Not on Speaking Terms
NO doubt exists as to Hunsary's
~ position in regard to the
Russo-German conflict. Shortly
after Nazi panzer divisions
smashed their way ruthlessly into
Soviet territory, Hungary broke

ProfIteering

Proflteering
Here is an outstanding example of
profiteering brought to light last week
by Price Sterilization Commissioner
Leon Henderson:
The commodity in this instance is
quicksilver, which, in August, 1889,
sold for sS4 flask-a flask being
|76 pounds. Today, quicksilver is sell
ing for $3.50 a flask-an increase of
more than 100 percent, or 40 percent
higher than the peak price for this
metal reached in the 1918 period.
Henderson points out that there is
neither present nor an anticipated
shortage of quicksilver The produc-
tion from domestic mines plus the i'm
ported ores of 10000 TASKS annually
is greater than the anticipated con-
sumption, including national defense
requirements.
The chief purchaser OF this metal
is the Navy.

The old maxim Like Father Like
Son., seems to hold true with England
and the United States, from the high
est in politics and finance down to
organized labor and the dole. The
United States has for some years and
is still following faithfully in Eng
lands footsteps all Of the way. De-
pressions in England = depress1ons
here. Dole in England = dole here.
England in war-ditto here.
England is conscripting it's labor,
male and female alike. British labor
leader Bevins has double crossed his
constituents and America is following
suit. Labor is being led into trap
that they will not escape. The plan
With the help of William Green, pres
ident of the A. F. of L. and Sidney
Hillman on the Board Of Defense 1t is
almost sure to go over.
Roosevelt clears his skirts by re-
fusing a bill for the CONSUMPTION of
labor at this time. But the program
definitely agreed on calls for the con-
scription of labor. This is the way
it works. An industry refuses to con-
cede to demands of labor for living
wage or conditions. A demand which
is just as the price of living is stead
lily rising and the profits OF the in
dustries on defense materials are
the industry but the management
stays in control as they did with the
railroads during World War No. l.
Again they corrupt the unions by in
jecting stool pigeons into the organi-
cations whose main job at this time
is to raise the initiation fees to high
that is prohibitive to the unorganized
worker Why are these things done
to the workers? In order to arouse
public feeling of indignation against
organized labor Another way is for
industrialists to be sure that working
conditions are so CALLING to the work
ers that there will be protest. The
protest will not be met so a strike
ensues.
These are the main issues that the
leaders Of our government will use in
making a drive on labor for an open |
shop condition and that calls for a
CONSUMPTION of labor under military |
control The workers standard of liv-
ing will Immediately drop to that of
the serf. But labor should not stop
their militant action as that is the one
thing that will save them if anything
dos. The plan is already in action to
break labor and labor had better go
down fighting than to stink off like a
whipped puppy. At least in fight
they will retain their self respect.
I think it would be fun sometime
if we of the United States would show
a little initiative and go off on tan
gent by ourselves, all alone and I'M

enough to find our way around with
out the guiding hand of old John Bull
Do you suppose we could harvest our
crops, work our mines and factories,
