WAREHOUSE OPERATORS
STARTING FEUD

The fued between warehouse
operators in the interior and
those on the Atlantic Coast may
entail q tremendous increase In
storage charges fer both the
government and private inter-
ests. Already il has precipitated
q furious row behind the scenes
on capitol hill.
Some months ago coast ware
housemen started campaign
for transfer OF stored cotton
from the hinterland TO the east.
Their space stood empty. and
they wanted the business which
their rivals were enjoying.
Senator Mcclellan Of Tennessee
successfully sponsored passage
Of a bill preventing the transfer.
When President Roosev
launched this aid To Britain
move the situation changed
completely. Coastal warehouses
bulged with stuff awaiting ship
ment. and since a large part
consisted Of penshRbles they
were paid higher rates than they
would have received for holding
bulk products like cotton.
Now the warehouse interests
Of the interior are complaining.
They demand that the govern
ment boost the rates that they
are getting now. in view OF the
larger profits which the men on
the coast receive. So they have
persuaded Mr.. MeKell&r to re-
sort 10 the unusual strategy Of
smothering his own bill Al

HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY. JUNE "a

RAf stN6 -
There is one strong benefic as
pect today which should be
helpful 10 trade and manufactur-
ing. Adverse influences are
mildly active.
Heart and Home: Good news
through letters or newspapers
should cheer the household un-
der this CONFORMATION which
tends toward self-deception and
anxiety. Pessimism regarding
the future should be sterniy over
come, but there should be true
realism in the contemplation Of
possible effects OF war upon resi-
dents Of the United States. This
nation will come of age as the
greatest Of powers. but many OF
the most pleasant conditions of
American life will be forfeited.
This rising generation will pay
heavy penalties for the mistakes
Of progeuitore.
Business Affairs: As conven-
tons Of many sorts multiply,
discussion of current problems
will reveal extending prosperity
in the United States. One Of the
pressing questions will be the
training Of skilled mechanics.
There Is a sign read as seeming
To Indicate compulsion for labor
unions which bar apprentices.
National Issues: The need Of
obliterating all race lines and all
recognition of foreign origins
among Americans viii be real
lied at this time when the gen.
eral welfare depends more than
ever upon unit Of thought and
action. Negroes are TO con-
tribute valuable and highly In
telligent aid in war preparations
and will produce real heroes in
various fields Of activity.
Persons whose birthdate il Is
have the augury Of a year of
substantial progress. Many
friends and much happiness are
indicated.
Children born on this day
probably will be intelligent and
In character and mentality fitted
to make much Of their lives.

Americans Have Become Too Soft

Medical at industrial health conference in New

the observation TO pass by without comment Ask any
officer about how lacking in stamina many of the
lads indicted into service The hardening process which
the boys forced through vitality

country
The medical fraternity too well that Americans
are soft lacking physical vgor and general good health
Lack Of proper diet has much to do with it, Excuses in
drinking and smoking contribute their part to the lack of
sturdy health There is too much leisure time for
not that the leisure time isn't justified but because too
many individuals wrongly apply themselves in that leisure
time Too few take proper exercise; too many do not
know how TO play to enjoy the recreaons that will steel
their bodies and invigorate their minds.
The doctors altogether right, but what will the
American do? Shrug his shoulders and go bthey
his way, irregardess. We built that way. We ARE
paying heavy price for speed and the needessy

SPECIAL CASE

Editor The Times: When
again innumerable American or
CARNATIONS pass peacetime reso-
lutions against war and against
meddling in the affairs of Eu-
rope, should they not add the
honest statement that each reso-
luton will be thrown into the
ssh-csn with the coming of the
next war furry?
For of course the next war,
like this one. and all wars of
the past, will be called a very
special case, the one Just, noble
and wholly necessary war in his
tory. and in line with Mark
Twain's diagnosis, each organi-
zation will collectively attack its
former position as reasonable,
while the majority of its men,
bers wonder why and keep their
mouths shut.
Exceptions will occur, as in
the case of the Cook County
council of the American Legion,
representing $50 posts and 450,-
600 veterans. In a resolution
urging a war referendum in Iln-
nois, a step bitterly opposed by
the interventionists. the council
attacks war-mongering.
'Un-American and subversiye
organizations are benefiting by
the surge of propaganda that is
reaching the eyes and ears of
loyal Americans via the air
lanes, newspaper columns and
news reels, with the result that
facts pertaining to public opin-
ion are distorted and misrepre-
sented."
But, in the main. organize
tons opposed TO war must be
built anew in each war emer-
gency, and are composed of men
and women Of all classes and all
political, religious and social
views, united by common
hatred Of war and understand
ing of its consequences. Such is
the Tacoma Emergency Peace
committee, which presents as
speakers State Treasurer Otto
Case and the nationally known
spokesman for youth. Jack
Barry Of California, at Knights
Of Columbus hall, 23I5 Sixth
ave, Friday evening. June 27.
If organization Of peace SEN
ument could be immediately ef-
fected. II would be impossible To
throw the nation into war. Even
~, the slowly mobilizinE peace
forces have won so far. They
have checked the war-mskers;
they have At least postponed the
actual bloodletting: they have
thus saved some thousands Of
American lives. and they have
maintained 50 far, against at
tack. free speech, free assem-
olage. free press. and the right
Of petition. The future depends
on how many rally TO them.

Under present engineering
plans the waterway could not
provide operating space for
freighters of more than 27-foot
draft. About 500 of the 705
ships which the maritime COM
mission has ordered in its emer-
gency program are too large to
utilize such facilities. Even those
Of smaller draft would have a
tight squeeze to get through. OF
our existing merchant marine il
Ia estimated that rs per cent
could not use the projected
canals. None of the tankers
now being built could do 30.
Thus. the theory that the st.
Lawrence development would
permit direct large-scale ship
ment from and to Great Lakes
ports appears to collapse. and
the waterway is seen as no more
than a pretext for the develop
ment of power-as its enemies
have branded IT all along. This
revelation also weakens the pres
ident's contention that the wa
ter highway is essential to ma
tonal defense. FDR is deter
mined. however. to jam the legis-
lation through congress. He has
turned the heat on eastern Dem
ocrats who fear that the canal
would reduce shipping at ports
like Boston, New York, Balti-
more. etc.

PULSE OF
THE PUBLIC
A PROTEST

Editor. The Times: I am not,
at this time, a member of any
labor union, but would ask that
you permit me to voice a pro-
test against ststments to the
effect that in the matter of vot-
ing upon strikes the union men,
bership is not given opportunity
for self-expression, or the right
to vote.
Such statements are particu-
larry harmful and misleading,
when coming from men and
women who are members of the
union. deriving benefits in in
creased wages and otherwise.
and who do not take sufficient
interest TO attend meetings, or
make their voices heard in dis
cussions.
II is to be expected that those
who are opposed TO union labor
will take advantage, by repeat
ing such statements, and adding
that they are sure of their posi-
tons as their information
comes from some one who is
member of some union"

statement from some one antag-
onistic to labor; I have watched
