BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK, April 10,-1t is
pleasant TO have the Countess

Lady Carnarvon, who prefers

MANP0WER
GROUP STARTS
FUNCTI0NING

WASHINGTON OPP The man
power mobilization commission swung
into action here May 81 with the issu-
ance of eight directives laying the
groundwork for fullest utilization of
the manpower of the nation"
Paul v. McNutt, chairman of the
commission, announced that he had
ordered the directives drafted, to be-
come effective June 1, after consulta-
ton with the commission.
They provide:
1. That the U. S. employment serv-
ice will prepare and maintain list
of essential skilled occupations in
which there are shortages.
2. That the War Production Board
will classify war plants and war prod
ucts in the order of their urgency.
8. That the U. S. employment serv-
ice will make preferential referrals of
workers to employers in the order of
their priority.
4. That the U. S. employment serv-
ice will Immediately classify and ana
lyze the occupational skills question
naire sent selective service regis
trants.
5. That the local draft boards will
consult the U. S. employment service
before classifying or reclassifying per-
sons skilled in war occupations.
6. That the U. S. employment serv-
ice will increase it's activities and IA
cilities to provide additional agricul-
tural workers.
7. That the Farm Security Admins
tration will increase the number of its
labor camps to increase the supply
of agricultural workers.
8. That the Office of Defense Trans
portation and the Farm Security Adj
will provide for adequate
facilities for migrant
agricultural workers.
The eight directives are regarded
as constituting only slight beginning
of the manpower commissions job
and it was believed that shortly steps
will be taken which will virtually re-
quire the hiring of all workers through
the US. employment service.

CHARGED ms.
COMPANIES
Offer BRIBE

WORCESTER, Mass. - OPP - An
unsuccessful attempt to, bride the
president and secretary of the Mass
achusetts Federation of Labor with
100000 was the latest move of big
insurance companies in a fight to keep
the state fund for workmen's compen-
sation off the ballot this fall
This was revealed by MIL Sec.
Kenneth /. Taylor at a special union
conference on the state fund question
He said that representatives of the
insurance companies had approached
him and MFL Pres. Nicholas P. Nor
rissey with a proposition that the
100000 would be deposited in the
bank for them If they would agree to
keep the question from appearing on
the ballot
For the first time In a 25-year cam
paign the federation has obtained suf-
ficient signatures to place the issue
on the ballot
Realizing that adoption OF the state
fund would mean loss of $17,000,000
for them, the insurance COM
panies have been spending thousands
of dollars day fighting it.
In an unsuccessful attempt to prove
the petition signatures fraudulent,
the companies used an army of about
5000 agents, adjusters and other en-
ployes to cross-examine petition sign
ers in all sections of the state.
The federation Is fighting hard, al

But another factor that may force
nationwide gas rationing is need for
conserving automobile tires. There
is even talk of communicating cars
in order to get workers to defense
plants.

STATE BOARD
PROTESTS GAS
RATI0NING

The Montana Board of Railroad
Commissioners last Tuesday wired a
strong protest against the rationing
of gasoline in this state to Leon Hen
derson, Office of Price Administra-
ton, and copies were sent to United
States Senators Wheeler and Murray
and Congressman O'Connor and Ran
kin.
The wire follows: 1.-THE Montana
Board Of Railroad Commissioners ear
nestly protest proposed gasoline ra-
tioning for the state of Montana. We
respectfully submit that there is no
need in fact for such rationing in this
state and it would seriously curtail
the war effort.
Distances in Montana are great
and the sections having adequate bus
and rail facilities are relatively small
The rationing of gasoline would cause
a serious problem among the men
farms and ranches and in the lumber
ing industry The continued produc-
ton Of "copper" zinc, lead, manganese
and chromium ores and the vital
smeltering industry In Montana Is be-
ing threatened by a serious housing
problem, which necessitates that men
employed In these vital war industries
must travel some distances in going
from their homes to the place of en-
ployment.
This same situation also prevails
in the agriculture, sugar beet and live
stock industries of Montana.
"The Railroad commission has made
every effort to bring about the speedy
release of all railroad oil tank cars
in this state, and substitute transpor
tation by trucks, and at the present
time Montana has ample truck facil-
lilies to supply gasoline for the entire
state. The oil storage situation in
Montana oil fields is already acute
and to further curtail all oil opera
tons would tend to stop all develop
ment Of future oil reserves, whose
close proximity to the west coast and
Canada is vital to our war effort.

Slapped Down!
Tennessee's Senator Mcclellan went
to great lengths recently in calling
Farm Security Administrator Baldwin
a communist, and the FSA program
communism, but it was to no avail.
All he could muster were 10 votes
against the $50,319.557 appropriation
for this New Deal agency.
This was distinctly victory for
the progressive cause. FSA is one
of the most socially-minded OF all gov
eminent agencies, devoting its efforts
entirely to the job Of improving the
lot of the poorer farmer and farm
labor.
The house had cut the figure down
to $25,319,557, which, if passed, would
have crippled the program OF rural
rehabilitation loans and grants to
needy farm people.
Forty-eight votes were cast IN FAVOR
of the increased appropriation.
This marked the most singing re-
buke thus far for the so-called Econ
omy Bloc" headed by Virginia's Sen
ator Byrd.
Senators Byrd and Mcclellan have
particular dislike for FSA- and for
good reasons. If the low-income farm
ers in their states can get enough
money to pay their poll taxes IN order
to exercise their constitutional right
Of franchise, these senators may soon
be looking for new jobs.
But the story of agricultural appro-
priations also has dark side-a side
that shows that the spirit of appease-
ment on Capitol Hill is not dead by
any means.
In order to satiate the sreactionary
crowd, congress handed over to them
the decapitated head OF New Deal
agency when it eliminated from the
