Army and Dealers Agree
To Build Lumber Reserve

Arrangements have been made for
the Army, in cooperation with
lumber manufacturers, to accom-
modate large reserve supplies OF
lumber "at very fair prices" to fore
stall possible shortages and sudden
price rises due to rush orders, the
Office of Production Management
announced yesterday.
Under the plan, formulated at a
conference of representatives OF
Southern and West Coast lumber
concerns, the o. P. M. Division OF
Purchases and the Price Stabiliza-
ton Division of the National De-
fense Advisory Commission, lumber
manufacturers will carry the re-
serve stocks until the Army calls
for them. Prices were fixed by COM
petitive bidding, with payment to
be made at the time of shipment.
Donald M. Nelson, director of the
Division of Purchases, said the step
would stabilize lumber prices at a
fair level and benefit both the Army
and lumber manufacturers.

China Pitchers From Far Off

Mrs. Charles Yeutmun Developed Hobby
Through Correspondence With Strangers

Mrs. Yeatman, however, didn't
want anything. Then she remem-
bered a century-old pink pitcher
trimmed in gold that a friend had
given her. She would build her
collection around that.
Some of the pen pals" as she
calls them, that she had made
though the magazine letter came
through with pitchers. There's
Wedgewood pitcher from South At
RIGA and a green one from Holly
wood, Calf.
"I sent her a dollars worth of
first covers for that one" she said
pointing to the green pitcher. ct
don't think it's worth dollar, but
it's right pretty"
She picked up a delicate one with
the British royal coat of arms
painted on it.
"a girl got that on her honeymoon
80 years ago." she said. shes sep
arated from her husband now so I
guess she didn't mind giving 1t
away"
Carefully Catalogued.
Wandering among her pitchers,
she selected chubby one with the
colors of a Jockeys cap on it.
1--WE got this in Saratoga. I had
a hard time finding it. They didn't
have many pitchers in Saratoga"
When she and her husband take
their summer trips, they stop at
every town-she to hunt for pitchers
in gift shops and 10-cent stores, he
to track down, newspaper headlines.
That's his hobby Sometimes the
pitchers have souvenir labels of the

getting fan mail from all over the

them away in paper bags and
writes the name of the town on the

catalogue that lists the origin of

RIIYING POWER

WHILE PRICES continue to soar and taxes be-
" gin to pinch, we are told that we haven't even
started to feel this war.
The American people do not mind shouldering
their load-even though they believe they are
paying for the mistakes Of others. But there could
be few changes made. Why should the Govern
ment-whch means you-pay more for COM
modities than do individuals?
Purchasing in great quantity, you would eX-
pect the Government to receive the lowest pos
sible wholesale price all goods bought, but that
is far from the case. You can walk into any good
camera shop and buy a single unit at the same
price the Government pays buying thousands OF
units direct from the manufacturer. If you have
a string or two to pull, you can get from ten to
forty per cent off list. What happens not only to
the wholesalers profits, but also the retailers?
Why shouldn't they be passed on to the Govern
ment?
The best microphones made are being used on
firing ranges Just to shout such commands as,
Fire" These Instruments are so sensitive they
are only normally used to catch delicate shadlngs
in musical tones. Used outside even q light rain
will put them out of balance. much more prac-
tica nicrophone could be purchased for almost
one-tenth the price.
We want the best possible products for the
use Of the United States Army, but we don't care
to spend money fOoishly. 1t would appear the
Government could use a few live-wre purchasing
agents with good common sense.

AGGRESSIVE JOB PROTECTION

SMALL PLANTS accounting for more than 60
- per cent of our industrial workers, represent
the balance of power in the world conflict" Floyd
B. Odum, head of the OPM Contract Distribution
Division, said recently.
I'VE will make q vigorous effort to see that no
large order goes to any firm that does not agree
tC farm out reasonable part Of the work "
Odlum promised in speech broadcast from
Washington
Labor will of course be highly pleased if the
vigorous effort promised by Mr.. Odlum is made
and will be even more pleased if it is successful
From the beginning of the defense program, the
American Federation of Labor has insisted that
work must be spread to small plants.
The Seattle convention took a strong and con
StructlVe stand on the matter, recommending that
any plants not cooperating with the defense pro-
gram or refusing to seek defense contracts be
taken over by the government for defense opel-
alton. The convention regarded pressure Of this
kind as important to bring many rccacitiant en-
|ployers or those doing little to protect workers
Jobs into line of an aggressive policy for employ
Iment protection.

vY'FE PROPOSAL for hiking social security taxes,
to make wage carners pay perhaps as much as
five per cent, is up again, quite likely as a trial
balloon" to test the public reaction If the public
knows what is good for it, the proposal will get a
hostile reception. 1t is now advanced primarily as
a means Of preventing imitation, by taking the
money for taxes that might otherwise 20 into the
purchase Of goods and products for civilian use
One Of the ideas apparently behind the scheme
is that the wage Garner will be making more while
the defense effort is under way and therefore will
be in a position to pay more in social security
taxes. This ignores the facts that rising prices
may largely nuIlify higher pay and that great
numbers Of wage CarnerS with fixed salaries will
receive little or nothing in the way of pay in
creases. In addition everyone, whether his pay
rises, falls or is stationary, viii pay much more in
Federal income, sales and other taxes.

an opportunity to learn Of the hazards that cause
fire. and the simple preventative steps that will

prevention in our newspapers and heard about it
over the air. Now is the time to put the infol-
nation gained, to use.

BACK TO SCHOOL,

From the Minneapolis Labor Review
RACK TO school the children Of the nation
~ have trooped.
Back to the same old schools that have been
teaching for years and years and years but failed
to teach enough OF brotherhood to prevent men
from slaughtcring and rObbng one another.
CAS- the tWig is bent the tree is inclined" and
as the boy is taught the man is pretty apt to
develop.
How the schools have failed. How they con
tinue to fail as the children troop back to school
TO worship the same false gods Of money and
mtariSm. To be bent the wrong way.
Right teaching the world ovcr would make
right thinking and right acting the world over Is
there anything glorious about the pathetic and
terrible failure Of the schools?

DEATH


Death is such a terrible thing.
1t brings sorrow to every human
being.
The sorrow it brings are sorrows of
woe,
In time Of rain or in time Of snow.
The death | mean must come to all;
To every person, both large and
small.
1t takes you either at day or night,
But to go to Heaven is the greatest
flight.
When it is over and the sorrows are
gone,
The night fades away, and then
comes the dawn.
When you wake up, how strange it
seems,
For person like me to have such
terrible dreams.

PREVENTING LOSS OF Jobs
(From the American Ecderationist\

tfrom the American FcdcraonSt)
WHEN THE government finds it necessary to
" take the property of citizens for defense of
the nation, it is customary to indemnify the own
erS. When priorites make going business worth
less and destroys Jobs, they deprive both en-
ployerS and workers of incOme-prOducng relations
that are in reality most valuable property
Reparatons can be made by allocating defense
contracts to replace the civilian orders that for
mery maintained the plants. Labor demands that
this course be followed as matter Of fundamental
justice.

Where We Hdtched Out
The Truth
. WAR is A FACT
HERE IN q. S.
. TIMES WILL BE HARD
Q LIBERTY AGAINST SLAVERY

War is fact for the United States.
Some don't think so, but it isn't a
case of thinking. 1t is a case of fact
At this writing we have sunk one
German U-boat; Germany has Grip
pied one U. S. destroyer, with loss OF
II men.
Did someone ask when shooting
war" is to start?
Peace probably will be long time
coming. Maybe three years; maybe
five.
You will live a lot harder before
it's over.
Things to remember: Taxes will go
up; housing will be scarcer; food will
cost more, but will be available;
clothing will be available, but will
cost more.
Financially, we have a hard row to
hoe.
But we never looked at the issue
that way. 1t is liberty against slavery.
Someone once said "there never was
d good war or bad peace"
The saying became somewhat pop
ular, as half truths often do. 1t was
the bunk.
Any peace with Hitler is a bad
peace. Any peace that sells out mems
souls and leaves them spiritually and
physically in bondage is bad peace.
Patrick Henry said it better-said
it as it should be said:
UC;,o NM 1;bo,,4,, "a, ,o,o Joo4l,
American workers can be proud
that the American Federation of
Labor, in it's Seattle convention,
joined with Patrick Henry. Every
thing we have for defense. Hitlerisn
must be destroyed!

Japan will nudge into the mess, too
maybe has, by now. Japan, looking
for the jackal's way in-biting at the
heels while Hitler engages the front.
Italy and Japan have something IN
common. Italy came in when she
thought it was a case of picking up
the wreckage. Italy now would be
very happy to get out.
One would wish the Italian people
Icuiu Stt Oul-DuJ IIldJ NuSSOllIl
could not!
There's an observation about Japan:
The Samurai had a great code of
honor A man dishonored chose death
and a particularly torturing death.
But what is one to say about the
honor of Japan today?
The Chinese might have some in.
teresting opinions on that score.
Japan, like Italy, is the victim Of
ruthless leaders bent on conquest.
X X *
Germany-Italy-Japan. While they
stand together the world must link
them together as standing for the
same thing.
That's the way it is. We didn't
make it that way-but we will have
to help unmake it.
The Wheelers, Lindberghs, Nyes,
etc, just haven't made a case, though
they have made lot of confusion.
But eventually the American people
do their own thinking and make their
own decisions.
1t must be evident that the Ameri-
can people have made up their mind.
When there is right thing to do
and wrong thing the, decision goes
for the right thing.
