroad
service which enables him to sell
his crops in far-off, profitable
markets. with minimum of
waste and spoilage. The manu-
facturer knows that it is cheap,
fast transport by rail which per-
mits him to meet the demands
of merchants and consumers in
every section of the nation. The
traveller knows the kind of rail
progress that has given him the
swift. superly comfortable trains
of today-at a steady reduction
in the fare charged. The worker
knows how many jobs depend
upon the billion dollars a year the
railroads spend for supplies.
Even as the railroads played a
major role in building our nation,

RETAlLING'S BIG lob

There never was a time when
effective retail distribution was
more important to the well-being
of American agriculture. That is
the logical deduction to be made
from recent survey showing
what the war has done to United
States export trade.
The study compares January
to August, 194l, with the same
period year before And it
shows that foreign sales of meats
and lard are down II per cent ;
fruit exports are down 81 per
cent; wheat exports are down II
per cent; tobacco exports are
down % per cent; fresh apple ex-
ports are down "a per cent. So
it goes all along the line, with
only a few farm-produced COM
modities showing an increase.
The war, in brief, is rapidly
depriving the American farmer
of long-established and profit.
able markets. That threatens pur-
chasing power throughout the en-
tire country-agriculture is in.
dustry's largest market. 1t affects
employment in all fields.
Fortunately something can be
done-and it is being done. Anne
rican merchants. large and small.
chain and independent, are do
ing it. Organized retailers cannot
.'estore the farmers lost foreign
markets. but they can help ex-
tend the farmers domestic mar
ket. They can encourage the pub
lie to try new foods and dishes
to vary their diet, which increases
consumption. BY cutting distri-
button costs whenever possible
through increased efficiency. they
also aid the farmer in getting a
larger share of the final selling
price of what he raises. That is
the big Job that retail industry is
carrying on today.

INDUSTRIAL AND
LABOR FREEDOM
INSEPARABLE

In the words of Hugh John.
son, the action of Congress in
tacking the so-called industrial
CONSUMPTION rider on the selec.
tive military service bill was
pure political hokum'. 1t was
put there to enable congressional
candidates for reelection to say
to their constituents:
i would not vote for conscript.
ing mems lives until had in
sisted on voting to conscrip,
mems dollars. The power to take
over private property for public
use is as old as English law. II
was called the law OF eminent do
main. 1t is practiced almost daily
in peace time and is called tn,
process of condemnation The
only real difference in war is that
it is called communicating
The problem the country is
thinking about now is how to get
the tools and weapons of defense
What the country needs is the
products of industry, not the
plants. If there are recalcitrant
industrials who refuse full sup
port to the government, there
are far more effective ways OF
forcing them into line than con
fiscating' their factories.
Bernhard M. Baruch. chair
man of the war industries board
in the World War. in comment
ing on industrial conscription,
pointed out: After you had taken
it Industry over and installed
your government employe as
manager, what greater control
would you have then than now
Now you can choke it to death,
deprive it of transportation, fuel
and power. divert it's business.
strengthen it's rivals. Could any
disciplinary means be more effec-
tive: II you take it over, you can
only give orders to an employe
backed by threat of dismissal and
with fa::. less effect than you can
give them now. Let the manage
ment run the plant and you
run the management.
Nothing could disrupe produc-
ton more than conscription. And
in the last analysis, if we con-
script free enterprise what have
we left to fight for?
When you conscript industry.
you conscript labor. You cannot
have conscripted industry and
freedom OF labor. for strike
against government is revolution.

writers. threatens national de-
.cnse. During the early months
,i this wear. fire loss vas sub
,tantiallv higher than it was for
he same period last year or the
wear before. And that is taking
place at time when America :
intricate industrial machine must
be geared to maximum efficiency
and maximum production in
turning the defense program
hlue-prints into actual tanks
and airplanes and warships and
guns.
On top of that. even disre.
garding the defense factor, FIRE is
the arch enemy of the public
welfare. Mr.. Mallalieu cites a hv-
pothetical case in which a great
factory is destroyed. Men are
thrown out of Jobs, and are no
longer able to pay their bills.
Local merchants. professional
men and landlords suffer. Taxes
go unpaid. Orders are cancelled
And so the local depression
caused by such a fire reaches out
10 distant cities. touching other
factories, other businesses, other
workers and their families. Com
'nercial history shows that many
pf the business institutions suf-
terins serious loss by fire are un-
able to survive. They cannot
come back.
Big fires such as this hypothe-
tical case are not so rare as you
might think. During the first five
months of this year alone. there
were 50 fires causing damage Of
100000 or more each. One of
them took a toll of 81 100000 and
another of $4,000. And such
tragedies will be repeated again
and again before the year ends
if past precedent holds.
This year the cause of fire pre-
vention, always vital. is of ever
more direct Importance to all Of
ns-to everyone with a job,
everyone with an investment
everyone who wants to see our
defense program go forward
without hitch. Such events as
National Fire Prevention Week
which is being nationally oh
served from October 6-l2, are
carried on in the interest of every
family. Enlist today in the battle
against fire. And enlist for the
duration of hostilities!

600 federal employees in New York
