constitute a fire hazard:
Alt may, depending on how
deep the crack goes and where il

GUESS WHO IS

FOOD CHIEF

WASHINGTON.-(FP)- Sen. Alex

up in the senate and bravely called
for Herbert Hoover as the man OF
the hour" who would solve all ills.
Hoover, said Wiley, should head a

than accept government standards of

The National Council called for a
relaxation of wage-hour legislation

COMMITTEES
Join FORCES TO
SUPPORT PLAN

WASHINGTON.-FP)-An impress.
sive joining together of the forces of
three important committees of con
gress, representing on the whole lib
eral and pro-labor forces, was an
nounced November Is in connection
with a drive to attain legislation in
cooperating the Tolan committee plan.
A bill authored by Rep. John e.
Tolan 3D., CALI and Sens. Harley M
Kilgore d., W.Va) and Claude Pep
per d., Fla.), calling for a single CT
william agency to coordinate the entire
war production program, was intro
Iduced October %, in both houses.
Now comes support from the bill, as
announced in joint press conference
November 10, for release November
Is, from the senate committee investi-
eating the war program, headed by
Sen. Harry S. Truman 3D., Mo-, and
the senate small business committee,
headed by Sen. James e. Murray 3D.,
Mont.), who won a tough battle in
the recent election with the aid of
organized labor.
Sens. Kilgore, Pepper and Truman,
and Rep. Tolan attended the press
conference A phone call from Sen.
Murray, detained in Montana, assured
his support, said Pepper
Early in the conference Pepper said
with pride that the bill had the sup
port of organized labor. 1t was the
subject of a resolution at the CLIO
convention (Which he had addressed
a few days arlier), he said, and he
Incorporated the same
points demanded in a resolution
passed at the AFL convention.
Isn't this little unusual y your
committees joining forces?" Truman
was asked.
1T is, he answered. "These are
unusual times. We intend to pool our
staffs and efforts because we believe
this bill is the solution"

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
ELECTION

drawn from the vote is that the Amer
lean people completely repudiated the
idea of party regularity and respon-
sibility. Party organization was cas-.
aside. The vote was vote against
the "ins" or those in power, whether
they were republican or democratic.
The republicans benefited from this
large protest vote because they are
the "outs" 1t was not vote FOR
republicans; rather it was a vote
AGAINST those in power.
Montana offers an excellent exam
pie of this For the past many years
Montana has cast a large democratic
vote. The registration, if it could be
shown according to party, would re-
veal vast preponderance of demo-
Gratis. Yet, Wellington Rankin almost
won the senatorial election, even
though a republican senator has never
been elected by popular vote Loyal
ty to party, or consideration of party
policy influenced nobody. Just as in
the 1910 election when a republican

and Roosevelt, party regularity is
thing of the past.

Declares That american
Way To Keep Farm Labor
On the Land Is To Increase
Wages and Improve Living
Conditions"

One hundred and fifty delegates at
the Southern Tenant Farmers Unior
meeting in Memphis had before then
joint report submitted by Roy e
Raley, president; F. R. Betton, vice
president, and H. l.. Mitchell, secre
tary which called for the setting VI
of a Migratory Agricultural Workers
Union as an integral part of their or
ganization.
In addition to recommending the
establishment of Especial organiza-
ton to serve members who are being
transported out of the south to other
areas for employment on farms a sec
ton of the report entitled Wasted
Manpower in the South" stated that
a reorganization of agriculture must
be effected If the armed forces and
our allies are to have a sufficient
food supply.
Here in the south we are still in
creasing the surplus of cotton. A two
years supply is on hand. The govern
ment should drastically curtail pro-
duction of this crop and use the acre
age taken out of cultivation for pro-
ducing other crops needed for the war
and release farm workers of the south
whose labor power is not being prop
erly utilized for other areas of the
u. S. A.
Furthermore farm labor must not
be frozen on the land at starvation
wages. The real American way to
keep farm labor on the land is to in
crease the wages and improve living
and working conditions on the farms
Of the nation to a parity" accorded
other American workers. This would
involve the extension of all social Sc
curity legislation to this group Of
American citizens and possible sub
sidy of wages paid farm labor. For
the past ten years the farm operators
have been paid millions of dollars by
The government to bring his living
standards up to parity with indus
Try. Very little of this enormous ex
Denditure has reached the men at the
bottom of the agricultural ladder and

ion of the government subsidy in the

WILL ARN0LD'S
PREDICTIONS
COME TRUE?
BY SCOTT NEARING

U. S. Asst. Atty. Gen. Thurman
Arnold is one of the few men in Amer
lean public life who talks persistently
about postwar capitalism. Arnold
was a college professor before he took
his government job, and has written
widely-read book on the nature of
capitalism.
Speaking before the Ottawa Public
Affairs Council in Canada, Arnold pic
tured postwar capitalism in which
competition, local, national and inter
national, will be general; in which
patent monopolies and other forms of
special privilege will be broken, and
full employment will be provided as
a result of the full productivity gen
Grated by the war
Competition is the foundation of the
capitalist paradise which Arnold fore
sees. He admits that in the days be-
fore the war big business groups con-
trolled U. S. economy, eliminated in
dependent enterprise and refused to
pass on to the consumer "the savings
of modern invention and modern or
ganization."
These dominant groups plunged us
into depression with an irreducible
minimum of 100000 unemployed,
want in the midst of plenty, idle CAPT
tai and idle labor" he said.
War and war necessity have broken
the power of monopoly groups, Arnold
insists, and given the small producer
a new opportunity.
While war demands continue, Arm
ODDS point will be valid. There will
be full production and general employ
ment. Once the war is over, however,
the picture will change completely:
1. War demands for manpower and
will cease = suddenly and
2. Members of the armed forces and
in war industries will be de-
by millions.
g. International trade and finance
will recover slowly from war-disloca-
ion.
A. There will be drastic price
changes.

Editors Note: The following arti
Gle was written for The Voice by a
new contributor, and the views stated
do not necessarily reflect those OF
the editor.)
One conclusion that can be drawn
Immediately from the recent election
returns is that the American people
did not vote for a more vigorous and
positive prosecution of the war. This
is particularly evident from the re-
election of such noted pre-Pearl Har-
land Brooks and Reps. Stephen A.
Day of Illinois, Hamilton Fish of New
York, O'Connor of Montana, Barry of
New York, Smith of Virginia, and
Hoffman of Michigan.
1t should be evident to every OBJ
server that the voters showed their
resentment at many of the restrictive
measures the government is forced to
place on the citizens, and it can well
be pointed out that the home front
demonstrated that it was not too
much in accord with the demands for
sacrifice. Those who voted against
rationing, against shortages of civilian
goods against high taxes, and against
other wartime necessities showed
that they preferred business as usual
rather than an about prosecution of
the war.

OFFICIAL WARNS
OF 1943 FOOD
PRODUCTION DR0F

UPPER DARBY, -(FP)-Unless
the Farm Security Administration is
given the funds and the authority tc
an alarming decrease in war food pro
duction next year, FSA Regional Di
rector J. H. Wood warned November
10 in making public a poll of farmers
in II eastern states.
Results of the poll, Wood said, gave
ample proof that the farm labor short
age can be licked by democratic
means, but he added that there is ian
alarming tendency to decrease produc-
ton next year. If this happens, it
will seriously jeopardize the war eff
fort. Just as food can win the war
and write the peace-so can lack of it
lose both"
Stressing that migratory labor camp
program did much. to solve the farm
ers' problems this year, Wood said
it was not enough and that the gov
eminent must move vast numbers OF
farm families from unproductive soil
and help them produce milk, meat,
eggs and vegetables instead of the
many things they are growing now
which the nation doesn't need
The FSA has laid out its 1913 pro-
gram for more and smaller camps and

FILIBUSTER ON
ANTI-P0LL
TAX BEGINS

+ WASHINGTON.-(FP)-The senate
bourbons November 13 began-not a
filibuster of the Pepper-Geyer anti-poll
tax bill, but a filibuster of the motion
to bring the bill on the floor.
After hours employed in meaning
less harangue Sen. Theodore ("That
Man, Bilbo ID, Miss.) arose and said
menacingly: Our friends will get to
vote on the motion-some day"
AT one point, after Sen. John H.
Overton 3D., La had asked for a
quorum call, when obviously there
wasn't quorum in the senate and
just as obviously no vote in prospect,
Sen. George W. Norris lind, Neb)
got angry.
AS he was about to rise, Sen. Josh
Lee ID, Okla.), recently defeated by
republican and oil man Ed H. Moore,
got up and asked if he might report
a bill from the senate military affairs
committee If there was no objection.
Eyes, l object" said the aroused
Norris. "If we're going to fight this
filibuster, we might as well start in
now"
Lee protested he had no intention
other than to report the bill. Sen.
Robert M. LaFollette Jr., prog,
Wis.,, who was in the chair, upheld
Norris, and ruled against point of
order which the dapper Sen. Wall
Doxey ID, Miss.) had raised.
Doxey, a member of the judiciary
committee which reported the bill to
the senate, claimed that it was not
reported out because there
were nine persons present out of IS
(and five votes by proxy and this did
not form a quoroum when the commit
tee voted on it.
Norris, a member of the committee
for over 10 years, said the committee
always had acted on the principle that
six constituted quorum.
Sen. Alben W. Barley d., Ky.), |
administration leader, authored the
motion to bring the bill up but sat
during most of the debate.
Finally the needing that the poll

gave him proved too much. Connally, |

where, as in the corner saloon, a man
gets all wound up in what he's saying
and forgets protocol.
The case that brought the 1910
Presidential candidate before the SUI
preme court was that of William
Schneiderman, now secretary of the
Communist party in California, whose
citizenship was revoked by the q. S.
district court of southern California,
which was upheld by the court of ap-
peals.
The pretty blonde on the first row

Later, in an equally significant re-
mark, he indirectly alluded to the
hostile times in which the case was
brought, by saying "That was in 1910.
You remember 1940."
He told how his client-who's get
